This is the proper level of amped up enthusiasm to do this song justice. About time someone tapped the potential there.
Exactly. Sweet sucked. Leo is the only Rock God that can play these songs right.......
Nuclear Assault did a cover of this one way back in the days when thrash was thrash and nobody cared. Now I'm torn which version is better.
Personally, Leo is my favorite member of Leo & the Leos.
Meh...leo is okay...i prefer leo myself.
@@metalmikejr Ugh! Oh, mai, GAWD! Are you KIDDING me?! Leo is SO much cooler than Leo!!
@@IgnatianMystic not a chance. Just ask leo. Even leo would agree that leo is the by far the best.
@@metalmikejr Leo doesn't know what he's talking about half the time! Unlike Leo, who actually has his head on straight!
😂😂😂😂😂
This is just brilliant. Turned a great song into something much more heavy, without taking away the original idea.
I only found him lastnight, I haven't stopped watching he is amazing.
Welcome to the fan club. I am not a metal fan but I love Leo.
Beware. He should have a disclaimer warning of addiction lol. I am a full blown addict now and only discovered Leo 3 months ago
@@linengray You are a Metal fan. you just dont know it jet
Welcome to rabbit 🕳
me too. this is just the ticket .i thought good music was dead. 👍
this guy is a genius... an absolute genius.. film, video, musically, genius...
btw... by film i mean the editing...lol.. video, the recording, musically...well.. if you dont get that.......
+oakenshanks I think He knows. Seriously any "Action" movie needs to get Froggy and take the leap.
I just recently took a deep dive into Leo and completely agree. Careful genius at work, totally forgot about this song till now.
If he where a genius.... he would make his own songs instead doin covers since years
@@MrZevv Leo is an amazing talent and he's doing what he loves to make a nice living. Losers like you who accomplished nothing sit around and criticize others who accomplished great things with their lives. Pathetic
I'm a 67 year old guy who loves Leo's work, not because I'm a really cool 67 year old (although I am) but because Leo is that great.
56 here and I agree with you!
A Tolsma you're only old when your dead dude. Also, you're never to old to rock.
56 so what? you are never to old!
Who let there grandpa on the computer
HE IS RIGHT YOU KNOW!
I've seen a few of Leo's videos and two things have come to my mind
1. He's talented on so many levels
2. He looks like he is having a ton of fun in his videos.
You sir, are equal parts talented and goofball... Please keep being you. 😬
My dad loved this song and because of him so did I. He's not around anymore, so thank you for this. It gives me a little something new to still remember him by.
Did the same for me….I used to play a heavier version of Obla di Obla da with my dad who has passed…it was heartwarming
I love that I can actually understand the lyrics when you sing 'em.
Leo is a genius. He can take almost any song, and change just enough of it to make it metal without destroying what makes the song great. He knows just where he can touch it and what to leave alone.
I almost agree - this is the third Leo video I've seen 1. Sultans of Swing 2. House of the Rising Sun 3. Ballroom Blitz so I don't really have a lot to go on - Sultans of Swing didn't really work for me either musically or vocally; just the wrong sound for the song. The other two musically were amazing but the vocals didn't quite work for me. Having said that I watched them all the way through and loved the videos, the musicianship, the comedy elements etc. More research required I think..:)
@@dominicg11 I suggest Africa.
Sweet was way ahead of their time. So is Leo!! great cover. I grew up on Sweet.
That intro might be the best thing since music was invented.
There's also Deep Purple - You Fool No One.
@@cjnf11 Dont you mean Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water?
@@katrinapaton5283 No I don't. Both Ballroom Blitz and You Fool No One start with memorable drum sequences. First features funny band members "check", second is Ian Paice being awesome. Both are cool.
@@cjnf11 Oh wow! I've never heard that one before so thank you for that. Having said that, the comment was "the best thing since music was invented" so I'm going to stick with Smoke on the Water thanks.
I'm a 58 yrs old or young Swiss Metalhead who loves Leo's Work (music videos style) !!! A great Inspiration for all Metal/Rock Lovers !!!!
I was twice at a live concert with my father and this is my father's favorite band. I am 35 years old and he was so sad when the band members gradually died. he is a drummer and told me that Mick Tucker was one of the best drummers of the 70s. it made me and him happy that we could see andy scott 2 times live. with his band, of course
I loved this song back then and this guy brought it back to life with a tad bit of kickass on it
he sure did brother
I love Leo’s little songs he adds at the end of the cover promoting his music. It’s great.
Me: *plays drums for 25 years*
Also me: That amazing guitarist plays the drums way better than me.
i know your feeling ^^
what the fuck have you been doing for 25 years if this guy is better lmao
They are programmed drums so maybe not 😂
I feel your pain lol.... If you really want to feel inadequate about your music talents check out the kids at the O'Keefe music foundation (sober, 46&2)
This cover is brilliant... and I think the promotional outro for this video is the best one ever too.
Don't know how I got here, Holy Sh$#, This guy is a f@##$ing Maniac. Love it
I feel like I should be concerned about Leo’s sanity but I don’t think it was ever there. So good dude !
Loved it when it came out in 1974 but Leo did a killer version of it...Damn...i looooove it
Leo Thank You
For bringing a level of fun back to music i haven't enjoyed for a long time.
Hope you never stop having as much fun as it looks like you're having
The English accent "OK" gets me LOL'ing every time - one of the best FLS covers!
I needed this today. Fan-effing-tastic as always!
crazy drumming 😎👍
Mad9977 Productions 充分注目だっっっk
One of the best covers I´ve hear so far from that song. Love it!
That is by far the best cover of Ballroom Blitz i have ever seen! Fantastic!!!
When I was 18 to 21, a looooooong time ago, (I'll be 56 tomorrow) I used to play Ballroom Blitz at a rather extreme volume in my room so that I could hear it while I showered in the nearby bathroom as I was getting ready to go out to party on the weekends. (It was a good thing that I lived in the guest house and not the main house at that time!) I *LOVED* this song, and this is BY FAR the best cover of Ballroom Blitz that I've ever heard! This is going in my favorites, for sure! This was an awesome trip down memory lane for me as I'll be closer to 60 than 50 starting tomorrow. Just so you know, some of us old chicks can still ROCK! (This old chick still rolls, too, but usually I use my glass blunt now. ;-) ) Thank you, SO MUCH! You've MADE my birthday!
You're 56? Guess it's true that old-school rock 'n' roll will never die. Respect.
Happy belated Birthday Calichef! I'm going 56 this year myself. Cool song from way back when and memories of good times!
Happy early 57
I’m 66 and I remember the original from The Sweet. But this is awesome 🤘
This was so great Leo! The whole song was just killer! Your singing was so tight, loved every second, thanks!
Listing to this again, because it sounds so damn good! The production and quality of this cover is absolutely amazing! Leo! thank you!
I love how you took one of the best songs ever and made it better. Fantastic.
Nailed it with a sledgehammer. Leo, this was the first cover of yours I've heard and you hit it out of the park dude. Keep up the fantastic work.
There is NO SONG this guy can't make sound absolutely awesome!!!!! 🤘👍❤️😎😈
Great stuff man, love Leo's energy in all his covers
One of my favourites! Fantastic cover!
This is the epitome great metal. Good transitions, great music and creative editing. I love your work Leo, my playlist in my car is starting to become pretty much everything Leo at this point. Your skills on the drums and guitar are mind-blowing. Keep rocking and doing what you do. Love your art house ending cracks me up as well, reminded me of some old Portishead.
Portishead! Exactly.. been awhile. But good call broski
YES ! I LOVE BOTH THAT SONG AND THAT COVER
Excellent Job. I love the way you put a new spin twist on old tunes...keep em coming. Great work. You Rock Sir!!!
How is this guy not frickin famous!! Your covers are epic!
With those glasses on you make me think of a metal version of Alton Brown (which is a good thing)
Terashell hey, yeah, kinda... how did I not notice that before?
Leo isn't even the best drummer in the Leos...
Thumbs up for the laugh this gave me!
We all know it's the bassist that keeps the beat...
I like the Leo with the eyeballs best
true, Leo clearly beats him
HA
As awesome as the cover is, and the straight up musicianship as well, the SHOW you're putting on is just fantastic! Even the camera angles and editing are spot on! So much entertainment value for just a few minutes of time. Your concerts must be AMAZELING!!!
Watching the post-song of your videos is like waiting in the cinema for some after-credits goodies! \m/
Nuno V. RIGHT?!?! tje post-song for this was PERFECT too!!!!💯💯
That solo has to be one of the most creative I've ever heard. I love how the beat changes up, and then it drops to almost a complete stop before coming back up into a pretty deadly riff. That was goddamn sick! Niiiice
Yeah and then throws some Portishead at you for the Outro, pure talent. Love it.
Love this, amazing how you goof around but when it cuts to you playing your dedication and musicianship is undoubted.
I can't get enough of these metal covers. Thank you Leo!!!!
I'm not always a fan of this vocal style, but I do like the metalizing of the music (not just his, I like others' too), and just watching him have fun in front of the camera is worth the watch.
I have to say, I never thought anyone could look creepier than Steve Priest from Sweet when they were singing his parts from Ballroom Blitz, but you totally Over-creeped him lmao. Great job!
Rob The Crazy Ronin Steve Priest did that deliberately. Everyone thought he was gay, so he went full on pride parade campy.
Still over-creeped him hands down
I was way too young when I first watched that music video XD
I had no idea how badly my life was missing this ❤️
Dude, this is rock and roll. I am old enough to remember this charting. What a great version. Humour and great music. Outstanding.
Wie immer....der Hammer! Schönes WE euch allen 🎸🍾
Leo, you ROCK brother! Never heard this version when I was in Norway
Superb....captures the true spirit of the tune without just copying it, Leo you are blessed.
Leo's appearance in this video bought a huge smile to my face, great job Leo!
Leo is making hard metal music popular to many that never listen.
Bro. Fantastic job with this. I loved the original but damn, nailed it.
Leo, NEVER stop doing your metal covers. They really make my day!
I love your energy man no matter the song you bring it, thats whats up ,very contagious
Sweet is a wonderful band! I love them!
sweeeeeeet...how about black Betty? Would love to hear your bam a lam hehehe tytyty for all u do 💙
diane carabetta I’m 100% down for this.
This would make my life so much better.
spiderbait's version is pretty good though.
You know? I thought he already had. But I can’t seem to find it.
I want the Amber lamps version
Just found him and I’m in love his voice is amazing
Okay, just watched this back to back with the original (which I loved, back in the day). This is just better in every regard, while staying true to the original’s musical intent... Leo, you are a master!
Heart - Barracuda with Hannah and Rabea
Xannak Yes please!
OMG YES!!!!!!!
Yes please do!!
I didn't know I wanted this until now.
New band Leo and the Leo's 🤔!?
Knightshtick 3092 Le and the O's ^^
greatcommandment better than my idea for an Electric Mayhem cover band -tenatively titled - "hand up your ass" 😒 - or when I wanted to start a Lynrd Skynrd tribute band with 3 friends, and we'd all shave our heads and be "The 4Skynz" 🤣
Now I want to hear him do a cover of Steven Universe's "Steven and the Stevens" or "Meanie Zucchini"
i heard there's been a rift and lead singer Leo goin solo...
Tim Tran yea well I can't blame him - he's the talented one
Truly awesome productions from Leo!
All these covers look like so much fun to make. Keep up the awesome work!
So cool drums sounded great
That was probably THE coolest Thing I’ve ever seen!!!
Just amazing - congrats Leo, you created another masterpiece.
Dude, you're better than ever. This punched me right in the nuts in the best way possible
Leo can virtually sing to any songs
Amazing talent
This is soo awesome!!
Bringing metal to the masses. Thank you Leo. Thank you TH-cam. Thank you Internet. Thank you electricity.
Tiu forgot thank you physics
Very inventive way to put a new spin on some already awesome classics and to make them his own is very cool.
Love this ....I was born in the 70's & a fan of The sweet!!
1975: Fifth grade, pizza parlor, pinball machines, and THIS song on the jukebox. Great times!
I can't get enough of your covers, you are brilliant.
Love ya work mate, keep finding more of your work and haven’t been disappointed! Keep it up
This was freaking amazing!
Please do a cover of Pretty Woman, by Roy Orbison. i feel you would make that song perfectly metal!
Outstanding, standing ovation for Leo.
One of my favorite songs. You did a great job converting it to a metal cover.
I knew this was going to be dope af in the begnining of the song jesus christ man you're a work of fucking art, this is just pure amazing and raw holy shit. I'm adding your songs ion my spotify playlist
Im 50 and just found Leo.....Fan for at least the rest of my life..THRASH ON !!!!
Hi5 brother
Cant quit watching these vids. Funny & they freakin' rock. True art let loose. Great job! Leo & company
That’s just ridiculously good! Loved that ‘middle 8’!!
Damn Leo, save some awesome for the rest of us.
*_I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!_*
Where had this channel been all my life!?!? This is INCREDIBLE!!! What a talent!!
Just found this the other day, I’ll bet I’ve watched it a dozen times. Great video, great interpretation of this classic song. I hope Leo is still making new videos
He just kicks ass!
The Gibson SG is must have for any guitar collector.. I love mine.
Nice cover, Leo!
Anyone else thinking that this is one of the best Songs/Covers Leo ever did? 🤟
Andreas Schwarz His Toto - Africa is best imo
I am thinking Leo is the best musician on TH-cam.
Need a laugh? KROKUS- Ballroom Blitz ... th-cam.com/video/_fPjQZwhrOE/w-d-xo.html
Andreas Schwarz Africa is one of my favorites
Andreas Schwarz I really liked. Johnny B Good
Everything leo does is fantastic. And he looks like he has fun doing it. Super talented guy
leo your drumming has gotten pro level. happy drumming and singing. you rock.
The memories of playing this song on _Rock Band 1,_ man, I love this
I found you by accident. now I can't stay away from your channel. I really wanna say something snappy/cool like the other commenters are, but I suck at that. I do however excel at honesty. you, your music, and your videos have been keeping me smiling for 2 weeks straight now as we work our way through this current worldwide mess. please don't change a thing. keep having the fun it looks like you have doing these.
Cranked the soundbar and subwoofer up and my daughter (14) has just gone nuts dancing around to this :) All props and respect - there ought to be a law against so much talent handed out to just one person !
Ummmmmm...
WHAT???
The "yeahs" in this cover sound like the screams Reptilicus made when he was set on fire. It's weirdly appropriate!
Ah, Reptilicus! That’s how we didn’t turn into snowflakes!
