    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.

    Cool as always Leo. I think you are one of the best at understanding how to "remix" a song.
    Because, one have to pounder on how to make the new version. Acceptable to most and you know how to...
    Respect to your tallent and understanding of the source material 🙂👍

    At first, I was a bit worried about this, because I have heard this song so many times (and also tried myself on a vocal cover once myself). But man, what can't you do? This is so amazing!!!
