I think Dirk improved the song artistically by a mile, the original is poppy but Dirk added movement, variations, and groove. It generally improved the expression and the message of the song.

[@alexrus5495]

Speaking of memorable parts, that fill he did before second pre-chorus just stucked in my head, the release is so satisfying

[@dpacula63]

I actually love Mr brightside. I think of it more of an emo classic.

[@Chooopy]

Same. I agree with Mike that it’s not all that complicated of a song or anything, but it’s fun. I also highly disagree with him thinking that it’s only a bunch of white girls that care about it. It’s basically a karaoke classic/sporting anthem around the world. Even a way to celebrate a funeral. RIP Ger Foley I know he claims to be a music snob, but this is sorta why I rarely watch his vids anymore. Being a snob about a song or genre of music is fine, but then he makes some wild, untrue claim so he feels justified in not liking it. It’s just incredibly off putting. Just say you don’t like the song. Don’t make shit up

[@Owely16]

​@@Chooopyyeah he does alot of the stereotypical metal head takes.

[@DumbTacoBeast]

@Chooopy 100% agree. I don’t watch many videos from this guy because I’m always either annoyed or in a bad mood after watching one. I know it’s his brand to be snob but I hate it.

[@Chooopy]

@@DumbTacoBeast It's just the way he's a snob that rubs me the wrong way. There are plenty of metalhead music snobs that I follow and have no problem with. He just seems so desperate to come off as a contrarian all the time that he just says whatever he wants to justify his point of view, despite them not being well thought out. It's genuinely annoying.

[@Nanjeroni]

@@Chooopy I disagree with many of his takes, but that said a lot of what Mike does, is either trying to add entertainment to the video, or exaggerating his opinion to exemplify his subjective view. Try not to read into it too much. After all, it becomes tiresome having to state caveats for everything you say in every video.

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

It’s a cultural hit in Ireland too. There was a viral video of half an Irish town crowding out a pub, belting out this song for a guy who passed away recently.

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

I listened to the track for the first time too; I recognized a couple of parts. I'd heard the name Mr. Brightside thrown around but never heard music to go along with it, so I confused it with Mr. Sandman and another song I can't find. Mr. Brightside is okay. It's cohesive for sure, but it feels like it doesn't go anywhere, and I agree that it doesn't have that payoff or really memorable part. It sounds like one long verse. I probably won't come back to it, but now I know what song people are referring to. As for Dirk, his performance was killer (dammit, I walked into that one too). He did that in one take?! It sounds so clean, tasteful, and on the beat.

[@EmperorTigerstar]

5:46 - The payoff is the "I never" part. That wailing sends me.

[@johannes4218]

I feel like us drummers have an advantage in this stuff because we only really have to concentrate on the rhythm and the feel of the track. I think I would do a pretty good job at this but couldn't imagine doing anything worthwhile if I also had to learn the chords and melodies on the fly.

[@tbone121974]

Dirk's absolutely right. At a professional level time is limited. I've played shows where the rehearsal is the same length as the show if not shorter. It made my sight reading very accurate as a result. A lot of it was against click track which meant you didn't really have the opportunity to go over parts again. Meanwhile, there was an expectation when playing big band sets to play it correctly at first sight. It took me a while to get used to it, but it's achievable.

[@augenmaugen]

That double time hi-hat is 100% 80’s post-punk/new wave. The Cure drummer used it all the time, Killing Joke’s “love like blood” is a killer jam that makes good use of it.

[@yugoxgc]

Watched the original vid before this. Very interesting reinterpretation from Dirk. Cool to hear a different take on the song

[@unleashthebloodthirst69420]

You may not like Megadeath (Wich is fine) but you have to admit, all of them can fucking play and shred!

[@1974spr]

What I like about the parts that don't feel as satisfying, is that this is his first time playing the song after hearing it with no practice. He starts to build his confidence through the song and it starts to sound REALLY good towards the second half. So much of the finished product is practicing and revising so this first run through is absolutely epic to me.

[@blakestonetablets3467]

I’m also a metal head but come on Mike, this song is definitely iconic and is very hook-y and has a great pay off.

He also said his parents encouraged and supported him wherever his musical interests took him. He seems like such a thoughtful and humble guy.

[@derpy.1]

It’s cool that you don’t have Drumeo commenting on your vids, but the Tech’s and behind the scenes people, which just speaks volumes as to WHO listens to your content 👍

[@vlcheish]

4:30 I have to disagree on this being only a white girl wasted song. It's simply a really well written pop song and everyone likes singing it wasted. Mr Brightside is basically a national anthem in the UK at this point(look up 'Mr Brightside UK popularity' )

[@simons2155]

Agreed. I'm not sure I understand his point especially when he says it doesn't have a multiple 'pay off' like some over the top American 80s song and it instead has 'I'm afraid to be in public British frail boy moments'. The song has the themes of jealousy and paranoia which is something every human experiences, yet it can make you feel happy, sad, and everything in between....there's simply this great juxtaposition on the jealousy/paranoia themes and the upbeat music combines with catchy nursery rhyme lyrics. The song is both predictable and unpredictable adding tension as the chorus and ending doesn't end on the same key as the as the start. TLDR - The music is happy catchy pop with darker lyrical themes that expertly taps into feelings jealousy and paranoia that every human being experiences (unless you're some alpha redpiller who has no emotions and just bangs 10s all day long hitting nothing but net their entire life).

[@NotAParanoidAndroid]

[@SINGHDASLAYA]

It's funny that The Killers are from Las Vegas but yet do sound so British with their music. I definitely do understand where Mike is coming from with the song, its hook is that it's simple to follow instrumentally for a listener and has a mix of youthful promiscuity and misunderstood emotional lad culture into it lyrically. In my eyes, it's almost a precursor song to the pandemic in music which is THOT culture music for girls to get in the mood to be seduced.

[@guitarist8688]

I always thought the "I Never" part at the end was the big payoff moment, personally, but i get the vibe of what you mean, Mike.

[@BecomeTheKnight]

The ending is very strong

[@Jordo246]

Mr Brightside is so weird to me because I swear it wasn't that popular of a song until people started acting like it was a really popular song. I mean I grew up in the UK in the 2000's, I remember The Killers having a few big hits but I don't particularly remember Mr Brightside being that popular. I seem to remember When You Were Young and Smile Like You Mean It being much bigger songs at the time.

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

Same, I remember a few hits and then forgot about them. Fast forward a decade or more and people are treating this song like it's Living on a Prayer or something like that (name any 80s singalong song).

Mr. Brightside is a great pop song because of his delivery of the lyrics which are very good. That's why you don't actually get it since you are looking at it through a different lens. That's cool. Some songs are great for the music some for the lyrics. This is an emotion song from the lyrics.

I find it so funny that people (Americans) are flabbergasted that Dirk a man from Belgium born in 1975 that until 2016 had lived and mostly worked in Europe didn't know a song that blew almost exclusively in the USA and was recognized in some other English speaking countries ...

[@AnderDoUrden]

So... I was about to (hopefully) say that it's not so absurd that he's never heard of this song cause I had never heard of it myself. Then in the thumbnails I noticed Rick Beato's "What makes this song great" and I thought: no, it can't be THAT song. It's that song, so, yeah. I'm the peculiar one

[@tauvholiik7936]

Never heard of Killers, let alone Mr. Brightside. Back in the late 80's I was a big Megadeth fan, but I could not tell you who was the drummer, so now I have now for the first time introduced to Dirk. I quit listening to the radio back in the mid 90's when I shifted from Death Metal to Symphonic Black Metal and Progressive Death Metal. Now that I am creating my own music (not yet finished let alone released), I rarely listen to even my favorites such as Carach Angren, Dimmu Borgir, Epica, Septicflesh, Haggard, Igorrr, Oxxo Xoox, Voivod, Omnium Gatherum, Amorphis, Obscura, etc. etc. I was expecting more double bass drums and was almost let down, but Dirk delivered despite losing track of how he wanted to end the song. I have reworked classic pop/rock songs with metal guitars and double bass drums (midi programing) without any metal influences into symphonic death and black metal with touches of ambient electronic music. Almost any genre devoid of metal can be converted into metal. But Dirk's drums did not make Mr. Brightside sound like metal, not even the sparse double bass drums. To do that, the final third or fourth of the song needed an entire buildup to not only double bass drums but double time on drum rolls and more cymbals and even a few short blast beats bursts.

One important thing that isn't clear in this video (at least to me) - unlike the drumeo "Enter Sandman" video, in this one Dirk only listened to a drumless version of the song. I think he knocked it outta the park. The intro on the original is very nice but overall I like this version better :)

You are cracking me up. It's supposed to be an anxious circle of unresolved anxiety and pain.. A lot of people love it because they've been there. They've walked in a room, saw their partner kissing, touching or all over someone and immediately felt that gut punch. That punch that resonates thru you, unresolved, screaming, ripping, tearing, stabbing thru to your soul.. the ONLY resolution in this song is that there is none. He just walks away with a sarcastic "I'll get over it, im Mr bright side" . Should be alternative capital and small letters. There's no resolution, just that I will walk away with this pain in me. It will never go away, just change and grow with my broken heart. It will be a piece of me forever. There. Thats why you're wrong 😂😂😂😂jk man I enjoyed your video. He for sure made nice choices.
