Transformers Theme (Lion Cover) by Black Lab

[ballandpaddle]

It is the year 2005. Emo rules supreme. But, from a secret mom's basement on one of Cybertron's moons, whiny b!tches prepare to retake 80s hair metal.

[hellsvortex]

i prefer this version to the white lions version

[lukasmars]

@hellsvortex That wasnt "White Lion" but just "Lion"

[yoalexsaid]

lololol megatron is not evil........

[iTorsvik]

love this song can you send this song for me r-gto@online(.)no

[highlandpark2007]

They would have used Corey Taylor of Slipknot.

[MeisterErz]

The soft covered (1986) Transformers The Movie Theme from the White Lions - the Enrique Iglesias Version

[phrensta]

omg this sucks ass, sorry I normally wouldn't bag, but compared to Lions original version it sounds like a constipated synthesizer..

[ASAPNE]

I like the modern production, but i love the raw ness of the original!!

[ellothere]

Can you say... gay?

[BalladOfGales]

I don't mind that this version isn't as nostalgic; I'm just wondering WHY THEY REFUSE TO PUT THIS OR ANY THEME IN THE ACTUAL MOVIES. I swear, if they would just put the Transformers theme in the 3rd movie, everything Bay has done to the series would be forgiven.

[macdeath69]

Well, this one is less 80's and has some good part, yet the original was such a kickass...

[haarlokk]

Lion FTW!!!

[peaman94]

what the hell did they do with the solo D: totally killed the song

[stylesj420]

Honestly This version does serve its purpose. But lets be honest it nowhere near as nostalgic as lions theme from the animated movie from 86. Any true transformers fan knows hand down this version isnt the same. And hey better they remake this version and not say

the touch lol

[kentmc]

usually when an old song is remade like this they usually try to make it more intense and more energetic, when they mellow it down like this version it really just disappoints..id rather the lead singer actually sound like he cares about the song

[spacebrain44]

agreed, this singer sounds like he just did this because he had to. the original was killer but this makes me think that nobody knows how to play music nowadays

[underdogg87]

oh my gosh......murderd a classic

[angelolorenzolo]

wow yeah seriously, its been murdered. this is terrbile

[ForsakenElement]

this cover is too... idk slow

[DirkieD]

Wow, I'm not really the nostalgic guy, but the original is way better. This is just nagging...

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

I was clear on that, how could you not get it. Yeah, fucking Lions version was horrible, butt rock/hair bands/ 80s metal sucked balls. Even the people that liked it back then will tell you that. You just have some misplaced sense of nostalgic attachment. Face it, the Transformers were, are and will always be kool, the lyrics to this song, amazing, but fucking Lion sucked nuts.

[etherealstill]

Stupid young cunt. You're too stupid to eat pussy, how could you even attempt to make a rational judgment on what Transformers cover sounds better?

Go brush your teeth with a toothbrush made of Skinny Puppy's ass hair's, dipshit.

Dumb-fuck kids and their idiotic no-talent electronic bands. You can't say shit about fuck.

[etherealstill]

Lion's version all the way.

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

so you must be about 40 to call me a stupid "young" cunt... as for what Transformers cover sounds better, I stand by what I said, I am not a fan of black labs or skinny puppy but nice atempt. I do however like the way the song was executed and I based my judgement on that. As for brushing my teeth.. ummm already did, thanks though.

I guess. Now how about you fuck off you dumb piece a shit good for nothing dork, take you fucking nose out of lion's ass. Good for nothing waste of space.

[Vinny792]

He's right, he makes an exact point. When I heard the lead singer of lion sing those lyrics, I thought "man, this guy sucks."

I've always wanted to hear modern rendition of this song, simply because of the lyrics. It closely tells the original plot.

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

good shit man, loved the vid, hope someone makes a vid with footage from the first and second movie, lots of megan fox in there lol

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

You mean like a bad 80s band? wait no, that was the Lion version, this one actually sounds good, never mind.

[ThexNerd]

its actually not that bad

[evansaxon]

was a fairly worthy cover

but nothin compared to the original (as with most covers)

needed more power metal :P

[remedym]

from Lions its much better...

[ThePenciler09]

Sounds like the lead's tongue is getting in the way of his singing. Like it's swollen or something. That and it's like he just got woken up from a night's sleep and asked to sing right away. LOL

[FalcovsWolfvsFox]

sounds like TRANSFORWARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! when he exaggerates transformers out loud. still great

[basiliobasilio]

I love the Lion version but this is a great revamp for the modern times. Still has the slight cheese of the keys... has rocking drums... the driving beat and rhythm of the guitars remains. The tempo is slowed to make it a bit more creepy and menacing, and the vocals are a bit Manson-esque. The kids love that these days... don't they? I might spend the .99¢ at some unnamed online music retailer for the track.

[techbbq]

This is awful! Lion had much more talented musicians than black lab. Say what you want but it's true.

[protogod19]

yeah... no -_-

Dont be so harsh man, this is a different generation. The Lions were part of a different era of music. I dunno about you but i'm just glad they paid homage to the Lions at all

sides its not like the transformers theme is a masterpiece of modern music, its a cartoon theme. chill man

[SharinganLust]

So true. And to be honest, I think both themes are pretty awesome.

[guidoangel]

i don't like it, the voice is too low and without energy, sound like drunk lol, this theme needs to tunrn in heavy power metal

[TheHoester]

sounds too much of an emo to make it better. Dear Diary.... im gona cut my wrists today

[kieranfletch]

man thats what i thought, oh man my life is horrible i play gears of war and halo 3 lol

i have black straight hair and wear skull hoody

transformers is meant to be cool and nerdy and old school this is just emotastic

[SharinganLust]

... LOL. It's people like you who confuse the term emo.

Emo = Hawthorne Heights.

If at best, this is more of a techno goth trance sort of thing going on. I don't hear the lead singer screaming "Oh my god, my life sucks because I miss my girlfriend who lives in Ohio. I'm going to cut my wrists and black my eyes."

[mcycrtz]

may i asked who is lion? because i have no idea.

[e199sigma]

they wrote and recorded the song for the 1987 movie. this is basically a remixed version of that rendition of the theme. Personally, I prefer this version. Not entirely sure why.

[mcycrtz]

thank you!

[SomeKnowMeAsWesto]

I think this is a great take on an amazing classic, if ur not into power metal then this version is great :-)

[xen0ph0bia]

....I actually like this and Lion's version pretty equally. I grew up with Lion, but this isn't bad for an update. It's better than Mute Math's. That put me to sleep.

[tringrad50]

I wonder why they didnt choose this song for the movie. Mute Math was pretty much a loop of the same lyrics.

[GoldenDarknut]

Oh my goodness...

Whats with all the damn hate for this version? It may not be perfect but it IS a bit better than the original.

[CroRumery]

Nuh-uh.. It is good. But Lion's is THE BEST!

[Michaelfender]

Argh, this is fucking shit. Because singers are so shit these days, they swap a proper singer for someone speaking in a voice the sounds like he was taking a shit at the same time. Why do they get rid of all the higher, electric guitar bits, and the good chords, and just swap them for death metally, sounding bullshit. This is so fucking terrible and annoying, those FUCKING CUNTS FUCKING RUINED IT!!!!!!

[Bobzeaux]

Because this is "cool", apparently...

Can't there be a law that says that music has to be performed by MUSICIANS?

[vexshado]

They should get Fallout boy to do the theme

[ducktapesandwhich]

or we could all kill ourselves.

that would be better.

=]

[retroboy22]

hahahaha nice comeback. fall out boy would be a reall bad decision

[nightwishfan60]

Fallout boy are a pile of dog shit

[barrelex]

you make the Autobots look like the Decepticons.....goood vid tho

[adham2000eg]

lion's version is a classic but this is a pretty good cover that can appeal to the younger demographic plus it's a million times better than mute math's version that totally sucked balls

[Swifttheslacker]

I'm in a younger demographic and I thin this is equivalent to having a big fat guy fart in my face for 3 minutes and fifty seven seconds.

[mistresshelgaharley]

this Version sucks! That guy needs to take singing lessons.

[TheHoester]

this is shit compared to the original the singer sounds like hes slashing his wrists whilst singing it theyve slowed down the vocal, theyve messed up the guitaring by slowing it down.

Lion's original is far better and more like classic heavy metal.

[cybersaur]

WTF! I FUCKING HATE THIS! that singer should go and kill himself or stop being famous, this band should never be famous!

[Vrahno]

-_-

[ducktapesandwhich]

it all depends on what you call famous man.

[billonsostars10]

kargoneth what nosie are u talkin about

[Kargoneth]

Ugh... this noise disgraces the original theme song...

[billonsostars10]

HEY davidjtravers im a kid and i hated the oringal movie and the loin theme dont insalt us so screw YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[ducktapesandwhich]

respect your elders brah

haha.

[artesiete]

coool

[davidjtravers]

NO NO NO THIS SUCKS!!!! Just like the new movie, this is a disgrace to the original. I guess if you make your rock-n-roll as weak and lifeless as possible, today's kid's will dig it.

[firebat128]

This sounds a hell of a lot better than that mute math shit. mute math sounds like a bunch of fags getting ass rammed at a drag queen contest.

[hiurmom]

this sucks

[skexinator]

Vocals are shit. Wtf is this? A discrace to the awesomeness that is Lion.

[FredderHoskin]

this is not lion

[kardallastx]

Watch my video Transformers On The Move please. I think it is an AWESOME tribute to this AWESOME song.

[Darienua]

I found a new awesom thansformers theme here:

watch?v=1pYYRVU0cMI

[techbbq]

Plz dont even begin to compare this to Lions version. Lions version is a classic, this version will be forgotten.

[Kelnar7]

why did michael bay pick the horrible mute math song over this one for the movie? oh that's right, michael bay is a wanker

[ghettolyfe]

transformers 2007 movie is an awesome movie.... i loved it..

[greyfoxindy]

this version is so damn good. its a mix of some of the songs you heard back in the old movie... autobot-decepticon attack. :O!!! so damn good.

[wildzed]

Lion's theme is the best. Bay is a dickhead.

[KawasouChou]

This version > Lion's original version.

The original one sounded too poppish; mind you it *WAS* made in the 1980's.

[punjer]

The version of this song is horrible. A disgrace to Lion.

[Euroman25]

Why did Bay choose MuteMath insteed of Black Lab?

[gunnyar15]

Because Bay is a fuckhead!

[gunnyar15]

Brings back old memories--Well the song anyway. Can't wait to see the movie.

[blacklabworld]

this is killer -- thanks for cutting it together. great to see the new footage. an mp3 of black lab's version of the theme song (as well as an instrumental) is available at blacklabworld. com/ transformers

[Franchoua]

Lol ... that version kick Mute Maths version's ass imo :/ They should have picked that Black lab's version for the ost..

[chevydodge85]

is is better the the orig. theme. I would use this as a ring tone over anything out there keep up the good work

[SITHPITH]
