Psychosocial Baby

January 23, 2019

I don’t know how well-known this clip is, but I was highly amused by it.

First I laughed so hard when somebody pointed me at it and I watched it. Remix of such an extreme pop singer like Justin Bieber and such an extreme metal group like Slipknot was so well-made, and they even mixed the video clips to match the music. I was equally impressed by the idea and the quality of implementation.

Later I found the reactions of Slipknot front man Corey Taylor on this clip, and was impressed again. This man is really nice.

Well, maybe not.

I’m not sure who actually produced the video clip, but the remix itself has been published in 2011 on Bandcamp page of the user Isosine, as part of their first album Mashup Manifesto.

Yes, there’s more remixes like that. For example, there’s a mix of Modest Mouse (never heard about such a band) and Avenged Sevenfold (oh my God). And there’s five such albums to date as well!
