This song was born to be a metal cover!

[SimpleTek]

What most people don't realize is in the original Michael Jackson Version the Guitar is played by the greatest axe man of all history, Eddie Van Halen. The guitar is what made this song special - and subconsciously drew people in that couldn't believe they were liking MJ. I've heard dozens of remakes to this song, none got close to the guitar. This is the best cover I've ever heard of this song. No one plays like Eddy, no one, but this is a great cover!

I have no idea if MJ intended it, but Beat It is almost perfect for metal covers. It's like the song was written to be heard this way.

The king of pop covered by the king of metal = AMAZING !

[aidanc]

Anyone else amazed at how Leo’s studio has grown into a massive space of musical greatness?

[Spaethon]

The extra thrown in at 2:57 - 3:20 was so goddamn sick!!!

[incheeldedo]

dude i have seen all your videos in 1 day literally you rock your covers are awesom and unique

[IIISWILIII]

That double bass hit in the main chorus is too perfect

[MonarchsOfBrotherhood]

Living proof that Metal makes everything much more fun.

[salty-jake]

Leo is on a whole nother level. He was told to set the bar and replied I am the bar.

[rockahorse]

"Leo what instrument do you play?" "yes."

[TeejtheDeej]

I am Zimbabwean (from Southern Africa)... probably the furthest away from Metal, Rock or any "hard" genres of music but damn dude I cant stop listening to this stuff. I loved the songs as they were by original singers and composers but this stuff is turned up to 11.

[cryptochronic]

Seriously I'm blown away by your talent and equipment. Perfection in every song. You're a gifted man.

[hubrr]

Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen are playing in the beautiful sky right now. The King of Pop and The Tapping King.

[nimitytei]

I hate when people say someone is talented, its such a diminishing word. This is what pure blood, sweat and tears look like. Effort put in every single day, years of discipline achieves this skill. Amazing.

[linksaya]

1:27 That KoRn style.... Btw if you want a melodeath version check out the one by Raintime.

[HelloIamClay]

Man...

The genius of going somewhere completely new instead of trying to replicate what many thing is the greatest solo of all time.

Simply magical.

[Joeclaw]

Underrated Leo song. The harmony of the two voices at the end of each "beat it" gives me life

[CodThr]

The bridges and solos - the parts that are more Leo than the rest of the song - that's my favorite part of a cover by Leo.
