Hi everyone! Doing the classic Coolio song today that many of you have suggested, thanks:) Also used some pics in this video from my gangsta life here in Norway hehe. I appreciate all the suggestions in the comment section, and a special thanks go out to all my Patreon´s and everyone that buys my music! Have a great day!
🎶 "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death" Ha! Get it? Cause we're all gonna die!!! Haha ha... ha...... h......... Imma get myself infected now.
@@luekas LMFAO. I feel like if everyone listened to this song, the riots would stop and people could come together. Then again...that would require reason and understanding.
I double dog dare you to cover a Partridge family song!! A suggestion would sound like" I woke up in love this morning" I can promise to subscribe to your site cuz I am the metal, any song should b covered in a metal version, sooooooo. Thank you!!😈 I have dared many a band to cover this one cuz I feel strongly that this would b a career starter, get you noticed. The familiarity would cause you to stop and listen. You like it, and familiarity are the feet to get the door. It's the Partridges turn to shine!!
This is legitimately the best bloody thing I've ever heard from a *"One Man Band"*, cover or not, this is amazing and you deserve an infinitely higher amount of credit for this.
Watching this video of Leo growing up, it struck me how all of his decisions led to a guy in Norway entertaining a guy in small town USA and neither of us have to leave our homes for it. Glad things worked out this way.
It's amazing to know that english isn't even your first language, yet you teach yourself the lyric and how to communicate with us all. You sir are amazing.
I Love cover songs, and since Coolio passed away a week ago, I've been searching UA-cam for covers of Gangster's Paradise. I just now discovered this version. It and the cover by Battery are my two top favourites! THANKS FOR KEEPING IT GANGSTA!
am i only the only person that thinks this bloke is one of the most talented musicians i have heard to date i know they are covers buts its basicly only same lyrics and the rhythm as if to say just enough so in your head you go yep thats... song lol been going through his videos for bout an hour now keeps amazing me
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain But that's just perfect for an Amish like me You know, I shun fancy things like electricity At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
I LOVE THIS GUY'S MUSIC!!!! So much talent in one person. Leo, you are an amazing talent and I want to thank you for taking music to another level for me!!!!!
+Travis Pietkiewicz Yes...although I found it more whiny than aggressive, which is too bad, since excess testosterone is kind of a necessity for rap-metal.
I am a new subscriber and I have got to give you props. You are extremely talented at both playing, singing, mixing, and editing. When you add your sense of humor to it it is the cherry on top. Finally, the fact that you respond to people's comments and seem to be always positive is the final reason I plan to stay subscribed. It is very rare to find someone so talented yet humble and well spoken. Also I love the fact that you chose family over going out on the road. Keep up the great work. New Fan from Texas... Cover Request - Faith No More - Epic
Honestly the greatest gife I could get if for someone as talented as yourself to check out some of my work and comment. An AI Story, Hellraisers, Mom's Alright to name a few. Take care and again love your work
Bow down before the god of metal covers! But seriously though the amount of talent it takes to do this is insane i fucking love his voice too, honestly i like his version of so many of these songs he does im buying his albums tbh and dude if you're reading this you're absolutely fucking awesome and dont let anyone tell you different
Cover "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" CCR please... Or at least "Fortunate Son", I would drag my balls through a football field of rusty fishhooks just to hear/see what your style could turn those tracks into... Thanks in advance...
Leo, I have always wanted to start a cover band and I can honestly say that I have not been disappointed by a single song you chose to cover my brother from another mother :)
Kickass cover dude!!! A few suggestions that I hope you consider... Dean Martin-ain't that a kick in the head Natasha bedingfield-pocket full of sunshine Seal-kiss from a rose Katy perry-E.T. Eminem-lose yourself
Can you add Bob Marley's- three little birds and House of Pain's- jump around to the list of considered songs. I would buy those covers in a freakin heartbeat!!!!
Pissed off now knowing hes been around for awhile and im just now hearing it. My new favorite artist!!! Been listening to all of these songs non stop. I drive for work and my entire Playlist is now Leo
Hey Leo that was a really good one I absolutely love this, and also my sister loves this song I just might have to show her this, I know she will love thanks Leo for another great cover.
This song perfectly described my life this year. I had a rough life and was made even worse since earthquake destroyed my hometown and i lost everything. I tried to take my own life and i was just surviving from day to day and not living. since i met her my life came back, my strength came back and for the first time in years i was honestly happy. Thank you for making this awesome song so i can express my feelings to her through my favourite band. ❤

First time seeing this after having discovered this amazing musicians work a few years ago. Funny to see a "young" leo. I think Coolio would appreciate this!
Came here from take on me cover. I love your work!!! This is amazing too. One thing I miss about music (especially rap/hip hop) from back then is how interchangeable and workable/malleable it was, this sounds just as good as a metal track. Hope all is well and you're still shredding!
Leo, been spending Easter marathon on your videos! You're an amazing role model to metal heads around the world. Hard working, a devoted husband and doting father! I hope your future is golden! You deserve it! You're a champ! Great sense of humour, creativity and multi talented!
Ah, the beautiful contradiction of the word "Gangsta" being death-metal growled... this is another favourite, thank you for making a genuinely catchy rap (and I don't say that lightly) into an absolutely titanic tune! :)
I've been listening to you for 4 years now but I just found this cover. Dude you're fuckn awesome! You never cease to amaze me. Much love from Dallas Texas Oct 2022
Mate, I can’t explain how big the impact was when I listened to my first song of you. Such brilliant pieces of art! Can’t get enough. Keep it up man, instant bought all your songs and hope getting more of it! 😎🤟🏼 So many years without your songs, I still can’t believe it! Metal Love to Norway ♥️
+Anthony Ridgway First thing I thought when this came on too. In my head I can't hear anything but "As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain..."
*Sees video title* "Ok how can you possibly make this song sound metal? It's so slow and calm" *Song starts* "AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH I TAKE A LOOK AT MY LIFE AND REALIZE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!!" "Welp. That's how."
Hello from Germany, thanks for your shared (coveer-)music here on youtube. Personally, you keep me motivating for keeping up with playing music on guitar. You can sing, play guitar, bass and drums like a real hero for me. I thank God that you exist and cover so much good songs, which I think you really loved them aswell, otherwise, you wouldnt couver them with such a soul and the the right output into heavy metal! You have a good understanding of how and why music is and was made. You are a great musician and are a really great inspiration for me. At work, i allways have my 2nd guitar with me, so i play and sing a little bit at breaks.. You love music, you show your love to the music and you make me (and many other persons aswells!) feel really happy when you show it here. Sorry for my bad english! Keep up your real GREAT WORK!!!! Sincerly and with most respect to you - M-oi-kahl / >Philipp !! Sorry maybe for my bad english, im native german "You simply the best!"
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I love them all but showing your life growing up and seeing your family makes you a real person not just another person in UA-cam keep it up man!

Well depends if u are a hip hop or metal fan
@@rangercz6524 I've been in the hip hop culture for most of my life but I kinda find this version better
This is legitimately the best bloody thing I've ever heard from a *"One Man Band"*, cover or not, this is amazing and you deserve an infinitely higher amount of credit for this.

Me: yes
Leo asked Pete Cotrell the same thing... the answer?
Does it make a sound?
Trick question.
I play EVERY instrument.
The riffs were sick, one of the best covers done by Leo imo

Metal dads are the best dads

Add 4 years on top of yours ! 😅
Watching this video of Leo growing up, it struck me how all of his decisions led to a guy in Norway entertaining a guy in small town USA and neither of us have to leave our homes for it.
Glad things worked out this way.
It's been three hours now that I lied to myself with "ok just another one."
I know, right! Haha!👍
That is me right now. I just discovered him.
LOL
I'm doing a marathon right now
Once you pop you can't stop, apparently
After so many years, this is still my absolute favorite cover EVER
You are the reason I open UA-cam these days! keep up
The Pictures from your youth.. That was classy and perfect!!! Shows people you are the REAL deal!
It's amazing to know that english isn't even your first language, yet you teach yourself the lyric and how to communicate with us all.

THANKS FOR KEEPING IT GANGSTA!
By far my favorite metal cover of this song
I like the Falling in Reverse one better tbh but this one's still good
Dude your work is awesome...
+Carlos Fernandez Thanks Carlos!
+Frog Leap Studios from venezuela, cheers... your work is inspiring...
+ulfr riorwa leer tranquilamente y encontrarte otro venezolano :D y que de paso sabe ingles X.x
Dude, I have never seen any one person with so much musical talent. Everything you cover is Gold, no wait it's Platinum!!!
am i only the only person that thinks this bloke is one of the most talented musicians i have heard to date i know they are covers buts its basicly only same lyrics and the rhythm as if to say just enough so in your head you go yep thats... song lol been going through his videos for bout an hour now keeps amazing me
I agree!
No (you're not the only one ^^).
this is the channel that is capable of turning trash into gold
Although this song was gold to begin with
So he transformed this song into clear diamonds🤣
I was about to show you these fists but luckily you aren't one of those metal elitists who think only metal is good music haha
2019 and still rockin this as my ringtone
this man honestly has a mind for music to recreate so many songs I know in a form I love. he needs his own Pandora station
this channel is his pandora station
I agree
This was awesome, but it makes wonder, is he capable....of doing the same with Amish Paradise?
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
nice xD
That's the lyrics to Weird Al Yankovic's parody of gangster's paradise...lol
+Isaiah Thomas No shit sherlock...
+Joe Schnebly Honestly I was thinking this dude reminds me a lot of weird al LOL!

Like his interpretations or not, you cannot deny this man loves music.
Alright! This is also among my favs from you! \m/ Loved the little picture timeline of your musical career and your life! you're awesome!

been spending most our lives living in an amish paradise
IncrediblyRadiatedGuy 9000 omg yes😂😂
Nice weird Al reference
i KNOW you shun fancy things... like EE lectricity!
I churned butter once or twice, living in an Amish paradise.
No stop that parody dead hahah
Ever heard falling in reverses cover? It's pretty good as well.
+Travis Pietkiewicz Yeah its pretty sick aha!
I like F.I.R but hated Ronnies version. This one however is amazing.
Michael Brinkerhoff yussss
+Travis Pietkiewicz Yes...although I found it more whiny than aggressive, which is too bad, since excess testosterone is kind of a necessity for rap-metal.
+Travis Pietkiewicz leo's cover is better in my opinion
Still one of my top favorite Leo covers! Amazing!
This guy is a gift to humankind 🤟

James Jackson Thanks James, appreciate your kind words!
I can totally dig this. So many covers on this song, in different genres, Coolio would be proud!
Sonic movie trailer needs this version... And a new Sonic design. Awesome cover!
This would be for a Shadow movie trailer.
Well they at least got the latter
This guy is awesome. Takes good songs and makes them even better!
Back in the day, I loved this song. You made it better. Because METAL.
This has a great combination of grunge and nu metal styles.
I can’t believe how good the cover is! Spent 17 days in quarantine recovering from COVID-19 and your videos were wow wonderful! Thank you Leo!
This was awesome, but it makes wonder, is he capable....of doing the same with Amish Paradise?

Indeed. Don't we all love Weird Al
Amish is a way of living. Heavy Metal is a State Of Mind !!!! YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH
ROCK ON LEO !!
It's called the "Weird Al" Yankovic Effect...
Metal music with Leo is 🔥

Cover "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" CCR please... Or at least "Fortunate Son", I would drag my balls through a football field of rusty fishhooks just to hear/see what your style could turn those tracks into... Thanks in advance...
Awesome covers man, and metal usually even isn't my thing, so that says something. You keep the soul of the original songs intact that well!
Literally the only channel iv subscribed to. Guy is very creative from the song to the video
Pretty sure the whole world knows not to mess with Norwegian gangsters. They are the most badass.

Leo, I have always wanted to start a cover band and I can honestly say that I have not been disappointed by a single song you chose to cover my brother from another mother :)
I still listening years before of the first time and you make me feel like in these days , this is quality content !!! ❤
I've wondered about a metal version of this song. Leo makes it and he nails it.
Yep my thoughts :D
Your covers kick so much ass, truly an honor to listen to your craft🤟
I'm happy that this metal cover has clear vocals
Please please sing run to the hills iron maiden!!!!
TheLastQueenie Steam queen great song that is.
Love that song, first Maiden song I learned on bass (Steve Harris is a metal bass god)
Kickass cover dude!!! A few suggestions that I hope you consider...
Dean Martin-ain't that a kick in the head
Natasha bedingfield-pocket full of sunshine
Seal-kiss from a rose
Katy perry-E.T.
Eminem-lose yourself
Can you add Bob Marley's- three little birds and House of Pain's- jump around to the list of considered songs. I would buy those covers in a freakin heartbeat!!!!
BudMagic1 Don't forget "What shall we do with a drunken Sailor" :)
BudMagic1 limp bizkit did cover on jump around, long time ago
I would love for him to do Prince's "When Doves Cry"
Pissed off now knowing hes been around for awhile and im just now hearing it. My new favorite artist!!! Been listening to all of these songs non stop. I drive for work and my entire Playlist is now Leo

Hey Leo that was a really good one I absolutely love this, and also my sister loves this song I just might have to show her this, I know she will love thanks Leo for another great cover.
Cool, hope I didnt ruin it for her:)

do u really live in the gangsters paradise
+Lucas Lawz Hehe, does it look like that?
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Norway is truly a gangster's paradise. Especially down south.
I´ve been years watching Leo´s videos and just discovered he did this cover, holy shit
This man NEVER disappoints!
Exactly what the sonic movie trailer was missing
To be honest Cgi-Sonic looked bad too.
Still kinda hyped
Agreed m8, agreed
someone recut that trailer as the japanese dub and it actually looks good
That reminds me of crush 40
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
‘Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool, I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light
Keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
And my homies are down, so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
I'm 23 now, will I live to see 24?
The way things is going I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin'
It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front; that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!
Keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see

One thing I miss about music (especially rap/hip hop) from back then is how interchangeable and workable/malleable it was, this sounds just as good as a metal track. Hope all is well and you're still shredding!

Mate, I can’t explain how big the impact was when I listened to my first song of you. Such brilliant pieces of art! Can’t get enough.
Keep it up man, instant bought all your songs and hope getting more of it! 😎🤟🏼
So many years without your songs, I still can’t believe it! Metal Love to Norway ♥️
Can you please do a cover of some of Weird Al's parodies of the songs you've already covered?
I need to see Leo dressed up in Amish garb, please.
+Anthony Ridgway First thing I thought when this came on too. In my head I can't hear anything but "As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain..."
*Sees video title*
"Ok how can you possibly make this song sound metal? It's so slow and calm"
*Song starts*
"AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH I TAKE A LOOK AT MY LIFE AND REALIZE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!!"
"Welp. That's how."
This was awesome, but it makes wonder, is he capable....of doing the same with Amish Paradise?
how have I never seen this before!?

It's pop musik. Real rock is amish paradise
you don't even know how to define a genre of music so stop judging shit. no doubt you clicked to listen not start shit

Hello From The USA
wow yall really know how to pick the right songs to hit me with
The most amazing part of this is that this is so hardcore that I don't hear Amish Paradise while listening to it.

Hello from Germany,
thanks for your shared (coveer-)music here on youtube. Personally, you keep me motivating for keeping up with playing music on guitar. You can sing, play guitar, bass and drums like a real hero for me. I thank God that you exist and cover so much good songs, which I think you really loved them aswell, otherwise, you wouldnt couver them with such a soul and the the right output into heavy metal! You have a good understanding of how and why music is and was made.
You are a great musician and are a really great inspiration for me. At work, i allways have my 2nd guitar with me, so i play and sing a little bit at breaks.. You love music, you show your love to the music and you make me (and many other persons aswells!) feel really happy when you show it here. Sorry for my bad english! Keep up your real GREAT WORK!!!! Sincerly and with most respect to you - M-oi-kahl / >Philipp !!
Sorry maybe for my bad english, im native german
"You simply the best!"
I love this! You are so freaking talented! Thank you!
The internet is great
This rocks! Like it more than the original.
+jparecki95 FOR PORN!
+jparecki95 YES SIR!
Haven't heard any of your stuff that I didn't like!! Still trying to think of a cover request - how about Duran Duran? heehee
Yeah!!!! Rio by Leo (pardon the rhyme) would be outstanding...and heavy as shit! 😁
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I love them all but showing your life growing up and seeing your family makes you a real person not just another person in UA-cam keep it up man!
Subscribed, great, awesome cover!.
