Being able to zero in on exactly what makes a band unique in their sound and then replicating it with absolute perfection is a really strange and cool talent. Your super power is mimic.

In this day an age? They just released a new record in 2021 and probably have another about to drop within the next year or so. They never went anywhere, and they've been one of the best and most consistent bands in the genre for over 20 years.
@@alondite215 Their latest album is so damn good. One of the few albums lately I have actually bought on physical copy and had it in my car CD player for a year straight.
Playing music, composing music, and engineering music are very different skills (especially across so many different sound styles) and he excels at all of them. I think that the guy is a legit multi-disciplinary genius. Like so much so that I fear for his sanity. In the internet age of social isolation and paradoxically social media algorithms funneling people into dangerous echo-chambers, I've seen more than one polymath go off the deep end and pop up months later shouting incel talking points. Hopefully he has a good real life social circle to keep him grounded. I hope that for everyone, honestly.
@@wormspeaker But can he make a birdhouse out of wood, paint a portrait or do a backflip on a motorcycle? I'm sure if he was doing all these other hobbies, he'd probably not be where he is at in music. A lot of dedication to one hobby = success. I wish I could stick to one thing and keep doing it.
Damn. So true. Well put. We all need that for real. @@wormspeaker How did the Internet go from being a tool to socialize and bring us together to becoming a major influence in dividing us into isolation?
@@wormspeaker His work gives off a lot of "hyper fixation" vibes just sayin. Like the level of specificity and precision in these creations is something achievable only by the most focused of people. I would not be surprised if he were on the spectrum, adhd or both. Or just a straight up genius.
If I didn't already know this wasn't a song written by cheVelle, I would have believed it actually was theirs. This would fit in played between The Clincher and Self Destructor.
I will say that the album was overproduced and the mixing ruined the power of a lot of the songs. Pete’s voice is very commanding in their older albums and it kinda gets lost in the weeds with the newest album.
Started listening to them when I was 17, now I'm 24 and I can recite every lyric of all of their songs. Such a criminally underrated band. Even my friends who like the same type of music don't like chevelle for some reason. I just don't understand. Their loss I guess
I'm pretty sure without the intro, many rockers would have just assumed this to be a Chevelle demo that finally saw the light of day - Brilliant work, one of your best IMHO
@@all_is_alchemy Yeah! And there might've been some Gorillaz in there as well. But those first 30 seconds or so, that was unadulterated Chevelle. @MikeWallibo You, also, are not wrong. ;)
@@loucyprez Yup! I probably listen to more Chevelle than any other band, though I'd say Tool is my "favorite band". Something about the way Chevelle puts a song together just makes me feel good. If Vitamin R or Panic Prone start playing, I pretty much have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen. ;)
Chevelle has been my favorite band since I was 14, 31 now. Just had to say this was badass - you really captured their essence with this and I loved it. Sam and Pete would approve I'm sure
You're insanely talented for this and other mashups like this. This literally sounds exactly like chevelle. I would definitely add this to the Playlist.
How? 12tone drops a bad guy video earlier today and now I get my favorite cover artist doing it in the style of one of my favorite bands? This is a good day!
wow, this is great man, I could almost hear an off-key descending by an orchestral brass section during the chorus (almost as a background or call + response). Really good work
I honestly just want to know what it’s like riding around in the car with you singing along to your favorite songs. Because also especially the metal screaming…dude you’re actually truly phenomenal. 🫡🤯😄🤌
Talk about convergent evolution. That verse guitar riff is near identical to the riff in the verses for Passive by A Perfect Circle. It's like if the singer from Chevelle and the instrumentalists from A Perfect Circle made Bad Guy. Freakin dope.
Hell ya 😂🤘
Oh hey what’s up lads
Pretty cool man
Awesome 😂
Can we please get a real Chevelle cover?
Very cool! You got the horns from the OG themselves!
The Red Guy
Well played 👏🏾👏🏾 lol😅!

Hats off to the bill
No more comments will be accepted. This is the one.

Seriously this guy is an artistic genius
i couldn't agree more
I'm the same way. He constantly amazes me. So talented
Lmfao, he really does though. 😂

Did not expect Chevelle content in this day and age, absolutely here for it
I literally queued up the entire Chevelle discography this morning. Halfway through and I find this?
Glocky, you watching me? 🧐

My wife walked in and straight up thought Chevelle covered this. So good on you man, absolutely killed this 🤘
Your wife recognizes Chevelle ?!?!? And you're here talking about it ?!?!? You guys are AWESOME. WIIL ROCK out.
@@theRecklessWhisper she sure does. We’ve seen them twice together!
It’s the timing of the “duh” that really makes this sing
Personally, I feel it's the delivery more than the timing.
Nice to see Chevelle get some appreciation
that first riff is so chevelle. amazing
Indeed 😄
If I didn't already know this wasn't a song written by cheVelle, I would have believed it actually was theirs. This would fit in played between The Clincher and Self Destructor.
It does give me B side on hats off to the bull.
Mac commits 100% to each one of these. Crazy consistent.
I can't believe Billie Eilish covered Chevelle, that's awesome
This is so underrated comment
Chavelle is criminally under rated ❤❤
You like them so much you spell their name wrong...and it's in the title lol
Best band I've ever seen play live and I've seen a good amount over the years
@@Rehd66 that would be auto correct
@@pariah5113 I figured. Just messin with ya
@@Scottro same! id like to see them this year again
As a fan of Chevelle from back when, and someone who can appreciate Billy, this was everything. Well played sir!
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah this is insane
I'm just so glad to see so many people still love chevelle
their newest album is kinda trash but i still love the rest of their albums
@@bradhaines3142 NIRATIAS trash? Wild take
@@patrickstar6247 so much orange man bad, it's overdone

My man you GOTTA get this on streaming platforms IMMEDIATELY PLEASE
I second this
It’s on Spotify
The guitar riff after the chorus was a f’ing head banger. Love this.
Kinda reminded me of Disturbed for a minute
As a huge Chevelle fan, you absolutely killed it.
For real 😄
Those barks were siiiiiick! Chevelle was my first favorite band
I loved your Deftones, PLEASE do more Chevelle!!!!!!!!
This fucking SLAPS BRO.
Man, your vocal control is incredible
vocals were ESPECIALLY good on this one ! Very well done !
I'm pretty sure without the intro, many rockers would have just assumed this to be a Chevelle demo that finally saw the light of day - Brilliant work, one of your best IMHO
One of the most talented dudes I've ever seen, covering a song I enjoy, in the style of my favorite band?
Never stop, man, you're killing it.
You gotta do more CheVelle style covers. This is the most spot on of your styles. I have it on loop all the fucking time.
Whoever requested this song. I love you.
Plot twist: Bad Guy actually IS by Chevelle, and Billie Eyelash COVERED it!! This is amazing!
I looked it up, doesnt exist
@@smittysmith2812 this guy actually looked up whether Bad Guy was written by a bunch of straight men who haven't made music in decades.
@@wolfpoxbro they released an album like 3 years ago tf you mean decades
@@wolfpox cope more that straight white men write more good music than your blue hair queen
@@wolfpox They have 3 albumus in the last decade but okay
Started out dead ringing Chevelle, kinda turned into "Chevelle-meets-NIN" at the midpoint.
You're not wrong, but even if the impression wasn't dead accurate, the whole thing still sounds amazing.
I heard Muse!
At any rate, it absolutely RIPS!
@@all_is_alchemy Yeah! And there might've been some Gorillaz in there as well. But those first 30 seconds or so, that was unadulterated Chevelle.
@MikeWallibo You, also, are not wrong. ;)
Agreed, I feel like Pete would of sang more melody than screaming. I thought it was great though. Bloody love Chevelle 🤘
@@loucyprez Yup!
I probably listen to more Chevelle than any other band, though I'd say Tool is my "favorite band".
Something about the way Chevelle puts a song together just makes me feel good. If Vitamin R or Panic Prone start playing, I pretty much have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen. ;)
This is dope. Bad Guy is a actually a really cool song, I dig the bass line. Nailed the Chevelle touch here!
jesus. you are way too good at this.
In addition to this being spookily reminiscent of Chevrolet, it is a killer song.
Chevrolet lmao
Sometimes I really like these even more when I don't even know the original
Chevelle has been my favorite band since I was 14, 31 now. Just had to say this was badass - you really captured their essence with this and I loved it. Sam and Pete would approve I'm sure

Holy shit dude, you are an absolute unit!! Found your channel a couple of days ago, and I am blown away by your covers!!🤘
I'm literally the hugest Chevelle fan, good stuff bro
That was just amazing! Been a cheVelle fan for years, you really knocked it outta the park.
Huge Chevelle fan here, you absolutely nailed it!
This is the best cover I have heard in a long time! Great job!
The whole cover crossover was excellent, but you absolutely nailed the bridge 100% perfect!
How? 12tone drops a bad guy video earlier today and now I get my favorite cover artist doing it in the style of one of my favorite bands? This is a good day!
Oh shit, I gotta go check that out
This is sick. So good. Captured Chevelles sound so well.
Holy shit, this is way too damn good! I really love Chevelle and like Billie Eilish too, so this was a very pleasant mix.
I’m gonna start incorporating these covers into my rock playlist I listen to with my dad and see how long it takes him to notice 🤣
Chevelle is my top 3 bands of all time. You once again made this amazing. Dude if you toured I’d buy tickets so fast
It's absolutely ridiculous how accurate this (and all your covers) are. Your talent for reimagining songs in the style of other bands is unmatched.
you're so good at getting the little nuances of the bands you 'parody'
That instrumental is absurdly good.
This has just become one of my favorite covers. I haven't heard this guy do a bad song.
I did not expect that to go so fucking hard. Damn, that was amazing!
Dude you are unironically one of my favorite artists these days!
yo you absolutely nailed this lol....I love Chevelle, you really captured exactly how Pete would sing this. Great video.
This is such a FANTASTIC interpretation (and your voice fucking rocks, so versatile!!), this has been in my head for days!
so many of these give me full body chills for the entire duration
Zach this is so good it can't be overstated. You're a genius!
This cover would have fit seamlessly onto Chevelle's Vena Sera or La Gargola albums. Great work!
the identical pete like voice at 5 seconds instantly made me burst out laughing 🤣 this was TOO good!!!!
now saturate
THE EARTH!
Heckin masterpiece, I need this on Spotify
I just found your channel & your stuff SLAPS. I say that as a lifelong metal head & musician. Top tier.
i was like "okay this is the one that isn't going to work or sound good." but yet again, you did it and it's great.
As someone who's recently gotten into Chevelle, this was a welcome surprise.
Welcome to the fold
Chevelle's last album has been a god send to rock music.
I hope the next Chevelle content you do has that massive bass sound from their earlier days.
This was solid af tho.
I've listend to this five times and someone needs to take away my phone.
wow, this is great man, I could almost hear an off-key descending by an orchestral brass section during the chorus (almost as a background or call + response).
Really good work
I honestly just want to know what it’s like riding around in the car with you singing along to your favorite songs. Because also especially the metal screaming…dude you’re actually truly phenomenal. 🫡🤯😄🤌
Chevelle was the first band i really listened to on my own - nice vid hahaha
I'm glad I'm procrastinating here on YT at 12 pm - just in time🎉
Damn, those lighting and camera effects are sick!
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. Ridiculously talented. Wow.
your ability to match the tone, cadence, and diction of so many singers and styles of music is so impressive.
Chevelle! now theres a band i haven't heard in a long while, i love the cover!!
You should check out their latest album, NIRATIAS. It's quite good.
Also sounds like an early 90s NIN song…good job!
Came here to say this. Major Trent reznor vibes
Absolutely LOVE Chevelle! And you did them justice and Billie with this! Genius level Unlocked!
Dude this is so awesome. \m/
that outro breakdown literally gave me chills, can tell you put a lot of work into this one cheers dude
Love your Chevelle sound, love to see more
A Chevelle Style song? Let's gooooo! One of my favorite bands!
Love how the guitar has Billie Eilish colors.
Awesome stuff!
What you did with the "duh" is simply sublime.
The algorithm has blessed me with your channel. You absolutely nail Chevelle AND audioslave's styles to a T, and I say that as a massive fan of both.
Thanks for doing this Mac. 👍 Not a huge Eilish fan, but LOVE Chevelle. 😁
Im binging your stuff and BAM! New video. Hell yeah
Yet another banger, good job!
Saw Chevelle in concert a few years ago... I could so see them doing this song live! This is freaking amazing!
THIS IS SO GOOD🔥
Talk about convergent evolution. That verse guitar riff is near identical to the riff in the verses for Passive by A Perfect Circle. It's like if the singer from Chevelle and the instrumentalists from A Perfect Circle made Bad Guy. Freakin dope.
I wish this had more likes. All I could hear was APC.
You're great. If chevelle did kryptonite
This turned out awesome, you have his voice down so well. The only thing missing from the chevelle kit is that string scrape sound he does
Damn Billie was outta pocket for that dad line, never listened to this lyrics of this track lol
La Gargola era Chevelle music with Trent Reznor on clean vocals and Serj Tankian on screams
OMG 30 seconds in and I am LIKE AWWWWWEEEEESOOOOOMMMMEEEE !!!
Finally... A song by Billie Eilish I can listen to.
The original is legit good. I don't care for anything else by her but Bad Guy slaps.
Billie has amazing songs. I fucking hate new music, but Billie and her brother know how to write amazing songs
This honestly a clean sound like cover. This is on my playlist.
I want so badly that the riff you’re using here to be an actual Chevelle song 😭
First!
