I do not own this. Rights to Quietdrive and respective label.
Dear Weezer: this is what I expected from you. You let me down.
I feel you ,weezer did a good job they just was doing an 80s cover album
@@eric13upinriop weezer’s cover was TERRIBLE. They Totally butchered this song
Agreed. I waited for a good chorus punch from them and it lacked. They did better when I heard them sing it live this summer though.
I've listened to many covers of Totos "Africa".
This is by far the best version.
Thank you so very much for this song.
Denandu try the Chaos Divine one.
I've already heard it but I like Quietdrives version better!
More power imho. ;)
so far the best sounding hard africa cover, no puking in the mic, just pure rockmetal
Completely agree
This
They may just be, the most underrated band of all time.
Sometimes you can't find the words to express how amazing a song truly is. This, is one of those times.
Why are there so many haters here? This song is fucking awesome
Gatekeepers bitching that their favorite song was covered, ignore them
The original kicks ass and so does this one. Awesome!
Africa with a pop punk rock cover?! Are you serious?!
Two of my favorite things :D
I LOVE this, i never liked the orignal too much, was always a bit too slow for my tastes, but i absolutely LOVE this, and i LOVE how they made it their own and didnt just play it the same as the original and gave it their own flair. 11/10!
That drum in 3:01, daammn!, amazing
Why is Quietdrive not REALLY famous?!?!? They are so good!!
This might be my new favorite cover of this great song!
Best cover of Africa by toto !!
Listen to Chaos Divine. Will blow you away
[blessing intensifies]
I like the original and I especially like this version as well
I think Quietdrive did a good job considering they style is more to pop punk rock.
Although I do like more the Chaos Divine version because I like more progressive metal.
Relient K did a really cool cover though.
Guys check out Andre Leite Africa . This guy is really good though.
The original song bores me to tears. This is great, would love to hear more like it.
Check out relient ks version
ear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in the twelve thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you!
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Omg this song.... I havent heard it since I was a kid
OMG!!!!! >DDDD
Guy's guys. It's not a competition over who's cover is better. Can't we just agree that everyone tastes is different?
Evilkat23 get outta here with your logic! /s
This is the internet. No we can't.
It doesn't even make sense to compare the two, they're going for completely different genres.
No way this is way better than the weezer version!
Wtf how is this cover sooo good?! An absolute banger, I'm jumping all over the room! This really took me off guard, didn't expect it to be so uplifting lol
Bro same it just came up on a random RUclips playlist while I was cleaning and before I knew it I was moshing alone in my room
Wow that was the best thing ever!
Excelent cover!!
i was searching so long for this song! heard it somewhere before dont remember...
i mean the original version gives you goosbumps but this trumps it Great job!
Quietdrive is the voice to my soul.
Top 10 Anime Intros.
This is by far top 5 best Africa songs redone. I like the upbeat faster pace.
Best opener ive seen and theres been a lot of shows ive seen and these guy preform like they are infront of millions of people regaurdless of how many people are really in the crowd
I really like the cover that Toto did of this song...
Full energic
I feel a light of inspiration coming.
2:58
Definitely my favorite moment
Same🔥❤️
After hearing that comatose anemic cover by Weezer cover I had to turn to this and get my heart started again
This is quality. Cheers from Botswana.
Damn, these guys kick ass
yes!
Wasn't sure about this after the Wayward Son cover (wasn't my cup of tea), but holy shit. This is fucking gold.
Love this tune -:)
Great cover.
I love this so much...❤ well done
this is such a great fucking cover love this song
que buen cover.
such an underrated band... so sad =/
I like it!
OMG !!!!
This is a fucking sweet jam...
best song
Those drums at 3:02 wooo
This cover is so sick!
This is great, it's like blink-182 versions done right
When you're a rebellious teen who watched Black Panther
😂😂
that aged well
People shouldn't be judging an art of any form and saying something they don't like is worse than something they do. artistic forms are a personalized and opinionated thing to talk about. i quite like this and i have heard other songs i like more but the differentiation is one thing i like against the original song. people have said that it isn't the same as the original and therefore it's not 'right'. there is no right way to play music. there exists a musical piece called 4'33" by John Cage and it is an orchestral piece made of three acts of pure silence. 4 minutes and 33 seconds of no notes from an instrument, the music is the background noise and sound of pressure in the skull that can only be heard in silence. it is indeed considered music because it is a sound, anything that is a sound or causes sound in anyway, is considered to be a musical piece in music theory. The more you know
I don't like your writing style. I like fireburn264's better.
Yes, toss all us hip-hop fans under one category.
Can call this "Africore" ??????
They did the impossible and made African sound good
Holy shit this song is fire as fuck. Btw HI CARLOS AND EDWARD
I'm so glad I found this cover, It's one of my favorites! I also like Relient K's version. Check it out!
If you wanna hear an homage to the original you go listen to the reliant K cover. If you want something even more upbeat with a rock metal sound you listen to quietdrives cover. Both are good. But personally I like reliant ks cover more. But this is just as good
Abi Days try Chaos Divine's cover. Awesome vocals and production overall. Metal version.
What's wrong with you? I totally like both covers
2:59
WE MUST RECLAIM RHODESIA
Would make a great anime intro
Why no on deezer 🕺
The best song ever? Just might be. Kicks the original version's ass.
+fireburn264 I wouldn't go that far. I think there both equally good
Theyre different styles of music that convey different feelings
I'm just messing around, man. I'm just a well-spoken white boy who just happens to love RUN DMC and Wu-Tang.
Thanks Reddit for letting me know this exists.
Obey Astn!
I’m am on the fence with this cover vs The Animal In Me cover. Both are equally awesome but TAIM’s is slower than this one which I think helps complement the original.
:)
:-)
Gatto
Tiktok brought me here.
Wow, better than the original.
Why is everybody talking about the cover
Who else is here from tik tok
so no mf listen to this in 2024 huh?
Am I the only one who thinks this cover rocks and the Chaos Divine cover sucks??????
Carl Bryant Yeah, you are.
LatissimusDorsiLoL YAAAAAAY!!!!!!
Nope. I agree
+Carl Bryant I tried to listen to Chaos Divine, I couldn't even get to the chorus. I like this one a lot better
+Carl Bryant no. no you arent.
chaos drives instrumental was better but this has better vocals. just my opinion
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk não tanko você tendo 500k de views
Drums
Yeeeeeaaahh, this here's fail. Which is kinda depressing, considering the knocked Time After Time outta the park.
Really? I didn't know Chevelle was underrated.
send help
Not a terrible cover, but I just watched a video of them playing this live and it was...laughable.
?
They were horrible live
You don't fuck with Quietdrive
good cover, 50 voices, over produced, but great cover !
Who else is here from ifunny?
Well yeah, i understand that not all that listen to hip-hop and rap are like that. Sorry for that. But it's mostly they who are "lik dis" that makes the most appearance of hip-hop fans beeing like that. Again, sorry.
Well at least i have proper grammar and no i am not a pack of cigarettes and yes rap sucks.
Nope. This one's too much for me. Lol
I like Quietdrive, but this is bad.
This is good, still...
I do think that Jonathan Young's cover is better...
It's okay, but Toto sung it better.
this is not good
Not as good as their time after time cover (n)
Is cool for groups to search ways to play. Respectfully I must say that between this version and Chaos Divine's cover, butchered, assasinated, destroyed, puked this amazing Toto song. After not paying attention to the song I got to confuse the lyrics with some "Go, go Power Rangers". Keep it up guys, but please, don't cover 60's, 70's and 80's songs. Please.
what songs are covered by which bands is not your choice to make. what you choose to listen to is however so its a cliche but if you dont like it, leave. people care about your taste in music about as much as they care about your favorite colour; its just as subjective.
It just sounds different than the original duder. If you don't like these types of bands, you're definitely not going to like the way their covers sound.
ytsjedi You said it.
Ryan Stock your take on this conversation is mute just like the OP you dumbass
Member the 80s? member member??
Wow. Each to their own but you get a thumbs down from me
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me to salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Not bad, I like Chaos Devine's better though. this Blink 182 style crap just doesn't thrill me.
This is at least better than the Chaos Divine cover. But both covers suck ass big time compared to the Relient K and Weezer covers.
