[@CannibalKon]

What I found funny was that once he started praising them chat suddenly changed tunes real quick.

[@Red1676]

Chat in streams are always like that, it's like if a dog too a massive half liquid shit on a escalator. It's worse when it's metal because it's ALWAYS got metal elitist arm chair posers that are furthest thing from being apart of the music scene. They usually go to one or two big concerts a year at the most and act like they know it all. The true fans of the genre that been to atleast one sketchy bar, put in atleast a show every month, and have grown knowledge from touring bands, know to appreciate all musicians that are out there doing it even if you're not a fan. The local kids playing playing their first cover is still out there doing it, the guy streaming himself playing the guitar is still doing it, the guys busting his ass to promote his shows is still doing it, the kids buying the albums proved the bands are doing it, and that's part of the respect that the useless metal elitists will never understand. You can be critical of artists too as let's them grow, still have to give respect, but then there is just being a asshole like seen in chat being dipshits. Those are the ones truly killing the genre.

[@Dornogol]

yeah wtf, such narrow minded people in chat. i wanted to smack them the whole time when I glanced over there

[@chavezmarchant2766]

I think one of the biggest problems of chat-like systems, is the same problem that twitter has. There's only so much you can write that will be read, meaning, thoughts are unnecessarily condensed in to seemingly stupid statements/commments. Whereas here where there is essentially no limit on what will be read, there's nuance. But also, chat is cancer.

[@jamescheddar4896]

jonathan young has a very low vocal range i think. either that or he deliberately sings below his natural register to try and sound more godly and ominous. he does the bass and the reinforced falsetto. he probably would sound a bit better if he stopped trying to "darken" his voice

Such is the anonymity of the internet, I'm afraid. 'Course, the only reason I even bothered listening to this cover was because it was done by Young, and REB was just an unexpected bonus.

I like some of Jonathan Young's Disney song covers. Namely, "Prince Ali" from Aladdin, and "Be Prepared" from The Lion King. What stands out about him most, is that he's a Baritone singer. Not a tenor like most guys try to be, but often fail at being. He's smart enough to stay within his natural range instead of trying to force himself out of it. He'll change the music arrangement to fit his voice, rather than force his voice to fit the music.

Check out Jonathan Young's original album Starship Velociraptor! It's really awesome stuff.

I remember watching you play that solo while doing a backflip off a monitor stack like 12 years ago lmao. Or at least, it was some kinda solo. I just remember you guys doing all kinds of crazy stunts while playing guitar. Truly amazed me lol.

[@Azrael79a]

Pretty sure it was in Baltimore, Ram's Head Live.

Amazing! Through the fire and flames is too epic and thank you for creating it for all to enjoy

[@DimirGarage]

I’d love to hear a “My Spirit Will Go On” cover. That song is my jam. That dude’s voice is sick too.

[@steveunderwood0]

every time I've introduced to one of these covers..... it just takes me back to when I first heard Through the Fire and Flames....some 35 years into love of music and Rock and Roll.....as much as I loved the song....I just didn't appreciate it for the beautiful piece of artistry that it is. Herman Li.....you are truly a creative genius. Thank you for all that you've brought into the world of music! Love you dude.

[@kuroiryu9434]

I love how delightfully understated the commentary is lol

[@BaMenace]

That was sick! You could see Hermans eyebrows playing the notes..

[@LykeiosLittleRaven]

Your reactions are awesome! I’m so glad Jonathon Young is getting this kind of recognition.he deserves it! 🤘🔥

[@Jace_ScribeofPalara]

This was awesome when I first heard it. One of my favorite artists on KZbin playing one of my favorite songs from my favorite band. I got so many chills from it

[@go7cha459]

Herman is a saint. He brought us the gift of rock. May we dull pics in his glory!

[@zackjarvis6503]

man this was such a awesome cover might have to listen more to this guy

[@danriley5848]

That was pretty epic they did a phenomenal job on your music and it was cool to see you dig it. 👍✌

[@Pokeater]

So glad he reacted to this Jonathan Young is really good

[@Atuin]

No need to feel bad, Mr. Li. You have inspired a whole generation of musicians and music, and will continue to forever. Thank you for the gift of your creations and performances.

[@dylanleymeister2658]

This is great, both the cover and the original artist's reaction to it. Amazing stuff!
