Who knew Metallica & Journey would sound this good mashed up together? Rock on Wakko🤘🤘

[@1bigrowdy]

One song is in minor the other in major that's why it works so well

[@TrueBlue170]

The fact that the lead singer is *Wakko Warner* is insane. I knew this, of course; I don't say this out of shock, more out of being EXTREMELY impressed. The versatility and ability that Jess Harnell has to stretch and change his voice is nothing short of amazing.

[@michellebrennan8468]

I'm FN impressed, unsure can't stop looking at him and this clip l adore both bands but this covering them is fucking insane unreal fucken HECTIC CUNTZ!!!! OMG l love it do me Boyz pleaze!!!!!

[@zpbstudios9551]

I mainly know Jess as the voice of Crash Bandicoot from Tag Team Racing to On the Run.

[@roxannemoser]

Steve Perry took them to court because he thought they actually used his voice without permission

[@dishmanw]

Yeah, I heard about them "Professor of Rock". kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIG6iptqbs-Ki5I

[@weerwolfproductions]

@@roxannemoser Ah has that been confirmed now? I knew one of the bands from ReImaginator took them to court. Most ppl suspected it was Metallica.

Last year, my husband was on the verge of dying from cardiac failure. It was rounds and rounds of doctor's for 7 months straight. Whenever I was feeling down or defeated, I'd put this on and realize there was a light at the end of the tunnel. And there was; my husband is healthy now. This really gave me some hope when I thought there was none.

[@herveytorresoficial]

Awesome!!! Rock is with us! 😇🤘

[@jesarablack1661]

Spot on was the problem he got into, he got Sued by Metallica, and they Won. Despite proving that it was his (Jess Harnell) voice, the judge decided it would be "Misleading to the public" because he sounded so much like James Hetfield.

[@catserver8577]

Came here because of Professor of Rock's interview with the singer, I can see the merit of the lawsuit, but not the why. Kinda surprised by the who, too. Would have guessed the other party. Relax rock stars, imitation is like free promotion. If you're not gonna give the fans what they want, don't gripe when someone does. JMO. I've already bought your version a bunch of times in many formats, as have about a zillion other people. You've been compensated and recognized for your talent. Better to burn out than fade away, etc., etc., etc.
