Lady Gaga Goes Polka-Metal

The Demented Sound World Of Andy Rehfeldt 16-Aug-10

Ever wonder what it would sound like if Lady Gaga went Polka-Metal? Or if the Jonas Brothers did death metal?

Thanks to guitarist Andy Rehfeldt, you you can wonder no more.

Rehfeldt is a musician/composer, based out of Los Angeles. He creates YouTube mashup/remixes based on the videos and vocals of popular artists, but takes the artists into uncharted and often humorous territory. 

Here's his smooth jazz take on Metallica's Enter Sandman:

Rehfeldt's remixes work surprisingly well, in large part because his guitar work is great and faithful to whatever genre he takes on. 

Rehfeldt explains why he creates his warped remakes, saying "I never became a rockstar, but thanks to Youtube, I have an audience. Although I am not making any money from this, it's a great way to stay creative."

Here's one more of Rehfeldt's stranger remakes - the Jonas Brother's doing their death metal classic, Paranoid:

TheLeoOfCostaRica 22-Jan-12 05:47 AM

I'm AMAZED by the fact that Weird Al hasn't made a song called "Polka Face" yet.


Pyro25100 22-Jan-12 03:59 AM

Only you can find a way to turn a song like this into THIS, and manage to make it sound good by combining two completely different genres.


TheRiffCalendar 21-Jan-12 09:08 PM

Oh my fuck when the double bass kicks in!


vomitofdeath 21-Jan-12 08:10 PM

Better than the original

Andy, I've been subscribed to ya for a bit now since checkin the radio Disney version of Slipknot, but had to tell ya, for my Music Genre's class at Full Sail University one of our instructors links us to your vids often to show differences in relations to genres and changing them. Keep up the great work with these!
