Bro. This man straight up created custom timing for the lyrics that had a perfect speed up and slow down and worked perfectly for the refrain. Absolutely amazing.
Somehow it gives me that same feeling that the actual Mr Brightside gives me. Ignoring the pain that builds up inside until you have to scream behind your smiling mask
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973exactly, but it's much less "bottle up the depression until I cry", and much more "bottle up the rage until I grab the gun".
The only problem I have with this outstanding thing is that the lyrics you'd assume would rhythm but then don't in the OG song- the "and my stomach is sick, and she's touching his-- CHESSSST" doesn't quite work the same way in this version. Other than that, this is SO GOOD lol
Have not heard a lot of covers lately, but are AI covers becoming a normal occurrence now? Have not heard too much about it, although I've heard a lot about AI evolving in other fields and slowly taking jobs.
@@bok4822 oh yeah there are tons of them, stuff like Bobby Hill doing I got 5 On It, that one is a pretty fun listen as are many others. But generally they are full of weird artifacts and I'd prefer YTP style for that kind of thing.
@@peep3213 basing on his other videos alone his vocalizations are always on point, they sound exactly like the lead thats supposed to sing them, so its safe to assume that its got processing.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a concept as outrageous as this being brought to life. Superb execution! You definitely got something special brewing here.
The verses match perfectly with how how Serj and Daron would harmonize their vocals. The depressing way "Serj" said Mr. Brightside is sick! Good job man
I simply can't get over just how damn good this is - absolutely freaking nailed it! I was put off Mr Brightside by association with a breakup, this actually cured me and I can't get enough of it.

Wow! I am just amazed. Your voice, music creativity, guitar playing, audio mastering, harmonic layering, etc. This sounds so good! You are incredible! Don't get me started on how the drums fit so well! They are so groovy, yet they don't steal your attention from the rest of the music. I can't describe how awesome this is! Amazing! Thank you for the music
I have shared this video so many times with people. This was not something my friends and I expected nor knew we needed in our lives but holy hell is it beautiful!!!! Having seen them live, you did a very spot on cover; reminds me of them so much. Great job! :)
Thank you for bringing truly great content, listening to all of your videos is like tapping into a parallel universe and listening to your fav bands releasing alternative songs the whatif’s of rock !! ❤
Man, this is such incredibly high effort and quality content. You even cut and moved some lyrics, changed the timings... It's such an absolute pleasure to listen to. Well done.
Found a you on a Facebook short! This is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! Took a tune I can’t stand and made it into something that it’s a thing of beauty! Smashed it mate!
As someone who loves both The Killers and SOAD, I really dig this unique version. Looking forward to diving into your other content. In the meantime, have my subscription.
Bro i never thought id ever put one of these many tracks i see by youtube creators on to a personal playlist. thats awesome and from what i see and hear youve mastered your trade
Bro this is badass dude. I came across your tiktok and I just HAD to look for your YT channel for the full cover. This fuckin slaps dude. Rock on brother 😎😎
"This is gonna be cursed" he says before creating some of the most blessed audio I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
No, you're gay
The irony😂
Holy shit man. Just holy shit.
Right?!
Fucking epic not cursed
"Hey dude whats you're favorite music right now?
Me: ".... its a long story"
HAHA
i relate
Same 😂
This is absolutely amazing. If there was a "If System of a Down wrote" album, I would fucking buy it. System of a brain stew was also phenomenal.
Same does he do more soad style videos??
Seriously I need more of this
Absolutely without a doubt same here. If Mac decides to compile an album and sell it I would most certainly be all for it.
I can’t wait for a system stew album 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
moonic production did several covers and made an album in the style of system you should check it out it's great
God the "I'm Miser Brightside" in Serj's voice is so haunting
It's the best
yeah what the hell???? I came here off a track of meme songs mashing up Chop Suey! with dumb shit and instead I get like Aerials-level emotion
@BepisJones Patrician taste.
"This is gonna be cursed" > casually makes best SOAD song in years
*of all times. And I even like them! 😅
Yeah wtf I love SOAD and this slaps harder than my drunk stepdad😂
@@i-love-comountains3850broooo
@@i-love-comountains3850 ...Damn. Nice one.
Hard not to bet the best song in years when it's the only song in years 🥲
Him: "this is gonna be cursed".
Me, one second into the song: "instant banger".
The bit where he changes tone to sing the words "Mr Brightside"
Such an impactful choice to do, awesomeness.
This was what sealed the authenticity
It really feels like a soad song, and I've heard every single song from them
@@redrage369 I've heard 3 soad songs.. And I agree. =)
Daron vocal handoff to serj
I read this, the second time he did it came up right after, and I legit got a weird chill down my spine
if jealousy makes you depressed instead of anxious, this captures it.
You nailed the feeling like he nailed this song 🤘

@@SerociaYes! That subversion of expectations is my favorite part of the OG song.
The "I'm Mister Brightside" gave me goosebumps 🥹
In a world filled with cheap, low effort AI covers, I'm glad there's still people like you putting out amazing covers like this. Keep it up, man.
Have not heard a lot of covers lately, but are AI covers becoming a normal occurrence now?
Have not heard too much about it, although I've heard a lot about AI evolving in other fields and slowly taking jobs.
@@bok4822haven’t come across a single one personally
I dunno, man, Metallica skidibi was pretty good

This is like dipping french fries in a milkshake.
The thought of it is cursed, but then you try it..
This is probably my favorite song now 😅
Next you gotta try Chicken nuggets in Chocolate Pudding. Fire Fam. Its FIRE.
coarse salt + olive oil + vanilla ice cream. I think it also had star anise or summin’, whatever herb it was that tastes like licorice.
@@oscaranderson5719 bacon + vanilla ice cream also works :)
@@Micras08 fax. also man, these’re all just a basic sweet + savory combo when you think about it.
Bacon and chocolate ice cream, too... But not _too_ chocolatey... Lol @@Micras08
A more than commendable job of emulating Serj's vocal style. A+
He's good at serj's style
Screams sound like his version of Daron too hahaha this is so sick.
Sounds more like Daron not much serj. But serj is one of a kind
Singing style serj
Screaming style daron
" this is gonna be cursed" at the beginning is basically Mac warning us a banger is incoming
This guy is the embodiment of those fleeting "what-if" thoughts about impossible musical crossovers - but he actually brings them to life.
This guy is literally one man banding ‘Pop Goes Punk’. Absolutely love the covers!
Your vocal and instrumental flexibility is really impressive. Another job well done!
the vocals are heavily procesed though, moreover seems like there's AI as well
What's wrong with either of that? @@sunnsetshorts
@@sunnsetshorts Is that just an assumption or do you have some sort of proof for AI?
@@sunnsetshortseven if that’s the case this is still wildly impressive.
@@peep3213 basing on his other videos alone his vocalizations are always on point, they sound exactly like the lead thats supposed to sing them, so its safe to assume that its got processing.
0:27 WOW. Those vocals floored me!!!
This needs to be on Spotify like ASAP so I can binge it for 3 weeks straight
That legit went hard. What a banger!
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a concept as outrageous as this being brought to life. Superb execution! You definitely got something special brewing here.
why is this so good? i cant stop listening, i need to do other things with my life
What a treat, you have a gift. I feel like I just got the opportunity to listen to “new” SOAD material in the most classic SOAD style.
This right alongside the guy who played Chop Suey by punching a speedbag are my two favourite niche UA-cam discoveries ✨
*IF SOAD WROTE SMASH MOUTH - ALL STAR*
This. Absolutely this.
Yo this needs to be done
It's already been done lol ua-cam.com/video/l1N82O1zeLg/v-deo.html
he kinda done it a week ago
""That was TOTALLY WICKED!"
-Rusty (bubblegum kid) from the Incredibles
Ha! Perfect quote.
Also, didn't know he had a name lol
The verses match perfectly with how how Serj and Daron would harmonize their vocals. The depressing way "Serj" said Mr. Brightside is sick! Good job man
Holy Crap man. Your interpretations of these requests are insane. Very well done
I never realised I needed this until I had it
The creativity of people never ceases to amaze me, fantastic job!
“Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it.”
Bro you are incredibly talented it almost brings a tear to my eye
1:48 captures systems vibe so perfectly that hearing it restored my long lost interest in their music
The transitions into bridge and chorus were off the charts stellar.
This deserves to be in an actual SOAD album, it's just perfect.
Now I want them to make a full cover album. Just for fun. If Dragonforce can cover My Heart Will go on, SOAD can cover something like this.
Holy fuck that slaps so hard great job dude you absolutely nailed the vocal style both in terms of sound as well as timing and tempo.
not only are the vocals incredible but the screaming is also spot on!
no seriously more! more "if system of a down wrote" because this was a F***ING BANGER!
Dude... im in love with this masterpiece,this is so sick,listening this for hours,do more "if SOAD wrote"...🙌🏻
I simply can't get over just how damn good this is - absolutely freaking nailed it! I was put off Mr Brightside by association with a breakup, this actually cured me and I can't get enough of it.
Lyrics:
Coming out of my cage
And I'm doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
But she’s touching his chest
and he takes off her dress
and he takes off her dress
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage
And I'm doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
But she’s touching his chest
and he takes off her dress
and he takes off her dress
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I needed this. such a masterpiece. Thanks for posting the way the lyrics would have been wrote. Helped me.
This should be top comment
Thank you mate!
d'oh! Thanks for posting the lyrics. All of this time I thought it was "open up my eagle eyes"
Not that my comment is any different then any of the others but dude your mash ups are so sick
This is the most fun I've had on UA-cam in a minute. Badass man
I have to offer my gratitude, you have entertained me and you are a very talented artist. I especially love your SOAD work!
This is honestly one of the best things I've heard in a while!
SPOT fucking ON
too immaculate
Wow! I am just amazed. Your voice, music creativity, guitar playing, audio mastering, harmonic layering, etc. This sounds so good! You are incredible! Don't get me started on how the drums fit so well! They are so groovy, yet they don't steal your attention from the rest of the music. I can't describe how awesome this is! Amazing! Thank you for the music
First time seeing this channel and this is was unexpectedly phenomenal.
Dang. These covers u do are so good..keep em comin!
Dude this is fucking incredible. I'm creating a playlist of all your Not-SOAD songs.
It's the new System of a Down album that we're never going to get
I really like your vocal technique, it also really sounds like 2010's Serj singing this classic by The Killers!
I have shared this video so many times with people. This was not something my friends and I expected nor knew we needed in our lives but holy hell is it beautiful!!!! Having seen them live, you did a very spot on cover; reminds me of them so much. Great job! :)
Came from tiktok, ride this wave bro you deserve it!
Same. Best thing I’ve seen today
💯 same here! ❤
Same! Needed the full version. So we’ll done!
…iFunny lmao
Also here from tik tok hell yea 🤘
Beautiful, thank you, man
This is better than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you for bringing truly great content, listening to all of your videos is like tapping into a parallel universe and listening to your fav bands releasing alternative songs the whatif’s of rock !! ❤
This is so well done, man. 🤘🏻🥀 the “cause I’m mister brightside” was FUCKING perfect.
I’m going down the rabbit hole on the channel but holy crap all of these are hits! I’d literally listen to these in the car!
Man, this is such incredibly high effort and quality content. You even cut and moved some lyrics, changed the timings... It's such an absolute pleasure to listen to. Well done.
Who else starting screaming "FATHER (father)" in their heads at 2:20
Yes
Hands down, one of the best what if covers I've ever heard. You have outdone yourself sir!
it was perfect, perfect. Everything done to the last minute details!
Yooooo is this on Spotify? This is soooo awesome dude. Keep up the great work man!
Ok I wasn't expecting that voice. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that. Damn
Dude. That’s so awesome. You mastered that kind of covers. I love the stuff you do.
That is so on point. From the dirty fast lyrics and screams to the atmospheric chorus.
Found a you on a Facebook short! This is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! Took a tune I can’t stand and made it into something that it’s a thing of beauty! Smashed it mate!
Love this cover!
Absolutely a fkn banger, I hope you are proud of yourself for doing this!! 🤘🏻
Yo why is the the hardest shit I’ve heard all year
We need a studio version of this curse.
As someone who loves both The Killers and SOAD, I really dig this unique version.
Looking forward to diving into your other content.
In the meantime, have my subscription.
I love this!
As a hardcore SOAD fan, I do feel like there needs to be more pitch variation in the chorus, but I enjoyed the cover regardless!
It reminds me of their self titled album honestly
I felt like it needed to pick up and go double time but otherwise its damn near perfect.
And more prominent backup vocals
I want to fund an album by this guy
Can't nobody do Serj but Serj, but with that being said, he did a very good job. I love it.
I've watched a few of these videos, but this is the one. This got me to slap that subscribe button. I don't do that very often. Well done!
Saw the short and came to see the full version. If Serj didn't have such a distinct voice, i would believe they did this. Amazing!
Truly enjoyed this. Thank you for creating something I didn't know I needed
honestly this was not cursed i love SOAD and you did both songs justice here
subbed. incredible talent
How tf do you have such a small follower’s bro ur amazing. Huge talent to sing like that !!!
The glock flock is growing very slowly but surely. Welcome and thank you 🤘
This goes sooo hard, and you have so many videos! subscribed
This clapped my cheeks and paid for the cab ride home afterwards. Class act! 🤘
😂😂😂🎉🎉
That was.....AMAZING!
2 of my favorite things and you kept them both good. Thank you
So this was unexpectedly absolute fire, well done buddy!
Bro i never thought id ever put one of these many tracks i see by youtube creators on to a personal playlist. thats awesome and from what i see and hear youve mastered your trade

Holy blessed music, Dude! This is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard! Awesome job
Bro this is badass dude. I came across your tiktok and I just HAD to look for your YT channel for the full cover. This fuckin slaps dude. Rock on brother 😎😎
Man you crushed it! Love the shirt too. Need more if CKY/96BB versions of songs
I keep coming back..... Serj needs to react to this
Most underrated channel I have ever seen! I will share it with all my friends! Kudos my guy!
wubby7 god damn this sounds amazing
This is so fucking amazing. I don't have words for how awesome this is.
So refreshing to hear talent. So many ai sounds nowadays. Freaking badass 🔥🖤🔥
that's incredible! Mac, you are amazingly talented, loving how you capture each band so perfectly!
Tool doing fireflies from Owl City has potential. It’s crazy what you can do, glad I came across your work!
Oh my god this is fantastic! I expected to go 'oh neat' but I was blown away, very well done!
I can see Serj dancing to this
Dude, these rewrites you do are SO fuckin good. Serious kudos!!
This might as well be a canon SOAD track. It's amazingly produced!
You portrayed this so nicely. Like it actually sounds like what they would of done with this song 👏🏻
System of a Down is amazing and this guy nailed it!
This absolutely kills. Thanks for putting this together!
