Every music lover has that one good song or album that’s ruined by a shitty time or person. For Avatar frontman, Johannes Eckerström, the idea of the cover song opens up the Pandora’s box of Ruined Music. Eckerström wages war against bands that use cover songs as passionless grabs at cheap crowd reactions and renounces all music devoid of genuine heart and soul.

Best Covers (ALL 3 BETTER than the Originals):
1) Nazareth – This Flight Tonight (Joni Mitchell)
2) Quiet Riot – Cum on Feel the Noise (Slade)
3) White Lion – Radar Love (Thin Lizzy)
Esse homem e lindo demais ❤😊
Was expecting an hour long rant about Avatar being "bad." But instead, I got an hour long video of Johannes ranting about bad covers.
One of the world's greatest gifts. As a metal head for close to 50yrs, this band brings together all the amazing things about metal and more.
4:44 So… Who do we think handed Johannes the candy for the bit?
My money is on Tim or John, in that order lmao
LOL!!!! Johannes is a legend. He makes a very good point while taking the piss out of himself. Much respect <3
Ah… Johannes
Cada vez lo veo mas guapo ❤
fanncy looking johannes looks like a mortuary assistant
God, how I agree with him. We live in the era of covermen. Moreover, covermen who do not hesitate to earn millions of money and subscribers from the work of others and sometimes they are even more popular than the musicians who created the original
It's good that he speaks about covers.
I discovered Avatar with their cover of Something in the Way from Nirvana. It's probably on of the most creative covers I heard.
… Hold the eff up. It took me a good minute it's Johannes xD
Har fulgt Avatar siden de startet i låven Så bra og kule Heia Sverige og Avatar Dere er råe Grattis Sverige Hilsen en fans fra Norge 🔥🔥🔥❤️
How did these guys not take over music in general?
Why does this guy sound so intelligent compared to 99%. Of us Americans or the “the states”
Excuse me while I smoke some Marlboro cigarettes and sip some wawa coffee!
President?
Discovered a couple of months ago, first seen last week, 40+ years of concert going, never been more entertained or had as much fun.
That last bit reminds me of Wayne's World, LOL.
I love how he clearly hates what he is talking about but is trying not to offend or expose anyone. Such a nice guy.
Avatar's cover of "Something in the Way" is one of those extremely rare covers that's better than the original.
I hate covers, we did a cover, but people that do covers have no talent, we also covered this band, that band… whores! Gotta love a singer who says what he thinks.
Orgi, blue Monday
Just love him. Just love Avatar. ❤
Your title is a bit much, though
Watching this now and looking at Ghost 👀
I knew of avatar for years but my siblings recently got me into hard core songs and what not and I recently went to a concert in Salt Lake City. I fell in love
58 years of listening to Metal. Avatar are a great refreshing band.
He’s talking about Bad Wolves
wtf have i just winessed
If you don't like Avatars music then you don't like good music at all. Stay stuck listening to your Metallica or Slayer out dated tunes lmao
Glad to hear someone mention Helloween
They are trash
The fact that nirvana inspired this band is mind blowing. ❤❤❤❤
Avatar is a great band I’m glad I found them.
I just found these guys and it's my new jams! They fucking rock!
He's probably talking about Slaughter when they did a cover of We will rock you. That was horrible.
Then they cover something in the way and it's amazing.
Genius
It's definitely Five Finger Death Punch.
No entendí ni madres pero te amo Johannes
