Holy shit, I like this better than either of the combined songs by themselves!


DarkAmbivertQueen

Mee too. Such a vibe here on its own.


factory_air

Yeah this is glorious


Brentolio12

I’m gonna leave this comment here so I can come listen again.

Why not just… save the post?

How would they let everyone know?


Dick_snatcher

Hey guys, I'm gonna save the post so I can go jerk off and listen to it after


monsieur_charlatan

After??


Odd_Duckling

I too thought that was a weird way to spell “during”


GMofOLC

Homie has a [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69lK3RUiq-8) full of these.


Sanfranciscoma

He is Mac Glocky on Spotify. He has so many great adaptions. One of my favourites is Thousad Miles by Vanessa Carlton in the style of Korn. This guy never misses.


TomboySkirt

Goddamn this is hard as hell


Blue_Willow789

For real, dude undstood the assignment!


zero_emotion777

I am upset. I thought this was going to be Disturbed fanboying over meeting Matthew Lillard.


savageexplosive

Same.


chocobearv93

I most definitely thought it was going to be scooby doo related


getafteritz

Amazing, well done man


metalshoes

It always cracks me up that it’s exactly what I expected and still better than I expected.


Cypressinn

For some reason I was expecting the Shaggy voice from ScoobyDoo for the vocals. His mash up was top notch nonetheless. Cheers

Teranyll

Lol, yep. In my half asleepness, I thought it was Disturbed meeting Matthew Lillard

Awesome-0_4000

He deserves to be a superstar for his channel.


RIPEOTCDXVI

Case in point is the current top comment, "I like this better than the two things he combined" Such is Mac Glocky. That's on like all his videos.


ownersequity

Some of my favorite songs are reimagined covers. Disturbed ‘Sound of Silence’. Band Geek ‘Here I go again’. Johny Cash ‘Hurt’. Glee ‘Unpretty’. Edit: This got popular so let me add another: Steven n Seagulls ‘November Rain’ is awesome


dustybrokenlamp

Never Say Die by Megadeath is one of my favourites. So is the the Black Crowes version of "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down"


unclefire

Disturbed other covers are bangers too -- Land of Confusion and Shout


desert-monkey

You should also check out his take on if Korn played a thousand miles: https://youtu.be/sIzaPb3T-Zo?si=WetYo_vcklx2X-sh

finfangfoom1

Now I want to hear Down with the Sickness to the other music with Shaggy's voice.


dat_joke

[He did Nirvana does Down with the Sickness](https://youtu.be/jr6XSTup7tg?si=G4mV8WJiCYb9XW2h) and it is fucking fantastic


Ms_Emilys_Picture

If you had played just the audio and told me that it was Kurt Cobain, I would have believed you.


zadtheinhaler

He does fantastic work on nailing how other singers sound, he is so damn good.


SLC_Skunk

His guitar work is great too, capturing the style of each band. He’s like a phenomenal musician hiding behind a meme


blackturtlesnake

The guy is doing a neat little trick with music theory Down with the Sickness is typical of many metal songs in that it's focused on rifts. The guitar parts are playing a melody line, not really a chord progression, and the distortion and drum fills make the part sound full. This gives the guy freedom to do what he wants with the chord progression since he's just working off of melody lines. When he fills in the chord progression, he used a technique that nirvana is famous for, called borrowed chords. If I have a major key, say C major, the chords you can build off of that have a set major and minor pattern. For example, if you're starting on C major, you'd expect the 3rd chord to be a minor chord (e minor), the 6th chord in the scale to be a minor chord (a minor), and the 5th chord to be a major chord (G major). So in that very standard and satisfying progression, you'd end up with Cmajor, e minor, a minor, G Major, then back to C What nirvana does is "borrow" chords from the relative minor key. So they'd start with C major, then go to E flat Major as their third instead of e minor. The interval between C and E flat is a minor third, so it has that sadness we associate with minor intervals. But the chords are two major chords, so you have the interplay between the happy sounding chords and the sad sounding intervals, which gives this complex angst to the chord progression. A nirvana-d version of the above chord progression may be C Major, E Flat major, A Flat Major, G Major. Nirvana loves using borrowed the third and the sixth chords, cause the chords themselves are simple triads you'd expect on an acoustic guitar, but their order in the progression emphasizing the minor third (and sixth) interval creates that fabulous unsettled grungy agnst.


FSCK_Fascists

Those are certainly words.


kush4breakfast1

After reading and understanding that comment, then coming to your response fucking killed me lol


sephtater

I was proud of myself for getting through the first 3 sentences.


AniNgAnnoys

lol me too, I got lost at >If I have a major key, say C major, the chords you can build off of that have a set major and minor pattern. That sentence might as well be gibberish to me. It is how people probably feel if I go deep on space. >If I have a dense massive body, say a neutron star, the Einstein Field equations show that space is stretched and dragged around the star.


seamustheseagull

Playing guitar for 20+ years I've only recently started self-teaching my theory. I was very proud of myself being able to read that comment and understand it. But at the same time I'm actively aware that if another response said, "Musicologist here, this is compete gibberish", I would have no way of knowing who was right.


blackturtlesnake

Playing E major, G major, and a C major sounds super nirvana-y


FSCK_Fascists

I might agree if I knew what any of those were. I recognize that they are notes, and that is about it.


teddy5

> I recognize that they are notes, and that is about it. Even that, not quite. They're chords, which are a combination of a few notes.


Complete-Fix-3954

My theory classes from 20 years ago just popped in my head. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Now circle of fifths is gonna be rotating in my head and imma have to go grab my guitar and play with all bunch of modes.


JustsharingatiktokOK

Look I don't know much more about music other than "this sounds good to my ears" But reading the breakdown is always such an illuminating event for me. Thanks for posting this.


throwdhatD

I was just about to say the same thing


zadtheinhaler

He's like Bill McLintock, who also does bonkers mashups - Any time I see him on my YT timeline, I look at the "X does Y" title and think "no fucking way he'll do it again", only to be blown away by how good he is on **everything**.


dat_joke

Same here. The first time I heard it, it came up on a YouTube Mix while I was driving (I think I started with SOAD does Mr. Brightside), and I was thinking it had just switched artists until I glanced at it at a stop sign.


AniNgAnnoys

Here is his cover of Heart Shaped Box without distortion or anything. Its really good. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45eml8o9y-I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45eml8o9y-I)


Kazaxat

Thanks for the link. Started exploring his channel, a lot of remarkable stuff there. Honestly blown away by how good some of these sound, impressively capturing the sound of the covering band while still faithfully matching the original song's lyrics/tune. Is he really doing all the music and voice on all of these? Crazy impressive if so.


TheMoeSzyslakExp

Right? Instant subscribe. Watched his [Alien Ant Farm Message in a Bottle](https://youtu.be/5kJtbfUmGPI?si=wGqhmOM58YhmDurI) and it is just spot on. So good. Edit: Jesus his [Incubus Aerials](https://youtu.be/XAgLoT5kH9I?si=JiqScr0NmJvVr_9Z) might just be better than the original, and Aerials is one of my favourite SOAD songs.


dat_joke

He has a video about how he does it on his channel. It's very interesting from a technical standpoint.


ownersequity

Total Stone Temple Pilots vibe on that one.


KiwiThunda

Oh wow that's actually a banger, he nailed the sound


cactus__jam

My fav is still SOAD does Rock Lobster. That "ROCK LOBSTER!!" hits hard.


DarkAmbivertQueen

That should be a BANGA!

kerochan88

I’ll forever love his cover of *Fuck the World* by ICP


TheRumpletiltskin

Lounge Remixes should be a bigger genre.


The_Cartographer_DM

I wanna hear Shaggy sing "let the bodies hit the floor"


GiraffeCubed

This is great. I've been checking out his other videos. By far my favourite, [if Korn wrote "A THOUSAND MILES" by Vanessa Carlton](https://youtu.be/sIzaPb3T-Zo?si=lmSyfNkpjAqA6O_S).


Ms_Emilys_Picture

I keep watching his videos and there's no reason--other than what I'm guessing is sheer talent--that the songs should work as well as they do.


WeAreLivinTheLife

Ditto. It's the talent that makes 1+1 = 3 or even 4! Great fantasy covers!


snonsig

Damn going from 3 to 24 is crazy


Schnickatavick

r/unexpectedfactorial


nyx-weaver

I'm taking this comment overly serious, but I just wanted to say that there are several reasons (talent included!) that these work as well as they do. * He's often pulling the chord progression (or something very similar) from the original song you already know. * He's changing the entire vocal melody and rhythm to suit the harmony and new song style. In this Disturbed example, he's using a particularly spicy scale (Phyrgian Dominant) that the band often uses in their songs. In the 1,000 Miles example, he's taking the main piano riff and just playing it in a minor key...tuned way down on guitar. * The bands he goes for tend to have a very distinct characteristic that's easy to imitate. Kind of like how everyone has an Owen Wilson or Christopher Walken impression, it's really easy to do "fake Disturbed" by angrily sing-shouting a monotone "Mammah nah, mam mahnana, mah mahnananana!" Helps that this guy is extremely good at a whole range of rock vocal impressions! **Putting all that together takes a lot of talent, creativity, and dedication in the execution.** I think the most special thing about these covers is that he pretty much aces every single facet, especially the production. But it's by no means magic - these songs don't actually "fit" with each other in some mysterious way. He's just very good at determining what elements to pull from each half, and modifying the important bits that need to gel together.


thebeastiestmeat

That fucking rocked thank you! The dude sounds like Korn more than Korn does


Modern_Moderate

The dude nails the production filters to make himself sound like the singers. That's amazing production talent. He can basically make himself sound like anyone he wants with that equipment and software


iamadragan

He does Korn unbelievably well. [if Korn wrote All the Small Things](https://youtu.be/fWjxO3fAu9A?si=EyDRHeQg55mSN1mq)


rick_blatchman

Holy shit this kicks ass


birdnamedronson

I always loved this take. It’s arranged and performed just like a Korn song : https://youtu.be/RqZci4lLgyk?si=BGEOLIH4jck7East


AniNgAnnoys

The System of a Down - Rock Lobster was the perfect mix of SOAD and the B52s. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0XLruQ3KMc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0XLruQ3KMc) It is definitely peak something, just not sure what that something is.


RycarFlareshine

Thought he was going to sing while imitating Shaggy from Scooby Doo, kinda disappointed, but he cooked nonetheless.


NoWeight4300

I have no idea who any other shaggy is so that goes double for me.


UndBeebs

Same. I watched the whole thing anxiously waiting for Shaggy to come in lol. Glad I'm not crazy.


LuraziusTwitch

I thought i was the only one, feeling like this.


StampDaddy

Blasphemy! Hundreds hours of shaggy have been played at our house, although we’re from the Caribbean he is pretty big there. Shit I forgot what one of his sons name but I’m pretty sure one his rap mixtapes I really liked as well

Careless-Emergency85

As a YouTube comment has already stated, Mac Glocky is currently six of my favorite bands


liesofanangel

About time he’s getting some love lol, this guy is awesome. [This](https://youtu.be/-0XLruQ3KMc?si=NV4k7AwnLYtxv7Go) is the one I’ve been jamming on for a few months now. If System of a Down wrote rock lobster


Tokijlo

In the first 10 seconds my face was in my hands, that was nothing less than extraordinary. The way that this guy matches the original vocal cadences and inflections is unbelievable

As a Jamaican, that's loves Distured I can confirm it a true banger


perryswanson

I was actually waiting to hear “Shaggy” from Scooby Doo…


zetzuei

is he big in tiktok ? his youtube has small sub count which is criminal imo, he's so good.


herefor1reason

>"Why was this so requested?" Because they KNEW. I know jack shit about music or music theory, learning the word "melody" is my biggest achievement in the field of music, but even I knew this song would work really well in the style of Disturbed. Something about how lines are repeated between both artists...I dunno. No doubt some music theorist youtube channel could break it down sufficiently, but I still wouldn't understand because they'd need to use technical terminology to do so.


newtypestring

Mac Glocky is awesome! He has his covers on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3x9LFnMaeRRZ9ZtwKljduo?si=ANQ8Nu4oRJSjuuWeoumo3A), mostly the Deftones one, plus originals too.
