Original Song 10/10 Metal Epic Song 20/10

Shrek just became SHRED

This slaps holy

Every time that giant gingerbread man sinks into the water I die a little inside

Welcome! You're here either because: 1. Shrek 2 2. Saint's Row 3 3. Little V Mills musical skills 4. Maximilian Dood's Boss Rage theme 5. Detective Pikachu's trailer theme

At work one of the employees was playing music and I instantly recognized it as this. He had no idea what it was, he just had Spotify on random. I said "I know Little V when I hear it" and he goes "who?" I was both happy to hear Little V getting that type of random exposure, and hurt because this cover is too good to not make you wonder who's doing it.

This man really channeled his inner Bonnie Tyler like a boss.

oh my god the background video

Welcome to 2019! You're Welcome/I'm Sorry

"how old are you?" "This song reminds me of Short Circuit 2" "sir you need to go back home, you're high risk"

When it's 1683 and you're waiting for the Holy League to break the siege of your city

The metal cover you never knew you needed.

Everyone here is thinking of Shrek. But my mind replays the epic conclusion of Maximillian's Boss Rage against God Rugal in Capcom vs SNK 2. My favorite Boss Rage.

So out of pure curiosity since RE 3 has an achievement called “I need a hero” for a certain segment. I have decided to play this in the background. Can confirm it’s not just as long but it’s also synced perfectly. Best decision I ever made.))

What I love so much about this version is that V nails the intensity Bonnie Tyler sung this song with.

Right now, Mr Howard has a date with destiny.

I decided to show my dad your songs and he ended up calling you "A heavy metal version of Weird Al Yankovic" He loves your songs, by the way👌

Eric Bugenhagen sent me. Now i can finally lift heavy weight with my main track in front of the bois

Это Божественно, слушаю уже 20 раз.

We all knew he could shred on guitar, but no one told me about Little V's sick dance moves.

We need more than hope Benny! *We need a hero!!*

There's a lot of metal covers of pop songs on this site. Many of them are forgettable. This...is not one of those. Nice work, man, this slaps. 🤘

Johnny Five listened to this, he's now an Imperator class Titan now.

This would be a nice soundtrack if Shrek was a Dark Souls boss.

“A perfect cover of a perfect cover doesn’t exi-“

Best alternative song for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy whenever Streamer Mode is On, thank you Max.

When Bonnie Tyler fights senator Armstrong

Little V: (this song) Shrek: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP!?

Johnny Five is ALIVE.

Just came back watching Maximilian-Dood beat the final boss of Guardians of the Galaxy rocking this cover song!

This is the kind of song that no matter how you cover it, it'll still be fire

I know you did this for the meme, but this is genuinely the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Once again, amazing work V. EDIT: First, thanks for all the likes. Second, Just watched the boss rage yesterday and this fits the mood better than the original. Finally, I hope we get a cover of “Dare” by Stan Bush so we can get the Asura’s Wrath boss rage back!

The scene: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne - VS Master Rank arch-tempered Elder Dragon. A low level hunter fires the SOS flare and three level 999's show up.

Imagine Saints Row The Third but with this version instead

Shrek 2 > Shrek 1. Change my mind.

That shrek in the background It's disturbing me

Mate, not only can you play to perfection, your voice is amazing

This is hands down, the best cover of that song, I've ever heard O_O

Don't ever forget S.W.A.G. Shrek Was A Great ...movie.

This! This is what I fucking live for! Thank tou for existing my man! \m/

As someone who is wheelchair bound and paralyzed from the waist down, this some made me get up and run 10 miles. Thank you.

You are actually the greatest. I compiled a slaying playlist for my friend who has never played Doom. I split it into three tiers. Anger, Fury, and Explode for how intense his slaying gets. You appear a lot on all tiers. Keep up the great work man!

Separated from the others by the Fairy Godmother, a depressed Shrek comes upon Rock Howard, looking up to what is later revealed to be Mt. Fuji. They look at each other, completely bewildered, but not so much that they lose sight of their targets. "For Terry." "For Fiona." "For My Crew." The Boss steps up from behind them, steeling himself for a fight. And then, Johnny Five. The four of them race up Mt.Fuji, where the Fairy Godmother is waiting, God Rugal as her guard. The music plays, and we are treated to an epic battle. There is damage done on both sides, but the four of them emerge victorious, Akuma taking over Rugal's body, taking the Godmother's magic wand and sending Shrek, Boss, and Johnny back to their universes before disappearing into the night. At the end of it all, Rock has only one question. "What the fuck just happened?"

I'm so glad Boss Rage came back, I didn't know how much I needed this version of this song!

Eric Bugenhagen someone? THE BUGEZ

I stumbled across this song on Spotify a couple of weeks ago and IMMEDIATEY put it in my playlist for my (Vampire) Paladin character from D&D. Basically, he was turned into a vampire and decided to be almost like an undead Punisher. Hunting anything that preys on innocents even though he himself is damned as well. Amazing cover.

Great song but downvoted for the cheeky flossing

... am I the only person who only remembers the original song from hearing it on the radio when it came out here???? Killer cover as always, Little V.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY BABYYYYY!!!!

Here comes the Gantrithor!

Already one of the most powerful 80's songs, and you infused it with the power of metal. Very nice work, I freakin love it!

Well, at least we got our Metal Hero.

ITS A MINDESET

This is the weirdest, but definitely the best bearded princess in the world О_о

Am I literarlly the only one who remember Johnny 5 last charge.... god damn I'm old

Not going act like this song didn’t make me cry as a kid.

THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO!!!

This is a legendary cover to listen to while going for a run.

I'm shaking my head and bopping my head at the same time. What the ....?

First time I heard this was in Short Circuit 2. It's an epic cover!!!

Probably one of the most hype workout songs ever. Perfect for when you want to not just set a max but do a full set at max.

Pov: Me waiting for a “Let Me solo her” to grace my world on elden ring in order to kill you know who.

Vmills is the hero, I've needed a version of this song that didn't sound cheesy for years

ON THIS DAY OF REMEMBERANCE, WE CELEBRATE THE EPIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN A MAN AND A GOD!!! What a way to start 2019! Great Job V!

Mans made my childhood better

This is now my go to version of Holding Out For A Hero. Thank you.

HOLD ON SHAUNDI YOUR HERO IS COMING.

The "like a fire in my blood" part is just perfect 👌👌👌

Ricky del Sticky sent me.

Striking while the iron is ice cold. Great cover.

When All Might isn't here yet

3:25 gave me chills

Link, Mario, Joker, Kazuya, Bayonetta, Cloud, everyone is there, but they can’t beat him. Sephiroth is just too powerful. He’s gotten his final smash and he’s about to finish them all off when *he* appears. Riding on demon-horseback, crucible in one hand, super shotgun in the other, the hero they need... *DOOM SLAYER* *Rips and tears the competition!*

Maximilian Dood.......... Your theme song has arrived!

Maximilan Dood's Capcom VS SNK 2 Boss Rage reupload brought me here!

First time hearing this cover. 🙏 thank you. I interpret this song to be calling upon our own inner hero. This version is great.

Buenísimo, que bien lograda está esta versión, impresionante...

Amazing work like usual. Sounds like the version that should of been in Saints Row 3 as it would fit there better then the original.

holding out for a hero + epic metal = best idea since the ice-cream cookie sandwich.

Those first power riffs send shivers up my spine

The Bugez sent me here. This song is now part of the MINDSET.

Hablo español, pero tu eres increible! Sigue asi crack

it's amazing, it's epic, it burns like the first time you watch the movie when you're a child!!!

Holy shit, I was not expecting you to hit Bonnie Taylor's original melody, your voice is *incredible*. This was such a delight to watch

Wow this is so good that I think it should have been a metal song the hole time

Maximilian_DOOD just sent me here. the fighting game hero we dont deserve, but the hero we need.

Johnny 5 sent me. Thanks for covering one of my all time favorite songs from my childhood V.

Reminds me of rescuing Shaundi. Good times.

The only flaw of this song is that it ends

I actually forgot this song was in shrek 2, I hear it and think of saint row 3s final mission when this songs jamming in the background and your stepping on the gas.

‘Julian from TPB goes metal’ Also that was the greatest cover I’ve ever seen

4 years after this was posted just now finding it.....absolutely love it!

Huh, he just need a metal arm and we will have the real life version of Johnny silverhand

*Some body once told me*

Wait why am i subconciously bopping to this what have you done to me help

We took back the Creek to this.

The fact that the shrek gif in the background is in sync with the beat is just the chefs kiss lmao.

*"I HAVE THE POWEEEEERR"*
