    Oh man, there's another version of this called Lightning Strikes Again, you gotta listen to it.

      That is actually a remix of two tracks from this game. Lightning Strikes Again is the name of the opening music of Thunder Force 4.

      No what you're saying is Japanese artist called S.S.H. recompose lighting strikes again and metal squad together, and it's considered a cover instead of OST.

    Give you about a week of practicing and playing around with different tempo and rhythm sets on this song and you could totally rock this solo at a concert and get the crowd chanting along. Depends on if you go strictly solo as bass or rhythm guitar. Your bandmates could join in though and this song just automatically comes alive with just 3 people. Bass + Rhythm + Drums = *WOW!!*

      @delloda 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No it is not but I can see why you think that because they manage to replicate that sound with a yamaha FM sound chip and it shows how impressive it is that they manage to do it so well that you think it it is actually from real instruments.

      ​@@direktexe8436It is a saw wave, i agree but It is not "actually" a lead guitar with pedal but was emulating it masterfully. Broken thunder was released years after the megadrive/genesis version as an arranged version of metal squad.

    I put on the SSH version wheil playing DCS, Ace Combat and Star Wars Squadrons. The intro to the SSH version is the TF4 intro theme Lightning Strikes Again. Slaps at the speed of light. It's perfect for launch prep, carrier launch or coming out of Hyperspace.

    The main difference between Sega and SNES were how they handled sounds.
    The SNES had far better sampling and overall sounds a lot smoother and cleaner.
    Where the Genesis sound system was basically just a Synth. One that was really good at distortion.

    No, this song totally sounds something like what Dragonforce would cover. Also, contrary to what you say, Capcom proved that guitars can, in fact, play on an SNES/NSFC, and if that is not a strong enough argument for that, then the SD2SNES and MSU-1 are more than enough to make your argument invalid.

    Look for a recording with original hardware, this version sounds too harsh.
    Also the snes is more like a sample machine, that's why orchestral songs sound good on it, the megadrive uses FM synthesis.

    This whole ost is ripped out of Defenders of the Faith and Screaming for Vengeance.
    This song, is big hunks of Hellion, and The Sentinel. Almost note for note.
    It doesnt sound like 90's music, because it is british 80's metal.

    OMG even if this is not an official remix, this is the best sound ever.
    I always thought the drums and bass were perfect, but the lead was too harsh. Your guitar sound is absolutely perfects and totally fits the song.
    Do you think you could try an official "play along" remix or something like that, without you talking and the pauses in this video?
    I'll extract the audio of this video and try to use Audacity to select only the parts where you play along, but that won't be good enough. ha ha
