Well my apologies for not updating this as often as I would have liked to.
Now I myself am no musician at all, but many of my friends are. They are all varied in musical tastes as well some being punk rockers, some good old metalheads, country, and some even playing raeggae/ska type music. As such I get a lot of exposure to all sorts of music. Anyways, one of my very best friends that is a musician showed me this guy on youtube that pretty much takes pop music, movie soundtracks, video game soundtracks, etc. and makes them into metal. Really cool stuff and all his videos are decent. I figure I'd share one of them with you all. You can find the others by simply going to his youtube page or by searching Meets Metal in youtube.
The song is Careless Whisper Meets Metal which was intriguing to me because it is originally a pop song (I think originally done by George Michael not Wham, but I could be wrong.) So I found it quite interesting how this guy took a somewhat soft pop song and made it epicly metal.

So there you have it, even pop music can be epic if you subtract Lyrics and add in some metal lol. Either way I just found it very interesting how this artist re-does some memorable tunes, plus of course it fits into this topic as he took out the lyrics.
