    Whoever came up with this content concept deserves a raise. So sick.
  • @-The-Golden-God-
    Imagine being able to avoid that song for all these years. That's the real talent 😅
  • @WVB11
    I find it funny that Megadeth’s drummer actually slowed the part down. Brilliant playing.
  • @13strong
    What a super sweet guy. I love how gentle so many metal guys are.
  • @kevinbreese5739
    Such a humble, ego-free and super cheerful dude, while also being tremendously talented. What a great human.
  • @I-am-J3r1ch0
    This whole concept of a musician playing a song blind and creating their own version is PERFECT!!!!!!!! It completely shows the beauty of interpretation with music.
  • @jayr6957
    His version really made this song sound like ballad which was fucking dope.
  • @liamjames2956
    Humble guy, took every opportunity he could to give advice to others. People should aspire to be like this guy
  • @moorechez67
    It would be rad for them to do this with every instrument independently and then put all the new parts together and see how insanely different it is from the original
  • @ericbucio2599
    This is the best example of how a song can be changed so dramatically by the drums.
  • @Efreeti
    Drumming in half time really makes it even more of an emo track, and made the contrast when he sped up for the chorus feel even better.
  • Watching the drummer of Megadeth take notes is the most wholesome thing I think I could ever imagine. This is adorable
  • @RobGThai
    His version feels like an old school rock track. It’s awesome how changing one instrument change the song so much.
  • To some people it may be a surprise he’s not familiar with this song but when you’re an active working musician it is easy to live under a rock.
  • @Leoj305
    Metal dudes are always some of the nicest guys I've ever met.
  • @seagoatsire
    DID HE PLAY THE FIRST TAKE IN HALF TIME ???? brought a whooole different vibe to the song
  • @theaznkid360
    I don't know much about Megadeth or Metal music, but from being the drummer of a band called Megadeth, he's way more chill and humble then I could've imagined.
  • @ChrisXMetal
    His version of this song has such a Foo Fighters vibe. Well done!
  • @ssawian
    This is the kind of guy you want in your band. You can see how seriously he takes his job. Pure dedication and professionalism.
