This is one cover that really did the original justice…

[@StaxReacts]

Factsss

[@Pcytripper]

One of the few. Metallica's cover of Whiskey in the Jar is awesome.

[@andrewdemarco3512]

Dont forget metallica's tirn the page, as its better tgan bog seger's original imo. Also disturbed's sound of silence blew thoe original out of the water ​@Pcytripper

[@landminespring28]

The (fake) tattoo is of legendary actress Liz Taylor. She and Michael were very close friends.

[@moe92870]

Darn, beat me to it. ha ha

[@The_True_]

This one is more than a cover... It's a whole azz tribute! They k¡lled it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@StaxReacts]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@The_True_]

P.S. Spice One covered this same song twice on "Street General" and "Street General 2"! Street General 2 was my favorite version, but both are dope.

[@JasonTurner-uk9rk]

Some many homages to Michael in this… Billy Jean, Thriller, the chimp, the MJ glove chair, the MJ lean and more… nice reaction to a great cover.👍

[@StaxReacts]

Well said!

[@debbyemerson3877]

​@@StaxReactsDefinitely! You should search a lisst of all the tributes to MJ in this 😊

[@amypowell6307]

Mj approved of this and gave his approval for it.

[@StaxReacts]

Wowwww that’s amazing

[@zzasboa]

Living Colour - the Cult of Personality, Top track.

[@StaxReacts]

Just added to the list

[@PML78]

Yes.. this is a track I can jam to even today. 🤘🏽😎

[@megdelaney3677]

YESSS!!!

[@ChristIan-cl7ik]

References. The lean, the face mask, the drummer's glove, the werewolf, the vent, the movie he was in when the car explodes, bubbles, the glove chair, the sidewalk lighting up, the childhood home, the steamy vent, the screen splitting when entering the bridge (musical term), the eyeball. I can't remember who the tattoo on the eyeball guy's back is but I'm pretty sure he went to the Grammys with Elizabeth Taylor. I'm sure I'm missing some but what do you expect, born in 87 so barely an 80s kid.

[@The_Zilli]

Not bad kid, not bad at all for a 90s kid. You weren't 80s, you're a year before my brother was born, completely different generation in general but a lot of overlaps, like MJ.

[@ChristIan-cl7ik]

@@The_Zilli yeah, I more identify as 90s because toddling around doesn't count, but my parents were super young and kind of cool so a lot of 70s/80s overlap that you speak of spilled over.

[@The_Zilli]

@@ChristIan-cl7ik 90s were good too, nothing wrong with the 90s. Last truly good decade before the world went to sh*t.

[@TanyaQueen182]

YES!!! best cover ever! MJ helped with direction of this video.

[@StaxReacts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Britton_Thompson]

MJ's "help with direction" means he told them what they were allowed to keep in the video, and what he wanted them to cut out

[@willha11]

Michael loved this cover, they got his approval to release it and he was a fan of it.

[@StaxReacts]

That’s amazing

[@mkmstillstackin]

Always a fan of this. Such a high-energy runback, with a few cheeky parody quirks. Has to rank high among the history of all covers!

[@StaxReacts]

🙌🙌‼️‼️

[@girs666]

Huge cover. Huge at the time and always

[@StaxReacts]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@willvr4]

MJ gave them approval to do this cover. There are so many references to the original music videos.

[@StaxReacts]

I haven’t seen the MJ official music video so I’ll check it out, I did see the references though as far as the dance moves and glove

[@prettybxy77]

The alleged story behind "Smooth Criminal," according to Jermaine Jackson in his book, is that Michael wrote the song based off of Richard Ramirez ("The Night-Stalker") and his serial killings throughout Los Angeles in the late 80s. He just never admitted it publicly in his lifetime.

[@StaxReacts]

🙌🙌🔥🙌

[@itszhc]

You'd have to watch about 2 decades worth of MJ videos and news clips to catch all the references in this homage to him.

[@StaxReacts]

Can’t waittt

[@tempsitch5632]

The three musicians are actually really talented. They got so much talent they have enough to be in another completely successful band with a different lead singer - Evanescence.

[@StaxReacts]

🙌🙌🙌

[@anthonyv6962]

How can every MJ reference be missed. I know the videos being referenced are old but it's MJ I was sure everybody was familiar with his videos. I guess he got less coverage as he collected accusations.

[@mikemath9508]

4:55 that's why he has the bald line, it's his signature move.

[@StaxReacts]

Gotcha

[@LiveAlcheme]

THIS!!! Def one of the best covers of all time. 🔥🔥🔥

[@StaxReacts]

‼️‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kdailey4315]

They recorded this version and never intended to release it. Someone got it to MJ and he loved it, blessed it and let them release it. When that happened they made the entire video an homage to MJ.

[@StaxReacts]

🤲🤲🔥🔥

[@coollakshman]

This band's music is like a shot of pure energy straight to the veins. At the moment I'm loving Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song, you should definitely react to it!

[@StaxReacts]

Rightttt

[@EvansGoneFishing]

fun fact for this vid the kid with the mask was sick with the flu or something and they still wanted him to dance so he put the mask on and filmed still feeling like crap and he got it done

[@infernalmachine8417]

That splice in hair is called a Nohawk

Annie is actually a CPR Doll, it's a long story but Qxir done a video on it.

[@BeboRulz]

Oh my gosh HOW have I never gotten that 😂

[@dbrice71]

The house that the kid is dancing in front of is The Jackson's childhood home. MJ helped in the making of this video, he even told them what kind of shoes to wear and the technical aspects of the lean.

[@StaxReacts]

Oh wow that’s amazing to know 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I feel like the reactor hadn't seen the original before reacting to this one

[@StaxReacts]

I haven’t seen it but I heard it, I knew it was a MJ cover I stated that in the intro brother

[@jasonregister4895]

Have you heard that? Michael Jackson song dirty Diana that's a great song and then there's one with his brother s. Can you feel it? They have more good songs but those are a couple that you hardly hear. I didn't know about the can you feel it song until I heard it on a commercial? Also, I'm a former wrestler. I didn't make the big time due to the fact that there's a couple things I wasn't good at that would have never let me exceed as far as I know to the top tier

[@StaxReacts]

I’ve heard dirty Diana but not can you feel it. Maybe I’ll check it out soon
