[asylum414]

BREAAKK

[mayydaymurda]

I can play Pokemon to this shit.

[jojosnowball]

8-bit breakdowns <3



[RVBDeathbot]

this is amazing. kudos to whoever the fuck made this!

[1010Bass]

I think you should have made the other guitar part after 1:20 louder.

[acidbath32]

haha the more lofi the quality is the better it makes lo fi and other midi sound

[GECKHACKSALOT]

@acidbath32 lofi? wtf...

[acidbath32]

@GECKHACKSALOT haha sorry was refering to the 240p comment

[4321IronMaiden]

@RuthlessBooboo man I don't know about you but I get manly tears at that part

[RuthlessBooboo]

i dont know about you guys, but i screamed out the "and if we cant even trust ourselves, how can we trust anyone else!" part. 

[TallestFiddle]

this version is better because you don't have to hear those piss ass vocals

[TicalWave89]

@TallestFiddle EXHALE BLOOD

[funkyhoboman]

0:34-0:36 sounds like Mario is going on a block breaking rampage

[2Kakor]

@funkyhoboman hahaha

[BTBAMsean]

240p makes it sound more 8bit

[Joelmeyer1221]

@BTBAMsean Truth



[GECKHACKSALOT]

@BTBAMsean euuhhhh not so much :L

[GriffenX]

1:03 gives me shudders. the chorus sounds amazing. i think this version should be mixed in with the original song. it'd give it a much fuller sound.

[ThisGuy2505]

Out of all the 8-bit videos this is the best one!

[WillyBumm]

The double bass and blasts beats sounds so fucking badass!!!

[thecheesewizard]

pooping amazing!

[redsN64]

Going on a "Super Smash T.V." rampage, brb.

[shackisdown1]

this is actualy awsome!

[bones1343]

bowser's badass theme

[Knung]

0:40 .... BREATHE

[sikkpopsicle94]

hardcore mario

[rutherk1g]

I always though metal and 8 bit NES music were similar. I guess this proves it.

[Dylathyn]

Pokemon meats ''It's not safe to surf today''.. :3

[DJWILOM]

GAMING NINTENDO

[sakMFKR]

dude, they should make a black metal mario with music like this on it!

[sedman211]

Sweet shit. How do you make stuff like this anyway?

[Atticus246]

1:07 - 1:35 sounds like what they should play in the credits when you beat the hardest rpg on nes

[lolerz222]

@Atticus246 I think it would fit the final battle actually :P

[shawn123465]

i wanna make a old school video game with a soundtrack comprised of technical metal songs in 8 bit. If only this was possible...

[DrumsZackDrums]

MEGA MAN!!!!!!!!

[Wancho777]

jajajjajaja this would be perfect for the BATTLETOADS Game !!

[adirtygaspump]

@Wancho777

If you're going to make a reference to you know what, at least spell "haha" right you fucking spic.

[TrafalgarRemains]

love that 8 bit breakdowns :D:D:D:D:D

[myudasdaksjd]

LOL 0:26

[SylarTheBest]

Wow that china sucks

[MrIKTPQ4life]

Apparently, Deadmau5 and Veil of Maya did a collaboration.

[LinkParkEffect]

@MrIKTPQ4life I'm sorry but Deadmau5 doesn't do 8-bit music.

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@LinkParkEffect Dude, it was a joke.

[LinkParkEffect]

@MrIKTPQ4life i know and im retarded. :(

[pnh666]

SO SMOOTH

[TeeezyTee]

Blast bits!

[666OTAKU666]

@TeeezyTee Nice pun :p

[Phosis9]

Oh by the way I am totally using this to learn the feet work to this song. Lol.

[Phosis9]

It's okay if I listen to this more than the CD version, right? ..Right?

[MsHookerface]

1:02-1:35 just sounds so... Sad. Especially like this. It sounded kinda sad in the regular version, but it just sounds so emotional in this version. Its epic.

[Krosa747]

I'm SO pumped to play the regular nintendo now!

[MazzieTheRebel]

when i played this song, my ears exploded

but it was worth listening to this <33

[Kim2Sung]

One word to sum this all up: Castlevania (or Simon's Quest, whichever you prefer)

[DropLeviathanDrop]

@2:09 SHHHWEEEEP

[soundmind529]

this sounds like veil of super mario! awesome!

[theMastrgamr]

1:02 - 1:35 nuff said

imagine a mosh breaking out over this shit :O

[dirsta7]

thats right. no one dislikes this because its so beast. it sounds so tight. id use it in a war game haha

[mrconejoman]

this mad me happy :D

[rippingthroughmetal]

Dude, bands need to start doing this to some of their songs and releasing them. I'd totally jam to this!!!

[xplu7ox]

Yo for real if I got to listen to this shit back in the day playing Zelda, FFiV, Mario, or anything I woulda been a happy little prick lol

[GameKid98]

Mario riding a big, red dragon over a burning, hellish land and at the end he finds the castle where the princess is kept. :D

[porQpineavenger]

check out "a rotten bit" if you enjoy this, he's an artist who does metal covers and original songs with gameboys. It's pretty awesome

[Astrosharks]

Check out my channel for Orchestral versions of songs from bands like Born of Osiris, After the Burial and Veil of Maya, I only have a few right now, but I'd love to get some feedback on them :)

[idontcare009]

as soon as the blast beats started, i lol'd hard.

[auroravegas]

@idontcare009 wanna listen to something fresh and BAHHMB?! Look up our video for (Aurora- A New Order for an Ancient World) Legit metal band from Las Vegas, Guarantee youll enjoy it!

[choganskateboarding]

Fuckin hilarious blast beats!

[manuelo3]

this would have been tight to be the original mario theme. haha

[cipher619]

Eh, the blast beats are a little much

Its funny how deathcore sounds better as 8-bit than the original lol

[RyoDavis]

1:25ish to 1:35ish was my only complaint. I love the melody they play there and it's almost entirely muted out in this :(

Other than that, this is so fucking win

[HeyiMApArAdoXz]

hahaaa lmao i can play this song on real guitar but damn this shit is funny

[reckhead44]

:')

[xsarahsevenfoldx]

0:17 mario!

[WLUbeans]

I've been looking at these 8-bit metal covers for the last hour now... I'm amazed. I'm a metal fan anyways, but I think that this is a way for even non-metal lovers to appreciate the complexities and nuances in the melodies of this genre of music. Also, the crash in this song is sick.. hahaha.

[DeadSaiyan13]

This could totally go for metroid as well.

[cmcav1098]

guys this is in pokemon when you fight the gym leaders lol

[potatomonkeyrap]

this would make every video game awesomer. ME WANT DOWNLOAD

[gnarly2smooth]

[WiiPoop66]

[ImRickJamesBeeitch]

OH NOES! THE BREAKDOWN BOSS BATTLE!

[DrTabarnak]

[RAZBERT7]

[BonsayCow]

0:40 boss killed

0:55 oh no it's resurrected!

[demonicanimeangel]

@BonsayCow And throughout 40-55 your character is doing an epic win dance, then at 55 his face turns to a solid O_O

[Inhumanreaction]

[cky2k06]

[ThaJimster]

[skarekrowkomplex]

Dude, I headbanged so fucking hard to this!... No joke!

[GodTaoo]

[Power2theFlyingV]

You know what would be the perfect game for this song, Castlevania haha

[TheFactorOfFear]

@Power2theFlyingV or the boss battles in altered beast

[XDa7x4lifeXD]

how do you manage all this 8-biting? because i could have so much fun if i knew how to do it x]

[sickysong]

Amazing. just amazing.

[NoiseMaker231]

[californiazor]

[Glockfuck666]

[ozzzfreak]

MARIO-CORE!!

[KYamada416]

lmao sounds like gameboy

[ExistUNDRGROUND]

Hahahahaha

Blast beats don't sound right in 8-bit form.

0:26

[4whitesharpEz]

yea hahah it sounds too fast and the breakdown is crappy

[k1leadgeetah]

@ExistUNDRGROUND sounds like a guy running really fast in a nes game

[slajmkorn]

haha fucking awesome! this should be in a Mega Man game!

[wingeddemon5807]

i wish everyone would stop saying that about 8-bit remixes

[demonicanimeangel]

@slajmkorn I was thinking the same thing. Most epic last boss fight song ever.

[Octopium]

@slajmkorn Dude imagine that, i'd be like wtf!

[JurassicxJimmy]

@slajmkorn Hell yeahh. Megaman is the shit.

[Jonathansernel1]

@slajmkorn hahaha hell yeah!

[aguilaslove]

if only these were on the super mario game=/

[xXERINDALEXx]

Best 8-bit i've heard yet.

[lastdrawnbreath]

Angel Island: Act 1

[xbr00talxc0rex]

+47 internets, sir.

[chochoblunts]

@Cairnivore No it's not

[Cairnivore]

yaw it is. this is constructive criticism that it could be improved. not just insults. at 2:00, there are harmonies missing. at 1:04, rhythm guitar has 5th and 6th strings open, then 5th and 6th strings 12th fret. (disregarding rhythm)

compare it to the real track and youll see. i have studied this song and know it inside and out. im just saying that this 8 bit could be even better if everything were accurate

[Roybot06]

To be fair though, there are only so many tones you can play on an 8-bit maker. Due to the fact that it's only 8-bits, the MIDI (or whatever format compression) only allows certain amounts of channels playing only certain amounts of instruments and tones all at once.

Of course it could have been better, but if you're going to be constructive, know the craft in which you're critiquing. Twighlight's always got the goods when it comes to 8-bit covers.

[grizzlyadams53]

we don't care, really. we're just listening to the song. and we really, really don't care that you "studied" this song.

[Cairnivore]

we don't care that you don't care about my comment. and we really, really don't care that you dont care that i studied the song.

[grizzlyadams53]

CLEVER.

[midgetman251]

omg true greatness has arrived

[coheed123]

This is seriously so fucking sweet.

[Kaiohate]

amazing

what program do you use

[Cairnivore]

some of it is wrong tho. sorry. at the 2:00 part

[HXCPolarbear]

the blast beats are sooooo much win

[RedSchecterShredder]

that's fucking awesome. haha

[Blicere]

lol nice!

[wyrfxrssn]

This is really great. Keep up the good work!

[glovester]

wow, the begining breakdown sounds incred.

Do you compose and tab these out yourself!

[xTwilightxxPrincessx]

I just use GXSCC to convert the files to 8-bit.

[HisnameisIan]

Everytime I use it, and drag a music file to it, it says, "unknown file, cannot play"Any help?

[xTwilightxxPrincessx]

Are you using midi files?

[HisnameisIan]

How do i get midi files?

[xTwilightxxPrincessx]

I get them from Guitar Pro.

[Octopium]

@xTwilightxxPrincessx SAME!

[RedEviscerator]

@xTwilightxxPrincessx What's GXSCC

[Meeshdongles]

@xTwilightxxPrincessx I have the program but how do you convert the mp3 into a midi so that you can use it on GXSCC?

[J0hnTram]

YAY!
