Covers of stuff like this are far too rare. Awesome!

[@MetalRodent]

Yeah it's unfortunate how rare Western song covers are from 'EN' vtubers, let alone rock/metal songs

[@Kottery]

@@MetalRodent >EN vtuber >Look inside >It's all Japanese everytime...

[@dylannix4289]

We gotta thank KZbin’s schizophrenic application of copyright laws for that Many corpos saw Hololive’s copyright debacle a few years ago and wanted none of that

[@tysonfontanez]

Getting permissions to do covers of songs in English is much harder and more expensive

[@ninz_0]

dont need perms to cover, only to monetize the cover. @@tysonfontanez

[@obkatiekat]

ROCA THE GOATTTTTTTT!!! Amazing cover bb xoxoox

[@superjr64loganrodriguez44]

Wtf is you doing here?

[@superjr64loganrodriguez44]

Get out before I do something sinister than metal

[@AkihikoXPrince]

yoooo you reacted to this incredible cover? @obkatiekat? mustve missed the stream

[@dr.doomcy4612]

Collab when

[@megiddox]

Roca sure as hell isn't "like the others" and certainly is no "Pretender". She's a bonafide vocal rock star for sure

[@skullcolectolector]

Indeed!! She has the rock in her veins!!

[@jax6943]

It takes guts to cover a song as beloved as The Pretender, considering how hard it can be. But you absolutely knocked it out of the park Roxy! You went above and beyond with it and made it your own

[@AndreaRebek]

woah are you kidding me?

[@jeremiii6523]

She ain't pretending, man

[@10032_dropout]

woah woah woah it's rizzzooossa

[@paulsd9255]

First exposure to Roca Rourin here and my god it’s a breath of fresh air hearing an English Rock cover out of an ENVtuber for once. As a guy whose only Eastern exposure is to vtubers, this is a surprise, and it’s an awesome cover of something right in my childhood too (GH3 DLC)

[@GTSW1FT]

Considering she sang highway to hell on her debut. A banger of a cover like this was going to happen.

[@ThomasPrime15]

You absolutely killed it with this cover Roca! This was fire!🔥This was such a fun and fitting way to end an amazing donothon. Congrats on such an epic sounding cover!

[@ZephyriannaCh]

Absolutely ADORE that distortion in your voice!! Thank you for covering this classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-kun2147]

Yoooo I listen to your metal covers on spotify ❤❤ Love to see you here appreciating peak as well

[@InVerSemusic93]

:3

[@deaks25]

I'm always brought back to Roca's debut when she absolutely stunned everyone with her voice. Still happens every time. Absolutely amazing voice.

[@princessravendiamond4288]

This makes me really want to hear Roca sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It'd be a great way to show off so much of the beautiful texture of her rock style vocal tone

[@Swamp_Fox_]

She covered this in her 90s karaoke!

[@snobaste]

I'm so glad that-even after being hesitant about this-you still put it out! Dave Grohl's voice is incredibly versatile and definitely a tough one to beat, but yours was absolutely up for the task It's actually insane how you can fit your voice into any genre and make it sound so natural. That perfect growl at the end was just the cherry on top of an amazing cover

[@josepablo011986]

Dave will be proud, i'm sure of that!

[@sakuraankoku]

Roca indeed is not like the others, and I love it

[@xieow_]

It turned out so stunning! I'm so proud of how it turned out, thank you Roca and the team for giving me the opportunity to work on this project.

[@ErimosAster]

This is my introduction to Roxy. Couldn't ask for a better introduction to someone. Not only is this song not covered nearly enough, but you did it in your own style rather than trying to mimick the original. That alone deserves major respect. Looking forward to seeing more like this.

[@MiiMooest]

oh my GOD Roxy. I started shaking seeing the cover count down, this is one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time and you're one of the greatest vtubing singers I've ever heard so I knew it'd be amazing. and you KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK HOME RUN!! not many people can match the power dave has in his voice but you put yourself up to the task and went NUTS seriously. and you said you were unsure about the scream at the end? I got chills. amazing work!

[@nanooooooooooo]

This was INCREDIBLE! Way above my expectations that were already sky high! Thank you so, so, so much for doing this amazing song justice!

[@MattEww94]

Will never get tired of hearing that distortion in your voice. The outro? Perfection. Absolutely nailed the same type of energy Dave had in the original but still made it your own.

[@salokinnoraa]

THIS COVER WAS FKING AMAZING ROXY! So proud of you for all that you've accomplished! We have a hell of a year in front of us! ROCA LOVE!

[@GoGoOtaku]

We should call her Raspberry given how sweet her raspy voice is

[@saint-juste]

I never thought I'd get chills from a Foo Fighters song, but here I am.

[@DreamChasersInc]

For some reason, the algorithm decided I needed to hear this In this case, the algorithm was correct. About the only thing that could improve this is hearing this live, with real instruments bringing out the best in her performance Now to wait to see the cover that will bring out THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST in her

[@7shinta7]

Seeing this girl perform live with a real band is something that needs to happen. She's too good to be limited by a screen.

[@kaeroseon]

@@7shinta7 unfortunately under this identity, shes only limited to speakers and screens, but at least they got more singers to hopefully pair beside her.

[@7shinta7]

@@kaeroseon Speakers and screens is not really a problem in my book. One way could be to perform IRL but with her appearance obscured. Just look how Ado does live concerts without showing her face. And live gigs with her avatar are also possible. I'm fully aware that Idol is by no means a big company like for example Cover. But there surely is a way to project her on a stage (if it's only 2D screen, so be it) and have her perform even in a small venue - preferably with a real band.

[@kaeroseon]

@@7shinta7 I mean they are doing that at OffKai this year. But I really want her to just be in person, and fully interacting with the crowd. She has that star presence for sure.

[@7shinta7]

@kaeroseon Understandable. Yeah, for that you'd probably have to look into cursed knowledge and check if she does performances in another form (like Calli as DDK). I'll stick to her as Roxy for now as I have no interest to research her irl.

[@AlcachofaQ]

I keep coming back to it, that ending has no right going so hard HOLY

[@christiaan12321]

Now that's a hell of a way to start the year. Love finally seeing a cover of my kind of music

[@jaimeblair1694]

I never thought listening to covers of vocaloid songs would end up leading me back to my favorite song by my favorite band, but here we are. I dunno who you are, but I really appreciate what you're doing. Actually being able to understand the lyrics is always a plus, and this song in particular has stuck with me ever since I first heard it in 2007. You absolutely killed it, ma'am. That was fucking incredible. Dave would be proud.

[@boomshockalocka]

turns out, I still absolutely love and live for this cover.

[@ManiX207]

the range of her voice like hearing this right after ghost is just mindblowing xD

[@DeepFriedScream]

Foo Fighters is one of my favorite bands. They were the first band I 'really' got into, and Pretender is one of their tops. I don't think I've ever seen a Foo Fighter cover in the Vtuber scene. This is awesome!

[@RasenCore]

This is probably my favourite The Pretender cover I've heard. Your voice fits so well!

[@Tang-qi6zw]

Man, this was hidden from my feed too long. Roca’s voice kills it for rock! I love that rasp! She’s really great!

[@AkamiChiyoCh]

BROOOOOOOOOOOO ROCA I LOVE YOU ;____; IT'S SO GOOD

[@rakusho1691]

Not often I get the shivers when someone sings, but dang, this is a great cover.

[@imprudentdev1503]

This is one of the best cover songs I've ever heard, you captured the feel of the original piece so well

[@tylerensminger]

It was pretty darn good. Dave Grohl himself might like it if he ever sees it

[@7shinta7]

He's a super chill and awesome dude - he'd surely love Rocas voice and power. I just don't know if he knows what VTubers are... 😅

[@Zedelicous]

rarely see any vtubers that does rock covers and by far this is one of the best i've heard! absolute banger of a song

[@Shockz0rz]

A bit late commenting, but this cover was how I discovered you, Roca. And it really is incredible. I've listened to it so many times that the original doesn't sound quite right without your voice anymore. After this, Backlight, Roki, and Ghost (not to mention all of your karaokes), I can't wait to see what you've got in store next!

[@Aeonbarr]

Welp, literally never seen your stuff before but you've earned a fan today

[@Everwolf8]

OMG the texture in your voice and power behind it are awesome. I was surprised even more than I already was at the end. You've gained another subscriber ❤️ you did this song justice and thanks for the chills. Rock on!

[@DyxoXinoro]

I have no clue who this vtuber is but this cover is fire. Not only is there just the right blend of pain and anger in her voice, but shifting the focus instrument to the drums is a bold choice.

[@esfunkytown9926]

It's rare I've yet to see a vtuber cover a foo fighters song. I've been a fan of them since 2011. You rocked this cover you got a subscription right here!!

[@callumboyou]

that is the most metal thing I've heard so far this year, absolutely love it to bits, had to listen to it twice in a row just to appreciate the level of rock in this cover. you did an insanely awesome job, I hope you do more rock covers in the future because you clearly have talent. love you Roca.

[@JL-uu1id]

This keeps coming up in my feed and I have yet to skip it. You nailed it

[@ArchiveAnonMLP]

Absolutely incredible singing, and that growl at the end... WOW. Seriously, that blew me away. It honestly scares me thinking just how good you'll be 6 months, a year... 5 years from now. You've got so much talent already and yet it really does feel like you're just starting to tap in to it.

[@TheGarretThief]

As soon, as vocal starts, my finger just hit subscribe. As soon, as vocal splitting starts, I hit the bell. As soon, as chorus starts, I realized what I gonna listen for next few days at least. Astonishing performance, stay sane, Roca!

[@mooxart64]

Best cover interpreted by a female artist 110%

[@riotgnight1394]

Whoa, that was awesome! I never expected to hear a VTuber do a Foo Fighters song, but I'm really glad Roca did! She really nailed it!

[@7shinta7]

Congratulations on 300k, Roxy! 🤩🔥🔥🔥 Well deserved for this amazing cover!

[@impost0r]

TSKR. This is amazing. And that growl at the end.... damn. You did amazing, Roca!

[@Patatman44]

That growl actualy gave me chills

[@MrZilvis78]

you killed this, I actually met Dave once briefly shortly after this song came out,I'm sure he'd love this cover

[@ohichan_]

I love how Roca always keep nailing everything she sings, like this cover for example, Thank you for this absolute fire cover🔥🔥🔥

[@sobieckil07]

I'm here straight from YT recommendations. Never heard about this particular VTuber. But this cover earned her a new subscriber. Rock on!

[@LoneWindtheWolf]

that was an AMAZING cover. also, that scream at the end. that was so... *chef's kiss* perfect. i really love your rocking singing voice and your based music tastes, and when you put them together we get a cover that is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! it surpasses even your Backlight cover, which i thought it was going to be impossible, but my Maou-Oshi proved me wrong. congrats on both the cover and the Rocathon. you did AMAZING at both! now go rest, you deserve a long nap after all that hard work. Love you Roxy!💜🖤

[@K_Chaotic]

I just like lyrics all in front of me: Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend Keep you in the dark And so it all began Send in your skeletons Sing as their bones go marching in, again The need you buried deep The secrets that you keep are ever ready Are you ready? I'm finished making sense Done pleading ignorance That whole defense Spinning infinity, boy The wheel is spinning me It's never-ending, never-ending Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? In time our soul untold I'm just another soul for sale, oh well The page is out of print We are not permanent We're temporary, temporary Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? I'm the voice inside your head You refuse to hear Yeah, I'm the face that you have to face Mirrored in your stare I'm what's left, I'm what's right I'm the enemy I'm the hand that will take you down Bring you to your knees So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all pretend) You're the pretender (who dares) What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all pretend) You're the pretender (who dares) What if I say I will never surrender? So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?

[@hiphipfrey]

every one of your covers just rocks me to the core, the way you meld your voice to work for anything is INCREDIBLE!!

[@goukenslay7555]

probably my favourite foo fighters song and you smashed it out of the park with this cover

[@theheretic6398]

Someone shared this on Discord. THIS IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD!!! Awesome Job Roca keep it up!

[@MiketheRanger]

This is an absolutely incredible cover of one of my favorite bands. You are so incredibly talented, and I simply cannot wait for your EP to come out!

[@megiddox]

200k views, congrats Roca! I know I'm coming back at least a couple times a day to listen to it again

[@Merengil]

Thank you so much

[@Piprup]

I already knew you're the best VTuber singer I've ever seen, that's not new. But you are slowly becoming my favorite female singer PERIOD. Your singing is simply flawless. I seriously need you to make original songs so that I can reference you to people when they ask me who my favorite singers are (not that I can't rn already, but some people don't appreciate covers). But regardless, congratulations Roxy. You've only been here for 6 months but you're already an irreplaceable part of this community 💜

[@Shoruuu]

truly one of thee greatest sounding voices to grace the rock genre in a long time IMHO :,)

[@PantsuElemental]

Her voice is incredible.

[@TGSagitar]

Bless the gym Gods for randomly throwing me at this song and finding a new vtuber to watch T^T

[@desertpunkism253]

KZbin recommended something incredible to me today in the form of an awesome cover of one of my favorite bands!

[@yumiina__]

Rocaaa, you absolutely blow our mind!! THIS IS A BANGER TO START 2024!!

[@gamedebo00]

That was an amazing cover Roca! We are all so proud of you!

[@SpectrumMD21]

Still one of the best things to come out of V-Tubing this year, and also arguably one of the best songs in rock regardless. Take notes, American rock radio. This is how you find a gem.

[@albe8479]

damn that is one fine rock female voice. GJ

[@7shinta7]

This is so freaking amazing. You didn't just cover this song, you made it your own. I loved the original since back in the day and your cover fully did it justice. You did an amazing job. And the artwork in the MV is great, too. Wonderful design and blessed Roca tummy.

[@Advent10II7]

This was the coolest way to usher in the new year, thanks for causing my soul to ascend with your powerful voice, Roca!

[@lucynakatharinaosbahr4096]

What an amazing voice. I just discovered you and I sure as hell will listen to more covers!

[@benitodoberman403]

Now this is quality content that brings me back into the rabbit hole

[@7shinta7]

Congrats for the 100k views, Roxy. It's so well deserved. This cover is amazing!

[@Sade4848]

you did amazing Roca!! im so happy you were able to hit all your goals in the end, I am super excited to see more from you, you'll have my support from now until forever!! 🖤💜🖤💜

[@freddymcfred17]

Dang, I just found my way here by accident but your voice is awesome. I gotta check out some of your other covers.

[@BraeburnTheBeef]

MAN I CRAVE For Vtubers doing covers of this genre. Rocas actually the first whom i've seen do thus far after getting recommended by it!

[@Cerbamofo]

we can tell you put everything into this big dave is surely happy

[@shr00mkins]

Woah. すごいよ。That cover was most enjoyable! I know you mentioned that you were self conscious of the strained/screamy vocals, however it turned out quite nicely. Keep it coming Roca. I cannot wait for the next cover and the first original song!

[@TheGrammaticus]

this cover went straight into my playlist, god damn it's so good!! your voice in this is *SO GOOD*!

[@AndreaRebek]

congrats for getting 100k, i hope this is just a little step and you will get way more and bigger achivement in the future

[@itsjustgale91]

Best Foo Fighters cover I've heard in idk how long! You murdered this one, Roxy!!

[@Cidrila]

Oh man I'm glad the algorithm took me here, instantly subscribed! Insanely good cover, capticating voice!

[@greenspeen1123]

Congrats to you Roca you've done an amazing job. Not just with the cover but making all of our days better.

[@strwberylemonade]

OH-KAY WOW i did not expect someone to knock this song out the park so well, earned my sub and i gotta follow along now- you are INCREDIBLE

[@just_noir_ss]

Congratulations for the 100k views, this cover became one of my favorites

[@johnmurphy7108]

Alright, first time hearing you, already subsribed, not to often you hear someone in this community doing something this legendary, super bold, and its a good cover too well done

[@mintquaso]

This was amazing Roca... Right at the end of that amazing rollercoaster of emotions that was your donothon too... I know you will achieve great things and I want to be there to see it all! Roca, you are already my star and I hope you get to be it for a long time!

[@Foriegntemple2]

I loved this cover Roca. You have an astounding voice and know how to use it, which shows in each song you sing. Congrats on the release and your accomplishments. Keep having fun!

[@Ananda_The_Destroyer]

I'm going to have this on loop all day! IT'S SO GOOD! Thank you so much Roca!

[@steve6888]

vtuber vocal covers are slowly creeping up on my recommendation and I am very happy about it

[@GlitchInTheSystem00]

What a way to start off the year! I'm happy for you Rocky!

[@DaPlebian]

Catching this while at work and this is amazing! Good work Roxy

[@mikalegault9012]

It's things like these that make me happy to be alive. Thank you Roca for the awesome cover!

This cover left me absolutely speechless. Well done Roca! I hope we get to see more rockin' and rollin' covers this year!

[@zanekudo8677]

Congratulations on your Cover reaching over 100k Roca!! 🎉🎉

[@_Phillter]

This was an AMAZING cover!!! Absolutely nailed it! That growly bit at the end was PERFECT! So much emotion!!!

[@ThatGuyYouKnow]

You went so damn hard on this!!!! The mix, art, and your voice were all incredible! This is why I will always you are one of the best singers in the EN Vtuber sphere! Incredible work Roca!!! I cant wait to see what else you have in store!

[@Fraktal869]

I didn't expect this to be how this sounded, dang you killed it. Before any of you say anything I just subscribed last week and hadn't heard her sing yet.

[@yreefboi]

This is absolutely incredible! I love that scream at the end. I can't wait for more, onwards through 2024 we go.

[@demonkingsparda]

This just popped up in my recommended and I'm glad it did, you killed it

[@KommissarAlexander]

Wait, wtf. This song just randomly showed up in my playlist while I was at work, I just listened and was like "Damn this girl is good". I come to look who it was and it's Roca. Amazing cover my dude.
