METALHEAD REACTION to Denzel Curry cover of (Bulls On Parade)

BIG facts

[@Bassgod84]

These young rappers are into metal keep your eyes peeled for mainstream cross over

[@raulleon9169]

Chill the fuck out dude

[@Lexpionage]

GuitarlifeHD what life do you lead where you think that 1.rappers cant play instruments and 2. not playing an instrument means you cant make good music?

[@captaincrunch3124]

@GuitarlifeHD you cant tell me people like denzel arent already into metal. Rap is the closest to metal its ever been, who's to say there wont be hybrid styles in the future?

[@Bassgod84]

GuitarlifeHD dude if you look deeper you’ll see that a lot of these guys really like metal and maybe not just metal some are really into pop punk and emo and while that may not be what you’re talking about with metal but they have some serious influences outside of traditional rap. Which has caused a divide in rap itself. If you look at bands like polyphia they’re making metal/edm, if you look at fever333 they’re very clearly influenced by linking park and rage. And on the other side of the coin ghostmane is a rapper and also in a hardcore band. Lil Aaron is seriously pop punk over 808’s, Denzel is a real fan he learned how to scream. Even before XXX passed him and ski mask sampled slipknot. This crossover is real and genuine.

[@Bassgod84]

GuitarlifeHD so you get to decide what is real metal? Pantera is my favorite band but I’d be lying to you if I said I didn’t love emo bands and lots of other shit not just tradition metal, there a layers brother.

[@DudeGamerDudewhoplaysgame]

Denzel got a strong voice

[@Jmetal797]

He sure does

[@micxhv1]

Indeed

[@miathapapaya]

Itd be cool to see him develop a really nice growl for his own musical purposes someday

[@AdamerioPhD]

biggest difference between Denzel's and Rage's versions: Tom Morello

[@StuJo2]

Harts still killed it, though. I wanna see Tom's reaction to this video.

[@CORS_1ER]

Amen

[@jbliggidy123]

Morello is a true virtuoso, but this guitarist did his fucking thing

[@Basedmursenary]

Yeah but the guitarist still went OFF..

[@Raiden619gaming]

100%

[@elbruces]

I think the guitarist intentionally avoided replicating Morello's techniques exactly, partially because this cover is all about Denzel. Also why they replaced the solo with a rap flow. He made up for it by adding those blues licks at the end IMO.

[@K0sm1cKid]

The big difference he was observing is where the wah effect was in the effect chain I assume. I am not a hardware guy so I could be full of shit, I am more of an in the box guy because I don't like spending tons of money. Haha but if I was going to make the OG guitar tone I would place the wah/lowpass filter after the amp/cab or maybe after a tube screamer pedal (I say all three because all three of those could work depending on what your signal chain looks like. I use an amp/cab sim that bundles all of that jazz together. I then like dropping a tube screamer after that in the chain). For the Denzel version the wah is before the amplifier/cab/or tube screamer. It changes the color of the sound. Fun fact: that's also one of the ways dubstep folks get their heavy wobble sound is by placing a compressor/lowpass filter before the distortion in their FX chain. The more you know.

[@tendulkarification]

@@K0sm1cKid I believe the guitarist was using a electro harmonix pog or an octaver for those parts instead of a traditional wah he might have used an auto wah

[@ombre_blanco1725]

He didn’t have the wah pedal so he couldn’t do Toms solo

[@arm1n117]

Very on point sir

[@Ambiggy]

the verse that he added in was originally from his song “sirens” featuring J.I.D. you should check it out mane:)

[@templarexemplar35]

Yeah, the entire ta13oo album is insane

[@AlfredSoul]

I love him just moshing on his own when he's not singing.

[@Jmetal797]

Yeah he was definitely feeling it..

[@aerahtv0000]

can you not move under this flow/rhytm? I can't. Denzel can't. Easy. :)

[@firmanimad]

"But that's okay, this could turn out good." Famous last words.

[@CiaoKZ]

Denzel fucking killed it! He really didn't have to put as much effort in as he did, but I guess when you have enough love for the craft it just happens.

[@Jmetal797]

He did kill it big time

[@nildmalindi6054]

A bit of vocal coaching to teach him breathing techniques so he doesn't hurt his vocal cords and we might have the next Zach de la Rocha on our hands people! Bravo Denzel!

[@orte94]

We already have, it's called Jason Butler and sings in The Fever 333, the new RATM

[@skullsouljah2836]

Hell yeah 🔥 Denzel is very talented artist

[@Jmetal797]

He is 🤘

[@csalvo3653]

Honestly Rage against the machine can still do the same in their live performances. Zack has an unique voice and no one can come close to that. I do agree that Denzel had the same anger in him, but for ME rage is better. Bulls on parade was never really metal, but hip-hop. Their first album in my opinion is the BEST album EVER. Just listen to it once and you'll listen to it twice then 3 times and so on. Sorry for bad English

[@patrickc.mcevoy2065]

Fuck yeah, he is..im so glad he covered ratm , i had never even heard of him b4 bulls..

[@patrickc.mcevoy2065]

@@csalvo3653 you aint wrong bro..i love ratm too, i disagree that its only hiphop and not metal...ratm is obviously a hybrid, tom, zach,brad n tim invented a new genre for their style, and labeling them 100% hiphop is oversimplifying that which is clearly a new kind of rock/rap/pop...neometal, or raprock work fine 4me...just my 2c. Pax✌.😎

[@metosoreru]

This is actually one of my favorite covers ever. The way Denzel screams “bulls on parade” gives me CHILLS

[@almostideal1306]

I always felt that rap and metal work perfectly together, they are both angry and political genres that don't hold back on their message.

[@Jmetal797]

Very true.. definitely a perfect blend

[@emmagee1990]

I LOVE watching metal fans reactions to this version! Being an OG Rage fan myself, so great to see so many metal fans get into Denzel. He absolutely nailed it and no one can deny that. Respect to you for being honest and unbiased in your opinion

[@mattnats4218]

Imagine if zillakami does a cover of another metal band.

[@awsomeunicorn5950]

I could see zilla doing a White/Rob Zombie song.

[@RK1916_]

it’d most likely be a slipknot song or a song from a punk band but he would honestly kill it he has the voice, the energy, and he used to b in a punk band so he has experience

[@skullsouljah2836]

Zillakami was into punk, emo and hardcore music before he was into rap. He grew up listening to Bad Brains and Gorilla biscuits.

[@RK1916_]

Sentirion RVIDXR but he also grew up listening to korn and slipknot, which is metal/nu metal

I love how in the bridge, the guitar player doesn't even attempt Tom morello scratching solo, instead the band and denzal just make it their own and add their own bridge, but still being respectful to the original. This is awesome.

[@stefanieiversen8847]

After watching this I checked out more Denzel Curry. He’s done System of a Down in concert. He’s a total metal head at heart. Nobody can imitate Tom Morello man.

[@apatternedhorizon]

Plus the breath control for that last verse he subbed in into the chorus, or whatever it is considered, is ridiculous. Not surprising for a rapper but still with that kind of singing its impressive. Always liked Denzel.

[@hiroprotagonitis]

bruh that guitarist is Harts, cosigned by Prince himself. He's a one-man show and had been covering hendrix a bunch. He's playing all that on a Squier affinity student guitar!

[@andjayehsgaeswy]

The radio show he performed this on is an Australian brand called Triple J ! The segment is called Like A Version, so they select a song + put their own spin on it - hence him adding his own lyrics in it

[@xecidex]

Love the zoom ins loool makes me laugh and really captures experiences
