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.
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. 🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰
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!
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 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!
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!
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'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
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.
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. 💕
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
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!
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.
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!) (Here we go) So put your best face on, everybody Pretend you know this song, everybody Come hang (Come hang) Let's go out with a bang (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (That’s the stuff) I'm way too young to lie here forever I'm way too old to try, so whatever Come hang (Come hang) Let's go out with a bang (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Eh) Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due Does my password begin with a one or a two? Been a heck of a ride but I think that it's time to grow (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Metronome) Man, I'm up to something (up to something), ooh-dee-la-dee-doh Thank you all for coming (all for coming), I hope you like the show 'Cause it's on a budget (on a budget), so ooh-dee-la-dee-doh Yeah, come on here we go, yeah, come on (here we go) So put your best face on, everybody Pretend you know this song, everybody Come hang (Come hang) Let's go out with a bang (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Let me hear you) I'm way too young to lie here forever I'm way too old to try, so whatever Come hang (Come hang) Let's go out with a bang (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang-bang) (Bang-Bang!

I know I’m suuuuper late to finding this song but it sounds like a pirate who tried the normal life; buys an apartment, pays taxes, and gets a job recounting his tales at sea to kids or something (thus the “heck” because he’s cleaned up his language and sometimes clean words slip out), but he starts missing the old life and plans to get back to it. He thanks the audience for coming to his final story/“show”, then heads back out to rejoin the pirating life!

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...
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 👌
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!
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 - 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.
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.
I refuse to believe this is a cover. He sang it like he owned it. This is amazing!
John has a talent for making almost anything sound just a little bit terrifying 🤣
JUST A LITTLE?!!
The first reaction I got seeing this was: "thank you. Just thank you. I already love this."
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***
I cannot wait!!!

more than 11 hours
He cannot blink
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
This is incredible! You had great acting! It looks way better than most music videos I’ve seen with huge crews and stage effects!
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. 🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰
For some reason I fell like if The Thing ever got a solo film. This is what would play in the trailer.
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!
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!
Been listening to this on a loop all afternoon (without an ad blocker) and I'm just getting started! Hope this help! :)
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 🎉🎉🎉❤
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 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!
The voice, the drums, the visuals- this song just feels so... powerful!
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🤧💓
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! ^_^
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.
When a cover is better then the original
2 years later I still get the goosebumps
Masterpiece just like the original😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
I actually love it
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
Супер кавер!
Thank you!
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
My teacher played this in our online class.
Happiest ive been in a while.
Its the villain version and I love it
I already loved this song I love this just as much as the original well done 😀
You popped up on a suggested song while listening on Spotify this morning and now your apart of my daily driver list
You Sir deserve a Million subs! Wtf is wrong with UA-cam that you aren't more popular?
I can see this version being used in a trailer with a lot of action. Awesome
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.
This version song has been playing in my head for the last couple days now >_>
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
Finaly im early last time was when jelly donut was relised
I can't believe that a cover this good and well edited only has 47k views and less than 4k likes.
This is so sick, best way to discover this channel!
Two things that I really like. AJR and your voice, daaaamn
Never thought this song could sound like a villain song, but you did it somehow!
best cover yet!! i appreciate the here we go!
Love it! Thank you, Cap'n Sprocket!
The song works so well in this style
This went from a song about partying and enjoying life to an aggressive and nightmarish carnival song, and I'm all for it. XD
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. 💕
As always a wonderful job
Well this made my day
IT DESERVES A LOT MORE VIEWS so much work into it
Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I expected, but also so much better than imagined! I love your range!
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

Nothing couldve have prepared me to hear your voice. this sounds awesome
1st time hearing this guy. I wasn't
ready for any of that.
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
Love it!!! The postlude was great message and reminder !
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!
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
Oh my god this is fantastic! This cover is very unique, And I love the extra edge to it! Honestly matches the lyrics.
I really enjoy the cog is dead and all the cover songs and your originals too do please keep the great an awesome work up John sprocket👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely fantastic!

Good choice for a cover, this turned out really well!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Alright, now it’s a legitimate Disney Villain Song, thank you for fixing the tone.
Dude that cover is wicked

Thank you, John! This music is just how I feel right now!
not usually into this kind of music but your stuff slaps
love this cover!!
Petition to make this the original
Seriously, over 2 years and it still sounds better then the original to me
This is both terrifying and amazing, and now I can't decide how to end this comment
This was fucking beautiful. Well done.
That’s amazing!!!
The mild tone of madness fits the stir crazy mood of these past few months
your voice is amazing
stay safe dude and keep up with the awesome music

My favorite song!? Covered by one of the coolest bands I've recently discovered!? Hell yeah, I'm loving it!!
This is terrifying and beautiful I love it
Found you on Pandora, love your cover.
I really enjoy this song! I especially like the parts in the blue suit, the voice there really resonated with me!
I didn’t expect this to be so good!
