I'm 65 and just found this guy, and I'm a new fan I can't stop watching.
I'm 65 years old I belong to the old school rockers Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple,Atomic Rooster,Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes you name it !!But When I found this young man in internet I became one of his fans He's very talented and funny,so the only thing that I can say;LEO KEEP ON ROCKING"DUDE YOU ARE A GENiUS !!!! I ENJOY VERY MUCH YOUR VIDEOS!!!
55 I used to rock out to this on the nintendo Rock and Roll Racer! And of course all the bands you mentioned.
I’m with you on that one, I’m an old school rocker too (64) Leo is indeed very talented, keep it up, we love you Leo 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Couldn't agree more. I'm 44 and as for most modern music they can keep it. Leo should be mainstream with his talent. Instead, we live in a time of overindustrialized music
Hello! If you like this dude then you must listen to Jorn, also an man from Norway! He is so good! Doing Perfect Stranger 100 %!! Regards from en ex Challenger -71 440" in the 70,s!
60 yr old rocker here.....yes Leo, You have impressed the older generation of rockers with your talents. Don't ever change.
Im a Deep Purple fan born 1966. Dude you rebooted so many genres just the way I like it. Tour Australia with your collabs. I'll be there mate. Thanks for fixing music again.

Let´s go old school!
Frog Leap Studios pls do the Sound of Silence
Frog Leap Studios - great choice
awesome cover of a classic
Frog Leap Studios это очень круто))
Awesome cover! Another song that would probably sound great is Highway by Bleeker
yeah !!!!! Could you do Dani California by the red hot chilli peppers ?
This song was considered heavy in the 70s but Leo took it to a completely different level
I'm 65 as well. My 5 and 1/2-year-old grandson have been watching you since he was 2 1/2 lol. We are both still huge fans! And I want to say thank you for keeping your channel kid friendly. I know you're a good father and your daughter is involved in some of your videos which I think is awesome. There's actually so few channels on RUclips that are kid friendly that also cater to adults. Yours is one of them. Again thank you!
This is one of my favorite hard rock songs since I first heard it back in 1978. What an awesome spin that Leo has put on it!!!!
lol I like the faces you make while you sing. You sir have true talent. Rock on!
DP fangirl since 37 years here.man,you warms my heart with this cover.thank you ♥♥♥ :-)
As a die hard Deep Purple fan (espesially mk.2) this brings a huge smile to my face. Fantastic cover, bringing the metal level up to modern standards and still preserving a great classic. I mean, had this version been released as the original today it would still have been a huge hit. For Leo.. Bra jobbat från Sverige
Just gona start calling you "Midas", because everything you touch turns into metal! 🤘😆
This guy is up there with Ministry, Slayer and Anthrax when it comes to covers. Just awesome stuff.
Dude do you really realize how talented you are? You do this shit like it's a game and don't even have to think about what you're doing! Impressive!!!!!
Me, everytime looking for a metal cover and assuming Leo hasn't done one of the song i have in mind = Me being wrong = Me being happy af :D
OMG! A fresh take on an old classic! Love it Leo!!!
Я человек простой, вижу новый кавер - ставлю лайк не думая! The best cover of all RUclips! Keep it up !
More rock from this generation please ! This one is bloody brilliant !
Im 63 and I love it too ❤ thank you Leo 🎉
Highway Star is the defining track of what is now called heavy metal.
61 ans et j'adore ce mec !! Bravo !!!
Between his talent and his antics its a 4 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
FERSHIZZLE!
when I tried ordering the moracchioli at an Italian restaurant the other day, I knew I was hooked by this cosmic force....
When I was 14 back in 72, I took a trip from Texas to Vegas with dear old mom and dad and the rule was whoever was driving, played the music. There I was driving down I10 in the old Cadillac doing 80 mph playing this song over and over and over and over. Drove them fucking INSANE!!!!!
This sounds stupid and dangerous, but im not gonna sit here and pretend it doesnt also sound cool.
Wow, this is the best version of that song i've ever heard, thank you Mr. Moracchioli, very good work. I love it!
Check out the Angelus Apatrida cover, in my opinion it blows this one away
This song hypes me up, and Leo's cover just adds even more energy!
The best version of Highwaystar
This is THE best rock tune ever. It's flawlessly composed. Nice cover.
I love the double bass drum fills in the parts where you say "she's got everything" reminds me a ton of crush 40s sonic/shadow the hedgehog songs
Only just discovered you tonight @ 2.37am! Great Stuff Mate! Keep it Rockin'! Greetings from Australia!
Damn, Leo knocks it out of the park again😜
Damn Leo is still so lmpressive at covering top songs
Sir this to ME is the best Highway Star cover I HAVE EVER HEARD ...
Ahem.. ruclips.net/video/Ree-byztoJs/видео.html
Have you listened to the Chickenfoot version yet?
It is one of the best I've heard but the one by street artists that Coma Man linked to is The Best.
@@olafall_sweden nice I'll have to check it out.
@@leonardotheturtle6711 I did not enjoy this version...
That guitar solo with the keys is godly
I'm a true heavy metal headbands and I LOVE this guy!
Bring it Leo!
I can still remember playing this track by Deep Purple in my TVR S3 V8 conversion to give me the moral support to put my foot down lol.
This is great!! Man you are amazingly talented!! Your music is mixed better than major bands as well.
This original version of this song is already in my top 10 favorite rock songs of all time, but Leo's version is easily on par with it! This guy has an insane amount of talent! I love all of the covers I have heard so far!!
Leo wakes up every morning, sees himself in the mirror, smiles and says, Fuck yeah!
Mieux que la Vraie........Comme souvent avec Léo !!!! Merci Léo c'est Excellent !!!
only 348 thousands views? what's wrong with all of you??? this is a DEEP PURPLE CLASSIC! :O :O
Yony Gut1 I don’t think people really want to hear covers of songs that are already good....they want to hear the crappy worn-out pop songs turned into something worth listening to. Just my opinion.
Yea and this try hard ruined it
He's a talented musician no doubt but a terrible composer
Has over a million now. Just hope you approve.. :P
And porkchop? He makes a living doing this. And he's touring now. I guess he just sucks that much eh?
kinda feel like a dumbass for not knowing they did it originally...heard Type O Negatives cover thinking it eas theirs :p
HOW on earth did I end up here ? I was looking for a recipe for smoked ribs LOL dude you got amazing talent and although the black eyes freak me out entertaining to say the least I find my self subscribing now
MY FAVORITE DEEP PURPLE SONG
Wish I could have this much fun at my job.
Very AWESOME !!!
Respect from Purbalingga.
Slamet Mountain peak.
Great cover,Leo!
This song is one of my favourites and I like your version.
Keep bangin'!
Yeah I'm an old guy, just turned 68. Grew up in the 60s and 70s and I listened to everything from the Beatles to Frank Zappa however, zeppelin Hendrix black Sabbath and pink Floyd are all time favorites but when I saw your video sultan's of swing I was blown away, damm dud, you are the real deal. I love all your stuff. Just fucking amazing talent you have. Keep up the Great work.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
By far my favorite Deep Purple song excellent job.
kansas-carry on my wayward son.
i would love to hear a metal version of this
ruclips.net/video/sIl7d1VVwOc/видео.html
Gwar did wayward son, Leo would crush it though.
GWAR's version was pretty good. Think you're right and Leo would kill it
ruclips.net/video/H_UwEap5TDA/видео.html
Gwar
Hey Leo you're the best cover ever🤘🤘🤘🤘
one of my favorite purple songs. brilliant!
I think these old school covers are the best!
oh man cmon man this was such a fab fab cover but why didn't you finish the second solo...I was so so waiting for it...pleaseeeee!!!
Leo- I Love everything you do ! I envy your life my friend. Peace from North Carolina USA
Me also envy of his life and talent
Leo kills it every friggin time!!!!!!
After listening to about 20 of you covers this is my favourite
nice! how about Psycho killer by talking heads cover¿?
static07 YES! or "Nothing But Flowers" lol
Just signed up on Patreon, dude I will support your kick-ass music and TALENT all day long!!! Awesome!!
One of my favorite DP songs and this guy nailed it!
I am an old metal head. From ACDC to ZZ Top. I have heard them all. I have been on so many Concerts so far. But this guy is outstanding! God forsake!
Song ideas:
Flagpole Sitta
Radar Love
Blue Orchid
Smokestack Lightning
Anything by Queen
No idea how you had the same idea for Blue Orchid, I was thinking about that yesterday
Right? It's one of White's most high energy songs, it'd be cool to hear
First choice for me would be Flagpole Sitta for sure though
I second Queen and Radar Love.
I third Radar Love. haha. That was what I was gonna suggest in the comments as well
I would want to see a metal cover of "Another one bites the dust "
I'm astounded! I can't get over the brilliance. Much talent here. Well, I think this is better than the original. Great video, great production, great outro, cool guitar. Excellent all around!
fireball, deep purple in rock, machine head, made in japan = my youth. i approve of this. cheers
Possibly my favourite song of all time, done bloody well!
I think "dancing with myself" by Billy Idol would be a sick cover bruh. btw love your stuff!!!!!
Holy shit this is the best thing you've ever done.
I agree
He nailed it better than Deep Purple.
AllcopsRcunts no it s not
Vasco Bértolo In my opinion it is & I like Deep Purple . Simple friend.
That Serb Considering the shit covers he's done .This is amazing.This should be re released .
Una de mis Bandas favoritas de todos los tiempos.... Gran cover!
Excellent, pure quality. Rocks...
2:30 when you are making a cover from highway star and also a cover from any Sonata Arctica song
Heavy from Linkin Park please!
Wow. You really put some effort to this one. All DP fans should see and appreciate this. This is beautiful.
I heard this on my way home from work yesterday and thought "Leo should cover this" turns out he did :) Great Job Leo!
Black eyes scarrrrrrry
bonsai treehouse agree
FALO DO BRASIL. MUITO FODA ESSA VERSÃO, FIEL AO ORIGINAL.
Classic. I grew up on this stuff. Made in Japan live, etc. Thanks Leo keep on rockin
Awesome. The roots of metal finally laid bare.
Do a Crazy Train, please! Pretty please?
Not for nothing, but the original was proto-heavy metal itself.
Rez for a bunch of cool covers, but I've heard this live by original band a few months ago... :) All the difference is you have a lot to rehearse yet ;)
True, but he just cranked the "metal" to 11 in this cover!
Jon Boll yes... Yes I do
Best of Leo !!!
The Sound is amazing
Thrashin' w/ 1.25 speed! FTW!
LOL
ACTION!
I almost broke my neck
X2 speed turns it into Dragonforce-esque power metal
you're a genius my friend, 1.25 is brutal!
Please do a metal version of "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry..
Lanx he did an acoustic cover I think
Interpretation of Leo`s mind, also a kind of playing good old rock songs. Very cool
This puts a smile on my face !
Stunning version. 🤘
Cool version, try “Black Betty” by mountain please
Music from "full metal gacket"? Approve.
For Groundhog Day 2018: Metal Cover of "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher \m/
JJ's One Girl Band hay jj ich liebe dich
You here :) love your channel
Absolutely love this!!!
and this is your best outro ever! I love that riff
you're a demon from Supernatural... shit! Say sup to Crowley for me dude!
Dean Winchester's coming for him lol
Marshall Tran yeah, in that sweet black 67 Impala. talk about a highway star!
hell yeah i will ;)
Now if only Leo would do Wayward Son!
Shredder - Gaming For Science I had this exact thought about an hour ago!
deep purple is actually metal without this "metal cover". anyway, nice job!
Ivan Taufan okay, modern metal cover?
@Br00tal Teutonic Thrasher666 pearlclutching grandpa lmao
Nah Deep Purple is 60s-70s Rock/hardrock Metal was invented by Black Sabbath and Motorhead
@Br00tal Teutonic Thrasher666
To influence and to be actual metal are two kindss of thinks. Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were influencial for Metal. Not the first Metal bands. Of course you will find sokme elements of metal in their songs but then you also find some genetic genetic consistency with Homo Sapiens and the Homo Erectus.
Oh and btw I'm not talentless, musically illiterate knucklehead, Im studing music, play 4 different instruments and Deep Purple was the first band I ever heard. :)
Oh and Lemmy might call Motörhead Rock n Roll but he also sayed that he doesnt make a difference between Rock n Roll and Metal. For him metal is Rock n Roll.
@@TheKartoffel101 Technically All the UK hard rock scene was already labelled as Heavy metal in the early 70s
The First forms of hard rock and Heavy metal dated back to late 60 with bands like Steppenwolf and songs like Helter Skelter by Beatles
The early 70 band of the First wave of British Heavy Metal (How can you have a NWOBHM if you don't have a First wave) setter the various genres that form the Metal galaxy
Deep Purple were pioneers of the prog metal and the european Power metal together with Uriah Heep (the prominence of keyboards, the Grest instrumental technique and the classical inspirations are typical of the early prog and Power europea bands)
So Deep Purple ARE an Heavy metal band and by definition hard rock Is a subgenre of the metal and not of the rock n' roll
Yeah... It's impossible to make a "better" version of a song this bad ass. (love ya Leo).
Pure musical genius. just love your work
You're great
please please make a "black betty" metal cover
great version, just need the hammond h3 to make it sound authentic
You got it - raw energy, pulse pumping feel of Highway Star fully intact - cool man!
Awesome and long overdue - thank you.
I don't know why, but I really want to see a cover of 'Tarzan Boy' by Baltimora
Heeell yearh
