I'm a guitarist, a heavy metal fan, and also a lover of all kinds of music. This song was popular over some sort of cover/remix in the 80's and 90's somewhere. Listening to this and watching the videos makes me happy. Rock on my dude, you're the guitarist I used to wanna be when i grew up!!

same on working hours, but days, seasonal mood dampened, and a sought out the popcorn song.

[@idcanymore5287]

@@MysticSpank Sorry for your misfortune. I only put in 57 hours this week on 3rd and 5 hours on an afternoon shift on my day off. Im currently looking for another job. Problem is I do warehouse type work and they are all killing people with overtime right now and I dont know how to do anything else and getting too old to care. They are trying to get me to take a working supervisors job. More money and 70hours a week. I told them no but they keep hounding me. The seasonal depression sucks. It's not a disease as they say. It's cold and everything is dead it's natural to be depressed but the idiots have a pill for everything nowadays even if it's bs.

This song seems to be made to be covered and remixed. Hell, from trap remixes, dubstep - to VIOLIN covers, somehow there was an AWESOME example of it... And then this metal one is very awesome too.

Mad skills, dude! 🤘🏻I am not generally a heavy metal fan. Your video probably ended up in my feed because I watch and rewatch the Muppet version of Popcorn featuring the Swedish Chef. I passed over your video several times and then, one day, decided to watch it. I am so glad I did because, first of all, you are supremely talented and I can appreciate talent in any musical genre (those arpeggios! OMG!), and second, this song translated really well to heavy metal! So while I'll probably never be a fan of heavy metal in general, I'd certainly love to hear more of your music.

There is a fine line between classical and metal. (Just tossing a recommendation in- Camel by camel- LittleVMills)

This is simply brilliant, and the only regret I have is not being able to speak Spanish, because he seems to be really genuine individual with a wonderful talent, and he would be great to talk to, about guitars and music in general. I can't see any arrogance in his attitude, just confidence in his own ability and that shines through in this video. Who knows, maybe he can speak English better than I can because, when someone is truly talented, you can presume nothing!

[@reivajnarom683]

He speak english very well

That's insane, the 2nd part was crazy, this song translated to metal so well!

[@Incountry]

Retro Plus Considering Hotbutter did it on primitive Synths.!! One of those melodies that don’t date.!

[@RetroPlus]

samsonfm101 popcorn is about as primitive as it gets so I think it would actually work better on a primitive synthesizer. All you need is any waveform with very low decay and no sustain.

[@Incountry]

Retro Plus Agreed, I tried it on a Roland One it almost had similar sound, had an old Realistic Synth (moog) late 70s era and that worked well, basic of basics.!

[@indracaponious]

One of the few things left that's good about youtube....stumbling onto vids like this, then binge watching all of them. Great stuff.
