The original video is a super minimalistic black and white/thermal? Maybe a coincidence but also written during a divorce hopfully Leo is doing alright....
And nobody even knows who wrote it lol look at all of Phil Collins other songs, they all suck. No way he wrote this. Most big bands never write their own songs anyways, the industry is pretty effin corrupt and rigged. Sell out or never get famous. The only 2 options, talent comes 2nd.
I admire Leo's fearlessness in the songs he chooses. So many of these songs should be impossible to cover, especially as heavy metal, but he makes them all awesome.
Fun fact, Gabriel’s Genesis bandmate Phil Collins was playing the drums as usual when his beats were accidentally picked up by the microphone used by audio engineers to talk to the band. That microphone wasn’t meant to record music-its heavy compressors were designed to turn down loud sounds while amplifying quiet ones. The equipment also utilized a noise gate, which meant the recorded sounds were cut off shortly after they started. The result was a bright, fleeting percussive sound unlike anything heard in popular music. Gabriel loved the effect, and made it the signature sound on the opening track of his album. A year later, Collins featured it in his hit single “In the Air Tonight,” perhaps the most famous example of gated reverb to date. Time: 3:13
Mostly accurate but according to the engineer, the noise gate wasn't part of the initial 'discovery' but rather something they added on later "almost for a laugh". www.psneurope.com/studio/reverb-sound-discovery-hugh-padgham
@@cr1ng372 I hold that badge with honour, In a time when you can't really move about I'm happy to sit in and work on guitars and read up on rock history.
Put on a really good pair of headphones, sit back, close your eyes and take in one of the greatest covers of all time. Seriously, I finally get the message behind this song. It's literally about a man who has just about enough. He is done. This fucking shit is so emotional man. Jesus dude. Good job leo. Fucking A bro.
Well said, Good Sir...👏👏👏. I just got introduced to this amazing man via my 26 year old daughter....and I am forever in her debt. This isn’t just goofy cover sh*t...holy hell.
@@victoriavinson8401 Don't quote me on this.....I seen from different sources that it was actually about his either brother or friend who went swimming with one if their friends and ended up drowning because the other friend wouldn't help...Supposedly, After Phil wrote the song he invited the friend to a front row seat concert...He then proceeded to sing this song for the first time while looking the guy dead in the eyes the whole song...Again, Supposedly that night after the concert...The guy went to his house and killed himself
Hello Leo, I'm a 51 years old man and this song is in my head together the '80 & '90 classics... Thank you very much for this great version. Have a great 2021. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina (South America).
Always made me smile when I'd see people talking about this track being about revenge instead of personal despair. Phil collins did a wonder with this track. The internalised turmoil and man vs his worst enemy, himself. I remember being knee high to a grasshopper when I was given advice that was "remember only you, can ever truly break your heart" For a pop star this song is a dark representation of self hatred and self destruction and Leo pulled it off a seriously perfect cover.
First verse sounds like he was a bystander to something horrible. 2nd verse has a lil of the 'Hello me, it's me again' kinda vibe but its unclear about much except that the subject(s?) are keeping silent about what happened. I picture a child witnessing his single mother getting killed then growing up with it festering. Then years later.. 'I've seen your face before, my friend But I don't know if you know who I am'. Then he confronted and killed (since it was the last time) the killer 'It's the first time. The last time we ever met'. Then living with the guilt of the secret same as the original killer did. 'Well, the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you and me' Being consumed by and acting on revenge would be self destructive and cause self hatred so maybe some of that is in there but the hatred in the first verse certainly seems like its toward someone else. Since Phil Collins himself won't admit to knowing what the song is about, I guess its all speculation but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if phil has a few skeletons in the closet.
Leo is obviously a genius. All the versions he does are simply amazing. They are all kind of funny, heavy yes, but funny also. This one is a different beast. It's dark, dense, gives the goosebumps
I’m also a big fan of the Nonpoint version. this is right up there! in my ears, Collins, Nonpoint and Leo are the 3 best versions of the song I’ve heard. (in no particular order)
True Renaissance Man. I don’t know how you ever had the time & will to learn EVERYthing you have. All the instruments, video editing, comedy, video directing, drama, and just music mixing & producing ALONE…all of it, man. Such a talented dude.
The best remake I've heard of this iconic sound. I'm always impressed with Leo's ability to make metal truly a musical experience. Not just meaningless distortion and screaming, but truly ART.
Found this guy a few years back now. Took exactly 27 seconds for me to say "hell yell" been a fan ever since. Has my vote for most talented man on earth.
I remember being blown away when the original came out in the 1980s. There's a good reason they used it in the pilot episode of Miami Vice. And now this!! I think this is now my favourite version of this classic song. You've managed to capture the darkness and the despair perfectly. Thank you.
Are we gonna talk about what a world class singer Leo is? He covers up with loads of hilarious antics but hes proven his worth with this cover as far as I'm concerned. Gonna be hard to beat, Leo!!
when my grandfather passed I was a 16 year old in year 12 at high school,, my mum let me play Metallica Fade to Black at his funeral... that song is memorable to a lot of the oldies at the funeral who didnt even know who Metallica were,, even now , I'm 44, that song brings back raw emotion and tears..
This is probably my most favorite song of all times. I have heard so many remakes of it and I just drop my head in severe disappointment. You actually did it extreme justice. Thank you.
The original is one of my favorite songs of all time, so it takes ALOT for me to say this, but this is one of the best covers of any song i have ever heard.
Another gem I just discovered, thank you for the great show yesterday in the Effenaar, Eindhoven in The Netherlands. For those who havent seen this band live, you must go see them, they are awesome
This piece was always with me in the second moments of my life, so completely by accident. When I was in the army, in love ... and today. Today I am 46 years old and at a crossroads, I am with one woman, but I love the other. A love I rejected years ago. Today, after work, tired, I turned on Phil's original and, so tired, I got dressed to get on my bike and go home. I fire up your account and you uploaded this piece .... that's not a coincidence. Thanks man you did something good for my heart. You cut a diamond in a note and sound that I adore. I greet you, brother. Artur from Poland.
There have been a few times where I was like "oh no Leo, not this one, it's too iconic, leave it alone". But then I give it a listen and can't help but to throw a thumbs up at it immediately. Nicely done yet again. One of the coolest experiences I had with this song was in the early 90s when I went to a Hardrock Cafe for the first time (Atlanta). In The Air came on and next thing you know they are turning down the lights and cranking the volume. Not sure why they did it with only this one song, but it was an unforgettable night.
I'm not the first to say this... but this freaking rocked. Leo didn't "over-metal?" it. I love how he kept the melody similar, but different... added a few sustained notes... instead of Phil's. Also loved that the iconic dun dun dun da dah dun was kept. Then the rest he just added to it. Killer Leo, just killer. This and Africa w/ Rebea and Hannah are my top two favorites on repeat right now. Keep safe everyone, this is a plus for 2020.
Leo is awesome! He stayed true to the original with a lot of the ambiance of the song and at 3:15 he did the drum part that everyone plays the air drums too while rocking this in the car!
I love the fact that like alway's you haven't wrecked the original at all, you spun it your way which is awsome and a breath of fresh air !!! Cheers my friend from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Fuck the 1,000+ people who disliked this. This is better than the original. Leo deserves more love, he is one of the best musical artists to ever bless my ears. His covers are better than the source material. Leo Moracchioli is a metal genius, may you forever be successful and rock on.
The bestvjob cover ever...ive discovered you leo recently....excellent job....ive been cranking it up on the property...middle of nowhere....and still manage to people ask whos ?.....this song wakes up the dead.....love it
I was just chilling in bed at 6:39 am I saw YMCA metal cover and I had to listen. Thank you Leo for your life long obsession with the tool's of your trade. It blew my mind when I herd everything so far. !
Dude, you are genius, on a lot of your songs, I prefer it over the original. I love that you play all the instruments, it is awesome. Keep up the good work buddy, in the last 4 days I am only listening to your songs on spotify. Mad skills. This cover is EPIC, had it on repeat for ages. All the best ❤
Always sounded to me like he's talking to his wife's lover. Of course this is speculation and even if true, I respect Phil's decision to not out his ex wife that way and just claim he was angry when he wrote it.
Oh, the original is plenty dark. Phil Collins' smooth voice and clean singing contrasts with the lyrics the same way a mob boss' polite demeanor contrasts with his death threats. (see also: Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen)
@@deusexaethera love the original but I'm a metal head so this sits perfectly for me. But STILL love Phil's version. Unfortunately we won't be able to see him play it anymore 💔
This is the single greatest video Leo has ever done. The vibe, the song choice, the arrangement, the blackout lenses on his eyes. Amazing vision for this song and video.
First thought when i see leo covering this masterpiece, "how dare you touch this perfection?!".... then i listen and i should have known it would be good cause Leo is a genious. A genious covering a genious
This is the first time since this song came out that i could understand every single word in the song. Its amazing what a little annunciation can do. I like this as much as the cover of Funky Cold Medina and Sultans of Swing!
An excellent homage to Phil Collins' song. I have heard several versions from other bands, and I'm still thinking it's a toss up between this and In This Moment's version, both of which I love. Chris Daughtry did a good job with Brad Arnold, but as with most bands, I feel there isn't the passion and power behind it. So, in closing, Leo, you are somewhere in my top 3, with In This Moment, and the original. Well done! I think I'll have to listen to it a couple hundred more times, just to be sure... ;)
Damn. Leo, my dude. You knocked this one out of the park. The park, is like... A tiny dot in the distance from here. This cover is crazy good, definitely in your top ten, maybe top three. Aces.
This is the ONLY version of this song that I can listen to. I love Phil Collins (I'm an 80's guy) but have always found his version of this song to be probably the most nauseating hit song from the 80's. If I ever suffer from insomnia I know I can put his song on and it will knock me out like anesthesia. For me this song takes too long to finally rock (Phil's never does) but yours really kicks ass at the 4 minute mark. I like the close up facial expressions in your video (That's metal).

One of those songs where nobody can come close or make better. The original still gives me chills on a good sound system
It the beat and slow burn intro that most cover want to rush.
low, deep, threatening.
I wouldn't mind hearing more metal like this.
And all these years I thought Phil was saying "Hold On". I never heard "Oh Lord" until Leo said it.

Note: I always thought Phil was saying, "Hold on". Lol
Until I read this note I thought the same thing, "hold on."
This just made my top 10 Leo covers!
Respect! You have done it very well. Thanx a lot!
Dude, this is a work of art. The music, the visuals, outstanding.
So agree overalll very impressive
DAMN, This song just hits in all the right ways. Phil Collins wrote this about going through a divorce. Brighter days are coming Leo.
Overland Trailer I find it interested that Leo recorded not longer after his. I just realised that.
Zissou Moonshot It was his divorce. It’s well documented.
Always sounded to me like he's talking to his wife's lover.

The Beatles " Come together"
Chicago - "25 or 6 to 4" would be awesome.
Or Saturday In the Park
Yes!
Hell yes. Badass song. Shred city.
Do it!
Love this idea!
Perhaps this is the most delicious outstanding clip - the music of this musician!😋
Even a fun loving guy like Leo can't sway from the seriousness of this song. What a sick cover
First thought when i see leo covering this masterpiece, "how dare you touch this perfection?!".... then i listen and i should have known it would be good cause Leo is a genious. A genious covering a genious
The same thoughts, original is just a masterpiece, but cover is definitely not bad
@@unbeliever12 no, of course not. Leo is great. But no one can out Collins the Collins
@@kjc4792 yep
When does this guy sleep? . Truly phenomenal talent
This is the first time since this song came out that i could understand every single word in the song. Its amazing what a little annunciation can do. I like this as much as the cover of Funky Cold Medina and Sultans of Swing!
Me: „Hey Leo, which bands and songs can you do cover songs of?“
Leo: „Yes“
“I Ran” Flock of Seagulls.
Word...
Yes!!! That would be epic!
Already done. last year.
@@chriscasseday7707 i dont think he did
Everybody listening... "I'm waiting for that drum roll pass..."
Perfect drum roll followed by wicked guitaring
3:13
Yeah...
And he did not disappoint
Well..yeah.
One of my favorites 😢actually can relate Thank you Leo
I was just thinking about this song earlier this morning. Chills from this version. Lit
"Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers ?🤷
That would be a good cover. Good suggestion
That would be so sweet would love to see more older songs like that turned into a cover.
I couldn't help but think about Paul Simon's "you can call me al". I can only imagine how much fun you would have with that
This dude is absolutely awesome in a class of his own soooooooo goooooood.
DAMN dude,,that song rocked but you just took it up to a whole nother level .
NONPOINT
And now this version.
Perfection.
was waiting for someone to mention the nonpoint version which i honestly prefer over this but still a good cover.
damn. this hits hard. Phil nailed it. you did it respect and nailed it too. this song doesn't get touched unless your on it. well done.
Great Cover!!!!!!! Of a Great Song!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!
An excellent homage to Phil Collins' song. I have heard several versions from other bands, and I'm still thinking it's a toss up between this and In This Moment's version, both of which I love. Chris Daughtry did a good job with Brad Arnold, but as with most bands, I feel there isn't the passion and power behind it. So, in closing, Leo, you are somewhere in my top 3, with In This Moment, and the original. Well done!
I think I'll have to listen to it a couple hundred more times, just to be sure... ;)
I love In This Moment's version!!! This one is awesome also!
Nonpoint did a good version too
I haven't heard Nonpoint's version yet, I'll have to look it up!
How about a metal version of Faith No More - Epic.
That would be: Epic!
Look up Atreyu. They did metal cover of it years ago if you wanna hear a metal version of it. ;)
One of the best bands!!
Damn. Leo, my dude. You knocked this one out of the park. The park, is like... A tiny dot in the distance from here. This cover is crazy good, definitely in your top ten, maybe top three. Aces.
Great version of a great song
Well done Leo, well done
even his "thank you for watching my video" sequence at the end is better than most of today's pop songs.
Much prefer your voice when you sing like this,nice job man.
Yeah same like it when he shows us his range as a singer.
Deffo mate,would have been cool to have a kick ass Erock solo in there as well,they should work together more.
This is the ONLY version of this song that I can listen to. I love Phil Collins (I'm an 80's guy) but have always found his version of this song to be probably the most nauseating hit song from the 80's. If I ever suffer from insomnia I know I can put his song on and it will knock me out like anesthesia. For me this song takes too long to finally rock (Phil's never does) but yours really kicks ass at the 4 minute mark. I like the close up facial expressions in your video (That's metal).
Thank you Sir . You made everything great again .
