Deus Ex Theme (Metal Version)

[Oxyster7]

omg dude, tune your guitar.

[jmtm00]

Oh yes.....thx guys!!!!

[Zuphix]

You just killed Deus Ex

[Sty2k5]

@Zuphix i guess he was high on Zyme when he wrote this

[Iaintrussian]

@Zuphix no, invisible war did that, and human revolution is gonna do that again... ;_;

[Sty2k5]

@McAfeeCenter you mean Deus Ex with Zyme...

[CiaranFallon]

This is what it sounds like on Zyme.

[HomeRunChips]

@Jimmeh02 haha I think its pretty good but cant wait to see your improved version

[deepthought23]

@Jimmeh02

Looking forward to it!!

[GranTruismo4head]

@Jimmeh02 I say its AMAZING if you want to remake this go ahead Jim but really it wouldnt be the same as your original masterpiece

[mariolalunia]

I think it's very good. I didn't believe that one could do a good guitar remake of that tune but I like it. Thumbs up!!

[Spitfirebird]

Somebody needs to death growl the lyrics that Yahtzee made for this song.

[masterplusmargarita]

@Spitfirebird Oh, that damned Yahtzee. Spoiled an amazing song for me. Now I can't stop myself from (hearing him sing/singing myself) whenever I hear the original version.

His lyrics were pretty damn funny though.

[truckracers1]

@masterplusmargarita I agree.

[epicgeorge]

Very well done, but did you have to shift to minor? I would have rather it been the same.

[Spitfirebird]

96 people had their faces melted.

[GranTruismo4head]

ISay this Theme Rocks My Ass you can flame me all you want but its Fucking Epic and I belive in Jim Cook All Hail JIM Cook: Lord of Deus Ex may he Roam Youtube 4ever more

[Hellstormer91]

Good work on actually arranging it but I agree with the others, some parts need to be in tune a bit more and you need to do a bit more work on the chords mainly for the bass part of it. The melody is fine but the chords for the bass part don't flow as well as the original pieces did. Maybe bring some notes/chords up a couple of tones.

[Svarcik92]

FCUk IT KILLS ME :xXXXXXXXXX

[DarthM4lak]

i think guitar kills it. It's meant to be synthesizer or orchestral even, but this does not work as metal. It ruins the feeling.

[Jackal180]

Your fifth string is tuned down half a note too far.

just sayan

[wonShroom]

(sorry for language errors)

There is many coments like "Tune your guitar properly", i noob in music questions, can someone give a sample for "good" playing music same as that? very interesting

[commissarusa]

@wonShroom

No. Because it's not our job to play guitar. But if you make a video of you playing a guitar, it's generally accepted that you make some kind of pact with the viewer that you will play it right or right-ish.

[DOOMDRAGON2251]

Awesome!

[coinage23]

Well done!

[RoarinPanda]

Jesus tune the guitar

[krinokk]

Nice guitar

[DanielTheRaap]

Awesome!

@EmpyrealWraith  stfu!

[Mropticalgreen]

maybe you should try getting a job

[Rhethion]

I really hope my penis doesn't go crazy and try to kill one of my balls...

[dos4gw82]

Harmony is wrong.

[MishterSmiley]

Who the fuck wouldn't like this?!Assuming they'd played DE

I HAVE NANOBOTS :O

[TotalHalibut]

@MishterSmiley Those whose hearing is augmented. It's out of tune, the haromies are not properly put together, it's as simple as that.

[MishterSmiley]

@TotalHalibut

Hahaha, that was amusing, touché! 

[TES4OB]

Love this mate. Very good tribute to Deus Ex!

[Jiigara]

@EmpyrealWraith

What a shame.

[nateman742]

@EmpyrealWraith

The real problem here is that the theme uses SO MANY violins to capture that epic orchestral feel, and you absolutely cannot capture that on guitar the way it's being played. I don't hear anything wrong with it, He's just going for the middleground.

You obviously don't listen to a lot of metal if you don't like the way the guitar sounds.

[deathhound7]

I think I just cummed in my pants/

[afaultytoaster]

a guitars a bad choice for close range combat

[TNSFE]

@afaultytoaster What? You mean L4D2 lied to me?

I feel so... betrayed.

[atlantiswolf]

@afaultytoaster The NSF guards with their skulls bashed in over there would have to disagree with you.

[Phishf00d]

@afaultytoaster Not in left 4 dead 2 ;)

[thehumanbirdie]

@Foxwolfofpain

JC= epic

Alex= eh

Adam= HOLYFUCKINSHITAWESOME

lol all the games protagonist xD

[JMRG2992]

this is awesome also nice distorsions you got an RP 90 isn't ? 

[GranTruismo4head]

THis is Epic I have your Album Jim Cook and it is Turthfully Epic I enjoy this track aswell as Goldeneye and Song of Storms

[HoosierMF]

It's only slightly off key. Apart from that this is awesome!

[UtopiaV1]

I fuckin love this version of the Deus Ex themetune, guitar sounds great and it still has the atmosphere of the game. Good job mate!

[maarten390]

i wanna be JC Denton when i grow up and work with flatlander womans and some laputan machines.

[Alex15Shinra]

@maarten390

*mean while in USA NY*

Anne: How did you know!

*Mean while in germany*

Herrman: AM NOT A MECHINE!

[Microchaton]

what they said, pretty much. Tune dat

[Mropticalgreen]

What a rotten way to play

[BTLarrity]

@Mropticalgreen

That was a good intro.... What a rotten way to tune.

This made me spill my drink!

[Akanoid85]

@BTLarrity

You seeld my drink!:)) The most perfect game what I ever played:))

[Akanoid85]

@BTLarrity

You speled my drink!:)) The most perfect game what I ever played:))

[predatorx687]

Tune that guitar, fucker.

[ThePJK]

what a shame

[IcarusXFnord]

WHY DEAR GOD WHY?!

[Cyb3rstorm]

Tune the guitar and it will sound great.

[Schlambor]

It's a pity, that the rhythm guitar didn't correspond with the original atmosphere, it kinda broke the feeling... Otherwise it sounds great, and the detuned lead isn't so bad :)

[kamtem97]

I love metal :)

[ssdarknight]

WTF? Haven't you realized that the lead guitar was out of tune?

[DOOMDRAGON2251]

@ssdarknight it sounds fine damn it!!!

[ssdarknight]

@DOOMDRAGON2251 Maybe you have no ear.

[DOOMDRAGON2251]

@ssdarknight yes i do iam a f@ckin bass player (not for this band that made the song)

[ssdarknight]

@DOOMDRAGON2251 Congratulations!

[Bhethar]

Heck its AWESOME !

Thanks for sharing dude !



[SatyreIkon]

Nothing tops the original, but this is actually quite good ... somehow ...

[wonShroom]

reminds Duke Nukem intro music somewhy

[wonShroom]

it's very high difference with original ... but without it ... not bad) sorry for my broken english

[BillYiOn1]

While I love this concept and voted like for the video, and the music is good, but the tune..... Oh man if the guitar was in tune, this would be beast.

[FatalNovaKain]

tbh i dont think the origonal can be improved.

[clayd666]

I like how everyone posting here doesn't understand the concept of detuning.

[imhiggins]

what a shame...

[Cassavius]

The lead guitar is really out of tune which makes this very, very unpleasant...

[CtrlAltCorrupt]

I play guitar too, but you all need to quit your bitching.

[JCDenton095]

not a bad work agent. but sorry, to me better the normal, but very good

[StakerSen]

I think ya'all need to calm down... It's in tune.

[phlogios]

oh god the horrible tuning... ARE YOU DEAF?

[WalkingDead6six6]

honestly i cant tell if its out of tune or not, either way it still sounds great!

[TheCrimsonRooster]

Needs more tweedly treble guitar, and for fuck's sake tune please.

[IronMetl]

the instrumental of deus ex main theme is great! so this is so coooooool! can u send me link for a tabs!

[ONNIHOLTTA]

This is pretty cool if you played the guitar all by yourself wow, I quite disagree with some of the others

[lacktheknack]

It's not the guitar that needs fixing... the background accompaniment sounds off somehow.

Totally great idea though.

[DOOMDRAGON2251]

the guitar is fuck bad ass!

[Hammerman24]

I'm not good with guitars but I thought this was great. Seriously all of you bitching "WAAAH IT'S OUT OF TUUUUUNE." Really need to shaddup.

[Slaanash]

@Foxwolfofpain JC isn't popular. What a shame.

[FrostStorm]

You seriously should have tuned your guitar. This sounds like shite..

[WilltehGreat]

There's a difference between out of tune and incorrectly tuned.

And it's only out by a little bit. The octave drop compared to the original I find more jarring.

[TheBlueChocobo]

I find it funny how people seem to keep bitching that it's out of tune.

if music is about creativity then why shoul d you play it in just that one way?

It then destroys the creativity of it in my opinion.

Doesn't matter how it's played, as long as it sounds good.

And even then, people have different taste's, so if you don't like it, don't slag it off.

Just walk away and go listen to something you do like.

[KoolKluxKlan666]

@TheBlueChocobo You're a fucking idiot.

Guitar in question isn't out of tune. It's just not the same tuning as the other guitar because the guy that did this is a fucking moron.

[TheBlueChocobo]

@KoolKluxKlan666 Thanks for proving my point.

[TotalHalibut]

@TheBlueChocobo Oh please, what the fuck is this 'creative' bullshit. I suppose you want to drive your car with only 3 wheels because y'know, it's creative. It does not sound good unless you are a tone-deaf, it's that simple. Objective fact. If you think it sounds good, you are tone-deaf and no-one with any musical background would say that it's ok not to tune your guitar in a track like this.

[TheBlueChocobo]

@TotalHalibut It's music, you don't need logic to play it. And cars can be driven on three-wheels, it's just not a preferable method due to weight imbalance and it's also shitty at turning corners due to the possibility of flipping over should you turn too fast/hard.

There is a diffirence between music and driving a car and you don't really seem to think so. 'Kay thanks.

[TotalHalibut]

@TheBlueChocobo "It's music, you don't need logic to play it. " - I stopped reading here. You have no understanding of music theory. There's little point discussing music with such a blatant novice.

[TheBlueChocobo]

@TotalHalibut I'll note this down as a win for me. G'day sir.

[SPARTANN09]

@TheBlueChocobo I'm going to have to agree with TotalHalibut here; you do need logic to play music. Yes, I definitely agree that creativity is more important than knowing how to read notes, but after you play for a while, you naturally pick up on music theory; what harmonies fit what, how to jam etc.

You use logic (and mathematics, actually) when playing music all the time, ESPECIALLY when composing. As I said: creativity is important... But so is tuning your guitar properly.

[DOOMDRAGON2251]

@TotalHalibut dude you are a fucking ass hole!

[UnoQueLlegaYDice]

Taking the orchestra away is a failure. Try mixing it also

[Al69Sharpton]

Holy fuck this is out of tune as fuck. Hurts my ears.

[PRINCEJONEZY]

got tabs??

[PirateNaziZombie]

@Foxwolfofpain He is kinda dull. "OH MY GOD JC, A BOMB!"

"A bomb."

[PRINCEJONEZY]

@PirateNaziZombie

yeah I guess but it was the voice actor though the character is more along the line of a silent badass protagonist xD the voice actor just plane sucked

[Galgamemnon]

That is so out of tune its pitiful :[

[Xtortion1337]

@Galgamemnon Did it ever occur to you it's supposed to be lower than the original?

[Liberykiller]

Don't forget the nameless System Shock 1 Hacker and System Shock 2 Grunt, they were the OTHER cybernetically augmented heros of the time, but no sweet lines, besides the Grunt's at the end of SS2

[CaptainAwful]

We cannot forget our roots good sir, without Mario, would JC even be?

[Chandu83]

@CaptainAwful I have to agree with you there, but an Italian overweight plumber in mushroom land is more popular than JC?

[CaptainAwful]

@Chandu83 Certain people just don't get it, not to say we're some sort of superior beings mentally, some people aren't into the same things, where as you have pretty much every American child who knows who Mario is, and most adults, it's the only game they know of besides Tetris. Nobody questions the quality, popularity has nothing to do with quality. (mario is a good geam tho xd)

[tomanton]

@Foxwolfofpain JC is witty and intelligent, but suffers from very very stale personality. blame the matrix that came out a year earlier and made bad actors in trenchcoats cool.

[fleeeza]

nice effort but i think it needs a better bass track

[PvtRichardCranium]

This is awesome.

[TheDominoDecree]

Sloppy, basic and that guitar tune is painfull. Doesn't nearly do the original justice.

[gmiwoj]

i like it. and because i cant even tell if your guitar is or isnt tuned i dont give a fuck. i still like it. though since it its deus ex theme it could be played by modulated farting and would i still like it.

[RenegadePronoun]

@gmiwoj This is exactly my opinion lol -- verbatim

[RenegadePronoun]

@gmiwoj This is essentially my exact opinion, you opinion thief XD

[GayCommander5]

I think you missed the atmosphere of the theme and your guitar isn't in Tune.

[davidparkinson2007]

Not that i play any instruments or have any talent whatsoever..

But that could of been better

[mysteriousDSF]

an advice: find out what the bassline is and play that with the rhythm guitar, not the melody. it will fix this cover.

[Ocsi1988]

\m/ Deus Ex rocks! \m/

[tempac91]

Meh, does not do it for me.

[bauerctu4]

IT'S SO GREAT!

[Adjuni]

Hmm... Work on it a bit. Not bad but it could be better.

Worth Watching

[darkerrapture]

What a shame...

[R0nin519]

Chords in the back don't go well with the melody at all.

[danobaka]

oh god that's WELL out :( ouch

10/10 for the idea but tune your guitar please

[riceboy287]

lol i always get stuck when i reached the part in china

[harlequin2262]

@riceboy287

Yeah, Hong Kong is a pretty confusing place. How far did you get? Did you explore Magi Chow's appartment? That was the part I sort of stalled on. Once you find the secret area, the plot continues.

[juliuslima]

man you should put this song and show you playing that it's amazing. very good work!

[orvar2k]

keep working dude:D

[headphonesleash]

Hahaha you're as good as any of the high-end producers. That's for sure... Very amusingly bad! :)

[0TripleHelix0]

because JC is not really a character. He has cool lines like "bravery is not a function of firepower." but he is essentially a blank slate by design, he expresses no emotion or character because you're supposed to transpose your thoughts, preferences and emotions onto him, which is conducive to immersion.

[Porgos]

This is a very good attempt, but it's completely out of tune, sometimes it even sounds funny...

[CeDTheGecko]

Still pick anyday this game from the bookshelf and play it through another 3 times unlike deus ex 2 that game i played only once and then it has been just gathering dust and i pray to god that deus ex 3 won't be such a flop or won't be cancelled

[JohnRawman]

Nice work on the melody but not a good choice of accords on the rhythm guitar if you ask me. But still nice work.

[Xaederaz]

PLEASE! Tune your lead guitar....

[jsnake91]

@Xaederaz

Dood, it's downtuned for a reason.

[Xaederaz]

Being downtuned is one thing, being Out of tune is another.

I have my guitar in tune, C standard.

C, F, A#, D#, G, C. It's another tuning than E standard, but it's still in tune. Which this lead guitar is NOT.

[jsnake91]

@Xaederaz

Never noticed it, but now I see what ur saying, lol. You got good ears o_O

[Xaederaz]

@jsnake91

Haha, thanks ^^

[Toastget]

@Xaederaz You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish. Unless of course, you play bass.

[xkevinc]

@Foxwolfofpain

Possibly because Deus Ex doesn't have a lot of popularity?

[willyrotten]

ohhhhhhh siii me corro de gusto na mas k de excucharlo uauajajajajja!!

[AichiPL]

Can you give me tabs for it? I like it, and i want to play it too!

[Rocketlauncher00]

This is a good remix, but some things just shouldn't be metal. This sounds awkwardly out of place, sry.

[jsnake91]

@Rocketlauncher00

What?! This sounds rad!

[Rocketlauncher00]

Well, you are of course entitled to your opinion, but i still like the orchestrated version better. BETTER. that does not imply that this remix is bad. it is, as i already said, good. It just seems out of place to me.

[jsnake91]

@Rocketlauncher00

Fair enough! :D :D :D

[MoyaMike]

Very cool!

[joshuachadtheze]

i had problems with tuning myself it sounds really bad in drop d

[MagnumJoe]

Very good.

But rhythm guitar chords should be those notes.

You should work on that.

[SergeantJWhite]

sounds too flat or sharp.

[KurtonTheMagician]

Tune. Your. Guitar.

[MGlBlaze]

My thoughts exactly.

[dekondr]

Не знаю кто такое это дэус экс, но тема прикольная cool

[gufu1992]

Так. Руки в ноги и бегом в магазин за игрой, блин. Классику пропускать нельзя.

[jsnake91]

@gufu1992 "Thus. Hands into the feet and running into the store after the game, the pancake. Classics cannot be passed." ????? I translated your russian, and this is what I got...

[gufu1992]

The fuck you used for translation? What I told him, is that it is a classic that can't be missed - so get to the damn store, right now, and GET IT!

[PencilShank]

If you used babble fish then it will come out like that. For Spanish it will confuse words like can to a can o tuna.

[Zpmawd]

After 0:16 the theme really picks up.

[mannisto93]

this isn't bad, but nothing beats the original theme ;)

[rushnerd]

What a shame...

[fartx211]

it would be awesome if you did one for tetris

[fartx211]

i thought this was pretty good

[ablaaa]

The backing guitar does not fit at all. You should have made it to match.

[Xegethra]

i rekon the whole thing could have been a little heavier...

[3521jgil]

That's awesome!

[Serbpride4lif]

This sounds insane! love it just as i do the actual theme of Deus Ex.. :D

[WalkingDead6six6]

i think this sounds damn good, I like how Jimmeh02 threw his own style in the rhythm. Whats the point of making a cover if its going to sound the same as the original?

[BeyondInfinium]

The lead's fine, it's the rhythm that needs fixing. Use the same scale. .

[TeamFortressHeavy]

agh. whenever i hear this theme i keep hearing Yahtzee's lyrics for it XD

[MiracleKD18]

I love Deus Ex and Metal but this cover is just.... not soo good....

Seriusly, I love the idea of combining Deus Ex's cyberpunk sci-fi and dark style (DX theme) with Duke Nukem's coolness (heavy metal)... But come on.

The lead guitar is realy out of tune. Fix it, and this song will be awesome.

[shadowofhowland]

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between the deus ex theme and the x-men cartoon theme?

[eatkeniii]

feels a little flat i cant put my finger on it it just doesnt really feel liek it has any real feeling behind it

[dermuneus]

the origanal is more sharp and i would of liked it sharper

[SonEsmonduu]

You thick cunts, the guitar is tuned down a half step. It's done is lots of rock and metal to give a more punchy tone.

Now go die in fire.

[MGlBlaze]

Fantastic until 0:15. It would be great if you could correct the fact that the lead (is it lead?) guitar was playing really flat most of the time. It sounds good at some points, but if you could fix it, this would be epic.

[Freecell82]

Maybe it helps that I really don't know much about music, but it sounds fine to me.

[Chandu83]

Brilliant work! I listen this to a lot.
