What. a. fucking. VOICE!! Right from the get-go, that dude gave me chills, and that is NOT easy to do. I'm SUPER picky about vocalists, and this guy is just fucking SICK. Did he really do it in one long take???

[Syrayt]

I'm literally bought my first guitar after watching BECK.

[PoliBoneless]

I will never get tired of hearing this masterpiece. Beck is a very simple anime, but it touches many feelings, and I can feel the same when I hear your cover. You are awesome all of you guys. Keep rocking.

[mothersbasement]

That was fuckin powerful man. maybe my new favourite version of one of my all time favourite songs.

[miabennett]

I keep coming back to this, just for Seigfried. That man has an astonishing voice, I keep getting shivers all through the song, every time.

Frickin' nailed it.

[AnesBkdm]

LOL Wasn't expecting to find this song in this channel ever!

Good job!

[kuroshine]

RIP Osamu Kobayashi. This song came up and now my spirit hurts

[GarrettJPeters]

This turned out so good! :D Thanks again for having me!

[BrotherWells]

Speechless. Regarding Anime, I caught the bug a year or so ago, along with Manga, and at least for Anime, I have got a nice little collection of titles that seem to not have been heard or viewed before by others and Ill have to add the list here for everyone. This is something that is an absolute gem. Gave me chills while listening to it and all the passion, pain, sorrow in his voice, it did bring a tear to my eye. Absolutely magical! Thanks Glenn

[terrykawve]

Very talented bassist.
Well done, Glenn. You found one.

[baileychasteen]

Holy shit that vocalist is something else.

[adamr]

Wow that voice is fucking insane. The tone, the control, the feel, incredible..

[BooHeeee]

Full moon sways
Gently in the night of one fine day
On my way
Looking for a moment with my dear

Full moon waves
Slowly on the surface of the lake
You are there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

What a fool!
I don't know about tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah~

I was sure
'Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end

Old love affair
Floating like a bird resting her wings
You are there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

What a fool!
I don't know about tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah~

I was sure
'Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end


What a fool!
I don't know about tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah~

I was sure
'Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end

Full moon sways
Gently in the night of one fine day
You are there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

[DeeZeeGuitar]

This was so damn good!!! Great job Glenn and company!!!! I'm going on iTunes to buy this cover cuz there is maybe one other version on iTunes!

[SkraiMiahari]

I can't believe its been 2 years still can't get over Seigfried's voice what an absolute powerhouse

[morevar]

Its so sad how underrated Beck and its music is.

[Vanadeo]

Me:... Singers alright... Singers good.. Singers really good.. Singers fuckng awesome :O.

[antivorg]

Garett killed it, I appreciate it when I see an all round good metal solo that also manages to be lyrical and musically enhancing, and there's not a lot of that for some reason in metal, I feel its usually a couple of arpeggios followed by a dumb atonal shred.

[tangentwhisper]

And the internet was blown away. Beautifully covered guys! While you added a heavy element, it was very tastefully done, complementing the original song without being overbearing. And you really captured the emotion well!

Glad you retook this Glen, I actually didn't see the first video, but I watched your production video on re-shooting the cover, and this was a big improvement.

I can't give constructive criticism sadly because I'm not a sound engineer, so I'm too dumb to explain any fixer-uppers. But honestly, it sounds really really good!

Keep up the vids!

[aebs]

3 different types of basses this mustve been glenns ultimate nightmare lol
