I don't know, word's line after being told the Defiants weapons were down "Perhaps today IS a good day to die....RAMMING SPEED!" Is pretty metal. If I can't kick your butt from a distance, I'll get right up in your face and die doing it.
@@CaptainMeatshieldUK the Klingon theme was awesome! You'd make a great Klingon with that hair too! I know this post is a couple years old...ever try doing The Wrath of Khan? James Horner was lit with that soundtrack.
I had started to wonder if we'd get to hear the absolute glory which is Jerry (and Joel) Goldsmith's 'First Contact' intro title, but then at 4:15, there it is. And it's *absolutely awesome*. Such an underrated film and soundtrack.
First Contact's main theme for me is by far the most powerful, and gets me emotional I have to admit. I loved that you included it in this cover, and without overdoing it! Excellent job all in all here!
To this day First Contact is still my favourite Trek film, and the theme is so damn memorable! I still get a little choked up when I play this one, just cos it means a lot to me. I'm glad you liked it, my dude!
Thanks! I really like how that section of the track turned out! Although, I owe all the credit to Jerry Goldsmith! He laid the ground work, I just added some distortion! xD

Glad that you liked it :) I have been watching Star Trek : TNG for the past weeks and, yes indeed, imagining their appropriate voices and relevant way of acting inspired this conversation while listening to your great cover :) I want it to be a real episode too \m/
i don't normally go for these metal cover type vids (not much of a metal fan) but by the Q you absolutely slayed it my guy. That acoustic for the First Contact theme was absolutely perfect.
Great work! Bringing these themes together makes them all so much more powerful. The changes are fantastic. I love the Deep Space Nine theme the most, and your version is fantastic. Really good job man.
Jesus Christ this rules, dude. The TNG theme already slaps way harder than it has already right to, and you elevate it to a whole other level. And the inclusion of the themes from First Contact too! My god. Bravo!
You know how people say the new Ghostbusters ruined my childhood? This is the exact opposite of that. You have enriched my past and present. I literally cannot hold back the tears of joy when I hear this. Ive tried 9 times and I cant stop myself. You sir are an artist. I love it.
Been a trekkie all my life. Have seen these songs played live. Have the soundtracks. This is by far my favorite rendition. Thank you for your tireless effort. It's amazing.
Thanks, man! I like giving the option to follow each guitar track, plus I feel it makes it feel more like a band performance, even when it's just me on my own! :P
2:00 First time I think I've heard a cover of the Borg theme from First Contact... and now I'm wondering if it was originally meant to be metal, along with the Klingon theme
I honestly didn't know what to expect from the first contact piece...but wow! I've always regarded it as the best musical score next to Voyager and The Final Frontier but you my man have made my night with this cover, just Beautiful.
I walked down the aisle with my wife to the First Contact theme (as played by a very good organist) - but this version is right up there! Wonderful stuff!!

Damn, right!
that comment made my day. Thank you for the laugh :)
It has a presence
*YES*
Set Phasers to headbanger!
"If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!" - That was the most metal thing in all of Star Trek until now.
+M Gutman Q'apla!!!
I dunno. "A warrior's drink" is pretty metal for Star Trek Universe.
I don't know, word's line after being told the Defiants weapons were down "Perhaps today IS a good day to die....RAMMING SPEED!" Is pretty metal. If I can't kick your butt from a distance, I'll get right up in your face and die doing it.
what about the borg? 1/2 metal isn't something to scoff (or discharge a phaser) at. (kidding)
The Battle of sector 001 and the old klingon theme are fucking amazing as metal. Holy crap.
"Is that...Classical Music?"
"I believe it is."
You're God damn right it is.
Little known fact: Jean-Luc is a massive Eminem fan
The internet is a wonderful place where you don't know you need things until you find them. And now I'm not sure how I lived without it. Thank you!
I'm glad I could bring you this thing that you didn't know you needed! :D
haha amazing comment and yes
❤❤❤❤❤
Yep, Junkball helped me find your *fantastic* interpretation of the Star Trek music!
The first contact part gave me goosebumps
I never want to hear a non-metal version of the Klingon music ever again. :-) Just awesome.
Q'apla!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, man!! :)
Today is a good day to headbang
same
@@CaptainMeatshieldUK the Klingon theme was awesome! You'd make a great Klingon with that hair too!
I know this post is a couple years old...ever try doing The Wrath of Khan? James Horner was lit with that soundtrack.
The Lower Decks soundtrack has some Klingon death metal as a bonus track.
The whole "Red Alert" song, especially the Borg march, works so damn well as a metal song. Awesome work man!
Thank you! Red Alert seemed so ripe for a metal cover. I'm surprised no one had beaten me to it!!
When I have a moment, I shall check that out! I love seeing what others have done with the music I've covered! :)
You didnt listen to them Red Alert or Borg attack march if you didnt do it in the Klingon Original!
The whole First Contact theme is one of the best musical works in all of Star Trek and you made a pretty amazing version of it. Well done!
Thank you very much! \m/,
Yes!!!
The metal version of the First Contact theme gives me vibes of Metallica's "Unforgiven".
I agree! however we now have Picard. Which trumps this theme a million times :)
Bloody well done! applause from TNG fans worldwide!
*For those seeking confidence please hit replay several times. This is ONE man doing a big production piece. AMAZING!*
*humble bow*
It IS a good day to Metal. Good Lord. Take all my money and release a klingon album!!!!
I feel I might need to do the full Klingon theme after this one! \m/, Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I had started to wonder if we'd get to hear the absolute glory which is Jerry (and Joel) Goldsmith's 'First Contact' intro title, but then at 4:15, there it is. And it's *absolutely awesome*. Such an underrated film and soundtrack.
Always save the best til last! :P Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
My favorite Star Trek film, too. Best idea for a film since VGER....but this was THE BEST executed Star Trek film ever. Sorry, II.
Worfs Klingon theme in First Contact, as proven by this performance, is Metal as FUCK! Good job, love Star Trek and love this.
Klingons deserve all of their theme-songs in metal renditions! \m/, Q'apla!
The Klingon theme is the most metal of all. The Klingon battle from the motion picture probably deserves a metal cover of its own.
It's been requested before, so I shall try to make it happen! :)
And BTW, all it lacks is you puting a Klingon prosthetics forehead and it'll won't even look out of place...
Chills with the start of Red Alert, man, damn!
Thank you, very much! :) I'm glad you enjoyed!!
>listening to this while doing other things

The First Contact theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematic music, and this was a GREAT rendition of that!!

This is freaking awesome
When I hear this I imagine the Enterprise crew headbanging. awesome work 🖖🤘
Q'apla!! \m/,
In one of the blooper videos on TH-cam they goof around headbanging to the theme song.
Thing is...does Picard _really_ have enough hair to _REALLY_ headbang? :P
Now I can't get the image out of my head of Data in the back awkwardly trying to join in hahaha
I imagine them all doing it but Worf, he'd just pout. Picard would also need a wig.
You have boldly went no man has ever gone before.
Warp factor 150bpm!! \m/,
No one. No ONE. Next Gen was "where no one has gone before."
No one important cares.

This is how the Klingon Battle Theme must always be played from this day forward

Might I suggest the flaming guitar from Mad Max?
When the First Contact bit kicks in = EPIC!
Aw yay! :D Thank you!
Excuse me, I need to go find my lower jaw. I think it crashed three floors down into the storage basement! =O
Dr Crusher can be found in the Sickbay. :P haha Thanks!! :D
Accurate
That jaw went where no jaw had gone before.
but honey we don't have a basement, well now we do, lolz.

That's some great work. PROPS!
Best. comment. ever.
Please don't set phasers on me. I just wanna listen.
@@thrashyjill6728 This comment is criminally underrated. I regret only that I have but one like to give.
Wow. Great stuff. I can't believe how well Jerry Goldsmith's First Contact score works in Metal. Epic.
I merely took a great man's work and built upon it! Thank you, though! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
NotlobParrot the Klingon riff for Worf's moment on the Defiant is the best Metal Trek I've ever heard.
Yeah, when that classic Klingon theme kicks in it's pretty great. I bet Wrath of Khan would sound great 'Metaled' as well.
Still listening in awe. And now in my will to be played at my funeral when the time comes...thank you again!
Dude. My two favourite things blended together. This is awesome.
Thank you! I'm glad you're a fan of both of these things, as I like them both too! (clearly)
I have heard this a thousand times... but feel like I've never heard it before. This is magnificent!
Thank you! :)
My buddy linked me to this saying "You love metal and Star Trek so...")
And yep. I love this.
Thanks! I'm glad you approve! :D
I like how you took that subtly menacing Borg music from the movie and made it truly headbanging. Well done.
Thanks! I really like how that section of the track turned out! Although, I owe all the credit to Jerry Goldsmith! He laid the ground work, I just added some distortion! xD

Thank you, very much!
This theme gives me the hope of a better future. No more poverty, starving or meaningless conflicts.
I'm not one for heavy metal, but this was really well done. You can hear the love for the source in every note.
This is AMAZING man. Thanks so much. Especially for the Klingon theme.
Thank you, very much! I just hope Martok and Worf would be headbanging to this! \m/,
That final reprise of the First Contact theme at the end was exquisite. Damn this was good.

You know, you had me going with that first sentence! :P
Thank you! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it so much! :)
Brought a tear to my eyes near the end. Was throwing devil horns in the air during the Klingon part. Hailz!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! :D Q'apla!! \m/,
I didn't think I liked Metal. Clicked on the vid expecting to leave after 15 seconds, stayed for the whole ride. Bravo!
Resistance is Futile! :P Thank you!
Would LOVE to hear a longer version of the Klingon battle theme...
+Ace O'Thorns It has been requested several times, already! Your vote has been added to the tally! :)
I don't know why, but that high register First Contact motif always brings tears to my eyes and makes me feel like it's the 90's again.
Find the footage of Patrick Stewart playing the Baliset as Gurney Hallack in Dune & do a super of cut of that, using this music.
#MakeItSo
Over 6 minutes. You, sir, are a madman. The good kind!
stellar "ROCK TREK" man, way to go. You made it so...
Dude, YES! I even got a little lump in my throat when the main First Contact theme kicked in. Well done!
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! :)
how can people dislike this this is AMAZINGG keep up the great work
Thank you, dude! :)
The whole thing is brilliant, but when that Klingon theme kicked in, I'll admit it, I got goosebumps! That was terrific!
*Borg attacking colony*
*Enterprise drops out of warp and this song starts playing*
Borg: ohhh shiiiiiii.....
Picturing the Enterprise D saucer separated, Picard unleashing everything she's got!
And Riker's hair mysteriously spiked whenever there is a battle 😆
I'm not metal head myself but these versions of the trek themes you do is sheer artistry. Bravo!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed them! :)
Hab SoSlI' Quch! That was fucking AMAZEBALLS!
Well, yes, she does, but that's just rude!
Haha! Thanks, man!
Captain_Meatshield Well, I was thinking a good Russian curse would work, but Klingon definitely works better! SUBBED! Keep 'em coming!
I always appreciate a good insult! Thank you again, and I shall!
You have definitely made it so! These are truly epic sound waves from the Federation and the Klingon Empire! Outstanding job, my good sir!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The First Contact theme gives me the chills every time.
It's a beautiful theme!
Been a trekkie all my life. Have seen these songs played live. Have the soundtracks.
This is by far my favorite rendition. Thank you for your tireless effort. It's amazing.
Awesome work! Nice to see someone else thrashing on a 7-string.
Thanks, man! Everything sounds better when tuned down! \m/,
So very appropriate having the Borg movie music played in heavy metal style
+sonicantz The Borg are deserving of some kind of progressive-industrial-doom metal!! \m/,
Dude, this was great. I love the music as well as the editing of the video to show all the pieces.

Not a metal fan, but hard not to recognize something pretty awesome. Its very good.

Sir, You're a steely eyed AXEMAN! Absolutely awesome! First Contact is my fav ST:TNG movie, too.
Thank you, very much! :) Excellent choice in movies!!
2:00 First time I think I've heard a cover of the Borg theme from First Contact... and now I'm wondering if it was originally meant to be metal, along with the Klingon theme
I have found no other covers of "Red Alert", so I'm rather proud to be the first to cover it! Thanks for watching/listening! :)
This is why metal music is the best, if you feel it it hurts your soul and lets go at the same time
+Cyrus 027 Beautifully said! :)
It's like Star Trek meets Operation Mindcrime. In other words, Awesome!
I have no idea what Operation Mindcrime is, but I graciously accept the compliment!! Q'apla!!
Captain_Meatshield "Operation Mindcrime" was a late 80s concept album by Queensryche. It wad their album before "Empire"
Dennis Shows I haven't heard Operation Mindcrime in years. I should take a listen again.
Metal battle of sector 001 is something i did not know i needed, but thank god its here.
This cover hits different after watching season three of Star Trek Picard.
This is literally the greatest thing I have ever seen.
Oh, shush! *humble bow*
Rock on and prosper!
I've not heard a better version of the TNG theme anywhere. The inclusion of the First Contact music is amazing. Such a superb job.
Thanks very much, dude!!
Ringtone please! Make it so, #1!
MP3's of all of my covers are available through my Patreon! :P This one will be uploaded and available to download tomorrow! :)
ENGAGE!
Just as i started thinking that the Star Trek theme couldn't get any more epic you turned it from epic into godlike.
everytime i listen to this i grab my phone, for almost a year it was my ringtone :D
Haha! That's awesome! I've done the same with other songs tbh!
To boldly rock where no one has rocked before
Paul A. Brooks sez: CBS just needs to throw caution to the wind and make this the theme song for the new Picard show.
oh my god I never knew I needed to hear the battle of sector 001 music as a metal tune but I sure don't regret hearing it! tis be amazing
"Assimilate This."
That was totally BAD ASS! Jerry Goldsmith would be proud!
Thank you very much, dude! I certainly hope he would be!
i wont lie, when the theme for "First Contact" hit, i cried a little, you captured it beautifully =)...
The ending... man... wow write something like that but longer, maker ir it's own sting
The last part is the theme to First Contact
This made my hair stand up on end. PHENOMENAL JOB!!
Hodor!!!!!!
Hodor!
Man, I love this cover! I've been looping this non-stop for the past couple of weeks while video editing. Truly amazing job!!
You. Are. A. GOD. Among. INSECTS. And don't let anybody tell you any differently.
Me? But I am just a worm!
Haha! Thank you so much! That means a lot!
This is so great! Live long and prosper. The First Contact theme at the end was so good.
Thank you very much! :)
No lie, this gave me chills.
Brought a tear to me eye.
This was phenomenal, this show helped get me through some of the toughest parts of my life, and this cover is AMAZING!!!

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST POWERFUL AND AWESOME RENDERING OF THE POPULAR STAR TREK THEME I HAVE EVER HEARD! YOU SIR ARE AN EXTREMELY GIFTED MUSICIAN!
Thank you very much, dude! That's very much appreciated! :)
and then, before I knew it, my head was banging to Worf's theme. What an amazing rendition.
I walked down the aisle with my wife to the First Contact theme (as played by a very good organist) - but this version is right up there! Wonderful stuff!!
It's a beautiful piece, especially for an event like that! I'm sure it made a very special day even more memorable!
I hope you live long and prosper! we need more videos like this from you!!
Thank you, man! Rest assured, I have more metal in the works!! Watch this space!
Goosebumps everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE Thank You!
