Little do people know that the robots actually moved like that. When they built the robots for this video, they actually started to move on their own, as if they were possessed by Michael Jackson's ghost. They took advantage of it and started recording, that's how we got this awesome music video.
Ever since you announced that you'd be covering this song, I couldn't stop wondering how you were gonna tackle it. You did not disappoint, Klayton. This cover is fucking amazing. Also, dancing werewolf robots. 10/10 video man.
Anthony Caruso I'm gonna be that person and say that Circle of Dust is more in the industrial metal/rock territory than heavy metal. And that is with fairly heavy (heh) on the industrial part aka the electronics;P But your point still stands:)
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@@Crystaldabber 77 I obviously know that and I'm so glad he is. I'm talking about singers who are just like him. I don't know much about those type of people cuz they don't interest me.
Excellent cover. And major props to the motion graphic artist, the composition with the robot werewolf running slowly towards the camera looks amazing. TBH IT ALL LOOKS & SOUNDS AMAZING. Can't wait for the full album!
Let's be honest, nothing will ever top Michael Jackson. However, I would be lying if I said that this wasn't an awesome cover. It has a higher emphasis on funk and dance, which is cool. Great job, Klayton!
@@taylormann1038 Love to see some examples of this. Really I listen to all kinds of Music and really haven't felt anyone has topped what Michael Jackson and Prince both did. Seriously Come up with someone. I dare you! You have any?
@@dragongamer2670 already added Prince...sooo...I guess Madana has had a pretty huge impact on music tho I'm not a Fan of hers...but my comment was on of innuendo s to the actions of Michael Jackson towards children....in poor taste lol
Always dreamed to someone make a awesome cover of #THRILLER and that day finally arrived. Thank you Klayton.. LOVE IT. its amazing.. MJ would have loved it, i know he is dancing from the Heavens to this new rhytm of thriller...
This is my favorite cover of Thriller. I love that Klayton stays true to the vocals and the 80s funkiness but makes it modern at the same time. Fucking awesome.
Omg, this is goosebumps central. I'm sure if Jackson was still with us, he'd commend Klayton for this chilling/funky cover, and its ability to evoke the same emotions the timeless gem gave us all :D
WOW, so perfect and awesome this was released today, October 13, 2017...FRIDAY THE 13TH! Badass as hell itself, and I think MJ would defiantly approve of his dance style being imitated by dancing werewolf robots....I wonder now if other MJ songs can come over to the synthwave side....like Smooth Criminal....wow that would be awesome. Well done Klayton!
This is funky. as. HELL! i am kinda disappointing the end laugh wasn't there but that is easily made up for and i LOVE this cover. this is my FAVORITE Halloween song of all time and this is ABSOLUTELY perfect! You did Stutter proud klay, you did him proud...
Dude, Scandroid, you have the best synthwave music. 20/10. I started with your Star Wars Force Theme, and all your music is impressive! I hope you become super famous!
I will tell you something, Scandroid. I usually always hate it when people attempt to remake, revamp or reuse Jacko songs - but I have to say, I like this version of Thriller, well done.
Dancing werewolf robots!? Perfect! Also, this cover was done so well. I love Klayton's work. He's a true musical genius that is always enjoyable to listen to on so many levels.
Just discovered Celldweller and therefore Scandroid and MY GOD the fusion of genres is so good! I always love it when different types of music are combined into something new i wish i discovered this guy sooner!
Being a big fan of Michael Jackson as well as Klayton, this is bringing tears to my eyes because it's the best cover song of Jackson I have heard in years, no other artist has seemed to capture the soul of his songs before. If Michael Jackson were alive, I think he would've loved this
The song itself, he hates it. It was most expensive song he has ever made, he even has spent over 10 grand on that song in early 2000s. Just read his interviews, watch his old videos, and you'll get what's the deal.
I mean, it worked perfectly like it should be - a great banger single for a new music project. It's not that the song itself was bad - Klayton was just too tired of it.
The werewolf robot is so amazing, we need an album with pictures of this badboy. Also, his head is so much reminds me of Witchers amulet, it makes it even more cool!
I love these dancing robots! For a long time there haven't been a lyric video that is so good! The song cover is amazing also, never thought i would hear Klayton singing Michael Jackson's Thriller!
Liking the synths. Never seen dancing like this from mechs before (Most likely not real). Very unigue and ingeneous! Nicely done cover! I'm sure the KOP, if he were still here, would enjoy this. Wonder what the Official music video will look like, even though I've seen parts of it in the lyric video. One last thing: Why did I find out about this nearly 1 and a half years later? What's wrong with you Google and UA-cam recommendations? You've earned a new subscriber for that. :) Nicely done Monochrome!
It takes serious guts to cover this song. It's not bad IMO, but also not a song I will keep coming back to. Thriller was so revolutionary back then in so many ways it's impossible for me not to compare one against the other. That said, I always appreciate Klayton's desire to push the envelope. Keep doing what you are doing!
The cross between a werewolf and Optimus Prime I never thought I'd need!
It's like Beast Wars Optimus
Okay, the dancing robots are awesome.
Kazuhiko Dainami I think it was neat how they moved like they were animated in stop motion. That was a really nice subtle touch.
Little do people know that the robots actually moved like that. When they built the robots for this video, they actually started to move on their own, as if they were possessed by Michael Jackson's ghost. They took advantage of it and started recording, that's how we got this awesome music video.
Dancing robot WOLVES you mean?
Looked more like walking houndbots to me though.
Definitely wasn't intentional but it worked, and thanks!
Only Scandroid can take an 80's song and make is sound EVEN MORE 80'S.
T R U T H ! ! !
HIlARIOUS
You should listen to Gunship.
im not sure many of you have a very good grasp on what music in the 80s sounded like
2080*
Hmm I wonder what a scandroid ghostbusters cover would sound like, he hints very obviously
Matt Weare Yeah!!!
Better than the reboot *cough*. But now I've got variable thoughts on how that would sound.
And Maybe a spooky scary skeleton, or Monster Mash cover/remix?
Okay that actually could be really cool.
make this happen!
Ever since you announced that you'd be covering this song, I couldn't stop wondering how you were gonna tackle it.
You did not disappoint, Klayton. This cover is fucking amazing.
Also, dancing werewolf robots.
10/10 video man.
Klayton cannot make bad music indeed, I don't even like heavy metal that much but I love Circle of Dust.
Anthony Caruso I'm gonna be that person and say that Circle of Dust is more in the industrial metal/rock territory than heavy metal. And that is with fairly heavy (heh) on the industrial part aka the electronics;P
But your point still stands:)
Thanks!

@Ahmed Brentley Instablaster :)
Micheal jackson's thriller is a great song yeah but klayton has killed it with this cover definitely 100% well done
I bet Klayton will kill all those other shitty singers like xxxtacion and more
Now he just needs to do a remix of the Remy parody "Trigger"..... ua-cam.com/video/ynO-bqU6tUk/v-deo.html
@@Crystaldabber 77 I obviously know that and I'm so glad he is. I'm talking about singers who are just like him. I don't know much about those type of people cuz they don't interest me.
Well this got dark
Original is better :)
I've learned my lesson, Never question *Klayton's* abilities in making Music. This is proof of that
The way he sings 'tonight' - the feels!! I love it! Perfect for Halloween..
I know, right? Also the "thriller night". So good!
5 years on and still a goddamn BEAST of a track!
Excellent cover. And major props to the motion graphic artist, the composition with the robot werewolf running slowly towards the camera looks amazing. TBH IT ALL LOOKS & SOUNDS AMAZING. Can't wait for the full album!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the visuals. Also, you won't be disappointed with the full album! Klayton did a fantastic job.
Let's be honest, nothing will ever top Michael Jackson. However, I would be lying if I said that this wasn't an awesome cover. It has a higher emphasis on funk and dance, which is cool. Great job, Klayton!
I'm pretty sure sure a couple Kidz have "topped" ol Mike....lol
@@taylormann1038 Not cool.
@@ZiddersRooFurry no doubt how do you think them kids felt
@@taylormann1038 Love to see some examples of this. Really I listen to all kinds of Music and really haven't felt anyone has topped what Michael Jackson and Prince both did. Seriously Come up with someone. I dare you! You have any?

That wolf robot is walking with such mesmerizing conviction lol
Always dreamed to someone make a awesome cover of #THRILLER and that day finally arrived. Thank you Klayton.. LOVE IT. its amazing.. MJ would have loved it, i know he is dancing from the Heavens to this new rhytm of thriller...
DesaadOfficial Gothminister did a good one too
He's def doing the moonwalk right now... :)
Not to discredit homeboy's good work, but there've been a few decent covers of various music genres. You should look into it.
I had the pleasure of watching Klayton record this. You continue to inspire me Klay! Love this cover
Now we just need Klayton to do a full music video dancing with the robots. Then ending on him as a half-wolf.
OMG yes!
Have it look like a suit of armor around him
Let’s not forget the Moonwalk. NEVER forget the Moonwalk. Or should I say, the “Klaywalk.” Hahahaha. Ehh? Ehh? *insert quarter in the bad puns jar*
Now that's jaw some🆕🆒😎😍🤘🎼🍻🖖
even better, hot chicks dressed up like robots.
It's taken a while but this is the push I needed to fully appreciate Scandroid. =D
happy halloween! i come back to this vid every year
This is my favorite cover of Thriller. I love that Klayton stays true to the vocals and the 80s funkiness but makes it modern at the same time. Fucking awesome.
i would fucking LOVE a fullsized picture of that wolf when hes walking at the camera.
Fucking thing looks badass and awesome!
I'd buy that, very much want
I've been waiting to hear this since it was first announced, and I am truly blown away. Incredible work, Klayton.
3:55 the gate fits so perfect!!! awsome music design!
Your Vincent Price was on point. Great job Klay, Robozombies and MJ, nothing gets better.
I want a to see Klayton dancing :D
francoispepe I think that’s asking too much
Only if I can wear my MC Hammer outfit while I'm dancing. #youcanttouchthis
Yeah, but you'll need dancing robot chicks
Omg, this is goosebumps central. I'm sure if Jackson was still with us, he'd commend Klayton for this chilling/funky cover, and its ability to evoke the same emotions the timeless gem gave us all :D
Second kick-ass 80s cover I've heard today. So great. Keep up the awesome work Klayton!
Man, this is just amazing. This will be on repeat for awhile
revisit it
@@bradlycarpenter1960 I did yesterday! It really helps mark that transition from summer to fall for me.
Honestly this is better than the original version. *Thrillerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight*

Wait, what happened to Stutter?
TheNocturnal by this time stutter is 33+ years old, so....
Drewsky unless he is immortal like Klayton.....
Either way we can confirm that Klay is at least 33 years old ;)
*takes off sunglasses* my god your right
Wow! That is so retro-modern-juicy-marvelous-funky fresh! Klayton, you are a true multigenre musical genious!
Omg Klayton, you never cease to amaze me, when I already consider you my most favourite musician ever. I'm even getting BIONICLE vibes from the video!
Dude, Scandroid, you have the best synthwave music. 20/10. I started with your Star Wars Force Theme, and all your music is impressive! I hope you become super famous!
I will tell you something, Scandroid. I usually always hate it when people attempt to remake, revamp or reuse Jacko songs - but I have to say, I like this version of Thriller, well done.
Takes a lot of guts and confidence to do any song by MJ. Good job.
I vote Scandroids next cover is 'Mr. Roboto' by Styx. Would be insanely appropriate considering Scandroids story setting.
Check out The Protomen's cover of mr roboto, its pretty much the same as Scandroid
Lol I was just about to comment with the protomen too
Dancing werewolf robots!? Perfect! Also, this cover was done so well. I love Klayton's work. He's a true musical genius that is always enjoyable to listen to on so many levels.
Just discovered Celldweller and therefore Scandroid and MY GOD the fusion of genres is so good! I always love it when different types of music are combined into something new i wish i discovered this guy sooner!
October 31, 2518- No mere mortal still can't resist the Thriller
That double negative would imply that the Thriller is very difficult to _not_ resist.
@@Zappygunshot yes
😂😂😂
Anyone from r/outrun?
Also, this has been on repeat for for a while now. So good! Wish we had the Vincent Price laugh. 😉
Being a big fan of Michael Jackson as well as Klayton, this is bringing tears to my eyes because it's the best cover song of Jackson I have heard in years, no other artist has seemed to capture the soul of his songs before. If Michael Jackson were alive, I think he would've loved this
this man very rarely doeas things wrong, amazing song
Creating Switchback and signing a contract with R.E.X. Records were his biggest mistakes.
U mean Switchback video, or song, 'cause song is amazing
The song itself, he hates it. It was most expensive song he has ever made, he even has spent over 10 grand on that song in early 2000s. Just read his interviews, watch his old videos, and you'll get what's the deal.
I mean, it worked perfectly like it should be - a great banger single for a new music project. It's not that the song itself was bad - Klayton was just too tired of it.
I'm disappointed with myself not knowing this existed until the ep was just released. Had to come and comment on this masterpiece
Perfect. This could bring MJ back to life.
Do you know what I think of when I imagine the future? Dancing Robots! Fuck yeah!!! 😎
where has this bionicle masterpiece been all my life?
Michael Jackson has been real silent since this dropped
I've been listening to this for over an hour now! OMG its so good - did Michael proud - Scandroid :)
Goosebumps. One of the best covers I've heard. What an absolutely amazing track klayton!
Okay. This made me shake my head and really smile today.
That was incredible! Well done Klayton, as if there were any other way. MJ would have been proud.
i bow down to thee klayton your awesomeness knows no bounds i am humbled by such kickassery
keep coming back to this, #1 cover of all time \m/
Klayton you are a legend!
the 'main' robo-wolf in red/black (to imitate MJ I suppose) looks like he'd be right at home in Real Steel lmfao 10/10
I'm in love... Klay this is amazing! The Wereborg MJ is my fav new thing... very much to the style of FNAF!
You had me at Thriller, but totally sold me at the dancing robots. This is AMAZING!!
I first heard this on LobroWatch's Twitch stream and I'm obsessed with this version!
Originally, I was on edge about whether or not I'd like this. . . Why do I even bother doubting Klayton anymore. He's a damn god.
Best cover and early birthday gift ever WELL DONE Klayton ^w^
Year later and still by far best early birthday gift ever and the best cover ever ^_\\
The werewolf robot is so amazing, we need an album with pictures of this badboy. Also, his head is so much reminds me of Witchers amulet, it makes it even more cool!
I love these dancing robots! For a long time there haven't been a lyric video that is so good! The song cover is amazing also, never thought i would hear Klayton singing Michael Jackson's Thriller!
good work :)
Celldweller+Scandroid rocks! This cover always puts me in a great mood :)
Klayton has done it again. Another slam dunk, rock on brother 😁
Klayton, this is absolutely f***ing spectacular! I LOVE this remix its phenominal!
WOW!! I thought I was watching from a Japanese live-action show at first. Love the metallic wolf, especially as it's walking.
I'm so late but never knew who this was. Now I can't stop listening. ITS AMAZING
WOW! Jackson would be proud! Love this!
The shakiness of the animations of the MJ W.O.L.F Unit reminds me of the original Killer Instinct
Love these wolfbots. Gonna make and animate them right away. Scandroid at its best as always
Liking the synths. Never seen dancing like this from mechs before (Most likely not real). Very unigue and ingeneous! Nicely done cover! I'm sure the KOP, if he were still here, would enjoy this.

OMG how great are these animations!
Whoa, that was cool. I wasn't hooked on the intro, but wow, I'm glad I didn't give up on it. That. Was. Amazing.
i love the scan droid
I was looking up cover songs by synthwave artists and by GOD did I stumble upon GOLD with this song! A+++++ 💚
The perfect cover doesn't exi-
I love the Styx reference, rocking the Paradise !
An excellent update of a music masterpiece, congratulations !
Thanks for all the production extras
An already fantastic song made even better.
This is by far my favorite cover.
Such a great cover absolutely speechless on how amazing it is
I was getting a bit sceptical abd weary when I realized it was an MJ cover, but then he completely blew away my expectations. Great vid, man!
This is the best thing I've ever seen in my entire freaking life. Seriously! OMG!
Klayton made this better than original. I love you man, thank you very much for years best job
Another epic cover... Must have this CD - Take my money right MEOW.
It takes serious guts to cover this song. It's not bad IMO, but also not a song I will keep coming back to. Thriller was so revolutionary back then in so many ways it's impossible for me not to compare one against the other. That said, I always appreciate Klayton's desire to push the envelope.

only if MJ could live to see this
Live to see one of his greatest works butchered?
@@diablerietandino1941 Butchered? Fool. This is better than the original, take off your nostalgia-laden glasses.
@@Vedlom Has nothing to do with nostalgia, I've seen plenty of people make great covers to old songs, this just isn't one of them, it's shit.
@@diablerietandino1941 you watch videos about the ninja turtles fuck outta here.
its after 9 years since he died (2009)
The remix was great, the aesthetic was awesome. I'm gonna be listening to this a bunch.
by far the best version of this song i have ever seen
¡Qué excelente versión! ¡Me fascina!
As a true MJ fan I definitely approve of this. Well done Klayton 😄
Favorite cover EVER! :) Long time fan of everything Klayton, and he never disappoints. Loved MJ and I love this cover even more!
Best cover I ever saw & heard
THIS IS F*** AMAZING!!!
We need a t-shirt or something featuring that wolf-borg!
Definitely the best version of the song. The transition to the chorus gets me every time
Awesome video! The robots are perfection.
Did not expect this to be this good
I was a kid when this song first came out and honestly this remake gives me the happy chills!!!! Love it!
Another amazing cover by Klayton.
