MJ actually gave his blessing for this one. And throughout the video you’ll see Easter egg after Easter egg of MJ videos
Yep, probably one of the best covers, ever
MJ said they could do the cover. And when it came out he liked it.
God I love watching people discovering music I loved at their age. It feels delicious...
Oh my god it's one of the best feelings to see them hear it for the first time
I’m a HUGE MJ fan but I prefer this version of Smooth Criminal. It was def supposed to be a rock song
Mj himself approved this song
A lot of people mentioning that MJ gave his blessing for them to cover this song, but what's even more than that is that AAF sent him the finished Video before releasing it to make sure he was okay with everything in that too.
He said he loved it but wasn't sure about the kid wearing the mask while dancing, so they reshot that kids entire part, extras and all, and sent him the edited version and he said after some though he actually preferred the mask version lol.
So not only did he give the okay for them to cover the song, but at their request he also gave his blessing for the video itself :)
Great reaction. Thanks!
"Be kind, rewind" -MollyBoyTV (2023)
Best tribute/cover song ever. Hands down.
‘This is a perfect cover’ is absolutely correct! I love it.
It’s ok that it’s not new. It’s new to you. Us Xennials rocked hard in the 90s and early 2000s. Some awesome rock and hip hop music during that time.
They were given specific approval from him before publication
I was there for the original and I was young enough to be all on on the re-make. MollyBoy...you are so adorable, for real...wanna bake cookies for you n' shit... You dig in to the music and that makes you freakishly lovable.
Bro. Your channel is becoming my fav quick.
I agree...best cover ever!!!
It’s a complete homage. They LOVE Michael! Btw you missed that the singer is sitting in the one white sequinned glove when he has Bubbles in his lap lol!
Also if you check the release date of this version is before Michael died and it’s claimed to be authorized by him.
Yeah, almost a decade before his death... @@killatokes
I love this cover soo damn much.
Did you see when they crashed the 3rd BET Awards? . The song was These Days. You should check it out. It was an epic day in history!
AAF are one of those underrated bands (they’re still producing btw) sadly though they had to reshoot the video because the kid doing the dancing got bullied REALLY badly because of it. My fave is *Wish* by *AAF*
The guy in the last shot is Flea the guitarist from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers...
it's just an extra, not Flea
Yeah.. ass kicking cover. ✌️

If you want another decent metal MJ cover, check out 'They Don't Care About Us', by Beast In Black. It is an absolutely sick cover. Cheers man.
I second that wicked cover love it
Oh my god I love this reaction
BOOM! I'm here to remaind you about Fear Factory - Self Bias Resistor!!
I also heard that they got permission from the Vatican also😮
I am not sure how old you are. You have one of those looks like you could be 18 or 29. That is not a dis by the way haha. I am impressed that you got most of the MJ easter eggs in this vid. Good video bud.
Love your reactions mate!! Keep it up. You said this was one of the best covers you’ve ever heard, and I wanna challenge that. Pleas for the love of god react to a cover of ‘lose yourself’ by kasey chambers. It’s out of this world..
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just watched 2 of your videos. Immediately subscribed!
Oh yeah, this song is so much fun... Also all the MJ references, so cool!
Btw, talking about nu metal: you should definitely listen to some Limp Bizkit!
Absolutely,🔥. Start to finish.
If you wanna hear an amazing Michael Jackson cover look up Billie Jean by Chris Cornell. He’s the frontman for Soundgarden and Audioslave. Has a vocal range that matches Freddie Mercury from Queen
I really enjoy covers! There's an old 80's song that was really popular Gary Newman Cars and Fear Factory covered it well and gotta mention Astronomy and Turn the Page by Metallica! I'm stuck in the hospital again and I'm going to go through some of your older stuff that I haven't seen yet , I wonder if leaving likes on older videos help? But thank you for keeping me busy while I'm stuck in here and please give a shout out to cancer awareness, and I really wish I could get you to do WASP The Big Welcome inside the electric circus, the big welcome is the lead into the song inside the electric circus I know it's not popular but there surprisingly good I'm not sure how it works but one of these days I'm going to pay you to react to this one
it's always fun watching people react to this cover... so glad you found it mate, liked and subbed XD
If you want a truly Marmite suggestion for a band that blends genres, check out Skindred (Gimme That Boom is a good starting point. You will be surprised!)
There are over 20 plus references to MJ in this video. I don't know them all.
As a Michael fan I never minded this song because they did a different take on it. Not like a straight cover which would never, ever compare to the original.
If you closely throughout the video there are easter eggs paying homage to MJ. I have counted 23 easter eggs how many can you find? Also, Alien Ant Farm were huge fans of Mj and contacted him and asked if they could do a cover and then later came back and asked if they could do a video. They asked how personal they could get and MJ just said let them do whatever. Now, when Mj first saw the video he liked everything except the kid wearing the mask. He thought it made fun of his illness and asked for it to be taken out. So there is actually a video floating around without the kid in it but then MJ saw it again and told them to go ahead and keep him in.
I remember seeing this when it first came out. Then I started to pick up all the MJ references
'back yaahrd' 😄 cute!
That’s American punk and/or SKA
This is just a fun one. I remember thinking the singer was hot. Hahaha.
Some people absolutely hate this cover, and I can't really understand why. A lot of Michael Jackson music has pretty hard guitar and bass lines. This cover plays homage just perfectly in my opinion. And I'm a huge MJ fan.
I should film my reaction of your reaction. I had my head pop back in confusion like wait what he ain't heard this one? Then that powerful grip at the begining
Absolutely one of the top covers. However, I have to say that Disturbed covering Sound of Silence and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt are slightly better in my opinion. And I generally do not like covers. But those 3 are the exception to my rule.
The Guy at the end was Flea from The Red-Hot Chili Peppers.
not Flea
@@garyr.31 Who is it then?
@@aaronbate2159 just an extra. Flea has never been that built. And the guy is also missing the gap in his teeth
@@garyr.31 it sure looks like him.
Is a very good cover and I can't stand Michael Jacksons stuff. I find myself jamming on this one though. Great video the way they show all of the Jackson past stuff incorporated into it.
🤎
You're close, but billie Jeane, by Michael Jackson and covered by Chris Cornel, is the greatest cover.
Does "Mollyboy" mean what I think it does? It's not something we say here. I'm just curious.
I doubt it, what do you think it means?
@@MollyBoyTV"Mollyboy" is a term meaning a gay man, or just a boy that's hooked on the Molly.
@@A5p3r07h Nahhhh you’re joking? 🤣 I might have to change my channel name now… I can’t be having that 🤣. I made the name MollyBoy years ago. Molly stands for Money Opportunities and Limitless Lucrative Years. And then the Boy was literally because I’m male
@MollyBoyTV No worries, I'm just an asshole that knows stupid stuff like that. I promise, nobody else will ever mention it. Stay true to yourself. Make it mean what it means to you
@@A5p3r07h I did have somebody ask me if I was gay a few days ago though so that’s probably what they were referring to 🤣
You need some System of a Down Chop Suey my brother. Energize your life!!!
How do u know all the MJ references. 2 young 😊
Try Van Halen,
Hot for Teacher....

MASK ON THE KID PRODICTIVE PROGRAMMING .........................
You dress more American than most Americans.
Because of the hat? 🤣
@@MollyBoyTV Yeah. You look cool.
how old are you mate
23
@@MollyBoyTV respect for appreciating these classics it is so difficult to find the same timbre nowadays in music
AAF are the BEST guys ever. My husband opened foe them in 2019 and they were hands down one of the nicest and down to earth groups we've had the pleasure of working with 🩷💜
You pause too much
Good
I hate this song! Always have. Sorry 😂
Noooo it’s a tunneee
@@MollyBoyTV I just can’t take the Annie are you ok parts. I like other Michael Jackson songs. Did you know Eddie Van Halen plays guitar on Beat It? Pretty cool.
@@MollyBoyTV oh and you should check out Van Halen Ain’t Talking About Love. Trust me. It will get lots of views too.
@@JBAKER97 yeah man only realised a few months ago though
MJ said they could do the cover. And when it came out he liked it.
