デーモン小暮のボーカル、ロックどころではない凄さ。もっと取り­上げるべき。しかし、それはともかく、なんだあのギタリスト。ブ­ライアン・メイをバカにしてるのか？

[Maxtastic101]

I'm pretty sure I saw this guys singing the same song at karaoke in china town. :)

[YKInaosuke]

ギターで台無しになった

[Debiruman1666]

The best live version of this song I've ever heard, far superior than what Queen themselves did live :)

[brendanraymond]

quote: "cool guitar"

epic lol :D

[KataVideo]

the best part is that Demon Kogure is also a Sumo commentator and occasional news panel show guest.

[Yogizuna]

@KataVideo Yes, I just heard him on Saturday on the English side of the sumo broadcast, and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the sport. He can also speak English very well!

[mrburnstick]

[varjone]

Kakka=D

[MyDaymoon]

@varjone ja ikää oli? o.o

[Talongakupo]

Demon Kogure Lived in the US so his Engrish is not so Engrish.

He's also a lunatic lol xD idk. He claims to be a Demon/God/W.e lmfao.

But his music is epik though so yeah xD.

TM Revolution looks like a fag when he sings, but he sings good right and his Band is epik lols.

so Nothing really matters =P

[koalanomimi]

やばい、涙出てきた。。

[mindstep1972]

閣下も頑張ってるけどなぁ。

フレディの凄さを改めて思い知らされる。

[Bjornieman]

Who is that guy? He looks hilarious, but sings really good.

[Kisarune]

This is very cool!

[shunkaparty]

アレンジもすげぇいい！！

[TheRivalConcept]

his english is so nice not real accet

[smile8667]

lol MASKED RIDER KUUGA

hahhahaha

[Israfvel]

Well, his vocals leave much to be desired throughout (mainly because he's Japanese, and his accent remains), but hell, I've heard of no man who could do the opera so well.

[areume2]

EPIC X 1,000,000!

[hirakawat1]

なんつーコラボ

外人から見た日本人観変わるだろうなｗ

[jeremyshinwoo]

<333333333333333333 :')

[supika23]

なんと言うコラボ！

[666yukki]

閣下もすごいけど森クミさすがだね

[Vampiresanddemonds]

This is fucking scary, but it's epic at the same time. I love his voice, but he sings better in Japanese.

[siyoukanoudesumaru]

訳詞がひどいな

なんだよ厳然たる事実、後生だからって

あとBismillahって主人公が歌う部分じゃないんじゃ・・­・

[BeatsRoyale]

If he's batman then the fat girl in purple must be ROBIN!

[sparapidokkio]

MASTERPIECE!

love&respect from italy

[ChevalierAguila]

The use of a sax was surprisingly quite fitting.

[vlad4706]

pulled the trigger BOOM THAT FUCKERS DEAD.

This dude is freaky.

[kyuugetsu]

う、上手い・・。閣下にもっと歌番組に出て欲しいです！！

[TheLunarEnvoy]

Absolutely my favorite version of this song! I actually prefer this cover to the original. Demon Kogure certainly knows what he's doing! I really wish His Excellency would have a world tour soon... <3

[zone917]

こりゃどっちも濃い顔だなｗ

[Mayra2]

OMG this would have been a great video if that lady didn't mess it up....lol

[HvyMetaller24I7]

Demon Kogure is an awesome singer !i like his heavy metal songs in Seikima 2 and his symphonic projects so bad people don't know him well here! cheers from Canada!!

[yeotao]

amazing to sing inthat tight rubber/latex outfit.....squeezing his stomach, groin and throat....he sang this so many times on tv...now he's tryint 2 add a kinda talking tone to it....and hes STILL so at ease with delivering the piece....amazing...

[KamenRiderNecro]

WOWZERS...never mind his resembling Gene Simmons' illegitimate love child (knowing how Gene gets around, this wouldn't surprise me!), this is pretty good! Better than I anticipated, and I understood him just fine. Almost no accent on his end, to my surprise. Too weird, but I like it anyway!

[MaddieX2010]

Holy Shmitt. My boyfriend just became addicted to this song a few weeks ago and has been playing it every day...the original, that is! And Kogure-san sings it? *passes out*

This is AWESOME.

[Pinkspider93]

Someone shut that woman up...

[qwerty123123ify]

Im going to have to agree with you (gets bat)

[ejjyt]

wow just wow

[tobleramone]

3:54 - lunchbox alert! Impressive. Alas, the ensuing terrible guitar solo is less so.

[ddxss19]

what an amazing cover!

[m4rco2]

não ficou igual ao queen mais esta qse lá . parabens pela iniciativa

[pwt446]

아 손발이 오그라드네요 ^^

[W4RW017]

Its solid but.. I think he should've held himself closer to the original.

[Problembeing]

"Beelelzibub"?

[emorykon]

@Problembeing thats satan XD



[Problembeing]

@emorykon No...  BEELZEBUB is 'Statn', not 'Beelelzibub' :P

[Problembeing]

"never been... *WHAT???* at all"????

[ivan123abc]

good performance but his costume is soo funny... XD

[lytrigian]

He always appears that way in public. Even when he's doing things like guest commentary at sumo tournaments for NHK.

[raonipaes]

nice performance

[kobokobokobo83]

the guitar solo is good

[kewae32]

This is absolutely fantastic! This song is legendary and its significance transcends language and other cultural barriers. The fat woman is brilliant!

[gferrocchio08]

can someone kill him? please.. and the old fat woman to please..

Thank god freddie never listened this version.

[lytrigian]

Freddie would be impressed as hell that someone would attempt to perform the whole thing live. He never did that. The operatic section was always done from tape.

[prox1mately]

@lytrigian

He'd probably be a little disappointed by the guitarsolo around 4:10. It doesn't really fit that well with the song.

[dwoverdose52]

@prox1mately lol it does sound a bit random doesnt it? XD

[SSJisused2much]

LOL

[R3nkse]

Pure faggotry.

[Bryan1659]

well look at freddy, he was accually gay.

but do not insult Demon Kogure

[R3nkse]

JAPAN DERP DERP DERP

[tundiejones]

森さんがママっていいですねw 何というか役として。

演奏もお2人の歌声も最高です。

[daglx]

very good band the pianist est exellent, i am still debating about the guitar??/

[daglx]

AugustusOxy

This is a hard song for an American singer to do properly... So this is somewhat impressive.

your right!

[tonybuen1972]

his left

[onigawaragonzou317]

閣下最高です。

もりくみさんが隣にいるからかもしれないけど、男声パートもうち­ょい大きければなお良かった。

あそこは重厚感がほしい。

[MeanrBeanr]

It was WAY over before the fat lady sang....

[AugustusOxy]

This is a hard song for an American singer to do properly... So this is somewhat impressive.

[Ye3Dux]

Prefiero pisar mierda descalzo que volver a oirlo...

[ericlecarde]

wwahahahahahah eso si me dio risa XD...seguro que quieres eso XD ? OMG XD

[pepsiguy313]

It just isn't Freddy Mercury. Don't get me wrong I like Demon Kogure's singing... but come on... I feel this one is just slightly out of his league.

[48lolzofpower]

epic sax solo lol

pretty decent singing too... at least from Kogure.

[kevelis]

è una cagata pazzesca!

Holy shit!!! :D

[stevelerro]

this is so awesome!!!!

[ChevalierAguila]

Demon Kogure's english is certainly way better from what you usually hear from most japanese singers. He can sing any cover he wants to, if there is anyone i wouldn't mind singing classic songs is him.

Also, gotta love his outfit here.

[firewind4000]

don't forget he speaks fluent Spanish too lol they got a few clips here from Seikima II live in Spain

[5inconscientes]

Vomito a la una, vomito a las dos, vomito a las tr.......ppppggggjjjjjuuuuuuaa­aaaddddhhhhhdhjjjjj!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[kakobird100]

what....the....hell?

[EmesiS]

You know how it is when you are looking at one vid then started clicking on the right side and looking at other stuff. Then you wonder how in the fuck did I get here and WTF is this? I'm saying that right now!!!! Holy crap does this ever suck!!

[Tangevine]

il chitarrista cos'è?

[monsnet]

c'è moria di cantanti e pure di chitarristi!!!!

[eledif]

Mouhahaha! lol!!

[mt37222]

I've had a thought of what if Jack Black would impersonate Damon Kogure sometime.

[aspglnasn]

The pronunciation of English is very far from that of Japanese. (Imagine that you try to speak Italian.) Although he had lived in US in his childfood, his pronounciation seem to be unnatural for native speakers of English. However, I think he's one of the best English speakers among Japanese people, because the Japanese who has his ability to talk in Larry King Live is very few. ところで、このアレンジはNHK-BS2のよりいいね。 合唱団も入ってるし。BSのは一人二役で落語みたいだったｗ カラオケでこの曲を入れる奴とか非常に困る。 合唱フォローしなきゃいかんから。

[prowler986]

I do speak Italian (fluently) ;)

The main problem is the simplicity of japanese pronounciation (there's only 71 syllables) compared to english.

[prowler986]

Demon Kogure can do better than this!

He's a great singer but here seems to be kind of holding back.

[coner91]

He has pretty nice voice but he is not even near of singing like Freddy Mercury!

[greencarnival]

Regarding all the people who are concerned about him "changing the lyrics", since he actually speaks & understands English rather well, he's more likely to switch words with similar meanings or usages by mistake as he's singing them than someone who just memorizes them phonetically, hence "I've got to go" becoming "I've had to go" and such.

Also Demon Kogure's famous for just plain forgetting the words to stuff he sings, probably 'cuz he's sung so dang much and in several languages XD

[lindashadow]

Oh, really? =) Hadn't noticed that except in a few old vids.

[greencarnival]

Oh, it's rarely very extreme (and of course so endearing xD) but it happened enough for it to become a small part of his reputation XD

[lindashadow]

I didn't know about it. :)

He tends to forget Love Flight lyrics, and of course he forgot some lines on the Doomsday, but that's so understandable...

But when I noticed differences in lyrics on other concerts, they usually seemed to be intentional, like the ones he made in 'tatakau nihonjin'. If they were mistakes, he must be really good at pretending he wanted it just that way. XD

[xXFynnXx]

I think he has a thick accent, real easy to hear.

[makotoberrypie]

considering how hard it is to speak (or sing) english as a second language, this guy friggen rocks!

[juliahime]

This song is fantastic. This is what making a cover song is all about.

[Tompa8989]

hes vocal ability is acceptabel BUT....as usual with japaneses...they can sing english

[prowler986]

Not in this video! This is excellent for japanese english!

[corvod]

nothing special

[nervan88]

fantastic!!!

[cummje]

Just lacks the intensity of the original...

[pinkwaka]

wwoooow.. This cover it's fantastic!..

beauty work from demon kogure...

good..

[choachi2]

ah man why that guy kill the guitar solo? Kogure is creepy as hell though. He's like the Japanese King Diamond.

[dynamiteshikoku]

I agree that the guitarist really screwed up the guitarsolo.

Demon Kogure is still pure awesomeness.

[fleshsniper1]

this guy is creepy as hell like a real demon but in a awesome way

[LechonAtomico]

Demon Kogure why????

[vect0rwolf]

Because Demon Kogure has epic vocal ability.

[bzrock87]

Here are two I first noticed.

Original:

Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-

Cover:

I've had to go.

Original:

I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

Cover:

I have no idea what Demon Kogure sings here.

I think he did a great job with singing this, alot of the time when japanese sing in english it's hard to understand it.

[bzrock87]

crazy

[sailorjeice1]

That was really cool....!

Thank you

[dynamiteshikoku]

What the f**k! Demon Kogure really is great. I saw his other version of The Bohemian Rhapsody and it wasn't so good. I don't mean he sung bad, but the instruments were bad. This version though, was wonderful. Really.

[dekarangeruk]

Anybody know when this was recorded? The only time I can figure to is around the time of the blackmass BD3 but I'm just basing that on his type of dress and the apparent facial hair

[dekarangeruk]

H.E. Demon Kogure does fantastic songs, he does fantastic covers. I personally prefer this to his other Bo Rhap cover

[TaijiSawadaFan]

Damn! What a great version! How can anyone not like this?

Still prefer his cover from Deep Purple's Burn though... =D

[PanickedKarma]

I actually think he kinda ruined it... i loved the original... and to me this just seems like a bad copy...

[bats10v2]

he can sing great, he just should have stayed to the real lyrics, thats the only problem i can see.

[Mifgan]

Hmm, what do you mean by staying to the real lyrics? I listened after this song to the original, and I couldn't find any differences..

[bats10v2]

well to start with, he changes a few words, he adds somethings here and there.

[lytrigian]

No, not anything of note. If anything, he brought out some phrases more clearly than Freddy Mercury usually did, which may have mislead you.

But even Queen didn't perform the choral part live in concert -- that section was often prerecorded. (It was done in studio by repeated overdubbing; they never had enough voices to do it for real.) So props to H.E. for that.

[vk6501]

I've got to goが

I've had to goに

なってるよね

[cybernated]

Awesome.

[NaxoGB]

this is demon kogure with kumiko Mori?

[WingedSageHorus]

Yes! That is the wonderful 森公美子 singing! =D

[XJapan8490]

Demon Kogure's English is sooooo good. I wish I could meet him he looks cool to hang out with and scary at the same time. I really like his version of this song its really good.

[Nitoryu]

This is really good, I just dont understand how people think that demon kogure's version of it sucks.

I completely agree with you. I was so surprised to see the other dk-version Bohemian Rhapsody received quite a few of negative comments. Personally I like it a lot.
