Making a Metalcore song in 1 hour. Easy, right? Maybe? Woah another relic of the past! The only reason I didn't upload this one was...because I forgot I think. That and the webcam lighting was terrible. But it was a fun bit nonetheless! I'm still working heavily on some important projects and commissions, so I got Depriety to edit this one for me as well! I will be back with new content, but I figure while this site is uh...doing it's thing, it'd be a good time to focus my attention on things that will benefit my career more. I will be back very soon though! But for now, I hope you enjoy this video of uh...Metal Boy Johnny. He's okay. Here is "Attempting to Make a Metalcore Song in 1 Hour"! I hope you enjoy!

0:03 Shady: is a master shredder Cheese: *my time has come*

[@DaxTheOtter]

Shady: "None of that emoshit" Also Shady, literally a second later: "Metalcore"

[@theopreston8507]

this is incredible! I'm glad you're taking a break though, burnout is often overlooked and it is incredibly important to care for your mental health.

[@Kathelina]

The riffs are still so anime.

[@NevetsTSmith]

postbreakdown at about 16:01 has strong early 90's vidya energy. love it

[@theopreston8507]

Johnny's the last true rocker left

[@creamman5311]

"Super crust salty core".

[@SAggyPingas]

I'm excited for what's to come man! I love your guitar stuff, and an album sounds amazing.

[@6ey6es6]

Where can I get this on my playlist not even joking this is a vibe.

[@caznat8599]

I love it. Thank you

[@caznat8599]

This video gives me some really good vibes and I don't know why

[@Rpenguin]

Great music!❤❤👏

[@kazuoyashiki]

Next one: Make a song with all the cliches you hate

[@2k13Ghost]

We all know what chord progression that is

[@peanutbutter1998]

1465

[@rembrandtpoelzer7311]

He said "that ain't heavy. This is heavy" and I got an ad that started with "shes leaving me" omg I thought it was part of the video

[@lemonberry_soda]

The ending sounds like you'd hear everything clatter, and all the band members would immediately congratulate each other in a slightly muffled way, and then some shuffling sounds as the singer turns off the recording

[@IndieTheArchivist]

Time to use that to end an album

[@hiiistrex2838]

"our own breakdown, a mental breakdown!"

[@ScrawnyMcMassive]

The impressive part was how he spent about 85% of his time budget shit-talking Between the Buried and Me, much like any true metal artist would. That's the true essence of metal

[@OracleOfAegis]

Metal Johnny Has Joined The Battle!

[@callmemosesg.6495]

I love how he is showing signs of a tsundere

[@ddduv]

8:22 Hang on-Hang on-Hang o- *Starts playing MEGALOVANIA*

[@kristianfrederichsen9005]

The megalovania part got me. 8:10

[@kwispy9932]

i saw this comment as the megalovania part happened lmao

[@WitherMori]

Omg my favorite musician metal boi johnny! :00

[@EliteMeatsMusic]

how do you just have all these instruments they're like a 1000 dollars each. bruh

[@tacticalguy6473]

rent money

[@boim6477]

Saving up money my guy

[@DragonriderEpona]

Wondering if a little bit of wood wood would improve the greatness of this song even more

[@fdsmedefer8799]

I love the Shady Cicada style, it doesn't matter in what genre he makes his music it always sounds amazing

[@bronsoncarder2491]

Very decent. What I find interesting is that the lead heavily suggests a vocal melody, in a way that I wouldn't think would be possible without... y'know, a vocal track. lmao

[@srrycantthinkofagoodname]

Hell yeah, Metal Boy Johnny has finally come to KZbin. I don't think I saw this entire attempt live but I saw at least some of it, this was the same stream that he made Overdrive

[@monoceros5637]

“Is it gonna be garbage? Probably.” *banger-meter gets shot off into the stratosphere with how good this sounds*

[@virtueisdead]

15:50 holy shit I'm actually VIBING

[@boim6477]

Thank you Johnny, now I can make my drummer, vst or not, have arms so sore that they'll just break their bones halfway through the chorus :D

[@sylvan-projectxorven-8210]

I'm getting a lot of Gravity by Sixteen in the Mono vibes, but with it's own original design to the song and I love it. Keep up the good work, and I hope Project L.U.C.A is going well

[@chubee5]

This slaps and more people needs to see this

[@virtueisdead]

lmao "slayer, metallica, none of that emo hair shit" 5 seconds later "metal core"

[@smash_adams]

Onlyfans but it's Shady stressing out over time constraints

[@theclashingcrafter5354]

I don't know what metalcore is but if this is a representation of it then *_I want MORE_*

[@BatWing_the_Penguin]

10:02 A trace of the true self exists in the fake self

[@alloounou6900]

How much wood could a Wood Wood wood if a Wood Wood could wood wood?

[@SophieSquid]

Yo wait is this a sequal to Karma?!? That's one of my favorite riffs of all your songs I'm excited.

[@larsnyman2455]

Early gang, thank god I have notifications on

[@DWGooding]

I"m really glad you are merging your guitar skills into the speed challenges.

[@unknowndeviceconnected]

does it help if i just keep your video playing on the background? im sorry im not too interested in metal, but i really wanted to watch your vid when i saw it came out yesterday,, like, does "passively watching" your vids help you as a content creator?

[@IanHolwood]

All comments, time in video, and thumbs up help the KZbin algorithm to push shady’s videos to the people. Ya done your boy good!

[@painstakinglybad2762]

"None of that emo haired garbage" *realizes he has emo hair*

[@2k13Ghost]

I love this guy. Beanie-wearing emo hair-denying shredboi

[@KefkeWren]

It sounds like a metal cover of a videogame song.

[@micahwilcox8433]

That was amazing. Love the melodic harmonies, reminds me of Red

[@Zenicka]

shady is a method actor confirmed.

[@machinemercury8171]

thrashed potatoes for rosalina

[@emeraldbonk5368]

Can't wait to add it to my Spotify playlists

[@LMSLING]

If this is not knives and pens I don't know what is

[@sourtooth8389]

YES MUSIC TIME

[@45potato95]

14:30 if you want to skip the best part

[@HotSauceBear]

It actually sounds pretty darn great! And for some reason, if you asked me a month ago if Shady ever uploaded the 1 hour metalcore video, I probably would have said yes. I'm not sure why

[@inadaze6076]

I love how he shittalks Black Veil Brides and then procedes to pretty much write a Black Veil Brides song. Yes I am a Black Veil Brides fan, shut up, i dont care if you like them or not.

[@CoolColton947]

Pretty sure 90% of this is satire-

[@inadaze6076]

@@CoolColton947 oh i know - i just thought that was kinda funny

[@jgabe73]

I used to watch this channel so much but for some reason haven't seen a video in a while. I'm glad to be back!

[@ForciblySquished]

What if you made a metal version of a Taylor Swift song while trying to make a metal song

[@dedrxbbit7549]

Very Asking Alexandria reminiscent. Friggen loved it bro

[@eliscassarosa9755]

I'm Single 😍😥

[@infelicitas]

The fact he came up with a band name that is actually pretty cool in 2 seconds hurts me

[@ekayangtyler5592]

i need to be able to save this epic song to my epic playlist

[@ride_the_goth259]

What kind of chords does he use ? I mean it sounds so full but it's still clean

[@mranderson9553]

the quick "this video is unavailable at 10:57"

[@jojj9708]

you recorded this a year and a half before you posted it

[@ryanjl9]

Shady = Breaking Benjamin?

[@felixp535]

16:30 - 16:35 That part is so freakin' dope!

[@QuackSpeed]

holy shit duuuude

[@SpywareVA]

You have tabs for that?

[@018FLP]

I like this kind of shit! =D

[@crispybacon3168]

Comment

[@frankjager1647]

You should look into the Evertune equipped ESPs. Makes recording a breeze, because the ET works EXACTLY as good as it's advertised to do, which is wild.

[@DisturbedVette]

I wrote an intro to a song and it kinda sound like something I heard before, now I know where it came from. Cryptomnesia really got me 😔 Welp it’s different enough, so maybe if I write something better than this I can get away with it hehe

[@kwispy9932]

Yoo this sounds sick XD

[@kesk5619]

You are a genius

[@Praecantetia]

You gotta do more of these Metal videos. This slaps. And that metal musician persona is really fun too!

[@justarandomgamer6058]

"all of this cool stuff is coming. I just need time" okay well I'm officially hyped.

[@AlexMartinez-cu5bw]

Hoping you could get someone to sing on this like you did with "The Rise". It would sound amazing.

[@cheeseparrot1158]

what program do u use

[@codename618]

Check the description.

[@WONDERMALT]

when do you stream on twitch for music?

[@deadgun3gaming112]

It may not say anime or game inspired but this sounds like a dope anime opening

[@TheWillieA]

IRIS (da games) is laughing in the distance

[@IanHolwood]

Beat the coconuts to freshen the milk!

[@MothflavoredJam]

Shady: Go back to your pop Me:.......ok

[@arcticfox1049]

Keep up the good work shady 😆👍

[@Schuffles]

2 pain 😔🔫

[@cow-stealin-gal]

2:46 What’s the name of this song?

[@simonheerze3085]

I hope you're doing good Shady!

[@AZALEA_HG]

This sounds incredibly familiar and I don’t know why

[@tongarfrunchy9019]

I think it's the Karma riff, so yeah

[@pamur7280]

Love your music aaaaaaa im

[@youngzombie6342]
