@@Adam-of9kd You're probably right, pretty sure before Leo started doing these covers, nobody asked to do a metal version of this song. Now, everybody is asking Leo to do almost everything, and judging by the comments on these videos, Leo is always asking someone to hold his beer.
How about one of these? “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers, Elvis, Sam Cooke, etc… "Somethin' Stupid" by Frank Sinatra
Been watching you for yrs.. almost since the beginning. Your music has got me through 7 tours in Afghanistan and 3 in Iraq, being blown up x2, shot x3, moving across 2 continents, and 1 divorce. I never comment, but save this one. Thank You for being you. You and your covers bring light where there is dark... and I thank you for that.
This man should be immortal. Anything anyone writes should translate into his concept. It's a whole other dimension. Leo is like a volcano of the best music and musical arrangements I've ever heard. I'm so happy I lived to see this.
That bass riff at the end dude..you should get an award for that..no joke..you tore it out of the frame....absolutely kick ass..the whole song is phenomenal but the ending is EPIC..LEGENDARY...IM VERRRRRY IMPRESSED..
@@GrymmSoul I've been wanting him to do I Ran forever. There are a few 'metal' versions of I Ran on YT, but none are that great. Actually, I actually like this one...th-cam.com/video/1KP0YBUsLro/w-d-xo.html this one seems new, hadn't seen it before: th-cam.com/video/3YLqO5rCtl4/w-d-xo.html
@@EvilBonsai Thanks, so much! I'm quite fond of both as well. The symphonic goth metal of the Death Blossoms (top link) is exquisite, though the vocals lack the power I had hoped for. Meanwhile, Andy Rehfeldt's "Flock of Metal" possesses that power in both vocals and music, yet stays quite traditional in it's covering of the song. Thanks to you, my bookmarks now include a version for two different moods!
A couple of buddies of mine and I did a spur of the minute cover of "I Ran" about 7 years ago, I don't have a video of it, but I do have a cassette audio recording of it that I believe that I did a digital copy on Cakewalk 8.0 . Now I have to go back and dig it up, the vocals are done by the bassist, and there's only 3 of us on it. (Guitar, bass and drums ) I'll have to post the audio once I convert it to Mp3 format. I think it was pretty good, especially since it was learned and then recorded in the same night! It was done out of complete boredom, and we were looking for a completely different song to cover that was out of the norm for us considering that we were playing mostly metal. I'll post a update within this comment thread when I get it completed and posted, if anyone's interested in hearing it! Lol!
At the start, I was thinking " I expect this to be a funny send up" 2 minutes in, I am actually realising " Shit, I'm going to be singing this to myself for at least the rest of the week..." bugger... Totally AWESOME!!! P.S. Love the white glove...
Check out Toby Swann singing it. It's not metal but Toby Swann was a punk musician from Toronto in the late 70's and early 80's and released this on his Lullabyes in Razorland album. It kinda has a Pete Shelley sound too it.
I'm not a big fan of this type of metal, BUT I appreciate talent and see the fun and enjoyment you have making these videos. Love it. Keep it up. The losers that give you a thumbs down don't really know what talent is.
Leo is a genius... seriously. I've been into metal & rock music forever.. at least it seems that's all I listen to musically. And Leo is still pulling out these magical videos and awesome covers, most of his work is on point. Most of his songs and videos turn out awesome quality, they're never sloppy or half-assed with the production. That's basically just awesome!!!

There was a Band in Germany in the 90's called "The Bates" and they made an very impressive Billy Jean Metal/Punk Version. may you take a look 😊 ( but the Singer Zimbl is not longer with us 😔)
Leo makes really good covers, but the version of The Bates is still the best for me. I am missing "Stairways To Heaven" (Led Zeppelin; best cover by Far Corporation) and "Hiroshima" (Wishful Thinking) from Leo.
Probably one of the most talented individuals on TH-cam fact.
@Bone Jenga Holy shit, kid. Shut the fuck up literally nobody asked. Not a soul. Not a single human being asked for this.
And thats an understatement!

Dude, this guitar riff is freaking awesome!
Yes it is. Thick, Heavy metalness...s.
but that intro bass tho
For bad Michael Jackson dance moves tune right in😂 What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments!
How about one of these?
“The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand
“Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers, Elvis, Sam Cooke, etc…
"Somethin' Stupid" by Frank Sinatra
The show must go on 🖖🏻

Who "thumbs down" this man's music ? You sir are legendary .
Well now u dont have this problem
(no dislike button)
Yeah! That is like a crime! Understand khyyl. Leo a legend
Guitar playing...Gold. Drumming...Platinum. Dancing skills...Priceless. 🐇🤘
This was honestly my favorite cover in a long time. Just goes to show how good MJ really was.
That Universe where ZZ Top, Pantera, and Michael Jackson are the same act.
Excellent!!!
😎
P.S. - Most hilarious fan outro yet!!!
That bass riff at the end dude..you should get an award for that..no joke..you tore it out of the frame....absolutely kick ass..the whole song is phenomenal but the ending is EPIC..LEGENDARY...IM VERRRRRY IMPRESSED..
And who said Covers could not be better than the original. Awesome cover Leo, thank you very much for all the great music.
Leo can do no wrong...he's a damn musical mastermind I tell ya!
in the region I was born we call these people a METAL MESSIAH
Dude your pace is insane. Please take some time if you need it. We'll be right here. Thanks!
Every cover you do works so well ! Could you cover "in hell I'll be in good company" by 'The dead south' I would love to hear your take on it.
Uhhhh...like
I second that request!
That would be amazing
Love that song. Lol.
fact!
Leo is just too perfect for this world 🫶
🤘🤘🤘🤘Never knew I needed a Metal version of Billie Jean, but here I am getting it 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Would love to hear “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas!!
Definitely would be awesome!!!
Oh Yeah
Would not complain.
Make it happen Leo!
Or Song for America (not the radio-edit)
Leo, you totally have to do "Haddaway - What is love"! Everyone will freak out, i promise.
I would love to hear that.

Please lifelong favorite!
Anybody knows rock cover "Rock my heart - Haddaway"? Please, this music is the best.

Wow that groove tho...frickin undeniable...
I don’t know which is better: the actual cover or the stage act 🤣. Dude, you rock!
I just love your energy man. And thanks for doing the Billie Jean.
As always, you've made my Friday. How about Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas or Flock of Seagulls 'I Ran'
Hmm, "I Ran" might be amazing in metal, actually...Hell yeah, good call, Velo.
@@GrymmSoul I've been wanting him to do I Ran forever. There are a few 'metal' versions of I Ran on YT, but none are that great.

One man orchestra! Remarkable!
I wanna hear Willie Nelson "On the road again" would be a great cover for you Leo 👍🚘
Great cover, video, costume, and everything.
Plus that has to be my favorite fan out-tro yet!!!!
wish i could play like you, you are a legend
Excellence in every category possible. You, Mr Leo, are without equal.
His voice a miracle🙏
"Everybody Wants You" by Billy Squire. That riff is BEGGING to be Metalized!.
Yes agreed
I appreciate the Gojira-ness of the breakdown at the end of the song. Great cover, as always.
Your goatee reminds me of Wayne Static (RIP). Long live Evil Disco!
Amazing !!! Leo -You ROCK !!! This is a marriage off Attitude & Vision !!!
Just AWESOME COVER !!!
Oh shit. Great cover of a great song.
Michael Jackson from Leo is ALWAYS a good idea!!!
Never ever not this song its Boring !
At the start, I was thinking " I expect this to be a funny send up"
2 minutes in, I am actually realising " Shit, I'm going to be singing this to myself for at least the rest of the week..." bugger... Totally AWESOME!!!
P.S. Love the white glove...
Super cool session top😊
Speechless, you are truly AMAZING.
Such a shame the King of Pop did not live long enough to see this awesome tribute.
I appreciate you covering MJ despite all the lies being told on him. You the man!
Jape H very well said!
Goddamn Leo. You don't half ass anything. When you go in, you go ALL IN. I love that. Keep the awesome covers coming, man!

Couldn't think of a better way to honor a legendary musician.
ооооо как же долго я ждал эту песню в твоем исполнении !!!! 5+
Bangin’ dance moves!!
Could you cover Werewolves Of London by Warren Zevon 🤘🏼
Never thought an MJ song would sound good in Metal. Nice job. Voice is clear and a few dance moves too. Good job.
Frog Leap who turns an epic pop song into a kicking mental cover. Yes!
Been a sub since you were starting out. Truly happy you get the recognition you deserve. More power Leo!
No moonwalk?😉btw great cover, greetings from Poland🖐️
moonwalk missing ,.. LEO , we want it ! :D
I don't think his dance moves are on par with his music making lol
Still waiting for the somewhere over the rainbow cover😅

I get it. Leo is awesome.
Wow!!! Was not sure how it would go but I all I can say is wow!
If you want some variation in this song there is a punk cover by "Me first and the gimme gimmes",
Totaly Worldclass ,you are just awsome
As both a metal and a Michael Jackson fan, this is two in one! Well done!
“My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion. I’m really interested to hear that
I literally searched whether this was already a thing just a week ago. Yes please.
YES YES YES
th-cam.com/video/2WICYq7pv9U/w-d-xo.html
dragonforce made their own cover
oh yes that be a great one
I’m just finding out about this guy and he’s amazing
This was really good! Got me in that 80's nostalgia! Try some Prince or AHA or Hall & Oates or Tears for Fears...
Yes !!!!! Good recommendation!!
The bass riff in the beginning SLAPS my dude
Dude is the God of "Hold my beer" in the world of cover songs!!!! Love everything he does, and as a Gen-X metal head......HELL YEAH!!!!
Great cover, as always.
How about Bad Moon Rising by CCR? or
Copperhead Road by Steve Earl
I concur with Copperhead Road
I like you Man and I love what you make with some of my favorite Songs of my childhood ❤️ excuse me my terrible English 😅 greetings from Germany ✌🏼

What a bass line. Good job.
Yesssss I like it!!! From Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Michael Jackson only one king.. he my hero.. Michael I love you. But I miss you..
I showed this to my dog, now he's moonwalking while headbanging.
That's just weird and awesome🤣
That dog could make you some money...
I’m sick af but I’m rolling inside lol
Did someone say, MONEY?!🤑
I like money, but I am nothing like a golddigger, I just like having money to buy games or things to make animations😁
Lol🤣
Lovin' the middle part!!!
Leo - you are the BEST!
What about "Bloodhound Gang - Uhn Tiss" :)
We want some Beatles metal version.🤘
@frogleapstudios
Only a metal song
He has hey jude
@@deathbynewports7745 I have seen it,
But how would Imagine from John Lennon sound?
I'd love to see Leo's take on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"!
Absolutely ICONIC
My mind is blown. I bet your original songs are amazing
I was breathlessly waiting for Leo to moonwalk! :) Don't think twice, it's alright.
Leo can do no wrong. I swear. He could try to intentionally write a terrible cover and it'd still be better than 90% of whats out there.
"Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America, and really nice job on this one i also like your cover of "Bad" have a great weekend
Great choice! Everyone upvote this one!
Goin to the country, gonna eat me some peaches
@@loki887 Movin' to the country gonna eat a lotta peaches. ;)

I love all the covers that you do. Like to hear you do a Weird Al cover
Can you do layla by derek and the dominos
I finally found one thing Leo couldn't do : he can't dance.
Lol
If he's dancing to be funny, as opposed to actual dancing, he's kinda nailing it, LOL! I can't stop laughing!
I think his dancing is good as hell. Haha
Well, he is better than me, but that is not saying much.
Now he has to make the cover for Genesis - I can't Dance
