Eyeless (Slipknot cover)

This is what Slipknot would sound like if they were only one guy in his bedroom and didn't yell so much.

• play
• pause
• min volume
• max volume

Fixed that for you.

If Slipknot had sounded like this they would have been good.

I must agree with the others. Infinitely better than the original! :P

Thanks for listening and for the kind words. I used to love Slipknot and this song as a teenager forever ago!

Nice! Clean simple guitar and good voice. Sorry about the Slipknot.

I'm not familiar with the original but I like your vocals on this, and how it's so breathless -- you never let up until near the end, it's neat.

=) Thanks!

Karlos, that's why I thought it would be interesting to cover. Strangely, the rhythm and syncopation of nu-metal vocals seem to work quite well in acoustic covers.

Very good. Didn't the slipknot bassist die recently?
