This has got to be the best metal cover of a pop song I've ever seen

[stankowalski]

Remember that song by Adele, "Hello"?  There have been dozens upon dozens, who am I kidding, possibly hundreds of covers.  I've seen quite a few of them because I think it's a great song.  But this has got to be the best cover of that song, and maybe even the best cover of a pop song by a metal artist I've ever heard.  Granted I've never heard of this dude, but that's ok, that's what it's all about these days with youtube stars and whatever.  But if you like that song and you're into metal you gotta check this out if you haven't already.

For some reason, I knew this was going to be what was posted.

I'll match it with the best rap cover:

Edit: I apologize for the awful, awful lyric video.

I will counter both:

Lol that Friday song is hilarious.  

I think we can all agree that metal covers of pop songs are genuinely dumb.  I like them because it's impressive and fun to hear a metal version, but boy am I glad that bands don't write songs like this.

Man that Adele cover would have been HUGE circa 2000/2001.

That was AWESOME! Going to put that on my iPod tonight.  I've always felt that a great test for a song is how well it will translate to other musical genres.  A well written song and melody will usually sound good no matter how it is played.  This guy rocks.  Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah you're right but I think it's more than that.  This guy actually added some brilliant stuff to the original I think.  He didn't just transcribe it.  I LOVE the part right before the solo (3:12) and throughout the solo.  Great stuff.

He's got tons of cover songs btw.  Found this one and because my mom was into ABBA I was familiar with it.  He nails it again.
