I always admire your mixing. Your individual guitar patches are not too heavy on it's own, but you're still able to make the whole mix both mellow and heavy at the same time. Great job dude!
So many covers fail to grasp the essence of the original, but you nailed it with this one and intensified it ten fold. Great improvement of your first attempt.
It can be hard to go back and rework a cover you already did. But this? This is God-Tier work as always. Absolutely incredible cover and equally bad ass cinematography. Never stop doing you, Rich.
Ordinarily I would not endorse changing anything about this tune, as it is already perfect, but man...incredible work. You managed to add heaviness without losing any of that painful beauty of the original.
Brutally delicious. The original was actually one of my favorite tunes of yours (or anyone's), despite the production issues, and you went and cleaned it up /and made it even better/. And the cinematography (I guess that applies?) brings it all together in an awesome way. I love your stuff. Rock on.
I too remember that first time I arrived in Zeal and heard Corridors of Time. It quickly became and has remained one of my favorite themes of all time. When I saw this video, I knew I had to watch it and listen to it. I came into it with very high hopes and really high standards because I love the original so much, and I think you'll be pleased to hear that I thoroughly enjoyed this cover. That probably sounds a bit pretentious of me, a random listener on youtube, but simply saying, "that was an amazing cover" wouldn't cut it. I figured as someone who also loves the original track so much that you deserved nothing less than an honest appraisal of your cover. In my opinion, you accomplished what you set out to do and then some. Not only did you make this song your own, It was very much emotional, very much a hard hitting piece, and yet it stayed close enough to the original to still be identifiable and carry the nostalgic weight of the original. Once again, you've done another amazing cover, as I've come to expect from you.
Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite turn based Rpg, and you have absolutely smashed this cover. One of the best covers of this song I have ever heard
Didn't think you could put such a chill track to metal and it still be chill and heavy AF. This used to be my go-to on loop if I needed to take a time-out from the game or just in general. Bravo good sir, completely epic!
I'll admit, I had my doubts when you claimed to have stepped away from the original style... but this is still tasteful and triggers the right nostalgia points in my brain so. thanks for the memories man haha
You REDID it? Holy crap, haven't even listened to it yet and my mind is already blown. Your first CoT cover is what got me hooked on your channel, been listening ever since. Awesome seeing how your channel's grown since then.
I admit that I have not played through Chrono Trigger, and the original melody is unknown to me. But this still brought tears to my eyes, striking a chord deep within. Utterly fantastic!
Chrono Trigger is literally my favorite game of all time (heh), so thank you SO MUCH for doing such amazing work with the soundtrack. Can't wait to hear more 💚🖤💜
Nice work, dude! I really dig this arrangement. You put your own spin on it and it works beautifully. Again, I am floored by your technical proficiency. I don't think I heard a single note out of place rhythmically which is most impressive. It reminds me that I need to get back to practicing scales every day!
Aw, man, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully it lived up to the #HYPE. It's a very powerful piece of music which fits that section of the game so perfectly. I only hope that did it some justice and that my lyrics were fitting to the subject matter. I tried to keep them subtle and not bombard the listener with too much philosophical gibberish. I'd like to hear your interpretation when it's finished! It'd be tricky to pull it off with distorted guitars, but I definitely think it's possible. Now that you mention it, yeah, I think the solo is a tiny bit too loud. That only proves my point that I really need to get some damned monitors! Thanks for the comment, dude!
Dude excellent work as always! So glad I found this channel originally from a Pokemon video some months ago, it has so much hype at my job, when I'm like Richaad has a new video everyone in my area wants to listen, keep it up!
This is amazing!!! I discovered your channel with the version you did 2 years ago, as many others here I'm sure. This re-recorded version is bringing many good memories back, from the game itself but also from discovering the whole VGM cover scene on youtube. Cheers for that!
I remember your original song, and thinking the same thing..I wished the lead had been a bit louder. It was still incredibly impressive! This is amazing too...so neat to see you grow into an awesome musician!
Dude this is HEAVY
thankee sai!!
Both of you guys made amazing covers of my favourite video game music of all time.
Brings back memories every single time, thanks guys
RichaadEB If the Smooth one approves, you know you nailed it. Great work.
tortuga388 I read that as "If the Smooth approves," which gave me one hearty laugh.
Collab plz! :3

hey hi hello there - enjoy your stay~!
"My favorite song of Chrono Trigger"
I mean, it's easily one of the best song ever IMO. Corridors of Time is so good.
Oh you know how long I've been waiting to hear this, I think your original was the cover that whooped half the community to getguder.
I still think the comment you left on that video is the nicest youtube comment ive recieved
As cringy as jeebus that was, it holds up and another 50 kids are gonna get into prog VG
RichaadEB I love chrono trigger and heavy music this here is doublelove idk how to call it both vids are great
so different but so good
before starting: didn't he do this already
after starting: holy shit, don't stop daddy
Milk Me Daddy
I always admire your mixing. Your individual guitar patches are not too heavy on it's own, but you're still able to make the whole mix both mellow and heavy at the same time. Great job dude!
This reminds me of first discovering your channel D; So good dude!
Man, this cover always hits different since 2017 and i believe this feeling will never change.
Why is this piece so good?
Because it was designed to go down in time. Heh.
oh yeah!
Zenith Tempest I see what you did there ;)
There was once a time I thought there might have been too many covers of this song. I've never been so wrong.
Happy 5 Year Anniversary to the best metal cover of a video game track in existence
THIS IS REALLY GOOD, RICH
AND THE CAMERAWORK AND SELECTION OF SHOTS ARE REALLY GOOD TOO AAAAA
Even after almost 3 decades... still got the goosebumps when I listen to this song.
So many covers fail to grasp the essence of the original, but you nailed it with this one and intensified it ten fold. Great improvement of your first attempt.
It can be hard to go back and rework a cover you already did.
But this? This is God-Tier work as always. Absolutely incredible cover and equally bad ass cinematography. Never stop doing you, Rich.
I fucking love your take on this track
Ordinarily I would not endorse changing anything about this tune, as it is already perfect, but man...incredible work. You managed to add heaviness without losing any of that painful beauty of the original.
Your original cover was already really good, yet you still improved upon it?
Wow man, I didn't think that was possible o_O
This is almost TOO good.
I couldn't even imagine what this would sound like as a metal cover but now that I can hear it, I'm so glad you decided to make this! This ROCKED!
Thrice lyrics in the description, plus Corridors of Time that fuckin' shreds. You - I like you.
Brutally delicious. The original was actually one of my favorite tunes of yours (or anyone's), despite the production issues, and you went and cleaned it up /and made it even better/. And the cinematography (I guess that applies?) brings it all together in an awesome way.
I love your stuff. Rock on.
always good to see you arranging chrono trigger
that build-up to the solo at 1:50 (and the solo itself) is just plain eargasmic

Oh, Richaad, each of your covers are like serenades, and I'm falling more and more in love. Don't stop. Ever.
This isn't what I expected next out of you and I love it so, so much.
Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite turn based Rpg, and you have absolutely smashed this cover. One of the best covers of this song I have ever heard
Undertale must have been like winning lottery for you man since you seem to be doing so well nowadays! Keep the awesome stuff up!
I've never "liked" a video as fast as I did this one. This is phenomenal!
Omg Rich AMAZING! Your original cover of this was my all time favorite by you and you just made it 1000000 times better thank you so much!
Didn't think you could put such a chill track to metal and it still be chill and heavy AF. This used to be my go-to on loop if I needed to take a time-out from the game or just in general. Bravo good sir, completely epic!
My god man, you have hands-down the best mixes on TH-cam in my opinion, and I've watched many people. Phenomenal re-release.
I have never clicked a notification so fast! It's awesome to see you revisit this song again, and make it even better! Incredible fucking job man!
The most iconic game for my first console. Dude you rock. Thanks for helping me re-discover my favorite SNES game.
Wow this cover was incredible. By far the coolest rendition I've ever heard of this song.
When that first chorus hits with the 32nd note kick drum and the high wail on the lead.... bliss
I'll admit, I had my doubts when you claimed to have stepped away from the original style... but this is still tasteful and triggers the right nostalgia points in my brain so.
thanks for the memories man haha
Cyril the Wolf heh, Triggers.
You REDID it? Holy crap, haven't even listened to it yet and my mind is already blown. Your first CoT cover is what got me hooked on your channel, been listening ever since.
Awesome seeing how your channel's grown since then.
Alright, alright, alright... that was sick. Richaa Deb P4P the best Deb in the game right now.
That shot at 2:15 still gets my attention even when I'm not looking at the window while this plays. Great stuff.
One of the most epic things I have seen on the internet.
your chrono trigger covers are my favorit thing on youtube
I was blown away in ten seconds. Freaking phenomenal work
I thought your previous cover on this song couldn't be topped. I was wrong. Keep doing these awesome covers Rich
Thanks, Rich! My favorite song from my (still) favorite game. You freaking nailed this one. Then again, you nail them all. Great cover!
i dont usually comment but this cover was so good it made me cry. thanks for the nostalgia trip
Ah yes, a true artist that polishes their work. It’s quite cool to see improvement.
Corridors of Time, Schala's Theme, Undersea Palace, Black Omen... Zeal really has the best music in the game.
Seriously, dude... this is beyond awesome. This is pure genius! Nice job!
Awesome! Also, props to the cinematographer, excellent work!
Dude. This is SO GOOD
Needs a "love" button. Some of my favorite video game music of all time, played in my favorite style of music. You are insanely awesome.
I love that your renewing covers of old songs is so good
AHHHHHH YOU REVISITED MY FAVORITE COVER!!!!! SO FREAKING GOOOD!!!
Rich, this originality (along with your amazing skill) is what truly separates you from the rest. You did an awesome job with this song!
This is so fucking good, fantastic job rich. This is your best yet!
Freaking great remake dude!!!! :O
The old version of this video is what made me find your channel =D, subscribed and enjoying your content since then.
It's great to see that you just keep getting better and better, this one is awesome both musically and visually.
This brought actual tears to my eyes. Flawless
This is my favorite game song ever and you made it more special. Thanks!
I admit that I have not played through Chrono Trigger, and the original melody is unknown to me. But this still brought tears to my eyes, striking a chord deep within. Utterly fantastic!
Awesome rework ! There's an incredible jump on image quality, great job !
One of my favorite themes from Chrono Trigger, yes!
Physically gave me goosebumps!! I love your work as always, Chrono Trigger is still my all time favorite RPG. :D
Hell yeah brother. You just made an already awesome song even better.
Havent listened to it yet, I already know it's amazing. I am shook with anticipation...pushing play now
Ahem....AHHHHHHHHH
I still come back to this song regularly even a year later, this is one hell of a cover.
I could watch this all day. Just found your channel and I'm very glad I did.
This is the greatest rendition of Corridors of Time I've ever heard, still listening to this 6 years later
Check out FamilyJules' cover of it.
Chrono Trigger is literally my favorite game of all time (heh), so thank you SO MUCH for doing such amazing work with the soundtrack. Can't wait to hear more 💚🖤💜
I loved the previous cover of corridors of time that you did a while ago, but this, this is pure GOLD
My expectations were high, you clearly delivered!
the world needs so much more of this
Nice work, dude! I really dig this arrangement. You put your own spin on it and it works beautifully.
Again, I am floored by your technical proficiency. I don't think I heard a single note out of place rhythmically which is most impressive. It reminds me that I need to get back to practicing scales every day!

Thanks for the comment, dude!
This is such a fantastic cover - the deep djent notes, the relentless rhythm, the beautiful flow of the melody - truly great!
It's absolutely amazing seeing the comradery that these TH-cam musicians have.
Glad to see that they acknowledge each others accomplishments.
I love the Thrice lyric in description, it's evidentially from my favourite song of theirs.
Also this version is amazing.
Man, I can thank you enough for this! Just perfect!
This is my absolute favorite track from Chrono Trigger and you did it Justice. Excellent work man. Keep it up!
Dude,you just turned my childhood into a masterpiece(eventho CT IS a master piece) nice job man,continue the good work

This is actually really soothing.
The Best Chrono Trigger Cover
Well to be honest dude, I think this is my favourite cover of yours.. Amazing job, this sounds powerful af!

Few people are able do do good metal covers. this is great!
This was always my favorite Chrono Trigger song. Great cover!!
Amazing,epic and special nostalgy.
I remember your original song, and thinking the same thing..I wished the lead had been a bit louder. It was still incredibly impressive! This is amazing too...so neat to see you grow into an awesome musician!
Hot damn. You are an incredible composer with that guitar of yours.

This is so amazing, I just pledged on patreon. Keep it up man, your work is insane!
As much as I liked the old version, this new version leaves it buried in the ground. Thank you for this.
