RichaadEB DUDE THIS IS SO FUCKING EPIC! THE FIRST " SECONDS ALONE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS! Try doing the Iron Golem theme? I think that would be absolutely epic too.
"Prepare for trouble" "And make it double" "To protect the world from Dark's infestation" "To unit the people within Gwyn's nation" "Ornstein" "Smough"
This boss fight was so powerful for me. Smough and Ornstein compliment eachother greatly, and once one of them dies, the other knows exactly what to do. It seems to be a great duo of a boss battle that I won't soon forget.
After the first chord, I got the cold wave that comes with goosebumps and that coldness never left my body. My face is a permanent grimace. This song evokes such a physical reaction from me because fucking Ornstein and Smough. Good shit, man.
Some Golden Sun vibes are very strong (at 2:05 for example) Sakuraba style is so recognizable it becomes a very fun game to try to recognize echoes between his works in different games.
"Regrettably, I have failed in my mission... but perhaps you can keep the torch lit..." I insta-cried when I remembered where and who told you that quote.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Sun Bro yes well it’s seems I’ve run into quite the pickle yes your help would be splendid my good friend. Hmmm could try rolling hmmmmm no that would make my head spin. Hmmmmm...
Man...I love your sweep picking. The way it's so smooth and articulated; it's like watching a ballerina dancing with doves flying by in slow motion. Pretty cool cover btw ^^; lol
This was just awesome! It appeased my technical side with all the techniques you used and the melody sounded that much more intense I love this! Great job.
***** Oh for sure, dude! The Faceless, while not my favorite band ever, have definitely had an influence on how I play. Planetary Duality is such a good fucking album
OH GOD, THE FLASH BACKS OF 100,000,000 DEATHS TO ORENSTINE JUST FOR HIS ARMOUR! OMEGA SMOUGH AND HIS HAMMER THAT CAN HIT ME WITH PHANTOM RANGE! ALL THE HUMANITY USED TO SUMMON SUN BRO AND OTHER WHITE PHANTOMS, THE PAIN... THE AGONY.... THE HORROR OF HAVING TO FAT ROLL IN HAVEL'S ARMOR OH GOD NOOO
I just fought them in light gear with a black knight weapon so I could quick roll. Kill Ornstein first bc his mega form is way harder to dodge. If you do kill Smough first tho, stick close to Ornstein. Most his attacks go over your head if your close to his legs, so just watch out for the windup on his lightning area of effect attack
WHAT?! ANOTHER METAL COVER OF MY FAVORITE BOSS FIGHT IN DARK SOULS HISTORY?! SUBBED. P.S.: I'M CONTEMPLATING ON FINDING SOME TRACKS FOR MY CHANNEL, I MIGHT USE YOUR COVERS WITH YOUR PERMISSION MATE
This is brilliance. So, I was looking through your other videos/covers, and I'm surprised you don't have more Souls covers, but Bloodborne was definitely good to see, so, there's that. Ever think about doing metal covers for tracks from the Metal Gear and Final Fantasy franchises? Those two have very notable soundtracks as well, that are totally worth covering.
Dude great fucking job on this, it sounds amazing. If I were to recommend another song from the series to cover could you possibly cover the Belfry Gargoyles theme? Or from the Pokemon series, the battle music for fighting Red from Pokemon Silver?
Man this is sooo awesome, it makes me want to play dark souls again, and wither my soul while im at it lol. Any chance of making one of the final fantasy series metal cover, not one winged angel since its been delt with so many times, but a theme like final fantasy 4 main theme? It is my favorite theme out of them all. Not forcing ya, but just giving some ideas for future covers :)
+DoomDogDan666 if you timed your rolls and just went ham on them, it was easy enough. Getting to them was the pain :P 2handed greatsword. Smack smack, roll. Smack smack. Repeat
+DoomDogDan666 I just got my tankiest armor, ran up to them, and just went ham. It was actually really easy. Also don't summon Beatrice, she makes it harder by drawing the other kings.
COME ON AND SLAM
RichaadEB DUDE THIS IS SO FUCKING EPIC! THE FIRST " SECONDS ALONE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!
Try doing the Iron Golem theme? I think that would be absolutely epic too.
RichaadEB AND WELCOME TO THE JAM
RichaadEB you are actually the best, no joke. the best holy shit lmao.
RichaadEB Awesome. If you covered something from Ace Attorney, it would be godly.
Joko515 I second that he should cover the Iron Golem theme.
"Prepare for trouble"
"And make it double"
"To protect the world from Dark's infestation"
"To unit the people within Gwyn's nation"
"Ornstein"
"Smough"
I bet Smough appreciates the amount of hammer-ons. ;)
git rekt casul
"i liek taste semen" - u
ThunderScott clever ;)
Nailed it, dude.
holy shit, 7 years later and this is still the best comment ive seent
This boss fight was so powerful for me. Smough and Ornstein compliment eachother greatly, and once one of them dies, the other knows exactly what to do. It seems to be a great duo of a boss battle that I won't soon forget.
If you call smashing the dead body of your companion (Ornstein) without consideration 'compliment' then yeah Smough does compliment Ornstein too.
i'm having fucking dark souls vietnam war flashbacks right now. NG+. *MY GOD*
I had trouble with NG+3
Black Knight Great Axe makes it a breeze
Scummiest Egg lol, better start farming me...
I believe the ancient saying applies here git gud
Amazing cover ahead...
Be wary of amazing guitarist
Oreos and Smores are the Ornstein and Smough of the biscuit world.
+Helfire14 Oreostein and S'moughs
The amount of nicknames that duo has never ceases to amaze me.
What? Like 'Infinite pain and suffering'?
pikachu and snorlax is my favorite
Mine is the flash-MC hammer power combo.
I don't know why I bother wearing pants when watching your videos.
They're gonna get blown off, anyway.
+Helfire14 that's awkward
It's not awkward, it's just what happens naturally, it's nature.
Same
just take a glass of water.
Flashbacks triggered
and they aren't good ones, at least not for me
[+hunter goetz] haha, PTSD strikes again.
I’m a little late but yeah, no. This fight is the only fight I couldn’t beat first try on new game plus.
It’s like a ‘Nam flashback.
I'd mod my PC Dark Souls to play this version when I actually fight that boss.
Adam Ridley do it
I always found "The Faceless -Accelerated Evolution" to be very fitting for that boss fight, idk lol
+Adam Ridley how do you do that? i wanna do it too!
Star-power kicked in at about 3:04 and you owned. Crit!
Zach Burger
I hope you feel better soon, 'cause this shit was SO SICK!
I googled soul music like barry white, im still happy.
I live. I die. I live again!!!
Bonfire Keeper James
Get back to your fire! What the hell are you doing, leaving the bonfire unattended? Some poor undead’s going to put it out.
Where's my Estus, James?

Dude! Awesome! I can't image the inner-torment you must have suffered arranging this.
boozinwalsh so many layersssssssssssssssssssssssss

I insta-cried when I remembered where and who told you that quote.
Siegmeyer of Catarina approves this valiant tribute. Hmm... Hmmmmmmm...

I've been dreaming about metal covers of the Souls soundtracks for weeks...finally, the Internet has delivered.
... sweaty hands... Thanks, now my PTSD is back.
Dark souls PTSD. I know the terror
i know im a year behind, but seriously though, this comment is tooooooooo true

Bruh, your all wrong. Praise the almighty God-Head!
Praise the Dark Lord Sauron... wait, wrong lore.
That was unreal @5:10! So cool :)
GOOOOOOOD.
Was wondering how long it'd take to see this. Day is made.
Man, something about this cover just works so damn well. Those arpeggios everywhere...You've managed to capture everything. Amazing job!
Man...I love your sweep picking. The way it's so smooth and articulated; it's like watching a ballerina dancing with doves flying by in slow motion.
Pretty cool cover btw ^^; lol
That's ont of the most brilliant cover I have seen so far. Congratulation !
This was just awesome! It appeased my technical side with all the techniques you used and the melody sounded that much more intense I love this! Great job.
Revisiting Richaad's glorious cover on the 10th anniversary of this landmark game! Long live Dark Souls!
Ending riff. So dope.
That was amazing, as usual. Nice work, man!
Tsuko G. >6
RichaadEB 3567,349 < 3567,35 < 3567,351
+Tsuko G. You need to kazoo this. It would be AMAZING.
Whoo! TSUKO, MY MAN!!
J'hais mon lif
This is awesome! Fantastic work, mate!
caught your "sizzler" cameo @ Ace's. now this. 21st century schizoid man. Really good stuff, Rich!
Holy shit! Sounds like something straight out of Conquering Dystopia! Amazing stuff man! Incredible!
Paul Farrer That's quite the compliment! Thank you, sir!
Now that's what I'm talking about! I got a big Faceless vibe out of this man. You keep up coming and do not stop!
***** Oh for sure, dude! The Faceless, while not my favorite band ever, have definitely had an influence on how I play. Planetary Duality is such a good fucking album
That is definitely one of the most epic metal covers I've heard! Loved the original song, love this cover, it's PERF!
that was fucking tight man, holy shit \m/
Ferdk ty bruh
dose solos doe
This was epic, I loved those sudden but well incremented switches from straight- to triplet feel.
BillyTheBard11th that's actually a crazy polyrhythm. 15/4. Shit's wild.
RichaadEB
Oh damn. Well, it sounded good.
that's fucking amazing man. u make me love metal from this amazing metal translation of the masterful orenstin and smough boss music. gg man
Holy shit this is incredible! Loving the BTBAM shirt too.
Hey thanks for telling me you did this on my comment in the community tab, keep up the awesome work man!
Sweet cover dude, loved the sweeps :)
great cover ahead
Still the best Ornstein & Smough metal cover on YT
this is my new favorite thing
This sounds like something that belongs to Dethklok!
Fucking sweet man. I hope to see some other Dark Souls covers.
OH GOD, THE FLASH BACKS OF 100,000,000 DEATHS TO ORENSTINE JUST FOR HIS ARMOUR! OMEGA SMOUGH AND HIS HAMMER THAT CAN HIT ME WITH PHANTOM RANGE! ALL THE HUMANITY USED TO SUMMON SUN BRO AND OTHER WHITE PHANTOMS, THE PAIN... THE AGONY.... THE HORROR OF HAVING TO FAT ROLL IN HAVEL'S ARMOR OH GOD NOOO

Dark Souls FB page brought me here. Stoked it did! This is rad, man! Checking out your other covers as I write.
AHAH I found it. And it's just as pleasing as I expected.
THIS SONG RESTORED MY EMBER IN DARK SOULS 3
The moment I heard this, I still have the instinct to dodge to the right in the first three seconds
:) Love you son!!!
Cathy Huizinga yay!
wow
Can't really comment on how good of a cover this is, since I'm usually too busy not dying. :P
This cover put tears in my eyes.
Good tears or bad tears? 😏
Bryan Merrill Both.
Love the shirt, love the PRS, love the song. Love it all, sick rendition here man :)
Probably my favorite Souls boss, thanks for this!
This was a tough boss even WITH the help of Knight Solaire of Astora and I also took down fatty first.
It turned out to be more rewarding in the long run.
+NetMoverSitan I cosplayed as arteries, it worked.
ForAnswer Did you mean Artorias?
NetMoverSitan shit typo yeah
ForAnswer The hardest part of that was when he "went super saiyan" on me (which required a large amount of attacks to disrupt)
When I saw the inside of Smough's armor, realized..., Smough is a giant (The species, not adjective)
This theme makes me want to summon solaire
Excelente work!
the best cover ever made!
Smashed it
WHAT?! ANOTHER METAL COVER OF MY FAVORITE BOSS FIGHT IN DARK SOULS HISTORY?! SUBBED.

I think I came in my pants when I heard this absolutely praise worthy cover. simply phenomenal
This is amazing! Please do more Dark Souls =]

Chocomunchie Thanks! I mayyyyy or may not be working on covering some of those other games so, uh... yeah. keep an eye out!
RichaadEB Will do, man. Subbed.
This is still my absolute favorite of yours. So metal. \m/
Do dark souls 3 abyss watchers plz
Yes!
+Themer Yollai He just did
+Santa1936 I know.. And this comment is 2 weeks old.. And I'm so proud..
+Themer Yollai I'm aware, just figured I'd let you know in case you didn't know yet
Ok.. Thanks i guess
I'm pleased.
I fucking love your hands Richards, seriously
Awesome as ever!!!
Most epic battle song. Ornstein and smough is amazing double boss.
this is just perfect, good job bro!!
Honestly I'm always too distracted by the fight to listen to the music when I go at them but man, next time I'll have to listen in.
just you tube the theme
This is divine
Praise the eargasm !! Awesome cover man =)
Amazing piece of art
outstanding work mate .
Pretty amazing.
Ohhh shit! This is fucking epic man \m/
Dude great fucking job on this, it sounds amazing. If I were to recommend another song from the series to cover could you possibly cover the Belfry Gargoyles theme? Or from the Pokemon series, the battle music for fighting Red from Pokemon Silver?
OMG!!! Get this shit on Spotify so I can listen to all these tracks while I play Dark Souls. This is amazing!!!!
That was a long piece but sounded great!!! Way to go Rich!
Man this is sooo awesome, it makes me want to play dark souls again, and wither my soul while im at it lol. Any chance of making one of the final fantasy series metal cover, not one winged angel since its been delt with so many times, but a theme like final fantasy 4 main theme? It is my favorite theme out of them all. Not forcing ya, but just giving some ideas for future covers :)
Today is the day I restart DS1 and solo O&S with this song!
I never found that fight to be particularly challenging solo. Tomb of the Giants and the chaos can go to hell though. That was pain.
MrCannibalMan The four kings...
+DoomDogDan666 if you timed your rolls and just went ham on them, it was easy enough. Getting to them was the pain :P
2handed greatsword. Smack smack, roll. Smack smack. Repeat
MrCannibalMan the arena is so blank, like where am I going?
+DoomDogDan666 I just got my tankiest armor, ran up to them, and just went ham.
It was actually really easy.
Also don't summon Beatrice, she makes it harder by drawing the other kings.
GOOOOOOOOD. I COME BACK TO PRAISE THIS 💖
God i love it
Jixsohable
Awesome cover, dude!
This is so sick, man! O:
Nice BTBAM shirt. But great work man! That was awesome. Subbed.
One of the best boss themes in gaming remixed to be EVEN COOLER!
@0:47 chord of death
This is awesome!
You programmed these drums?!?!
FUCKING NUTTER!
thats damn impressive
omfg this is good
