the drummer had one glove like michael did

Okay, I know this was a year ago, but I've watched at least 30 reactions to this and I get so frustrated that people who claim to love and worship MJ don't get anything but the dudes doing the Thriller moves. Thank you. How no one picks up on dude sitting in a silver glove with a monkey, I don't know. And Billie Jean. That was so iconic. I haven't seen anyone catch on to that.

this video in every aspect paid mad respect to the king of pop, the whole video is an easter egg if you think about it.

The silver diamond glove on drummer and the seat he sits in is a nod to Jackson’s glove he wore

The singer was walking around like one of the zombies in the Thriller video. They killed it!

I love when people notice & appreciate ALL the Easter eggs!

Check out "Movies" by Alien Ant Farm. There's a rather special cameo by an actor from a classic 80s movie in the video.

Alien Ant Farm actually crashed the 2003 BET awards to film a video, that video is a entertaining watch! The song was called These Days

Another Easter egg was the sequined glove chair the singer & chimpanzee were sitting in

I love alien ant farm, this cover is dope!

One other Easter egg. Dude with the "Thriller" eyes at the end also had an Elizabeth Taylor tattoo on his back. Michael Jackson and Taylor were friends in real life.

This was basically a “punk” band paying homage to MJ. They said he was an inspiration for music. He created moves that no one could replicate

This metal cover to the MJ original was legit. This was a major hit off their album. They had a few other good songs/hits off that album.... but in hindsight I wonder if the success of this cover hurt the band because they seemed have disappeared after this album.

yours is the third reaction to Alien Ant Farm's cover and you are the first to catch most of the spoofs they did on Michael. the drummer had one glove like Michael wore and the chair he is sitting in is also the glitter glove. There is also the liz taylor tattoo for his relationship with Liz. But I loved watching you catch the little spoofs! great reaction!

I love seeing all the nu metal era reactions. Reminds me of my late teens early 20's years. Every rock album that came out for about 10 years was amazing. Definitely a very nich time in music. I remember seeing these guys play this song live as an opening band. So original at the time.

I use to listen to this non stop growing up. AAF was lit!

I have always and forever will love MJ...and this song. It doesn't surprise me MJ approved, because they really did him proud. Definitely on the best covers list, because while they made it theirs they still stayed true to the song! That's the mark of a great cover, and it's rare.

OMG!! AAF..... great reaction. Movies, These Days and Glow are some of my favourites.

Alien Ant Farm "Live" on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, April 12th... Free show too!

My favorite touch has always been the singer lighting up the mailbox, cuz its also a Billie Jean reference, cuz at some point in the video, Michael props his foot up on a trashcan to tie his shoe, and the trashcan lights up.

One of the best covers anyone has done of a Micheal Jackson song. Anthonlogy is a great album with a couple of their songs from the album being on Tony Hawks skateboarding and Shawn Palmer Snowboarding games.

I just loved how "true" to the sound of the original the song was and how it paid so much homage to MJ with the video. They weren't trying to belittle MJ. I can't remember where I read it but it was a interview with AAF where they said that MJ is iconic (MJ was still alive at the time).

the lead singer "Dryden Mitchell" was in a accident back in 2002 and suffered a fractured C2 vertebra and thats probably why he dances like that .

Some drummers wear gloves because they sweat and helps hold onto the sticks better.🤟🏻🤟🏻

AAF was actually a pretty dope band for the era the came out in. You should check out some of their Original, and yes and you can tell you'll want the music videos of them. "Movies" and "Attitude" are 2 great choices.

This was slightly better than the original - sad but TRUE!

Dryden (AAF singer) and the singer from Powerman 5000 mustve learned to dance from the same place, awkward as shit. Still the best cover of a MJ song yet.

Love The 90’s !!!!!!!!! Its The Michael Jackson one 🧤 glove .

You said.." That guy right there fucking it up"... I lost it.🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, dude you got alot of hits but Mike's signature sequined glove? Jesus I feel old when these youngsters didn't see it like I did.

Yo you figure out all hidden stuff in the video except for the glove chair I got the chance to see MJ back in 84 at dodger stadium ain’t no one nowadays close to MJ no one!!!! Love the reaction you got a new fan much love

Brought back some great memories, loved this version of the song 🤘

Another classic song

You caught more MJ references than any other reaction

Oh, yeah, bro, I got this whole CD really good, great reaction.👏🔥💯👍👏🔥💯👍

This video always gets my day. So glad you got all the references! You'd be surprised how many don't!

It's more than just a cover of the song but a tribute to him as huge fans of MJ. He apparently loved it and they even reshot part of the video at his request but then he wanted it changed back.

Another Easter egg, the black shoes/white socks MJ was known for.

I used to have the song on cassette (MC) so cool. both sides just this song and then Rock on...😎🤘🏻

5:34 Another easter egg - the lead singer is pulling up his pants legs to look like MJs, as well as revealing that he's wearing white socks and black shoes like MJ.

The bass player was in no means awkward OR mess up the lean, you dope. The bass player's expressions and back up lyrics were freaking electrifying!! I could not keep my eyes off him. The drummer has one white glove in his homage to MJ. This is my favorite cover of all time. Possibly my fav video, too. It's fun. The beat is addictive. You can't NOT dance or move when this song is on! AAF you freaking rock!! Always.

I loved the film clips from the 80s and 90s and early 2000s.

Well that was a welcome suprise seeing my step-father in the first video I watch on your channel. No joke, tatted up biker dude at 4:24. Didnt realize he was in this music video.

drummer wearing 1 glove just like mj used to. white smoke thing from a song i cant think the name of. jumping on car and grabbing crotch and windows blow out from yet another. so many mj references!

SO DOPE! PLEASE DO: BLOODHOUND GANG!, "BAD TOUCH: PLEASE! FUNNY SONG & HILARIOUS VIDEO!! THIS WILL LIFT YOUR SPIRITS NJCHEESE...I SWEAR!!!!!!🧀 PLEASE. PLEASE!!!🐵🐵🐒🐒🐒💛 #NOBLENATION

Micheal would love this

Great song THNX for the review!

It's a Michael Jackson cover and now that you've done this one can ya please do the Leo Moracchioli version sometime

the couch that the singer was sitting in (with the chimp) was Michael's glove

"how many MJ references do you want" AAF "YES"

i like your reactions :) not overacted, genuine and you give off cool vibes.

Appreciate that you picked up on the easter eggs. Seen a few other reactions that caught one or two, but missed that the easter eggs were there from beginning to end.

Theses cats grew up true fans of MJ. I was born in 76 and MJ was it man.

Understand Jackson was considered lame when this came out, a relic of the decadent 80s.

One of the most underrated groups of the early 2000’s. You gotta check out their other songs . Toadies is another band from this era

I hung out with these guys a couple times before they signed with Dreamworks and after. My bff used to promote. They opened at a few of his shows.

It's a really good cover, MJ would love it. I hadn't watched the video, you can see the cover has been made with love. Thank you!

At 5:03, he’s mimicking having a headset like a Michael was famous for wearing during his performances.

If you look closely at the lead singer's feet when he pulls up his pants 5:36, he either has prosthetic legs or something similar. Maybe that's why he moves differently? I am not familiar with the group, only that they killed this remake. Awesome!

I can still hear stifler laughing at jim

These guys were major Michael Jackson fans. The Jackson family had them preform several songs for his tribute concerts and memorial services.

The drummer’s glove is reminiscent of Michael’s glove...Easter egg😸

This Brings back memories!!

I love covers that respect the originals but make it their own. AAF was one of best for a song that was perfect but made a different perfect with Smooth Criminal. Run DMC and Aerosmith Walk This Way was two bands helping each other. At the time, I remember as I am olde, Run DMC were new and Aerosmith were old. Gotta know Areosmith was new in 70s. Both were recording albums at same time in what I have heard same studio. Run DMC like Walk this way and Aerosmith were recording Permanent Vacation and asked if could do cover. Helped both

I can’t believe the most famous glove from Michael Jackson went right over your head!!

My understanding was that this band used to do this song as a warm up song for their gigs. And people were tell I g them that they need to record it and release it. They called Michael Jackson who of course have them a green light to do a cover of His song and release it. Shout out to Michael Jackson to allow other people to do his songs. And entertain everyone even more

there were so many MJ references in this cool video

This is the first time I watched one of your videos, but man, you are quick wit it, I see so many reaction videos where the people miss so much shit, but you're on point, refreshing to see someone who observes shit. Anyway man, since you got that reaction time, if you haven't watched the video for The Bloodhound Gang "The Bad Touch" you gotta watch it (make sure it's the official video) so much shit going on that other reactors missed, and the song lyrics and video is fkn hilarious. You look kinda young so you might not know the song, but it's from the late 90s. Hope to see you react to that sometime. Peace.

The easter eggs I found in this: 2:09 The lean.. obviously from the original video to Smooth Criminal. Everyone got that one! 2:28 The girl in the wolf head? shout back to the wolf that Michael turned into from Thriller. 2:53 the guys in the chair? small reference to "King of the Hill", as already mentioned. 2:58 note the drummer. While drummers do tend to wear gloves to not get calluses on their hands, he's only wearing one, and on his right hand; the same hand Michael wore his glove on. 3:15 a given. Bubbles the chimp that he had during the Bad/Moonwalker days. 3:23 the sidewalk lights up when they step on it. The same thing that happened with Michael during the video for Billie Jean. 3:48 grabbing his junk and screaming and breaking the windows: shout back to the solo dance part from the extended video of Black or White. 3:54 the King of the Hill guys posing like they're dancing in Thriller. 3:58 That's from Michael throwing the block down on the manhole to make the steam come up, again from Black or White. 4:21 touching everything as it lights up. Again, throwback to Billie Jean when Michael was walking down that sidewalk. And that kid though! Note he was wearing a mask.. like how Michael would back then as well..

Their drummer was grossly underrated

Thanks for pointing out the drummer's glove. Never noticed it before. Another tribute to a classic MJ trope. He was known for wearing a single sequined glove back in the 80s.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

Notice the seat the singer say on with the chimp was also a glove exactly like MJs

I just came across your channel and subscribed. I think you will like Talking Heads- Life During Wartime. Thanks for keeping the music alive and blessing the ears of the younger generations

You knew everything but the shiny Michael Jackson glove the drummer had on?! Lol

I am not a musician. Wish ZI was but god I love the music so keep it coming.

Dude you’re good at seeing the Easter eggs.

The dude that was shaky with the lean was also holding a guitar that is easily 12 pounds, so I cut him some slack. He'd fall on his face for sure. My guitar is about 9 pounds and that's around average. Dude's guitar has some weight.

hey man, nice job noticing everything lol, caught some shit i didnt . the koth reference.

Much love man *cheesefamily*

"This guy a little shaky with it." Dude, do you know how heavy a bass guitar is?

And when he jumped on the car, notice the Flag on the house... Thank You

It's like the 20th reaction Video this morning :-\ The Drummer is wearing a White glove like Michael Jackson did, and not 1 person who watches this song talks about Mikes one-handed drum roll. and yes he does that Live in concert. Just... I mean... god I use to Moonwalk, how do You guys not know this Cover. The drum roll is hard to do, like Mike Cosgrove. Drum Nerd stuff I guess

Little man killed it

There's so many reference's in this video love it

I feel like AAF are hugely underrated.

Love this cover because Michael Jackson holds a special place in my heart because I’m named after him in tribute to my oldest sister who died 3 months before I was born

This whole album is very good. Good musicians original look and feel. The bass player went on to work for Fender. Very tight

MJ used to have a glove when he was part of the jackson 5, and he used it early to mid-career as a signature .. if I remember correctly

This was the quickest way for Nu metal bands to sell some single, cover a song that is far from what you'd normally play; this or Limp Bizkit doing "Faith" from George Michael. Oh, and make sure the Bass player uses a 6 string, even though they only need 3.

This video brings so many memories

They're a great band but what is showing though everything they do, they just have fun. The Movie, has Mr. Miagi, from Karate Kid, in it. It's so much fun and that's what they're about. :F

Good old AAF, a solid One Hit Wonder from the early 2000’s 🤘🏻

I’m pretty sure they were in a European bus accident that almost killed the singer -he hikes his pants up to reveal his socks like MJ -tattoo of a close friend of MJ on forkhawk’s back -bass player does the hand motion from Black and White video Bunch more

Weeknd Dirty Diana is the only other cover that comes close to MJ

It's one glove, like M.J..

This was way better then the original.

You asked what other songs I have, my second favorite song is by Alien Ant Farm and it’s called movies and it’s amazing and they are so underrated

The dude was walking around with back pain cuz he’s SLINGING THAT BASS

I really believe they did this out of complete homage. Michael Jackson is a legend . You are the only reaction guy I seen that caught all of the Easter eggs
