[00:00:00]I mean, I could quite happily just sit here and listen to this cuz it's a banging song. But >> [music] >> Today we have a new band on the channel called First to Eleven and apparently they are doing a rock cover of Michael Jackson's Beat It. I thought it was already quite rocky in the first place.

[00:00:20]I know it's still a pop song, but it was quite guitar-y and had Eddie Van Halen with his super solos and stuff in it.

[00:00:25]So, I'm looking forward to seeing how somebody would rock up a practically rock song. Anyway, it's a request from Temple Wizard and I'm here for it cuz Michael Jackson's cool and I like rock music. Anyway, if this is the first time being here or seeing any of my reactions, then please hit like and subscribe. It supports me, supports the channel, and I do appreciate it very, very much. Right, okay, First to Eleven, Beat It. Let's go.

[00:00:54]Them drums drums them drums a little bit they started as well, aren't they?

[00:01:03]Iconic.

[00:01:06]>> [music] >> Nice.

[00:01:09]That was just in one headphone that bit then.

[00:01:15]>> [music] >> Okay.

[00:01:23]>> [music] >> Nice.

[00:01:30]Mhm.

[00:01:32]>> [music] >> Nice.

[00:01:39]>> [music] >> Nice.

[00:01:45]Mhm.

[00:01:46]>> [music] >> Beat it. Beat it. Beat it. [music] Beat it. Beat it.

[00:01:56]Beat it. Beat it.

[00:01:58]Beat it.

[00:02:00]I'd say what the lead vocals sound really good. I mean, it's not a song really that shows off a lot of like belting cards or belting vocals. It's just like in your face and it's supposed to be because Michael Jackson intended it to be that way. It's intended to be confrontational because it dealt with gangs and stuff. This version it's it's it's I wouldn't even say it's more ramped up than the original. It's just different, slightly different style. It's like someone just changed the instruments in the mixer as for the original song and got a different vocalist to sing it.

[00:02:29]That's how it feels like to me. But it sounds cool, man. I do like the layered vocals when when the layered vocals of the lady's voice, whatever her name is, as someone will tell me on stream.

[00:02:38]Were were blended with the normal voice.

[00:02:40]It's cool, man.

[00:02:43]>> [music] [music] >> Facts.

[00:02:57]It'll be interesting when the solo comes out.

[00:03:01]>> [music] [music] >> That's facts.

[00:03:13]>> [music] >> It's a tune, this. It's a tune.

[00:03:19]>> [music] >> Okay. [music] I wonder how they're going to do the solo, man. This I may have to have to pause for copyright and and talk about things. I mean, I could quite happily just sit here and listen to this cuz it's a banging song. But I mean, Eddie Van Halen, one of the best guitarists ever known for especially for his solo work. And we're going to get some guys here who I've never seen before doing the solo, which I can't wait for.

[00:03:51]As long as they nail it. They will.

[00:03:53]Surely they will.

[00:03:55]>> [music] >> Let's go.

[00:04:08]>> [music] >> All little harmonics, pinch harmonics in the background.

[00:04:13]Interesting vocals. There you go.

[00:04:14][music] Let's go. Solo.

[00:04:29]What the [ __ ] >> [music] >> Who is this kid?

[00:04:39]>> [music] >> Okay, different.

[00:04:48]>> [music] >> Okay, so he kept it in with the right scale, the right pitch, the right tonality.

[00:04:58]But complete played a completely different solo. And I didn't expect a kid to come fly Is he Is this who Cohen Christiac? Have I seen him on a Stevie T video before?

[00:05:09]I think I have, haven't I? Hasn't he been on Stevie T?

[00:05:13]It sort of like resonates with me that now. I'm sure he's been on Stevie T video.

[00:05:19]He's a great He's a great little guitarist, by the way. But I thought he was going to do the It caught me off guard cuz I thought he was going to do the original arrangements of that solo, and it wasn't. It was I'm going to do it again.

[00:05:31]Cuz I was The first half of it I was like, "What?"

[00:05:35]Do you know what I mean? Who is this kid?

[00:05:38]>> [music] >> Difference is not always bad.

[00:05:58]>> [music] >> Let's go.

[00:06:11]Ooh.

[00:06:14]>> [music] >> That's a fact.

[00:06:22]>> [music] >> I like it. I like it. It's different.

[00:06:29]>> [music] [music] >> Just beat it.

[00:06:37]Nice.

[00:06:41]>> [music] [music] >> That was cool, man.

[00:07:00]Do you know what, right?

[00:07:02]If someone told me after watching this video that that was Courteney Cox's daughter, I'd say, "Oh, yeah, I can see it." Doesn't she have that look about her? You know, the Courteney Cox from Scream type thing.

[00:07:14]She I think she has a a resemblance of Courteney Cox, which is, you know, good for her sort of thing. But, yeah, I mean, nothing will compare to the original song. Let's face it. Michael Jackson is the OG, he's the goat, he's the guy who who who revolutionized a certain genre of music, or a few genres of music, if you like. The king of pop, if you like. But, that was still a very, very, very good cover of that. And the kid coming out playing the solo was Well, that took me off guard. I didn't even look at the name at the top of the screen. I just saw first to 11 and I was like, "Who is that?" I didn't even think of the other person. I thought it might be someone who was supplying the drum kit or something or a guitar cuz sometimes bands do that, collab with like musical companies, don't they? But yeah, absolutely banging song, nearly as good as the original, but not quite there.

[00:08:02]Anyway, what did you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Don't forget to check out the original video and I'll see you next time.
