[SerebiiShirine]

The 16 people who disliked this are a miserable little pile of secrets

[extrememetal100]

Crying of nostalgia....

[AgApE010]

Sell this on iTunes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musicninjawarrior]

Awesome cover bro!

[chrisredfield11584]

This is awesome! Great job.

[Hellfireknightmare]

Super Awesome, man! :D Wicked child is my fave of CV1!!!! :D

First the Giant Bat at the Main Hall, then the Medusa Head at the chapel and then the Towers, listening to this masterpiece of the 8 bits. (The only thing I NEVER understand were those mummies as the boss... xD LOL

[sonicduck1234]

this brings back good memories

[budopey]

That was awesome!

[Soluzz]

I DEMAND TABS OR A TUTORIAL!!!!!!

please?

[Tabatron2010]

Thanks to the original Castlevania I was expelled from my first high school for violently attacking the teacher when I was given a test with "Sine Waves". According to my therapist, the rage stems from my inability to comprehend why medusa heads couldn't be a tangent wave instead...

[FoxMageMagus]

The 16 people who disliked this never made it passed the first boss.

[cfroi08]

@FoxMageMagus obviously they didnt mean to press the dislike button, that happened to me once xD, but seriously you dont everything that happens on the internet so shut the fuck up about other peoples mistakes.

[nilzf]

@FoxMageMagus probably they've never even played it...

[FireArmsResQ]

Badass man!

[SerebiiShirine]

Please, play the music Stalker of Castlevania.

[JEFFKILLS1]

Castlevania sparked everything that is holy in the video game industry... This you know to be true...

Great job with the sweet guitar with the NES music!

[MYSEGAISBROKEN]

well atleast its not another cover of bloody tears

[sk8b0ard3r]

holy shit tabs?

[dzk004223]

Does any1 remember how annoying the stage right before u fight the grim reaper and theres madusa heads coming at both directions while theres 2 knights on bothe sides throughing axes at u. yea that part was fucking relentless. Excuse me if i got some parts wrong.

[mykindburn2]

Hey! That's pretty damn good man. I love Castlevania. I'm going to go play it now. I always thought that Simon was the Belmont in the first one. It's Trevor? He's a badass. But I think Gabriel was the best until he gave his soul up to Laura's demise. Horrible end. FRIENDLY CHALLENGE: I wonder if you can play "Bloody Tears" (Sonia's version from LEGENDS) I've been trying and Nobody posted it yet, kinda wanna hear a "metalized" version of it. It's awesome. Anyway good job brochacho.

[Obelisk94]

You're freaking awesome man!

[0Banjo0]

one of my favorite video game songs of all time.

[bucketfan4life]

One look at Trevor's bullwhip and Edward Cullen would piss himself. Keep them coming! Loved it!!

[squeege57]

@bucketfan4life Just being that close to trevor would cause Edward to explode.

[frenchemo6]

lookin for a drummer : )



[y2k4ever1]

Were is  The one called Cullen? Ive got a score to settle!!!

[HikaruTokeshi]

Can you give a tab?All the ones I can find don't sound as good,and I'm not good enough to play by ear.

[mkfan678]

edward cullen got nothin on this

[jbwhite1990]

I wanna download this and use it for SVR 2010 entrance music. Imma create Simon Belmont

[zaspan1]

It would rock if you did a full cover not the 8-bit.You got some talent btw. castlevania 4 life fuck twilight

[Tabatron2010]

Best part -> 0:00 - 1:57

[TakA7x1999]

favorite part 0:45-1:10

[chazman9300]

You sir, are awesome. I love these songs so much. Old playstation memories.

[NandeDattebayoo]

@chazman9300 It's not Playstation. It's Nintendo 8-bit :P

[chazman9300]

@NandeDattebayoo This song reminded me of playing castlevania, the main castlevania game I played was Symphony of the Night. which was on playstation.

[NandeDattebayoo]

@chazman9300 aaah i see! My bad man! :) Castlevania rules despite which concole. :)

[chazman9300]

@NandeDattebayoo Indeed.

[NandeDattebayoo]

@chazman9300 :)

[jpss011876]

Nice version! Do you ever get the feeling that Iron Maiden is somehow the inspiration for ALL video game music?

[TheReducks]

@jpss011876

Oh god no. That's actually probably one of the dumbest things I've read. While it MAY be an inspiration to SOME music that has a hard beat like Castlevania (though I highly doubt it), it is in no way the inspiration to ALL video game music.

[jasonjlaw]

Tits work, sir!

[beastman5566]

@schattenjager

You should do a badass loop with some solo improvs to lengthen it up!

[beastman5566]

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I wish this was longer lol!

[ultimatearmorx]

¿You can make a tutorial of this song D;?

[LogicBombs]

Dragon Force needs to do a Castlevania tribute album.

[TheConnyB]

Those old time Nintendo musicians could compose some cool shit!

[SK8TV94]

Never heard this before, its tight though!

[Revan1350]

If you want tabs message me saying you want them cause for some reason i cant put the link in the comments. :P

[aeondesign]

@Revan1350 can I have tab plz?

[Totema1]

I just noticed you never use your pinkie. Excellent work. Have you covered Iron Blue Intention yet? I'd like to see your take on it.

[godfarter1]

@kaithelonechampion if there was a pork chop in this fucking wall i would so eat it(its an awsome avgn episode)

[krum03]

do you got the tabs for this?

[woodyburns]

Is there any way you could be convinced to do the stage (not game) boss battle song from dragon spirit the new legend?

[frikidashit]

@kaithelonechampion (Nintendo power it´s on fire, AVGN: -Oh shit, lol

[9SoulFire9]

Damn this guy has nailed these songs. CASTLEVANIA= AWSOME X 10000

[ListenToMcMuck]

Seems 2 b a great way 2 utilize the own obsessions [8)...

A way that potentially leads 2 death-metal... ([|)]

THX 4 the signpost. & move along!!!

muck (=|=)

[metachozo]

a tip that might help you plat a bit faster (just advice form guitarist to guitarist) try moving your fingers instead of your wrists :)

[soadbro]

Finally! You're the first person I've seen who covers video game music and has a good ear! You played that perfectly and with style. Thank you.

[obadboystanley]

OMG i love this effin tune lol.

[jbwhite1990]

12 people got their asses kick by Simon Belmont

[erosvalnz]

can i have tabs ? :)

[katnissen]

12 people does'nt like music

[levipearl2112]

@katnissen Grammar Fail...

[katnissen]

@levipearl2112 I thought it was right until 5 minutes ago. Well, it makes it less embarassing that my mother language ain't (that right?) English, but Danish

[kw1ksh0t]

I am only 15, I love NES games, they bring back a lot that was missing from my childhood as I'm too young to have played a real NES :( I love how the classic gaming community doesn't care that I wasn't there to experience, to them, I am not a "noob", I am a "recruit". These games are so warm, if you watch AVGN's review of Independence Day you will see what I mean, that PS1 game seems so dirty and odd, but then you see Top Gun at the end and it feels so warm and cozy, it defines why I love it.

[katnissen]

@kw1ksh0t I know how you feel, since I'm 16. There were some tough shit on PS1, but it was my first console, and my greatest nostalgia factor; but I would'nt have minded growing up with THIS :D

[Pkinchy]

I find it scary that people are finding whips in their homes...

[Dralshard]

Cheers for Dracula! Cheers for a vampire that sucks blood, and not dicks, like a certain Cullen!

[micara0131]

Classics!

[levipearl2112]

FUCKING MEDUSA HEADS!!!!

[fucdisdeath]

@levipearl2112 How do they Work???

[JeffreyBezeau]

Wow, it's perfect, reminds me all these time of my childhood, trying to beat this fucking game, pressing pause and closing the tv when my mother told me to sleep, and playing again at 6 o clock during the morning, trying to get my fucking way out of those shitty bastard son of a bitch of medusa head. Great fucking memory yeah :D

[zaurask]

@JeffreyBezeau I can't beat Dracula. This game is FSCKING hard! But it's soooooo addicting!

[HikariNoNanaki]

@zaurask Holy Water is the trick, man.

[n1nj41000]

this song just gave me the biggest boner known in time. this is FUCKING AWESOME!!

[eXdXgXe4life]

Love it!

[Kratos3243]

simply awesome man!!!!

[sanjano1]

perfect

[MetalClaysmith]

Way awesome=) Love this!!!!

[Lupucillo]

Hey! :D This is awesome!

[Lupucillo]

Awesome!

[otakon008]

What kind of software/hardware are you using to transfer sound to your pc? My vids sucked, can't hear a thing. (I used a digicam) :(

[MyTailypoe]

Hands down,your awesome.Been a fan of your work here for awhile,keep it up!

[lukas75004]

mutherfucker

[romeoflair]

awesomenessssssss....

[oosaf]

Don't suppose you can upload an mp3 of this, huh?

[MelodicWinter]

@oosaf

use atubecatcher, and download in mp3

[Parkerkun]

The whole animu-style ruined the series imho. Nice playing though.

[MattTheSpratt]

@Parkerkun That's just a graphic style that lasted two games. :U

And it's not as if it changed how the game played at all, did it?

[theDEvil666ify]

men u ar awsome i like this song

[blekfet99]

0:45 is a fking awsom riff absolutly love it!

[MrPikkis]

Schattenjager, the way you play these old school Nintendo themes is truly inspiring! It's great to hear the tunes i grew up with reformed into such excellent guitar play! Nintendo themes were often really good, and you're proving it!

It inspired me to start working on a bass cover that could go with your guitar covers, if i get anything proper out of it i'll make sure you get to see it!

Keeping on rocking, Schattenjager, you're great!!

[guywholikesgames]

if it wasn't for emulators on pc's now i would never have played this game that came out i'm only 17 but castlevania 1 3 and super castlevania 4 rule my life i can't do 2 lol too hard :p AWESOME MUSIC and hope loads is to come

[schattenjager]

@guywholikesgames - Play Symphony of the Night on PSX. It is MY personal favorite, and the soundtrack is exquisite.

[StaticTorch]

@schattenjager agreed, Symphony of the Night is one the greatest Castlevania games in the series, but Castlevania 4 is really good as well

[Wizard890]

@schattenjager +1

SOTN rules.

[dzk004223]

@schattenjager yea Symphony of the Night is my favorite Castlevania game

[KolerikRocks]

I Love SOTN  i have it download on my PS3 HDD

[Nightowljrm]

@guywholikesgames : Dude, pick up an NES, SNES, Genesis, and all of the other classic consoles, including Atari, and play it on a TV. There's something special about playing it in the original format and having the original cartridges. Sure, it costs money, but they're collectible and they're not all that expensive. It's worth the money.

[winnerboi102]

@Nightowljrm I agree, its what im doing. i just picked up an atari 2600 for $10. :D Got a sega genesis about 2 weeks ago, and of course. had to pick up an n64. xP

[atebit80]

@guywholikesgames play Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine, try finding an unlocked copy of the magic engine emulator or just hit me up if you cant find one. its up there with the other castlevania's

[beyondthegrave2005]

@guywholikesgames Castlevania 2 is retardedly easy....

[KirbyPufocia]

Oh man, you're just like me, I can never decide between playing the harmony and melody in NES themes so I just switch back and forth constantly.

[ahamkara]

Awesome work! Best song in the game :)

[malevolent1982]

Nice work, shadow hunter. I like your version better than Chris Kline's, and that's saying a lot. I like how you stick to the original piece. 100 million stars!

[lordevil333]

*Grabs a whip* When do I kill shit?!

[EhSteve8690]

@lordevil333 Go to a Twilight movie at a theater. I'll bring the Holy Water.

[legendariosoul]

@EhSteve8690

And I will bring THE WHIP !

[KilleRoyNl]

@lordevil333 You need someone to tell you that?! *pulls sleeve* C'mon!!

[WESKERfromEVIL]

makes me wanna put a vampire mask over someone's head and beat the shit out of them :D

[ToonLawliet]

with a whip:P

[Andynaruto61]

@WESKERfromEVIL LOL WHAT THE HELL!?

THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY TO WATCH!!

[elbuenpehuen]

@WESKERfromEVIL

Amen

[elbuenpehuen]

@WESKERfromEVIL

Amen :)

[goldendragonchild]

@WESKERfromEVIL

Makes that sound like a good idea..... I KNOW WHO TO PUT IT ON!!! >=^ D

[winnerboi102]

@goldendragonchild Yeah, irategamer.

[goldendragonchild]

@winnerboi102

No, not who I was thinking, but I'll do it to him too anyway!!!

[SolidMike84]

@WESKERfromEVIL

You don't need a mask

Simply whip the whole cast of Twilight

Just whip 'em! Whip 'em good!

[WESKERfromEVIL]

@SolidMike84 No dude. Twilight's casts don't consider as "vampires" because they suck dicks, not blood. So no.

[SolidMike84]

@WESKERfromEVIL

XD

...But still, the whipping sounds tempting, no?

[DavidVelz]

@WESKERfromEVIL i couldent stop laghing when i read your comment

[crash22spyro]

@WESKERfromEVIL

OOOH! OOH! I HAVE AN IDEA!

THE CAST OF TWILIGHT! GO GET THEM!!!

[aeondesign]

@WESKERfromEVIL YMMD I Lol'd so hard when I saw this!

[sensitivebeat]

@WESKERfromEVIL I did that on halloween

dad wasnt too happy.....

[TheTruckdismountco]

@WESKERfromEVIL or find James Patterson

[femstarlight]

This is a classic tune and a great performance of it. It sounds as good now as it did 20 years ago! I can't believe I was playing this game 20 years ago...

[romeoflair]

just...

freaking...

awesome...

[BitterPoetMadman]

just...

fucking...

awesome...

FIX'D

[tadthudz]

AWESOME

[FUNGALSHAMBLER]

WOW... that's about all I can say. I would give 6 stars, but youtube only allows 5 sorry ;)

[Evalsrewop]

Most of the NES games I've played have at least one theme that's really awesome and that I'll always remember. Most modern games lack that. Oh, and nice cover ;)

[LoydAndKratos]

wow great job dude

[MDthornton83]

Awesome, man! You're talented!

[giygasilka]

wicked child is the best castlevania theme ever... and it's amazing how you make it sound even better

[Gamelvl84]

Was about to say that i disagree... and in a way i have heard better ones... but this one is fucking amazing regardless. Oh and players skills are perfect.

[GrandMasterEdge1111]

U can give the TABs of this music plz!?

PLZ MAN!

PLZ!

[yoshishot16]

that was WICKED!

[FunkWeasel]

How was this before the Exorcist? It came out in 1973. Castlevania didn't come out until the late 80's.

[nintendude8]

the title of the song was probaly a reference to the excorcist

[KayEmaN]

LOL!!!!

[Iamthemole1986]

wouldnt surprise me... as the first Castlevania had a ton of references to horror flicks

[HaZeGuArD]

The best Castlevania song ever!!!!

999999/10

[RigoStar]

fully agreed!

[sloppigfilms]

Awesome job!

[archiebald44]

I wonder wat guitar that is

[nikimetal]

I thing that is ibanez

[lutsurugi]

you ROCK!!!! damn you are good ;)

[WearWolfeAssassin]

9999

[phille22]

spot on....... speechless

[ThermonuclearBlast]

That was spot on

[molonlave2010]

I see how this works, you play your guitar while you play your NES games. Pretty good!

[impoliterobot]

How?With his feet?

[swaikis]

No he meant those background sounds from the game...i think

[archiebald44]

Ur funny, not!

[lazerman278]

then why isn't he taking damage from enemies. I think he just synchronizes the song from the nes to his version he plays on the guitar.

[confusedbanatt]

Amazing. Subscribed.

[BEHEDETY]

gracias por recordar mi infancia bien hecho

thanks a lot for this well done !!!

[Shilka81]

Wicked Child Rockz!

ich liebe Castlevania auf dem NES

[kyrieeleison1]

that was awesome!

[orioninstrumental]

Great!!

[EvilJocke]

Cool!

[Kardieschen]

Very good !

[Sanitarium94]

Great

[MasterBelmont]

My favorite tune from the first one. You've made it into a true masterpiece. Love the 8-bit music in the background.

[iheartbong]

what this guy said, incorporating the 8 bit music with it is a great touch

[Fairflai]

excellent. also love your guitar.

[lethrneck4]

amazing....all the castlevanias for NES and mega man 2 have incredible songs ...

[knightonlinefan]

wtf!

this is one of the best castlevania tunes, yet its only in 1 castlevania!!!!!!

[greytale]

That's right... despite what many may think--some very VERY exceptional composers of music arranged video game themes... even back in the 80's... :)

C-Vania... Zelda... Ys... were all pretty good examples...

[redtails]

Current games with proper music use symphonic orchestras to produce amazing music. Bill Brown is famous for his contribution to game music like you've never heard it before. Good gaming music is still being made, just not chiptune

[agaifi]

It made a cameo in Order of Ecclesia, I think.

[KilleRoyNl]

Yup, it did, listened to it in sound mode, couldn't believe all castlevania songs were in there ( I mean first game for nes)

[ryanharrisonawesome]

sooooooooooooo good - my favorite cv tune

[pyrohomunculus]

This is one of those songs that you love because it reminds you of those stages you love to hate.

Granted, all of Stage 3 had NOTHING on Stage 5...

[SolidMike84]

Beauty
