Can't wait for OC's Mavericks Rising album which i hear is coming out by April, so psyched about it!

Listened to the previews, lots of metal!

[plasmawave]

Hey man, this is a kickass version! I like it =). Awesome guitar player!

[Day1Freak]

awesommeeee~~ ohohohoo

[BadAngelV1]

Hey ! I've seen his videos again and again a long time ago... and now i'm returning :). Housethegrate, you'll always be awesome as hell ! And i'm really curious on how d'he get that jazzy, spanish modulation ? Is he using phrygian dominant scale ?

Anyway, it's so smooth that my ear are dreaming

[AndrosAM01]

I listened to the MP3 for the first time in a while and had a BLAST. I've got to learn this. You rock house, keep livin the dream.

[LKH9]

So, you're the artist! I got this music MANY years ago from Ocremix. Now only to find the video of you doing it! I love this. *****

[WHATISUTUBE]

I like how the songs kicks in after your little information/intro in the beginning.

[Bullet1852]

2:14 love this part (actually 0:01 - 3:02 )

[CrazyAlexTrebek]

Housethegrate is by far my favorite guitarist. I love his music, and it's by far my favorite to play. I always use it to brush up on my sweep picking. I only wish i hadn't lost my Madara tabs... anyway, House, you rock, can't wait to hear more from you.

[housethegrate]

Don't worry boys, there's plenty more music coming from yours truly. I just have to work out some computer issues. I'm planning to build a new website also, as I simply didn't have the money to pay for my old one anymore.

[GODIGY]

I can't wait dude.  You have my blessings!!!!

[misterchun]

I completely understand, man. Financial stability comes first haha. Good luck with everything, and I can't wait to hear the new stuff!

[zan314]

@housethegrate

I'm thankful for this, because when I went onto your website and found that it was down, I was saddened greatly (lol or was it... Grately? :3) I was rather curious as to where you got your name from as well. Any explanation on that topic? And what those curious symbols were on your cd? I thought they looked neat, but a tad confusing because I wasn't sure what, indeed, they were supposed to represent. Reminds me of a clock, but not normal numbers... if I remember correctly.

[somacruzfirm]

@housethegrate That's good to read man O:

[misterchun]

Still my absolute favorite track you've ever done. I miss the rush of downloading new tracks off of your website. But at least I've got like what, 40? Hope you're doing well and still doing music, man. :)

[Wolfshadow6]

That is freaking sweet stuff right there man!! Anybody who can give MMX the love it deserves via rockin' guitar skills = 5stars and a fav!

[juggalunk]

Dude Alex bro you are an amazing guitarist! I love watching your video's. :) Keep up the work.

[megaman616]

is he the guy from ocremix?

[cyrius666]

He is

[GallopingConch]

Balls man how does he do this? I love this guy. It's funny too, he only uses his pinky when he needs to, otherwise it's curled off to the side.

[Maccam16]

I noticed that too, maybe he's doing it to conserve pinky stamina. 8-) House is amazing, I watch his videos every so often and they're always as good as I remember. He even has a groovy piano solo in another vid, very talented.

[housethegrate]

I had a few other people mention that when I first made these videos. I've definitely tightened up the control I have over my fingers since then. I should never have been playing this fast in the first place without having solid form.

[GallopingConch]

Ha. I do the same thing anyways, I'm really not too good at using my pinky except when I need it, otherwise it's curled off to the side, that's the only reason I really noticed is because I do it all the time.

[youtub3r5651]

hey what happened to your website?

[Grmo19]

@housethegrate I actually had a lot of trouble with that last year too, and actually ended up injuring my arm because my playing wasn't solid enough to support that speed. Coincidentally, one of the songs I was having trouble with in that regard was this song. Honestly, it's true that the playing is rough, and the amp sounds kind of weak, but it's really, really good playing. Creative, expressive, clearly composed by a good guitarist. (Running out of space now) Hope to see more from you soon.

[GreatJuja]

Man, as if the Sigma Fortess part wasn't bad ass enough by itself, ending it with Dr. Light's capsule music made it even better.

[gladeplugins]

Damn, I didn't even know this video existed until I posted your song. =/

[javier7high]

HOLY SHIT!!! i have no words for ur performance man. u are exellent. and ur saying "i know" right now lol

[ihasmario]

Still a fav of mine. Actually prefer this to the studio version :P

[arunmnair]

And for the record, Steel Reserve is gross.

[janusx3]

algun dia yo tambien alcansare esos niveles, estoy seguro0o!! perfect!!

[1Ryondo]

no offense to your skills or anything but how can you call it your album when its just of bunch of music your covering? like wierd al but atleast he adds his own spin on things i guess but whatever sells i guess

[housethegrate]

You're obviously well informed. Thanks for the feedback.

[1Ryondo]

your OBVIOUSLY black

[housethegrate]

actually, i drink 40s of steel reserve. so yes, i'm 100% black.

[1Ryondo]

steel reserve tastes like piss that a horse shot into a 40 year old cowboy boot and was left in the sun for a millenia

[LooChenko]

I guess that makes me black too. lol Rock on forever house!

[ukingsken]

@housethegrate You're just the man sir. Cover or not you're arrangements are always an excellent/fresh feel for tunes we love and remember from our childhoods.

[arunmnair]

Well, it's like a cover band... =\

Either way, I believe all his music is free downloadable from his website-- so he's just playing stuff he likes.

[1Ryondo]

whatever i dont care anymore I just get aggravated when people redo things that have been done before. Not only music but movie remakes and such. And I hate it when people say stuff like, your well informed or do some research, not everyone is gonna have a stack of research its called an outside point of views assholes lol

[LooChenko]

Hey Ryondo, I dont think anyone is disrespecting your opinion (well, maybe the your black comment). I totally agree with you about people remaking old music and movies because a lot of people do a shitty job of it. house isnt one of them.

[1Ryondo]

anyone, who already has been playing music, can cover. Ive never been able to see the diffrence between a good cover and a bad cover. Except for really obvious ones. But oh well i dont really care anymore good conversation though.

[cyrius666]

It isn't 'covering' a song when you transcribe it. You're just a douche, I don't see videos of you doing this shit/

[remixedbrain]

i don't remeber those guitar solos, tempo changes, and drum breaks in the original. sorry, but thats more than enough to qualify for being a cover.

[dim3tapp]

1Ryondo, you're retarded. Playin a different version of the same song started a loooong time ago. Take a look at jazz. How many recordings of Giant Steps by John Coltrane are there? First off you have to be incredibly skilled to improvise on that song, second off, there's a reason it's called a 'standard'. You can't sit there and say people that are playing a different version of the same song suck. It's just music's been dummed down so much that there's no variety. House adds that for sure.

[youtub3r5651]

i think i speak for everyone else who's gonna read your comment by saying.... you're an idiot.

[chabicouinlecanard]

Simply amazing, I downloaded your song from ocremix last year and had it on my ipod. Your arrangement from 1:56 to 2:32 is as good as Santana stuff. It's a real pleasure to watch you play it thx.

[Z3rordi3]

House = God

[nabvi]

FUCKIN' YAAA!!!

[InvisibleGuest]

Great !! Got to hear this on Overclocked remix a while back ,can finally put a face to that cool tune!!

[1337117J]

Oh yeah man Seized With Fury is amazing ! The slow part always reminds me of Carlos Santana !

[youtub3r5651]

PLEASE POST A VIDEO OF SEIZED WITH FURY!!! its my favorite arrangement by you, especially the slow interlude in the first half of the song!!!

[corrupted99]

You are amazing. I'd pay a lot of money to see this live.

[pINOYUSERNAME]

I never get tired of watching this. Fucking awesome.

[xRisingForcex]

You look uncannily like the dude from Wolfenstein 3D.

Jokes aside though, this really brings back some memories man.  Great song, awesome interpretation, superb execution.

[GameSlut]

Don't listen to that goddamned liar, the long hair was the sexiest thing ever

Also you rule I love you

[the1and0abd]

where do i get the tabs for this?

[InnkeeperX]

I love this song. Has one of my all time fav guitar solos in it - evah! :)

[Celestialtears006]

dude you look so much better with short hair ..and nice play here!

[Aslan222]

its amazing how you play so fast with your hand positioned like that

[simpilotdavid]

Thats just mean !

[andycockerill]

Absolutely amazing WANNA SEE MORE VIDS FROM YOU! *Walk on Water ;)*

[AndySan]

I can't wait to buy your CD (financial problems)

[WolfsOfTheWoods]

That was awesome!

You really got the soul of music!

[Chrono256]

You are the best guitarist ever, really.

I LOVE your solo in Stoof & Away is My Style. You're a God.

[spamtron]

We had a lot of fun making that song :]

[spamtron]

er, I'm a youtube noob. I was trying to reply to the chrono dude. 8)

Stoof & Away was really fun to work on. I had a blast collaborating with Eric and Alex.

anyway, this song rules.

team ice for the win

[Chrono256]

Yeah! I want to listen "team ice" again. :D That collaboration was fantastic.

[felonious83]

are we ever going to see a "seized with fury" vid? that song is epic, easily one of the greatest vg arrangements i've ever heard. keep it up, bro.

[zepheadeeme]

BWOOOAAAH!

[housethegrate]

Hahahhaha.

don't thumbs down the bwooaah

[housethegrate]

@zepheadeeme It's extremely trippy that this is the top rated comment on this video. It's something I used to say all the time, and I would write it below this silly face drawing that I often did.

[zepheadeeme]

@housethegrate i have a silly drawing you made with BWOOAAH below it, it was between your albums sleeve notes when I bought one

[housethegrate]

@zepheadeeme Hahahah, now I remember doing that. I tried to send a personal note with every CD but I must have only sent one or two with that drawing. Thanks again for being one of the people to order the album!

[Metalltool]

nice work man! one of my favorite tunes of all!

actually a good idea to put dr. rights theme at the end it kind of matched.

really well played.

[CpxAzn]

would be awesome if you also release the powertab version

[housethegrate]

Although I wrote the tabs in Powertab, I didn't bother to use accurate timing. That would have taken way longer. So the Powertab file would be no more effective than the .tab file.

[SithTravy]

I'm having trouble finding the tab for this song on the website. Could you direct me or send me the tab please?

Also, you did a great job on this song.

[SithTravy]

Ignore that, I found it.

[megaori2]

I didn't expect to see this on here.

Awesome cover.

[housethegrate]

The album is not downloadable. But I think $10 + free shipping is reasonable for fully pressed artwork, remastered cuts, and new tracks.

[stonerodger]

is ya albm Dloadble?

[stonerodger]

BRILLIIIANNNNOTOTOOOOOOOOOO!! lovve mega man X ^^

[alucardvonbelmont]

Oh u are just good man¡¡¡¡ What part of my body must I give in order to play like you, dude? What an amazing song¡¡¡

[housethegrate]

Alright, I finally did it. The tab for this song is at housethegrate dot com.

[airy0sh1]

I'm sorry for asking, but do you think you'll ever write up Tabs for this song, like you did for the other song?

[housethegrate]

Yes, I will probably write a tab for this sometime soon. I can't guarantee it, though.

[Maverick21xx]

Just f**king awesome. No words can explain how "grate" this is... Keep up the great work, you have my support!

[FallenTabris]

Err. and by that I meant I'm buying it, not that I've made a CD as good as yours.

[FallenTabris]

Oh lordy, I creamed my pants again. Your CD is as good as mine.

[1stClassSoldier]

You should do Beamsabre beat V2 =]

[Rodolfin]

there's is no words about this, fantastic!!!, MARVELOUS

[Calgore71]

What makes this guy amazing is when he adds his own parts in it, that actually work well. I am amazed

[KIFulgore]

You make me want to toss my guitar out the window man, lol. Awesome, awesome stuff. I need to stop by DoD again, and start voting!

[Azndriftrdude]

hella tite

[Chubster98]

I HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING!!! no wait, thats housethegrate...AWESOME! type megaman in the search at ultimate-guitar.com. lots of tabs, thats how i learned to play them. its much better if you get powertab so make sure you do!

[devilboy666x]

you're god!!

[DarknessTear]

Wouldn't that make you his enemy?

[JebusIscariot]

Fucking epic.

[Mekanos2k]

I tabbed the original song, but this is a awesome remix, that solo next to the original song roxx.

[swordofdawn]

sweet! looking forward to the new album sir.

[KirbyPufocia]

I ROVE YOU RONG TIME, AREX. Seriously man, this song gets better every time I hear it.

[gamecousy]

You are bad ass.. I seen that Castlevania 3 and you my friend are a god in my eyes.. Im am most def. gunna buy your CD.. All bow for HouseTheGrate.
