Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos.
Bunny Tyler.
Extremely well done. Almost as melodic as original, but with more power and Slayer vibes.
I think ya mean, Bonnie Tyler.
@@kaveeone It's a rabbit pun.
@@kaveeone uuh another one bites the joke...
im reallllllllllllllly mad that i didnt think of Bunny Tyler. well done.
@@ZiddersRooFurry When this song came out Bonnie was a really cute bunny...
No matter what version of this song I hear, I'm always taken back to Short Circuit 2. Johnny 5 is STILL alive!!
You know Oscar is toast when you hear it.
..and the classic scene in the John Candy movie "Who's Harry Crumb"
@@Missilechicken instant goosebumps!
Metal theme for robot we all loved (and still do) before "Uncle Bob" arrived.
That was the first time I ever heard it and I still love the song, like 30 years later
Love it and as a firefighter I really appreciate the video and the way the song fits. Thank You Leo
On Sunday 7.10.22 my family said goodbye to one of our own. He was my Uncle and was a Fire Chief of 2 departments. When asked why come out of retirement ; He said " Because I can help". He was and is always my hero. I learned about sacrifice by his actions and became a U.S. Marine. Rest easy : I have the watch. Thank you for this Leo.
kill people on a colonized country don't make you a hero...at least the last time i checc 💀💀💀
And you probably voted for Trump, the guy who emulates Mussolini and Hitler Talking points.
I get it, sort of as Fascism put's your type on a peddlestool to be used later down the road, later on they turn on their own and do whatever it takes to preserve their own selfish view of the world.
No thanks.
I do appreciate what your Uncle did though, but America was recently stuck in 1933 germany and now is back to 1932, if you don't know what that means you really need to.
@@SlayerofFiction My Uncle helped people. Did not matter the persons voting preferences. I pray that in your time of need ; it wouldn't matter to you either. GOD bless you.
@@jasoncarr551 Doesn't to me bud, not at all.
"“It is indeed an honor to be in this city, which stands as a symbol of the divisions of men on the face of the earth,” he told East Berliners. “For here on either side of the wall are God's children and no man-made barrier can obliterate that fact."
MLKjr
Now I want you think about our own wall and the rhetoric surrounding it.
All of it is the same Rhetoric the Nazi's used to persecute the Jews and Undesirables in Europe.
All of it.
I wish you the best and I apologize for a bit brash, but America is dying in a very, very dark way fast.
Thank you for your service and I think your uncle for his. God bless you soldier.
I don't need a hero, I allready have one. A Metal hero. ;)
Stolen comment
Lol
@@MrJtin69 Certainly not.
You missed the opportunity to say a "guitar hero" but now I will.
That is the most heartful feeling
I was a US Army Firefighter and let me tell you, this captures the spirit of a hero in a very real way. Wouldn't trade those days for anything. Great theme song.
Bet you regret not having this song back then lol
Thank you for your service 🙏🙏 True heros...
Thank you. FD and EMDs are truly heroes most of us don't deserve.
I was in the NSW Rural Fire Service here in Australia, and I too wouldn't trade those days for anything. Hello brother firefighter from Australia :)
@@arokh72 Hey mate! Bloke from Victoria here, just wanted to say thank you for your service to fighting these horrible fires of ours! True heroes, all of you! Stay safe and healthy!
Love this dude, he takes a song i didnt mind and turnt it into a song i absolutely love! 2024 and loving every second of this song.
A fan and a retired firefighter here. this is great on so many levels.
Leo's taking Fireman to a whole new level.
That was way more awesome than I could have ever expected. I loved the extra punch at "hero". I'd love to see Bonnie Tyler's reaction to this.
Ok I can't believe my eyes and ears !!! With all the platforms to hear music from, why is this man not on every single radio station?? I'm 52 and he is the most amazing man in music in my opinion. Is there anything he can't play ? Truly the most talented musician I have seen. Thank you for your music. I'm not a country fan but you did a cover of Charlie Daniel's and it is great so if you were to do Uneasy rider that im.sure you could turn it metal.
Honestly, this song has always inspired my imagination and it’s so damn fitting for our society today. We need our heroes back.
OMG this song explains why I'm a patreon!! Such awesome song choices anyway, and we get amazing pearls on there on top! Someone invent another thumbs up button so I can give it another one!!!
The improvised vocal bridge (where it's normally an improvised guitar solo) blew my mind! This was just awesome!
This is probably the best version of this song I have ever heard and I’m for it 💯
All I'm seeing in my head is the EPIC scene in SHREK 2, where Shrek is riding Donkey and Puss to rescue Fiona. BEST scene EVER and this is a fantastic cover!
me too
The only movie memory this song should invoke is Short Circuit 2!!!! If you are too young to have seen it then I am truly sorry for you really missed out as a child.
Saints Row
Saints Row 3, Shrek 2, and Short Circuit 2 all stick in my mind, the last one being my forst experience with the song. I was really young when that came out, but I'll never forget Johnny 5 with his metal spike mohawk chasing after the villain. Amazing!
@@MrSplice893 Correction...the only memory this should invoke is Footloose.
Requesting to make a cover for "We didn't start the fire"!!! I'm not alone here who has the same wish
I totally agree. That would be awesome.
Yh that would be kl
Yes!
Phenomenal idea
Omg pleeeeeease do this, Leo!!
Loved this song since I grew up with Short Circuit lmao. Now we need this cover put to the savior mission near the end of Saints Row the Third! Incredible work once again Leo with another amazing cover!
Same! I'm in my 30s by I still tear up like a bitch when I watch that scene :D
Same here.oh child memories lol.
Me, Johnny. You, busted!
This would suit that mission so much🤣
Short Circuit was my first exposure to the song, too. In SR: The Third I was stoked to hear it and it fit so well.
That little drum set and the dancing rabbit kills me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 best cover artist ever! 👍
I wonder if his daughter ever got to play with her drum set? Sorry Honey, daddy has to shoot another music video, maybe next week.
as a german firefighter, i salute all firefighters worldwide! thank you for this wonderful cover!
Top 5 Frog leap recordings? maybe? I think that rest in the chorus makes this like 10x more badass.
Watch it 3 4 times a day since it came out
This was great! I'm a huge fan of the original and this kicks ass! \m/
Funny seeing you here cap. My wife and I watch your vids. Screw Glock lol
@@7DavesToDie Thanks David, to you and your wife :)
@@capp00 Agree 1000%
💯🔥
I think it actually kicks balls!
The Nord hit the cords, the Bunny bopped and bounced and the Frog leaped to the beat. Great cover and completely entertaining video, thanks for bringing the joy Leo. oh!, and does anyone know where I can get a bunny sidekick like this one?
i think he shows up when u rock like Leo does
Practice moar...
Furries ftw.
As someone who practically watched 'Footloose' on repeat as a kid, this cover makes me unreasonably happy lol.
This song translates well to metal. Great work, Leo.
Another awesome metal cover!! 🤘
My 4-year old kid keeps asking me to play Leo's songs. He rocks out with his little play guitar in front of the tv, with Frog Leap Studio blasting.....🤘🤘
I'm so proud that I raised a metal-head...
This song just rocks no matter the style of cover 👌👌👌
Well said
As a career firefighter/ emt.... I wholeheartedly approve! Thank you, Leo!
Get into the fire! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Rammstein, anything by Rammstein
Get by with a little help from my friends?
'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' - You'd KILL this.
HIP TO BE SQUARE - HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS
Social Distortion or Mike Ness' songs - Ball and Chain, Winners and Losers, No Man's Friend, etc.
You're the best, Leo! Good luck!
I would love to hear you cover some old Genisis "I can't dance" or something along those lines
Hey, that's new Genesis... LOL
I get genesis and Phil Collins mixed up a lot
Have you heard Leo's 'I Can Feel It In The Air Tonight?'
god, the instrumental hesitation right at the start of the chorus makes it hit SO HARD.
Every song you touch turns to gold, you may possibly have one of the best styles on the planet.
I didn't think I was going to like this one, but I was wrong. Instant classic. 🤘
The person who mixed this song is also a hero 🖤 What an extraordinary sounding mix Leo!!! 🙂
Always amazed and impressed with this man's talents
One of the best versions I have ever heard. Great.
Who doesn't want to be rescued by a head banging bunny? lol
Great cover.👍🏻😎
We need a metal version of the Avengers theme next.😆
Well, people with "leporiphobia" would disagree :D It would scare the crap out of them.
EVERYTHING Leo does is excellent! No exceptions here!
This is amazing. Leo, you have so much talent! We've been enjoying your music for years. My son is a little metal head in the making and he loves your music.
LOVE how you guys stayed true to the spirit of the original track but put your own spin on it. i dont say this often: youve done the song, and the artist justice. very well done.
Nicely timed, Leo!
Theme song to "Cover Up" - a show I really enjoyed in the mid-80s. Today is Jon-Erik Hexum's birthday - he starred in the show until he died shortly after an on-set accident.
Excellent metal cover, too!
I remember hearing this song for the first time from Short Circuit 2 - waaaaaay back in the day.
Speaking of which, this rendition has made my entire month.
rumor has it johnny 5 is really pissed off
you never fail to surprise or impress me Leo. YOU ROCK!!!!
Ive listened to this song 13 times already this week. I love jamming out to this song . Its so badass and it has an epic video
All hail Jim Steinman; an artist we all know, but don't recognize.
May he rest in rock.
dammit, I was hoping to one day meet him. His was the touch of gold.
I got to thank my Mum for introducing me to Jim Steinmann. I hope she can listen to him wherever they went after this life.
Every band ! Needs you on their bill - in fact everyone should kno you’re name honestly you should be there opening act ! Those riffs ! We’re absolutely killer . How bout some op ivy- social distortion- joy division- Leo sayer - faith no more ? Doesn’t matter everything you do just simply shreds !! Thx for always picking
Our hearts off the floor
This was done right. Musically and the bunny head with the kiddie drums 🤘
Outstanding!!!
Love everything you all have done.
Good God!?!? I’ve been waiting for you to cover this song like the last 3 years. And it was…AMAZING!!!
The rabbit headbanging on top of the overturned fire truck really brings this video together :D
This is the best of covers of this track!!! respect to the author!!!
Perhaps my favourite Leo cover so far !
No idea why, but this song has me in tears every time I listen to it... been like that since day one in my pre teens.
Sang with the first chorus, only to end up sobbing.
For me, it's Pressure by Billy Joel that moves me like that.
Is it because of shrek?
Потрясающе!! Для хорошей трени - самое оно!)
this is simply...incredible
I'm so waiting for this one to be uploaded to Spotify. I jam to a lot of Leo's music and i am a big fan! Keep Kickin Ass Leo!!!!
this just surpassed the original for me. i didnt know i needed this until hearing it. thank you
Please cover Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra 🤩
Keep up the good work!
Best coves since a long time. Amazing.
Dude, Your talent and the work you put into these songs is absolutely astounding!!!
Not the first metal cover I have heard, but it is the first with a fire fighting bunny headbanging amongst flames! :D
I’ve also heard a few others. I think, at least for me, why his covers are so good is because he doesn’t go full on metal he keeps the pop element to his covers that made the originals good 🤷🏼♂️. If that makes sense
Наконец-то!
Дождался любимую песню и от Лео! :)
🤘🔥
А от Graveworm слышал?)
@@user-uv6bb4mk1o неа. Но слушал ещё от Little V, и в русскоязычном варианте от Даниэлы :)
Вадим Стейк (Штефи) обязательно послушай) у них есть еще несколько крутых каверов как Fear of the dark
I think this is the best one yet.... it's perfect!!!!
Gotta love an artist/musician with a sense of humor!
Absolutey amazing
Well that’s definitely a hot take on the original! 😄 I think Leo is the real hero here.
Bro, this is gonna become a daily jam. Killer harmonies, good breakdown, definitely made it your own.
This song is so much better now that Leo sings it. Love it keep it up
I already have a hero... he puts out killer rockin' tunes every friday that kicks off the weekend just right!
As a firefighter I salute you :)))))
man, since I have heard this version, can't help but play it
Leo, love what you do. You're freaking awesome. Talent everywhere. I'd love to hear this version of this song with endgame footage
Simplemente una bestia de los cover extraordinario LEO abrazo desde Argentina !!!!
Best bunny outfit ever!
And thanks for making this song "listenable" :D
Excellent cover I love the original and this is amazing.
This one of my favorite songs as a child. Awesome cover!!!
You blew the doors off this one. And you are usually very good.
Que genial cover y el video genial.
This is a delight! Another song that has a metal version inside screaming to be unleashed.
I honestly couldn't love your covers any more. And then you go and do this and make me love your covers even more.
Never in my life did i think that song could be rocked! That was great!🎼🎶🤘🥀
If it can be eurobeated ...
Leo. You are my hero and you have already been my hero for several years. This was stellar! As usual. I wish I could interview you. Because I have some questions for you. I always like a kid at Xmas every waiting to see what you're putting out Friday
I dont know what I like more, if your covers or your outro songs haha. Amazing!
One of Leo's best covers
Probably my favorite of your covers (so far). Used to be Africa by Toto, but this beats even that
Amazing as always!
one of your best...
excellent theatrics and you caught the original energy and turned it up to 12.
Outstanding cover of this song.
Holy crap. Now I need metal covers of all of Jim Steinman's other songs....
Not ALL of them, but "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" could rip!
I'll buy that album. The man made so many songs.
LOVE IT!
Love this version! Great job Leo!
Awesome, excellent cover and great song choice. Really like this version. Thank you
ЛЕО как всегда Топ
Як согласен полностью супер кавер 🤘
This is what we've been waiting for
Takes one off 80s song and makes it a must listen of the 21st.
FLS is just mastery of music.
i so love your take on songs loving it thank you.
By Odin's beard!!! This had no business being this intense, but you totally killed it! Absolute legend. 🔥👍🔥
YES! Rockin' cover with excellent visuals. Clearly the best Norwegian firefighter bunny video I've seen all year.
I am so so happy that i found you and all the music you create is a blessing for peoples ears. Thank you very much. 🤘🎶🙌🎸✊
leo... words cannot express what your work has done for me...
thank you
love,
David Ward Clifford
all the best to you
