My other friends are pilots I can get helicopters. So that idea quickly got tossed and we said, “Let’s put it into a post-apocalyptic world. You’ve never seen a cowboy with dreadlocks. Then we were thinking, 5FDP on horses and spurs really doesn’t work. Naturally, the video treatment has a little bit of that vibe too, along with all the drinking and gambling.
#REMADE SONGS BY FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH MOVIE#
Somehow that prompted Ivan to do some whistling and gave the song that Western movie vibe. The whistling in the beginning of the song was inspired by a painting of Clint Eastwood on the wall in our studio. Zoltan Bathory: I’m certified by the U.S. Then I’m doing some reading and you’re a combat instructor so it made sense Robert: I was watching the video and thought the portrayal of the commandos looked very professional. It’s not somebody’s song where it’s a sacrilege to change it. We can do whatever with it because that’s how folk songs develop. It’s actually a folk song, so we can change the lyrics. A lot of strife and hurt for him came out of those personal things. We live in Las Vegas, drinking and gambling was a big part of his life. If you look at the lyrics of “House of the Rising Sun,” it’s about drinking and gambling. If he can’t emotionally connect to a song, he can’t do it. By the same token, he cannot sing a song about Viking warriors, because it has nothing to do with him. He sings every song like it just happened. When he sings, he relives the pain, and the audience can see it, feel it, and experience it. It’s always about our lives it’s always something that actually happened and emotionally connected to him. The other thing is for our vocalist, Ivan. You have to pick the song that’s really different from your own style so you can make it into your own, and you can really re-instrument it. There’s not going to really be that much re-interpretation. There’s no reason for us to remake a Metallica song when they’re in the same genre. One of them is you can’t really make it your own, until you drastically change the sound of it. It’s really difficult to find a song that you can cover, yet meets the band criteria. This was the very first song I ever learned to play on the guitar. Zoltan Bathory: There a couple of different reasons. The original version is clearly not metal, why did you choose this song and was it difficult to make it sound like a 5FDP song? Robert Cavuoto: You did a fantastic job covering “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals. We also dug into how 5FDP reworked the classic folk song, “House of the Rising Sun”, to give it a hard rock vibe, as well as performing at festivals this summer. I had the chance to speak with guitarist Zoltan Bathory about his humble beginnings living in a communist country, teaching himself guitar and music theory, with a guitar he built out of a coffee table. This gasoline-soaked cinematic video was filmed in the high deserts of Nevada, directed by the band’s guitarist, Zoltan Bathory. In anticipation of their appearances at most North American rock festivals this summer, 5FDP has just release an epic new video for The Animal’s song, “House of the Rising Sun”. Five Finger Death Punch are undoubtedly one of the most relevant and successful bands of our time due to their uncompromising musical intensity and razor sharp lyrics.ĥFDP dominated 2013, by releasing their blockbuster project, a two-part masterwork, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell – Volume 1 and 2.īoth volumes debuted on the Billboard album chart at #2, featuring two #1 hit singles “Lift Me Up” and “Battle Born”.
