This game cover is the most honest cover of any NES game. He does most of his magic through potions, his quest is to assemble that staff to beat the game, and his muscles generate this music.
Yknow. I almost ALWAYS HATE old music remixes. They always LOSE something when you try to modernize them, because they were composed around those charming 8 bit sounds. BUT HOLY GOD DAMN, THIS HIT ALL OF THE NAILS ON THE HEAD, BUILT THE HOUSE, BOUGHT IT AND DEMOLISHED IT.
Something Hank Well, Tim Follin was actually heavily inspired by progressive rock when he composed a lot of his music, so a rock remix makes perfect sense.
@@shadowfeather5248 actually, I was replying to someone else's comment that made it about politics... you know, the comment literally just before mine. He's the one that mentioned the electoral race. I thought his joke was funny and I decided to complement it with additional, topical content. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I have a very generous girlfriend that is happy to donate some Summer's Eve feminine hygiene wipes to you. I think next time you want to make accusations you should fact check yourself. Social media is a historical record of everyone's posts and replies. A 5th grader with down syndrome could see that I was replying to someone that made it about politics... and that I was not the one that brought politics up. (I asked my nephew with down syndrome who brought up politics, and even he said I was just responding... he said it in a very cute way). So if he was able to grasp reality that well, what does it say about you? So please, calm down. Get the sand out, you should stop bleeding from there in a few days, and perhaps you'll learn how the internet works to avoid future claims that are easily debunked by disabled children. Have a nice day!
@the hevy yes!!! ... love it when civilians publicly display their lack of intelligence and weakness. If you don't like facts or jokes about completely substantiated and evidenced historical record, then I advise you avoid all social media. Your delicate sensibilities obviously can't handle it.
This is absolutely solid and a fitting interpretation of the original mix. Tim Follin's genius is that not only was he able to sculpt so many diverse sounds under the humungous restraints of the hardware he worked with, but he's also actually a great composer and melody maker.
Great respect for the original. I will Tel my friend Tim to check this our and ask to comment here... I know he loved rock to begin with. (phone's ringing).
You know, Tim Follin has stated in interviews that he quit composing partly because he felt limited by publishers not providing him real instruments to work with. If they ever gave him enough cash, I'm sure even he'd struggle to make something as awesome as this.
Imagine sell official arrange versions on CD just like arcade all stars... Sadly Tim Follin didnt worked on namco or Konami. Otherwise he and other Legends would made CD oriented self covers to sell.
This is amazing. I was hoping to find a cover of this song by a real band, but this is the next best thing. I like how this is a tad slower than the NTSC version, but not as slow as the song is in the PAL version of the game.
Tony is great, but for some reason this version is much better quality than what he has his TH-cam channel. This arrangement is pure black magic an it blows my balls off every time i hear it.

My ears can't believe this! This piece of art keeps providing and providing with each second! AMAZING!!!!
You know how you have those 'favorite life changing bands' and you could use JUST those bands as your life's soundtrack??? Yeah, well your metal cover of Solstice is may be not one of those bands, but one of those songs. Your song went through a few weird years of mine. Thanks!
+Scott Annonson this would be ace to learn on guitar but yeah I think this one is out of our skill range lol! There's a guy here on youtube that did a guitar cover of this and he said it's the hardest song he's ever had to learn
That's not Canon, it's not even close in-terms of melodic or rhythmic motifs. This song has a constant 3/4 or 6/8 feel whilst Canon is entirely in 4/4. Also the harmonic progression is nothing like Canon's.
That's it, I'm playing this boring old game that I swore I'd never touch again 😂 just because of this bro you about to really make me enjoy this game 😂😂😂😂 also this would fit well in smash bros 😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like this just reveals that Tim was basically making prog rock songs for his games.
He's said as much. In fact, I'm sure despite not being exactly his desired arrangement and mixing, he'd be pretty happy with this.
We need more MUSCLE WIZARDS in video games.
Ancient Apparition That's just an artist's rendition of Tim Follin
@Adorenu アドレーヌ We really do live in the darkest timeline
Major Armstrong comes to mind.
No, that's Tim follin.
Travis Willingham is pretty cool. edit: and beasty af
Imagine watching a new smash direct, they plan to announce a newcomer, and then, this song starts blasting seconds before the reveal.
MUSCLE WIZARD FOR SMASH
feel like i'd be vaporized on the spot
Or maybe a trailer for a remake?
You kidding me? I'd shit YOUR pants!
TIM FOLLIN FOR SMASH
"If you're nothing without magic then you shouldn't have it."
"Well, I could still beat the ever-living shit out of you."
THIS IS FUCKEN WIZARD MUSIC

@Andrew McFadden Well, about 13 million dead people and illegal immigrants voted for Biden, so maybe in 2024 it will get a shot.
@@mobbs7235 You just had to make it about politics.

Even the boxart of the game is metal as fuck.
Can't get any more metal than a buff ass wizard who looks like He-man

Keep in mind, he worked with his brothers. He didn't operate alone.
@@Tinkatube oh for sure he worked with Geoff a good bit…but he’s also a beast solo as well.
0:00 getting the letter from hogwarts
0:09 some giant bastard kicking in your door shouting “YeR a WiZaRd!!!”
This HAS to be what Tim was thinking of when he was composing the original NES version. It's sure as hell what I imagined when listening to it.
Old 8bit music always seems to have great potential for metal remixes. This is just pure awesome!
Sounds like YES and Iron Maiden had a baby.
Yes, Maiden and Theater!
way heavier than maiden and yes. Sounds like dream theater basically
I run into this masterpiece... 11 YEARS LATER?!
Great respect for the original. I will Tel my friend Tim to check this our and ask to comment here... I know he loved rock to begin with. (phone's ringing).
Tim Follin perhaps?
Hmm I feel déjà vu...
Nvm I was just getting Predator flashbacks
My god, this is so fucking awesome
Composer Tim Follin, featured on the game's cover.
now this, ladies and gents, is a classic game that is greatly under rated and needs a remake...with this number as the opening credit song...
OUTSTANDING!!!!!! One of the best covers ever made of one of the greatest songs ever composed.
Juxtaposition of harpsichord and metal makes me feel good feelings.
My kitten listened to this and now she's a lioness.
Now go play some Ghostlion!
Is she single?
HOW IN THE SEVEN HELLS DID I MISS THIS GEM!?
You just earned a sub, my friend. This is quality stuff.

This title theme is so awesome, and that awesomeness was totally kept intact in this superb cover. Bravo!

0:25 When the mage begins to kick some asses
Wait, how has this gone without getting a comment?! This is fucking brilliant! Great work!
Woah this is a great cover! It really does retain that dynamic feel of the original soundtrack.
Can't believe how much effort must have gone into this...
Made full well knowing there'd be no real recognition, the mark of a true artist
This is amazing. I was hoping to find a cover of this song by a real band, but this is the next best thing. I like how this is a tad slower than the NTSC version, but not as slow as the song is in the PAL version of the game.
this soundtrack deserved this
thank you so much TONY DICKINSON
Tony is great, but for some reason this version is much better quality than what he has his TH-cam channel. This arrangement is pure black magic an it blows my balls off every time i hear it.
My ears can't believe this! This piece of art keeps providing and providing with each second! AMAZING!!!!
“Come and sit with me as I tell you a tale of how a simple barbarian became the greatest wizard in all the lands…”
This is such an amazing rendition of the song! Damn
Any kind of wizard that can beat the ever living crap of a monster with his bare hands only is my kind of leader of any campaign he wants to go
distilled and concentrated prog
Amazing work Tony Dickinson
2:18 a SUPERB attempt!
THE NOTE AND THE REVERB AT 1:09 IS SO GODDAMN🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Wow, very good! I just listened to the original, and this is pretty close to that. Well made, congrats !
sound like a song from YES or Rush ^^ this is exactly what i imagine to listen when i listen the original.
Rush was one of Follins' inspirations for the Solstice theme!
Rush is an amazing band
Well 0:13 is a parallel to 7:51 in yes's awaken, so yeah, definitely.
Y'know that old "You can't hear this picture" meme?
Well, I can SEE this music and it's a massive ParCan rig for the ages... >O.O
I listened to many covers of this song and by far this is the best version. Much talent.
This is fucking majestic
Wow - bloody SENSATIONAL work!
If Grant Kirkhope turned to be a metal guitarist, this is the closer you get to Tim Follin having a rock/metal band.
You know how you have those 'favorite life changing bands' and you could use JUST those bands as your life's soundtrack??? Yeah, well your metal cover of Solstice is may be not one of those bands, but one of those songs. Your song went through a few weird years of mine. Thanks!
jesus that is one fukken ripped wizard
The commercial for this game tho
Oh man, that was awesome. Pure metal on an old 8 bit favorite. Job well done.
Imagine if this game was remade into some kind of Final Fantasy type game.
Dude i would play the shit out of that
@Klaymodo Post Office
Would love to see a prog rock collab between Uematsu and the Follin brothers tho
This thing bangs so hard it blows your balls right off, but only because the new ones this song makes grow need to room.
Just as awe inspiring as the original bit version in my opinion
In all seriousness. This cover is fucking GOOD.
That is rad! Loved the prog feeling.
holy shit
This is fire and does justice by the original. Imaginative without compromising the..... I have no word for what I want to say. Brb going to school
0:09 NUT
Leaving a comment to make this more likely to show up in more people's recommended cuz holy shit
I know I'm over a decade late to this party, but excellent job 🤘
Little-known fact : the picture of a wizard on the cover is actually just a portrait of Rick Wakeman
Amazing cover! Thanks for sharing this with us
Truly amazing. Tim would be proud!! (And so would Dream Theater.)
is this how it feels to go super saiyan 3
WWOOOOW, MAN! Awesome version!
Tim Follin brought symphonic metal to the NES
Way more progressive rock than symphonic metal
Anyone have more covers by this guy. I'm having a hard time because the name brings up movies and songs by big name bands.
This sis the guy's website www.tonydickinson.net/
Thanks!!!
If Emerson Lake and Palmer delved into prog metal. I dig it.
It's more like Dream Thather feat. Rick Wakeman, like Milio said above
THIS FUCKS. SO HARD.
Fantastic. I'd put this game in when i was young just to listen to the theme music :D
¡QUE VAINA TAN BRUTAL! ESTE ES LA MEJOR CANCION DE CUALQUIER JUEGO DE NINTENDO.
Best video game title theme ever
Oh my GOD! This is amazing! Rock on bud! \m/
I cast PROTEIN POWDER
I cast MUSCLE FLEX
This is amazing!!!
I really wanna make this song for rocksmith but only saw one site listing it and they were forced to take it down it said.
+Scott Annonson Probably couldn't play it anyway oh well.
+Scott Annonson this would be ace to learn on guitar but yeah I think this one is out of our skill range lol! There's a guy here on youtube that did a guitar cover of this and he said it's the hardest song he's ever had to learn
I think I saw that video its what discouraged me lol.
If i didnt knew this game and you were to told me this song is from Liquid Tension Experiment or Dream Theater, i would believe you instantly.
This sounds like a rip from Smash Bros. Dear lord.
Now I know who is the last fighter for Ultimate
BATTLE SORCERER, WHO NEEDS ANY TEAMMATES? YOU ARE THE TEAM! GO FORTH! DESTROY!
When the barbarian goes to university and gets a masters degree
YES!!!!!
This is outstanding.
This is amazing. I would love to hear the same arrangement for the gameplay music,
Now your playing with power! *guitar solo* !!!!
This is up with my "Wipeout XL" soundtrack, but beats it up!
HOLY FUCK
Pachelbel's Canon at 2:08 is just genius!
That's not Canon, it's not even close in-terms of melodic or rhythmic motifs. This song has a constant 3/4 or 6/8 feel whilst Canon is entirely in 4/4. Also the harmonic progression is nothing like Canon's.
Awakia The bass-line's progression matches Canon exactly, if I can still hear properly :P.
They have a point, the background is exactly like Canon.. i could probably just play the actual canon with it on my piano if i looped it
+Kayak Fan +cr1901 I didn't hear it because my headphones, but It's in the same key? Also, could be the chords but not the melody.
Yeah, it's just the progression.
dude this is genius. excellent job...
Whoa.. This was heavy
omfg who made this this is amazing
Wow! I haven't even played the game yet and this cover just blew my fuckin balls off!!!!!
That's it, I'm playing this boring old game that I swore I'd never touch again 😂 just because of this bro you about to really make me enjoy this game 😂😂😂😂 also this would fit well in smash bros 😂😂😂😂😂
The original composed by the great Tim Follins (depicted on the cover)
Who else just got here in 2024 from Charles Cornell video and is in ABSOLUTE AWE
very cool ! I played this game as a kid
Damn man, I love progressive metal/rock!!!!! This is fucking amazing
what a GREAT ,Incredible!
This is so good.
Amazing cover!!! Too bad that the game is so hard! I never finished it and, even today, I fell so frustraded!
TIM IT WAS JUST A GAME
Wow! Sounds like Liquid Tension Project.
