IF ONLY DANI FILTH COULD SEE THIS

Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 1:00pm by Vince Neilstein

More than any other band, Cradle of Filth seem to attract the attention of YouTube vocal covers done by bedroom-dwelling, suburban goth teens (see also: this cover of “Nymphetamine” starring hot twins). Since we’re obsessed with YouTube vocal covers and Cradle of Filth are inherently kinda funny, this provides us and the MS Mansion Monkeys with great amusement.

This cover of “Her Ghost in the Fog” is pretty brilliant if you ask us. The best part: “I know I look like shit right now but in an HOUR OR TWO I’ll look perfect and I will use the power of dark side that has been given to me to scream my ass off for you guys so rock on.” Notes MS Maniac BondedByBlood, who sent this clip in: “I saw him at a show last night and he wore the same hilarious makeup.” Sometimes I wished we lived in the suburbs so we’d see hilarious shit like this. NYC kids are too cool or something. This kid’s high-pitched screams are absolutely ace.

    This one’s called… her ghost… in the…….. FORRRRRRGGG

  2. Jesus… somebody should send him a request for a Deathspell Omega cover. Maybe the power of the dark side would help him with that one.

    His mom’s throw pillows and wall art are fucking BRVTAL. Why couldn’t he record his intro post-wardrobe and makeup? Just couldn’t stand the wait, I guess.

  4. ERiK says:

    is he related to perez hilton?

  5. Kuranes says:

    Here’s the microphone he’s using. It’s similar to one my three-year-old daughter has:

    It was alright I reckon…but that make up is fucking retarded.

  7. Andrew says:

    Was anyone else just wishing with all their might that his parents walked in behind him? Cuz that would just make it. Also – would it kill these kids to double check the lyrics before they record themselves? He even went so far as to call the song “THE Ghost In the Fog” – seriously dude? You don’t even know the title?

    • SourDeez says:

      I was just thinking that about his parents. That would make the video priceless. “GURRRRGGGGLLLE GUUUUUURRRRRR GROOOOOOOOooh shit, you’re home early! I guess now would be a good time to tell you…I’m gay”.

  8. Jake says:

    Metal vocals are hilarious when the music is in the background. I always have to leave the recording room when my vocalist does his tracks. I laugh the whole fucking time. HAHA!!

  9. Fred Grilch says:

    This is just embarrassing to watch. Why are people filming themselves looking like losers?

  10. timmah says:

    oh wow 3:30 to 3:37 I absolutely lost it….ahahahahaha

  11. facefacefack says:

    “HER GHOST IN THE FOOOORRRG”

  12. Nebiros says:

    I could come up with a long, witty comment, but I’m just going to go for “lol!” on this one.

  13. Sandwiches says:

    “NOW WE SHALL BEGIN!” pffffffff ha ha ha

  14. Jacob says:

    Read his biographical info shit on his youtube page. funny crap. but since i know you guys won’t…here’s a golden little excerpt that explains why he’s so angry that he needs to hide it with makeup:
    “Influences:
    Cradle Of Filth, Evanescence, Kamelot, Dimmu Borgir, Bathory, Behemoth, Within Temptation, and a couple other bands :) oh and Melissa (The bitch of my ex-girlfriend).”

    poor guy got dumped….
    Too bad it wasn’t into a car compactor.

  15. Chris says:

    I’m good friends with him, he came to see my band last night wearing that ‘hilarious makeup’.

  16. ThatRawrGuy says:

    Oh my god, the transition of him ugly as shit, then with the make up on with that look on his face was priceless, and sad. I haven’t laughed like that in awhile lol.

  17. Shpadoinkle says:

    I don’t know what I love more: the cushions or the ear plugs. This is sooo metal!

  18. Marcos Gomez says:

    3:51-4:05 has me fucking rolling.

  19. Blashyrkh says:

    See, I love bodom and all, always have done… but this is exactly the reason why I dont own a bodom t shirt, never shall do.

    • kjetil says:

      a bit related note, I also got doubts whether or not to wear my In Flames t-shirts.. not my most thought through purchases..

  20. Lenin Ramos says:

    get a job men and a girlfriend…. sucks…

  21. Fong Chung says:

    Someone should send this kid a Waking The Cadaver cover. I think I would be probably rolling on the ground for hours.

  22. Jake says:

    ROFL HE POSTED THIS ON THE VIDEO COMMENTS
    Yeah my hairs grown again :D the makeup is way better now, lmfao the background sofa is to blame on my mother. Im going to redo this video again, later on this year. Way better makeup and disguise…. Definatly. Just think, the trench coat in Nymphetamine with major ass heavy makeup :D I have it all to my disposal, I just need the time to actually record the video.

  23. Pacheco says:
