Oh boy, are you guys in for a treat! 🤯 British guitar sensation Sophie Lloyd just dropped an instrumental guitar cover of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Nightmare” and I’m not sure if I should be impressed or concerned for her sanity 😂. I mean, who needs vocals when you can just shred your way through a song, right? 🤘
So, Sophie Lloyd, the guitar prodigy, has released this insane instrumental cover of “Nightmare” just in time for Halloween, because what’s more terrifying than a bunch of chromatic runs and minor-interval harmonies? 🎃 She claims that “Halloween is my favorite holiday” and that “Nightmare” just embodies the spirit of the spooky season. Yeah, no kidding, Sophie, it’s a song about nightmares, what’s not to love? 😴
The Making of a Guitar Hero
Sophie says she “loved exploring how chromatic runs and minor-interval harmonies can create this tension” in her cover, because, you know, that’s exactly what the world was missing – more tension. And, of course, she had to pay homage to the original music video by having a mental asylum theme, because what’s more metal than a creepy abandoned asylum? 🏠 She even got Dean Addison to film the music video in a former UK Cold War bunker, because why not? 🤯
The music video is set in the bunker’s abandoned medical wing, where Sophie is subjected to disturbing experiments that eventually turn her into a demonic figure. Because, you know, that’s exactly what happens when you play too much guitar – you become a demon. 🤘 Because, as Sophie puts it, “I wanted to pay homage to the original music video by having a mental asylum theme with someone being wheeled along the corridor. But we put our own spin on it, with the patient basically being experimented on so much that they turned into this possessed guitar wielding demon.”
Sophie’s also a huge fan of Avenged Sevenfold, which is no surprise, given her guitar skills. She says the band has been one of her favorites since she started playing guitar and that Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance have been big inspirations to her. Yeah, because who wouldn’t want to inspire a young guitar prodigy to become a demonic guitar-wielding monster? 🤘
A Cover Worth Waiting For
Sophie’s cover of “Nightmare” is actually a redo of one of her first YouTube covers back in 2012. Yeah, because what’s more fun than watching a 10-year-old cover of a song and comparing it to a new one? 🤣 She’s come a long way, folks, and it shows – she’s now a full-fledged guitar demon. 🤘 She’s even met the A7X guys a few times, having played some of the same festivals, like Rock in Rio, while touring with MGK. They’re “such lovely, genuine people,” she says, which is code for “they didn’t think I was too weird.” 😂
After a busy year of touring with MGK, Sophie’s turning her attention to creating more covers and original music, because the world needs more of her unique brand of guitar-driven madness. 🤘 For exclusive behind-the-scenes content, sneak peeks, and more, you can follow her on Patreon, because who wouldn’t want to support a guitar-wielding demon? 🤑
In conclusion, Sophie Lloyd’s instrumental cover of “Nightmare” is a must-listen for any metalhead, guitar enthusiast, or fan of demonic possession. So, go ahead, give it a spin, and try not to become too possessed by the sheer awesomeness of it all. 🤘🎃
