Best one you've done since your "Madonna - Like a Virgin" metal cover. I absolutely love the two breakdowns with the odd timing chugs, reminds me of Meshuggah.
80's music in many ways was never my jam. Tears for Fear is a gem from that era though, and this song especially. This song is a masterpiece and this cover is excellent. Thank you mr youtube person.
This is without a doubt, the best cover of this song ever made. This not only translates well into Heavy metal, but your unique spin you put on songs, brought this to a whole new level of excellence. Well done!
Your covers always give me a giggle mate, as I'm fighting cancer, and working on my own music. Keep up the good work buddy, really excellent. Love always to you and the team, Quo
Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls please! My teens were spent in the 1980s, and I have fond memories of watching all those classic MTV videos. Then I saw Metallica open for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986 and I became a life-long metalhead. 🤘
Another banger from my youth transferred into something even better.. It's been such a pleasure to watch your star grow through the years and shine as bright as it does to the world. Thanks.
happy 2023!!! i hope you relaxed and had fun during your 'time off'/holiday because you deserve it! you look good...despite that damn preppy polo shirt lol out of curiousity, how's the weather? lots of snow?
Well, since you asked, a metal version of Hallelujah would be pretty kewl. Also maybe, White Rabbit would be quite excellent in metal. Good candidate for the bunny suit yea? *BTW On Hallelujah, I bet it would be awesome if you went almost Lamb of God on it's ass. Start 'em out easy, like 'Oh, you want some metal? Here ya go, a fine framing hammer for ya.' Then you hit us with a nice 'halleluuuu-YAAAAAAHHH!!! & it's freakin' Mjolnir for everyone's face the rest of the way. Maybe keep 'em off balance a little in the style of Cemetary Gates. Sorry... you're the pro. I'm just really hoping to see someone do some extreme metallurgy on this one.
My friend introduced me to Leo on a long-ass ride home from Miami to Orlando. I listened to a ton, but couldn't see the video on his phone (driving). Yeah, I'm home now and I love it even more! haha
This is cool. Leave it to the Italians!! I don't know if you take requests, Leo, but two metal remakes I'd like to hear: Paperback Writer and Time Passages. Peace.
Leo, have you ever tried to get an original artist to collab with you? Not sure how you'd blend metal and non-metal singers, but have little doubt you could make it fun. If i were the original, id be stoked to do it.
This is one of your best. Love it! How about John Denver Leaving on a Jet Plane? or the theme from Gillian’s Island? You could go all the way with that one!
Leo, I feel in love with yours shit years ago. Just lately it occurred to me that I hadn't heard from you in a long while. UA-cam stopped showing me your content from some reason. It's so good to be back!!
as usual, like every song done basically and this to welcome 2023......another great performance and great vesrion of the song. FL always does it right that honors the original song. Fantastic.
Happy new year everyone! Starting of 2023 with some classic 80s music! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Bloody Mary - Lady Gaga
Total eclipse of the heart (feat Violet Orlandi)
Rapture by blondie
LOVE SHACK - B52's I've been hoping you'd do a heavy metal cover for years :)
Baby got back sir mix a lot
Seriously what did we do to deserve you?!?!?! So amazing, week after week after week after week 🤩
Not sure why you would even say this...no one is deserving of this. Thank you and please keep up the amazing work!
Man this entire album "Songs from the Big Chair" is a wonderful experience.
I like Heavy Music and a sense of humor. So I love his and the contributing artist's work. Win win🤘
It really is
Yeah man, songs from the big chair was my first rock album. Tears for fears are brilliant and their music takes me so.ewhere else
This is an iconic 80's song that Tears For Fears did. You did this song proud
Captain Obvious 🎉
Saw it and had to listen as I love tears for fears, good job 👍
Best one you've done since your "Madonna - Like a Virgin" metal cover. I absolutely love the two breakdowns with the odd timing chugs, reminds me of Meshuggah.

Thank you mr youtube person.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World is a certified banger.
Great cover!
🤘
the whole album "songs from the big chair" is a masterpiece. quintessential eighties music !
This is without a doubt, the best cover of this song ever made. This not only translates well into Heavy metal, but your unique spin you put on songs, brought this to a whole new level of excellence. Well done!
Oddly enough, the message of this song is still relevant after nearly 40 years...
it will be relevant as time goes on, because the end game will always be you (family line) ruling over the world.
Of course it is , it's in our nature as human beings. It will be always relevant.
For me, this song IS the 80s - what a great selection to cover!
Your covers always give me a giggle mate, as I'm fighting cancer, and working on my own music. Keep up the good work buddy, really excellent. Love always to you and the team, Quo
sorry about the cancer dude
@@USA-NEEDS-OIL. Thanks mate, I'm still here, and still fighting bro :)
Thank you Leo for making the World a better place with your awesome presence and music, Happy New Year to you too bro!
Memories sweet memories right here!! It's like just yesterday Tears For Fears - Songs from the Big Chair was released. Thank you LEO!!!!
The drummers tempo change at 2:20 and 3:02 blew my mind !!
Love this guy !!
Awesome music remakes and Amazing talent.
One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Great job Leo!!
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood movies, "Real Genius".
Me too! I always visualize the house full of popcorn when this song plays.
@@josephhein9497 lol
Awesome movie.
Great movie
Rigging the one dude's braces so he thought God was talking to him was one of the funniest scenes in an 80s movie.
I love the original song so much. Have nice memories with it.
A brilliant cover to one of my favourite childhood songs.
Leo is one of my favorite musicians of all time.
That opening riff takes me baaaaaack. i swear i'd hear this song every morning on the school bus.
I had UA-cam music inform me that I listened to your songs more than any other artist this past year. You have a great style covering songs
Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls please! My teens were spent in the 1980s, and I have fond memories of watching all those classic MTV videos. Then I saw Metallica open for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986 and I became a life-long metalhead. 🤘
Another banger from my youth transferred into something even better.. It's been such a pleasure to watch your star grow through the years and shine as bright as it does to the world. Thanks.
Acting on your best behaviour turn your back on mother nature... That's so true, I see it everywhere. These words are so applicable. Thank you
this man's creativity knows no bounds
I don't know what the most awesome of this guy: his perfect voice or his hability to make each video with a different hairstyle
It’s amazing hearing the 80s songs in pure rock form. Totally gets me going 😀
1:58. My favorite part
Love Tears for Fears, and every time I hear this, I remember one of the greatest movies ever made, Real Genius.
Thanks Leo!
Same. Saw it on VHS in the '80s, and Tears for Fears became one of my favorite bands back then.
If you grew up during that era you had to see Real Genius. It's a moral imperative!!
I'm going to file this under "H" for 'toy'...
You absolutely never miss Leo. Awesome job
Once again making a classic better love your covers mate you take songs and make them better
LOVE the metric modulation all over this ...
Love this version😍
that time change!!!!!! twice! i love the subtle personal flair!
This song has one of the best solos ever.
Leo the man, coming in with the jam. \o/
Wow! So many memories came to my mind by this song! 😍
happy 2023!!! i hope you relaxed and had fun during your 'time off'/holiday because you deserve it! you look good...despite that damn preppy polo shirt lol
out of curiousity, how's the weather? lots of snow?
Oh yeah a blast from my childhood...again. Awesome dude! 👌
Less than a minute in and the level of production and attention to detail never lets me down. Good stuff!
This is always my favorite song since I first heard when I was kid
Leo, this time you really surpassed yourself. The change of speed and rhythym was musically ingenious
Wow, you went full 80's; buttoned up polo and a bodacious mullet. This was an excellent rendition of one my favorite song/band.
This is one of the most nuanced cover I have yet heard. Brilliant. You really get the essence of this song.
Tossing them out again:
"The Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters
or
"Do or Die" by Grace Jones
Keep up the rockin' work!
absolutely brilliant your skills are threw the roof cant stop listening i mean come on man you made a brittney spears song sound good pure genius.....
I loved this song when I was a kid. Great job Leo. I would like to hear Michael Jackson they don't care about us extra dark and hard.
If you have not heard it already Beast in black did a cover of "They don't care about us" that I really like
@@sergentboucherie yes I would also like to hear a version that doesn't sound like Michael Jackson
Check out one from saliva
Or "Give in to me", with Slash's solo turned up to 11.
THANK YOU for the overlapping time signature interlude. Fantastic!
This is great! You should do a cover of The Warrior by Scandal!
I can hear Leo doing
"Goodbye to You"
🤘😎👍
Great rendition
Everyone: You can never make a cover better than the original.
Leo: Hold my beer 🍻
How does this Talent not rule the world
Well, since you asked, a metal version of Hallelujah would be pretty kewl.
Also maybe, White Rabbit would be quite excellent in metal. Good candidate for the bunny suit yea?
*BTW On Hallelujah, I bet it would be awesome if you went almost Lamb of God on it's ass. Start 'em out easy, like 'Oh, you want some metal? Here ya go, a fine framing hammer for ya.'

Sorry... you're the pro. I'm just really hoping to see someone do some extreme metallurgy on this one.
One of my fav covers. Devin Townsend vibe to the main riff. Love the break downs!
Happy New year Leo, so looking for to this years mash of songs. Always a pleasure to listen to your versions.
My friend introduced me to Leo on a long-ass ride home from Miami to Orlando. I listened to a ton, but couldn't see the video on his phone (driving). Yeah, I'm home now and I love it even more! haha
The off-beat drums melted my brain. Love it.
Hhg
One of the very best songs to come from the 1980s. Good work on covering such an Icon.
AEEEE SIMMMMM LEO ❤ VÍDEO BRABO COMO SEMPRE 😎🤙
RESPECT FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷🍷🗿
Meu deus...ainda existe BR com bom gosto
@@Ian_Paneque claro que existe meu nobre
Vários ainda sabem apreciar música de verdade, mas somos poucos, infelizmente.
Tmj pessoal 🍷🗿 uma honra estar aqui com poucos
@@PedroLima0917 Я с вами.
Dude, even the film defects included...you are a mad lad! Great content, again and again!
1985: tears for fears
2023:*SPEAKERMAN*
This unexpectedly just made my freaking day!
this is simply amazing. Another banger from Leo.
SKİD ROW - STAND UP is exactly according to your amazing voice. It doesn't matter what cover you do, we listen to all of them with love.
One of my favorite songs. Excellent.
2:21 omg love what you did with the time change. That messed with my brain 🧠
I like it! Clean and heavier!
That time signature change...😁😁
This is cool. Leave it to the Italians!! I don't know if you take requests, Leo, but two metal remakes I'd like to hear: Paperback Writer and Time Passages. Peace.
Jeg elsker deg, Leo - thanks so much for all the joy you've brought us over the years!
Really great work! Composition, layers, editing. Brilliant.
Finally I've been asking for this for 2 years to thank you so much Leo
Prob the best you've done yet Leo. Epic classic
Too good man!
Leo, have you ever tried to get an original artist to collab with you? Not sure how you'd blend metal and non-metal singers, but have little doubt you could make it fun. If i were the original, id be stoked to do it.
AWESOME! one of my favorite songs from my early childhood.
Dude. You rock. Enough said
Dude you even nailed the 80's classic filming style. So many memories. Rad cover dude.
Another wonderful video and cover! I'm so glad you decided to play with the background triplets!
The original has a special place in my heart from childhood. I loved your version
Ah, I do love a bit of Tears For Fears. 😍
This is one of your best. Love it! How about John Denver Leaving on a Jet Plane? or the theme from Gillian’s Island? You could go all the way with that one!
That breakdown was fun! Love this one.
This tune will be my 1st purchase for 2023!!! SO looking forward to more cover song greatness.....Keep Rockin'!
Abba lay all your love on me! Happy new year, love u Leo
Once again a fantastic cover of a classic.
Great now I will have to watch this again and again for that ridiculously addictive guitar tone.
The original is an absolute classic, this just builds on that. Excellent cover. 👍
Now to bust out a copy of "Real Genius". 😀
Been asking for this one for years! Worth the wait.
Beautiful and magnificent song to start 2023.
This might just be your best yet, I love it!
Leo, I feel in love with yours shit years ago. Just lately it occurred to me that I hadn't heard from you in a long while. UA-cam stopped showing me your content from some reason. It's so good to be back!!
Omg dude you should hear this in my van. It sounds amazing!
I'd love more of your original songs
Classic. Love the timing change beats Leo. Your amazing in all you do. Never let me down. Frog Leap is 🔥🔥🔥
as usual, like every song done basically and this to welcome 2023......another great performance and great vesrion of the song. FL always does it right that honors the original song. Fantastic.
thank you Leo you gave me a flashback to jr high. loved your choice of clothes i had the rainbow of neon colors of polo shirts back in the day
Another sunny, positive cover.☀ Thank you for the outro, maestro. This is a special kind of arthouse.👏
