LMFAO fucking epic
That guy deserves some kind of award… that was awesome!
That is brilliant and awesome and laugh-worthy and I fucking love it. Great start to this Wednesday.
Made of Win
that was tight.
and somewhat autoerotic.
I saw this a week ago or so and thought it was fucking stupid. After seeing it again, it’s still fucking stupid. Creative, but stupid.
thats not metal at all!
HAHA. That makes not being able to view Facebook at work somewhat tolerable…almost. That’s real talent right there.
My girlfriend sent me a link to this recently. Her ringtone (and ringback tone) is “The Final Countdown”… Anyone else here fans of Arrested Development?
The best part, is that he has a strap on the guitaccordian thing.
Which makes me assume, he chills and jams with it constantly.
RULES!
My Wednesday just got that much better. Words do not describe the awesomeness.
Everything was great up until the point he began to sing. I’m not saying he has a bad voice, but it looked totally mis-matched and in some way ‘inappropriate’ given his face.
Still, a very unique instrument – but I’m not sure how you could say it’s Metal…I think it’s more in the folk-polkish class, again, no demerit points on his ability, still pretty good.
I definitely like the original (‘Europe’s official album version) more but this is even better because he’s playing all of the necessary instruments at the same time.
So yeah, to reiterate what “Byron. W” said; I too think this guy deserves some kind of award. Not sure just how this is the ‘definition of metal though’.
They are Illusions Micheal!!!!
That is
(a) fucking metal
(b) fucking hilarious
(c) fucking awesome
(d) All of the above
Obviously, (d) is correct.
@ AWB The inclusion of “folk” does not negate the metalness of anything. Please see Amorphis’ “Elegy.”
It’s a guy doing what he thinks is awesome, which pretty much qualifies it as metal for me.
What would you even call that thing? A keyzukelele? And where would you get one?
I can’t wait to play this on keyzukelele hero
@ JTL
“The inclusion of “folk” does not negate the metalness of anything.”
I know, there are plenty of ‘folk-metal’ bands out there, I listen to quite a few…I think I wasn’t clear enough, I objected more to the ‘polka’-ish influence…And even that might not be clear enough so let me just say that the only thing (other than his singing) that I had a slight problem with was the ‘Kazoo’ type ‘blow-horn’ instrument he was using (the one in his mouth) the sound it produced doesn’t seem to fit with Metal overall.
Don’t get me wrong, ‘Folk’ (particularly when it comes to the Guitar) seems to work quite well (as it is usually a variant of ‘Classical-Guitar’ which is quite common in Metal) so long as we don’t let it get too ’silly’.
This is another reason why I typically like to keep ‘blow-horn’ type instruments out of the picture (unless it’s the occasional saxophone or flute used to subtly accent a metal song during the more ‘quiet’ parts) when it comes to metal.
Bottom line, the original song Europe’s 1986 song “The Final Countdown” was a decent glam-metal meets hard-rock variant of the time…This was a more like a polka rendition of the same song. Imagine a bunch of rappers covering Metallica songs…I know it’s already happened but it’s sort of the same thing here, a ’sub-genre’ jump (although with rap, it’d be an entire genre jump).
I don’t know if that makes sense but I think you get the idea here. Cool, but I don’t see how this 3-minute video is “THE VERY DEFINITION OF METAL”. Stylistically I see a difference, but to go even further and define metal with this video is a bit of an exaggeration…NEVERTHELESS – I MUST ADMIT – IT’S PRETTY AMAZING! Okay?
one word…metal.
No doubt this dude got laid because of this video.
I didn’t know this song could be done even gayer than the original but this kid smacked it out of the gayness ballpark. WOW
the video was fucking rad, because of the comments now keyzukelele has become my favorite word. Thank you.
WAAAAY better than the original
He should go out on an keyzukelelic tour with John Norum. And they said kids spend too much time playing video games…not sure which is worse, actually.
This is the keyzukelele eruption, he, keyzukelele’s EVH, prepare for the onslaught people.
everyone, meet dream theater’s newest member!
fuckin awesome, found this a few days ago and had it on my myspace, expected it to pop up here lol
