The KI theme has been stuck in my head for like 17 years. Hearing your rendition of it blows my mind. This is badass. I'd love to hear you and Mick Gordon jam.
How can this EPIC track have FAR less views than so many of your other videos? D: It's by far one of the best! :( Saddens me that the brand KI is so unknown, so people miss out on this epic cover!
i went to pc's...consoles just started getting too expensive last console i owned was a ps2 so i'll miss it too but the classic on snes is still...umm...killer :D
Yeah, it is odd. This is probably my favorite video from Erock, and I think it deserves 1000X the views it currently has. Shame we'll never get a new KI. Especially since Rare went bankrupt and took all their IPs with them to the grave, after they did Star Fox Adventures.
Ikr KI was like one of the best games ever, i wish it had went on, although the new reboot on the xbox looks good, i mean ill never get it unless i get and xbox but im gunnin for a ps4
i got to play KI gold in an arcade once a long time ago and got my @$$ handed to me by an 8 year old in about a minute and haven't played since haha...i wish i could afford to keep up w/ consoles i just can't justify spending $400 on something just to play games when i can build a pc for that much and do a lot more than just games with it...just my 2c plus MK9 just got a pc port so i'm pretty happy with my choice ;)
Everyone requesting different songs but this song BLEW! MY! MIND! This is SICK!! This song has been a favorite since I was a little kid and for you to demolish it like this, in a great way, makes me extremely happy. I will be jamming this for a LONG time!
THIS RIGHT HERE...THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE... still gives me goosebumps:') ..THEY WERE IN THE STUDIO MURDERING THIS THEME!! Especially the beginning guitar
Tony James Gilpin Actually I think its more like Killer Instinct fortuitously meets its good friend Metal in a random coffee shop...and promptly blows everything up with awesomeness.
DUDE! Every single one of these is ****ing AMAZING!!! I am trying to listen to all of them, but you have so many and I keep wanting to go back and listen to them all again. Who else wants you to do a StarCraft cover??
ULTRA! ULTRA!! Love this version! Makes for an awesome track to listen when busting out Martial Art Circuit Training, feels for a moment like a montage from a 80s Martial Arts Action Film haha
Not only did you do one of the best covers of one of the best songs ever, you even introduced me to Painkiller and thus Judas Priest while you were at it
I'm jealous of you people who can play leads and sweep arpeggios. Been playing on and off for 12 years, can play some pretty technical death metal stuff, but can't play a solo to save my life. Anyway, great cover.
rockmad zeed No way. Mick Gordon fucking NAILED the new theme. This is great, but wouldn't fit in the game as is. Still a badass version of the theme though. I could picture this in the credits or something though.
The Jimbo Channel This seems closer to the older theme so I can see why you might like it more, but the new one is something special, one of the best video game theme amelioration's ever
I just found you through Caramelldansen (my Swedish friends were mocking me for learning their language with it xD). You just transformed my FAVOURITE N64 game theme into THIS MASTERPIECE. That beat sounds so good for a metal cover. Oh my sweet lord. I thank you so much! SUBBED. I WISH I COULD SUB MORE.
Pretty good. I would not necessarily call this metal, but a cover(since the theme is already heavy metal, lol). Overall, I understand your titles follow along with what you do, so I understand.
This is a cool cover. But this song had already meet metal... The point of these covers is to cover songs that aren't metal into metal, but this was already metal to begin with
AWESOME Painkiller transition... That was a brilliant way to bring it full circle. Get your ass a band and on tour man! This is right up there with Assassins Creed for me, bad ass!
I know that I'm late to this video. Very late in fact, but if you still look at the comments on this, would you do a cover of glacius' (from ki gold) and/or saberwulf's theme from this game?
ah the memories. For the longest time while i was in either late elementary school or early middle school I got my first CD player (big business back in the day lol) and for a few weeks all I carried with me was the Killer Cuts CD and I learned it back to front. so full of win. Still throw it in now and then just for teh feels
Nice man, iv'e been on the net looking for this song and listened a lot of metal cover and this one is the best cover of this song ever ! Good Job man.
Got this by chance when outta my window there is a lightning storm like in the game intro and it feels like a fucking orgasm of blood and fighting into my soul. Made to be heard again and again a lot. Thanks dude for such a drills in my bones like be hitted by Glacious and surviving it is. Great.
Holly shit man, I am not really into Metal but God damn i loved this shit. You freaking rocked the shit out of this, I actually like it more than the theme song itself. Mad props to you and i wish i could hear tou play it live.
after watching this for like the 50th time i managed to think of something crucial thats missing and honestly its surprising cause you are normally extremely good with things like this, but in the beginning you didnt add the guy saying "Killer Instinct" other than that man it is seriously perfect. if at all possible you should edit that in :P
I can remember the first time I heard this version, and I heard the low B kick in and thought, man, if soilwork did a Killer Instinct theme, it would sound something like this. Well done mate.
ULTRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
+Cj Plays Games KOMBOOOO

Kewl Beans
Is the PC version of MK any good?
I got Injustice, but the game runs like a dead snail, unless you have a TOP line PC.
haha i remember the CD with all the songs from the game you got when you bought the game on Super Nes. Brings back memories
😔🍻

same here !!!💪❤🔥
Ok it's official. I'm having this played at my funeral. Spectacular piece of work!
awesome
edit : 3 years later and still believe this awesome
O.M.F.G. You seriously just made my LIFE with this! PERFECT!
Killer Instinct meets Metal? I thought that it and metal were already good acquaintances!
Tony James Gilpin Actually I think its more like Killer Instinct fortuitously meets its good friend Metal in a random coffee shop...and promptly blows everything up with awesomeness.
Anraziel
Ah, yes! That makes more sense!
+Tony James Gilpin he should just label everything as "meets nu metal" and avoid confusion lol
+Tony James Gilpin That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the title of the video
UUUUULTRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA COOOOOOOOMBOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
SURRRRRPREME VICTORY!
PERFECT.
Ummmiiilliation
- killer instinct & judas priest's painkiller; the nerd and headbanger in me are happy.
I thought I was the only one who recognised painkiller riff and drum solos
DUDE! Every single one of these is ****ing AMAZING!!! I am trying to listen to all of them, but you have so many and I keep wanting to go back and listen to them all again. Who else wants you to do a StarCraft cover??
How does this not have more views? I would listen to this over and over! Was lucky enough to have gotten soundtrack w/ game.
Killer Instinct was already Metal. You make it MORE METAL!
Suddenly, Painkiller from out of fucking nowhere
One of my favorites game themes of all time. Awesome victory!
I'm listening to this as your video game playlist and couldn't help but smile when I heard the intro as I'm sitting here at work.
Cant believe this theme has lived this long. It has so many beat in so many ways
the simple fact thats he has the biggest fucking grin on his face makes this great.
I think the intro to Street Fighter Alpha 2 would sound amazing.
This 4:48 video has more Killer Instinct heart than even the most recent Killer Instinct game.
Lol no
I think it's time to stop posting.
That wink
ULTRA! ULTRA!! Love this version! Makes for an awesome track to listen when busting out Martial Art Circuit Training, feels for a moment like a montage from a 80s Martial Arts Action Film haha
Donkey Kong meets metal!!
HUMILIATION!!!
BEST 16 BIT FIGHTING GAME EVER!!
You should remake this with a crossover of the Mortal Kombat theme. Killer Instinct VS Mortal Kombat. Come on^^
Super cool
😊
This has to be my favourite from all your videos. SUPREME VICTORY!!
Nostalgia!... of late nights and early mornings playing this game :)
killer instinct + painkiller = ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAA METAL COMBO
kira waleed lol
"KILLER COMBO!!!!"
I thought i was the only one who recognised the painkiller drum solo and riff. Instant tears
Supreme victory!
from yesterday i m just listening to YOU, i feel reborn in METAL WAYS, you rocks man, great great job
Not only did you do one of the best covers of one of the best songs ever, you even introduced me to Painkiller and thus Judas Priest while you were at it
2:35 PAINKILLER! :D
I think his hands & figners is on fire here, goddamn! Just watch those fingers go \m/
I'm jealous of you people who can play leads and sweep arpeggios. Been playing on and off for 12 years, can play some pretty technical death metal stuff, but can't play a solo to save my life.
Anyway, great cover.
Btw, nice piece of painkiller you added in there.
Bones98 practice practice practice
The smile you have when you play, I work for this man ! You're a very good guitarist, still playing man !
Again and again do I come back to this video, because it is beyond epic. I still believe you had to feel like a god when you were playing this.
ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
glacius
ULTRAAAAAA!!!!
They should have hired you to do the theme for the XBox One reboot.
Im such a die hard killer instinct fan, this theme is so badass man! Thanks for sharing it I listen to this song almost all day.
damn listening to this hit me right at my core man im in tears. great damn job on this. I absolutely love it.
This is WAY better than the new KI music on XB1.
well..... no!!! the new ki theme is awesome!!!
rockmad zeed No way. Mick Gordon fucking NAILED the new theme. This is great, but wouldn't fit in the game as is. Still a badass version of the theme though. I could picture this in the credits or something though.
Jagokuken
I completely disagree. This woulda fit it much better. To each their own.
The Jimbo Channel This seems closer to the older theme so I can see why you might like it more, but the new one is something special, one of the best video game theme amelioration's ever
I think I like both themes equally
HOLY SHIT!!!!! DUDE WOW I FUCKING LOVE IT (^_^) BEST KILLER INSTINCT COVER IVE HEARD EVER
Gosh you nailed it! Love the joy you play with too, hell yea!
I just found you through Caramelldansen (my Swedish friends were mocking me for learning their language with it xD). You just transformed my FAVOURITE N64 game theme into THIS MASTERPIECE. That beat sounds so good for a metal cover. Oh my sweet lord. I thank you so much! SUBBED. I WISH I COULD SUB MORE.
**Puts hand on mouse**
**Moves it to the dislike button**
**Gets countered by sick riff**
O_O Mother of god....
*_c-c-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!_*
SUPREME VICTORY!!!
Perfect.
Pain-killer instinct!!
Konsta ntinos Lol
That Mashup with Painkiller!
THAT WAS SO AMAZING! Brought a tear to my eye...
You have no idea how much i love this song wow, your awesome dude!
Loved and still love Killer instinct , Love the Theme and man this Version Kicks Ass !!!!
Two words, fuck yes, I really appreciate this man...my childhood cane back with a vengeance, any chance you could do spinal or sabrewulf's theme?
***** Dude, your username is badass.
Besides envisioning Killer Instinct while listening to this, I see Super Saiyan Bardock whooping ass too. DBZ.
I just can't stop listening,man.You're unique!
Thanks for posting one of my all-time favorite songs on my birthday.
Metroid Meets metal... we need that one
Pretty good. I would not necessarily call this metal, but a cover(since the theme is already heavy metal, lol). Overall, I understand your titles follow along with what you do, so I understand.
I still have this game. I don't hear those bad ass metal leads in the game's music. Hmm. :-p
immasmashyourface Listen to the theme of the new game.
The point is.... This is a cover of the original Killer Instinct.
Well yeah its a cover, but he takes the song to the extreme
especially with the solo
Ed Boon dislike this 36 x
omg I can't even begin to describe how epic this is. This should of been the theme for the last one that came out.
One of the best renditions ive heard! Well done Mate
tHIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE THEME FOR THE REMAKE...
Hell Yeah it should of. It's PERFECT
Maybe in the next killer instinct game
Killer Instinct was already metal.
Metal x2
This is a cool cover. But this song had already meet metal...
The point of these covers is to cover songs that aren't metal into metal, but this was already metal to begin with
So. it's fan made you fuck.
we need more types of fan made killer instinct main themes
Obi-Wan Kannabis how nice of you to tell someone how to run their own channel
then grab the metal and make it SUPER METAL
AWESOME Painkiller transition... That was a brilliant way to bring it full circle. Get your ass a band and on tour man! This is right up there with Assassins Creed for me, bad ass!
I know that I'm late to this video. Very late in fact, but if you still look at the comments on this, would you do a cover of glacius' (from ki gold) and/or saberwulf's theme from this game?
This is probably my favorite Erock video, after several years of watching. Keep it up, big thumbs up to you man!
ah the memories. For the longest time while i was in either late elementary school or early middle school I got my first CD player (big business back in the day lol) and for a few weeks all I carried with me was the Killer Cuts CD and I learned it back to front. so full of win. Still throw it in now and then just for teh feels
Several attempts at the Dwarf Fortress theme have been done but one by you would be just spectacular.
one of my personal favorites and this man SLAYED IT! SUPREME VICTORY!!!
Nice man, iv'e been on the net looking for this song and listened a lot of metal cover and this one is the best cover of this song ever ! Good Job man.
I haven't stopped listening to this track. Best cover ever.
Got this by chance when outta my window there is a lightning storm like in the game intro and it feels like a fucking orgasm of blood and fighting into my soul. Made to be heard again and again a lot. Thanks dude for such a drills in my bones like be hitted by Glacious and surviving it is. Great.
Oh hell yes! I love the KI cover as is but that painkiller solo was awesome! Didn't expect that at all!
You have made me very happy with this. Thank you sir!!!!
Holly shit man, I am not really into Metal but God damn i loved this shit. You freaking rocked the shit out of this, I actually like it more than the theme song itself. Mad props to you and i wish i could hear tou play it live.
Ultimate, ultimate, ultimate!
after watching this for like the 50th time i managed to think of something crucial thats missing and honestly its surprising cause you are normally extremely good with things like this, but in the beginning you didnt add the guy saying "Killer Instinct" other than that man it is seriously perfect. if at all possible you should edit that in :P
Una de mis canciones favoritas de video juegos buena versión eres un master
I can remember the first time I heard this version, and I heard the low B kick in and thought, man, if soilwork did a Killer Instinct theme, it would sound something like this. Well done mate.
You look so fucking psyched to be playing this. Love it.
Excelente criterio de selección para los cover
this jam is just so amazing simple yet brilliant
You are always the best, I love your covers! Well done!
This is seriously the best song for getting motivated!
29 times repeat and still counting! I like when you do less main theme and more wild improvisations and atmospheric immersive tunes like this.
Dude much respect thank you for the memories im now subscribed to your channel
Nice work, Erock. I was seriously hoping u would eventually cover this. ANY metal fan knows this theme! Keep on rockin' it. \,,/
Coming to your home in 1995 only on Nintento ULTRA 64! Bwahaha yea that happened... Great cover man!
You got some serious talent brother, love you're work!
the second part of this song is the best. coming up with something new but still has K.I feel and meaning to it.
I still come back and jam this regularly
This deserves more credit imo amazing work.
That solo gave me fucking goosebumps. Nasty shit brother.
love this vid a hole lot this is my fave fighting game of all time by far keep up the grate work
Awesome!
Hell yeah, keep rocking on!
