Andy Reheldt's syncro-remastering of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" [Smooth Jazz]
You know all those crazy videos that you see posted everywhere in the metal community? You know, the smooth jazz version of Lamb of God’s “Set to Fail”, or the Disney radio version of “Hammer Smashed Face” by Cannibal Corpse? These vids have become quite the phenomenon, particularly on Youtube, and its due in large part to the incredible quality of them. Videos on the Net are usually a dime a dozen, especially when it comes to metal stuff, but these videos are professionally recorded dubs for no reason other than personal amusement. The question that everyone has been asking though, after giggling at their favorite songs dubbed with a country flare, would be “who the hell would do this, and why isn’t he/she the most famous dubber next to Mili Vanili?” Well, yours truly set out to find these answers...
The man’s name is Andy Rehfeldt, king dubber extraordinaire, friggin’ Grammy Award winner (no joke), and our personal metallic satirical hero. I was able to ask the man some questions after my arduous journey, to discover the man behind the myth.
In his own words:
" My name is Andy Rehfeldt. I work as a composer at Endless Noise Music and Sound Design. My main instrument is a Stratocaster. I love playing guitar more than anything -- even though I used to be a keyboard player.
The idea of dubbing music to videos came when I realized I had Lamb of God vocal tracks ( from the Wrath CD) that I could mess around with. I found their most recent video on Youtube, downloaded it, and then decided it would be funny to have them play lighter, happier music. When I posted it, that was very exciting to me- the fact that thousands of people could see what I’ve done."
And today's featured track:
author's comments: All instruments played and recorded by me.
(concert footage and vocals are original, built-upon constructions.)
