Arrangement & performance by Jonathan Young
Mixing & Mastering by Johnny Franck
Scar talking to himself instead of the hyenas gives a whole new level of complexity to the character
@InkyStory It's like scar is going insane. As if he is hearing voices and getting mad at them.
It's more of a powerful monologue with a psycho than joking around with hyenas. Almost like voices in his head. It's crazy how one small change can change the whole dynamic of the song.
It definitely gave me goosebumps. That part made this so powerful. Even more so than the first cover. Scar slowly going mad and talking to himself. Well, we all knew that Jonathan is a genius. This proves it.
It would make sense because in the original version of the movie and in the Broadway version Scar starts falling into insanity, so seeing this version of Be Prepared is, in a small way, paying tribute to that.
It does that makes Scar even more Amazing
Whoever's got Jonathan in their basement please let him out
Nah, lol.
If only i had a basement hahah covers 24/7
After he's covered Not One of Us the whole of Sweeney Todd and the rest of Phantom of the Opera.
575snake bro 😂
No one's keeping him captive. Weather you were joking or not, he's doing this on his own.
The idea of Scar talking and screaming at himself is both dark and also genuis. Comes across as a power hungry lunatic.
Dubh Bubonem trueeeee
...or demon-possessed.
You mean he comes across as Scar?
Angry Jesus inside his dark tomb cave.
Essentially Scar *WAS* a power hungry lunatic, he just seems more psychotic and schizophrenic with no hyenas.
Lighting Director: How insane do you want to look?
Jonathan: Yes
The riffs sound like shit being lost. I dig it.
Long live the king, amirite?
He kinda looks like Nick Cage in this lighting lol I guess that says something to how crazy he looks
He did it all alone with a DIY Home Depot light 😅 I just found this out from someone reacting to this. Johnathon Young said it himself.
True.
First Cover: Who are you?
Second Cover: I'm you but stronger.
Third Cover: And I'm both of u but I'm much MUCH STRONGER
The original: Who r u?
Cover 1: I am you but stronger.
Cover 2: Yeah and I'll be stronger than you will ever be
Wait, what? Are you implying that Young made another version of this, recently?
@@omnimon2230 ua-cam.com/video/yLu5tPR2SFY/v-deo.html
He posted the first version in 2014 to honor the 20th Anniversary of the animated movie, and he posted this version to honor the CGI remake.
First cover: who are you?
Third Cover: I'm you, but stronger
Second Cover: You do, but I do.
Wow, him doing the hyenas’ parts makes it seem like he’s just talking to himself and he’s unhinged.
I can dig it.
Amara Jordan Same here
I think that's also helped by Jonathan's vocals being so deep and growly.
Well he is a man after power. It can fit for a evil villain to talk to himself to show their madness. I can dig it as well.
Ik but it's funny 😁😂🤣😂
Will the shyguy Lol, true. It makes me think of my brother, “Of course I talk to myself; just occasionally I enjoy a good conversation, and otherwise there are such limited options.” 😂 Also, “Great minds think alike because there are only so many right answers; think like me and join the greatness”
Holy crap... is... is he a Disney villain? 😳
it´s terrifying how similar he sounds to scar
Especially that “Long live the king” at the end!
What? This is Scar
Julia de Soto like Jon’s voice compare to the original Scar’s.
@@Medatreeme True
He did jeromy irons proud
Why isn't Jonathan a Villain in a movie yet? He's clearly got the skills for it.
The world is not yet prepared for Jonathan to play a villain.
Yeah your right they don't have enough awards for him.
Cancel culture probably won't be able to handle what he can bring to the term villain lol
They cant decide if they want him as an insane villian or a super posh smart one, thats my guess
You guys have just given me the greatest idea for my videogame!
Updated version of his original cover? I like it. Also the long hair adds a visual aspect to this. Props, my good sir.
Like a lions mane
Facts👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Makes him look like an evil Jesus 😂
I thought he'd done this before, least im not crazy. I'm down for some updates if he feels he should improve on them
@@ihateeveryone8161 He did a cover of this with Malinda Kathleen Reese on her channel a couple years ago.
I thought I was prepared.
I was not.
A Syrdal neither was I
Nobody was. Even Disney wasn't prepared.
Nobody was.
Welp, Jonathan snapped, I had a feeling this was coming, Nice knowing you all.
I'd buy it. He has been doing covers of other artist's' work instead of his own since he started. (Except "Bait and "Echo Chamber") I'd lose it too.
He snapped, just like Thanos
Like a twig.
See you when the apocalypse ends!
@@Unremarkable6969 o h if only you knew
the apocalypse didnt start yet
I feel like this is scar in purgatory to lose his absolute mind after his death in lion king trapped in a never ending loop and talking to himself and singing the same song over and over again failing and dying each and every time and this is his current state in the purgatory absolutely insane
Mr. Doesn’t Give a Shit so basically Scar got golden experience requiemed.
Mr. Doesn’t Give a Shit scar gets the diavolo treatment
In a way, that makes sense....
@@doge9763 wha-

Hes got the looks of a fallen king...

Like someone who has nothing more to loose and who has lost all sanity.
iDunno *Fallen Kingdom Intensifies*
God when making Jonathan:
Great hair: ✓
Great voice: ✓
Perfection: ✓
And beard. Don't forget about beard.
*jonathan was born with a beard**
No. Meadow is correct. He was born with a beard
I can believe that Jon was born with a beard >
Angels Of Chaos Network nope, he was definitely born with a beard.
I like how in this version it's as if Scar's going insane and talking to himself. You could say that here he's just hallucinating the hyenas and hearing their praise of him only in his head.
@Mayo Lane Huh. Guess Scar never learned the Golden Rule about Demon Summoning:
*Don't.*

Aku The door. Now.
@@huff-an-puff555 okay...
Illidan gave you lots of warning, buddy
I came back to this and forgot how frightening it is.
Let me make this clear, Jonathan Young doesn't usually scare me one bit and neither does Scar.
But this particular cover of Be Prepared gives me chills and a creeping sensation of impending doom.
All hope is lost
@@Unremarkable6969 I'm doomed. DOOMED.
@@Ravensikkness I'm gonna sing the doom song now! Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom de-doom, The end!

First Cover:Scar before he was King
Second cover:Scar as the king
remember Scar was losing his mind and was haunted by Mufasa.
@@megancollier3803 It's implied in the musical, and with the whole "Mufasa?! No you're dead." line
@@megancollier3803 Its in the madness of king Scar.It got deleted in the original movie
god DAMN this sounds so sick
It's not surprising that Disney Villian songs sound amazeballs when set to Metal
Jonathan kinda looks like Rasputin from Anastasia in this cover
I like it
Man looking more like Rasputin then when he was Rasputin
He should have did the same look for in the dark of the night so he could almost literally become the wizard of the Russian Empire 🇷🇺
I agree with this, but at the same time, my first thought when I saw his look in this video was Rob Zombie.
Scar is such a complicated character that we don’t talk about it enough. He was literally slowly going g insane the entire movie and no one talks about it. Great job you did the song AND the Character justice.
well, that's Macbeth for you
He looks like a medieval revolutionary, very kingly in aspect but also deeply disturbing. perfect disney villan
Can I just say Jonathon looks absolutely dope with long hair and a beard. Also thoroughly terrifying performance 👍🏻
Nameless Husk man look like a lion in a way
This isn't Jonathan. His name is Jesus now :D
@@TheDarkSan666 Eeeew no Odin.

Being a Disney villain doesn't seem bad - sure, you probably die but at last you get the most awesome song in the movie!
Btw.... 1:41 - ever needed the visual definition of insanity? ^^
I freaking love it
I don't know why but I found that so funny. I laughed myself to death
Vass vibes coming through strong =)
@@NeinVyacheslav Because Jesus was planning on revenge against the descendants of those people who crucified him in the past. Along with the non-believers.
@@sussyangel7492 I got so confused thinking you were one of those people who would irritate the hell out of casual people
and then I realized that was the joke
Jon's portrayal of villains, particularly dark ones, is always so captivating, top job!
Honestly, I love the original from you, but this heavier version feels more appropriate.
Excellent as always, mate.
Thor: "I see you've copied my beard"
HoityToityBadger love it
"This beard. I like it. ANOTHER."
It’s so good
Jonathon:” I see you’ve copied my hair.”
When we see a great villain like this, it's just unique!
A mad villain, insane, black Hearted, a cold murderer, a real monster, a deep creature with a Death figure as itself.
*And he's signing Scar's music :D*
Producer: Let's use this random guy for scars voice okay guys
Johnathan: Hold my Beer
That random guy is Jeremy Irons lol
mcrfan343 should’ve asked him for the live action but noooooooo
Dude Jeremy Irons is the man... but this is a fantastic cover, the best I have ever heard. I think it's because he sometimes sounds like Jeremy Irons, which makes it so much better.
@@mcrfan343 and he wasnt even suppose to be the singing voice. They had him record it for scratch dialog to give to animators to give reference to and the direvtors and producers loved it so much they had him re-record it for the final
@@bijouxette3137 Jeremy couldn't sing all of Be Prepared so they had Jim Cummings come in and sing what Jeremy couldn't.
The first cover sounded like it could replace the original.
Second cover is far more intense and holds up well as its own song instead.
Love both!

DUDE SPOILER ALERT FOR THE MOVIE
Please tell me thats a joke lmao.... 😂
It has got to be a joke because who has isn’t seen the movie
For every lions death a member of british royal family is born
Tee Durp true.
Jonathan finally snapped. Truth be told, we all saw this coming.
Okay, I can't be the only one who is more afraid of Jonathan Young trying to create an uprising than I am of Scar. Like, dude. Goosebumps...
First Cover: very Disney metal. Gives a sense of metallic whimsy
This Cover: very heavy metal classic. Dark and brooding, sort of how a live action may show it.
we've lost him, ladies and gentlemen.
he's gone.
When you jump an octave at 3:15, I was like "there's no way he's hitting that." Well...
First Cover: The perfect theme song for me to play Crusader Kings II to.
New Cover: Still perfect for playing Crusader Kings II but this time off my meds.
Well done!
Oh hey, a man of culture.
TPrice919 You meant perfect for playing the HRE game as brandenburg or prussia in EU4
im gonna be honest
i was typing a comment to ask "wheres the original cover i cant find it , when did he do it" only to realize typing midway its like right next to where im typing my comment in the recommended vids , just like 2 vids higher
WHAT A FINE DAY FOR SOME PATRICIDE
Oh my sweet gentle jesus. This man needs to do Disney villain voices
Which villain should he do
Scar?
Frollo?
Captain hook?
A male version of maleficent?
Or any other ones
(I forgot most of them, sorry 😐.)
He could pull a scar.
Your profile picture isn't really accurate anymore xD
The "who needs a king" conversation gave me chills. I love the Lion King. Very well done cover. Keep it up Mr. Young. Loving the material!
It's crazy, listening to this song now as an adult. The lyrics are absolutely masterclass.
Jonathan got possessed by Bray Wyatt... Thelook really sells the maniac feel of this version.
Yes!!!! Bray Wyatt makes sense🤘🏻
This makes me nostalgic for both Lion King and OG Jon Young music.
Same, I love the re-recording.
And for the OG Jonathan Young hair :P
Tip:If your younger siblings always annoy you by asking you to giving Disney villain songs then give it to them without the video.Then they will never bother you again
I wish you had played Scar in the remake.
Oh, this one is definitely darker and more demented than the original cover. The original was very rousing. This one is just insane, especially since the hyenas are now the voices in Scar's head. Also, Jonathan sounded like he was channeling Marco Hietala during certain parts of the song. Nice touch.
Jesus in his tomb in a cave planning for the future Revenge.
Both versions amazing, but this one, you can really tell the progress that you have made with your talent since the original you did.
Third version (another was done with google translate sings/MKR)
I would class that more as a parody than cover though ^^
@@jenniferkristiansen2444 fair enough :) just as much fun
Already a Jonathan Young classic. 😊
God this makes the song much more demonic and I love it. Also the parts of hyenas that were replaced with Scar talking to himself is absolutely fking genius
Metal Jesus 🤣🤘🤘
Best comment ever!
bold of you to assume jesus wasn't metal to begin with
Masha fh lmao
Amen🔪🔪
This shouldn't be funny to me but, it is. 😆
This dude should be Scar's voice-actor. Suits him well! :)
Dan Eriksson ikr ! He sounds so cool
YES
Maybe for the live action hmmm~
We've been calling for him to be a Disney villain since the start of his music career
@@anxietyattack9904 Both! :)
Jonathan, I was honestly was not prepared for such a badass cover or album. ♥
Bulbasaurr he told us to be prepared though
@@SadboigamingTTV I guess he gave me warning. uwu
THIS! IS WHAT THE LIVE ACTION LION KING NEEDED!
Jon's thunder voice, long hair, and crazy look alongisde the lighting, instrumentals, and the song itself makes me give this a yes/10.
Why do you look like Thorin?
Mr Lowkey i didn’t know I need a metal version of Misty Mountains until I read this comment.
I never though Hobbits essential
They are barefoot and unspeakably short
@@konnosx1213 Thorin is not a Hobbit... He's a dwarf they not at all like hobbits a part for their height
@@ItamiAkuma Well duh, Scar is not a hyena...
THANK YOU, I COULDNT THINK OF THE NAME, I KNEW I COULDNT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT
a singer and an actor
GET YOU A MAN WHO CAN DO BOTH
Jonathan? Are you feeling okay? I mean, it was a great cover (Maybe a little better [And creepier] than the first)... but... are you sure you're okay, buddy? Did you watch Mufasa's death one too many times in a row?
Until now i never knew a song could go Super Sayan... let alone super sayan 3
2:13 I love that voice
Huge improvement from your older cover. The arrangement and your voice are much heavier and disturbing, amazing John
0:27 the laugh Jonathan let’s out has this undeniable tone of: “the galaxy’s most powerful Sith Lord”
2:41 Fun fact, Jeremy Irons blew out his voice doing this part.
YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah a lot of people don't know about that. They had to bring in Jim Cummings to finish the song.
While everyone is like: "you look like Thor or Thorin", i'm like: Sorcerer's Apprentice Nic Cage?
Tell me I'm not the only one!
Thanks now I cant unsee it
The spirit of Ol Jon finally awakens after a long deep sleep
We played this at a family get-together on the tv and my 4 year old nephew stood right in front of the tv completely entranced. When it ended, he instantly said "Again." 😂 little metalhead in the making! I'm so proud 😭😍
J.Y: How angry and mad do I need the bass to be?
Also J.Y: Yes.
i have never clicked on a notification so fast
Oh my God, that ending gave me serious chills. This was EXCELLENT Jonathan. Well done! :D
Dat bass line drove me insane. That laugh in the beginning threw me off guard so much that I thought Scarr came to life the moment you started singing. How the hell do you perfect an already perfect cover?
This is it.
Huge Lion King fan and I have no idea how I've gone so many years without witnessing this masterpiece. I'm blown away and terrified! AMAZING!
Epic cover! Seems a little different than you're earlier cover. Love it! Keep up the amazing music!!
*your
Fuckkin UA-cam, why won't you tell me when my favorite handsome man uploads?!
Truly phenomenal and bone chilling as always, Jonny boi
3:22 that is the scariest creepiest facial expression in the whole video. The way he loooks up at the camera screaming full power. It's just so terrifying
This one cover is better than the entire “live action” remake.
YESSS LION KING! WHOOHOO!
(Btw early squad where u at?)

Here i am

Earliest I've ever been on one of his videos

Mee
Long Hair? Check. Luscious Beard? Yup, looks pretty dope. Rock star voice? You betcha.
Welp, the list checks out, *he's a God.*
Gonna throw this out there. That really warped bass line backing it up is fucking amazing
I! Will! BE! KING!!
Nailed it.
What I love about this cover is the fact that he makes it his own and completely owns it.
This has always meant to be a metal song, 🤘
Believe I like your version more than the original. Your sounds so dark and scary. Its perfect!!! 😍😍😍
*lyrics that I googled quickly*
I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But-thick as you are-pay attention!
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares!
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do you feature?
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
[Solo]
Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
I will be king!
Long Live the King!
I will be king!
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Long Live the King!
Just leaving this comment here to make it easier to find, also Thx
Jejak
And this song was cut from the live action version... It may have been the best song of the whole movie!
This is "insanely" awesome. I love the intense acting you put into it!
It's like a scar that engraved itself so deep into the psyche that it turned itself into the king of insanity. Great entertainment! Keep up the awesome work, Jonathan!
I've always enjoyed The Lion King growing up. My childhood story runs deeper than anybody can imagine and it always surprises people when I share my testimony! And the Story of Simba and Scar has a similar echo compared to my childhood.
This is the kind of music I've been waiting for from Jonathan Young.
Ok. This new version is so freaking good. I actually like it more than the original one you did. Holy crow. Also, shoutout to jesus jon.
I'm usually pretty wary about metal covers because a lot of them seem to be pretty straightforward copies but with a distorted guitar and maybe a solo. But you really made this your own. The backing tracks, the vocals, all of it. You captured Scar's traitorous serpentine nature.
Can we address how smooth and badass the "its great that youll soon be connected, with a king who will be long time adored".
Like hell i cant get enough of it.
*Please do don't make me laugh from The Pebble and the Penguin*
Thissssss
THIS PLEASE
Fffffff
My ears are ready
OMG YES
OMG YES
i love your versions of these man keep going bro
The greatest Disney villain song. Ever. Can't change my mind.......

Yeah he covered it already, probably did it again I. Hype for the new lion king.
@@blue-eyeswhitekirbo2543 He's redone it due to the new album
Not gonna lie. I got excited and thought he did a cover of be prepared from the movie hoodwinked
That would be amazing!

This cover version of "be prepared" is better than the first one. Awakened my friend Scar's instinct.
Now THIS is the updated remix I've been waiting for!!
Rocking the Jesus look John.
Awesome!
More like The Visitation
I like how you made the hyena's "no king, no king, lalala~!" sound completely unhinged and twisted compared to the original
Ending gave me chills.
