Subscribing to you is like waiting for at a 5 star restaurant. You make reservations and wait for a long time but once you get in. It's one experience that's WORTH waiting for.
The turning point of this cover going into the second half is actually euphoric, this is so excellent, I watched this when it came out and I’m surprised I didn’t comment Much love, you always deliver 👏
It’s honestly amazing how you turned a catchy 1 minute loop into an almost 9 minute emotional rollercoaster. Seriously, you are probably my favorite VGM remixer at the moment and am always looking forward to your next upload. At least three of your songs deserve a spot on anybody’s VGM playlist.

I know right! dude i listen to this song at least 1 time per day, it boosts my work like 300% lmao. What a genius.
the horn counter melody beginning at 5:58 really brings out the desperation in the lead melody from that point onwards. this is superior music craftsmanship. i find myself listening to this at least once a week. edit: anyone else get this progression of upbeat rocker tunes in x, then in x2 and even more so in x3, the themes become more and more melancholic as if x himself is having an internal struggle to understand or becomes disillusioned with what it is he's doing. a hero in one story is a villain in another.
He added so much of his soul to this song, yet he kept the original essence into it. It's not just the same song played at different instruments. This is top tier musician's work
Hey bro, I like this remix, it truly is more than impeccable and overwhelming, you have my respect, it fascinates me, with this MegaMan X3 soundtrack it does fill me with pride in continuing to play.
@@haha_hollie I dunno. Just because 3 and 4, more so the latter than the former, are so short doesn't mean they wouldn't work in a Medley. Though, I will say this. If you did a medley of the four, you'd need to follow it up with something at the end because ending it on Stage 4 just feels.....incomplete. Plus, I'm confident that putting together a Sigma Fortress Medley would be a cakewalk for our boi Metalltool here. =P
As a kid I'd put this tune on from the games sound test and do my chores. Now I do those chores to your rendition in my pocket!! Wonderful work! Washing dishes is epic again!
Dude, I listen to your remixes always, and this in particular since its release a few years ago, but I never commented... what an incredible work you did here, really! personally, I think this is your best remix ever. You have my respect and admiration, greetings from Chile my friend!
A song about a Reploid who went Maverick on his own accord who lost his brother from an unusual person named "X". And he wants revenge so he orchestrated this attack on the Aerial Crafter as a means to lure X here to kill him the same way he killed his brother making it as if he's the hero. Which is why the song sounds so heroic, but at the same time heartbreaking which is the absolute beauty of this soundtrack. It's making you think that Gravity Beetle is in the right and he's the hero and not Mega Man X. As if he's punishing and killing X for not trying to find a better solution instead. In other words, it's a tragic tale told in such a melancholy way that it can't be described hard enough with words alone. 💔
Love that riff from 3:45!! Anything higher up on the fretboard that also uses 4th's to some degree usually has a totally rockin' sound that balances out the heavier riffs that're pitched lower.
Cada vez que la escucho lloro... Realmente kinuyo Yamashita es un maestro, pero con tus arreglos queda excepcional !! Me llegan al corazón músicos de gran calibre. Saludos desde chile, maule.
Wow, this arrangement is on another level! The original is one of my favorite tracks in the MMX series, and you lifted it to new heights with all the extra guitar and synth solos. Amazing job!
I bow to your arranging skill and musicianship. This is a perfect capture of the spirit of the Gravity Beetle stage and I'll forever point to this as the quintessential soundtrack of this stage. Thanks for posting
This is literally my favorite cover of anything on the internet like so much love, time and passion went into this song. I literally love this cover so fkin much I've been listening since it dropped and my feelings havent changed
You nailed my favorite X track ever. Thanks for putting this together! You are very talented. Love the other song cameos you added in, like Beetle's brother's.
YES! Metalltool LIVES!!! I love your unique takes on lesser known Mega Man jams. Your rendition of Mega Man 10, Wily 3 has been my favorite...but now it looks like a new challenger has arrived!
Me tome el atrevemiento de usar este cover para darle fuerza a la conclusión de un video de aniversario. Ya que tiene muchas emociones en una sola pieza. Tranquilidad, emoción, transición, poder, motivación y suspenso. Lo repito otra vez, el mejor cover que he escuchado de un videojuego. Mis respetos bro y muchas gracias por hacer esta obra de arte. Gracias man, eres grande.
I've been listening this masterpiece for a whole year. Still cant' describe my feelings. One of the most unique, beautiful and amazing music I've heard in all my life.
I love how your remix manages to picture Beetle's characteristics and feelings in the song. One of the first to question the definition of a Maverick and to stand for what he believed in, grieving and struggling but still having faith on his own strength and maybe not knowing precisely what is right but definitely knowing what is wrong, Gravity Beetle was really a special reploid. He'll always be my personal favorite.
I somehow missed this. TH-cam's subscription system is a load of balls. Anyway, as for the arrange: Honestly, you've outdone yourself. You either put a ton of work into this or you're some kind of genius, but either way, stellar job, 'cause this is pretty much fantastic from start to finish. also we have the same haircut now which is maybe a big part of why it sounds so great
Well done, Metalltool! Not only have you made a triumphant return, but this cover has managed to work *BOTH* the SNES and PSX/Sega Saturn versions of Gravity Beetle's theme. Not many people can do that. *Congratulations!*
Get out of here. I was literally wondering just this week when/if you were gonna do Gravity Beetle next. Favorite track in X3 and you've went above and beyond. Your best work yet, absolutely worth the long wait time between uploads. Keep up the amazing work, Hoss.
Yes! You're back again! I found you years back, from that Power Rangers: The Movie SNES cover (still holds up to this day), and have awaited every piece you've done since. Keep it up, my dude.
Dude this cover is absolutely AMAZING!!! I love the dramatic keyboard at the beginning. Had to share this to a friend of mine who is a big fan of the Megaman Series. Keep up the good work!
The middle section is fucking brilliant. The slow part gave me that Frost Walrus (second part of the stage) vibe. Also the breakthrough to the faster part of the interlude... goosebumps. Kudos to your dedicated work!!!
Dude, that is THE BEST remix of this track that I have EVER heard. You capitalized on the right parts of the song PERFECTLY, extending them and adding to the rest of the song in ways that makes it feel anthemic, epic, storied, emotional, triumphant, and powerful. You combine so many music styles from so many artists across so many eras of music so perfectly that other artists of considerably more fame and recognition than you fail to even grasp. Remixes like these are one of the few instances of music that can truly move me, and even amongst those fewer still can move me as this track has done. THANK YOU.
holy shit. This sounds absolutely outstanding. It's so sad that this amazing cover is mostly unknown. You are incredibly skilled in music, and I aspire to be as talented as you are. I hope you continue to make these Mega Man X covers, as not only they sound great, but It brings me joy in listening to such and god-like music. Kudos.
You know there aren't many good remixes and versions of MMX ost, but this one along with some others around is quite good man. I listened to it many times.
My words cannot express what I feel when listening to this song. I remember Carl Sagan explaining how 2d objects could not contemplate all of reality in a 3d way. In a similar way this music transcends what words can achieve.
This is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. This hits so hard and perfectly keeps the feeling of the original intact. I can not stop playing this. Thank you for doing this.
Dude you did such an amazing job with this, this is 8 minutes of pure enjoyment to listen to. You are a legend man thank you so much for making this :D keep up the outstanding work!
What impressed me about this cover is the quality of the instrumentation, the tone, the keyboard, everything reminds me of something from the PS1 MMX soundtrack
Such an awesome cover, insane man. I just love the part from 4:45 to 5:40 so much! Ooo I have the same Ibanez guitar (the white one) what a gem that is to play on!
*I always listen to this whenever I'm struggling against a really good opponent, it gives me that goosebumps and will to not give up, unlimited energy.... ROCK ON!*
this is the best Megaman cover I've ever heard in my life. Probably one of the best videogame covers, even. You really need to know how HARD you nailed this, man!
I still listen to this a few times a week minimum. Right around 4 minutes in is amazing
Thank you!
This level of fan service should be illigal. I nearly broke my volume dial...
Nice detail: the motif from Kuwanger's theme
Subscribing to you is like waiting for at a 5 star restaurant. You make reservations and wait for a long time but once you get in. It's one experience that's WORTH waiting for.
I'd like the Flame-broiled Stag Burger, and the High-Gravity beetle lager.....Maybe some Calamari from the Launch menu.
This is like the most interesting analogy I have probably ever heard 💯 I agree. Metaltool definitely rocks🤘🏿
All I can say is thank you my friends! I really love doing this. The reactions are very flattering! Thank you!
My boy you have earned a subscriber

I've been looping your Under Fire remix for years, and now you gave us all this awesome jam. Much obliged, man, and thank you, through and through.
This is really epic! Thank you man
i kid you not, this is the video that introduced me to mega man
Welcome to the community bro 😎
Well now u know one of the best game ever made
That unnecessarily sad intro was unnecessarily damn good!!!
Billboards100: "Music by Beatles captures generation"
Gravity Beetle: "Hold my Energy Tank"

"My name is Gravity Beetle. You killed my brother. Prepare to die."
X: “no U”
x:I had no other choice sorry
X: "Anything you want.."
*proceeds to try and kill Gravity Beetle but gets defeated by him*
Beetle: "I want my brother back, you son of a reploid."
@@defeatedboy3774 Such feels XD
This was really hard to handle back then. I wish someday they make a Megaman X anime or something, there is so much good music, lore, etc
As someone who listens to a frankly absurd amount of MMX music, this is absolutely one of my favorites now.
Que es la musica MMX???
@@TheKeonda10 mega man x
The turning point of this cover going into the second half is actually euphoric, this is so excellent, I watched this when it came out and I’m surprised I didn’t comment
Much love, you always deliver 👏
5:59 I knew you would hint some references to Boomer Kuwanger's theme. It's mandatory. Best Beetle bros ftw. Epic remix dude!!
The fact the game footage has been recorded on an actual CRT is just impressive and appreciated.
I love the piano at the beginning so much
It’s honestly amazing how you turned a catchy 1 minute loop into an almost 9 minute emotional rollercoaster. Seriously, you are probably my favorite VGM remixer at the moment and am always looking forward to your next upload. At least three of your songs deserve a spot on anybody’s VGM playlist.

This is it.
This is THE best cover of this theme, ever.
three years and i still come back every few weeks to listen to this masterpiece. hands down the best MMX cover ever created.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it
Yeah since discovering these awesome guitar covers they will always be in my brain!
5:55 YOU WORKED BOOMER KUWANGER'S THEME INTO THIS SONG HOW CAN YOU BE THIS GOOD
Boomer kuwanger is the brother of gravity beetle
Makes perfect sense, in the manga boomer kuwanger and gravity beatle are brothers, same as launch octopus and squid adler.
@Travis Whalen that would be soooo cool
This guy knows how it goes🔥
Right??? That Boomer Kuwanger's piece caught me off guard!
Nice to see a left handed guitarist also. We are a very very rare breed.
I still listen to this. We all know one pawn who won’t stop… who won’t stop … WHO WON’T STOP.
the horn counter melody beginning at 5:58 really brings out the desperation in the lead melody from that point onwards. this is superior music craftsmanship. i find myself listening to this at least once a week.
edit: anyone else get this progression of upbeat rocker tunes in x, then in x2 and even more so in x3, the themes become more and more melancholic as if x himself is having an internal struggle to understand or becomes disillusioned with what it is he's doing. a hero in one story is a villain in another.
Thank you! Comments like yours make it worthwhile putting so much time and care into it.
Great tribute to his brother as well! This was awesome!
He added so much of his soul to this song, yet he kept the original essence into it. It's not just the same song played at different instruments. This is top tier musician's work
Not gonna lie, the intro had me ugly crying real bad. Was damn beautiful. You got yourself a sub mate!
Hey bro, I like this remix, it truly is more than impeccable and overwhelming, you have my respect, it fascinates me, with this MegaMan X3 soundtrack it does fill me with pride in continuing to play.
Man, you have to make a remix of the first level of Sigma Fortress - Megaman X1
psst! nobody is supposed to know....
@@Metalltool Sooo there goes the surprise I guess.
@@Metalltool :0
Why stop at just the 1st level? Why not make a medley out of it using all four Sigma Fortress themes?
@@haha_hollie I dunno. Just because 3 and 4, more so the latter than the former, are so short doesn't mean they wouldn't work in a Medley. Though, I will say this.

i keep coming back to this cover man! i just love it!
I've heard that X3 opening cover like a million times now, so i knew what to expect when this came out. Thank you so much for this gift ^_^
You mean "under fire"? Thats probable the best mega man arrangement ever performed... and i know ALOT good ones.......
@@GuiltyGearRockYou so right, his under fire cover is perfection in my book.
The only. Repeat: ONLY cover of this piece that captures the correct essence of the original. Others tried, you made it. Awesome job!!!
Nailed it with that comment, that's the way it is
One of my favorite MMX3 tracks! Your covers always hit like a fully charged X-Buster shot! Thanks a lot for this epic masterpiece!
I believe my face melted off halfway through this, but I'm too busy hitting replay to confirm. Best Gravity Beetle cover hands down!
Dude, I listen to your remixes always, and this in particular since its release a few years ago, but I never commented...
what an incredible work you did here, really! personally, I think this is your best remix ever.

this absolutely bangs, just epic as heck

Everyone talks about the boomer kuwanger reference but the Red's theme reference at 4:00 onwards is awesome.
Oh Bruno!!! Those guitar solos are epic!!!! And I love that 80's new wave touch!!!
I will listen to that tune ALOT of times........
Absolute banger. Didn't expect anything less.
You nailed my favorite X track ever. Thanks for putting this together! You are very talented. Love the other song cameos you added in, like Beetle's brother's.

One of my favorite X songs that is often overlooked. Awesome cover!
I've been listening to this over and over again. Metalltool, you are metal GOD!
My friend, the metal is yet to be unleashed... Stay tuned ;)
Third comment after 4 years, just passing by to say that this is STILL the very, single, individual, specific, BEST remix of this song ever made.
My words cannot express what I feel when listening to this song.
I remember Carl Sagan explaining how 2d objects could not contemplate all of reality in a 3d way.
In a similar way this music transcends what words can achieve.
I played this stage with your cover on in the background. It changed my life.
Added to the mix because it deserves it. Epic set.
This is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. This hits so hard and perfectly keeps the feeling of the original intact. I can not stop playing this. Thank you for doing this.
Underrated as all hell
The riff at 3:45 just hits so hard and is so empowering. Going through some stuff right now and it struck a way I wasn't expecting. Many thanks
Kicks the absolute CRAP out of the official PS1/Saturn arrangement of this song, and then some. Well done!
Dude you did such an amazing job with this, this is 8 minutes of pure enjoyment to listen to. You are a legend man thank you so much for making this :D keep up the outstanding work!
What impressed me about this cover is the quality of the instrumentation, the tone, the keyboard, everything reminds me of something from the PS1 MMX soundtrack
This is my second comment already but i just can't not express how much i love this. Gravity Beetle's SOUL is in this song.
Thanks bud
The 80's synth midway killed it bro. Unexpected but completely needed! Great work!
I don’t usually comment, but the gravity of your talent threw me off center. Thank you for adding this piece to our lives
WOW!!!!! I had to stop working, stand up, and clap. This cover is phenomenal. Been on repeat for the last hour. Good Job!

*I always listen to this whenever I'm struggling against a really good opponent, it gives me that goosebumps and will to not give up, unlimited energy.... ROCK ON!*
I like how you used the keyboard for this one, especially towards the end. Mad props as always man! Love hearing your work!
I listen to this frequently on my drive to work. I love the change in tone between the intro and the main body of the song. Excellent work.
this is the best Megaman cover I've ever heard in my life. Probably one of the best videogame covers, even. You really need to know how HARD you nailed this, man!
Thank you!
This was my favorite theme when I was younger. His theme still automatically bops in my head every now and again
or every 5 minutes
this is f*cking beautiful
Really exceptional work and a joy to listen to
Coming back to this masterpiece to remind myself how perfect it actually is.
