- If Nirvana's - Nevermind was performed by 12 different bands/artists it may sound a little something like this...
Let me know your fav in the comments :)
I tried to broaden the musical spectrum this time around including rock, metal, punk, funk and more including full bands and a couple 'solo' artists too.
There’s also a couple of Easter eggs in this video... see if you can find them and let me know.
What album should I do next?
Green Day - Lithium FULL version: • If Green Day wrote Lit...
Endless, Nameless HERE: • If Pink Floyd wrote En...
Weezer - Come as you are FULL SONG: • If Weezer wrote 'Come ...
Listen to my bands new album SHOCKWAVE: open.spotify.com/album/4SxK0l...

Which one of these should I turn into a full cover??
Green Day - Lithium: th-cam.com/video/hW7nk1ppre0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jPi1Ki4pqDw8YBbR
Endless, Nameless: th-cam.com/video/TURlIQPRks8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SteveWelsh
Weezer - Come as you are: th-cam.com/video/ndGpjwU_sRM/w-d-xo.html
Drain You, Stay Away or On A Plain haha
Polly!
Lounge Act
Come as you are , polly, or lounge act
Ozzy polly, probably. How about doing Paranoid as the next album seeing as this year is the 50th anniversary? Great work.
I just wonder how "the man who sold the world" would sound if it was by davd bowie
😅
i found something like that - th-cam.com/video/g33-W9t2q2Q/w-d-xo.html (yes in past i think this is original, but i don't listen david bowie, so don't look to me as idiot)
@@golden_manzen nah it's fake
@@golden_manzen woosh
@@golden_manzen Thanx Captain Obvious !
POV: you land in an alternate universe where nirvana doesn’t exist but their songs do
So hell
Well, if you think that Kurt is dead and Nirvana can't be without him... Sounds very similar :(
@@2013_Markiplier how
@@2013_Markiplier .......I would also like to know how
There's a movie like that about The Beatels.
We can all agree that your impression of Dave Mustaine is spot on and that Green Day should definitely cover Lithium!
Yeah, sans the "hey"s in the chorus, lmao. Perfectly accurate, but would get so annoying
The impression is good, but i don't think Green Day should cover Lithium.
The Weezer cover for Come As You Are actually sounds like a lost Wheezer song. It fits so well!
i'm pretty sure it uses a chord progression or just general rhythm from Holiday (not the one by green day)
NO H IN WEEZER NO H IN WEEZER
@@whenthegaming9916 auto correct my guy. Sorry for offending you!
@@reecee5454 im very passionate about my boy bands
Green Day doing Lithium was absolutely perfect
That one was my favorite
I can't not hear green day sing it now.
@@11094DEREK me too
it was basically longview but it was lithium and it came out perfect
sounded just like dookie... ah, the good old days.
liked the Green Day cover of Lithium.
Thank you! I think It fit pretty well :)
@@stevewelsh__ Yeah, we need a complete vertion of the song
It fits so bizarrely well.
Such a strange talent you have.
Yeah that sounded awesome
Lithiumview
My God ... that was incredible. And the Megadeth was SUPER INCREDIBLE.
for real tho! its got some serious "sweating bullets" vibes
@@ersatztheenfantterrible More Symphony of Destruction vibes
The dave mustain impression was spot on, tbf its an incredibly easy impression even i can do it
@@cucumberofeternity5468 dang I didn't even think of that! its def got that vibe too!! thank you for pointing that out :)
Yeah, it sucks that Dave is such a douchebag though

*Bowie Covering a Nirvana song , after Nirvana covering a Bowie song*
*Damn thx for all the Likes*
it's almost cosmic... ;)
The man who sold the world :)
This is grunge control to major Tom
Bowie would not have done like that
@@alexm.6533 Abso-fecking-lutely!
Your Dave Mustaine is damn good
Thank you :)))
So good I thought it was him
100% agree he killed Dave's mid-late 90's vocal stylings
Yeah it was very spot on
Truly eerie
This almost felt like it was twelve bands all got together and made a tribute album in honor of Kurt. The last one literally tore me apart because, really, David's music always sounded beautiful when it had its certain tune there, and to take David's song and play it in the way Kurt would (which he did anyway with The Man Who Sold The World), but just made me cry in the end how it sounded. Everything else on here though was like "Wow, that is EXACTLY what they would sound like and how they would play it. This was just all amazing. Keep up the awesome work.
No one’s talking about how amazing that NOFX one was absolutely perfect
it really was 💯
That backup vocal towards the end and the little major/minor shift. Absolutely nailed it.
That was seriously so good I had to listen to it like 3x. D00d, I want a full version of Fat Mike doing Drain You! Amazing!!! You are insanely talented.
@@marlboroboy1 Yep, he got the IV major to IV minor turnaround that NOFX always does in there. And the backup vocal is what Fat Mike calls the "Mel Yell" because it's always done by Eric Melvin.
That Lithium-Green Day is literally so accurate...may we get a full version....?
Okay, the Megadeth is also hella good
Have you ever seen Green Day playing Drain You?
Yeah it sounded like longview Bc of the bass then to fast and loud guitar
@Arctic Fox yes!
Please Steve, give us a full version of Lithium Green Day Ver
@BoredAndExtremelyDangerous who's billy
Dude, Lithium and Green Day was such a good pairing! That's a song that needs a full version!
Yes
It definitely gives me green day vibes
Agreed
Look up to the coverups - drain You cover ( Billie Joe n Friends band)
Yup
3 years later and this is still one of the best music related videos on the platform (excluding reviews, live recordings, etc)
as a MASSIVE fan of both David Bowie and Nirvana, my favorite one was easily Something in the Way lol. I would really love to see a video where the theme was "doing x album/song/etc but in the style of different Bowie albums/eras". just for the sake of an easy example, I'll use Nevermind.
Teen Spirit would be in the original style obviously
In Bloom would be weirdo psych pop meets art rock like Space Oddity
Come As You Are would be experimental psych rock like The Man Who Sold the World
Breed would be theatrical and epic piano based pop rock like Hunky Dory
Lithium in the glammy art rock Ziggy era
Polly would be soul inspired pop rock like Young Americans
Territorial Pissings would be manic experimental funk rock like Station to Station
Drain You would be in the ambient synth-infused art rock of Low
etc etc
eventually you would work up to a version of Something in the Way (or possibly Endless, Nameless?) in the style of Blackstar.
idk lmao, just my two cents/nerdy rant/comment essay that no one will read 💀💀💀
I love how you played “Something In The Way” to the tune of “Space Oddity.” That REALLY works!
Your Megadeth impression is absolutely incredible.
LoL indeed. I've never heard a better Dave Mustaine impression.
His Dave Mustaine is spot on!
Thank you :)
Also the song choice was a spot on for Megadeth
Vintage Foreclosure-of-a-dream Mustane take off! Brilliant.
I wanna hear full Green day version of Lithium so badly
Let me see what I can do :)
I wanna see the NOFX one too
This needs to happen
@@stevewelsh__ yeah please
Me too!
Is no one going to talk about that brilliant Megadeth cover of Territorial?! He did a brilliant Dave Mustaine impression, using his gritty voice for the verse and his melodic voice for the chorus. I never thought about it, but Territorial does sound like a Megadeth song.
Dude -- this is like the soundtrack to my teenage years and...... YOU KILLED IT
Great job!
Oh man, pairing Come As You Are with Weezer was such a stroke of genius.
Thank you! Full cover on my channel :)
I think that was my favourite one
That and the Lithium Green Day
Did you know Weezer used to tour as a Nirvana cover band a few years back, I think it was 'Goat Punishment'
@@nsboss13 I thought Green Day was more of a mashups of Longview and Lithum than Green Day and nirvana
Holy shit, the fact you sounded like 12 different singers is fucking amazing
Fucking this, extremely impressive
Thanks mate!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@stevewelsh__ well, he did sounded that well as fat mike. But tbf, fat mike sounds like shit and steve is a good singer.
He absolutely nailed each singer too
@@Banana-pm3cb edited
Those were all amazing. I loved the NOFX cover. Sounded just like them! More, more!
Your impressionist skills are amazing. Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Pantera are just spot on! 👍
The Megadeth one was horrifyingly accurate.
Yeah it sounded freakin awesome!
it sounded like it came off straight from Cryptic Writings
Ya
This is actually probably how some songs are written… David Bowie wrote “heroes” copying the feel of the velvet underground ‘ waiting for my man.”
And Def Leppard wrote “hysteria“ partly copying David Bowie “heroes…“ at least some of the chord changes and the Robert Fripp melody guitar part.
Exactly 💯...why he have to ruin the rest of that gem set with Megadeth Christ!
Not sure what's more impressive...how well the songs on Nevermind hold up across other genres, or this guy's ability to emulate everyone.
On point! Kurt was a rock&roll paragon and a great melody writer.
Nirvana were a one off, I loved the rawness of Bleach and I adored Nevermind.
Personally I think that this video is great, I can’t get over how much talent this guy has, to emulate all these styles is amazing
Indeed Ryan, the guys is Slap
Definitely the latter 🤘
The answer: Both.
That was the best Dave Mustaines impression I ever seen 1:57
If I heard it on the radio, I'd swear that was really Weezer.
Thank you! Cool last name 😎
@@stevewelsh__ I was just thinking the same thing! 😊
@@ellenwuzhere its always nice to see two people bond over something in common :)
Não podemos dizer o mesmo sobre a imitação da Bowie .
agreed
Green Day's Lithium was PERFECT and sounded amazing. Good job man!
🤣🤣 That sht was too good!!!
IKR!
ikr
I want a full cover
Green day sucks imo lmao
This needs to be a full cover album! Every track is perfection!
The Megadeth cover is perfect! Not only did you nail Dave Mustaine's voice, but the lyrics sound like something that he would write!
The Weezer version of Come as You Are is spot on. You're so talented👏👏
Thank you!! 😎⚡️🤘🏻
It's clearly inspired by Holiday from the Blue Album :p
@@maartendj2724 yeah, might sound similar to holiday because of the time signature
He could've also done if it was by Killing Joke
@@cosmokane9871 lol
Wow! Lithium - Green Day sounded so authentic that for a second I passed in to an alternative reality where Lithium was actually a green Day song.
I read this while it came on and that song is perfect for Green Day
I swear I’ve lived in this same alternate universe
The Weezer and Green Day ones we're spot on and def what I imagine a cover of those songs by those songs would sound like 👍❤
Thanks! Both full versions now on my channel 😎 here is green day th-cam.com/video/hW7nk1ppre0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jPi1Ki4pqDw8YBbR
Loved it! Terrific performances and creativity.
The amount of vocal diversity is nuts
bro he almost sounds like the real thing in some of these
Short of actually being the person and having their vocal quirks... he nails it!!!!!
There is genuinely no difference between your Dave Mustaine impression and Dave Mustaine's actual voice
Right ?
I bet he could sing instead of Dave on record and no one would ever know.
That was a killer impression
Actually it sounds much better than Dave’s
Dave Mustaine should definitely hear this!
@@Onewholovesrock nah
I came to comment this, Mustaine voice is on point
In Bloom was my favorite, appreciate your great work, hilarious and entertaining!
NOFX was so f****g spot on, especially the vocals. Whole video is amazing
The amount of talent needed to make this is astonishing
Thank you! I spend far too long doing these things. 🥲
Steve Welsh 🤘🏼 and why are you not famous yet?
he will blow up for sure he’s great
Big L yep!
@@led.zepperSo let's see yours
That Mustaine impression is truly inspiring.
Bro fax
amazing one
That wasn't an impression that was channeling.
That Ozzy execution was perfect, as was Megadeth's. And Iron Maiden. And NOFX.
Heck, it was all great! Nicely done.
Straight up cannot believe how unreally good this is.... Such good band impressions. Spot on.
Megadeth was my highlight here. More of them please
Can do! 🤘🏻😎
Me too, that was amazing
I asked for more as well. 🤘
Based on that, I'd really like to hear Greenday cover Lithium, that whole thing was amazing.
so, basically... since it almost changed noting.. just listen to the normal nevermind album
I love greenday and that was amazing
Didn't change much...
Me too
@@dannybartley8117 you miswrote " didn't change much"
hey Steve, great job! i really liked all of them, especially „in bloom“. one suggestion for your next cover album: Radiohead‘s OK computer
Damn good covers that fit those bands styles. Pretty amazing.
Take this as a grain of salt and I'm always open to better suggestions since I’m clearly more of a punk guy than a metal guy lol.
In Utero 12 Bands
1. Serve The Servants - Nirvana
2. Scentless Apprentice - Rage Against The Machines
3. Heart Shaped Box - Radiohead
4. Rape Me - Misfits
5. Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge Against Seattle - White Stripes
6. Dumb - Beck
7. Very Ape - Bad Religion
8. Milk It - Slint (or Tool)
9. Pennyroyal Tea - Sublime
10. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - Sonic Youth
11. Tourettes - Black Flag
12. All Apologies - R.E.M. and Guns N Roses duet
Damn this is a great selection!
@@stevewelsh__ aw thanks man, I appreciate it. Still, you do you haha
Holy shit I need to see RATM scentless apprentice ASAP that is a fucking great idea.
@@Shinyarc would almost sound like Bulls On Parade
That Smiths one sounds like an AU Smiths song already.
Now I wanna hear a full version of RHCP's Breed
And Megadeth Territorial Pissings :)
@ and honestly Ozzy's Polly, got a kick out of that
Nirvana+RHCP to me sounded like Faith No More (and it makes sense)
yea and from the title it's probably about what kiedis wants to do to a 14 year old
This was actually really fucking amazing!!!
Loved it
Was pleasantly surprised to see NOFX on here! My favorite punk band!
Your Mustaine impression is hauntingly accurate
Scarily good
Yes it was the best omg
Territorial Pissing could also well be a Megadeth song
@@peterjacobsen8120 it sounds like something right off Cryptic Writings
Ikr
the real feat here is that he is able to not only imitate people, and write music in the style of others, but he's done a great job of making the production sound spot on as well! That's arguably the hardest part.
Thanks Ethan! I spent probably longer on mixing and ‘tone hunting’ than I did the actual production side, almost every ‘band’ had their own mix of guitars, vocal chains, drums and EQ so it was quite an adventure. Thanks for noticing!
@@stevewelsh__ Thanks for all your effort, your content is top tier 👌
He didn’t write music in the style of others. It’s all the original lyrics
@@joeyoutube3961 I'm not talking about the lyrics. I'm talking about thr music.
@@stevewelsh__ I commend you for that ability. I've spent many years trying to play and articulate like other musicians, and now that I'm trying to record things I'm discovering that engineering and producing is incredibly difficult.
I love the No impression on endless, nameless
Huge props on the vocals. Most of those impressions are spot on!
It’d honestly be awesome to hear Green Day play everything off Nevermind!
Yes!!!
Fuck everything GreenDay has ever said, done or even thought!! May they forever burn in hell for all eternity!! America doesn’t want them
Or if Nirvana had been around to play nimrod
Sameee
Green Day is literally the best and nevermind slaps
This is insanely good, deserves more views
Thanks Jacob! 😎
This is amazing. The arrangement and the performance are both incredible. WOW.
So many of the impressions were spot on! Awesome job!
I never thought that I'd like Come As You Are as a Weezer power ballad-type beat, but I'm all for it.
Thank you! That section has gotten a lot of attention so I might see what I can do about that!
Same bro.... that actually sounded really different but still good.
The Weezer version of Come As You Are sounds like their song Holiday
@@camacaron06 exactly what I was thinking
Now I'm actually convinced that Kurt Cobain traveled in time to the future, heard Lithium recorded by Green Day, came back and rearranged it.
😂seriously tho!
Yep, it sounds great
😭
That was insanely good
Fr though😅😅😅😅
Oh my god! You’ve got to do full covers of all of these, they’re amazing! Especially iron maiden!
My fav of the album is Someting in the Way. I love the space oddity vibes. Excellent arrangements by the way. Good job
1:56 You can close your eyes and imagine this is an unreleased Hidden Treasures track. Hands down this is the best Dave Mustaine impression I've ever heard.
It’s perfect
right?! crazy impression, spot on
Agreed! He nailed Daves' voice!
That might just have been the best Megadeth impression I have ever heard.
it's not that hard just gotta lift up the larynx and sing through the mask. Professional singer here 👍🤓
No one talking about how he perfectly replicated Dave Mustaine's voice!? I literally thought at first Dave was actually singing it!
Literally what I was thinking
Me2
well said
Agreed
Even closed my eyes and saw Dave.
Beautiful arrangements. This wasn’t easy. Amazing. D🤙🤙🤙
This sounds like a solid tribute compilation.
Territorial Pissings by Megadeth was absolutely perfect, you can't notice the difference between Dave's voice and Steve's, B R O O T A L
Brutal*
@@l-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-l i think he did it on purpose bub becuase he's talking about dave mustaine but its okay you tried.

Was not only a great tribute to Kurt but also to David Bowie and Dimebag, respect.
Did you said "RE-SPECT!"?
@@marcusg.5545 WALK
@@sacha________ What did you said?
The megadeth and pantera imitations were a gem
Cheers legend! 🤘🏻
Lithium for Green Day was just magical! It works so well!
Polly is my favourite on the original so I’ll take that off here plus On a Plain and Something in the way are brilliant. You have an extraordinary talent there Mr Welsh. Loved it.
You didn't just find 12 different bands, you found the perfect band for each songs and that's even better!
Agreed!
exactly what i was thinking while watching
the rhcp singing breed is so good
Yess
I want a full version
What I wouldn’t give for a full length of that and their Green Day
This isn't just really well done, it's also really amusing.. some of the song-band combos and your execution of them are hilariously spot on
GOD How amazing does On A Plain sound with the Led Zep distorted crunch and melodic variations ???? Please turn it into a full cover, it is such an epic cover ! Your voice is truly a gem !
That Weezer version was soo sick. You captured their style so well.
That Mustaine impression is absolutely spot-on, it's actually crazy
Riiiiiiiighhhht!!! Legit if that song came out on the radio I'd think it was Megadeth 100%
Yeah that was the most impressive!
I wouldn't have questioned it and I love Megadeth
Haha thank you :)
I want the whole song now as a megadeth cover
This was absolutely amazing! Bravo! 👏
That was epic. Shared all around.
Your choices of artist to song pairings couldn’t have been more perfect. You put a hell of a lot of work and forethought into this, and I’m thoroughly impressed!
@@dotcom_dotau8510 yess when I heard the David Bowie version of something in the way I almost lost my mind
Except Polly to ozzy…
"Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you." Is so fitting for Megadeth. Territorial Pissings has strong Cryptic Writings and Risk vibes.
and Youthanasia.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they're going to treat you like a war pig.
i was already sold on the green day cover, but your "HEY!"s sounded exactly like Mike Dirnt ! super well done
Amazing. Just goes to show how truly brilliant the songwriting is
I want a full version of Greenday lithium
Me too
Absolutely fire
Yeah, that was excellent!
OH YES PLEASE!!!
Yup me too
RHCP doing Breed is actually perfect...
I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS COMMENT TOO LONG DUDE
Dude the NOFX is so good, come on. Got to do more!
I often come back to watch this. You’re incredible dude
That was just (insert many expletives) incredible!
This is sickkk!! That Ozzy impression! NOFX was a nice treat ;-)
Haha thanks bro! Glad you dig :)
@@stevewelsh__ The Ozzy impression was ever so slightly off. You didn't quite nail the Birmingham UK accent. But you gave it a damn good go and to nail every single artist on the list of artists you did is nigh on impossible to do! So, well done!
@Christopher Bingham i actually think that nofx covering drain you would be cool as fuck but just my opinion
@Christopher Bingham lol the NOFX "cover" was my favorite one from this vid. I'm not even a big NOFX fan but I liked it a lot.
Dude, does he add effects or is it purely his impression tones on the singing?? 'Cause it is quite surreal..
I wanna hear a full version of the Weezer “Come as you are” now.
You’re in luck mate! It’s on my channel 😎⚡️and on Spotify!
Nice, Just checked it out. I dig it, thanks. 😎👍
Don't you think that cover version must not changing harmony and notes of the song?
Give Weezer time: they'll inevitably cover it themselves.
PLEASE DO FULL VERSIONS OF THESE SONGS! Effing amazing
Haha thanks, there’s a few on my channel
Already 😎
That Reel Big Fish was a curveball but my favourite none the less
That was the most Weezer sounding cover I've heard ever. You replicated it so well

Check out smells like teen Spirit transposed in major key, basically every Nirvana song put in a major key sounds like Weezer.
It's literally just holiday
@@LingusDaDingus yeah don't care, still sounds good
