VRA Cover #6 - Fatal Tragedy Ft. Rod Calcagno

[YtseCullen]

Here is the latest cover from VRA featuring a very talented member of our forum, who has performed numerous acoustic renditions of DT songs, Rod Calcagno (AKA Cebra4444)

Enjoy all 

Fatal Tragedy

[Adami]

Very cool for the most part, I have a few criticisms but I have a feeling I'll get yelled at for saying anything negative, so I'll keep them to myself.


Over all though, keep up the good work guys!

Great cover, as usual Thiago's ones are always among the very best 

[PetFish]

I feel Rod was way under-used with this song selection and when I first heard this was the next lineup I was thinking something like The Killing Hand where he could also play acoustic.

Really awesome stuff as usual, though, always sound perfect.

[SeRoX]

I can't say anything negative about instrumental performance but the vocals do not fit at all. Red's voice is soft and very nice, no doubt about that. I like his acoustic covers. That's why his voice sounds well with acoustic stuff. But when full-band performances matter his voice doesn't blend.

Again, his voice is really great but IMO, not in this song. 

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I love the Guitar/bass line from 3:09-3:30, i love small nuggets like that! We all know JP and JXM can shred but i always appriciate things that enhances a song in a subtle way, stuff like that! 

[snapple]

I can't say anything nice.

[Marion Crane]

Really really impressive

[Bertielee]

I can't say anything nice.

[rumborak]

I think one issue with the vocals is also that he's often coming in ever so late. Like, the tune is really driving, but he's lagging.

[OsMosis2259]

Excellent 

[cebra4444]

I'm taking note of the aspects that can be better in my  voice, thank u for the critics and compliments,
Peace,
Rod Calcagno

[PetFish]

Rod, you rule, almost every day right now I YouTube playlist Through Her Eyes, This is The Life, and Beneath the Surface.  You are an amazing talent.

I just don't think this was the right song choice for you.

[Adami]

It's not so much this song I think, but the style in which it was presented.


You have a beautiful voice......which sounds perfect with an acoustic guitar. However with a whole band playing heavy, then it sounds a bit weak. I'd say you found your perfect niche with the acoustic stuff and just kind of keep up with that.

[cebra4444]

Thank u guys! but I know I can do both, I'm learning everyday and I don't have to stick only on the acoustic side because my voice is soft...believe I'm working to get better

[Implode]

Everything's already been said. Great performance! I'm excited to see everyone keep getting better.

[PetFish]

Rod, when are you gonna add some scream-o growls to your repertoire? 

[krands85]

Rod's voice may be more suited to the acoustic stuff, but I still think he sounds great here and does a brilliant job - as do the rest of the guys.

I never fail to be impressed by these covers. There are other songs I'd prefer to hear them have a go at rather than Fatal Tragedy (i.e Learning to Live with Will Shaw ), but this is still top notch 

[Perpetual Change]

The only issue I have with Rob's voice is the pronunciation. Some pretty common issues like singing "d" when a "th" sound should be song in words like "this". But otherwise, beautifully done. Keep practicing English!

I've never understood this kind of unnecessary non-constructive criticism, as you said earlier you should've kept it to yourself.

Man, I had to do a double take at that name

I'm glad it had that kind of impact on you
