An entire generations love letter to Michael, we all felt the same way you did when we saw this video for the first time, seeing your joy made my day kid, love you!!!💐😎🦄
I feel the same way with simple man. I feel the Deftones version is better than the Lynyrd Skynyrd. Same thing with the alien ant farm MJ. Let them take this bad boy. And then you have the Nice nails Johnny Cash hurt. There's a lot of really good covers.
This song was pure homage. They loved MJ and MJ loved this. Around this time a lot of rock fans that possibly never knew of MJ would of discovered his music too. The original Smooth Criminal had beats and a groove that lent itself to rock music too. MJ the genius again
Yup. Ever since Beat It, MJ incorporated a lot of rock elements into his songs and shows. Heck, even hired Jennifer Batten, to play the rock guitar parts.
MJ loved this Tribute Cover by AAF so much that when he died his family asked AAF to play at his memorial... the Tribute covers several videos he made, not just Smooth Criminal, but a handful of others... there are also items that pay tribute to him like the kid doing his dance moves, the drummer with only one gloved hand, the gloved hand he is sitting in and of course the chimpanzee.
“I wanna rock out and go HEHE at the same time” - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - loved that comment !!!! You just got a new sub, yes admittedly off of the hilarity. That was cool !!!!!
They straight paid homage to the great Michael Jackson! MJ actually okayed them doing this cover and the video. He liked this version better than his own from what I've read lol
When you said is this a cover my reply was "kinda" lol😂 this was more of a roast and a tribute all at the same time and they absolutely slayed it!!! I actually think this is better than the original
Alien Ant Farm - These Days. the band plays on top of a build across the street from the BET awards. NO ONE will react to it or perhaps it aint allowed. Def suggest you watch the video tho
Hey JB 😊, you might like a band called WASP they have so many songs and always have epic guitar riffs in them, if you do check them out may i suggest a song they did called Wild child ❤ loved your reaction to this master piece ❤❤
I’m having a Mandela moment… I feel like the kid was wearing a lower face gas mask/respirator and not just a medical mask? I’m def just trippin,but it was 23 years ago.
“I wanna rock out and He He at the same time”; I LOVE that! Exactly!!! ❤😊
That 2000s snare sound is everything here
tightened up to within a quarter bolt turn of snapping.

I my opinion, this is the greatest tribute video to Michael Jackson, ever.
How did I miss this? Love you man
Rumor has it Michael Jackson absolutely loved this….including the video.❤️🎶❤️
Yeah, they sent MJ the video to make sure he liked it before they sent it to MTV
MJ loved it so much that the family asked AAF to play it at his memorial.
Loved your reaction! Your energy is contagious!
The bassist hitting the high notes is insane
Us gen-x loved both mj, and aaf.
beautiful smile
Isn't he the sweetest guy ever?!🦄💐😎
Thank you ❤️
Just my opinion but, this is one of the few times where, a cover is better than the original. They killed it! 🤘😎
No they just have a different feel really! MJ's version is great but this is so much faster and has way more energy!
Agree
I agree better than the original….

It was about 10 years before I found out this was a cover.
It definitely made me reconsider my opinion of MJ

This is easily one of the best covers ever done.
Way better than Beat it from Fall Out Boy
@@greenrobot5 I totally forgot about that one, so yeah, deffo better than Fall Out Boy's cover...
they tried too hard, their video is full of celebrity cameos but nothing clever@@mspicer3262
I love MJ, so it's kinda weird to admit that I like this cover better than the original, don't hate me please
Great reaction
This is a song that makes you smile
Your energy and spirit are absolutely contagious. Love the content!
Bro! one the best reaction videos I have seen on this song!!!
Never heard of them..that was awesome!
one of the best covers of the great M!, and the clip is still super funny to this day.
I love watching still because the KOP LOVED it. They killed it.
“I wanna rock out and go HEHE at the same time” - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - loved that comment !!!! You just got a new sub, yes admittedly off of the hilarity. That was cool !!!!!
Loved this reaction. Your energy is infectious love from Scotland 🏴
This was amazing and Michael approved.
Video absolutely nuts. Only thing I'd say the distortion on the guitar ?bass could do with dialling down a little as appears to be in overdrive!
That's one of my favorite aspects of this cover 😂
Awesome reaction!! TY
I remember when this came out, they did a great job. I still love the original as well.
Priceless reaction!
Just a freakin' fun song and video! 😊
They straight paid homage to the great Michael Jackson! MJ actually okayed them doing this cover and the video. He liked this version better than his own from what I've read lol
Now thats a reaction video 🤘❤️
Love the reaction, you seem like a great soul! Keep on keeping on! 🍻🙏
Mike loved it!! Watch it agin to catch all the references to Mike.
Just to see your joy when listening to this for the first time, makes me enjoy your channel even more😂😂😂😅😊.. Keep on keeping on youngster ❤
I love watching your joy!! Great reaction!
Alien Ant Farm live on Fremont Street, Las Vegas, April 12th... If you happen to be in town...
I love how much you love this and Michael gave the thumbs up ❤
Your reaction was so f'ing fun to watch! Like a kid in a candy store! Loved it!
very few people notice the Elizabeth Taylor reference in the tattoo at the end. Michael and Elizabeth were very close friends.
This is a fun one for sure.
Rockin out with you! I love this cover! Great reaction
Dude I love your reaction..
I'm rockin out with you!!!
This Cover Is Dope , Great Reaction JB ♡

When you said is this a cover my reply was "kinda" lol😂 this was more of a roast and a tribute all at the same time and they absolutely slayed it!!! I actually think this is better than the original
They did an homage

This music video was stuffed to the gills with MJ references, but all of them done respectfully.
The guy in the video sporting the silverware mohawk is Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers

The kid was dancing in front of MJ’s childhood home.
They had the silver glove to

Rock out and Heehee at the same time, that's a perfect description for this cover! The original is so good, and AAF just rocked it up, love this one!
