  • This is the. Worst cover song ever

  • This series hasn't been relevant since Sean Connery jumped ship like the first white bitch off the Titanic.

  • A bad cover to the worst film of the franchise.

  • This is like those cover bands that you find on Itunes instead of the actual artists. Most of the time it just sounds like really bad karoke. And this rendition falls under that category.

  • this is the worst cover of all time

  • There should have been only one.

  • @halotalim There should've been more but with actual effort put into them. 

  • I think it stands to reason that The Spoony Experiment is the only reason that people have ever heard of this castrated left testicle of a movie.

  • Oh look it's Carlise Cullen! 1:28

  • ive been a BIG HIGHLANDER fan a good 12 or 13 yrs since about 98 i was always crazy about the theme song and when i got around to seeing the Source cause the release was so bad to find it anywhere ......... i should have eaten those chicken wraps before hand so id be able to sit on the toilet for a while an make a little something of my own to pay tribute :)

  • Yes Freddie Mercury was gay, but he still didn't call the song "Princess of the Universe" Also, this is a horrible cover.

  • propably it was Queen with new vocalist

  • Comment removed

  • Come On this is just a cover, no need to fuck a fly

  • This band pretty much summed up the movie, bland.

    I miss the older Highlander movies, and Queen.

  • @Atheistcat2004

    BLAND??? Do you have any ideae how much brainfuckery goes on in this movie? Just watch Spoony's review. The last thing you want to think about is the word "bland".

  • @TheBigCynicalAsshole

    You're right, I believe the words I was looking for was "Absolute" and "Shit".

    Flashy lights and mind-fuckery doesn't make it a good story. A story which, by itself, was bland... Yes, "Bland".

    Highlander and Highlander 2 were loads better.

  • @Atheistcat2004

    Also I mentioned Highlander 2 for comic effect, because it was pretty bad, and it served to point out exactly how bad The Source was.

  • God, this is just so bland, if you're gonna cover Queen (a feat i do not recommend) you've at least got to have some balls. If they did some crazy risky completely different version even if it sucked I could have some respect for them trying something. This is just shitty and lazy.

  • This movie, literally raped everything about Highlander. Highlander 2 wasnt as fucking insulting to the fans. Fuck this movie.

  • ...ear rape. plain and simple. how can you destory a good song so thouroghly? spoony was right, the people behind this movie understood highlander, they just hated it and its fans. fuck em.

  • At the beginning it sounds like they said "We're the bitches of the universe"! If they didn't change the notes so much in this song could of been good or at least decent.

  • It's hard to believe something could be worse than Zeist, but here we are.

  • Spoony's reaction to this part was so priceless

  • I'm not against covering songs, but they should at least do it well, damn it!

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't mind Highlander: The Source, but this song was just a butchering of a awesome song. If only Spoony could review Highlander: The Search for Vengeance.

  • @jagarcia0705 I bet he will, sooner or later.

  • @sucker1999 Spoony: Jeez this is just unholy!! Did they make a list of everything iconic about Highlander, everything the fans know & love about the series?! Then make a movie that destroys & makes a mockery on all of it!! Not only were they content about destroying Highlander, but they had to kill Queen too?!! Freddy Mercury is spinning in his fucking grave!! Highlander 2 never reached this level of abject fuckness!!

  • @jagarcia0705 How could Freddy Mercury spin in his grave if he's been cremated?

  • @jagarcia0705 He did a text review and said it was OK, but practically gold compared to Highlander II and the Source. So it escapes.

  • Who did this song ?!

  • A a huge fan of Highlander, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing when I watched The Source. It's bad, and by that I mean terrible. I didn't expect the producers to surpass the pernicious Highlander II - but The Source does just that.

  • Comment removed

  • Who ever allowed this and the people who got for this simply put.......suck.

  • "The music cover of "Princess of The Universe" by John Sloman is tremendous full, melodic and powerful."

    "This movie was great and deserved a soundtrack video."

    This, folks, is proof that there is no God.

  • INFURIATINGLY SHITTY!

  • This song is at the image of the film : an horrible mistake.

  • Oh dear. It sounds like hypnotist Paul McKenna narrating in place of Sean Connery. I've not seen the whole film but judging by what I see here, and listening to this grotesque cover of a Queen classic, I guess the beleagured Highlander franchise has finally expired. That's what happens when leave it in the hands of idiots.

  • @james64ok The narration at the beginning of The Source is voiced by no other that Peter Wingfield who plays an ancient immortal named Methos. Methos appeared throughout Highlander: The Series from Season 3 onwards. I've met Peter Wingfield and he's an exceptionally nice guy.

  • This is just unholy.

  • TRUE FACT: the new highlander remake is gonna be screenwrited from the same screenwriter of....twilight....nuff said

  • @superflycos123 not true actually.

  • @theninjaweirdo ht tp : //ww w . slashfilm . co m / tw ilight-scr ibe-me lissa - ros enberg-w riting-highlander-remake/ there ya go buddy

  • Respond to this video... so what that basically means is that when the immortals lose there heads and the quickening starts to happen, instead of lightning coming from the sky, they will just sparkle, and connor mcleod will be a shirtless 17yr old immortal who falls in love and the kurgen will be be turned emo...people must learn that there shouldn't be a remake...there can be only one

  • @superflycos123 Aw, crud! I hope Spoony sees that one... it'll probably drive him off the deep end.

  • @neosoc lol he already knows thats how i found out about i, hell he even send out a tweet on his twitter for people to stop bothering him about, he says about half a thousand people keep bothering him with this, and he is pissed about it!! lol i am too i grew up with highlander 1 and this remake is destined for FAIL

  • @superflycos123 Apparently they're going to have the immortals using guns and bazookas. Just....no... just........ no comment on that. I will say this though: if they put Sam Worthington in it, I am going to go postal.

  • @neosoc WHA-WHAT?!! WHY?!?!!! why have immortals use guns?!?! it makes no sense, they die by decapitations and the trademark swords is what made the series?!!?! ugh, im nerding out but for a good reason, the biggest problem ever is that since its a remake there gonna be using connor mcleaod which mean his character will be forever ruined

  • @superflycos123 They'll probably insert some bullshit rule about how you can also kill immortals by shooting them in the head. In any case, I am NOT going to see this movie. I refused to let the Tekken movie break my heart and kill my childhood, so I don't see why I should let "Highlander: The Reckoning" do so.

  • "This movie was great and deserved a soundtrack video."

    My mind was just blown from how wrong that statement was.

  • I cannot dislike this video enough...

    There is one rule that all covers should follow... Don't cover Queen. You can't top it, you can't even match it, so don't try.

    I need to go listen to how it's supposed to be done now before I lose it...

  • @Twinky211 And if you can cover the voice? Get off the f*cking internet and get a record deal! Amiright?

  • @CasualPr0ductions If anyone can come even close to Freddie's voice, then get a record deal because you have talent. A-men.

  • This whole franchise has turned into shit. Face it, we need new good guys to fall in love with and new bad guys to hate. Adrian Paul sucks and Christopher Lambert had his shot couldn't do it again. Lets get NEW BLOOD!

  • Where is the passion? The pizazz that made this song a classic by a great band? What the hell did I just listen to? They pretty much pissed on the entire second half of the song. Are you friggin kidding me?

    I guess I can't really blame them though. It's hard to measure up to queen.

  • Orbital wobble...nuff said.

  • omg my ears are bleeding !!!!!

  • my ears are bleeding from the ruining of one of my favorite songs

  • *Insert Spoonys reaction to this shit*

  • immortals come from Zeist, but don't like to talk about it

  • I'm gonna get crucified for this...but I kind of like this cover. I mean no doubt the original is the definitive version, but I don't this is that bad.

  • @OriginalLawnmower I respect your opinion, but to many, this is like Alien Antfish's sendup to Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal.' It's okay, to some tolerable, if you haven't heard the original in a while. To me... It's tolerable, but I'm only a Highlander fan by proxy. To a true fan of the series, or Queen, or BOTH... It's like someone took a plate of cookies and switched out the chocolate chips for rabbit droppings, then laced your milk with white paint.

  • On second thought Justin Beiber isn't all that bad, he hasn't sunk as low as doing a cover of a Queen song.

  • Wow....a song that trolls youtube commentors......in russia people!

  • ahh my ears my ears it is giving me a fucking headache

  • Comment removed

  • This cover is so much FAIL. Leave Queen alone!

  • WTF is this shit stop trying to cover queen songs it cant be done

  • I feel like having my head cut off because of the source

  • It is a decent cover, but FFS it isn't the same as Queen with Freddie Mercury screaming into a mic. But it could be worse...

  • Why couldn't the Sci-Fi Channel (I refuse to call it SyFy) just use the original song?

  • Freddie Mercurey is spinning in his grave right now

  • These people need to die.

  • My problem was how the song came the fuck out of nowhere; it's the kind of thing I was expecting to hear at the end credits, not some random montage that comes from having killed some nameless cannibals. In all truth, it's not an AWFUL cover...I more hate it for the context it was used in.

  • @CrimsonZanpakuto You mean how it was seemingly shoved in to be another thing The Source had to alter, if not invert, everything iconic about the original Highlander.

  • @BBPatterson12 Basically.

  • Freddie Mercury is spinning in his grave. When it comes to this song..."there can be only one!!"

  • It's funny. At first I didn't mind this cover, the segment from 1:26 to 1:30 is particularly endearing, but the longer it goes on the more crude it is in comparison with the original. Awkward pauses, instrumentation that never gets any more complex than that same guitar riff, an unnecessary chorus... I'm not gonna blame them for mixing up the tune a bit since virtually no one has Freddie Mercury's superhuman vocal range, but all of it takes a fantastic song and makes it something very average.

  • @NickCaligo42

    I only like the beginning part of this song

  • Someone needs to suffer for making this abomination

  • not only they have to kill higlander but they have to kill queen too ?

    freddy mercury is spinning in his fucking grave right now

  • @athomicritics spoony ref ftw!

  • The band is pretty great but the singer is fucking dreadful.

  • This cover is so bad it makes my balls hurt.

  • Thumbs up if you saw Spoony's review of this movie.

  • @RocMegamanX LORD SPOONY FTW

  • @RocMegamanX

    And it''s the only reason I've told people that "The Quickening' isn't the worst sequel of all time now

  • @RocMegamanX This Spoony fan frowns upon your thumbs up whoring >:( It's almost as bad as this cover.

  • @CreepyMcCreep

    Geez, can't a guy have a little fun with this meme?

  • @RocMegamanX Meme? You're asking for thumbs up so people will see you and click on your channel. There's nothing amusing about it, it's just annoying. Still, perhaps I overreacted. At least we can all agree that this movie is fucking horrible.

  • @CreepyMcCreep

    I didn't think people would come to my channel just because of thumbing up though. I just wanted to see how many people saw the review or how many people agreed with me. That's all.

  • @RocMegamanX It's all good, you meant no harm. I suppose I'm just jaded by all the misuse displayed by others.

  • Who likes this Pice of SHIT !!!

  • I think a female highlander would be awesome

  • @liz2saintvideos Better idea: Surrender the franchise. The ride is over. Nothing can fix it. Not even bewbz.

  • @liz2saintvideos

    I think that already happened....Highlander: The Raven.

  • oh...no. No.  No.

  • (you can tell i don't like the film, it was bad and i mean BAD!

    I swear they had to try to make it that bad!

  • While I recognize that the Mercury version is vastly superior, this is by no means a bad cover. It wasn't done by Queen, so it obviously isn't as good as the original.

  • Can anybody give me a link to this cover? Unlike most of you, I actually like the cover.

  • I would ask that if any of you are thinking about becoming highlander fans. I beg you please watch the first movie from 1986 and only the first of that series, Then watch the tv series. Please avoid the other highlander movies about connor and for the love of your humanity don't subject yourself to the horridness of Endgame or the Source. Thank you this has ben a public service announcement to bring goodness back to the highlander series.

  • @Shadowcast577 APPLAUSE. Well said, and all too true!

  • i dont like too its bad. I Think but Highlander have a big Fan's why Queen sing it, and with no Queen have Highlander nothing i think :-)

  • me gusto mas la highlander endgame, pero esta pelicula esta tambien buena.

  • Usually I don't like remakes of my favorite songs, but this one is actually decent.

  • i don't like it, sorry 2.5/5

  • wow too four!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • La versión es espantosa, cero emoción, cero virtuosismo

  • the narrator, is that ostrava of boletaria from demons souls?

  • I dunno. They had a great idea in mind, the execution just didn't succeed.

  • i agree on that the story seemed cool but what really weakened it in my opinion is some of the character development

  • The Source, probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Luckily they are going to remake Highlander now instead of making a sequel to The Source.

  • Highlander 2 was worse.

  • like as if the first one needs a reboot =/ hollywood is sucking with theyr whole rebooting old movies shit.

  • Look at it from the other side, lets say you hold the rights to what once was a very succesful franchise. You can either let it disappear or profit from it. So there is no way a big franchise will end unless it's popularity is compleetly gone or there is a conflict over who holds the rights and thus nothing gets made. If its clear who is allowed to make a Highlander movie then there will be a highlander movie. Therefor I'm just happy its a reboot and not a sequel to ''the source''.

  • so again, its al t about the money of course.

  • @Ronnet Thats a loser way of thinking if you have the rights to such an amazing franchise, what you do is not make a movie a retarded squirrel monkey could make drawing out the scenes with his of fecal matter

    I swear the people who made this film were not only high on drugs but also lost a lot of money making a horrid movie, seriously I could have done much better!

    Question is who wants to live forever? not many people if they have to sit through that garbage of a film, fan films could do better

  • @Lokeydin Why is it a loser way of thinking? I don't like it but if you have/bought the rights to a popular franchise then ofcourse your going to use them!

    That they screwed it up is evidend, and how they could screw up this much is beyond me aswell. But it still remains understandable that they wanted to use the rights for 'something' as it is always better then nothing. Especially if someone just wants to rent the rights (meaning you have nothing to lose).

  • @Ronnet Well i mean no insult by it, its just if you have a concept taking advantage of it and making it a real winner is the best way to go, i honestly have no belief whatsoever that they did this, i seriously picture coke heads around a table and crayons.

    Its just how i feel, i personally could have done a better job!

    It would have been better if they never made this, any money they did make from this is penny's compared to how easy it could have been, they could have made 100o times more.

  • @Lokeydin, Have a concept -> make a winner, that's the way to go huh? Ofcourse it is, but obviously the people involved with this aren't able to do so. They have a choice, screw up something new or screw up Highlander and atleast get a reasonable return on their investment based on highlander being a popular name.

    I dont like it but obviously someone, somewhere is going to keep working on highlander. That is why I like the comming reboot, its that or another sequel.

  • @Ronnet Oh im pretty sure they didn't make any money off of this!

    I actually did like Highlander 3 and end game was not to shabby.

    I sent Adrian Paul an e-mail asking him where i could maybe send highlander movie ideas or more because i will send them solid movie ideas, i just want them to make a kick ass highlander movie like the first one.

  • @Lokeydin In that case they would have made a bigger lose if they had used an unknown franchise. Point is they weren't able to make a 'kick ass' movie but they still had the rights to Highlander and won't stop (ab)using them and try to cash in on it.

    Whether this worked or not is besides the point. Owners of rights will always use them so once again I say I'm happy they are now rebooting because the Highlander narrative was finished in part 1 so none of these sequels can really be great.

  • @Ronnet Actually if they made any other movie with a fresh concept they could have made money, i actually don't believe it did make any money at all, it went straight to video, i highly doubt they made any money from it.

    I also feel the actors with there ability's really deserved something better, i feel like everyone who saw this, was involved it its making and the cast and fans should be greatly insulted by this, a 10 year old could have done better and i mean that.

    A coke head made this!

  • I didn't let the highlander franchise epic down but only knew about it since 2000

  • For bloody power that's why why do you think fool, sorry my apologies don't turn your back for a second

  • it`s an ok cover but nothing compares to Queen

  • Agree

  • @liz2saintvideos totally agree with you

  • It's a shame , we could have had three or four good Adrian Paul Highlander theatrical pictures , instead Highlander is reduced to the sci-fi movie of the week. I'm not sure who too blame , really.

  • i blame george bush!

  • Good song !!!!!!!!!!!! But original is must good. =) Thx for this Vid guy !

  • this is a great highlander video.

    i´d like dowload,

  • If you have realplayer you can download it, an option with appear on top right corner over the video.

  • THANK YOU

  • This is no way near as good as queen.

  • Just logged in to say this possibly the worst cover ever.

    The guitar riffs are predictable (something Brian May never was) and the singing is terrible. That talking bit in the middle was a complete joke.

    What's wrong with using the original? (apart from a film so poor probably couldn't afford to pay the royalties)

    Trying to update a Queen song is always going to be a pointless and unwinable task.

    Anyway, having said the good points don't forget this is a very bad cover.

  • Oh I see John Sloma covers it.

  • Who sings this cover?

  • Queen's original was so much better, and Duncans weapons he used in this movie were so gay compared to his sword. Although I am glad they finally gave an answer to the one but it could have been so much better. Just sad to see how far all this has fallen.

  • They will try to reinvent the franchise at some stage and this movie will go the same way as highlander 2 FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!

  • I wouldn't say it is forgotten the original is still good to watch but the rest should be forgotten, except maybe the fourth one because that helped with mixing duncan into the story of it all.

  • yeah your so right Rajalord27 your the best man lol

  • Awful cover, terrible movie & the final nail in the coffin for the franchise. There is only one movie worth watching.

  • coud you give me this song??? please

  • killed it. i heard absolutely no twin lead from the guitars

  • what a disguisting Queen cover!!!

  • man, how can this guy destroy such an epic and powerful song like "Princes of the Universe"..........

    Show some respect to Queen.....

  • Don't talk rubbish - Queen are gone NEVER forgotten - he's brought it up to date!!

  • im watching the movie right now and when that came on i had to put in the original so that i didnt cry

  • This fucking sucks. Disgrace to Queen!

  • there should be only one highlander movie, as for the song the original by queens is great but this one is crap

  • My god man... what is wrong with you (the poster)? Thinking this was any good? This is blasphamey and horrible!

  • This "thing" totally sucks!

    Show some respect to Freddie Mercury!

    R.I.P.

  • come on guys this isn't that bad

  • omg the new singer ruined this song LOOK UP THE REAL SONG!!!!!

    FREDDIE MERCURY R.I.P.

  • no only the song was ruined, this movie fucked all about highlander

  • Yeah, but so has everything else in the Highlander franchise. :) Nothing agrees with anything else and none of the sequels (or the TV show) have been as good as the original movie.

  • this movie and the soundtrack sucks!!1 highlander ends with the 3rd o 2nd...and connor lives happy with his family and won the price

  • he won the prize at the end of the first movie didn't he? Another thing that ruined this movie is, the guy who played mithos was a watcher in the show wasn't he? Plus Duncan's SWORD HIS FREAKIN SWORD broke... how could that happen

  • It's Princes as in more than one Prince. Not Princess.

  • no no no no, they should have used the original Queen songs or just different musiv nut not that crappy covers. Makes me sick!

  • Same here. I'll bet Freddie Mercury's rolling over in his grave over this shitfest.

  • this movie had a few bizzar cover tunes

    i duno how many noticed but you hear "The Foo Fighters" along with "Brian May" and they perform pink floyds have a cigar : /

    saying that though theirs 2 cuts of this film & this opening with methos is not the official sorce release,

    i got the dvd & it is anna who does the intro talk, not methos, the dvd edits a better movie but they should of kept methos voice on intro : /

  • this is the worst cover I ever heard about queen

    THIS SUCKS!

    ------ Queen Rocks! ------ no this SHIT!

  • THIS SUCKS

  • its a shame about the scan lines but its a prity good edit

    i recently got the sorce on dvd (and it is diffrent from both the internet versions that are going round)

    i have got both internet versions to lol, but the dvd is defo a diffrent edit (the online dvd rip is the same edit as the russian pirate copy, only in dvd quality)

    i remember reading a few places said the dvd rip was the same & its defo not.

    anna does the talk over, like it said on adrian pauls site :)
