The silence of daylight, bloody tears and within these castle walls are some of the greatest video game music themes ever composed hands down. It’s no contest.
As a 40 year old man who remembers getting his 2nd Nintendo Power with this game on the cover and playing this game 30 years ago,, but currently laid up in bed with terrible back pain you have brought a rare smile to my face and brought me to tears of joy. Thank you for the nostalgia!
Good thing you had Nintendo Power, because I doubt anyone would have guessed to equip a bone or whatever and then kneel down at a certain place until a tornado picks you up.
This made my day. My childhood friend and I would play this for hours on hours. Sadly my friend is no longer with us. Great memories. One of the best Nintendo games
@@ajpyyz I disagree with the first part, but wholly agree with the second part. People throw the word "underrated" around a lot with classic games, but I think it really applies here.
Simons Quest was the first Castlevania I played as a child and the music to me is still the best out of the whole franchise and this video brought all of the music back to life in a awesome way ! You guys are the best !!! Your renditions of video game music is top tier! Great job like always ! 😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Maybe you'll like this, only found this a year or 2 ago, it's called Vomitron and have 2 albums of Nintendo metal! th-cam.com/video/RwGyFuE-XW0/w-d-xo.html
Me too! It was specifically because of this ad that I wanted to play the game: i.imgur.com/MM2fXng.png My mom got me a used copy at Bookman's in Flagstaff, AZ in 1990. and the rest is history. I agree the music is top notch! Bloody Tears is immortal.
About 20 years ago a good friend of mine and I did a heavy metal version of Bloody Tears. Those harmonics were Pantera-style when we played it. To this day it's probably the most epic thing I've ever played 😂
I cannot stop listening to this. I hear it all the time. Everything seems so important when listening to it. I listen to other things and wish it was this.
I reckon I’ve watched this video 20 times. I smile every time. The memories of sitting in the floor playing this game mixed with the impressive talent of these 2 guys. It’s a peanut butter cup of happiness
I can NOT get enough of this. You guys kill it every time! This is incredible. I love Simons Quest, which are not words that are spoken very often. The nostalgia meter is pinging!

I'm with you. Loved Simon's Quest. Sure, in retrospect, the translation was terrible, and pathfinding made no sense. But it gave us that amazing score, and the best Nintendo Power cover ever.
@@angryscholar8450 Love Simon's Quest, they tried to give you a world. Multiple endings, day night cycle, it was ambitious as hell. my only complaint about the entire game is the last boss is WAAAAAAY too easy.
This game used to scare the crap out of me every time I played it, but I was hooked. I couldn't stop playing it even though I didn't want to and was terrified. Must have been that curse they mention. What a horrible night!
I've watched this so many times. Castlevania 2 is without a doubt my favorite soundtrack in the entire series. It's a short track list, but every single song is a banger.
Never clicked on anything so fast in my life. I've wondered for years how you two would do Bloody Tears!! Steve's bit of percussion gives BT that drive it needs; this totally slaps. arrangement is spectacular as always :33
Obviously brilliant performance, but I wanted to compliment you on your combination of steel and nylon strung guitars. A wonderful contrast of tonalities that not enough musicians exploit!
I remember the first time hearing The Silence of Daylight. Till this day that track slays. Something about the progression just lends itself to metal tones. I'd love to see a high quality metal cover if anyone knows of one.
This was freakin awesome!! Oh man, the transition from day to night just pushed it over the top! Fantastic arangment and flawless executed. Thank you SGB for bring my childhood to life through this beautiful art form!
That transition to night was perfect 😄 Simon's Quest has the best music in the series and you guys are killing it!!! I'm going to be replaying this one a lot.
Okay so I just listened to this again for about the thousandth time, but the FIRST time through quality headphones. Wow! Best thing I've ever heard through these Bose Soundsport earbuds! Absolutely incredible guys!
There’s a reason this music is still being played and enjoyed 30+ years later. Brilliant job, fellas. I’m taken back to my childhood and blown away all at once!
If these guys were playable characters in the game, they would be unstoppable! Truly stunning! Marvelous and magnificent! I would like to congratulate you on a job well done!
This whole open world RPG thing became one of the most influencial trends in the gaming industry period, and yet Simon's Quest doesn't get enough credit for being one of the origins
I don't care about all the negativity against this game, it was and still is awesome.... if it wasn't for the masterpiece castlevania 4, Simon's quest would be the best one made
Huh, I had thought River City Ransom was the real king of that (apart from MUDs of course) but checked and nope, Castlevania 2 was out about a year earlier.
I guess because it was not everyone's cup of tea, especially at the time, but once you could get through that, boy, it's one of the best games ever made.
Hands down one of the greatest guitar duets I've ever heard!! I sat here with my jaw open the entire time and my heart racing with nostalgia. Thank you so much!!! This was absolutely amazing!!
These guys have the best rendition of Bloody Tears, period. The pacing and build up are so good. And they emphasize the *correct* notes. Nobody else seems to do that.
Just hearing you for the first time ever, and I feel cheated for not finding out about you earlier! 10/10 here from this old-school gamer/guitarist! You turn 8 bit music into real instruments, and I actually like to do the reverse lol. Can't wait to see what you do next! 🤘🤖😁👍
Super guitar bros are sick, sam has a solo page as well on youtube called sam griffin guitar as well where he covers a fuck ton of game tracks solo guitar, its wild

I'm literally crying watching this. Castlevania 2 was one of the games I loved growing up, I remember when my mom took me to Venture and bought it for me. To this day I love it and this is remarkable. Fantastic work guys!!!
Absolutely amazing. How have I lived my life without hearing this? I played Simon’s quest growing up and was such a fan of the music. And now to hear it in a live music format. Thank you!!!
Geeeeez, you guys spoil us! I love Silence of the Daylight - my favorite castlevania track ever, but the way you handled that Last Boss and went straight to Bloody Tears is simply legendary! Magnificent work, boys!
This soundtrack for this game is what got me into video games back in the day. I had zero interest in Atari, Sega Master System and Nintendo Entertainment System. All of my friends and relatives were into games, but my mother used to babysit my cousin and one day he brought of his NES and this game. I was in my bedroom and the melodies for this game kept distracting me and I came out and asked him what he was playing. The rest is history, and this series has always held a special place in my heart.

You guys are way better players than you used to be. Ever think of re-recording the original Castlevania medley from 2011?
Thanks for this awesomeness.
Incredible guys!
Now, beat this game!
I basically listen to this once a day. No regrets so far
Have you heard Mega Man 6 Flame Man?
And just like that I'm eight years old again playing on my NES. Happy days. Thanks for the memories guys. Big grin on my face listening to this.
We must be the same age. I'm a '79 model. 😎
80 here but same energy.
@adamcannon3730 78 here! Mid-40s with great memories!
@paulschumacher4308 I could be wrong, but I think our generation was the best in history.
@@Metalbass1979 No evidence found that you are wrong... 😉
That transition into "What a terrible night to have a curse" was absolutely amazing! Put me back in front of my NES with my NES Advantage!
I absolutely adore how you literally played a dialogue box omg
Agreed!!!
Yes!
It is the best!!!!!
@harlequin2280 exactly! It's like, you want that whip, or you want the best ending? You can't have both, kid!
For real, that part got a👍 alone
The Silence of Daylight cover rips so hard. Love it, guys.
Wish we could get 15 minutes on repeat

What a horrible night to have a curse of a back pain :(
Take care bro, let's hope that a morning sun will vanquished the horrible night
This made my day. My childhood friend and I would play this for hours on hours. Sadly my friend is no longer with us. Great memories. One of the best Nintendo games
so sorry for your loss.
My condolences
AWW THAT IS SAD😒
This has the best music out of all of the Castlevania games.
💯%!!!!!😁👍🏼
Yeah this game genuinely scared me as a kid because of the music.
Agreed. If only the game had been better :(
@@ajpyyz I disagree with the first part, but wholly agree with the second part.
People throw the word "underrated" around a lot with classic games, but I think it really applies here.
@@ajpyyz The gameplay is way better than Castlevania 1 and 3, but they threw some random puzzles, almost impossible to solve.
Simon's Quest has a highly underrated soundtrack. Thanks for the medley!

the silence of the daylight will always be one of my fave tracks from this game. since i was a child ive always loved it.
The use of harmonics for Bloody Tears is just mindblowing.
About 20 years ago a good friend of mine and I did a heavy metal version of Bloody Tears. Those harmonics were Pantera-style when we played it. To this day it's probably the most epic thing I've ever played 😂
You guys have inspired my 10yr son to learn this on his cello. We played all the Castlevanias. His mind was blown by this performance! 🙏🤘
IM 10 AND LOVE THE SONGS
Man I almost cried....so much memories....good memories!!
I cannot stop listening to this. I hear it all the time. Everything seems so important when listening to it. I listen to other things and wish it was this.
Silence of Daylight: Best Castlevania song ever written.

This is THE BEST soundtrack of the three main Castlevania for me... AMAZING WORK!!!
Epítome of NES music also with Megaman II. And the first metroidvania game
Your rendition of The Silence of Daylight is amazing. I wish it was longer.
This is a defining game in my childhood, largely due to the music. This is an absolutely breathtaking time-traveling experience to listen to. Bravo
Awe yeah. The Silence of Daylight. One of my favorites. So many memories come back hearing this. 👍👍👍
"Dwelling of Doom" makes the hair stand up, great job!! One of my favorite games on NES and it was as brutal as it' is awesome!
Wow I've never imagined that The Silence of Daylight would sound so good on acoustic guitars, I mean, it's like it was meant to be played in it!
oh damn. you did the castlevania medley a billion years ago and it was my music everyday commuting to work. now you just updated my playlist. AMAZING
When you played the speech bubble.....I was dead. What a perfect homage. You fellas are absolute legends!
Oh! Critical hit right in the nostalgia. Gave me chills.
You brought a "bloody" tear to my eye!
Simply breathtaking!

I mean it’s awesome but I wouldn’t see it taking anyone’s breath away.
What he said.
Dude! The dialogue thing and then "loading" back in after that was ingenious. Oh and the guitar playing was good too!
Never clicked on anything so fast in my life. I've wondered for years how you two would do Bloody Tears!!
Steve's bit of percussion gives BT that drive it needs; this totally slaps.
arrangement is spectacular as always :33
Steve has a wicked version of Bloody Tears on his channel. You've probably heard it but if not: th-cam.com/video/Ade0ZumI1HE/w-d-xo.html

I remember the first time hearing The Silence of Daylight. Till this day that track slays. Something about the progression just lends itself to metal tones. I'd love to see a high quality metal cover if anyone knows of one.
I would love to see a Wild Arms medley from you guys someday.
Omfg yes! From the original on the PS1. The redone music for the PS2 remake was 🗑
@@piousaugustus84 wow, that brings back the memories
The Silence of Daylight is so iconic. And the change to night was priceless. Bravo 👏
Oh boy oh boy!
Do we get a face reveal yet?
Man, I used to watch your videos years ago.... good old zombie videos. I’ll have to see what you’ve got cooking on your channel these days.
Castlevania on classical guitar is always the best thing ever.
This was freakin awesome!! Oh man, the transition from day to night just pushed it over the top! Fantastic arangment and flawless executed. Thank you SGB for bring my childhood to life through this beautiful art form!
Bloody tears is the best by far. The text box was an incredible touch
Words cannot express how much I appreciate everything about this...
just.. thank you 😭🙏👏👏👏
That transition to night was perfect 😄
Simon's Quest has the best music in the series and you guys are killing it!!! I'm going to be replaying this one a lot.
Please get this on spotify ASAP! Amazing just like I and III
I love this. These songs have been in my head for over 35 years.... a MASTERPIECE of a sound track.
Great music from a vastly underrated game! "Bloody Tears" was amazing!
The music from this game is some of the best in the series, however the gameplay is probably the worst.
Bloody Tears is one of my favorite songs of all time, and this rendition gave me chills. Great work!
Amazing sound you guys!! Incredible!
Okay so I just listened to this again for about the thousandth time, but the FIRST time through quality headphones. Wow! Best thing I've ever heard through these Bose Soundsport earbuds! Absolutely incredible guys!

Best Castlevania.
Agreed . Symphony gets hella love, for good reason, but its format was Simon's Quest
I don't care about all the negativity against this game, it was and still is awesome.... if it wasn't for the masterpiece castlevania 4, Simon's quest would be the best one made

Omg you guys killed it.. this is why I subbed to this channel
Keep up the amazing work.
one of the best medleys I have heard
I’ve been looking forward to this ever since you sent that teaser picture in Discord!
Is this where you got the cloak idea from :D
..maybe
That transition was FLAWLESS!
Ohhhhh snap! Hopefully we here a rendition of “Within These Castle Walls” very underrated tune from CV2
did you forget to watch the video before posting this?
@@quiltface83 lol 😂 no I posted it before the premiere
Well would you look at all that egg on your face

If i was a game maker , i would hire these two
I thought the same thing about these guys and Jonas Lefvert. Both have great game covers
I watched this for the first eatlier today and I've already lost count how many times I've repeated it. Spectacular work!! Takes me back to my childhood escaping into 8bit wonders.
"What a horrible night to have a curse"
This is the first CV I ever beat... I love the music. This performance actually brought me to tears!
Somewhere out there an angry nerd is having a PTSD episode
Probably several, not just one in particular.
That "What a horrible night" part jwas friggin brilliant!
Your interpretation of bloody tears was on point!
A little different vibe than Black Dahlia’s “What a horrible night to have a curse”
🤘
I'm literally crying watching this. Castlevania 2 was one of the games I loved growing up, I remember when my mom took me to Venture and bought it for me. To this day I love it and this is remarkable. Fantastic work guys!!!
Absolutely amazing. How have I lived my life without hearing this? I played Simon’s quest growing up and was such a fan of the music. And now to hear it in a live music format. Thank you!!!
all the castlevania covers are my favorite ones you guys do, something about the baroque-ness of it.
I just love that 8 bit music from the 80s and 90s is brought back to life in such amazing ways.
AMAZING. I think the music is part of the reason I loved Simon's Quest so much.
brilliant touch with the day/night swap and lighting
First Castlevania I every played. Some of my favorite game music ever. I simply can't love this enough. Thank you for this!
Back to my yearly fix of these Castlevanias medleys 🔥🔥🔥
That horrible night for a curse/fade transition was a nice touch!
this is the best castlevania game ever in my opinion, i always go back to this one
Incredible, thanks guys! That Bloody Tears had an almost Spanish sound to it and I loved it.
These translated to acoustic guitar really well. Great job! Silence of Daylight is probably my favorite video game music ever ❤
Most things translate to acoustic guitar.
Geeeeez, you guys spoil us! I love Silence of the Daylight - my favorite castlevania track ever, but the way you handled that Last Boss and went straight to Bloody Tears is simply legendary! Magnificent work, boys!
I've been waiting a long time for you guys to do Castlevania II, and you DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Great rendition!!
What a horrible night to have a curse was so creative..love how it faded just like in the game.
Your guys's castlevania medleys are all absolute 🔥
That medley is so sick! Loved that bloody tears!
I have waited soo long for somebody to actually play the dungeon theme...this is the greatest thing i have ever seen
Within these castle walls and bloody tears were my favorite. Nice medley arrangement. You guys are awesome!
Dudes! This very well may be your best video yet! Those pieces work awesome on guitar, and you guys seriously rocked it!
Last boss is so catchy, I can't kill him, I'm doing a salsa class with him and he's got such a groove.
