Here it is my Metal Guitar Cover of SISTAR's absolute banger back in summer of 2011, which is "So Cool"

First of all, I listened to this song back in mid-2020 and I really like all of these summer 2011 K-Pop hit, especially 2NE1's "I Am the Best" and T-ARA's "Roly-Poly", both of these are their absolute banger in this era! and I also know that Hyolyn and Bora's sub-unit, SISTAR19 has made a comeback back in January 2024 with "No More (Ma Boy)", and I really liked it very much, and here's another SISTAR for you! and I did "So Cool" this time, and this song has those catchy SISTAR vibe, and the interesting thing is at the intro is "I Wanna Rock!~" and everytime I listened to this part, it reminds me into a song by Twisted Sister, "I Wanna Rock", because of that, should I call it a "Twisted SISTAR" reference? of course! and do you remember there is "Mighty SISTAR" word somewhere in one of SISTAR's song? absolutely! and I really liked the "Yeah I feel so cool cool~" thingy, which makes this song well known, and I also love Hyolyn as well as Soyou in this one too

Aside from that, arrangement wise, I made it into more Heavier Metal influenced (in the style of FamilyJules) as well, for the main intro part, I wrote those guitar riffs that matches with the synth part, and I really liked that, as well as for the first pre-chorus part, I wrote all of those djenty passages that worked really well, and at the "Yeah I feel so cool cool~" part, I wrote those riffs that matches well with the vocal part, just like what I did on T-ARA's "Like the First Time", and right at the second pre-chorus part, I wrote those mighty chugging riffs as well (which also reminiscent to "Mighty SISTAR" word in one of SISTAR's song) and I also put a guitar solo right at the interlude part as well as the outro part which I really liked very much, and of course, Yeah I feel so cool cool~
