Vampire Killer (Rock Version)

[gongal]

More like fusion jazz version

[Volviert]

it´s jazzfusion, very popular in japan and sometimes they use guitar.

[martooxxx]

i hate how androgynous alucard and richter look in this picture.

[274joe]

@martooxxx i didnt know what that ment so i googled it XD

[x7h3ch0z3n1x]

[Boggieman667]

Techno jazz version.

[TheDemonx2000]

1:27 fuck jou

[bobmecz]

like :megusta;

[comicerrant1]

this is the kind of rock i want to hear these game themes played in....this lame ass heavy-punk cover trend really does not match my conception of how these would have been recorded if the composer put it in his band instead of in the cartridge.

[DeciVonW]

The Vampire ur Lookin for is in another castle....

[MRGabriel123856]

undergrond garden?



[twiligame]

why do I hear some james bond in this theme?

[MastaGambit]

cuts off @ 1:27 D:

[nicouroboros]

Fuckin' awesome jazz fusion!!

[peepeevagi]

It's like someone threw Godot into the Castlevania series to kick Dracula's butt :D

[marchak]

you guys gotta remember judas priest and blue oyster cult came out as heavy metal, and now i see them in the pop sections of music stores right next to jonas brothers and justin beiber music styles change,

[cryptonomicon25]

@marchak

Pop isn't a genre.  It simply refers to what it sounds like: "popular music". Normally this includes chart toppers and songs that make it to extensive radio play. "Don't Fear the Reaper" and "Breaking the Law" are good examples.

When not-so-mainstream bands become so well known, they get classified this way.

[NightandDayable]

the runaway 5 played this apparently

[skygodwing]

GUITAR FREAKS V6 ＆ drummania V6 BLAZING!!!! [Vampire Killer]

that is rock Version

[Vi0LenTMoodSwngs]

It's more jazz/funk but it's very rock in it's presentation.

[PopTartsNinja1]

Ever heard of soft rock?

[SuaveTito]

This is the theme song to Team Belmont, which is infinitely greater than Team [Cedric Diggory] and Team [Sharkboy]

[hassmann2000]

'jazz hands' everyone!

[PhioPL]

The music style would be fusion

[DoraCatBuu]

It sounds more jazzy than rock, but it's still a good song.

[JackTR21]

Sounds like SEGA ROCKS so that's probably why it got labled the rock version lol

[XxArkhamxAsylumxX]

it more like jazz

[roman7vcf]

is jazz!!!!!!!!!!!! mothefucker!!!!!!!!

[ismaeluchiha1]

good song

[ResurrectedTemplar]

It's so gay...

[GeneralErlend]

For wannabe fans that doesn't know, this is the Akumajo Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku - Nocturne in the Moonlight ver of Vampire killer, not "rock ver"....

[chocolateMAN200]

it sounds like jazz to me

[Saiyuki204]

@chocolateMAN200 sounds like a Michael Jackson song!

[Lkynmbr24]

@Saiyuki204 And the fact that Alucard looks a little like an Albino Micheal Jackson doesn't help xD (R.I.P MJ)

[chibigonbetan]

It sounds just like an alph lylia song :P

[BRAWLLUIGI]

Is it just my computer or does the song abruptly end at 1:29 with only silence for the rest of the video??

[Luchtverfrissser]

no:(

[israel130916]

where you found the mp3?please tell me xD

[kakarottossj3]

oops not this one but the bloody tears remix..

[kakarottossj3]

This song is only in the saturn version

[Michelle2815CV]

completely weird but still promising

[abyssto]

is vampire killer jazz version

[shtryx]

My thought exactly.

[axonndude29]

@abyssto noooooooo its the megaman version of the song XD

[TenguGuy]

This is not rock...

[devilbelmont]

well i found it like that it says vampire killer rock.

[SuaveTito]

That is what it's called, but what else would you call it?

[draklorian]

@devilbelmont sounds a bit more jazzy bluesy kinda thing

[filipje1993]

@devilbelmont its more lounge music; vampire lounger :3

[Gomess]

It is a rock-styled arrangement of the original.

Music doesn't need electric guitars and loud volume to be "rock"...

[DarkDreamer444]

@Gomess I agree. All it needs is semi-fast rythym and a catchy tune...

[ATOcmcclain]

@Gomess I agree with this, as it is clearly rock. But that doesn't necessarily mean it rocks haha. Seriously tho this is rock

[sirwartooth]

@Gomess NO U

[mangaka08]

@Gomess Rock is typically defined by the drum pattern and the rhythmic structure of the song. No, it doesn't need electric guitars and loud volume, but it rock still has a definite sound. This is more of a jazzy sound. The drum beat is the most obvious characteristic.

[comicerrant1]

@Gomess very well said..rock does not mean METAL..this jazz/fusion rock version rocks harder than the lame high-school metal garage covers

[sonny0123456]

@Gomess no but this isnt not rock anyways, its more of a jazz(plus rock per se kinda requires at least a string based instrument leading, which is not the case)

[sapnyosentry]

@TenguGuy

its called rock version because it rocks.

[aliseon1864]

@TenguGuy thats how its displayed in game play its just a title

[MastaGambit]

@TenguGuy What you MEANT to say is this is not metal. :S

[castlevaniacrazy5]

strange but promising
