Story time: in may 2013 I returned from my first ever trip to California and found myself, freshly out of college, without really anything to occupy my time outside of work. I recall feeling this vague longing and angst to put myself out there and do something cool like so many other people my age were doing on TH-cam, Twitch, and other platforms. I really felt like I could get my life somewhere that I'd be more happy with, outside of just having an okay job in my home state of Michigan. I recalled listening to Powerglove on and off through high school and thought that maybe I could do something like that - make metal versions of video game songs that I liked. I'd been playing guitar to myself for about 10 years at this point, why not try something more public with a bit more risk for ridicule? This theme was the first cover I settled on, I really like it. I sat down in front of my trial verison of REAPER with my (at the time pirated) EZDrummer kit and started arranging. I had to borrow a friend's bass and I did most everything in one take and got it done in a day or two. It sounded awful, but I was really proud of it at the time. I showed some of my friends from school and they thought it was cool too and said I should upload it to youtube. I did and watched the numbers climb from 0 to 1 to maybe 100 in the span of a about week. I recall being completely floored by that, and shortly thereafter started making friends with other people online that were doing the same thing. That was 7 years ago, and here I am now in 2020 doing it for a living. I'm made hundreds of covers, written music for AAA and indie games, contributed music to movies, and written themes for people and professional entities. I've been doing this stuff professionally since 2015 and I don't really want to stop. So here's to another decade of music from me, eh? Thanks all for helping me achieve this little dream of mine :) -Rich
"Oh, I see how it is." For all the people who still remember you from the old days, I can probably say we are all amazed by how far you've come. Cheers dude!
Imagine if Geno ended up returning as a costume for Mii Gunner, resulting in him being a complete 180° from the hype of Sans and Cuphead It would be a cruel geno-cide for Geno fans Edit (12/20/20): oh god i'm sorry
@@KairuHakubi Not in Ultimate. It's in 4, and the fact that it ISN'T in Ultimate is really suspicious. Like maybe they have a good reason not to put him in as a Mii costume.
This brings back memories of the first let's play I saw, and the first animation on new grounds I can remember. Thank you, this was unexpectedly nostalgic.
The thumbnail looked like what genos render would be in ultimate, and I clicked because I thought I missed a Nintendo direct or a character announcement or something Sadly, I didn’t. But damn I’m happy to hear rich and his geno dedication.
I really enjoy the style of this RPG. I've never quite found another one like it that mixes childhood nostaliga of Mario with JRPG elements mixed with pop-culture like SMRPG does. Also one of the few games I dare say is perfect.
Watch, when this song or something like it gets played in the background of a smash trailer, the entire smash community is gonna go insane, it probably wouldn’t be as big as Steve but it would be a pretty big reveal
When I was a five-years old kid, before I knew the existence of this game, I had known the existence of this song. Why? Because of Rawest Forest, one of the best remixes ever done.
Topical... for one of my finals last semester, I made a zine about which characters should be in smash, and geno was one of them! I had to design his final smash and everything HAHA

Your welcome, bud.
Thank you for so much amazing music, Rich. It's been a wild ride being here since the early years.
Dangit Rich, I don't think I have to ask everyone for permission to say that we all love you so much, keep on rocking dude!
"Oh, I see how it is."
For all the people who still remember you from the old days, I can probably say we are all amazed by how far you've come.
Cheers dude!
And thanks for keep inspiring us!
Hell yes, this is exactly what we need, more outstanding pro-Geno propaganda!
Yo GaMetal, you a Genobro too? NICE!
BE CAREFUL.
So you need more...
ProGENOganda?
...
I'll take my leave
Press F to Pay Respects. Geno got robbed
Holy crap, Forest Maze!? There are so few covers of this amazing song! Wonderful work!
They just announced a SMRPG remake. It's not smash(yet), but it's something!
1:16 Beware the Forest's *Blastbeats!*
🌲🍄😱🍄🌲
Hell yeah
From where everything started to seven years later, RichaadEB still stands strong, having a successful career remixing video game music.
Geno will forever be In our hearts!
You are right Geno will be forever with our hearts but we still hope he will be in smash

@@deagledevil5518 I'm so sorry bud:(

Edit (12/20/20): oh god i'm sorry
Honestly, that would still be better than just a spirit.
wait you mean they haven't put that smash 4 costume back in smash 5 yet?
@@KairuHakubi yea weird, I thought he was a Mii costume alr
I distinctly remember it.

OMG and Geno and Mallow for Smash
🎵 Exiting the forest is super simple all you have to do is follow these path turns for the rest of your gaming life....🎵
This is a glow up if I've ever seen one.
For realsies, keep kicking ass dude 🤘
Super Mario Oh RPG
It is the only one just for me
Pls continue the song if anyone knows it
@@Zeforas Then I find out I'm stuck in Geno's maze
There are many Secrets in this game
Many of which drive some Peeps Insane
When I play the game I get lost in a phase,
Then I find out I'm stuck in Geno's maze
Gimme frog coins!(gimme Mallow)
Gimme frog coins! (Give me geno)
Wow. That's all I've got to say after this. Purely amazing stuff, man. Keep it up!!
Love this dude. Love this cover! This is my favorite song from this game!
I absolutely adore this cover!
Geno is going be fighter! The spirit Decomfirmed rule is official dead by Min Min! HE is coming!
Let us also not forget the leak with the Mii costumes of an enemy from doom and Mallow, (which included thumbs up Ken)
I still get bothered that people thought it ever meant that spirits deconfirmed fighters. Nobody confirmed it.
Let us if Geno gets in smash next time
F
Ngl I kinda feel sorry for you
Man, it's unfair how good your covers are haha. So good!
Never stop making these, this cover is so amazing dude. I always wonder if you realize how many songs people have on their playlists haha!
This is amazing, I love it.
I'm first, to say FINALLY! One of the best songs on Super Mario RPG!
The thumbnail looked like what genos render would be in ultimate, and I clicked because I thought I missed a Nintendo direct or a character announcement or something
Sadly, I didn’t. But damn I’m happy to hear rich and his geno dedication.
It's actually Curiomatic's Model which he made in his video th-cam.com/video/I8gaNJWYGKI/w-d-xo.html
danvexwx That’s not the same fan render of Geno. The one on the thumbnail for this video was made by a DeviantArt user named NibRoc-Rock.
Wow. Love the arrangement. Keep it up RICHAAAAAAAAD!
Thank you friend. And thank you for bringing back this childhood classic. :)
This is legit. Absolutely love it
I nearly started to cry when I saw this I love Super Mario RPG so much. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!
*LONG HAVE WE WAITED, SPIRIT HATERS HAVE FAILED, CHANCES HAVE RAISED, THE FOREST MAZE WILL BE REAWAKENED*
Quality material as usual! Great Job!
The moment I saw this videos name, i knew that it will be good.
You literally getter more awesome with each video
Your sweeps are so goddamn masterful and clean that it makes me hate myself.
I still have a physical copy of this game and that's one of my favorite songs from it. Once again you blow me away with the quality of your work!
glad you updated this
I really enjoy the style of this RPG. I've never quite found another one like it that mixes childhood nostaliga of Mario with JRPG elements mixed with pop-culture like SMRPG does. Also one of the few games I dare say is perfect.
The talent. Fucking excellent!! 🤘🤘
Amazing! Brings back such memories!
Watch, when this song or something like it gets played in the background of a smash trailer, the entire smash community is gonna go insane, it probably wouldn’t be as big as Steve but it would be a pretty big reveal
This would be awesome in Smash!
This is the music that plays over a Smash Ultimate Geno combo video.
0:30 i just love the way he's doing
RAHHHHHH WHO ELSE IS HERE AFTER THE DIRECT 🔥
This is pure sweetness and awesome.
Geno will return fighter pack 7 mark my words
Ha nope it was STEVE but maybe later on in the fighters pass 2
Even if we don't get Geno in smash, you smashed this tune enough that it's good enough for me.
Holy shit wow!!!! its like my childhood was complimented with a shot of whiskey. Amazing cover!
Geno descends from the stars
(Theme starts)
Super Smash Bros X Super Mario RPG
Unfortunately he’s a mii costume :(
I'm so sorry
Awesome
Wow! Great cover, dude! I love this song and you do a great job with this!
You are my favorite VGM guitarist from TH-cam :3
All I can think about is those chungus flying koopas
Looking at them always makes me feel out of breath. Like I just walked a metre and I'm already sweaty.
When I was a five-years old kid, before I knew the existence of this game, I had known the existence of this song. Why? Because of Rawest Forest, one of the best remixes ever done.
My favorite video game coverist, doing one of my favorite video game songs.
This is right. It's just correct.
If we don't get him, at least he was a pretty infamous spirit in World of Light.
But I want him in so bad...since Brawl....love the cover!!!
is this gonna spawn the how fast can i play on mushroom series
This was really fucking cool
HOLY SHIT YES!!
He will served an higher authority.
RichardEB uploads:

If Geno was in smash, and this was his theme, everyone would main him.

Whoa, nice! Which model of majesty is that? I have a monarchy Black Knight 7!
Timble lindo de guitarra RichaadB the best
Geno ✨ the fight
Very nice!
Geno, please come home.
GENO FOR SMASH!
I won’t rest until someone does AeroGauge music
Ready? Set? GOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hell yeah! Geno is muh boy!
Super Mario RPG was such a great game.
Awesome work. I'd generously pay you to write a tab for this. I'll start buy purchasing the song in iTunes. Thanks
Topical... for one of my finals last semester, I made a zine about which characters should be in smash, and geno was one of them! I had to design his final smash and everything HAHA
He's a mii costume...
this shit slaps. HARD.
The music and the game overall was my jam way back when.
So goood
Geno is god and ai like this geno song
Woah, talk about nostalgic 0_o
Now we wait for Smithy's battle theme or the Axem rangers!
Someone tell PapaGenos to come here and listen to this!
It will hopefully happen in smash
more [reminders super mario rpg even existed] when?
also moar twuwhu whenz
damn son, this one went full melodic death metal
I mostly know the melody from Toad Town in BiS, but I’m definitely getting around to playing SMRPG someday.
GENO!!GENO!!
Geno can still make it.
ありがとう😭
Feels like it needs a key change at the end.
I was wondering, If you've ever thought of doing a cover of Midnight Carnival from Guilty Gear XX/X2? Btw awesome cover! Keep up the good work! :)
This better be in the super smash DLC
Congrats on living your dream.... and mine as well 😆
日本人いない。
MRPGめちゃくちゃやった勢としては！すげぇなつかしいいぃぃー！！
カブトムシ！スーファミソフト！
Beware the Fire's Emblems
YEEEES
If Geno gets into Smash and sakura doesnt ask to use this cover as his reveal theme and put it in the game i'm gonna be upset af
Does anyone else want this absolutely legend to remake Beethoven Virus?
Nice.
