 Song 237

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! :) Today I will be doing a comparison piece on a cover. I haven't done one, since I reviewed BMTH version of Wonder Wall. So I figured this would be a great opportunity to do it again! Today's song is a cover of Thank You For The Venom by MCR, done by BVB! So let's get into it! 

I'll start with the original song, now Thank You For The Venom is a pretty well known song by MCR. It's off their 2004 album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. A popular album of theirs. They're a heavier sound on this song, compared to the cover. As well as more screamy themes. But the vocals and instrumentals are still really amazing. Now on to the Black Veil Brides cover. The intro on both songs are still the same, they have that heavy sound. Only on the cover, it sounds darker. I feel like, there's a more poetic vibe to this cover. On the original, we have this raw almost angry energy. Whereas with the cover, you understand the lyrics because it's presented in a softer way. I'd also like to mention how it sounds theatrical too. If there had been a music video for the original song when it came out, I think it would have been really cool. I can picture the story more, when I hear Black Veil Brides version of it. Which lead me to think about a music video. On the instrumental part there is a deffinite difference, one sounds heavy but punk. And the other one sounds heavy and dark. I really like BVB take on this song, I think they did a really good job with it. On the outro, we have backing vocals mixed with the chorus. Just like the original. The song ends differently, by one note. Just one word, and note difference. For personal reasons, I like BVB cover because I feel like it's easier to sing along with. My lower register isn't great, when I sing songs that have a deeper voice. I feel like this cover makes that easier for me, just because it's in a register that I can sing. But I do still love the original song, because MCR is kind of special to me, they were the band that got me into the hard-core/metal-core/pop-punk/etc genre. So I'll always love them. 

Whether you like the original Thank You For The Venom, or the cover by BVB this song is amazing! I hope you do consider checking out the cover though. Until next time, happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3

I'm trying something new, I wanted to start adding an author's photo :) That's me! I won't do it for all of my posts, but I thought I would try it :)
