Blinding Lights (The Weeknd - Metal Version)

[@disymes9857]

I am a 65 year old mum (from Australia) with three boys, 40 years, 38 and my youngest the same age as you. My oldest loves heavy metal, middle son alternative and my youngest dance (he is a DJ). Now my grand kids love pop. I love all music even classical and jazz. I think that you are one amazing human and one hell of a talented person. Your mother must be so proud of you. I can not get enough of your music. Continue doing what you love and making music for all of us. Life sometimes is so hard but music will always be a healing thing. That is what I feel when I listen to you and see your beautiful face (and hair). God bless you

[@kc_duke6925]

Surprisingly, it turned out very similar to the Australian band Voyager. :)

Hi. I am 72 years and grandma of 3. My grandson died in age 17 in 2020 to brain tumor. With him I had common interest: music, especially metal. I started 64 years ago with adoring Elvis, then Beatles etc. Life is music, music is life.

[@tiinakari4055]

Hi, mum. I am 72 and love all kinds of music. Finland is promised heavy-land, so heavy metal is near my heart too.

Everything is better Metalized! 🎸🎸🎸 🤘

[@karolykovacs6719]

What we already know: Tommy is ☑an excellent guitarist, ☑an excellent pianist, ☑an excellent singer. But let's also note that Tommy is also ✅an excellent video editor, ✅an excellent videoclip maker, and ✅an excellent movie director too. That's why he's so special and unique and successful at what he does. Tommy, make more videos for us!

[@mariecarmenW3578]

Yes and he is very handsome too 😊❤

[@mariecarmenW3578]

YES and he is also so friendly, handsome and passionate about what he does. He is unique 😸😻👍🇫🇷

[@metalstorm7506]

Tommy’s covers make you wonder why the hell the original versions of the songs weren’t recorded in the power metal realm in the first place. Amazing job as always

[@AB-80X]

Lol, maybe because The Weeknd does not play power metal?

[@niclaswa5408]

Everything’s better when you add power metal to it

[@civic2.240]

Power metal rocks just get over the chease

[@civic2.240]

power metral is underated. i amit alot of it is not good but the good power metel is epic

[@civic2.240]

it epic n positive unlike other metal

[@sampapot]

the king of covers....without a doubt

[@НеллиИльязова]

This song sounds absolutely different in his performing. I don't like the original, but this version is absolutely lovely

[@hgadavid]

this needs more publicity, it's fire

[@margaretegrzyb9061]

O yes, it's true! 😊❤

[@jamesp7709]

The Weekend's head would explode if he heard this and realized some people sing without auto-tune. Great job, Tommy.

[@jamesp7709]

@Hannah Smith I wish I was as nice as you! I really do. A boy can dream... In the meantime, nothing sounds worse than people "singing" with auto-tune, and The Weekend may be the worst of all of them. Fucker probably auto-tunes his eggs for breakfast. Damn, I was mean again. Forgive me.

[@JayHaell]

Honestly, the weeknd is an amazing singer, I think you feel like he uses autotune because that style of music is extremely processed. Watch him sing "save your tears" with ariana grande live, it actually really good, even if you don't like the music. At least there's clearly no autotune being used.

[@ChickenWhisper-z3y]

Tommy blows this out of the water. Made it his own. I could never listen to the original now without thinking how amateur the Weekend sounds

[@Lyrikkanalen]

You can trust in Tommy: when he's going for a modern song, he'll be sure to pick one that sounds like it's straight out of the 80's🤩A good song made great, again👏🏻🔥

[@Zaizz100]

WTF??? Banger after banger after banger..... The talent is unreal!!!

[@richardsnijder7393]

The weekend sings on earth...Tommy 's song is from heaven send..

[@hamhox]

Legends speak of a metal version whose brightness was so great it is celebrated across the known universe.

[@MekoUnknown]

This couldve charted in the 80s just as it has now. Metal makes everything better, especially pop songs!

[@PurpleMetal-je1zv]

This heavier version is just incredible. This song should always have sounded like this, with that 80s vibes mixed with that furious guitar playing, and that wild singing. Bravo Tommy !

[@46dude41]

what? what did just happened? love the original version but this one is too much. Absolutely out of this world.

[@tkarfi]

Tommy is one of best singers all over the world!

WHOO HOO LETS GO TOMMY

[@plisken8799]

King of music.

Жаль, что не можу відвідати концерт наживо, але все одно тішусь з того,що бачу і чую на відео. Це чудово!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@neanderausdemtal8683]

OMG! The original; you can smoke it! This is possibly the best metal cover ever!!! Please more like this!!

[@stephendosson246]

It's an awsome cover. Check out Frog Leap Studios for another great version

[@JohnSanborn-y2n]

From start to finish, inside and out, upside and down forward and backwards, that is the best damm cover I've ever heard. Wow what a banger. Makes you want to listen to it again and again. This is now my new favorite song.

[@matje6978]

This is so much FUN!!! I can't dance for sh*t but I'm doing it anyway. And my husband looks at me funny like he's questioning some of his life choices, but I don't care 😅 Thank you for this, Tommy! 😁 Have a great weekend everyone 😙

[@tonymartin83]

This deserve an album.

[@АлексПростой-х4о]

оригинал по сравнению с этим исполнением просто отдыхает💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Mulukkis]

This is criminally good. Mad talent.

[@MiThreeSunz]

The original is a great song but Tommy, you elevated it to another level! Loved your creative license and arrangement on this tune! 👊🇨🇦

[@JohnSanborn-y2n]

Just imagine if this version by Tommy came out in the 80s. The big guy would be a world superstar.

[@christinabrant9922]

This one has been on repeat for several times over the last few months by now. Absolutely genious! Pure joy!

[@phamster18]

absolutely amazing isn't ? mee too.. just power metal with a hint of pop but still Tommy Stylelized... no words...

[@valkyriegoddess]

🤘🤘🤘 Oooh I'm so looking forward to this. I love my Friday nights. You're truly amazing Tommy 🤘🤘🤘

[@nataliemorton5568]

I had completely forgotten this song that I always loved, whenever it first came out!! Thanks for refreshing my music memory. It is very frustrating to comment on every song you produce because there are only so many adjectives in the universe and I think I have used most of them. This is the perfect song for YOU to sing because you are the Master of Lightening when it comes to your musical prowess, your Commanding Presence on camera, ( I will have a stroke if I am EVER blessed enough to see you in person!), your spontaneous funny gestures and faces, your explosive energy, and your gorgeous, flowing hair and smiling face. Put that all together and you have Quadruple Lightening. You are on Fire right now and I am Sooooo happy for you. I live in the Southern U.S. and I have already shared your videos with several friends and told them to subscribe, and I only watched you for the first time a month or so ago. So happy to "know you and your amazing everything!!!!! ☺🎸🎹🎶🎙🔊📱🥁🔥

[@PatriciaSilvers-c2z]

Im spreading too my friends & family about Tommy and they all love him and all hus talent❤

The best metal cover of this song!

[@todd_halfacre]

this is the best surprise ive had in my feeeed. flipping amazing brother

[@tomasandersson2236]

Can we all just stop for a minute, and appreciate the sound when he sings "UUUUUUUUUH", not the "OOOOOOOH". The depth and clarity in that note is amazing.

[@christianestamm2655]

Wow, Sie schlagen mit Ihrer Powerstimme sämtliche Sänger. Super Cover !

[@ollelundberg577]

Wow! Another great song taken to a new level! This must be how Max Martin secretly wanted the song to be performed. 🤘😊

[@skogsvagen]

[@tech-preistryzan9988]

its so easy to goof up the synth sound or to make it clash with the rest of the song. but dang dose the synth tone just match so well with the song cover. great job

I honestly don't know how you manage to turn a wonderful song into something even greater. The details you put into the melody, the power of the voice along with your charisma maybe explain it, maybe. Gratitude for your enormous talent and changing the meaning of Friday. Brazil sends greetings.

Compartid! Venga ya!! Que nos encanta Tommy es más que evidente. No puede ser de otro modo.

[@AB-80X]

The original is a very, very good song. So making changes is hard. The original has a level of production quality and coherency rarely seen these days. So doing this was quite the feat in itself.

This is the best metal cover, Tommy. Great vocals too, man! All other covers on KZbin are tasteless.

[@ivetavasilcova4551]

I just can't stop watching it - it is SO contagious that song - its melody, its lyrics, its energy - it "calls" you to move, to dance, to sing, to smile - no matter what you are doing at the moment. I need to agree with other comments, too that you, Tommy, sound many times much better than the original song. It seems to me that many songs were written in fact for you - to give them the "right" look, the "right" voice and the "right" energy. You and Erik Grönwall are two extraordinary and - in my opinion - most talented singers/musicians of this century. Watching you both and listening your voices make me feel so happy and free... Your songs - from both of you - just go straight into my 💘 and melt it...😊 Thank you ❤
