One of the most underrated cover songs of all time IMO. They completely make it their own, while keeping a lot of the same general themes and concepts. But this sounds even more depressing and sad.
What makes even sadder to me, is that a girl that I fell in love with, showed me this version, and plot twist, the music was exactly our story. It ended as it started, with a Careless whisper
wouldnt go that far but it is amazing, johnny cash-hurt, shinedown-simple man, disturbed- the sound of silence, few i personally put ahead out of recent one in the last 20 years. its up there though
This song is one of my favorites. Seether is rock/metal band from South Africa. They have a ton of great songs. Definitely worth checking out the rest of their stuff.
@@StevieDrawStuff Because I said Dad metal it is now Gatekeeping? You just named a bunch of other Metal Genre's so you're aware they exist. Growing up on 80s thrash would explain why you like Dad Metal. Go be mad somewhere else weirdo.
The original broken is better. He originally wrote it for his daughter that he left back in South Africa when they came to America. Having Amy lee on the track changed the meaning and ruined it in my opinion.
In my defense, the Amy Lee version had a large impact on my life at the time so it's the version I lean towards. Glad we have plenty of Seether fans to offer recommendations for LBoyd
Both versions have great meaning to me. George Michael's original was the first song I danced to with my soulmate. We dated for 8 years, through HS, and got engaged on the 8th year anniversary of our first kiss. 6 months later, she passed away (1993). Fast forward to 2009, I'm divorced, and take my 2 kids to their very first concert, Nickelback. Seether was one of the opening acts, and they played this. I had no idea any band had redone this song. Life is weird, but I love it.
Seether has been my favorite band for well over a decade now. It’s hard to say where to start since almost every song of their’s is fantastic, but “Rise Above This”, “Don’t Believe”, “Tongue”, “Waste”, and “Walk Away From The Sun” are some underrated gems to try!
Seether is one of those bands that.. they don't really have any songs that are absolute top tier amazing, but at the same time.. literally everything they put out is good enough to the point they are generally just better than most bands imo. They know how to make something sound good, even if it isn't a masterpiece.
Seether has been my favorite band for many, MANY years. This cover is phenomenal, but my favorite cover they've done, by FAR, is their cover of Frank Sinatra's I've Got You Under My Skin.
I love that oneee!! I feel like not many people know it but guess that makes it a hidden gem for those that dug through the works of the band to cherish
Personally I dont think seether has any bad music. They have a seductive and intense sound. I really enjoy, if you're up for a 6+ minute ride, "no jesus christ". Its a great song for warmups/stretches before a workout. Most of their music is great to work out to actually
My favorite band! I’ve seen him 25 times so far and still counting 💛 This was one of the best covers ever, overall such an underrated band they’re just amazing
Seether is a powerhouse that's waaaay under appreciated. I've never had them playing and not had a smile on or if I have passengers a head staying still.
I haven’t seen you get this excited in awhile over a song lol love it one of my favorites from them fine again is also a great one to check out or the remedy
Seether is a great band! I highly recommend Rise Above This, especially with the story behind the song. Broken with Amy Lee is amazing as well. Lot of emotion in both of those songs!
“Forsaken” is a great song by these guys. You get the melancholy of Shaun’s voice interposed with a pretty aggressive breakdown. Highlights a few of the band’s key elements very well imo.
Mr. Boyd I could just see just a few seconds in that you were loving this cover! SEETHER absolutely turned an already very well done song on its head when they got the green light to put their spin on it! They made it their own in my opinion and churned out a MASTERPIECE!!! GREAT REACTION MR. BOYD LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
this is for me ,by far ,the best cover song of ALL TIME! this is my shit I still listen to this often. It's so perfect you forget it was an 80s pop/club song.
and yes, you HAVE TO listen to more seether, they are sooo good and really never got the exposure they deserve. They are still putting out new music too!
I love this cover they did. Seether is a bit underrated and have a few really good songs. Remedy, Fine Again, and Broken would be what I would reccomend from them.
Seether trac, Broken featuring the beautiful Amy Lee lead singer from evanescence do the video after you find watch the live version if you can find a live version
You said you were curious what THEY sound like.... thats the amazing thing about this cover, it's both very faithful to the original, and is also 100% Seether.
Having seen Seether live some seven times now I can say they are a highly underrated band. Shaun Morgan is one of the best vocalists in Rock. And that’s an opinion I won’t be swayed on.
One of my all time favorite covers… tbh I’ve listened to seether for many years and their song Broken with Amy Lee is absolutely one of the greatest songs to be written.
Interesting fact that might spin up a video idea for you.... Shaun Morgan (the lead singer of Seether) and Amy Lee (From Evanescence) dated for a short time, and after the breakup Amy Lee put out a song called " Call me when you're sober " and Shaun replied with " Fine Again " and dude, that is by far one of my favorite songs by them. My Mother introduced me to them and I still listen to them over 15 years later. They also have a song called " Save Today " that was a little out of their normal. I would recommend that as well. You'll find a lot of emotion in their music and the writing can be very fruitful. For a band inspired by Nirvana, they have come a very long way.
What I love about covers like this one Leo's cover of Africa, is how immediately identifiable they are. The second you hear that first chord you know you know the song that is coming! To me is the mark of a truly great song. If it can be translated into different genres of music or languages and still have the same familiarity it is simply amazing. Great reaction, as always, sir!
I’ll actually get to see them for the first time at rocklahoma this year luckily rocklahoma is a hour away from me, I’ve listen to them for years and wanted to see them. I listen to them a lot.
Whoa you're right the George Michael version was like a hey you're opposite sex i dated you but uhhh...i don't swing that way coming out song this song feels more like...hey i cheated on you and I'm so sorry and I know i don't deserve forgiveness. That's my take.
I'm looking forward to you finding Fine Again and Remedy from Seether the most. Two of their best and most content packed songs, I know you're gonna love them.
Love this cover so much! The original is great but doesn't have the pain like this one does! There is pain in the original but it was more of a hidden pain! This cover is up in your face!
I strongly recommend Seether. My personal favorite album is Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray. Anything from that album would be excellent for reactions.
One of the most underrated cover songs of all time IMO. They completely make it their own, while keeping a lot of the same general themes and concepts. But this sounds even more depressing and sad.

Completely agree.
This and No Quarter by Tool.
Agreed. They´ve made it their own. This is definitely Seether style.
Agree
This cover and shinedowns cover of a simple man
Anything Seether puts out as gold. I've watched them live four times.
They are number one on my concert bucket list
I was fortunate enough to see them Live at The Brandon Amphitheater one of the best Live experiences of my life!!!
SEETHER 🤘 🤘 🤘
Arguably the best cover song of any song ever. Seether is way too under appreciated.
wouldnt go that far but it is amazing, johnny cash-hurt, shinedown-simple man, disturbed- the sound of silence, few i personally put ahead out of recent one in the last 20 years. its up there though
Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage
@@seancasey535 not even close
@@seancasey535 That cover was terrible, honestly felt like a disrespect to Dio
Sound of Silence by Disturbed would like a word with you, that and the man who sold the world
This song is one of my favorites. Seether is rock/metal band from South Africa. They have a ton of great songs. Definitely worth checking out the rest of their stuff.
That's where I stay. Shaun and I went to the same school ha ha.
Seether is an extremely underrated band.
Dad metal*
@@bmix1017 Gatekeep much? I love Seether but I also love heavy ass death metal, industrial, grew up on 80s thrash. Whatever, Dad metal.
@@StevieDrawStuff Because I said Dad metal it is now Gatekeeping? You just named a bunch of other Metal Genre's so you're aware they exist. Growing up on 80s thrash would explain why you like Dad Metal. Go be mad somewhere else weirdo.
They have plenty of great songs but Broken ft. Amy Lee is one of the best and it would be great to have your reaction
The original broken is better. He originally wrote it for his daughter that he left back in South Africa when they came to America. Having Amy lee on the track changed the meaning and ruined it in my opinion.
The OG is so much better. The Amy lee one is overrated to the max.... its sad actually that most people do not listen to the old one.
@@jacencastillo6003 exactly my thoughts.
The original is so much better. Please do the one without Amy lee.
In my defense, the Amy Lee version had a large impact on my life at the time so it's the version I lean towards. Glad we have plenty of Seether fans to offer recommendations for LBoyd
"Words as weapons" is another Seether Favorite of mine.
That song is amazing
Both versions have great meaning to me. George Michael's original was the first song I danced to with my soulmate. We dated for 8 years, through HS, and got engaged on the 8th year anniversary of our first kiss. 6 months later, she passed away (1993).

Life is weird, but I love it.
gotta do more seether "Fine Again" "Words as weapons" "Driven Under" "Truth" list goes on
The entire disclaimer I/II albums beginning to end for sure
Replace Truth with the One Cold Night Live acoustic version
Seether has been my favorite band for well over a decade now. It’s hard to say where to start since almost every song of their’s is fantastic, but “Rise Above This”, “Don’t Believe”, “Tongue”, “Waste”, and “Walk Away From The Sun” are some underrated gems to try!
YES. An underrated band, with only a few songs acknowledged
Specifically, this! Listen to Broken Feat. Amy Lee, Fine Again, or Remedy
Listen to more Seether. Doesn't really matter what song, they're all awesome.
Seether is one of those bands that you can put on any CD and listen to the whole thing and never skip a song
Facts
Seether is so awesome. Great band.
Time to do Broken with Amy Lee (of Evanescence)
One of my favorite covers ever!
So glad you discovered seether! Enjoy the journey.
Careless Whisper is masterpiece of song writing.
George wrote a absolute bomb
Seether is one of those bands that.. they don't really have any songs that are absolute top tier amazing, but at the same time.. literally everything they put out is good enough to the point they are generally just better than most bands imo. They know how to make something sound good, even if it isn't a masterpiece.
As a hardcore Seether fan I agree with this assessment
Play this song at 1.25x Playback Speed. You'll be amazed. Could easily be a main stream hit.
Broken, Remedy, Gasoline all outstanding!
Seether has been my favorite band for many, MANY years. This cover is phenomenal, but my favorite cover they've done, by FAR, is their cover of Frank Sinatra's I've Got You Under My Skin.
I love that oneee!! I feel like not many people know it but guess that makes it a hidden gem for those that dug through the works of the band to cherish
They are always amazing! Absolutely love Seether!!
Personally I dont think seether has any bad music. They have a seductive and intense sound. I really enjoy, if you're up for a 6+ minute ride, "no jesus christ". Its a great song for warmups/stretches before a workout. Most of their music is great to work out to actually
YES! when I went on my weight loss journey I strictly listened to Seether. Either going on a run or lifting in the gym, They always go hard.
Glad you liked it. One of my favorite bands 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 I've met them, they're really good people.
The South African Accent so unique what every he sings 😍 great band !!!
My favorite band! I’ve seen him 25 times so far and still counting 💛 This was one of the best covers ever, overall such an underrated band they’re just amazing
Seether has lots of great songs but Driven Under is probably my favorite.
Seether is a powerhouse that's waaaay under appreciated. I've never had them playing and not had a smile on or if I have passengers a head staying still.
One of the best covers in my book, on par with Hurt by Cash and I will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
South Africa represent 🇿🇦 Seether are amazing, if you do more, try "Fine Again"... Epic song
To me this is literally the best cover of this song
You already know the song is great when people pay for MrLboyd to react to it, and he really enojys it in the first sounds)
I haven’t seen you get this excited in awhile over a song lol love it one of my favorites from them fine again is also a great one to check out or the remedy
Love love love this. So happy to see someone finally reaching to it.
Just hearing this for the first time, this cover is fantastic!
This makes it modern and they have given this song it due credit bringing it back for the younger gen.
My favorite thing that exists on your channel, is that moment you discover a new metal/rock band you've never heard of that you enjoy. Every time!
Seether is a great band! I highly recommend Rise Above This, especially with the story behind the song. Broken with Amy Lee is amazing as well. Lot of emotion in both of those songs!
I second both of these
the gift , plastic man , and Yeah are also great songs by them .
“Forsaken” is a great song by these guys. You get the melancholy of Shaun’s voice interposed with a pretty aggressive breakdown. Highlights a few of the band’s key elements very well imo.
Oh my word, this was my band, thank you for this reaction completely forgot thus song, has a bittersweet memory attached to it
Mr. Boyd I could just see just a few seconds in that you were loving this cover! SEETHER absolutely turned an already very well done song on its head when they got the green light to put their spin on it! They made it their own in my opinion and churned out a MASTERPIECE!!! GREAT REACTION MR. BOYD LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
Undoubtedly the BEST cover on that song ever
Seether is awesome. Check out gasoline.
One of the most underrated bands ever. Please do more seether.

One of my favorite bands of all time, Seether - Disclaimer....one of the best albums ever.
"Rise above this" is a great Seether song...
"Words as Weapons", "Fine Again"....just about anything that they put out. You won't be disappointed.
I love this cover they did. Seether is a bit underrated and have a few really good songs. Remedy, Fine Again, and Broken would be what I would reccomend from them.
Best cover ever
One of my favorite covers. So glad you found and enjoyed it.
I NEED more of this content. They have been one of my top 5 bands for over half my life. Love them!
Watching them for my 8th time at rocklahoma in 2 weeks. Amazing band!
This is one of the best covers ever!!!! I heard it when it first came out and still get goosebumps
Damn, what a cover! Never heard this before.
A song from them I love to listen to is "Nobody Praying For Me".
Seether trac, Broken featuring the beautiful Amy Lee lead singer from evanescence do the video after you find watch the live version if you can find a live version
You said you were curious what THEY sound like.... thats the amazing thing about this cover, it's both very faithful to the original, and is also 100% Seether.
It's one of the best covers I have ever heard, didn't know what to expect but have had this on my music play list for a long time
Seether turnedd this song from an all time classic to an all time favorite . They did an amazing job
One of my favorite covers ever.
Seethed is truly underrated. You should definitely check out more
This cover is actually how I discovered this song. Still my favorite version of all time
Love your analogy and clear insight….love these guys
I love your love for great music. Not always a fan of reaction videos but every time i see yours i appreciate it
also ,I love how you, me, and everyone that replied, just intuitively "gets it"
Having seen Seether live some seven times now I can say they are a highly underrated band. Shaun Morgan is one of the best vocalists in Rock. And that’s an opinion I won’t be swayed on.
One of my all time favorite covers… tbh I’ve listened to seether for many years and their song Broken with Amy Lee is absolutely one of the greatest songs to be written.
My absolute favorite band, I’ve never heard a bad song by them.
Seether is one of the best bands ever I've seen them live 5 times

Shaun Morgan had one of the best voices in hard rock
seether has so many great songs

One of the best covers I've ever heard imo man. Seether is great, I've seen/ met them many times, great guys!
This one and alien ant farms smooth criminal are GOATED covers
Yeah! Some South African flavour. ❤🇿🇦
More Seether please! Breakdown, Fine Again, Love Her, Nobody's Praying For Me, Never Leave, Driven Under, Broken
Seether is one of the bands of my youth
I love seether! Fine again is my favorite by them. But Breakdown, Broken (with or without Amy Lee), and Driven under are all great as well.
i used to rock out to this in high school.
one of my top 10 covers of all time
Seether is dope
I love the original but Seethers cover just hits different. The emotion Shaun puts into Please Stay rips my heart apart everytime
I have loved this cover from Seether so much I even would say more than the original
Seethers most popular songs are Fine Again and Remedy
Another awesome song is a duet with Amy Lee (Evanescence) called Broken
No. Get out of my way!
Definitely need more Seether reaction
Whoa you're right the George Michael version was like a hey you're opposite sex i dated you but uhhh...i don't swing that way coming out song this song feels more like...hey i cheated on you and I'm so sorry and I know i don't deserve forgiveness. That's my take.
Check out “Broken” by Seether and Amy Lee of Evanescence
it's the best cover song I've ever heard.
People hated this version when it first came out. It even took me a couple of listens to truly appreciate it. My sons 11 and he loves this song.
I'm looking forward to you finding Fine Again and Remedy from Seether the most. Two of their best and most content packed songs, I know you're gonna love them.
Gasoline by Seether is one of my favorites
Tied my hands is hands down the best seethed song
Love this cover so much! The original is great but doesn't have the pain like this one does! There is pain in the original but it was more of a hidden pain! This cover is up in your face!
You need to check out Seether feat. Amy Lee- Broken! Amazing song! Pass Slowly, Weak I could go on and on. Seether is amazing!
I strongly recommend Seether. My personal favorite album is Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray. Anything from that album would be excellent for reactions.
Remedy by Seether is my all time favorite
