Did you purchase any rights to the song to do this? Trying to figure out if others just send it or put in some legal ground work first when covering stuff
Yep, he’s also bassist/backup vocals in Graystone, as well as the only member of solo projects Hungry Lights, Call it Ego, Prilly T, Beautifully Worthless Beings, and From the Look Of Things. He’s a busy fuckin guy!
If you think this is good, then you’d probably love graystone. It’s a deathcore super group with Nik Nocturnal, Paula Carregosa, Austin Dickey, Justin Bonitz, and Damien Ward.
I know creating is harder than covering but whew lord, Justin made this sound like he was the original singer instead of it being a cover. I wonder if Emily and the other members will see this, you guys deserve top praise for this one.
@@jaakezzz_G Don't discredit any man who has the talent to reach notes in the 5th octave with chest/mixed voice even if it's distorted Tenors tessitura is C3-C5 and he hit a F5, something 5 semitones above his peak chest voice It's as impressive like a Baritone hitting a C5, something also 5 semitones above his peak Chest Voice tessitura of G2-G4
Tbh would have loved to hear the vocals a bit louder in the mix, since the guitars are kind of putting him in the background (at least on my speakers). The arrangement is awesome and what a cool performance of you both!
I have noticed the levels of different songs sound slightly different on various speakers/earbuds/cars, so might change a bit if you listen through something else.
Fr man, Justin Bonnitz as a vocalist is awesome. Him and Austin Dickey are fucking amazing to hear together because it's just, well it's just fun as shit haha
When people said no one could ever do it like him Justin's one of the few popped in my head. I think vocalist like him arent seen by mainstream or they would be blown away but what's out there for metal vocalist.
justin is an amazing person vocally and personally, met him and the band at the local ice cream place i work at and he was so nice and shocked i even knew em lol, absolutely best work night ever, and i even got a pic
Yessss. This is what we really want. I understand Chester is irreplaceable, bur the nostalgia with Justins voice, thwn the range and crazy vocals he could've provided for LP would have been fucking crazy. His repertoire is in another level. All this time I really thought he was the next vox.
Yeah it’s better if he stays with the young band that will be creating new and different music in the future. I doubt LP has any surprises left for us.
@@NBWolters I actually watched that one, it's a great song and Justin is awesome! Not just his voice but he's pretty funny too wearing that maid costume. I was impressed and made me laugh all at the same time. "Ghost Feet" is next on the list. I'm watching the ones on Jared Dines' channel.
Check out his band Tallah. One of the best to come out of the modern nu metal scene. Their song 'The Silo' is almost all clean singing and really fcking good singing at that
Justin is an AMAZING vocalist. He really shines everytime. First time I encountered him wasin one of those "top 10 vocalt techniques", old youtube... still impressed.
I'm so happy to see Justin getting more love. His patreon screaming tutorials have helped so much and even when I reached out to him for advice he was so nice.
@Luna-sf7rn never did a 1 for 1 but I emailed him directly just kind of bit the bullet and he responded within minutes. He's very upfront and blunt but he's INSANELY nice. He's one of the nicest people I've talked to and even gave me more advice on his take on the lessons. I'd email him and ask he'd be more than happy to help out depending if he's on tour or not.
I see Nik lost a music video I get excited, I see Justin Bonnitz and I'm spamming the mouse button lol Graystone is awesome, this is awesome, it's all awesome
It's fantastic don't be so over analytical. These 2 are awesome musicians so a bit of thought would suggest they already know how it sounds and there would be a good reason for why it sounds a certain way. For example it being a quick single take not a high production piece
@@zerozeeros You can turn up the vocals on a one-take! I do it on Hungry Covers, Hungry Lights, and Tallah all the time! I just did not notice the vocals were mixed so quiet when Nik sent me the final mix. If I had, he would have turned them up! My bad!
Ta ai algo que eu não pensei que iria ver kkkkkkk eu gabaritei TODOS os videos do Justin, e faz tempo que não acompanhava ele, da hora ver que ele canta ainda melhor hoje em dia.
I love it. It's too bad Justin is busy with 5 other projects. He'd make a great new vocalist for Linkin Park. Also we do fun metal things here. Got me lolling at work.
They didn’t venture away a bit. Replace Emily’s voice with Chester and this song is still as Linkin Park as it gets. Can’t wait for more LP music with Emily being such a great fit for this new era.
As someone who use to record off a boss recorder I did this too often with my own vocals even. Then I'd try to balance and do the vocals too loud can't win. I got swimming ear after so long though everything gets muddy so weird.
@@El.Sasquatcho69 Same here. Until I learned how to use EQ properly so that you can cut out certain frequencies so that all the instruments nest in the song appropriately.
Hey Mike Shinoda, come over here, I think you guys made a clear mistake... nothing against Emily, but come on, can we have an agreement that maybe, just maybe we had better options? Chester might be happy seeing this video.
It is incredible how Justin reminds me to the sound of Chester but still ist total unique in its own way. Justin is blessed. Oh yeah, and nice guitar Nik
@@zerozeeros It's not the fact that one is male and one is female in this case, at least for me, Justin's just my favorite vocalist, and his voice has always been great for Linkin Park.
Honestly, with how close Justin's cadence is to Chester, if LP wanted to get close to the days with Chester, they should have went with Justin. I get they wanted to change things up though.
No disrespect to new linkin park but if you guys did a full album nu metal cover, I'd pre order this without hesitation. This felt closer to what i felt as a kid listening to hybrid theory
The point is that Linkin Park wants to make new music, and fresh start with a new singer. This makes sense why they went with Emily, Linkin Park has always been about trying new stuff and evolving.
@@jariemonah agreed. The direction they're taking the music is the right direction. I was just trying to politely say this vocalist is far more fitting for the sound in my opinion. His range is superior, in fact.
@@XavianJohnson I don't like putting down vocalists, so I will just say that I think Emily's voice suites Linkin Park. The band trialed multiple singers over the past couple of years. They chose Emily for a reason.
Cuz the songs did not sound like LP songs until Mike heard Emily singing them? Cuz if they had hired a guy the "YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO REPLACE CHESTER!!!!" screams would have been a lot louder? Just off the top of my head.
Show Justin the love and stream the track here: open.spotify.com/album/76Q6Mc62paQE1D1q662t7b
Why?! Why his voice fits better than Emily?! Wtf?!?!!?!!!??
Did you purchase any rights to the song to do this? Trying to figure out if others just send it or put in some legal ground work first when covering stuff
OH, U BOIS GOT THIS. sPOT ON
Is that Justin Bonitz of Talla?
@@ThallesCasagrande My thought exactly!!!
Wait..... is that the lead singer from Tallah!?
yeah, watch the musician mansion they were in a band together
Bass player from Graystone
yep
Tallah are so good
Yep, he’s also bassist/backup vocals in Graystone, as well as the only member of solo projects Hungry Lights, Call it Ego, Prilly T, Beautifully Worthless Beings, and From the Look Of Things. He’s a busy fuckin guy!
Thanks, Nik! Always down for fun, metal things!
Found him.
These collabs are just a little more special than greystone.
Bump this and then bump it again. I'll be the asshole and say that this cover is better than the original.
Justin, you are an amazing piece of human flesh 🥰
Im just imagining a Linkin Park tour with Spiritbox and Tallah as supporting acts
I think we're getting ST and BO stadium tour next year, fingers crossed!
@@ksv0509it’s confirmed
@@ksv0509 who?
They already anounced a tour with Bad Omens, so Spiritbox isn't that far off
@@Kimse05Bad Omens
before we knew who the new vocalist was, justin was one of the few in my mind i would’ve loved to see. dude’s just built different
Jon Howard, from Threat Signal.
I had this same thought, he has an almost identical voice to Chester in his Given Up cover. He's incredibly underrated, honestly.
@@kedoken77 that cover has lived rent free in my head since it came out xD
Hes not THAT good
Same. I thought his voice was near identical to Chester's and would do really well if the band wanted a similar sound.
Yeah! More music with Justin Bonitz!!
If you think this is good, then you’d probably love graystone. It’s a deathcore super group with Nik Nocturnal, Paula Carregosa, Austin Dickey, Justin Bonitz, and Damien Ward.
@@SpadeCoronaI now have to look this up
He's very amazing. I am always blown away by his vocals.
@@SpadeCorona Love you, thanks!

He's the singer for the band Tallah now, they're insane

If you haven’t checked out Tallah yet do so immediately, they’re amazing
@@ahuman9113 I second this
2:32 how the hell did he hit the note? He's amazing.
Maan you need to check out his band Tallah, he does SO MUCH crazy stuff with his vocals it's unreal
He did it with pneumonia too.
Got to meet him in the pit @ BRRF 2021 wearing a gas mask and holding a sign during Chevelles set. Super talented guy!
He's a certified freak vocalist in the same league as Mike Patton and Devin Townsend
Well he also my screaming vocal teacher years ago.
I know creating is harder than covering but whew lord, Justin made this sound like he was the original singer instead of it being a cover. I wonder if Emily and the other members will see this, you guys deserve top praise for this one.
Mike would, he pretty lit haha

Wasn't a scream, it was a raspy voice F5... Wich from my point of view is even MORE IMPRESSIVE, DAMN!! Is hard AF!
@@danieleduardocadenaplazas6334 not true

Jesus CHRIST I didn't realize Justin's range was THAT GOOD.
God-DAMN!
Bro has hit a C8 once while playing around during a tour
he is one of the best vocalists of today in my opinion
his versatility is insane
@@overdev1993second that! And he has an awesome personality aswell 🖤
He sounds like a mix of Chester and Emily!
I think he's closer to Chester compared to Emily in all honesty.
Justin puts so much emotion into this performance and never disappoints! Fantastic collaboration Nik, hope to see more in the future!
Now do heavy is the crown with him, I can only imagine the scream in that song with justin's vocals would kill me

Went to "from zero" straight to "hi and welcome back to hybrid theory"
Not really
More Nu-metal covers.
Justin kinda sounds like metal Starscream. Love it.
2:32 that is so fucking high, I'm so genuinely impressed I am mouth agape.
2:33 just wtf Justin, that was so high that my dog barked at the screen. Mah boy is a menace and I'm glad to see this cover with him xD

Inside Scoop ;)

Yesss! This sounds amazing! Love these Nik and Justin team ups
Ok... Now... Heavy Is The Crown... like... RIGHT NOW. Thanks!!! ❤
This is what we ask for
Yessss. This is what we really want. I understand Chester is irreplaceable, bur the nostalgia with Justins voice, thwn the range and crazy vocals he could've provided for LP would have been fucking crazy. His repertoire is in another level. All this time I really thought he was the next vox.
@@anxiousatchara In terms of his own music, I think Justin is in the same category of irreplaceable.
Funny thing is Justin has a video of his song “Heavy is the Crown” from 8 years ago, I guess he inspired LP 😎
@@The0nlyy Cultured individual, you have my seal of approval for knowing Justin's solo stuff. That is by far the best "Heavy is the Crown" out there.
Justin Bonitz would've been an awesome pick for LP. However, I'm glad he wasn't because I enjoy Tallah.
I also love his solo projects and all the collabs he does with other artists.
he is just too much like Chester, people would have send him death threats
Yeah it’s better if he stays with the young band that will be creating new and different music in the future. I doubt LP has any surprises left for us.
It's time to finally team up bro! Just did the same song lol
Oh damn, I've never heard Justin's clean singing, he has a beautiful voice! Holy shit, I love this, fantastic job guys!!!!
You should probably check out his solo projects

2:16 when the inner kmac comes out
the end broke me. "We do fun metal things here!". xD Great song, keep it comin guys!
IS THAT HUNGRY LIGHTS??
This guy has THE BEST Linkin Park covers. His vocals are insane
This is genuinely one of the BEST yt covers I've ever seen! Good shit Nik and Justin!
Much better than the original!
Great Job!
holy.... i never realised justin was such an amazing clean vocalist! that range and tone is phenomenal!!
I genuinely think Justin is my favourite vocalist. His voice and combination of techniques is insane
Justin wouldve been one of the best choices to go Chesters shoes cause hes one of the very few that can

i already know this gonna be a masterpiece
I agree. Also, I love your profile picture, Fluttershy with glasses is adorable af.
Now all I can think of is how perfect Justin would have been as the new singer for Linkin Park
Those riffs at 0:25 send me back in time
I'm so happy to see Justin getting more love. His patreon screaming tutorials have helped so much and even when I reached out to him for advice he was so nice.

Oh god... It's so good. We need more covers likke this. 🖤
I like the more invasive guitar. I feel the vocals fitting perfectly in the middle of the glorious amounts of distortion.
JUSTIN MY KING
YOO love to see Justin on this! Saw him with Tallah. He rocks!
my man looks like chester bennington at home (no hate intended)
Isso ficou incrível!! Grande trabalho!
So much better than the original 😂

now do heavy is the crown

Very pog
Loving the scientologist hat.

Why does Justin sound like an actual rival to the new vocalist of LP 2.0?
Like, he somehow echoes Chester here & there.
We need the whole cover album with Justin. I miss the nu-metal sound of LP.
The riff at 1:28 is it from Avenged Sevenfold
Sounds a bit like the riff from Natural born Killers.
Reminded me of Blinded in Chains straight away also!
Banger cover, Singer absolutely killed it
Bruh, why in tarnation didn't linkin park hire justin bonitz?
Taking care of their friends rather than sourcing the best talents.

it's unbelievable how Justin and Chester (RIP) voices sound similar
better than the ai ones
you're trippin lol doesnt sound like chester at all

Jon Howard, Threat Signal.
HungryLights needs to be LPs vocalist. Sounds so damn similar to Chester.
I dunno, needs a dash of scientology and a whole lot more angst from the 'it's not Chester' group. I personally LOVE IT!
