I'm going through the top 20 Favorite Video Game Songs of all time as voted on by my community. This came in at number 11!
The Donkey Kong Country 2 medley I did back in 2011 is one of the most successful videos on this channel and to this day I recieve lots of amazing comments from it. One of my most proud arrangement choices was teasing the song as the intro as if that was all I was going to do of it but then going all out on it at the end.
Originally I was going to go very to the book with this one, not add too much and really try to just capture the original feel. But then I realized I could slam down a big down tuned A at a really cool moment and the whole arrangement changed into going way too metal towards the end, but I kinda dug it so I kept it.
I usually don't use more than one guitar for leads, but I really wanted to emulate the original song's two leads going back and forth and really tried to utilize the warmth of the Majesty with the Plini Neural DSP plugin and the single coil sound of the Jason Richardson with the Abasi to have two distinct sounds. They ended up getting mixed a bit closer that originally intended but I think it serves the cover this way.
Using two different lead guitars and really low tuned guitars made this cover extremely tricky to mix. I had a really hard time using anything of my normal templates so everything here is pretty much from scratch besides a few elements. I even used two seperate drumsets to try and make a bigger transition for the middle. Let me know if you guys dig it!
Thanks so much for watching! Subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you next week to begin the TOP 10!!!

I appreciate you letting it build before going over-the-top metal with it. Too often I find metal covers just come out swinging for the fences right out of the gate and it can be jarring and garish. Your restraint elevates this cover. Absolute fire.
SPOILERS OMG! hahaha i can't wait for 2 more minutes!
Yeah, it also helps that the original version of the song had a similar buildup
foreplay is important
I agree. Out of all the renditions I've heard of this soundtrack this one by far is one of the best
I had those concerns too, a lot of metal cover artists really miss the point of what makes the tracks good in the first place. This man really understood the assignment and did the original justice.
You've reached the next internet checkpoint
Achievement Unlocked: Childhood Retroactively Enhanced
Heh...Retro...
Checkpoint: 10/24/2024
For years I thought the only person who could make a good metal cover of Stickerbush was GaMetal.
Today I learned otherwise.
Same.
The "checkpoint" people are here.
Just hearing the first few seconds, I was filled up with unexplainable nostalgia. And in just those few seconds, it's one of my favorite covers you've done. Incredible
This song hits me the hardest. Memories of my late dad who used do play DKC2 with me when I was a kid.
I'm actually cryin' like crazy right now. Thank you so much for this video, Jules, from the bottom of my heart.
I'm sorry for your loss. Having a parent that loves to spend time with their kid gaming is one of the best gifts a parent can give hands down.
Makes me think of when my brother and I played together when we were little. Such better times.
God bless
The power of music helps keep those memories alive, and so long as they live on so do those who have passed on.
That's powerful my friend.
Surely, music can take us back.
I do remember how I felt, what I smelled.
Internet checkpoint start?
Feeling good today. Lazy morning. got some work done. talked with parents. good day.
Checkpoint : Just signed the 2nd year lease on my home and finished paying off my car.
Jules out here retroactively making our childhood cooler 😎
Checkpoint. Your original video of covering this song inspired me to make my own cover, and I love that you made a new one showcasing your progression. Well written and masterfully played my friend.
No matter how many times i hear this song, it just never gets old. Fantastic remix!
This theme turns your Super Nintendo to Super Zentendo.
Checkpoint 10/24. All things end, and they are always sad. One day, all things will be made new, and that will be the happiest moment. In the meantime, I will miss you dearly.
This song is the only thing that can put me to sleep for the past three weeks. I can't be more thankful for you doing a cover to this song!😊🤩😊
You might wanna go get that checked out
I do not want to start a drama in the comments, but I'll just say that more than a couple rockets have been flying over my house these past three weeks (If you know, you know)@@daltonbruce2053
Stickerbrush symphony or forest interlude for me, if im ever trying to sleep in a car or something and i need headphones to drown out a sound 😴
I have no nostalgia for this piece, but this is an incredible performance and arrangement. No surprise, coming from you.
Holy shit. He did it. He really did it.
"OW!"
~ Diddy/Dixie Kong
Absolute memories..And one of my absolute favorites! The DKC 2 soundtrack was never a miss with it's vibes. This is a masterpiece.
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY, WEEK, MY FUCKING YEAR
Checkpoint [25/10/2023]
-- GAME SAVED --
Wait, wrong video
You never seem to lose the essence of the original tracks while embellishing. Thank you for sharing your incredible work, Brava!
Bruh seeing this video drop was like hearing bramble blast in smash bros brawl for the first time
The Elite DK Nation will use this as our national anthem going forward
Respect the OG & still slayed that metal cover 🤘😎 2:24 it was getting seriously more metal & I'm here for it
I had intended to come here to chastise the added R in stickerbush but honestly the cover is just a fucking banger as usual Jules
Ayyy it was fixed. OVERALL W
Love when I get to travel back through childhood memories DKC2 was my favorite SNES game thank you for this
The build up and not over the top solo to keep it true to the atmospheric nature of this song made this cover so good! All the little things to make it unique were just perfect and kept it classy like its original! GG Jules !
never in a thousands years did I imagine hearing a metal cover of stickerbrush symphony of all things
It's Stickerbush without the extra R. It's what the bramble plant is in Bramble Scramble

Jules Conroy, a scholar of culture:
There isn't a single "Donkey Kong Country" cover that you've played that's ever disappointed me! Keep up the good work, Jules!
Possibly my favorite song from my favorite video game of all time, and it's being covered by one of my favorite TH-cam video game music guys.
Is it mah birthday? This is awesome!
Checkpoint. This is still one of the greatest tracks in gaming and you have absolutely nailed it.
Donkey Kong country 2 is the best 2d game ever made. Great Music!
Ah, the best song from the best SNES game ever created. The slow build was entrancing and the payoff was epic. Gave me goosebumps! Incredible job!
chills. literal chills.
I'm so fucking glad youtube suggested me your channel today.
I am just glad you spelled the song's name correctly 😎
I was also quite surprised
remember, people: it's stickerbush symphony from diddy's kong quest, NOT stickerbrush symphony from diddy kong's quest
いまだにこんな素晴らしいカヴァーが投稿されるんだから
ホントとげとげタルめいろは名曲だなあ
I've been following you for years and I always found the way you compose video game music very beautiful. I'm from Mexico and believe me, there are many people here who love what you do.
Yaaaaas it's back sticker bush symphony
wow i love this vibe. I feel like this would be the version used for a DKC2 anime fight scene or Opening!
I have to click the like button off and then back on again every time. This song must be liked every time that you listen. You rock, Jules!! 💥
The beginnijg was brilliantly done!!!! Really great job with this!
It has been years since you covered this originally. Great to see just how far you've come. This is outstanding. I still, to this day, say DKC2 had the greatest videogame soundtrack. The sheer amount of emotion David Wise was able to get out of the 16-bit systems he was working with are still unmatched. Once again, well done Jules.
Jules into his Black Album stage. Legendary
One of the best soindtracks for some of the most infuriating levels in that game
My arms are completely full of goosebumps and the weather isn't cold, my friend. As a person who religiously listens to your DK2 medley on repeat, this is such a TREAT!
The atmosphere, maaaaaan!
10,000 years I've waited
Rare tracks among the best for us kids in the 90's, & beyond.
oh that was damn good, dude, you got all the subtle notes of stickerbrush but you married it to such a kick ass metal adaptation its like choclate and ice cream, its so damn good!
3:03 you cannot just sneak in the Phil Collins drums in here and think I won't notice it
YEEEEEES I was hoping for palm muting to kick in during 2:09! Love that crunchy Guitar, it fits PERFECT.
You have reached the checkpoint.
when top notch musician covers a legendary song, so good!
The man tattoed a jig in the arm, perfect!!!
I mean this with all my heart...
ABOUT DAMN TIME!
made ya look 🤓🎉
Your dkc2 medley was beyond amazing and it brought me so so so much happiness back in the day 😅❤ this new full cover is so good, I can see the effort and time and care you still put into your covers
I remember hearing this at magfest and it being one of my favorites from the set.
Criminal this video doesn't have a million views
So metal, suddenly im surrounded by thorns and bees LETS GOOOOOOO
This gorgeous and calm music hides one of most brutal and infuriating stages. But we managed to pass through, too bad that we only got memories from that time.
This might be the greatest video game song there is, most people never got far enough into dkc2 to enjoy this masterpiece
I never knew I wanted "Stickerbrush Symphony" played by Jules Conroy until I have heard "Stickerbrush Symphony" played by Jules Conroy.
You. Are. Awesome.
Keep on rocking!
It's Stickerbush without the extra R. It's what the bramble plant is in Bramble Scramble
i feel like you’ve done a cover of this song before but loving the sleeve tat jules🤌🏽❤️
No joke, this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.
Bro how are you only just now in 2023 finally getting around to this one?? Either way, glad you finally did! That was fantastic!! 😄
Ive Discover this track in subspace emissary and all of it’s version are good, this include this banger remix🤘
not only does this hit the same marks that the original theme hits, it goes above and beyond and absolutely annihilates the marks.
Once again, Jules fucking crushes it!
Dang, the top 10 will be crazy if the bottom 10 were this amazing!!!
That was a wild ride back to my childhood. Thank you sir. Bravo!
One of my absolute favorite video game songs of all time, to my favorite game of all time.
Well fucking done my dude.
Bro u made me cry man how dare you! 😂 That was beautiful man
I love how the squeal echoes at 1:39 and again at 3:46. 5-string bass and 7-string guitar, sweep picking...the rest of my day is gonna be great. Thank you, Family Jules.
Standing ovation! Just came off the video of the big doom collab with Jonny & Co. This is a wild ride today, and it's blessed!
Those tapping arpeggios at the beginning are GODLY!
Love this. The solos at the end reminded me a lot of dragonforce for some reason (said the guy who’s only ever listened to dragonforce)
oh man... couldnt have come at a better time!
Oof, probably my favorite song of the entire SNES library, which is a huge statement, given the countless amazing soundtracks it had. Jules, you're a KING for covering this. 🎵💜🎵
DK country 2 brings me back so many memories... I remember playing it with my mom, doing a stock each. Even my grandmother played from time to time. Dont cry because its over, smile bc it happened :) thanks for uploading one of my fav songs from video games.
After that epic performance, I bet you could raise the bar of gang plank galleon. Awesome stuff!
If this song doesn't convince people that video game music is the best kind of music then I don't know what will...
Amazing arrangement! You truly lived up to the great legacy of the song!
fucking sick ass tattoo man, the jiggie and the OOT medallions, very nice!!!!
Nice 👍 we're halfway through this top 20 best video game songs list.
2:43 was so unexpected but so VERY welcome. You did an incredible job with this one Jules. Excellent.
C H E C K P O I N T !
Excellent cover!
I would like to express my appreciation for stickerBUSH. This is the first time, as far as I am aware, that I have encountered the correct spelling of the name on the Internet.
Stickerbush is by far the best soundtrack of all games from that era, what a masterpiece
Legendary. Thank you for this, sir.
OMG OMG YOU COVERED THIS
Holy crap its happening!
The most talented and handsome otter does it yet again~
How did I miss this fantastic DKC2 cover by a week from my favorite TH-cam musician I've been subbed to?
Cant wait to see you touch on all your old medly vids ;) Perfect Dark and Bomberman 64 are still on my play list to this day
To my opinion, this is one of the best covers you have ever made, it's simple beatiful
I've been a Metalhead for 15 years. I've been practicing electric guitar for 6 years. My favorite band is Archspire. I love the SSBB version of this song. So nostalgic and your cover enhances everything. Metal enhances everything imo 🤘
There is songs that i like, songs that make me chill the skin, and there is an ultra rare songs that makes me cry. This is one of them. Thank you FamilyJules!
Wow. Just amazing 👏👍
Heck yeah. Wasn't expecting that one. Never played much of DK myself, but I was definitely more than exposed to the amazing soundtrack it has to offer. And this is an astounding rendition of it.
Welcome to the metal version of the internet checkpoint.
