      Chat in streams are always like that, it's like if a dog too a massive half liquid shit on a escalator. It's worse when it's metal because it's ALWAYS got metal elitist arm chair posers that are furthest thing from being apart of the music scene. They usually go to one or two big concerts a year at the most and act like they know it all. The true fans of the genre that been to atleast one sketchy bar, put in atleast a show every month, and have grown knowledge from touring bands, know to appreciate all musicians that are out there doing it even if you're not a fan. The local kids playing playing their first cover is still out there doing it, the guy streaming himself playing the guitar is still doing it, the guys busting his ass to promote his shows is still doing it, the kids buying the albums proved the bands are doing it, and that's part of the respect that the useless metal elitists will never understand. You can be critical of artists too as let's them grow, still have to give respect, but then there is just being a asshole like seen in chat being dipshits. Those are the ones truly killing the genre.

      I think one of the biggest problems of chat-like systems, is the same problem that twitter has. There's only so much you can write that will be read, meaning, thoughts are unnecessarily condensed in to seemingly stupid statements/commments. Whereas here where there is essentially no limit on what will be read, there's nuance. But also, chat is cancer.

      Such is the anonymity of the internet, I'm afraid. 'Course, the only reason I even bothered listening to this cover was because it was done by Young, and REB was just an unexpected bonus. After numerous fairly crap covers I'll agree with Herman that it gets old, but Young not only did a cover worth listening to but did it in his own style you see in his other covers and original songs.

    John’s got a lower vocal range, so they adjusted appropriately. It’s not as technically proficient, but there’s just so much personality and heart to it. I’d much rather hear this than the kid in a Guitar Center who can do it perfectly, but then it’s just copy/paste.

    Hearing it's not boring me with almost 0 context could come off condescending, then I realized this man played the song, has heard it God knows how many times, and has seen God knows how many covers. In retrospect of that having any original artist say that about your cover has got to be top tier praise. Holy crap that's impressive

    This is insane to hear a band I listened to a teenager back in 2007 react to the guys I found on RUclips a few years ago, quite humbling to hear the praise because I know there are a lot of TTFAF covers out there, and while I think the original is still the best version, the Johnathan Young cover was by far the best cover I've ever heard.

    I like some of Jonathan Young's Disney song covers. Namely, "Prince Ali" from Aladdin, and "Be Prepared" from The Lion King.
    What stands out about him most, is that he's a Baritone singer. Not a tenor like most guys try to be, but often fail at being. He's smart enough to stay within his natural range instead of trying to force himself out of it. He'll change the music arrangement to fit his voice, rather than force his voice to fit the music.
