I always considered Rainbow to be sort of Metal (even though they're really just Rock/Hard Rock). I listened to them alongside Sabbath, Maiden, Saxon etc when I was growing up. Favourite non-metal bands for me would be (in no particular order) Tangerine Dream, Boston, Asia, Ultravox and The Smiths
I think it's a bit sad that most metalheads need to hear a metal rendition of ABBA to realize what sick songwriting skills they had. They are absolutely unironically one of the greatest bands of all time.
Yes, I'm glad that Kate Bush got more recognition, but what has happened and is happening with Master of Puppets on RUclips is just open milking to the max.
Even if it was not Bradleys intention, I'm gonna consider this cover an homage to the great Andre Matos. For his version of this song in Angra's first album. RIP Maestro.
Gentlemen may I introduce you to the Malmsteen equation: classical composer(x) X electric guitar distortion(y^11) = metal song. I didn't make the equation, it's physics.
My favourite non-metal artists would probably include Bowie, Joy Division, The Cure, Christian Death, The Smiths and Frank Sinatra. The Sex Pistols, The Germs, Syd Barrett and The Velvet Underground have also been pretty important non-metal influences for me Edit: forgot about Bauhaus. Practically got me into goth rock in the first place
@@thaenebrissss_96 early Floyd i suppose. I stopped enjoying it after Dark Side of the Moon. Personally i always perferred the unpredictable experimentalism of Barrett over Gilmour but sadly that only lasted an album and a handful of singles
If you're both into metal and classical, do yourself a favour and play the full suite "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Some really spine-chilling stuff there here and now, despite being fully classical. ruclips.net/video/Isic2Z2e2xs/видео.html
Rachmaninoff is metal as fuck, dude. You gotta check out this classic performance of Piano Concerto 2 -- there's a reason why it has 35 million views on RUclips. ruclips.net/video/rEGOihjqO9w/видео.html And Tchaikovsky was like, yeah, that's right bitches, the 1812 Overture score says CANNONS .... 100 years before AC/DC ever thought to do the same thing.
Favorite non-metal bands are definitely The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Storm Corrosion, Queens of the Stone Age, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Alt-J, new Ulver, I'm probably forgetting some. That ABBA rendition is sick btw.
The Darkness are genuinely one of the best bands around, at least in my opinion. Lotta people seem to think they're one hit wonders cause of "I Believe in a Thing called Love" but their discography is RAMMED with stellar songs! I saw them live a few months back and they blew the fuckin' roof of the place. Justin Hawkins is honestly one of the best vocalists currently out there.
Id still judt consider them fun party music. Theyve never written anything groundbreaking but i beyond respect richard hawkins for his songwriting and knowledge
My favorite bands have always been Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Rush. I really love Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Van Halen (actually is Van Halen rock or Metal?), RHCP, Queen, Muse, Joy Divison, The Cure, and Radiohead too.
@@Kaboom_inTheRoom yeah kind of, I thought id put it as a maybe because VH1 is pretty much a heavy metal album for the most part. But, they're more of an AC/DC - Led Zeppelin - The Who type Hard Rock band for the rest of their albums
My favorite non-metal bands (mostly as reminder to myself): Rock and rock adjacent: Pixies, Fugazi, Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, Hüsker Dü, Devo, Wavves, Weezer, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Swervedriver, Number Girl, NIИ, Marilyn Manson Electronic music: Pendulum, Machine Girl, Fatboy Slim Rap/hip-hop: OutKast, Death Grips
@Stephen Hughes Grunge never actually existed as a musical genre. It's an umbrella term coined by music journalists (similar to today's term "Djent") because "Seatle Punk/Metal" doesn't sound very crispy. No member of any Seattle band from the 80/90 ever used the word "Grunge" in a serious manner.
I'm not particularly a fan of that style, but he's definetly an intelligent guy with alot of knowledge when it comes to music and I actually really like this youtube channel
Some of my non-metal favorites: Anamanaguchi (chiptune/electronic) Ichiko Aoba (Japanese folk) Aphex Twin (Electronic/Ambient) Minus the Bear (Alternative) Joe Hisaishi (Soundtrack composer) George Winston (New Age) Weezer (Alternative) Fleet Foxes (Indie folk) The Dear Hunter (Prog Rock) Boy Pablo (Bedroom pop) Tears For Fears (Pop rock) And of course… Pink Floyd
Man, when you brought up Misfits, I was expecting something from the Danzig era. The moment you played Dig Up Her Bones, I was fucking thrilled! I love the Michale Graves stuff, especially cuz of songs like this and Helena (that one's a wristbreaker)!
With my experience as a metal head hanging around the scene, I have noticed that the most devoted metal heads are also the ones with the most diverse taste outside of metal. Not that it’s a bad thing to only listen to metal and only metal, but listening to something new once in a while is a nice way to grow appreciation for multiple genres.
King Crimson is my favorite of yours. Other non-metal bands that I like a lot : Olafur Arnalds, Toru Takemitsu, Isato Nakagawa, Allan Holdsworth, Ana Vidovic, Danny Elfman, Gentle Giant, Kevin Hufnagel, Dirty Loops, Mr. Bungle, Shawn Lane, etc., etc., etc.
Honestly seeing muse in the thumbnail made me so happy. My dad is absolutely obsessed with them which means i automatically love them too. I’ll be able to see them live in oktober during the theatre tour and I can’t wait !
For me I've been digging Indie Pop and Rock lately. I love the relatability of the indie aspect and the production value that comes with pop, and the grittiness of rock. Aurora and Night Spins comes to mind.
My favorite non-metal picks are... 1. Lupe Fiasco (The most intelligent anti-crime, anti-drug, anti-bs rapper ever) 2. Imogen Heap (One of the most creative singer/songwriters ever) 3. K'naan (A somalian-American rapper who describes REAL struggles in his music) 4. Nujabes (A deceased Japanese DJ who I hear might have maybe pioneered lofi chill-hop) 5. Joe Satriani (I enjoy a nice glass of room-temperature water) 6. Nobuo Uematsu (Composer for the Final Fantasy videogames).
Love Nobuo Uematsu too, the soundtrack is one of many reasons that makes me enjoy Final Fantasy games. And some tracks like One Winged Angel or Boss theme from FF7 can be easily arranged into metal songs really. And the fact that he's the same man who wrote tracks like Too Zanarkand and Aerith Theme is just shows an awesome composing skill.
my personal top is: 10) Opeth (when they became prog rock) 9) Porcupine Tree 8)Protest The Hero 7) Frederic Chopin/Rachmaninoff/Debussy (i can't choose, i love them all) 6)Alice in Chains 5)Radiohead 4)PXNDX (In my opinion the best emo/pop punk/alt rock mexican band) 3) Rosalia (only her early 2 albums) 2) My Chemical Romance 1) MUSE
I love when you display your talents unironically. Its nice to take yourself not too seriously, but only fart jokes really underappreciates your talent.
ABBA?!? Hell yes! Thank you for recognizing the song writing genius of Benny and Bjorn! Agnetha and Anni-Frid were also very amazing and talented of course. : )
Really incredible video, man! Loved every second of it. You just so happened to pick my favorite ABBA and Kate Bush songs too. I was floored by the Swan Lake piece in the intro, absolutely adore Tchaikovsky.
Well ... I listen to non-metal bands most of the time. I can't imagine being locked in one style of music. Music is an art and its beauty comes in many varieties.
Alter Bridge is the best non metal band of the last 20 years. But they have some heavy tunes. Shame that more people haven't discovered this band. Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti both are fantastic.
@@marcthedashergd6321 Alter Bridge themselves clearly says they are not metal. But Mark Tremonti even can be an extreme metal guitarist if he wants. His shredding skills are amazing and his right hand is wicked fast.
@@killer89x32 oh I understand now. But I do agree Mark Tremonti is a fantastic guitarist. The first time I heard him shred is on Open Your Eyes by Alter Bridge even though I discovered Creed first, and man the dude can shred even in very weird tunings. Even in Creed he has blistering fast solos in songs like A Thousand Faces and Overcome (two of my favorite Creed songs). But I honestly prefer Alter Bridge over Creed.
My favorite non-metal artists are probably Snarky Puppy, Reign of Kindo, Polyphia, Thank You Scientist, Fox Capture Plan, Coheed and Cambria, The Winery Dogs, and Agent Fresco
The non-metal statuses of The Darkness, Bon Jovi and Rainbow are up for debate but love Misfits and Muse! Also some other great non-metal acts: Depeche Mode, Bob Marley, Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Band-Maid, Bad Religion and ZZ Top.
My favorite non-metal artists/groups include Wu Tang Clan, Eminem, David Bowie, Nirvana, Childish Gambino, Violent Femmes, DeadMou5, Techn9ne, Rush, Hank Williams Jr, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Bloodhound Gang, The Who, Heart, Chuck Berry, Queen, Beck, Gorillaz, Sublime, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Beatles, Earl Thomas, Lead Belly, Muddy Waters, Chris Thomas King, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, As well as many others
Suddenly hearing you break into that really fantastic version of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," my favorite CCR song for sentimental reasons, gave me actual chills. Yes, I'm a sap about music.
Nice to know that Bradley also likes genre other than metal. Also my fav in this list are: Dakrness,Bon Jovi, CCR , Muse. Kind a wish that you like The Killers. Edit :Would you make the full version of Kate Bush "Wuthering height" with Kristin?. Her voice is powerfull & that solo is fire.
Listen the Angra’s Wuthering heights version! Was a brazilian metal band from 90’s… The singer died about 3 years ago The guitar player was Kiko Loureiro (Megadeath)
Good call on The Misfits. Myself, some favourite non-metal acts include Alice Donut (seriously, please check these guys out, they don't get anywhere near enough recognition), ZZ Top, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Specials, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, The Creepshow, Jethro Tull, Tori Amos, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Portishead and many, MANY others.
Hi !! If you like Bon Jovi, you may also like ALDO NOVA, especially their Blood On The Bricks album, and STAN BUSH AND BARRAGE. These are some of my favorite non-metal bands, along with GUN, a band from Scotland. And, if you allow me, a band from my country called EXTREMODURO. Unfortunately, all disbanded. Greetings from Spain !!!!
I love a bit of Stan Bush! I remember hearing his songs in the Jean Claude Van Damme movie, "KickBoxer"- especially "Fight for Love"! And of course, "The Touch" from the Transformers movie.👍
@@kylereece1979 I highly recommend you the album Stan Bush And Barrage, from the year 1987, which is where the song The Touch appears. Personally, I like this album better than the following Stan Bush solo albums. ruclips.net/video/r73yljcRREg/видео.html Hope you enjoy it !!! Greetings from Spain!
Really incredible medley actually, some of the transitions were cool. I like that you played the arpeggiation on Stockholm because I don't know that I've ever actually seen anyone try to do that on guitar before haha
Just a short handful, but right off the top of my head: Kansas, Rush, Triumph, Boston, Dwight Yoakam, Breaking Benjamin, Joe Satriani, and Dropkick Murphy's!
I am very deep into mid-90s ambient/IDM/electronica…stuff like Rising High Records, Warp Records, Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, Fax Records/Pete Namlook, Basic Channel, The Irresistible Force/Mixmaster Morris, The Orb, Autechre, etc.
I know some folks will disagree with me, but I always considered The Darkness, Bon Jovi, and Rainbow, to be borderline metal…at least close relatives to metal.
Muse, Starset and Pink Floyd are the main ones that stick out for me. I've always been a strictly metal guy except for a short period when I went very indie for some reason. So I guess I'd fill out my other picks with bands like Killers, Keane, White Lies, Biffy Clyro and Foo Fighters. Still not really leaving the whole rock area though.
Warms my heart to see King Crimson in this video. These guys were legit, and pretty heavy for their time, too. Also, Greg Lake has one of the best vocals in rock music
TIL I had a very similar musical taste to Bradley Hall growing up. My mum would play all the ABBA, Bon Jovi, Kate Bush and Rainbow albums in constant rotation while driving. My Step Dad was all about CCR, raised me on that from the age of 3. Discovered Muse around the Origins of Symmetry album time, and they quickly became my favourite band for the next few years. Can't say I was ever deep into The Darkness or Misfits, but I've mad respect for their work. And as for Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninoff, I barely heard classical pieces until RUclips was invented, much less name them. Keep on rocking
I used to tell people back in the day that the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears were huge influences. Because of them, I knew what not to sound like.
They definetly do pop stadium rock the right way, catchy, loads of hooks, nice solo's, it may be poppy, but it beats the hell out of any pop in the charts nowadays
i’ve gotta say, when i heard rainbow a while back something just clicked, they have gotta be one of my favorite bands i’ve listened to whether it’s Dio era rainbow or their later songs
Over the last 10 years, my appreciation and love for The Cars has been growing. Still not sure how to categorize them , they have a lot of classic rock roots, but were doing new wave-style synths before new wave was a thing, and they just have some of the coolest guitar solos in said poppy rock songs. "Shake It Up" has a solo which would not feel out of place on a metal album. ABBA... they had this dark undertone to their pop goodness. Just do a YT search for ABBA metal cover, and you'll get a long-ass list. I'm not a fan of CCR, but I genuinely enjoyed your rendition here.
I always considered Rainbow to be sort of Metal (even though they're really just Rock/Hard Rock). I listened to them alongside Sabbath, Maiden, Saxon etc when I was growing up. Favourite non-metal bands for me would be (in no particular order) Tangerine Dream, Boston, Asia, Ultravox and The Smiths
Is like led Zeppelin, sound metal
I do too. Dio Era Rainbow is metal. Id say the same for Deep Purple.
@@periachi4961 yeah, i think they should be considered classic metal
Neoclassical metal. Spotlight kid a great example.
@@periachi4961 I consider Rainbow as 2 separate bands as far as genre is concerned. Dio era Rainbow is classic metal, and the post-Dio era is rock.
Okay HOLY SHIT that ABBA bit was insane! You and Kristin should do a complete cover
Check out Avantasia's cover of the song
Just listen to Helloween's cover tbh.
Seems like she could replace the singer in 2/3s of popular classic rock or metal bands and no one would notice a difference
I think it's a bit sad that most metalheads need to hear a metal rendition of ABBA to realize what sick songwriting skills they had. They are absolutely unironically one of the greatest bands of all time.
@@HorseloverFat1984 To say that one likes this rendition do not in any way what so ever dictate that one does not realise that ABBA is great.
Seeing Kate Bush included had me excited, and then not being ambushed by Running Up The Hill got me even more excited. Great pick!
Yes, I'm glad that Kate Bush got more recognition, but what has happened and is happening with Master of Puppets on RUclips is just open milking to the max.
Yeah; I've not heard "Running..." for a hot minute; then while working (DoorDash), it came on the radio FOUR times today!
Even if it was not Bradleys intention, I'm gonna consider this cover an homage to the great Andre Matos. For his version of this song in Angra's first album. RIP Maestro.
He-he... amBUSHed
Wuthering Heights is much better than Running..
I really need a metal version of all of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in my life
And No.3 please!
It was definitely unusual, but not in a bad way!
Gentlemen may I introduce you to the Malmsteen equation:
classical composer(x) X electric guitar distortion(y^11) = metal song.
I didn't make the equation, it's physics.
Andre Antunes (channel name) has a Rachmaninoff metal version, can't remember the exact song though.
why? why butcher sth that is literally perfection and better than any metal/rock/prog song out there?
Can we have a full version of 21st Century Schizoid Man? Please?
As long as Fripp doesn't take it down LOL
YESSSS
I would say that song is proto Prog-Metal. More King Crimson BTW ,please!
Guys, there's an old man with a Fernandes Les Paul outside my house, asking me for a cup of tea. Should I let him in?
Canadian metal band Voivod did a cover of this song on their album "Phobos".
Your rendition of wuthering heights.... is phenomenal. Its a perfect song to turn metal. Excellent job.
Check out Angra's cover if you haven't already!

Lotta people seem to think they're one hit wonders cause of "I Believe in a Thing called Love" but their discography is RAMMED with stellar songs! I saw them live a few months back and they blew the fuckin' roof of the place. Justin Hawkins is honestly one of the best vocalists currently out there.
Agree! Black Shuck kick ass!
@@elcookiemonsteru Damn straight! I'm personally fond of "One Way Ticket" 🤘

I didn't want this to end, my matey is a really talented lad!
Just finished listening to King Crimson’s Red album on my stereo system, underrated, talented, amazing album.
Crimson at that time were kind of proto-metal anyway before Iommi made it official.
My favorite bands have always been Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Rush. I really love Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Van Halen (actually is Van Halen rock or Metal?), RHCP, Queen, Muse, Joy Divison, The Cure, and Radiohead too.
I'd say that Van Halen is something in between, like Bon Jovi or Guns 'n Roses. Actually like pretty much all these glam metal bands.

Some of my non-metal favorites:
Anamanaguchi (chiptune/electronic)
Ichiko Aoba (Japanese folk)
Aphex Twin (Electronic/Ambient)
Minus the Bear (Alternative)
Joe Hisaishi (Soundtrack composer)
George Winston (New Age)
Weezer (Alternative)
Fleet Foxes (Indie folk)
The Dear Hunter (Prog Rock)
Boy Pablo (Bedroom pop)
Tears For Fears (Pop rock)
And of course… Pink Floyd
Joe Hisaishi is one of the reasons why many Ghibli Movies are awesome. He's to Hayao Miyazaki is what John Williams' to Steven Spielberg.
Thought I was the only one knowing ichiko aoba. .
Lovely chords and voice..

The Dear Hunter is so underrated. For everyone reading this, do yourselves a favor and go listen to Acts I to V.

Muse is definitely my biggest non-metal band by a long shot… loved your Stockholm syndrome cover!
They do have some metal songs tho... I mean just look at Won't stand down from their newest album. That shit is heavy as fuck.
Muse are absolute gods. The greatest live band I've ever seen (only topped by Tool probably). Their energy is beyong comparison.
King Crimson is my favorite of yours.
Other non-metal bands that I like a lot :
Olafur Arnalds, Toru Takemitsu, Isato Nakagawa, Allan Holdsworth, Ana Vidovic, Danny Elfman, Gentle Giant, Kevin Hufnagel, Dirty Loops, Mr. Bungle, Shawn Lane, etc., etc., etc.
Elfman is a monster!
Oingo Boingo!
Love Gentle Giant
Olafur Arnalds is insanely good!
These are my top 5 non-metal artists/bands:
1. Bruce Springsteen
2. Marillion
3. Dire Straits
4. Pink floyd
5. Jimi Hendrix
Honestly seeing muse in the thumbnail made me so happy. My dad is absolutely obsessed with them which means i automatically love them too. I’ll be able to see them live in oktober during the theatre tour and I can’t wait !
I understand your father, I'm obsessed with them too !
Bradley did a stealth Metal inclusion by covering Wuthering Heights the way Angra did. As a Brazilian, i find it awesome!
I loved the Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov bits. I would listen to longer arrangement of theiir pieces with pleasure.
This was so much fun to watch!
Also Heavy Metal is sometimes just really loud Classical Music, haha.
I am convinced the old composers were total headbangers
For me I've been digging Indie Pop and Rock lately. I love the relatability of the indie aspect and the production value that comes with pop, and the grittiness of rock.
Aurora and Night Spins comes to mind.
Aurora is awesome. She's just so... ethereal.

Breadly?? His name is Beanley!!
I agree!! I would love to see him cover ABBA’s greatest hits haha.
Metal covers of Waterloo, Does Your Mother Know, or Hole in Your Soul would be nice
My favourite non-metal band is Blackmore's Night. Shadow of the Moon (their debut) is such a great album.
I also love Queen.
Once Angra made their Wuthering Heights cover it ceased being a non-metal song.
Agreed!
He literally cheated with that one, it's a pretty famous cover.
Andre Matos was the only man I can think of who could pull that song off
I never knew, ABBA sounded so much like Avenged Sevenfold.
BRADLEY WE DEMAND META- oh this is actually good
This is unironically Bradley’s best vocal performance, I can see the improvement. Keep it up!
I’m big into death metal but I admittedly love Deadmau5, The White Stripes, Post Malone. Can’t go wrong with CCR. Big grunge fan too.
@Stephen Hughes Even Nirvana had some early songs that were rather Doom Metal than anything else. For example "Paper Cuts" or "Big Long Now".
my personal top is:
10) Opeth (when they became prog rock)
9) Porcupine Tree
8)Protest The Hero
7) Frederic Chopin/Rachmaninoff/Debussy (i can't choose, i love them all)
6)Alice in Chains
5)Radiohead
4)PXNDX (In my opinion the best emo/pop punk/alt rock mexican band)
3) Rosalia (only her early 2 albums)
2) My Chemical Romance
1) MUSE

My favorite non-metal artists/groups include Wu Tang Clan, Eminem, David Bowie, Nirvana, Childish Gambino, Violent Femmes, DeadMou5, Techn9ne, Rush, Hank Williams Jr, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Bloodhound Gang, The Who, Heart, Chuck Berry, Queen, Beck, Gorillaz, Sublime, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Beatles, Earl Thomas, Lead Belly, Muddy Waters, Chris Thomas King, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, As well as many others
Bloodhound Gang.... I see you're a man of culture
Your Muse impression is good. My favorite non-metal band is Switchfoot.
Suddenly hearing you break into that really fantastic version of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," my favorite CCR song for sentimental reasons, gave me actual chills. Yes, I'm a sap about music.
For me it would be Liquid Tension Experiment, Polyphia, BERNTH and post-Watershed Opeth
For me, I gotta say that some of my favorite non-metal artists include:
Blue Oyster Cult
Carpenter Brut
Rush
The Clash
Molchat Doma
It's rare to find a person listening to molchat doma 👍
don't understand a word they are singing but i just hum along with it😂Great band
Should I be embarrassed for liking metal and Mariah Carey at the same time? 😂
@@miajc6606 No way, Mariah has a powerful voice
Nice to know that Bradley also likes genre other than metal. Also my fav in this list are: Dakrness,Bon Jovi, CCR , Muse. Kind a wish that you like The Killers.
Edit :Would you make the full version of Kate Bush "Wuthering height" with Kristin?. Her voice is powerfull & that solo is fire.
We need a full wuthering Heights cover!
John Coltrane, Miles davis, Maurice Ravel, Arianna Grande, Bon Jovi, ABBA, Queen and David Bowie to name a few.
Only a few metalheads who like Ariana Grande.
May the Godfather of prog, Robert Fripp get more recognition
Listen the Angra’s Wuthering heights version! Was a brazilian metal band from 90’s… The singer died about 3 years ago
The guitar player was Kiko Loureiro (Megadeath)
Muse is my favourite band forever. That SS cover was spot on! Found you by accident, but you get a thicc sub, mate! 🤘Keep rocking!
Alright I wasn't expecting Bon Jovi at ALL.
Rachmaninov is probably one of the best composer ever, very good choice to include him in the video
Good call on The Misfits.
Myself, some favourite non-metal acts include Alice Donut (seriously, please check these guys out, they don't get anywhere near enough recognition), ZZ Top, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Specials, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, The Creepshow, Jethro Tull, Tori Amos, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Portishead and many, MANY others.
Respect for going for a JLT era Rainbow track. I really got into those albums at the start of the year.
Hi !!
If you like Bon Jovi, you may also like ALDO NOVA, especially their Blood On The Bricks album, and STAN BUSH AND BARRAGE. These are some of my favorite non-metal bands, along with GUN, a band from Scotland.
And, if you allow me, a band from my country called EXTREMODURO.
Unfortunately, all disbanded.
Greetings from Spain !!!!
I love a bit of Stan Bush! I remember hearing his songs in the Jean Claude Van Damme movie, "KickBoxer"- especially "Fight for Love"! And of course, "The Touch" from the Transformers movie.👍
@@kylereece1979 I highly recommend you the album Stan Bush And Barrage, from the year 1987, which is where the song The Touch appears. Personally, I like this album better than the following Stan Bush solo albums.

Hope you enjoy it !!!
Greetings from Spain!
Wait, what?
A Kate-Bush-reference in 2022 and you DIDN'T play Running Up That Hill?
Is that even allowed?
Really incredible medley actually, some of the transitions were cool. I like that you played the arpeggiation on Stockholm because I don't know that I've ever actually seen anyone try to do that on guitar before haha
Just a short handful, but right off the top of my head: Kansas, Rush, Triumph, Boston, Dwight Yoakam, Breaking Benjamin, Joe Satriani, and Dropkick Murphy's!
İf you like listenin to Tchaikovsky and rachmaninoff you might like hungarian rhapsody no 2 by lizst
Alright, in bed with elise
is it bad that my favourite non metal band is weezer?
reply to me woooo
yes
Probably
Weezer is great. No shame there. Not my favorite but I love weezer
Never got really Weezer, but hey, why not?
Johnny Marr - The Smiths
Nuno Bettencourt- Extreme
Bernard Butler -Suede
Dave Navarro- Janes Addiction
I am very deep into mid-90s ambient/IDM/electronica…stuff like Rising High Records, Warp Records, Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, Fax Records/Pete Namlook, Basic Channel, The Irresistible Force/Mixmaster Morris, The Orb, Autechre, etc.
I know some folks will disagree with me, but I always considered The Darkness, Bon Jovi, and Rainbow, to be borderline metal…at least close relatives to metal.
Bon Jovi actually kind of did a metal/hard sound before. It's called If I Was Your Mother. The heaviest sound they never repeat.
Mine, although some would consider metal, would have to be Alice In Chains. They seem to be the home I always return to musically.
They are definitely metal.
@@Brandonmtlhd I think you could argue that they were/are alternative metal, but they rode the fence of Hard Rock and Metal in my opinion.
Muse, Starset and Pink Floyd are the main ones that stick out for me. I've always been a strictly metal guy except for a short period when I went very indie for some reason. So I guess I'd fill out my other picks with bands like Killers, Keane, White Lies, Biffy Clyro and Foo Fighters. Still not really leaving the whole rock area though.
Warms my heart to see King Crimson in this video. These guys were legit, and pretty heavy for their time, too. Also, Greg Lake has one of the best vocals in rock music
All my homies love ABBA
No Pink Floyd ?
*No Pink Floyd.*
@@Neon-Covenanter yes
To sleep? yes.
TIL I had a very similar musical taste to Bradley Hall growing up.
My mum would play all the ABBA, Bon Jovi, Kate Bush and Rainbow albums in constant rotation while driving.
My Step Dad was all about CCR, raised me on that from the age of 3.
Discovered Muse around the Origins of Symmetry album time, and they quickly became my favourite band for the next few years.
Can't say I was ever deep into The Darkness or Misfits, but I've mad respect for their work.
And as for Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninoff, I barely heard classical pieces until RUclips was invented, much less name them.
Keep on rocking
Lovely video! My favorite non metal artists are: Porcupine Tree, Joyless, Venetian Snares, Mandible Chatter, Nickelus F, Elliott Smith, Rush, Sigillum S, Paco De Lucia, and Sockeye.
My favourite non-metal artist is cardi-b
Everyday I listen to her voice so that I get reminded how good metal is.
I used to tell people back in the day that the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears were huge influences. Because of them, I knew what not to sound like.
Bon Jovi is an amazing band. I know most metal-heads when I was growing up (80s) liked them, even if they thought they were a little girly.
They definetly do pop stadium rock the right way, catchy, loads of hooks, nice solo's, it may be poppy, but it beats the hell out of any pop in the charts nowadays
I only see boomers hate on Bon Jovi, because they see them as a band for women. But I'd take them any day over Kiss. Their songs are pretty hype
Runaway - awesome song
Brad, my favorite non metal pick is a fender medium. Keep them coming.
10 - Pink Floyd
9 - Pitty
8 - Gnarls Barkley
7 - Cascadura
6 - Lady Gaga
5 - Discharge
4 - Legião Urbana
3 - Amy Winehouse
2 - Smashing Pumpkins
1 - Muse
Swept arpeggios in Stockholm Sydrome aren't something I realised I clinically needed in life
The solo at the end of wuthering heights is beautiful and not a lot of people know it’s there
Thank you beanley for introducing these amazing bands
Bootsauce, 6:33, Collective Soul, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Primus, Roxette, Spice Girl, Toydolls, U2, Warrant!!
Dude! You need to do more of these videos showcasing your different musical abilities. That was fuxing excellent 👌🏽.
i’ve gotta say, when i heard rainbow a while back something just clicked, they have gotta be one of my favorite bands i’ve listened to whether it’s Dio era rainbow or their later songs
Dude the first tracks tone was spot on Malmsteen style. Dig the list 🎸
It's pretty cool to hear you sing!
There was so much talent displayed in that video. It caused me to do all three things he said to do at the end of the video. Bravo!
Over the last 10 years, my appreciation and love for The Cars has been growing. Still not sure how to categorize them , they have a lot of classic rock roots, but were doing new wave-style synths before new wave was a thing, and they just have some of the coolest guitar solos in said poppy rock songs. "Shake It Up" has a solo which would not feel out of place on a metal album.
ABBA... they had this dark undertone to their pop goodness. Just do a YT search for ABBA metal cover, and you'll get a long-ass list.
I'm not a fan of CCR, but I genuinely enjoyed your rendition here.
Jeff Beck, Pentangle (folk), Miles Davis, ZZ Top, the who, CCR, Rolling stones, Beatles, SRV, Snowy White
dang playing the synth from the Muse on guitar. Beautiful.
