Cog sounds like one of those comical villains that were actually really dark from the 90's era cartoon movies. And honestly I can see this version being sung by a major movie villain and i'm so here for it. I want to see him play the villain in a bardoff against steam powered giraffe. That would probably be an amazing show.
@@sir-dame-sander I love the "one f-bomb" meme. Revenge of the Sith gets one f-bomb: Youngling: Master Skywalker, there's too many of them, what are we going to do? Anakin: *Ignites Lightsaber* Youngling: Oh, fuck...
John - I do not want to come across like a drooling fanboy, but I'm having so much fun with these recent videos. The video editing on this one is spot-on, and the anger in your voice just rips through the song in a way that makes it much edgier and more fun than the AJR original. If this is what it takes to get a bang out of you, I vote for more virus quarantining from here on out. Here we go.
I just discovered The Cog is Dead about a month ago, and this song has taken up residence in my head. Checked out the original and didn't really care for it. But Cog made something special with this cover.
Dude, it's Pete from Mickey mouse singing now?! in all seriousness, I love this, I love your voice, the technique is spot on, as a VA, and singer, I approve of this, great job man 🎉🎉🎉❤
Ooooh This notification made my morning! I like both bands so much, what a pleasant surprise! Great cover!! The radio host part is such a cool adaptation of the original subway voice!
There aren't enough words to convey how much I absolutely love this version! The voice, the facial expressions, Announcer Guy, an already favorite song.. ***CHEF'S KISS***
Yo how the hell did you know I started to listen to AJR recently??? I get up in the morning ready to listen to "Bang!" only to see this???? Blessed. 🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰
That mask will always remind me of V for Vendetta. Totally adds another level to this video. Superb job, as always. I've been testing the limits of my speakers for a bit now. I hope they hold out. lol!
I've been BOPPING to this for the past like... hour and a half, but my bluetooth headphones are at low battery, and it's starting to get rather late. This cover is amazing, and I really want to make some sort of animatic to it. We'll see if I have enough motivation tomorrow :P
I just discovered this song on Pandora last night and I'm addicted to it. Like a great cover, it adds something new to the original and I adore it! Cog, I'm new to your stuff, now, and this is awesome!
After hearing this, I can never go back to the original version. It’s so damn goof. I’m just surprised this cover doesn’t have more attention and the original has 30 million views.
This is one of my favorite songs from AJR! What did you do? Made it cooler somehow 😂 I am going to try to get enough money to support this band. Local bands are just as important as famous ones. 💕
This, is, a absolute wonderful time, Cog is dead? I feel someone may be up to some necromancy, and I’m all for it, thanks for still being up to the musics guys
sprocket is one of the most amazing singers I know of. I mean he can seamlessly switch from singing at incredibly low pitch to high pitch and sounds amazing all round.
Thank you for making this cover! Not only is it a really good cover, not only did it introduce me to a great song I would've never known otherwise, but it's uploaded the day before my birthday! Keep up the good work! (Am also commenting to encourage the algorhythm to promote this vid so shhhhhh)
Cog (can I call you cog?). Buddy. This is _amazing_ . Stumbled upon you whilst making playlists for my characters on Spotify and holy shit I might just start a new story purely to encompass your music. Love it
This is not any different except for the deep vocals and a man who is big as life and loving every bit of it! He is everything I wanna be right now! Loving his voice!
hi john :) just wanted to say i absolutely love your voice and the various chaoses you put into this video 🍀here's a clover of approval :) i really appreciate what you do and you definitely deserve the following you have, good work man kudos
Holy crap, this is crazy. Ok, I hadn't listened to this band in literal years until now. I had just finished listening to AJR's Bang! and then the style of that specific song reminded me of the songs from Wiremux's "My Steampunk Song Collection". So I recognized The Cog War as the style that I was looking for and when I looked up The Cog is Dead, I found this. Holy crap.
I get up, I get down and I'm jumping around And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now Been a heck of a ride but I'm thinking it’s time to grow (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Eh) So I got an apartment across from the park Put quinoa in my fridge, still I'm not feeling grown Been a heck of a ride but I think that it's time to go (Bang! Bang! Bang!)

That's the stuff indeed. This h*cking rules! Really appreciate the effort put into the video too. Would love to hear more AJR stuff from you. 100 Bad Days might work in this style.
John, I just now tried to figure out what book you're reading at the beginning of the video. It's Jules Verne, but which story? (I have an interest in Verne because I've already made 2 videos on the ciphers he included in Journey to the Center of the Earth and Mathias Sandorf. I hope to make a video on the cipher in The Great Raft in the next month or so.)
I found you through Hat in Time after looking up who did the voice of Mafia Boss (one of my fave characters, so much personality!) and then found your band and channel and it's been so great! Your voice is just so cool for this kind of stuff, and I love the energy in this cover!

bro sounds like pete the cat from mickey mouse club house
Good idea
Cog: has a metal voice
Also Cog: h*ck
the cog get one (1) f bomb and they’re saving it
It's in character, saying Heck in Victorian era English is basically like calling Foozler kid a Flapdoodle
@@sir-dame-sander I love the "one f-bomb" meme.
Revenge of the Sith gets one f-bomb:
Youngling: Master Skywalker, there's too many of them, what are we going to do?
Anakin: *Ignites Lightsaber*
Youngling: Oh, fuck...
Oh boy I wonder how this'll turn out. Ajr has a happy swing melody, so it'll be interesting...
IT TURNED OUT AMAZING!
Is that Masky in your pfp?
@@erikdixon8464 bang! bang! bang!
Sound like the dark version of the song, and I think match better with the lyrics. Thank you, I love your songs and the AJR songs so I'm really happy!
I found them looking for versions of the Gravity falls theme song and then I found their most recent and I was like :O ajr too??
@@magnificloud yeah he Is a Man of Culture 👌
John - I do not want to come across like a drooling fanboy, but I'm having so much fun with these recent videos.

Haha, thanks very much! But I say let's get rid of the virus and I'll just keep making these anyway. :)
I absolutely agree that his voice cuts this song far different than the original. Both are amazing and encase what growing up feels like so perfectly
Nah man, he sounds like one of those exaggerated disney villain voices
@@JohnDoe-em7of And that's a bad thing?
I just discovered The Cog is Dead about a month ago, and this song has taken up residence in my head. Checked out the original and didn't really care for it. But Cog made something special with this cover.
This gives off Disney villain vibes and I’m here for every moment
Pete the dog to be more specific. Once I heard it, I can’t I hear it.
Your Deep Voice, God its amazing, You should post some behind the scenes for preparing for some of these songs.
John has a talent for making almost anything sound just a little bit terrifying 🤣
JUST A LITTLE?!!
The 90’s vibes fit so freaking well man, great job
Now that I’ve listened to it over and over it reminds me a lot of Poor Man’s Poison, which is awesome. Your voice is just perfect for this man
I cannot wait!!!

more than 11 hours
He cannot blink
I refuse to believe this is a cover. He sang it like he owned it. This is amazing!
This is incredible! You had great acting! It looks way better than most music videos I’ve seen with huge crews and stage effects!
The first reaction I got seeing this was: "thank you. Just thank you. I already love this."
Dude, it's Pete from Mickey mouse singing now?! in all seriousness, I love this, I love your voice, the technique is spot on, as a VA, and singer, I approve of this, great job man 🎉🎉🎉❤

I absolutely love this. It’s very brass and a complete turn from the original with a variety of new sounds and personality. Keep it up!
Amazing cover!!!
Thank you!
Yo how the hell did you know I started to listen to AJR recently??? I get up in the morning ready to listen to "Bang!" only to see this???? Blessed. 🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Been listening to this on a loop all afternoon (without an ad blocker) and I'm just getting started! Hope this help! :)
That mask will always remind me of V for Vendetta. Totally adds another level to this video. Superb job, as always. I've been testing the limits of my speakers for a bit now. I hope they hold out. lol!
For me it's more like "The Purge" :)
OOOOHHHH THE POWER IN THIS COVER--So good🤧💓
The voice, the drums, the visuals- this song just feels so... powerful!
Awesome Job as always!
I can't wait to finally buy your Album!
But you know, this year makes it hard to save some extra Money
Thanks so much! No worries, that's totally understandable. At least all the music is available on UA-cam any time you want! ^_^
For some reason I fell like if The Thing ever got a solo film. This is what would play in the trailer.
I actually love it
cog is dead:talks about the a entire town dieing due to workers burning a work place down thats on a oil river
also cog is dead:heck!
I've been BOPPING to this for the past like... hour and a half, but my bluetooth headphones are at low battery, and it's starting to get rather late. This cover is amazing, and I really want to make some sort of animatic to it. We'll see if I have enough motivation tomorrow :P
Its the villain version and I love it
Masterpiece just like the original😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
I just discovered this song on Pandora last night and I'm addicted to it. Like a great cover, it adds something new to the original and I adore it! Cog, I'm new to your stuff, now, and this is awesome!
2 years later I still get the goosebumps
I already loved this song I love this just as much as the original well done 😀
Finaly im early last time was when jelly donut was relised
After hearing this, I can never go back to the original version. It’s so damn goof. I’m just surprised this cover doesn’t have more attention and the original has 30 million views.
I don't know if you have heard it, but I'd love to hear A cover of Pretender by Ajr because I haven't heard many of those
When a cover is better then the original
Супер кавер!
Thank you!
This is one of my favorite songs from AJR! What did you do? Made it cooler somehow 😂 I am going to try to get enough money to support this band. Local bands are just as important as famous ones. 💕
This, is, a absolute wonderful time, Cog is dead? I feel someone may be up to some necromancy, and I’m all for it, thanks for still being up to the musics guys

Well this made my day
The deeper voice is an amazing touch! Oh my gosh, I was having a bad day and this made my day!! :D
this is an absolutely amazing cover i love it so much it suits the lyrics so well and just how your voice sounds its incredible
You Sir deserve a Million subs! Wtf is wrong with UA-cam that you aren't more popular?
The song works so well in this style
Love it! Thank you, Cap'n Sprocket!
My teacher played this in our online class.
Happiest ive been in a while.
As always a wonderful job
Good choice for a cover, this turned out really well!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
best cover yet!! i appreciate the here we go!
Two things that I really like. AJR and your voice, daaaamn
Thank you for making this cover! Not only is it a really good cover, not only did it introduce me to a great song I would've never known otherwise, but it's uploaded the day before my birthday! Keep up the good work!
(Am also commenting to encourage the algorhythm to promote this vid so shhhhhh)
This is so sick, best way to discover this channel!
the way this cover just slaps
This version song has been playing in my head for the last couple days now >_>
Cog (can I call you cog?). Buddy. This is _amazing_ . Stumbled upon you whilst making playlists for my characters on Spotify and holy shit I might just start a new story purely to encompass your music. Love it
I can see this version being used in a trailer with a lot of action. Awesome
i had no idea what to expect haha. this was absolutely teriffic! also your eyes are beautiful!
You popped up on a suggested song while listening on Spotify this morning and now your apart of my daily driver list
This has made me so happy!!! A fave band and a fav song in one vid = my fav cover of 2020
This is not any different except for the deep vocals and a man who is big as life and loving every bit of it! He is everything I wanna be right now! Loving his voice!
IT DESERVES A LOT MORE VIEWS so much work into it
Nothing couldve have prepared me to hear your voice. this sounds awesome
This went from a song about partying and enjoying life to an aggressive and nightmarish carnival song, and I'm all for it. XD
Oh my god this is fantastic! This cover is very unique, And I love the extra edge to it! Honestly matches the lyrics.
hi john :) just wanted to say i absolutely love your voice and the various chaoses you put into this video 🍀here's a clover of approval :) i really appreciate what you do and you definitely deserve the following you have, good work man kudos
Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I expected, but also so much better than imagined! I love your range!
Never thought this song could sound like a villain song, but you did it somehow!
1st time hearing this guy. I wasn't
ready for any of that.
I can't stop listening to it! Absolutely fantastic. (Hi from Russia and please take my humble tip as a sign of gratitude)
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy it! And thanks very much for the tip! ^_^
please dont GOO!!!!! LOVE UR SONGS keep playin
I can't believe that a cover this good and well edited only has 47k views and less than 4k likes.
This was really awesome to watch, you did awesome with the video for it as well as the song

not usually into this kind of music but your stuff slaps
love this cover!!
Never seen that kinda of cover, so impressive.
THIS is PERFORMANCE
positively splendid

It's a collection of several Jules Verne stories. 😊
Oh my gosh. YESSSS I LOVE IT SOOO MUCHHHH
That’s amazing!!!
Absolutely fantastic!
My favorite song!? Covered by one of the coolest bands I've recently discovered!? Hell yeah, I'm loving it!!
Dude that cover is wicked

Thank you so much! The Mafia Boss was one of my favorite characters to voice. Thanks for checking out the music!
@@thecogisdead It sounds like you hd so much fun, those angry gibberish lines must've been so fun to record haha
DAMN!!! Well done, sir!
This is terrifying and beautiful I love it
Yeah!
This is both terrifying and amazing, and now I can't decide how to end this comment
I really enjoy this song! I especially like the parts in the blue suit, the voice there really resonated with me!
This was fucking beautiful. Well done.
stay safe dude and keep up with the awesome music
The song: Timpony (I think??)
Me: *Whos name is Tiffany* Eh?!
I didn’t expect this to be so good!
