Best one you've done since your "Madonna - Like a Virgin" metal cover. I absolutely love the two breakdowns with the odd timing chugs, reminds me of Meshuggah.
80's music in many ways was never my jam. Tears for Fear is a gem from that era though, and this song especially. This song is a masterpiece and this cover is excellent. Thank you mr youtube person.
This is without a doubt, the best cover of this song ever made. This not only translates well into Heavy metal, but your unique spin you put on songs, brought this to a whole new level of excellence. Well done!
Your covers always give me a giggle mate, as I'm fighting cancer, and working on my own music. Keep up the good work buddy, really excellent. Love always to you and the team, Quo
Another banger from my youth transferred into something even better.. It's been such a pleasure to watch your star grow through the years and shine as bright as it does to the world. Thanks.
Well, since you asked, a metal version of Hallelujah would be pretty kewl. Also maybe, White Rabbit would be quite excellent in metal. Good candidate for the bunny suit yea? *BTW On Hallelujah, I bet it would be awesome if you went almost Lamb of God on it's ass. Start 'em out easy, like 'Oh, you want some metal? Here ya go, a fine framing hammer for ya.' Then you hit us with a nice 'halleluuuu-YAAAAAAHHH!!! & it's freakin' Mjolnir for everyone's face the rest of the way. Maybe keep 'em off balance a little in the style of Cemetary Gates. Sorry... you're the pro. I'm just really hoping to see someone do some extreme metallurgy on this one.
Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls please! My teens were spent in the 1980s, and I have fond memories of watching all those classic MTV videos. Then I saw Metallica open for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986 and I became a life-long metalhead. 🤘
My friend introduced me to Leo on a long-ass ride home from Miami to Orlando. I listened to a ton, but couldn't see the video on his phone (driving). Yeah, I'm home now and I love it even more! haha
Leo, have you ever tried to get an original artist to collab with you? Not sure how you'd blend metal and non-metal singers, but have little doubt you could make it fun. If i were the original, id be stoked to do it.
happy 2023!!! i hope you relaxed and had fun during your 'time off'/holiday because you deserve it! you look good...despite that damn preppy polo shirt lol out of curiousity, how's the weather? lots of snow?
This is cool. Leave it to the Italians!! I don't know if you take requests, Leo, but two metal remakes I'd like to hear: Paperback Writer and Time Passages. Peace.
Another 80's song...I know this one has some twang....but what about doing "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earl. It would be really awesome to see what you could do with that tune!
Happy new year everyone! Starting of 2023 with some classic 80s music! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Bloody Mary - Lady Gaga
Total eclipse of the heart (feat Violet Orlandi)
Rapture by blondie
LOVE SHACK - B52's I've been hoping you'd do a heavy metal cover for years :)
Baby got back sir mix a lot
Seriously what did we do to deserve you?!?!?! So amazing, week after week after week after week 🤩
Not sure why you would even say this...no one is deserving of this. Thank you and please keep up the amazing work!
Man this entire album "Songs from the Big Chair" is a wonderful experience.
I like Heavy Music and a sense of humor. So I love his and the contributing artist's work. Win win🤘
It really is
Yeah man, songs from the big chair was my first rock album. Tears for fears are brilliant and their music takes me so.ewhere else
This is an iconic 80's song that Tears For Fears did. You did this song proud
Captain Obvious 🎉
Saw it and had to listen as I love tears for fears, good job 👍

Thank you mr youtube person.
the whole album "songs from the big chair" is a masterpiece. quintessential eighties music !
For me, this song IS the 80s - what a great selection to cover!
Everybody Wants To Rule The World is a certified banger.
Great cover!
🤘
Oddly enough, the message of this song is still relevant after nearly 40 years...
it will be relevant as time goes on, because the end game will always be you (family line) ruling over the world.
Of course it is , it's in our nature as human beings. It will be always relevant.
This is without a doubt, the best cover of this song ever made. This not only translates well into Heavy metal, but your unique spin you put on songs, brought this to a whole new level of excellence. Well done!
I love the original song so much. Have nice memories with it.
A brilliant cover to one of my favourite childhood songs.
That opening riff takes me baaaaaack. i swear i'd hear this song every morning on the school bus.
Memories sweet memories right here!! It's like just yesterday Tears For Fears - Songs from the Big Chair was released. Thank you LEO!!!!
One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Great job Leo!!
Your covers always give me a giggle mate, as I'm fighting cancer, and working on my own music. Keep up the good work buddy, really excellent. Love always to you and the team, Quo
sorry about the cancer dude
@@USA-NEEDS-OIL. Thanks mate, I'm still here, and still fighting bro :)
Leo is one of my favorite musicians of all time.
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood movies, "Real Genius".
Me too! I always visualize the house full of popcorn when this song plays.
@@josephhein9497 lol
Awesome movie.
Great movie
Rigging the one dude's braces so he thought God was talking to him was one of the funniest scenes in an 80s movie.
Thank you Leo for making the World a better place with your awesome presence and music, Happy New Year to you too bro!
Acting on your best behaviour turn your back on mother nature... That's so true, I see it everywhere. These words are so applicable. Thank you
I had RUclips music inform me that I listened to your songs more than any other artist this past year. You have a great style covering songs
The drummers tempo change at 2:20 and 3:02 blew my mind !!
Love this guy !!
Awesome music remakes and Amazing talent.
this man's creativity knows no bounds
I don't know what the most awesome of this guy: his perfect voice or his hability to make each video with a different hairstyle
Another banger from my youth transferred into something even better.. It's been such a pleasure to watch your star grow through the years and shine as bright as it does to the world. Thanks.
How does this Talent not rule the world
It’s amazing hearing the 80s songs in pure rock form. Totally gets me going 😀
You absolutely never miss Leo. Awesome job
Well, since you asked, a metal version of Hallelujah would be pretty kewl.
Also maybe, White Rabbit would be quite excellent in metal. Good candidate for the bunny suit yea?

LOVE the metric modulation all over this ...
This song has one of the best solos ever.
One of my favorite songs. Excellent.
Love this version😍
that time change!!!!!! twice! i love the subtle personal flair!
Wow! So many memories came to my mind by this song! 😍
Less than a minute in and the level of production and attention to detail never lets me down. Good stuff!
Once again making a classic better love your covers mate you take songs and make them better
Leo, this time you really surpassed yourself. The change of speed and rhythym was musically ingenious
Love Tears for Fears, and every time I hear this, I remember one of the greatest movies ever made, Real Genius.
Thanks Leo!
Same. Saw it on VHS in the '80s, and Tears for Fears became one of my favorite bands back then.
If you grew up during that era you had to see Real Genius. It's a moral imperative!!
I'm going to file this under "H" for 'toy'...
Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls please! My teens were spent in the 1980s, and I have fond memories of watching all those classic MTV videos. Then I saw Metallica open for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986 and I became a life-long metalhead. 🤘
This is always my favorite song since I first heard when I was kid
Great rendition
Oh yeah a blast from my childhood...again. Awesome dude! 👌
THANK YOU for the overlapping time signature interlude. Fantastic!
I loved this song when I was a kid. Great job Leo. I would like to hear Michael Jackson they don't care about us extra dark and hard.
If you have not heard it already Beast in black did a cover of "They don't care about us" that I really like
@@sergentboucherie yes I would also like to hear a version that doesn't sound like Michael Jackson
Check out one from saliva
Or "Give in to me", with Slash's solo turned up to 11.
This is one of the most nuanced cover I have yet heard. Brilliant. You really get the essence of this song.
Tossing them out again:
"The Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters
or
"Do or Die" by Grace Jones
Keep up the rockin' work!
Once again a fantastic cover of a classic.
This is great! You should do a cover of The Warrior by Scandal!
I can hear Leo doing
"Goodbye to You"
🤘😎👍
One of the very best songs to come from the 1980s. Good work on covering such an Icon.
Wow, you went full 80's; buttoned up polo and a bodacious mullet. This was an excellent rendition of one my favorite song/band.
1:58. My favorite part
Everyone: You can never make a cover better than the original.
Leo: Hold my beer 🍻
Great now I will have to watch this again and again for that ridiculously addictive guitar tone.
The off-beat drums melted my brain. Love it.
Hhg
this is simply amazing. Another banger from Leo.
Happy New year Leo, so looking for to this years mash of songs. Always a pleasure to listen to your versions.
Abba lay all your love on me! Happy new year, love u Leo
AEEEE SIMMMMM LEO ❤ VÍDEO BRABO COMO SEMPRE 😎🤙
RESPECT FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷🍷🗿
Meu deus...ainda existe BR com bom gosto
@@Ian_Paneque claro que existe meu nobre
Vários ainda sabem apreciar música de verdade, mas somos poucos, infelizmente.
Tmj pessoal 🍷🗿 uma honra estar aqui com poucos
@@PedroLima0917 Я с вами.
I'd love more of your original songs
1985: tears for fears

Leo the man, coming in with the jam. \o/
Dude, even the film defects included...you are a mad lad! Great content, again and again!
Finally I've been asking for this for 2 years to thank you so much Leo
Really great work! Composition, layers, editing. Brilliant.
Most excellent rendition! 👏🏼
AWESOME! one of my favorite songs from my early childhood.
The original has a special place in my heart from childhood. I loved your version
That breakdown was fun! Love this one.
Beautiful and magnificent song to start 2023.
My friend introduced me to Leo on a long-ass ride home from Miami to Orlando. I listened to a ton, but couldn't see the video on his phone (driving). Yeah, I'm home now and I love it even more! haha
Prob the best you've done yet Leo. Epic classic

I love this song
Love this cover. Excellent job.
SKİD ROW - STAND UP is exactly according to your amazing voice. It doesn't matter what cover you do, we listen to all of them with love.
i hear lyrics a lot more clearer when your singing them.. you amazing brother!!
This is cool. Leave it to the Italians!! I don't know if you take requests, Leo, but two metal remakes I'd like to hear: Paperback Writer and Time Passages. Peace.
Dude you even nailed the 80's classic filming style. So many memories. Rad cover dude.
Jeg elsker deg, Leo - thanks so much for all the joy you've brought us over the years!
2:21 omg love what you did with the time change. That messed with my brain 🧠
Another 80's song...I know this one has some twang....but what about doing "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earl. It would be really awesome to see what you could do with that tune!
Childhood anthem growing up. Excellent cover
This might just be your best yet, I love it!

Happy new year everybody. Tears for Fears is one of the greatest ever.
Such a good tune
