it's a jam.
hahaha
Hey you are that guy with a UA-cam channel love you bro
I wish I could tell you to do Melodicka Bros as a style but I dunno what you'd choose.
@@JadeJoules Goes you could say it's gonna be.... complicated... Ok I'll show myself out.
No u❤️
I play bass in Avril’s band. I’ll start learning this version for the next tour! 🎶🎶
Hey Matt! Let us know what Avril thinks of this 😂
@@MelodickaBros could be nice !
now this was cool
Wah cool
This reminds me of the time where Katy Perry's band played a brief part from Cygnus X-1 towards the end of a set.
This is a good one
Yo! Love your vids!
Agree!
If Jonathan Young says this is a good one, *then this is a good one. A good one, indeed.*
Hiii! :D
You don’t say
ok now you're talking my language.
Your language, but in a bit more complicated way x)
Their name is polyrythms, for they are many.
ft Halocene? or like ft Lauren Babic ;p
they should make prog metal covers as a permanent style like the "cyberpunk", "acoustic" and "way to happy" covers
Yeeeah! You're here haha.
What music do you listen to?
Me: "It's complicated..."
-Oh dont worry, i understand wierd music
-I think you are not understanding me...
ahhhh i just want to write this kind of comment XD
So true 😍
"Oh, Avril? I like that song too!"
This meme has reached it's peak.
"Prog Metal"
*video length about 5 minutes*
*doubt*
How long are prog metal songs usually?
The structure fits. Key changes and harmonic language help a bit as well.
@@ArielEduardoAlba I know, they did a great job with it, just playing off the stereotype :)
@@isaachess9356 somewhere between 'Stinkfist' and 'Octavarium'
That was my first thought too!
3:29 Avril Lavigne's Complicated sung over double bass quintuplets... Something I never thought I'd hear
Now do Avenge Sevenfold's "Almost Easy" and make it sound... well almost easy
That's a good one 🤣
So... leave it just like the original one?
Boiiiii. Jajajjaja
@@landins443 the solo isnt almost easy lol, but the rythm yeah is almost easy
Let's make a parody of that song about eggs and call it "Over Easy"
can't be prog metal, it's less than 12min long
And no flute or violin.
Is melotron popular in prog metal or is it just a Steven Wilson thing?
@@fasolcia25 it was fairly popular in the "original" progressive rock scene. I don't know many modern examples of bands that use it apart from Porcupine Tree tho
You forgot about the 4 minutes guitar/keyboard battle solo
Complicated Pt 1: The Sk8terboi and the Poser.
"Bro, which of these several needlessly complicated arrangements should we use for this song?"
"Yes."
Needlessly? never heard of it
But..but..but.......musical complication is what I live for :(
So did you hate it or what?
@@TroublezAhead00 who could ever hate the Melodicka Bros?
@@nikytamayo Just checking lol.
fuck yea
This song is so complex it's notes have an imaginary part
Ah math nerd right there
√i see what you did there.
That first verse has a strong feeling of a flight of stairs with one less step than expected.
POETRY
Yup, thats basically 7/8
Joe's obvious distress at the syncopation is a mood
I don't think most people realize the sheer genius of the chord progressions and the timings... this is incredible, I'm a huge Avril Lavigne fan and this blew me away
I wonder if youtube algorithm still recognizes the song as a cover.
To everyone making fun of Avril Lavigne, just remember her divorce was hard. She didn't get a Nickleback.
69 likes.. #perfectlybalanced
She got a nickel instead of a sum of $41
Underrated comment right here 👏
That comment payed off!
@joseph ka just shut up, please
When people come over unannounced,
And you try to dress your prog song up like it's something else.
So its... acting like its somebody else?
The fact the singing is in 4/4 keeps everything else complicated, love it!
"If you're not on patreon, that means that you're not on patreon. And if you're not on patreon, join our patreon. So that you could be on patreon." :D
Guitar solo was gorgeous btw
That smile when he nailed his riff made my morning.
You can tell that was probably take 101
This is amazing, but I need Adam Neely to explain to me exactly why this is so amazing.
Adam: you see... (long pause)
... it's complicated. (makes twenty minute video for a four minute song.)
Not quite enough little cartoon elephants. I'll also need 12tone to explain to me why this is so amazing.
how dare you say things that are entirely true !?!?!?!?!?
Repetition Legitimizes.. Repetition Legitimizes.. Repetition Legitimizes
Just play the lick and he'll appear
Lmao!!! Love this, dudes \m/
Hey prog metal guy
i'll never forgive you for insulting Nirvana.
Was gonna suggest this for SSF next week. Guess not anymore...
That... was complicated. I mean... you sure as hell delivered what you promised
This: makes song much more musically complex than the original
Song: "Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?"
Lol
One of the things I enjoyed with Weird Al's "A Complicated Song" is that while he doesn't do anything to the music he pokes fun by rewriting the refrain every verse. Or maybe it's the chorus. Music's technical terms are kind of vague in my head, assuming they're recognized at all.
lol
the song it's good without the vocals, it just doesn't match
I have never felt both quite so validated and attacked at the same time.
*Teacher* : The test isn't that complicated, don't worry
*The test* :
I'm a pretty huge Avril Lavigne fan (been there since 2002 for her), and honestly, this is the first good cover I have heard of complicated in a long time. Good job guys. :)
Why does this work SO well!?
most genres have their own style of writing, but you it acts more like something that goes around the lyrics, giving the "vibes". so playing with the musicality of stuff changes the feel of it a little, but will almost always work :)
Either you're smart enough to understand prog metal, or Melodicka Bros is just genius, could be both
Because they are good musicians
There's so much shenanigans in the arrangement that the main melody doesn't make much difference.
I think you did this mainly out of the pun but... damn I would buy a whole album of complicated covers like this!
was overwhelmed by the complexity until i started bopping with it, and then it all clicked. friggin awesome
The Mozart + Periphery in the background gets me every time
"If you're not on pedron that means you're not on pedron"
That hit my feels dude
"why you have to make it so complicated?"
because skillzzz and prog
My wife from the other room: "Dear lord what is that noise?!"
Me: Its...uh ...complicated
I love the fact I can actually hear the different bands influence in the song. Some Opeth, some Dream Theater, some Primus... Amazing, guys! Thank you so much for this
The dislike is from someone that makes things complicated.
True
Felt that
Bro, this is pure genius. Tbh, I think this needs to be an entire series in itself
+1
Id love to see more songs in this style!!! I'm in love with this one
Definitely!
most sophisticatedly complicated song ever! Kudos!
You can see they had a lot of fun with this one, being able to introduce a bunch of different ideas into a single song. They made the dullest pop rock song ever into a quite fascinating piece.
This is honestly probably the best showcase of your musical abilities yet... I knew you could shred while progging!
You are just incredible. I can't believe how natural sound your songs/reworks/covers (I don't know which is best description of them) played in such many different styles and genres.
This is absolutely outstanding. I just want to keep listening to it--standard earworm pop song has its foundation torn out and replaced with an Escherian courtyard of entertaining prog tropes, while losing none of its vocal catchiness. Thank you for birthing this, M-Bros.
Guys. While I was istening to this some one more time I get why I turning back to this video again and again, usuallyonce per month. It's like a good movie with clear main melody, action script, intriguing, culmination and release. It is literally perfect.
I really love all your prog covers but this one is masterpiece.
For those that didnt watch until the end: "See you next time, which is right now."
If only you guys could make a cover of every song ever, yesterday.
You'd replace my entire music library.
My fav cover of this song ♥ :D
the intro itself deserves a like
Sh-Should I say it?
...
..proggers
More songs need this treatment!!
Yes please
Yeah, please say YES (roundabout starts playing the background)
All the songs need this treatment.
Prog champ
Oh man once it hits 3:17 I fell in love, and then again at 3:42. I want another cover done in the style of those two styles combined. So good!
BANGER
From someone who was a 13 year old girl discovering Dream Theatre in 2004, thank you.
holy. It is complex but the complexity is well executed and doesn't hurt the song but complements it.
That was... complicated.
Bloody hell. The 7/8 timing and all the twists are brilliant!
You guys are explaining Prog Rock through popular songs! Your minds are beautifully focused to create these sonic movements!
Well, I didn't expect to have an Avril Lavigne song stuck in my head for probably the rest of the month, but here we go, I guess.
Me: I don't like this song.
Song gets covered by them.
Me: Love it!
Oh how tf can u not like avril
Something is wrong with u
@@CooReZZ Mainstream, problems, probably.
I've never regretted leaving pop for rock and industrial.
You don't like Avril?????
@@thefaultinourstars8729 🤷
Mozart and Periphery on the piano. Precious
Joe is amazing!
- What genre should we make this arrangement in?
- ALL OF THEM!
That's prog definition right there
Prog do be like that.
< That is complicated!
> Yes!!!
This is prog all the way through, hahahahaha. Prog is just a varied genre.
@@iurigrang yeah, not complaining, was just pointing out number of genre tropes that appear throughout the arrangement - which is what makes it a fun listening experience for me :)
+Melodicka Bros
sound of silence way too loud
Yes
oh no.. make it into a trap song with all effects rolling on the same time..
Yes. Sound of Silence, Wall of Sound Cover
Noise version.
There's the Disturbed version already... You can't get more bloated and loud than that
The face at 2:34 is the face of a man who finally nailed the crazy passage his brother wrote after like 800 tries.
MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!
POP GOES PROG METAL
4:40 i can't argue with that logic
That timings gave me anxiety... And I'm not someone who would easily say that... Yeah, it's... Complicated...
The subtlety of the Mozart sheet music in the background...
90s and early 2000s pop would make awesome metal versions.
I swear your outros just keep getting funnier everytime. The slight confusion, the complete nonsense, it gets me everytime XD
Awesome!
The fact that it's in 7 in the verse is all the proof I need.
Love the Periphery - Mozart combo you got there
Enjoying this cover felt like I just accidentally bumped into my 12-year-old self and we started hanging out and having a good laugh together. Weirdly delightful.
Gentlemen, THAT was absolute genius!
This is officially my favourite video on yt ever
That 7/8 time verse is tasty
Honestly this is a great arrangement.
Plenty of covers on youtube who just do a lazy (and a little worse) cover that's exactly the same as the original. BUT you guys! I'm often amazed by your creativity, but this time, it's especially true - Good job
Did I already say that this is my favorite of the moment ? I like the Dave's complicated face, I like te satisfaction of Joe and the "very good" which reminds me the vocals we made for "Africa". I like the fact that at this end of the video it doesn't seem complicated anymore... you totally mastered it.
Prog metal?
More like POG METAL!!!
...I'll see my self out now.
A terrific combination of imagination, orchestration l and massive multi instrument chops and good vocals. BRAVO
Its a bop. This is a bop for the ages.
This is LITERALLY a Twelve Foot Ninja song... that's amazing
This new Dream Theatre song is great.
With the right vocals this could easily be on the periphery juggernaut album
That Mozart and Periphery Album in the Back :D
I had high expectations when I clicked, but HOLY SHIT totally and utterly exceeded my wildest expectations. That first half of the last chorus in groups of 5, freaking amazing. Instant sub.
his voice 😻
Seriously wish I had your guy's talent. So good!
You turned a decent song into a goddamn BANGER!!! I love how well the guitar changes to the tone to the tone of the song, and it just flows so well!
i love how they go john petrucci at 2:50. capturing the essence in every second of this
god, this is f-ing good. SIMPLY good.
Somehow, this doesn't even feel like it's a cover!
The ingeniousness you guys possess is unconceivable. Not to mention the unparalleled level of skill, talent, and raw musicianship! I never get tired of you guys!
"So. What's your favorite Avril Lavigne song?"
"It's complicated..."
Proof that prog metal has its cliches, and they're all in this song.
Why that sounds a way better and cooler than an original song?! Amazing :3
She has been fighting Lyme and u say this
Wtf
@@CooReZZ i'm not interested in the background, u know. I listen to the music, the sound.
this needs a 12 minutes instrumental part
I fucking love the ending messages, there's this weird vibe of "do they know? yeeeah they know... or do they?
Its crazy that you can take a pop song and make it sound good.
