Denzel is a rapper that made one of the best albums of last year, TA13OO

[@oneshak]

DirtyDanChicago no one of I still think J Cole’s album edged it

[@ulquiorra4cries]

@@oneshak I think Ta13oo was way better than KOD, but I respect your taste

[@cal5750]

@@ulquiorra4cries I agree. Personally I liked TA13OO far better. No shade at Cole though, was still a great album.

Denzel should just step in for the prophets of rage. Rage against the machine will always be zak but prophets could be aaaaaall denzel.

[@pbm2324]

Dean Retlah facts!

[@ieatcrayons2058]

Yea, fuck the vocalist in prophet of rage, they should change it.

[@squishybuffalo]

And then the band could play his stuff with live instruments that needs to be a full tour that would be such an amazing live show

[@liamsmith2340]

denzel has already beat Zack

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Denzel also covered Bad Brains and System of a Down so they could do that too. i would pay bookoo bucks to see that

[@MrDubstepOCE]

Not sure if you know much about Denzel Curry, but he is a rapper. That is why this is so astonishing to everyone. He killed this shit. Would be cool to see you react to one of Denzel's Originals ;)

[@KiraDaBeastNY]

It shouldn't be surprising. He has that type of voice, and his genre is basically Trap Metal, and a lot of his music has that type of metal influenced style.

[@MrDubstepOCE]

@@KiraDaBeastNY Oh I know he has a great voice for this. I love his music. I just didn't think it would transition this well. The energy he brings, the "screaming" was better then I would expect a rap artist to do. But also his energy towards his performance. You can tell he loves this song and it was part of his youth. Also, the fact that he did this was unexpected to me. I had no clue "like a version" existed but I think its great.

[@jacobberryman804]

If he did he should do vengeance

[@4x4andfishing]

The guitar player is Harts and he has his own music that Prince actually completed him on before he passed and Harts from listening is a big prince fan and he also obviously likes Hendrix. Apparently that was first take and no rehearsal with Denzel.

[@sample.text.]

"That's the best i've ever heard anyone do this" Truer words have never been spoken.

[@chrisgomez8747]

I think its time for RATM to come out of retirement with denzel, lets get this American tour going

[@traplover6357]

Lol. RATM is touring now

[@shashankiyer5751]

And Australia plz haha

[@enzoc3869]

At 3:37...he puts in from his own song Sirenz which you should check out

[@1chaka]

God I have a new love for Denzel. I already respected him as a rapper but to know that he loves this kind of music and delivered such a fantastic cover. Always wowwing me.

[@KiraDaBeastNY]

I'm kinda confused everyone is surprised. Both him and X, while versatile, are known for that Metal influenced style.

[@pbm2324]

Denzel sang half of SOAD's Chop Suey in a concert!

[@ALIENjoy]

Yooooo I gotta see that

Now we stuck, in a rut, this ain't what I envisioned What is what? What is guts when you don't have intuition? Not a saint, not a sin, tell me what's my real religion? Genocide, Genesis, they say it's a new beginnin' I'm a sinner, you a sinner, I can see the devil grinnin'! RALLY 'ROUND THA FAMILY!...

[@robertschmitz3788]

This is a magical song right here. I went to Denzel's concert here in Germany and it was absolutely fantastic. After 8 moshpits or so, we figured he has to be done for today. But no. He Fcking Played This Song As The Finisher. It was so goddamn crazy, the air was pure energy and the whole hall was doing the craziest moshpits I have ever witnessed. LEGENDARY

[@riacaasi5259]

The guitar sound wasn't aggressive enough to match the energy of the vocals imo. Not many guitarists can match the execution of Tom Morello. That said, the cover was awesome

[@Runyan4PREZ]

100%.. Morello is an all-timer. He invented the shit. Nobody really does what he does..

[@1chaka]

That’s true, Denzel really felt like he was invoking RATM with this rendition. While I respected the band for staying out of Denzel’s way for this cover, it would’ve been nice to hear a little more Morello in the guitar. Like he said in the beginning, maybe some less filter and some more wah?

[@amicklich6729]

@@1chaka Feels like the guitar was downplayed in this cover. I get it. I get it. Fantastic, passionate cover. Curry did an awesome job...But, one of the things that spoke most to me in the original was what was coming from Tom's guitar. Pure, driven power. Song gets me fired up!

[@1chaka]

A Micklich definitely, if the guitarist channeled Morello in the same way Curry channeled Zack it would’ve been THAT much better, it also would’ve just matched the energy of Curry’s vocals better too

[@sibbalicious000]

Like a Version isn’t about sounding exactly like the original. It’s about putting your own spin on it. That’s what the guitarist was doing. Check out the Like a Version where Art vs. Science do what is essentially a disco version of Enter Sandman.

[@carvalho9021]

Best reaction so far

[@braeig8043]

I was in shock when I first heard it and still am

[@cal5750]

The keys are are being used as a synth sample for guitar and bass. There's a behind the scenes of this that shows it. Also you earned a sub, excellent reaction!

[@backhandthings4942]

watch Denzel Curry at the WOO HA FESTIVAL 2018... he's used to screaming

[@Randhawa241]

Best reaction to this lmaooo

[@Randhawa241]

Btw you lowkey look like Casey neistat

[@robhughes4682]

It's "like a version" not "like a cover" it's supposed to be different.

[@kabiskzor]

Its not really that different tho.. Its basically the same song with 1 extra verse the flow is pretty much exactly the same as the original. Was a great cover tho for sure.

[@1chaka]

I think Denzel really tried to pay respect to RATM since this is such an important song, and Denzel knew he’s straying kinda far from his usual audience so he didn’t wanna do too much rapping

[@roots14808]

In the instrumental they just didnt adjust the Pedal right, and thats it.. hmm

[@RGB94]

blud's jaw dropped at 1:29 had him shook

[@gbrl433]

Sirens verse was on point

[@TheWorseOne]

I had a similar reaction of complete shock and awe at this perfect delivery of one RATMs best songs.

[@morahnyc2364]

Damn Denzel!! Please make a live band off this!!!

[@besto764]

Found this about a year ago. It's still my favourite reaction to it. Still keep coming back to it. "Strike it from the record"

[@aidanglover6748]

Hey Man I totally agree with the wah section, I absolutely love Denzels stuff and Rage but if you know the original that section juuuust isnt quite right. But apart from that totally perfect. Great proper reaction dude

[@adriancurley2598]

And to think this was live a national radio on a friday morning

[@avm4477]

A great reaction and an even greater shirt. Love it

[@Dd8505]

Yeah man completely agree with you about the phase effect on the wah wah initial part, a lot of my musician reactor's have said the exact same thing.

[@OptimusHighMegaBong]

Your SHOOK face 😮😮😮 lol

[@Hermes8A8A]

He looked like me when he started hearing the 1st verse *Jaw Dropped* & *Dumbfounded* Good reaction

[@KJ-je9pm]

Bruh Denzel got everyone shook!!!

[@jkitchen2003]

This was so entertaining to watch

[@xecidex]

Love this reactions and awesome insight

[@spacejamgoliath]

Its good you were ashamed. We can be friends now

[@IndiePlanet]

Finally someone that comments of the horrible tone from the guitar during the wah part

[@orlock20]

I didn't like the vocals. Outside of "pocket full of shells" and "bulls on parade" I couldn't understand a single word he said. Maybe that could have been fixed with a different microphone or at the mixing desk.

[@nmer5023]

The radio station supplies the band so it's tough to judge Denzel on that considering he played no part in it

[@sfdko3291]

I'm shook No cap

[@Luke-zh5xe]

Every react video I see says I got chills when he hits that first "Rally round the family". Same. Fuckin same.

Your reaction was my exact reaction too just surprised. And your not the only one that thinks the guitar sounded off another guitar KZbinr reacted to this and he said the same thing. I play guitar also and I think so too

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thank you man!!! We’re stoked you loved the band :) Check our our KZbin channel for a vid of us rehearsing it with Denzel. And by the way I was playing a filthy synth bass :)

[@EllisLamarMusic]

Thanks for the info, excellent job thickening the low end. Just sounded like an amazingly fat bass, not doubled. I guess that means you killed it!

[@KokonutDrakkula]

if you read the description on the original video this is one of his favorite songs

[@GrandpaOCE]

the look on your face when Denzel goes nutz

[@gordoboy18]

Chills

[@bob2shred894]

Triple j is a government run youth station . This like a version happens live on radio every week.

[@Huumf]

I wanna see Zak react to this

[@norseca542]

to answer your question, the guitar sounded identical in the rehearsals but obviously the guitar player chose another pedal and that changed the whole sound

[@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871]

Need to see the band react to this guy he put on a fucking show!!!

[@troysimmonds5215]

Really good for a rapper Denzel curry can do a lot of genre

[@truthteller9772]

Denzel should be the lead singer of RATM

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

Your face at 1:29 is priceless, total shock lol

[@ConnorHolsteinmusic]

As soon as i clicked i got a bernie sanders ad

[@truthteller9772]

Love your reaction Denzel was a Tornado blew the old the fuck out

[@leannekudahl2432]

We really didn't need your comments... Listeners to Triple J's, Like a Version segment, loved this COVER (not supposed to be a copy). It was even voted #5 in our Hottest 100 songs of 2019. It was freeaking awesome and the reasons why he covered it were notable too! An interview with Denzel about why he covered this song... www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/mornings/inspired-denzel-curry/11646746 Not a particular fan of heavy music, but I Fnnn love this version of Rages' song !!!

[@jonob9004]

This is what Triple Js' Like a Version is all about. You should take a deeper look at it mate !

[@dirkisonfire]

Everyone is trippin, hearts killed it on guitar. If you are expecting it to sound like a copy paste version of Tom morello than you are listening to the wrong radio segment. Like a version is how artists make a song their own version. His licks were fire, especially toward the end when he riffs a bit. If you wanted a more “Tom” sounding guitar I think it would have took away from Denzel, and at the end of the day it’s Denzels like a version performance and not hearts like a version performance

[@johnniebee4328]

yea I had a similar reaction to this for sure

[@MrManoo123]

Bruh I had the same reaction

[@stefanieiversen8847]

Hard to live up to Tom Morello

reaction was hilarious lmao. Video audio is really bad btw; especially when pointing out things like you do, the viewer should hear it properly as well

when will the internet be satisfied with reactions to this cover? plumber reacts? salamander reacts? pest control technician reacts?

The camera can't focus on you because you're too astonished lmao

[@dezo343]

Cool shirt. 😎😎

[@EllisLamarMusic]

ha, thanks!

[@harrisontodd5742]

Your talking about the guitar not sounding right? Triple j "like a version" means that people cover songs in their own way, if you look at other videos you will understand. So the Wah pedal part was a different sound they were obviously looking for

[@tmanley111]

That guitar part was missing that 'waka-waka' sound if you get what I'm saying

[@tomwilliams8591]

The first reaction to pick up the issues with the guitar sound, thank you, I thought I was going insane after noone else seemed to be hearing it...

[@xXSprMgaAwsmFxyHtXx]

the effect was different, I wouldn't say bad though. Just different from the original

[@MisterBolticus]

The music audio is a bit janky but great video man!

[@tobin3594]

[@kennyhernandez1690]

Even tho this is really good I prefer my Denzel as a rapper 🙌

[@truthteller9772]

[@businesscatlimbo]

It bothers me that he didn't just use a wah pedal for this

[@phar0ahad3]

Donal trump Donald Duck What The Fuck Lmao !!

[@Philmatic1213]

Like # 666🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@DynamiteProd]

It was good but not close to the original.

[@cohan000]

Those pauses at the end of his own verse ruined the transition back to the RATM lyrics, which imo was the best part of the whole song.

[@GhostofGoliad]

Ummm..it was respectable. Not in the same league as the original. Imho of course.

[@Runyan4PREZ]

Well, of course. Best cover I personally have ever heard. Nobody is Morello, the main riff tone was too deep.. but goddamn Denzel killed it.

[@Runyan4PREZ]

Of course, again, nobody is Zack.. it is HIS words and he delivers it with more rage than anyone else.. but you could tell Denzel connects with the lyrics, and it is one of his favorite songs.

[@1chaka]

Well of course, it’s extremely rare for a cover to be better than the original, and this is RATM’s Bulls on Parade we’re talking about, hard to top. But you can’t den Denzel did a great job with his version of this song, you can tell he actually listens to this music and loves it

[@cal5750]

Tbh I wouldn't even be mad if someone said they preferred this over the original. Denzel's voice is different enough from Zack's to create a similar but different sound and the extra verse from SIRENZ fits in pretty well. Unbiased judgement, Denzel did a fantastic job.

[@expectoprotesto]

That's why it's called a cover. Most covers are done with that artist's quirks. Ya know.
