very fun, reminds me of my old band Slugbunny, we used to change genres within a song, reggae, latin, metal, swing, etc, just to do it, this was back in 89.
@petrosonrocking we recorded all the time, unfortunately I don't have a lot of our recordings, but you can hear a few via our myspace accounts, and I made a video which is on my account here of our metal xmas tune, oh right youtube won't let me post links myspace dot com/slugbunnyband you may also dig my current band myspace dot com/mojoceratops youtube dot com/user/mojoceratopsofficial please check us out! thanks! (replace word dot with a . ) :p
Great, man! very musical - which, unfortunately, I would not say about the Celine Dion ones. For me, it's the best when you show your sheer musical creativity, rather than high speedometer values. Again m congrats for all the upgrades of so many pop songs.
This is my favorite by far! Closely followed by the jazzed up metal songs! This particular remix shows a lot more than just fun. It's seems like she could almost perform to this mix in real life! Great job!
Before i heard this version of the song... i hated listening to the normal version on radio..... nowadays, after i've heard this version.. I can listen to the normal version and have this version running in my head at the same time and i can enjoy the song hahaha lol
Not only you made this song audible, but a fucking amazing track. I really love it. It's odd how two abominations from Rihanna can turn into two awesome pieces of music (this and Jamie's Cullum Don0t Stop the Music).
Don't only you made this song audible, but a fucking amazing track. I really love it. It's odd how two abominations from Rihanna can turn into two awesome pieces of music (this and Jamie's Cullum Don0t Stop the Music).
nice i was hoping to see this song redone by you on your list. i wish it was a complete metal virsion though i think it would be fucking awesome i love what your doin here man.
I have to say man, your metal version of this song and pretty much every other metal version you've done is just amazing. The other genres are kinda humorous, but I love the metal versions. The metal chorus in Tik Tok was epic. I wanna hear a full metal version of that one.
maaan great job bro! dont know how i missed this one D: but better late than never i suppose. glad to see u doing more genre mixing throughout the track. fanfreakintasticEPICWIN \\m// xD \\m//
That metal part made me realise, I want sexy women singers that would fit in a pop context sing catchy lyrics along with some effing heavy guitar riffs. Pop metal at its best. Good riffs, good singing. (By the way, Rihanna sucks live)
Rihanna, now a featured guest in many country bars. Guy in the background has a great moustache. The metal section is good, but she felt out of place - and beautiful execution on the bossa nova section.
You should do "remixes" for these artists. I would buy an Album of Rihanna singing to country. Guys only listen to her to pretend she's singing to them anyway. She's my pretend girlfriend.....
AWESOME! But I'm pretty sure this song would be better if it was all metal! Still REALLY good though. I love your work dude, it's sooo funny to watch! :D
Thank you, I've been trying to explain to a friend of mine how Rihanna's voice sounds country style on this track, the banjos took it bit further than how it sounded in my head but they did raise a smile.
lol awesome!!! good job andy i enjoy your vids and dont produce any work when im watching this @ work...my job hates you!! lol..thanks me vids please!
Your style is unmatched, I can only ask to please keep making remixes - they are the only thing on youtube worth re-watching/re-listening. If you had all of your remixes on iTunes, I would buy them without hesitation. Keep up the great work.
I REALLY DO ENVY YOUR SKILLS. The song is ambitious and funny - while listening to this version It seems so, so very easy to play major arpeggios on banjo/guit/E.Guit - while voice sometimes turns into minor, or maybe I'm wrong. But the same "taste" I feel while listening to your "Abba - Dancing Queen". as always, sorry my bad english... Best regards
Sorry; despite the great music execution, the country style doesn't fit her voice in this song. Metal was the "right" choice, although that was a great surprise twist for the bridge.
@AndyRehfeldt I thought the country was awesome. Maybe because I'm old enough to remember early Olivia Newton-John stuff. (@dmwdevil It was meant to be funny, that's why I chose country to accompany her voice:))
@AndyRehfeldt Granted, but you gave us a mix this time - the other styles were awesome-funny like "wow, she could totally sing that way" (almost a realistic remix), whereas country was haha-funny in a "here's what she'd sound like if she did country" way. Usually your works are just one or the other (or even totally different like when you even re-record the lyrics for, say, death metal). I like them all individually; this just struck me as an odd mix to choose. Sorry for the armchair criticism!
This is fantastic, really amazing. You took a song that's difficult for me to listen to and turned it into something I not only enjoyed, but will probably show my friends. I am curious, does the limited number of notes in the melody make it easier for you to do pretty much whatever you want with it?
Well Andy... after seeing your stuff, I'm pretty much prepared for every crazy style of music out there... but holy hell!!!, then you turn the freaking crazy knob even further!... Country -Metal-BossaNova?!?! dude!!, just, dude!! O_o
