1:55 I can picture it now, Red uncovering Team Rocket's hideout under Celadon's game corner for the first time, seeing all the innocent Pokémon trapped in their cages .... angered, then reaching for his Pokeball.... READY TO KICK SOME TEAM ROCKET ASS!
The only better than listening to you shred up a Pokemon song, is how amazing your drum tracking is on this one! Brought the cover to a whole other level!! Rockin' stuff as usual dude! :D
I've been a fan of metal covers of video game songs for longer than I can remember at this point, and I have to say, yours are without question the best of the bunch by a mile. That's not a dig at anyone else, there's a lot of really great musicians out there doing this kind of thing, but man, your covers just have so much feeling put in to them. Like, you transform them in a way that still FEELS like the original, it still keeps the original's spirit, but it's... I don't know how to put it. Maybe that you adapt the songs to metal instrumentation in a way that just feels more natural than anything else I've heard? I don't know, hope you get what I'm saying though. You're a damn good musician, I'm glad you're so prolific. Gives me lots of backlog to appreciate :p
Thanks so much! I'm really happy I'm doing these amazing themes justice. This one in particular was the theme to my childhood so it's super important to me :)
This might be an old comment but I completely agree with the sentiment. Your covers are easily the best of most of the game songs I've heard because they keep the proper spirit and feeling. Keep it up!
@@ToxicxEternity Keeping that original tone. Great move! Without knowing who made the originals, I feel like they were a metalhead and had something like this in mind.
At first I was all.. I'm not sure how he's going to pull off a metal cover of this, then the first crunchy bridge kicked in and all the geese flew off my body.
Being a Pokemon music aficionado for the past like 20 years and musician I feel like a fucking idiot that I only just now realized the team Rocket hideout theme is just a remix of the original melody from Viridian Forest
Wow man, this cover gave a whole new thematic element to the originals. You can totally picture imagery of the trainer struggling through the poisonous bugs and being confronted by nefarious villains with this tune XD
Huge shoutouts to my Twitch viewers who watched me arrange this! For those who didn't know, I do video game metal on Twitch as well! www.twitch.tv/toxicxeternity Thanks for watching! \m/
Hey man, you should check out studio ghibli music. it maybe far fetched with metal, but I think it would be great if you could transform it to metal. give it a hear, and see if you like it. Some songs I recommend are: 1. Howls moving castle theme 2. Kiki's delivery service 3. Princess Mononoke 4. My neighbour totoro Thanks for being awesome!
DUDE WHY IS THIS PURE BRILLIANCE? Honestly one of my favourite Pokemon covers, period. The amount you pushed out of a 45 second loop is phenomenal, especially the riff after the blast beats holy balls that was a groove, i'm sadge that it took me 4 years to find this, ooga booga me listen more.
Well, when I left the stream the other day I said I'd do it, and I did it. I just listened to this song ten times in a row, without a break. It was definitely worth it, and I enjoyed every one of the 40 or so minutes I just spent listening to the same song on loop. Really great job with it, Jack.
man the layers just get so fat and unholy at the 1:28 mark, love your interpretation of these, takes a lot of skill and vision to turn what is supposed to be a pervasive background tune into something as substantial as what you have here... I really hope you keep producing content (now off to buy this from amazon)
So clean....so fucking clean. I'm supporting you on Patreon as soon as I find work again man. Of the few video game metal makers on TH-cam I think your clearly the best.
I am always so fucking blown away when I watch you compose these in your streams and then when I hear the final product. Keep it up man. You're gonna make it big.
Epic cover once again Jack! I was watching you work on this cover in the stream, and it turned out even better than I expected! :) Keep up the good work man, you're awesome
My first reaction to this was : "Holy shit this ytb channel name is CRINGE" and then I listened to the music. Dude your cover has real quality in it, I'm checking rn your more recent stuffs, cant wait to see how much even improved this gem
I still listen to this almost every day. This is so incredible. Perfect rendition of a classic nostalgic pokemon song
And I discovered it today! Already added to my VGM playlist in Spotify S2
DAAAAAAMN BRO 2:44 SLAPS SO HARD
I love how it just suddenly becomes a death metal song at 2:30. That riff is awesome!
Never imagined a casual stroll through a caterpillar filled forest could be so goddamn tense
You played blue this is red THE WEEDLES MAN
That chuggy forest part in the beginning is just amazing

I can’t get enough of this. What an incredible rendition of this classic song
That transition is TO DIE FOR BRO
At first I was all.. I'm not sure how he's going to pull off a metal cover of this, then the first crunchy bridge kicked in and all the geese flew off my body.
King Hrath it made me think it was made for a metal bridge the whole time lol
You've done a lot of great arrangements but I gotta say that this one hit me hard! :D Freaking amazing work, dude!! Amazing arrangement!
The part following 3:30 was freaking amazing!
Arbok used Wrap. It can't get any tighter! \m/
Lol!XD Nice!
Omabroodje i just had a Subway Wrap ad lmao
Arbok used Rap. The rhymes couldn't get any tighter!
@@syxxvralrock5759 I actually wrote an Ekans rap with each word having at least one "s" lol
My arbok has wrap
You know im a sucker for that staccato and those two songs go perfect together :)
+SwigglesRP like us

+ToxicxEternity I love how you made Viridian Forest all eerie, I love the arrangement for both!^_^
I just also followed you on Twitch c:

This is WAAAAY to amazing man !!!
Too bad it's only a "like" button and not a "I Frickin love this! DON'T STOP!!!" button
The shred button 🤘

This is how the theme sounded to me when I originally got Blue version n was lookin fo a Pikachu fo hourz in the dang forest....good timez \m/
When I was leaving the Viridian forest in Fire red my entire team was wooped by a pikachu
I’ve been a pokemon fan during my childhood and your guitar remix are absolutely legendary, keep up the good work
Can really feel the passion for these themes, you're a true Pokemon fan that's for sure! Amazing work bro!
Soooo wicked, my brain is melting..! We need a Pokemon Toxic X album.
+xk2102 but what's the other version?
This is unbelievably good. Thanks for bringing this into the world
I always heard Team Rockets theme as metal in my head as a kid. YOU JUST MADE IT INTO REALITY FOR ME
It just amazes me so much how clean your playing is maaaan, love dem riffs, that was aawesome!
+AHmusic same to you my good man :D
man, those blast beats for the rocket hideout part are pure bliss.

This makes viridian forest and Team rocket hideout seem that more intimidating! So frickin' superb!
This could use some hardcore vocals, BUT it's still an incredible stand alone cover! One of my favorites of yours!!
PLEASE DO MORE POKEMON STUFF!!!!
Your metal covers are the best👌🏻🤘🏻
Such a beautiful tone and composition
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Your playing is so crisp and beautiful. Fantastic work!
This is my favorite video game song of all time. You nailed it!
So clean....so fucking clean.
I'm supporting you on Patreon as soon as I find work again man. Of the few video game metal makers on TH-cam I think your clearly the best.
YESSS! I love when Pokemon gets Technical Metal, THANKS! Suscribed forever!
Not only is this track AMAZING (and literally all of your other tracks), you're also a fan of one of my favorite deathcore bands \m/
I am always so fucking blown away when I watch you compose these in your streams and then when I hear the final product. Keep it up man. You're gonna make it big.
+Possum The same
+Possum Thanks so much Possum! There's no stopping now \m/
Just started headbanging at 1:58

My favorite Pokémon theme amplified to 1000%...SO HAPPY.
Dude...I don't know how i missed this for so long. Amazing job friend!
This was really cool, such a varied arrangement! I love the kind of Tristram-like vibe you got with the layering at the beginning!
That rocket hq bit hits so hard
I love hearing metal covers or remixes of pokemon music. I like to hear them while I play let’s go pikachu. I’m glad people make these. 🤙🏻

Holy cow, I never realized before that these two songs share that basic melody.
