Leo Sayer and Metallica Mash Together Rather Nicely Don’t You Think!

Clearly one of the best mash-ups ever to hit YouTube popped up this week with Leo Sayer and Metallica becoming Leotallica.

The work comes from Bill McClintock who’s previous mash-ups include Aretha Franklin mixed with Aerosmith, Van Halen with Hank Williams and Iron Maiden with Chic.

Bill has used Leo Sayer’s ‘You Make Me Feel Like Dancing’ with Metallica’s ‘Sad But True’ and the result is genius.

In the past five days Leotallica has clocked up over a quarter of a million views.

Bill told InsideHook earlier this year, “In general, I pick two songs that are in the same key and roughly the same tempo. Many songs could theoretically be combined by using that method, but I try hundreds of combinations until I find two songs that sound like they belong together.”

Leo Sayer’s next project ‘Northern Songs’ also pairs his incredible voice with legendary songs but The Beatles. A year ago Leo slipped out his version of ‘Eleanor Rigby’. The taster was a preview of The Beatles’ ‘Northern Songs’ passion project Leo has been developing for years featuring his interpretations of Beatles classics.

Another song from the project ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ has just been released. Noise11 can confirm that the entire ‘Northern Songs’ album will be released in December.

Leo’s last album ‘Selfie’ was released in 2019. In 2020 he paid tribute to Melbourne as it became Ground Zero for Civid-19 in Australia with ‘My City In Lockdown’.

Leo Sayer will be back on tour for Apia Good Times starting up again on Sunday November in Geelong.

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
