Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos. - Hudba
Thanks to the guy who did'nt stop suggesting this
You think secretly it was the bunny?
Rofl
Indeed! This cover rocks 🤘
It would be really sweet to hear a cover of Todd Snider's Can't Complain. watchin this with the sound off, so i don't wake everyone up. But i'm gonna listen later. 🤘🏿🤠✌🏻👍🏾😁 Ministry &Co-Conspirators...
Leo RULES!!!!!
"So, how are the new neighbors?"
"They're alright. Just a metalhead with a miniature drum set and a vespa plus a six-foot white rabbit with a banjo. Same ol' same ol."
So Harvey moved to Norway to hang with Leo.
Harvey is a great Jimmy Stewart movie about a giant rabbit, on case you are wondering. A great classical movie.
This is the ukulele :) not a banjo ;)
soo.. i forgot for a second foot is a measurement.. after reading this comment..
"what do you mean six he has 6 feet??"
I just damn near spit my beer out reading this!! Lmao!!!! Brilliant!!!
This is not just a cover. It is a tribute, and a heavy one as well. Nice work as always!
How does Leo make EVERY cover better than the original??
Pure Mad Talent!!! He has become part of my Friday ritual
Because everything sounds better "metaled".
I'm kinda torn. The Spiderbait cover of this seems harder, more frenetic.
I did enjoy the original a bit more (a lot more)
Unfortunately the original is better than this, but it's ok
because metal is awesome. duhh
You know shit's about to get wild when the Rabbit pulls out a banjo.
This is my newest email signature....
Loool :D
What Norwegian sorcery is this? Just two days ago I did a search for Black Betty Cover and Leo only to find nothing. Now here it is? Get out of my mind you beautiful Scandinavian devil!
Whoever storyboards these things deserves a freaking Oscar.
Imagine being Leo’s next door neighbor? “Hon, come take a look at this!”
*ma, the bunny man's doing weird shit again!"
"Shut up Timmy they're making music"
" Crazy neighbor youtube guys at it again "
Awesome!
Do you think he'd let me work the puppets if I was nice?
I'd b over there in a squirrel outfit ....tossing acorns around like glitter
It’s not Friday without Leo!! 🤘🤘
Yes, let´s get retro with this classic! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Social Distortion or Mike Ness' songs - Ball and Chain, Winners and Losers, No Man's Friend, etc.
You're the best, Leo! Good luck!
Very nice.. now for something by The Hives?
how about a theme song:
Back to the Future
“Animaniacs”
and/or “Pinky and the Brain”
The Blasters - Dark Knight
Ini kamoze- here comes the hotstepper
Reef - place your hands
I monster - daydream in blue.
Bruce Springsteen - dancing in the dark
Aerosmith - pink
I like that you stuck to the "Shot in someone's backyard on a budget" look that the original music video had.
Yes, there's definitely some heavy homage to Ram Jam's version going on. Including the motorcycle.
I love how Leo (and friends/family) clearly love making music, it shows in each video and makes them worthy to be watched and listened to repeatedly!
This is fire, because Black Betty is a classic old-school rock song, and I'm here for it🤘🤘🤘
Fuck yeah been waiting for him to do a cover of this for years now. Outstanding!!!
If you like this you should listen to spiderbait's version
Just when you think it can’t get anymore mental... Leo outdoes himself 🤣🤣🤣
Now a days I do not listen to any original song, I search for a Leo cover only.
Me too he makes all music just lovely. Even the songs I love the original he doesn’t do covers he does perfect adaptations in my opinion.
Finding this was a complete accident but I’m loving it 😍
welcome to the best underground club on CZcams. tune in every friday for more. 🤘🏻😁
Leo's neighbors: oh look honey, he's out playing with his friends again. Wait, is that the Easter Bunny...?!
bahahhahhahah!!!!
And SATAN!
more like Easter Island Bunny…
Fun fact: the original music video by Ram Jam was recorded in their yard, too... ok, without an EASTER bunny, but bunnies were present...
@@torstenraab532 And that it was based on the folk song by Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter.
I wanna hear "ain't no rest for the wicked"
Me too!!! I thought he already covered it
Hell yes!!!
Solid suggestion.
if you’re talking the Cage the Elephant song, then I definitely agree. good call.
Yes please this would be awesome
Great version of the song. That is a gorgeous neighborhood, those mountains are amazing!
I'd love to know what the neighbors are thinking when they look out their window and see a guy dressed in 70's clothes, a puppet, and a bunny dancing around a backyard.
The Boys of Summer by Don Henley would sound damn incredible coming from you mate! 🤘🏻
I agree that would be an excellent choice. My wife loves that song.
Good choice
The Atari’s made a pretty sweet cover of this
Bunny looking like the guest fighter in Tekken
Rare miss this time. To convoluted the greatness of the song was in its simplicity
I love the outtakes thanks Leo
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the fact that Leo actually does something every week and works his butt off for it.
He doesn't just react to Tik-Tok videos and judge people while trying to look "cute" in fake glasses and saying vapid, stupid stuff to get more followers.
He doesn't sit in front of a wall of toys and comics in his basement and tell people whether or not he thought the new video-game movie was any good or throw shade at female celebrities.
He just rocks!
(and yes, I'm poking fun at 'can we all just appreciate' comments under bad youtubers, but I mean it when i say he rocks.)
He rocks.
Damn I feel personally attacked 😂 but I do agree with you, the guy absolutely smashes it every time!
@@thattomguy91 Oh, I'm totally making fun of myself with this comment, too...
I suppose, the raw material is at least 5-6 hours and the editing is the true horror. I truly appreciate this hard work!
Yes an OG you tuber that paved the way for many for sure. Love him.
OMG the Bunny splitting his pants made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair! Fantastic job as always sir!
Do they capture that moment?
Gotta wonder if he noticed it getting drafty...
@@Crackrzz I'm not sure if that's the exact moment it happened, but in the outro it looks like it happened around then.
The music is mixed absolutely amazingly Good job Leo
Leo you're music is amazing!! I really wish youd give us a metal version of all along the watchtower!! Keeping doing what you do brother.
that last picture of Leo & Bunny reminds me of the Beastie Boys last frame of Sabotage!!
great cover, excellent video...love the bloopers
This man never disappoints 🤟
Love the throwback backyard video vibe!!!
In Hell I'll be in Good Company
- The Dead South
This would be a killer metal cover!!
Hell yeah!
I second this one
I third it
4th
Or banjo odyssey
Hahaha You don’t have any fun doing this at all, do you? 😀 🤘
'Carry on Wayward Son' is contagious. The amount of fun they are having makes me happy daily.
No. Its not fun. It's work. Hard work. The payoff is not always monetary. Its adulation. Took a long time to figure that out. I use to think I loved to fight....it wasn't the fight that i loved......It was the adrenaline.
whoa peter thorn!
@@mariacupo4955 it's my favourite song right now. it use to be listen to your heart, but Truls just knocks it out of the park. those pouted lips are just a crack up and I think his drum playing with his head bobs and his arms going way up in the air in between each hit is awesome.
@@vladdracul7810 Leo has to have at least a little fun doing it, otherwise, he wouldn't bother.
I heard this song at a bar the other night and thought to myself, Leo should cover this. Get out of my head please.
Really glad you started showing these behind the scene shots.
I have been following the tunes for about 3 years or so. They are still great. Do your thing, we love the music and you!
One of my first singles I bought with my pocket money back in the 70's 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Looks like Shaggy used more than 1% of his power and invaded the donnie darko universe
I'm not the only one who thought of Shaggy.
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought Donnie Darko
The guy in bunny suit isn't named Frank... BUT THE CAMERA MAN IS.
I'd ballpark it at about 3-3.5% ;^)
I deem this the Best Comment
A favorite song by a favorite musician. Great Bunny and everything else by Leo!
your hard work is evident, appreciated and respected but mostly thank you for sharing all your talent and making us smile. the world needs more people like you.
I have a virtual meeting in ten minutes- I need this to put me in the right frame of mind.
Happy Friday All!!
LEO IS OUT OF THE STUDIO!!!! Rock on dude!
Pure Gold!!!!
Yes! Please don't ever stop doing these
Hell yea. Cover Surfing USA
Yes!!
Now I'm waiting for Lowrider. Please please please with a metal cherry on top?
Pure talent !!!!AWESOME
Awesome love your music bought all the albums so far
Old, but gold. Great version, Mr. Moracchioli and misterious bunny!
Just do every song ever made, they all would be outstanding.. in my opinion !!
For real though. I look for songs expecting for leo to have already done it and a little saddened when it's not there
Philly in 1975 and 1976 were awesome as a 6 year old!! Red white and blue everywhere
Truth 🤘
Word to my mother I blasted some Weasel today.
@@rickdc7968 HAHA, I love some S.W. if you can't tell. I got to see the Riverdales back in the late 90s but never WEASEL. Guess not much different just no Jughead unfortunately.
I love this cover!!!!
I'm 63 years old and I love every minute of it you're fantastic wish I could play like that
I bet the neighbors were saying “that damn rabbit is riding that moped on the streets again”
I was thinking the same thing--his neighbors must either love him or think they're living next to a complete nutbag!
Not a moped, scooter
@@RyanGribble you stand on a scooter you sit on a moped. Alteast in the usa
@@TheNinjakat2010 incorrect. A moped is short for motorpedal which means if the engine dies you still have pedals. A scooter, is something you ride like a motorcycle but your feet are in front of you inside the frame of the bike vs to the side of the frame line a motorcycle. The scooter you're referring to is a kid's toy.
@@RyanGribble yup you're correct my bad forgot about scooters like that. Most I see now are mopeds and those kids toy scooters have motors as well now.
Edit: thought back to go-bots when you mentioned that
Allways fascinated what incredible good sound this little drum kit makes!
The little drum set is just a toy, just like any other music video he sings it in the studio and then does the music video, I'm guessing lip singing over it, that part I'm not sure about.
So AWESOME!!! Loved it!
One of my favourites to date.
Black bunny 😎🖤🎸👍 sounds great, love it 😎
Damn, that rabbit must work out. Even his pants are ripped.
I was thinking the same :D
That Rabbit is packing some serious Biceps, 10/10 wouldn't steal it's carrot!
Gold!
Alrighty there, you degenerate punner. #TossTheLike
Love the respect you gave to the original...
Oh the rock walls in the background. Since one gets directly desire to come climbing.... oh yes... Super made the song and the video
Well done, Leo and crew!
Norway looks nice. I bet its awesome to be Leo's neighbors and hear all that awesome music lol
This is the only version of this song that makes me smile. Thank you!
This was unexpected. 1 of my fave songs of my time. Thanks Leo.
I didn’t know what was missing in my life was a screaming Norwegian man, but now I do 😁
Awesome! Welcome to the club 🤗
The kind of jam to get my Friday started on a good note. Great job leo!
I think you'd slay Roxanne, by the police
Amazing this, rock and roll!!!
My God everything you do it GOLD!
This may be a Lead Belly original, but we all know you're covering Ram Jam.
I don't think Lead belly actually wrote it either, I think it was a prison work song before
SithCats@@calebcleland8716- I was curious about the originality too...according to Google: Performed by James "Iron Head" Baker & Group - First recording in December 1933 -Released more than 10 years after its recording
@@denisemarie2985 yeah, that's what I found too
its more spiderbait :)
A Spiderbait cover 🇦🇺🤟
Love it!
Capp, you here? :O didnt expect you to like this kind of music :)
@@TakiTamPunk Its the primary music genre I listen to. And Ive been listening to Leo for years.
You two are funny
I love this song and this version is friggin awesome 🤘
This is one your very best, Leo. Thanks!
Every time I get a song stuck in my head, Leo releases the metal cover the following Friday :D
So??? What's next??? ;)
Metal cover of “steady as she goes”🖤
how can you do this ?? how is this possible ... the original black betty is amazing ... how can you make THAT even better .. damn leo .
Loving this.
Didn’t know I needed this
LOVED THIS!!!!!!
Brings tears to my ears.
Iconic cover!
Damn!!!
Banjo Bunny was a surprisingly large reality shift for me. Rabbit on scooter, fine. Rabbit with water hose, fine. Rabbit doing choreography, fine. Rabbit with banjo, wtf? 😀
Great video! 🤘 👏
talented as hell sir. Spider bait covered this way back but you made it your own and gave it the Leo treatment. Hats off to you
OMG, this is just to fricking good!
Also I Touch Myself by The Divinyls please! 🙏🙏
I imagine Leo's neighbors love him
"Hun, come look at the manchild playing with his dolls again!"
Love ya Leo keep on rockin!
Love this!
Only you, Sir, could make an excellent cover of an excellent cover of the work of an icon. I salute you, and all those of Frog Leap.
I love EVERYTHING YOU DO!!! My 2 and 5 year old daughters love you even more! They requested that you would do more Disney songs 😅
YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW! The last time that i enjoyed a metal cover was from Spiderbait... well done Leo, you gave the Black Betty a new metal essence! i really enjoyed it!
I admit, I was afraid. I saw what this song was and thought "well yeah, Spiderbait did such a good job though, this is a softball for Leo"... aaaaand he then proceeded to do something entirely different.
thanks for all the work you put into This Man!
Dude you are a undiscovered gem to the music. You make every song so much more enjoyable.
Love me some Hare Metal!!! Awesome job like always, keep em' coming. 🤘😎🤘
Thank you for that
This comment deserves so much more love then it has received.
I find the outtakes music is the best. Don’t forgot to listen until the end.
Leo! Thank you so much - I was requesting this cover - and here it is, only 8 weeks later. You are a genius!
Automatically one of my faves. Holy shit it just fits so well.
That part with the hose reminded me of the Chris Farley movie blacksheep
That was actually Tommy Boy but it totally does!
@@katiedoan1885 oh yeah it was tommy boy, sorry I must have eaten too many paint chips when I was a child. 😂
In Germany we say „du hast so herrlich en an der Klatsche“ and i think that‘s biutiful 🥰🥰🥰
Leo You have really broken the mold as far as covers go And as far as a musician man what a legend keep on rocken
Love it. Great work
