Toto - Africa Cover Leo Moracchioli feat. Rabea & Hannah | Reaction

[@george217]

Leo Morachioli is a musical genius. Try his version of "Sultans of Swing"...

[@HARRi81_UK]

Which is exceptionally well done. One of his best.

[@reallymysterious4520]

YES !!!!

[@keithvincenttucker9923]

Definitely this one

[@mkroon2331]

Or dance monkey dance!

[@ronparsons8786]

Leo is the bomb

[@christophersimpson9245]

Leo`s cover of Adele`s "Hello" is totally awesome and takes the song to a whole higher level, give it a try.

[@MegaKat]

I was going to suggest this, too! My husband and I are total metalheads, but he does NOT like pop at all, whereas I like some stuff. He LOVED the Adele covers and acknowledged that they're lyrically very good... but only after hearing them as metal lol

[@christophersimpson9245]

@@MegaKat Being a total metal/rock/blues fan myself, I wouldn`t normally bother with the likes of Adele, but I think Leo is pure genius and love his covers.

[@mikegoin6023]

Adele hates Leo's cover which makes me like it even more.

[@rickybranch4547]

Leo is awesome! He's done over 400 covers, and my personal favorite is a collaboration with Violet Orlandi doing a metal cover of Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart".

[@arqHHM]

Yes, it's a must see. It doesn't get much better than Leo and Queen Violet!

[@gregsteele806]

The man even turned "Baby Shark" into a ripping metal cover. He's a genius.

[@justinatest9456]

This guy is very worthy of more attention, check out his cover of Dance Monkey, it's always good vibes with him.

[@dark.cheshire.1065]

YES! ABSOLUTELY check out his cover of Dance Monkey. Better than the original in my opinion. :)

[@bassnote_1]

Check out Leo (Frog Leap) version of Dance Monkey. Couldn't stand that song until Leo covered it (along with Rabea and Hannah). It seriously ROCKS

[@illstreamthat]

One thing with Frog Leap is you need to stay for the outro, Leo is a genius when it comes to the outro.

[@frankhermansen243]

Dammn just started.....skipping a Leo Outro is a sin....The Africa Outro, even Worse. Edit ahh he saw it

[@JeremiahNunn]

all his stuff is great, but this outro is such a banger

[@reallymysterious4520]

He also does amazing covers of Adele's Hello and Dire Straits Sultans of Swing

[@johnbuck3374]

Go down the rabbit hole. Leo is usually alone. He plays the instruments and then layers them. He's done everything from Jolene, WAP, House if the rising sun,etc.

[@chrisw3421]

He plays all the instruments... so very impressive..and fun!

[@fredbarnes2600]

He has literally HUNDREDS of covers, generally releasing one every week. He's a genius musician and arranger who can play most instruments. Hannah and Raves are also extremely talented which is why they're part of the touring Frog Leap Band. And yes I love him because he's almost always funny, and he enjoys what he does so damn much. Great reaction!( Check out his cover of Roxette's Listen to Your Heart ft Violet Orlandi or What is Love ft Priscila Serrano. Or pretty much most anything, 99 percent of it's great)

[@amkalaska]

There is so much great content from Leo. I personally like his Feel Good Inc cover

[@hammer159]

His Sultan’s cover is super rad too

[@GreenJeepAdventures]

This song gets me pumped up, and brings a smile to my face. Its been a few years since it came out, but this is the one that drew me into his work. Just an insane amount of creative output by him.

[@ericmahr9445]

His album with kids songs like wheels on the bus is fantastic and fun!

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

I had that on in the car, and just rocking out to the muppet show theme song. I got this surprised double take by the guys in the car next to me when they suddenly recognized what the song was. Awesome album!

[@Shawn-rq4py]

My favorites of Leo’s are “Dance Monkey” (a must), “Sultans do Swing”, “Hello” then all the rest. There’s one he does with his daughter who is about 11 maybe called “Cover me in Sunshine”. They’re awesome together. He’s an awesome independent musician. From time to time he does colab’s w other KZbinrs. He does everything. Plays every instrument, puts the video together, edits it all, produces etc etc etc. He always has an original at the end where he does a lot of original work. They are also in a band together that tours all over. Their concerts are amazing and they’re all on his channel to watch. Plus you get to tag along w them on tour as they party in various places. He’s a great guy

[@dougoneill7266]

Welcome to Frog Leap. Leo is well worth checking out. It's cool that you showed Leo some love and played the outro

[@Scottmasonjr]

Leo is his own universe. One that needs to be explored. He covers all kinds of music, from every genre, every age, he brings classics back to love

[@erictrombley9088]

Leo is amazing

[@erictrombley9088]

His version of WAP is funny and takes all the bs out of it to an extent

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

The fact that you stuck around for the whole break down promoting all of the artists with a big smile on your face because you appreciated their talent got you a sub from me. Much love.

[@mckrackin5324]

This is a very deep rabbit hole. You're going to get a lot of great suggestions. Let me put "All the Things She Said" by Tatu on the pile. Leo killed it.

[@SIXX2772]

Im not a metal guy but I am a musician and I like it!!!....the guitarist has his own guitar channel for years

[@module79l28]

He's also a regular on Anderton's YT channel. In fact, he started as an employee there, if I'm not mistaken.

[@cathmorr89]

This is in my top 5 for cover songs on KZbin. The ending influenced that a lot.

[@vencenickey7109]

He does an absolutely wonderful cover of John Denver's Country Roads.

[@davebrown943]

I just found Leo a few weeks ago....he is FIRE!!

[@alisonmatheson7118]

This is a epic rabbit hole to go down. Frog Leap is epic. Lol they got q metal version of baby shark!

[@tosvus]

I wouldn't be surprised if you have seen the guy you thought looked familiar, in a guitar ad. His name is Rabea and he is pretty well known and does work with various companies to do demos/ads as well.

[@bigjay123]

LEO is a Electronics genius, he made a One String Bass out of a Hockey stick. Theres a video on YT. The first vid I saw was Cotton Eyed Joe.

[@56coupedeville]

Leo is amazing. And he drops a new song every friday.

[@samhain9283]

So many other reactors stop the video before the outro kicks in, so they miss out on it which is a damn shame. He has a few MJ covers too, all of which are outstanding. Thriller's video is imsane.

[@timothynelms2683]

Check out Leo's version of Hello, Sultan's of Swing, Dance Monkey, and Listen To Your Heart.

[@Jdwdogg]

Everything Leo touches is pure gold

[@BertonMelch]

T I play guitar in a band and you are absolutely right… if you’re not having fun than it’s not working.

[@drewcifers8thcircleofheck307]

One of my favorite things about Friday is checking out Leo's new cover. It's amazing that this guy pumps out a new cover every Friday (he missed once due to illness) and he's so creative.

[@ellesee7079]

I loved this, and to be honest, it's not something I would usually listen too, but you're right, it was his energy and sheer enjoyment kept me hooked till the end!

[@samuelengle3773]

Leo = the coolest 1st grade teacher EVER

[@SparkimusPrime]

Everything Leo is 🔥

[@josephseverino8123]

I loved the original song very much! When i first heard this variation i was blown away! Im glad your bringing 9 years back to the front. Cuz they deserve it!

[@wintermute740]

Leo is a GOD. His video outros are always as entertaining as the song he just covered. I *had* to put Leo's Covers into my playlist and let it go until it completed. I don't thing I skipped a single song.

[@TheSuperSnake313]

Yeah I've seen this, this is great. Dude is having so much fun and that girl has some beautiful pipes on her, love her voice 🤘🤘🤘

[@hotshotjcb3798]

Leo and Truls also did a fantastic jab on Maniac. Check it out.

[@jonathonkrueck4028]

I hardly use the bell notifications. But of those I do, Leo Morachioli is definitely one of them that I jump on as soon as I get notified.

[@conflictmagazine]

Leo rocks. He got me into songs I would have never listened to otherwise.

[@larryshaffer4741]

Africa was my gateway to Frogleap Studios and Leo back in 2017. Since then, I've bought over 2 dozen of his covers, and look forward to his weekly new offering.

[@majbrat]

So great. The advertising Outro is spectacular too 😀

[@markw.loughton6786]

Awesome cover song, Frog leap studios Cover songs are awesome 👌

[@yotaz1977]

Leo is awesome! so talented! so funny... he has a tons of covers... enjoy

[@joshbryant4629]

You can literally think of any random song and he's probably turned it into a metal cover. House of Pain Jump Around is my favorite cover that he's done.

[@MarlinDart]

Frog Leap has a lot of awesome covers. Leo is a very talented musician. They played at Wacken Music Festival in Germany a couple years ago.

[@mattn1093]

Leo has even made The Wheels On The Bus into a metal song. He is so talented it’s crazy.

[@donotthink]

thank you for doing the outro on this too!

[@TheTravelersTravels]

Great reaction! The outtro is the best shit ever! 🤘🤘

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Hugely entertaining! You AND the video! Subbed!

[@torstenjosephkartelmeyer4623]

I´m a long time follower of Leo... and any song I´ve heard covered from him.... he always respect the former artist...

[@Pixelologist]

This cover absolutely blows the original treatment away. And they're clearly having a great f*cking time making it!

[@divinedragons1986]

I was so hoping you would watch it to the end. Leo has a TON of cool content. Try sultans of sway cover with Mary Spender its awesome also.

[@rickyhubbard9261]

You need too check out more Leo this guy can play anything and funny at that. Satin swing is great too check out.

[@Dan-dk7sw]

Rabbit hole is open... Jump initiated... Good luck and happy trails! SO much to hear from this studio. I dont know where to start so ... just pick one and enjoy!

[@Ando2k10]

Leo's covers are so good that it's worth it to sub to his Patreon, just to be able to download his entire catalog. Definitely check out his covers of "Gin and Juice", "Hello", "Someone Like You", "Feel Good Inc", "Fatty Boom Boom"...so many others.

Pretty sharp cover. The girl is cute. I’ve always wondered what certain songs would sound like with a metal cover.

[@vass0922]

He covers a bit of every genre. WAP by cardiB if you're into that. Frozen song from the movie for kids. Gummy Bears theme song for TV theme songs, Sic from Slipknot... He takes a metal song and makes it acoustic but definitely still metal. K-Pop he does Boombayah.. everything

[@TurboWulfe]

One of my favs from Frog Leap. Great vid, keep up the great work 😎 🍻 🤘

[@insufferablethrashelitist9305]

Dude, check out the Adelle Hello cover. A surprisingly awesome metal song. Leo is talented AF!

[@satoricrush]

I keep saying and will keep saying. This is the best cover version of this song.

[@charlesfleming5904]

In my belief, they are among the GREATEST MUSICALLY TALENTED PERFORMERS IN THE WORLD I LOVE THEASE GUYS AND GIRLS

[@nmaloneyvf]

Leo is so awesome that he found a way to make Baby Shark metal I love his work!

[@G_Machine_Joe]

Glad you found Leo and his Frog Leap studios. You'll love the rest of his channel. 👍🏻

[@ortti8397]

Leo Moracchioli is one the G.O.A.T.S

[@ortti8397]

Oh, and i haven't hear/seen one bad cover from him/others who are featuring with Leo

[@citycobra5014]

Leo has made a ton of great metal covers. From "Africa" to "Eye of the tiger" and "listen to your heart" to "in the air tonight", and so on and so on. My favorite is still "Hello" from Adele. As far as i have read or heard he plays 7 different instruments! Leo is simply great and a lot of fun to watch. You should take a look at "Cover me with sunshine" which he did with his daughter...

[@scottst.hilaire5828]

I love that I played that outro.. Its almost better then the song it's self lol..

[@thomaswebster5060]

This is" tear-jerkingly" Beautiful... Was soo sure I would hate it... Paint me wrong....

[@grantgraham5201]

It's even funnier when U let it run a coupla secs n Hanna pops up...she's been laying there the whole time...great crew ..

[@joereazor6743]

I was hooked from the first song I heard on XM radio, Adele cover of "Hello"

[@demoninjadsm6369]

I live leo and his friends. awesome been subscribed to them from early days

[@kennethgodwin7769]

I am glad you are doing a Leo cover of it. I hope you do more Leo covers he is a very good heavy metal cover version artist.

[@GruniLP]

i can easily say 40+ Covers from him, tht are better than the original! Genius this guy!

[@DeterminedJellyfish]

Looking at this video with the smile of a knowing and proud parent Welcome my child to Frog Leap studios. This and Leo's cover of Gaga's Born this way are faves

[@louiscarpenter1934]

Unholy, house of the rising sun, leave me alone, In the army now. All excellent covers!!!!

[@tray22]

The outro in his covers are usually well worth listening to the end for. Icing on top of the rocky cake.

[@jasonstewart50]

I am so happy to see other people appreciate Leo and Frog Leap's work. These guys are fantastic!

[@Archimark1]

You gotta watch Sultans of Swing and Adele's Hello by Leo too, he's awesome!

[@bobvondurfel4525]

Oh, I am very familiar with frog leap studios. I love Hannah and Rabea. They have done several songs with Leo. This is my favorite frog leap studio song. I'm glad you dug it! I think you just earned "subscribe" from me.

[@reallymysterious4520]

That original song at the end was better than 99% of all metal songs I have ever heard

[@seanbarker4610]

Check out his version of W.A.P!

[@ialone7487]

One of Leo's best! Try Jolene, originally done by Dolly Parton. He kills it on that also! God bless brother!

[@aaronhersey8466]

I love Leo's covers. His cover of Country Road is fucking amazing! Check out that one too it's amazing.

[@danieloconnor1005]

Leo does a great metal version of Dire Straights' Sultans of Swing with special guest Mary Spender

[@robleffler6584]

Subscribing to see you fall into the Leo rabbit hole! It's a wonderful journey. Lots of good suggestions below! Just to give you some perspective.. Leo picks a song, deconstructs it, rewrites it as metal, records himself playing EVERY instrument AND vocals, mixes it, films and edits a video, then puts out a video on Friday.... Every Friday, every week, and has done so for like 5+ years..

[@loisr3970]

Ohh my lord Omg I love frog leap studios.....Amazing recording doin cover do it justice or not at all. LEO DOES AN AMAZING JOB.... THANK GOD YOU DID NOT MISS THE OUTTRO IT IS LIKE A SURPRISE AT THE END OF EACH VIDEO IT WAS A CUT ON ITS OWN......GOSH GOTTA CHECK OUT Blackbird... great reaction Cheers

[@roynix3068]

Yes Leo's covers are great All of them have caught my ear in one way or another so much so that I have went back to the original artist and check out there music and were that artist is coming from and you are right in saying that Rebea is a face that you have seen in an ad he just came out with a set of signature set of pick-ups for guitars about a year or so ago maybe two years at most and he also plays in the Frogleap band that Leo has formed up to take his covers on the road live so yes please by all means check out all there stuff

[@tylerward6723]

Leo is a master of putting his own touch on covers. He reminds me of how Weird Al did much the same throughout his career. He's a genius as well as he does all the edits, instruments and singing himself. A genius.

[@TheFleahost]

Dude is a beast with chops.

[@chelseahaley8350]

I just randomly came across this guy a few days ago, and I spend 4 1/2 hours watching all of his videos! It's like I was under a fkn spell or something!! 😆 Now I'm sucked into watching all of the reactions!! Got a sub from me! 🫶

[@erichendrickson4118]

Frog Leap is my absolutely favorite band. Leo is a one man wrecking crew on most songs, and they are amazing!

[@MajorStaticX]

I don't know why Leo isn't f***ing Famous.... Let's Help Him!!!

[@dafnichan]

Leo releases a new song cover every Friday. Everything he touches, he only makes it better!

[@coot1925]

There's no other way of putting this....that was fucking awesome. 😃✌️

[@Curveball]

Metal makes everything better.

[@bretmccleary6307]

Leo is awesome. You have to do more of his vids

[@Lurch685]

YESSSS I love this cover. It’s amazing!!

[@jindas4217]

Love his rendition of "Hello" by Adele, amongst others...
