This needs a proper music video, one with an Evil Captain Sprocket leading an army of armed automatons and airship bombers into London. It would be epic.

[@willieearles3151]

Would this be the army defeated by Captain Gustave Foster? But then it would have to come from underground...

[@typicalvillageguard4452]

That would be amazing

[@notmethnx]

Urrr no?!

[@xHerzAusStahlx]

"Be Prepared", premiere announcement. Presentation/marketing level: gods.

[@curtishoffmann6956]

Ok people, you've been warned. You have plenty of time to prepare. Fuzzy slippers, warm robe, a mug of hot cocoa topped with fresh whipped cream, and a large bowl of hot, buttered popcorn.

[@theeternalguardian4185]

Oh dear lord,I can't believe I'm going to see this:My favourite steampunk band doing a cover of the all time ultimate villain song !And the truth is that I think that the whole mood can make it look amazing in a steampunk style.God ,it's going to be legendary

[@boomstickmick5652]

This and Hellfire from Hunchback are my favorite Disney villain songs. Johnny does an amazing evil Jim Cummings impression, so I'm really looking forward to hearing him add his own special flair to the song.

[@davelister2]

Johnathan Young's treatment of Hellfire is as good as the original, if not better

[@caitlinomalley80]

The original song was a combination of Jeremy Irons and Jim Cummings though. But this is an amazing cover.

[@janoahj642]

I've gotten into a habit of listening to songs and thinking,"We need a Cog is Dead version of this." I'll literally sit there and think about how it'll sound, and be like, "he should totally do a cover of this." This song included, lol!

[@vaultkid5641]

This is one of the few fan versions of classic Disney songs that is actually good maybe even better then the original.

[@fredbloggs7131]

I think you need to do an album of bad guy songs, you really have the voice for it.

[@kitirena_koneko]

Okay, not bad. Now let's hear you do "Everybody Wants to Be A Cat" from The Aristocats, nyao.

[@willieearles3151]

That would be pretty cool...

[@MrAcerulez]

This is probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard. This is one of my favorite villain songs and nobody gets it right but you guys did it justice.

[@sodorflubbs5000]

That was amazing. You reminded me of Jeremy Irons singing that. Well done.

[@boomstickmick5652]

Watched, liked, and, most of all, loved! You did *not* disappoint, friend. Adding this little gem to my treasure trove on spotify right now. The steampunk community wouldn't be what it is today without you.

[@electrobob992]

Now if the liveaction remake had used that song... THIS cover would do it justice!! "He doesn't need to VOICE scar, but his singing voice could work" *Heck this worked from Christopher Lloyd's voiced Character Rasputin*

[@user-ge4tq7gn7b]

Awesome! Your Hallelujah cover made me buy a guitar and start studying at the age of 37 🤟

[@rodrigocoockiemonster4460]

Now this is some awesome level surprise ! And somewhat close to my birthday, so I'll take it as so.

[@MegaGermanShepherds]

So awesome! Wish there was an evil laugh at the end! This is an all time favorite from a movie I kept watching when I was a kid on repeat!

[@captainfry245]

No. Way. I love this song.

[@mitchellgoodyear1111]

Best cover of this song I've ever heard, well done

[@justynajasonek5644]

Am I supposed to be honest? This is a masterpiece! Scar and Hades are my favourite Disney villains and this song is one of the greatest. This cover is awesome and I can't stop listening to it. Great job!

[@ermakiross7994]

Это просто прекрасно, люблю мультфильм Король Лев с самого детства, а песню Шрама особенно

[@laserdeer6694]

Неистово плюсую. Удалось привнести значительную самость, не утратив шрамовского мрачного шарма.

[@Toxic_Moof]

deserves more views this sounds way more badass then the remake and the og i love it

[@mrerp11]

This has got to be the best cover yet

[@walterwhite1]

Damn he has a great deep voice

[@curtishoffmann6956]

John, you need to find out what talent agency Disney uses for music arrangement, and start sending them demo tapes. If it worked with Danny Elfman and The Simpsons...

[@TheGreatMondello]

That was awesome! Be Prepared is a favorite of mine, and you covered it perfectly!

[@Dislike_and_Unsubscribe]

I love this. This may actually be better than the original, just from the extra edge given by the heavy metal and the gravelly voice of the singer.

[@justadudeontheinternet2721]

Bro I'm gonna audition for Scar for the Lion King Musical tomorrow, way to hype me up

[@Astlay]

An unexpected and still weirdly perfect cover. Amazing!

[@PinnacleOfDecadence]

You are such an amazing talent. I hope you feel valued and appreciated for all the wonderful things you do.

[@bigdom9123]

Cant wait, you guys do great covers!

[@brycebrady007]

While I do love this cover, the ultimate villain song would be Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame....please!

[@garlicbreath4690]

aaaaaa it's so good! Keep it up man!

[@garlicbreath4690]

Update: This is my new favorite song :D

[@FA_Horus]

If Star Wars was a musical this would be the song for Palpatine turning Anakin to the dark side.

[@crcoghill]

Ooooh~ i love hearing their covers.

[@IamSarus]

Well since you did this villain song... is it possible you could do a rendition of In The Dark of the Night from the cartoon Anastasia?

[@gracenewsom4694]

YES PLEASE!

My favorite song from one of my favorite Bands 😍😍😍😍🖤❤ I love it

[@_-S.C-_]

You`re only second rate from Aladdin 2 would be epic as well!! This is amazing :D

[@NeruVoc]

Great cover ! It's funny, 2 days ago, the french rock band Magoyond released a cover from the same song in french version ("Soyez prêts").

[@rueip8416]

I’ve started to realize how much the villain in the story I’m writing relates to this song

[@steam_smith1436]

Perfect💎💎💎

[@SilverEyesValentino]

Hearing this and your version of "Bad Guy" really makes me want to hear you guys take on "When You're Evil" by Voltaire.

[@sarahmeacheam7517]

So will there a whole album of villain songs?

[@sierranevadahiker4440]

Wow, amazing cover! I actually like it better than the original. I'd also love to hear a cover of one of the songs from Futurama.

This is gonna be amazing :D and its on my birthday too :D :D :D

[@boomstickmick5652]

Happy birthday. My advice, pretend he decided to do this just for you, and act like he's addressing you directly whenever he looks at the camera... Just ignore the fact that the song is about committing egregious acts of pedocide and regicide and you'll be goochy 👌

[@Nordic_Misiara]

​@@boomstickmick5652 Thank you so much

[@ВиноградФиолетовый2008]

Wow, its cool

[@DerpityDerpz1]

This song suits them extremely well

[@ChronomonHM]

How about a cover of "My Lullaby" from Lion King 2?

[@tommyfox854]

I can see a story among three of your covers; a story fallowing a supervillain on the rise (that I like to call) of Baron Steel Steam. Starting off the story with him a few years into his criminal career: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYCugZSXdr2VrK8 than seeing him as a force to recon with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3vZo4iKqdOgf68 and now raising and army goons to do villainous things: **this video** I wonder where it'll go next; keep up the amazing work fellas! =)
