_Escape from New York_ was simply a documentary from an alternative timeline. He just travelled into a time machine to get there, and he came back and changed history. So he indeed was ahead of his time.
I like how this is sort of a mix between the original Escape from NY version and the Escape from LA version. The only change I would make would be to keep the bassline synth and the drums low-key at the beginning, then go full-on metal when the main riff kicks in (about 0:33), instead of starting at 100; if you have the stems handy, I'd actually be happy to mock this up for you in Ableton and show you what I mean.
Great cover of the "Escape from New York" theme. I am getting ready to eventually do a bushcraft and survival channel on youtube and would love to use this version as my videos opening music. I'm a big Snake Plissken fan.
@VikingGuitar dude this is incredible, I’ve been searching for years of a good remix and gave up long ago, tried yours just to see if it was anything decent and I am definitely surprised lol please do more 🎧 jammin out to this for the past few hours now 😎
The creator of the franchise was a fan of the film and made Snake resemble Snake Pliskin explicitly. The mullet, the eyepatch, and the name. The fact Revolver Ocelot gives you John Carpenter vibes comes as no surprise.
Hey, thanks! This is my arrangement and performance here. I still think John Carpenter's is basically perfect, but I'm really glad to hear you dig the metal version here!
I'm ADDICTED to this brilliant shit !! THANK YOU VIKING METAL !! YOU RULE major , brother !! Listen to the Guitar sound , playing & the arrangements ... AND that DEEP BASS . The guy is ASTONISHING !
WTF ! Absolutely brilliant , Viking Guitar ! As a 47 year old Snake Plissken fan Metalhead , I gave 101% approval ! Your version RULES , brother ! Master JOHN CARPENTER should call you to play this version live in his Tour ! If they remake Escapes , YOU should be responsible for the soundtracks ! Kudos from Brasil =)
I came here from a video on Soviet Tanks which has this song as background music. Just as the main guitar riffs kick off, they show a Marshal of the Soviet union rolling up in an open top UAZ 469 and being saluted by a Lieutenant General of the red army in front of a literally endless row of tanks massed for EX ZAPAD 1981. ITS INCREDIBLE.
Hey man thanks for that! Favorite movie. Favorite soundtrack. And you made it in late Paradise Lost style in my opinion. 1:30 remind me their "Over the Madness" song arrangement. This is a MASTERPIECE! \m/ \m/
Zik Zak That film is like Terminator 3. It does not exist. It will NEVER exist. And should it come into existence like some misbegotten, mutated abortion-survival, it would be necessary to create a time machine and some sort of killer cyborg to go back from the future to kill EVERYONE involved in its creation.
Speaking as a metalhead who fucking LOVES John Carpenter's documentaries, especially the ones about Kurt FUCKING Russell I have to say that I don't think this needed doing, but I'm glad that you did it anyway
Esuba Hi! Thanks for the comment. Yeah, the original is exceptional in how emotional it is with relatively little in terms of instrumentation. I wanted to try something different with this interpretation, but no cover will ever be as great as the original. :-)
Great rendition on awesome soundtrack, I was thinkin maybe that first you just take that melody through power chords, and then do the solo part at second half...anyway regardsss
Thanks for the comment! I'm really glad you like the song. Unfortunately, the licensing in place doesn't allow me to give it out for use in other videos. If you're looking for something similar, I'd be happy to talk to you about recording a custom song. You're welcome to comment here or email me at viking.guitar.productions@gmail.com. Thanks again!
@@PearsAreOkay It actually IS on Spotify now, but happened after I changed my handle from "VikingGuitar" to "Viking Guitar," so it's a bit hidden. I'm working on fixing it. Here's a link! open.spotify.com/track/38Zbh1ODbLbJF0bDK7NKzJ?si=f162ecfca5034686
I'ma add onto this-- I finally got to listen to this with my gaming headset... Holy shit. It's just so much better than what you can hear with my shitty phone speaker. Ultimate props to you man. This is the best cover of a movie/game/etc theme I've ever heard.

Bad news: I lost my left eye
Best News: EYEPATCH BITCH
Hahaha, that put a smile on my face!
This Theme tune was made to have an 80's metal version. Also Snake Plissken is without a doubt the coolest action hero ever created.
Thanks for the kind words!
Gotta agree...
I would argue...I would tell you you're wrong...but...YOU'RE NOT!!!
John Carpenter would be proud of this version you rocked it man.
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
no need for a remake kurt can still kick ass, use this for a 3rd one
Shawn Rakes But this time he shuts down America!
Robert Rodriguez is remaking the movie in 2021
@@Embargoman He shut down the world in Escape From LA
He can be Old Snake, like in Metal Gear Solid 4.
VikingGuitar you are the duke of youtube a#1
That's wonderful news! Do I get an inauguration ceremony? If so, you're invited.
The Name's Plisskin
Billy Price Call me Snake.
Shows how far ahead of his time John Carpenter was.

I don't usually like electronic music as rock/metal covers, but you somehow managed to nail it.
Listen to his version of The Thing.
If my life had a theme song, this would be it. Awesome.

Hey, that's great to hear! I'm really glad you like it so much. I still enjoy listening to it, as well. :-)
Probably the best version apart from the original, outstanding!
Thank you for the comment! Yeah, the original is basically untouchable. I'm glad you enjoyed my version here!
"you gonna kill me now, Snake?"
"I'm too tired. Maybe later."
i want this played at my funeral it rocks.
SNAKE PLISSKEN OFFICIALLY APPROVED.
Such a poetry!
its...
oh i know what u did here
If this doesn’t get the adrenaline going I don’t know what will!!!! Badass cover! 🤘🏻
If i was a wrestler or a boxer this would be my intro music.
@Bruce Colton pathetic
Escape from PunchClub
I am and I do!!!
Same
I am a wrestler and this is what I use!!
Boy ... This is just too cool, I can't believe I stumbled upon this! Thanks for your piece of art!!
Is John Carpenter one of the Patriots? I mean he looks pretty much revolver ocelot lol
lol good point xD
Well... in Son's Of Liberty... SS says to be called Pliskin.
Wouldn't be surprised if Ocelots look was based on John

"Escape from Planet Earth"

Zach, that's covered in the Kurt Russell documentary Soldier.
I need this movie so bad
The third movie was suppose to be Escape from Mars
this song could be in the 3rd part of snake plissken
Escape 3: Escape from Detroit theme song *confirmed.*
Robocop guest stars in Escape from Detroit...
Peter Weller will be returning as the gun slinging cyborg cop...
I would nut on sight if they announced this film.
All ace. Especially the double kick flurry at the crescendo before the outro. Sweet.
Thank you! Really glad that you enjoyed it. :-)
dude, fuckin perfect!!! I play bass, and this song is my favorite to play...
lol Same here.
countless times i worked out to this, excellent remix dude!
Hell yeah! Happy to help you get those gains. Thanks for the comment!
This is my new favorite song.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!

Awesome! I was waiting for someone to do a metal version of the EFNY theme song.
Glad you dig it! Thanks for watching!
@@vikingguitar You're welcome! It's one of my most favorite classic movies from when I was a kid back in the 1980s and I love the soundtrack!
Nice metal remix brother!Been looping it for 2 hours now!
Yep! It's the first part of the vid description. ;-)
"The Thing", "Escape from New York", what's next ? L.A. ?

Bad ass, my friend!! You hit it out of the park.
From the first time I heard this, I have to listen to this at least once a day! You rock!
Superb rendition of a great sound..
I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. :-)
can someone please cut a trailer to this? would be awesome.
you know i could lol, however i use multiple accounts so it might not be this channel the video is on but i'll link the video ;)
Best metal cover-'ever'
Badass cover
Thanks, dude!
@@vikingguitar - I’m actually still listening to this track right now. It’s practically been on loop since I discovered it!
The Brain-"I heard you were dead Plissken."
Plissken-"Call me Snake."
the awesomeness is high in this track!
can we have a remix from this remix
great work, but i probably would have prefered it a bit more minimalistic, like the original theme. absolutely no hate, of course.
Esuba Hi! Thanks for the comment. Yeah, the original is exceptional in how emotional it is with relatively little in terms of instrumentation. I wanted to try something different with this interpretation, but no cover will ever be as great as the original. :-)
***** My lips are sealed. Don't throw up any more organs. You might need them later. :-P
This is a hero's theme. Snake is not a hero, but his actions say otherwise.
If they did do a remake they should use this theme :)
what about a game covering the story of the first movie.
Angry Review Was one set to come oa generation sor two ago but it was cancelled.
This makes me want to fight a legion of underground subway cannibals with my bare hands.
You did some nice work there. Axel Rose should be proud!
Thank you!

Great work man
fuck I'm wearing an eyepatch

VikingGuitar, do you wear an eye patch when you play this?
No, but I really should.
Love it. Where can I download it
The bandcamp link should be in the video description. Thanks!
Kick-ass tune... Great stuff.
my new favorite song :D
This was great!
Very cool metal cover
Thanks!
Brilliant! Wanted to say thank you before I grabbed the MP3 link!
Absolutely love it
Dude, this is kick ass. I love Kurt Russell. I want this played as my casket is lowered! Hahah

has anyone ever done a mashup between this and metal gear solid? that would be pretty awesome in metal
Extremely awesome.
This sounds pretty epic,
Cool just say :)) your guitar is confortable,,, I hope your sounds will be track by the next Escape ciquense!
'Yassss" Keep it metal !.
Great drummer also here
Well done!
Thank you!
Is there an Mp3 of this somewhere?
Pure Awesomeness !!!!!
This is pretty fucking good. I really like how you've done it, great improv!
Hell yes I love this remix, well done
In french we say "EPIQUEMENT BADASS" ☝️😲
Very nice job bro👌
Absolutely brilliant sir!!!
Okay, they need to get John Carpenter to make a new "Escape From" movie, and make this the theme.
RandyPantheGoatBoy You may get your wish there.
Only they plan to have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson act in it.
Darkmage1293 As the Duke of New York?
RandyPantheGoatBoy Unless you know of a better person to cast as Snake Plissken.
Darkmage1293 Ben Foster.
Gerard Butler for Snake!
Who can dislike this?
Dude!!!!!!! Is this available to download???
Yep! Check the video description. Thanks!
PLS PLS DO PORK CHOP EXPRESS FROM BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
This is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
About time for a remake of this m.p movie isn't it?
Usually I prefer more synth music then metal but in this case I think metal is the best thing which could happen with these titles...
I really appreciate that! Yes, Carpenter's synth style is flawless, but I'm happy with how this song translates to guitars and drums. :-)
This is seriously fucking amazing.
I'ma add onto this-- I finally got to listen to this with my gaming headset... Holy shit. It's just so much better than what you can hear with my shitty phone speaker. Ultimate props to you man. This is the best cover of a movie/game/etc theme I've ever heard.
