Children of Bodom covering Journey? Welllllll.... last Metal Month we did feature them covering Britney's “Oops ... I did it again” (that was hi-larious!) but this time they needn't quite hang their collective heads in shame, as this task was undertaken by their keyboard player Janne Warmin under his own solo project Warmen. On the fifth Warmen album they undertook to cover “Separate ways”, from the Journey album “Frontiers.” To be entirely fair, though Journey are known as wimp-rock and either praised or reviled for ballads such as “Open arms”, “Who's crying now” and “Don't stop believing”, this is one of their rockier tracks, and I could certainly see a metal band taking it on. As Warmen did, in 2009, on the album “Japanese hospitality”. Am I missing a joke here? Anyway they did a pretty damn good job on it, and you can check the two versions side by side here.
