One of the cool things about the Lord Of The Rings films is that us horror fans watching it can see the elements of director Peter Jackson’s earlier horror works, such as Bad Taste and Dead Alive. We horror fans can easily get a lot of joy out of these fantasy flicks (although I haven’t been keeping up with The Hobbit films), especially when it comes to the creatures, ghosts, practical FX, and more.
Something else that has become incredibly memorable from the original trilogy has been composer Howard Shore‘s score, which netted him three Academy Awards. It’s been covered multiple times on multiple instruments ever since it came out and now there’s another cover that is rather impressive.
Below is Zander Zon‘s solo bass cover, which creates a medley of several of the film’s tunes. It’s fascinating seeing him play through the various tunes, especially while using a spider capo (which can fret specific strings rather than all at once) as well as an E-bow. Check it out down yonder!
