I have always believe that game music has the greatest and most memorable melodies ever so i was just thinking "i want to hear what these songs would sound like, played by real instruments, in a metal kind of way, without butchering the song of course..."

so yes, I am in the market for:
a guitarist (or two... but since it would be an album, i only need one... but two would be sick because i owuld love to play atleast one live show)
drummer (you must be able to play power metal style galloping double bass and the likes, although i have a drummer in mind...)
and most importantly... a SYNTH player. yes, i NEED a synth player in order to retain that video game feel and atmosphere... plus driving synth lines fucking rule.

so please... anyone that would be interested in getting together to practice about 40-50 minutes worth of video game music, for an album (which i have a studio to record at) please get in touch with me somehow

Right now I'm downloading Megaman 2, Ninja Gaiden, the live video of Megaman 2, and the live audio for Ninja Gaiden.



toggletoggle post by retzam at Aug 18,2004 12:14pm
Whoa, the Ninja Gaiden one is awesome.

Whoa man!! Airman is in the Megaman 2 one. I've always wanted to hear instruments do this.



toggletoggle post by retzam at Aug 18,2004 12:20pm
Fuck, at the part where it goes crazy they just kind of make instrument noise.

no... it hasnt... the minibosses are mediocre and their drummer blows as well as their bassist having the shittiest bass tone ever. they also play all of the songs in the same tempo... i mean... wily stage 1 from MM2 is like half the speed it is in the game. i want to do a true to the original METAL cover of music... and not even just NES... genesis, SNES, playstation, ps2, saturn, dreamcast, neogeo... blah blah blah... i hate all of these game bands only doing nintendo. fuck them.

oh... and mm2 wily stages 3-5 would sound nasty with real instruments.

I wish I was a better guitarist, I would totally do it.



toggletoggle post by Blue  at Aug 18,2004 9:02pm
NESkimos are cool, but they got a horrible guitar sound.

Yes!! That game is really really awesome, but it does get old. However, yes, the soundtrack is great, I especially like the song for the boss fights.

well if you think about it dragonforce is the original video game metal band, they say "we started playing together because of video game music the melodies kicked ass so we drew infleuence from that.

shaniqua is way down we've been practicing "dear mario this is your brother luigi" lyrics= "mario is a fucking cunt, mario is a fucking slut..." it's a medley of all the songs from SMB 1,2,and 3. drums, keyboards, guitars. weve also got metroid, kid icarus, dragon warrior, ghosts and goblins, zelda 1 & 2 plus many more. check out "estradasphere" they do the jazz fusion video game covers.
