Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos.

Thanks to the guy who did'nt stop suggesting this
You think secretly it was the bunny?
Rofl
Indeed! This cover rocks 🤘
It would be really sweet to hear a cover of Todd Snider's Can't Complain. watchin this with the sound off, so i don't wake everyone up. But i'm gonna listen later. 🤘🏿🤠✌🏻👍🏾😁 Ministry &Co-Conspirators...
Leo RULES!!!!!
You know shit's about to get wild when the Rabbit pulls out a banjo.
This is my newest email signature....
Loool :D
"So, how are the new neighbors?"
"They're alright. Just a metalhead with a miniature drum set and a vespa plus a six-foot white rabbit with a banjo. Same ol' same ol."
So Harvey moved to Norway to hang with Leo.
Harvey is a great Jimmy Stewart movie about a giant rabbit, on case you are wondering. A great classical movie.
This is the ukulele :) not a banjo ;)
soo.. i forgot for a second foot is a measurement.. after reading this comment..
"what do you mean six he has 6 feet??"
I just damn near spit my beer out reading this!! Lmao!!!! Brilliant!!!
Imagine being Leo’s next door neighbor? “Hon, come take a look at this!”
*ma, the bunny man's doing weird shit again!"
"Shut up Timmy they're making music"
" Crazy neighbor youtube guys at it again "
Awesome!
Do you think he'd let me work the puppets if I was nice?
I'd b over there in a squirrel outfit ....tossing acorns around like glitter
Leo's neighbors: oh look honey, he's out playing with his friends again. Wait, is that the Easter Bunny...?!
bahahhahhahah!!!!
And SATAN!
more like Easter Island Bunny…
Fun fact: the original music video by Ram Jam was recorded in their yard, too... ok, without an EASTER bunny, but bunnies were present...
@@torstenraab532 And that it was based on the folk song by Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter.
What Norwegian sorcery is this? Just two days ago I did a search for Black Betty Cover and Leo only to find nothing. Now here it is? Get out of my mind you beautiful Scandinavian devil!
Whoever storyboards these things deserves a freaking Oscar.
This is not just a cover. It is a tribute, and a heavy one as well. Nice work as always!
Yes, let´s get retro with this classic! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Social Distortion or Mike Ness' songs - Ball and Chain, Winners and Losers, No Man's Friend, etc.
You're the best, Leo! Good luck!
Very nice.. now for something by The Hives?
how about a theme song:
Back to the Future
“Animaniacs”
and/or “Pinky and the Brain”
The Blasters - Dark Knight
Ini kamoze- here comes the hotstepper
Reef - place your hands
I monster - daydream in blue.
Bruce Springsteen - dancing in the dark
Aerosmith - pink
Just when you think it can’t get anymore mental... Leo outdoes himself 🤣🤣🤣
I like that you stuck to the "Shot in someone's backyard on a budget" look that the original music video had.
Yes, there's definitely some heavy homage to Ram Jam's version going on. Including the motorcycle.
Now a days I do not listen to any original song, I search for a Leo cover only.
Me too he makes all music just lovely. Even the songs I love the original he doesn’t do covers he does perfect adaptations in my opinion.
It’s not Friday without Leo!! 🤘🤘
I wanna hear "ain't no rest for the wicked"
Me too!!! I thought he already covered it
Hell yes!!!
Solid suggestion.
if you’re talking the Cage the Elephant song, then I definitely agree. good call.
Yes please this would be awesome
How does Leo make EVERY cover better than the original??
Pure Mad Talent!!! He has become part of my Friday ritual
Because everything sounds better "metaled".
I'm kinda torn. The Spiderbait cover of this seems harder, more frenetic.
I did enjoy the original a bit more (a lot more)
Unfortunately the original is better than this, but it's ok
because metal is awesome. duhh
I'd love to know what the neighbors are thinking when they look out their window and see a guy dressed in 70's clothes, a puppet, and a bunny dancing around a backyard.
Bunny looking like the guest fighter in Tekken
Looks like Shaggy used more than 1% of his power and invaded the donnie darko universe
I'm not the only one who thought of Shaggy.
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought Donnie Darko
The guy in bunny suit isn't named Frank... BUT THE CAMERA MAN IS.
I'd ballpark it at about 3-3.5% ;^)
I deem this the Best Comment
Finding this was a complete accident but I’m loving it 😍
welcome to the best underground club on RUclips. tune in every friday for more. 🤘🏻😁
I love how Leo (and friends/family) clearly love making music, it shows in each video and makes them worthy to be watched and listened to repeatedly!
I bet the neighbors were saying “that damn rabbit is riding that moped on the streets again”
I was thinking the same thing--his neighbors must either love him or think they're living next to a complete nutbag!
Not a moped, scooter
@@RyanGribble you stand on a scooter you sit on a moped. Alteast in the usa
@@TheNinjakat2010 incorrect. A moped is short for motorpedal which means if the engine dies you still have pedals. A scooter, is something you ride like a motorcycle but your feet are in front of you inside the frame of the bike vs to the side of the frame line a motorcycle. The scooter you're referring to is a kid's toy.
@@RyanGribble yup you're correct my bad forgot about scooters like that. Most I see now are mopeds and those kids toy scooters have motors as well now.
Edit: thought back to go-bots when you mentioned that
This is fire, because Black Betty is a classic old-school rock song, and I'm here for it🤘🤘🤘
Fuck yeah been waiting for him to do a cover of this for years now. Outstanding!!!
If you like this you should listen to spiderbait's version
Great version of the song. That is a gorgeous neighborhood, those mountains are amazing!
I imagine Leo's neighbors love him
"Hun, come look at the manchild playing with his dolls again!"
Love ya Leo keep on rockin!
The Boys of Summer by Don Henley would sound damn incredible coming from you mate! 🤘🏻
I agree that would be an excellent choice. My wife loves that song.
Good choice
The Atari’s made a pretty sweet cover of this
I have a virtual meeting in ten minutes- I need this to put me in the right frame of mind.
Happy Friday All!!
Leo you're music is amazing!! I really wish youd give us a metal version of all along the watchtower!! Keeping doing what you do brother.
Really glad you started showing these behind the scene shots.
I heard this song at a bar the other night and thought to myself, Leo should cover this. Get out of my head please.
Hahaha You don’t have any fun doing this at all, do you? 😀 🤘
'Carry on Wayward Son' is contagious. The amount of fun they are having makes me happy daily.
No. Its not fun. It's work. Hard work. The payoff is not always monetary. Its adulation. Took a long time to figure that out. I use to think I loved to fight....it wasn't the fight that i loved......It was the adrenaline.
whoa peter thorn!
@@mariacupo4955 it's my favourite song right now. it use to be listen to your heart, but Truls just knocks it out of the park. those pouted lips are just a crack up and I think his drum playing with his head bobs and his arms going way up in the air in between each hit is awesome.
@@vladdracul7810 Leo has to have at least a little fun doing it, otherwise, he wouldn't bother.
Metal cover of “steady as she goes”🖤
In Hell I'll be in Good Company
- The Dead South
This would be a killer metal cover!!
Hell yeah!
I second this one
I third it
4th
Or banjo odyssey
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the fact that Leo actually does something every week and works his butt off for it.
He doesn't just react to Tik-Tok videos and judge people while trying to look "cute" in fake glasses and saying vapid, stupid stuff to get more followers.
He doesn't sit in front of a wall of toys and comics in his basement and tell people whether or not he thought the new video-game movie was any good or throw shade at female celebrities.
He just rocks!
(and yes, I'm poking fun at 'can we all just appreciate' comments under bad youtubers, but I mean it when i say he rocks.)
He rocks.
Damn I feel personally attacked 😂 but I do agree with you, the guy absolutely smashes it every time!
@@thattomguy91 Oh, I'm totally making fun of myself with this comment, too...
I suppose, the raw material is at least 5-6 hours and the editing is the true horror. I truly appreciate this hard work!
Yes an OG you tuber that paved the way for many for sure. Love him.
One of my first singles I bought with my pocket money back in the 70's 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I'm 63 years old and I love every minute of it you're fantastic wish I could play like that
Jeez look at that landscape and beautiful weather. Looks like a neat place to live! I bet kids there cracked their heads a lot growing up near rocks like that! Peaceful looking and if ya have neighbors like Leo and his gang I bet it's an even more fun place live!
Now I'm waiting for Lowrider. Please please please with a metal cherry on top?
that last picture of Leo & Bunny reminds me of the Beastie Boys last frame of Sabotage!!
great cover, excellent video...love the bloopers
Leo looking a little like Shaggy from Scooby Doo! 😂😂😂
This was my thought too!!! Half expected Scooby to appear
Oh the rock walls in the background. Since one gets directly desire to come climbing.... oh yes... Super made the song and the video
Hell yea. Cover Surfing USA
Yes!!
Damn, that rabbit must work out. Even his pants are ripped.
I was thinking the same :D
That Rabbit is packing some serious Biceps, 10/10 wouldn't steal it's carrot!
Gold!
Alrighty there, you degenerate punner. #TossTheLike
This has to be the most fun one to headbang
how can you do this ?? how is this possible ... the original black betty is amazing ... how can you make THAT even better .. damn leo .
This man never disappoints 🤟
OMG the Bunny splitting his pants made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair! Fantastic job as always sir!
Do they capture that moment?
Gotta wonder if he noticed it getting drafty...
@@Crackrzz I'm not sure if that's the exact moment it happened, but in the outro it looks like it happened around then.
Love the throwback backyard video vibe!!!
You brought the teenager right out of me. A whole new reason to fall in love with pure rock again❤
Just do every song ever made, they all would be outstanding.. in my opinion !!
For real though. I look for songs expecting for leo to have already done it and a little saddened when it's not there
Philly in 1975 and 1976 were awesome as a 6 year old!! Red white and blue everywhere
Truth 🤘
Word to my mother I blasted some Weasel today.
@@rickdc7968 HAHA, I love some S.W. if you can't tell. I got to see the Riverdales back in the late 90s but never WEASEL. Guess not much different just no Jughead unfortunately.
Norway looks nice. I bet its awesome to be Leo's neighbors and hear all that awesome music lol
wow lets take a minute and check out those mountains in the background.. what an amazing view in his neighborhood. pretty sweet setup for a yard also. 8/10 id live in a place like that
He just made my favorite song even better
I didn’t know what was missing in my life was a screaming Norwegian man, but now I do 😁
Awesome! Welcome to the club 🤗
This may be a Lead Belly original, but we all know you're covering Ram Jam.
I don't think Lead belly actually wrote it either, I think it was a prison work song before
SithCats@@calebcleland8716- I was curious about the originality too...according to Google: Performed by James "Iron Head" Baker & Group - First recording in December 1933 -Released more than 10 years after its recording
@@denisemarie2985 yeah, that's what I found too
its more spiderbait :)
A Spiderbait cover 🇦🇺🤟
talented as hell sir. Spider bait covered this way back but you made it your own and gave it the Leo treatment. Hats off to you
Love the backyard video homage to Ram Jam's cover of this song.
Banjo Bunny was a surprisingly large reality shift for me. Rabbit on scooter, fine. Rabbit with water hose, fine. Rabbit doing choreography, fine. Rabbit with banjo, wtf? 😀
Great video! 🤘 👏
LEO IS OUT OF THE STUDIO!!!! Rock on dude!
yesssssssssssssss, one of my fav songs as a youth.
Rare miss this time. To convoluted the greatness of the song was in its simplicity
Old, but gold. Great version, Mr. Moracchioli and misterious bunny!
In Germany we say „du hast so herrlich en an der Klatsche“ and i think that‘s biutiful 🥰🥰🥰
I came for the music, but that backyard is beautiful.
One of my favourites to date.
Love it!
Capp, you here? :O didnt expect you to like this kind of music :)
@@TakiTamPunk Its the primary music genre I listen to. And Ive been listening to Leo for years.
You two are funny
Well done, Leo and crew!
Jeg elsker det! Tusen takk!
Your best outro yet.
Allways fascinated what incredible good sound this little drum kit makes!
The little drum set is just a toy, just like any other music video he sings it in the studio and then does the music video, I'm guessing lip singing over it, that part I'm not sure about.
Every time I get a song stuck in my head, Leo releases the metal cover the following Friday :D
So??? What's next??? ;)
WE BEGGED FOR IT THANK YOU LEO!!!!!
Pure Gold!!!!
Black bunny 😎🖤🎸👍 sounds great, love it 😎
Damn!!!
Dude you are a undiscovered gem to the music. You make every song so much more enjoyable.
This is the only version of this song that makes me smile. Thank you!
I find the outtakes music is the best. Don’t forgot to listen until the end.
The kind of jam to get my Friday started on a good note. Great job leo!
I think you'd slay Roxanne, by the police
That guitar solo shreds \m/
So AWESOME!!! Loved it!
Didn’t know I needed this
YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW! The last time that i enjoyed a metal cover was from Spiderbait... well done Leo, you gave the Black Betty a new metal essence! i really enjoyed it!
I admit, I was afraid. I saw what this song was and thought "well yeah, Spiderbait did such a good job though, this is a softball for Leo"... aaaaand he then proceeded to do something entirely different.
Automatically one of my faves. Holy shit it just fits so well.
YES YES YES!! Black Betty is my Jeeps name. Now I can blast this version too!!
I can only think of Rayman legends when I hear this song anymore
That level is epic.
LOVED THIS!!!!!!
This was unexpected. 1 of my fave songs of my time. Thanks Leo.
I have been following the tunes for about 3 years or so. They are still great. Do your thing, we love the music and you!
That part with the hose reminded me of the Chris Farley movie blacksheep
That was actually Tommy Boy but it totally does!
@@katiedoan1885 oh yeah it was tommy boy, sorry I must have eaten too many paint chips when I was a child. 😂
I love EVERYTHING YOU DO!!! My 2 and 5 year old daughters love you even more! They requested that you would do more Disney songs 😅
Amazing as usual!!!
We need the summer classics they play all summer Leoized.
I think he should do “Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri next
Jar O' Farts
Ooh yeah!
@@shia_labeouf And once again I was too late to the party.
I didn't know I needed this till now
Yesss!! 💯
Mannfred Mann's 'Blinded by the Light' would be soooo sick!
💪👌👍
or how 'bout Bruce Springsteens "Blinded by the light"!
I remember that in school.
awesome idea
I love the outtakes thanks Leo
Love the respect you gave to the original...
Black Betty has needed to be a metal cover since it came out.
Never heard Spiderbait's version?
Also I Touch Myself by The Divinyls please! 🙏🙏
Yes! Please don't ever stop doing these
This was a breath of fresh air from the studio. nicely done
