In Germany we have a comedy band called "The Popolskis" whose story is that all of Pop music was actually invented by Grandpa Popolski decades back in Poland and all those western artists covered his songs and ripped him off and the band now plays the songs like they were actually meant to be played by Grandpa Popolski. They are amazing :)

@erikjohnson3491 Жыл бұрын

It's hard for someone who didn't grow up in the 80's to understand how much this cover, and others Leo does, means to people in my age group. For us, the 80's was the last great decade for music. Some of us can't relate much to modern stuff, but we're also a bit tired of the old stuff. Along comes Leo, bringing fresh takes on classics, instilling them with new life, in some cases adding improvements, and all the while having a deep respect for the originals and understanding of what made them great. The result is nostalgia mixed with the feeling that we're not too old to still rock and roll. Thanks, dude.

@burningtheevidence8038 Жыл бұрын

The 80s might have been the last decade with good radio music, but thinking there is no good new music out there is just sad (mostly for you). Open your ears and your mind, there are many great modern artists out there, you just have to look outside of radio and Spotify top trends.

Possibly because this kind of metal wasn't really around then, so the idea of a song where they had no idea this sound existed - but if they did then this is how it might have actually turned out instead. Modern songs were obviously deliberately chosen to not sound like this so it doesn't add that "what if?" into the mix.

@Babarudra Жыл бұрын

@@alexfrance500 what kind of metal didn't exist when? In the 80s? Metal's been a thing since long before then.

@alexfrance500 Жыл бұрын

@@Babarudra of course, perhaps I should have been a bit more explicit - if you listen to metal/rock from earlier in the 80s it sounded different - think Judas priest/def Leppard. Some of the elements used in this song didn't really come through until later in the 80s or even 90s. My exposure to metal in the 80s was only through friends who were into that kind of thing - it certainly wasn't in the mainstream here in the UK - don't forget that MTV was in it's early days & the internet didn't exist, so to find metal music took a more concerted effort than it does today. Vast swathes of the population would have barely been aware that metal existed & certainly wouldn't have had much exposure to it. If metal was ever portrayed in movies it was usually the metal guys shown as the stereotypical bad boys (an example in this film even). Think the muggers/bikers/bad guys in terminator, weird science, Highlander etc. Metal/rock listeners were portrayed as a peripheral group who were criminal bad boys - certainly to be shunned by mainstream society. A song like this certainly wouldn't have been used for the closing credits of a mainstream hollywood brat pack movie. I think that's more what I meant ;p

@Babarudra Жыл бұрын

@@alexfrance500 I see some of your point. You're right, it wasn't as mainstream, but bands like Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, etc started in the mid-80s, in fact the original line up of Venom (the UK black metal band) reached it's height and fell apart in the 80s. Having been a headbanging teen in the 80s, "I" was fully aware of the metal/hard rock/hardcore scenes, but no, they weren't mainstream, which was also part of the point of enjoyment. But then, I don't really know that heavier metal has ever become mainstream, all the more recent bands may have a decent following, but rarely would some random suit on the street know who Cannibal Corpse, Anathema, or Thergothon are, any more than a suit in the 80s would have known Celtic Frost, Voi vod or even Carnage. And good luck finding a suit from today to even know who those bands are. It's all pretty niche, we don't generally see the lack of popularity because we are the followers/fans.

Dear Mr. Vernon. We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday to make a music video for this song. What we did was wrong, but we think you’re crazy to make us cover a song to tell you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions. You see us as a frontman, a drummer, a bassist, guitar shredder, and a bunny. Correct? That’s the way we saw each other at 7 o’clock this morning. We were brainwashed. - The Frog Leap Club (2023)
