Okay, I am going to be totally honest. I have found that VERY few people can pull off this song. And by few I mean maybe 1-2 people. And they still weren't that great. But you, you pulled it off. You earned a hard like and sub.
I've listened to hundreds of magus covers, I can't really think of one where I can point to it and be like "that's the one". It's also one of those songs that you'd think lends itself to metal real easy but I just don't think does, maybe because I think it needs something along the lines of a full London Philharmonic backing. Other songs can get away with less, but not Magus' theme, don't ask me why. But I WILL say, as far as covering it in metal, this cover is top 3 easy, well done
So few people can do this song justice. Gotta agree with the earlier commenters, out of all the versions of Battle With Magus I've heard, I think yours might be the only one where I can definitively say "this captures the spirit of the original". Thanks for the nostalgia.
My name is Glenn! Long have I carried Cyrus' hopes and dreams, and now I bear the Masamune as well! Henceforth, I claim them as my own! I shall slay the Fiendlord Magus and restore our honor!

Look I've been around TH-cam a pretty long time and I don't usually comment on anything, but I've heard a lot of covers of a lot of songs and I am honestly baffled at how the hell this has only 7.3k views as of this comment. This is honestly one of the best covers of this theme I have ever heard, full stop. How is this not drowning in views?
Chrono Trigger is a pretty darn good RPG, originally released on the Super Nintendo, rereleased countless times including PS1, Nintendo DS, mobile, and more recently Steam! 11 different endings were available in the original release, but yeah, definitely recommend checking it out! Personal favorite releases were the original and the PS1 before they re-translated the script xD
@@blakeirvin3011 Holy crap, 11 endings? Like are most of them bad endings or are they all actual legit endings. This topples most visual novels ending wise, with the max actual endings I've seen before being 7-8.
@@Rescuro One is a definite bad ending and it's not really a spoiler to tell you that it it's when you lose against the final boss. The endings all revolve around what circumstances are at place in the game when you defeat Lavos for the other endings. There are one or two that could be considered bad..? But technically they aren't, they're just.. interesting. One is technically acknowledged in Chrono Cross though I wouldn't have assumed it would have been the canon ending lol. :)
@Lavos Frog is the first example I bring up, because people who hadn't heard about the game can understand why I prefer the original translation when the new ones take away from the character of a KNIGHT from the Dark Ages!
Fantastic work as always, Gill! I was impressed with how you broke away from the source with that solo section, and I think it worked really well. I'm so excited you've started doing CT covers!!
Phnomenal solo, really pieced this together to make it a truly epic play that is yours and you nailed it. Probably my favorite cover of this piece. Thank you
Don't know how I scrolled past this without clicking it, this is one of my favorite battle themes ever and you absolutely killed it! Can definitely tell a lot of effort went into it, but it was so worth it.
He did it... HE ACTUALLY DID IT! YES!

To this day no jrpg surpasses this game in music.
Never heard it... but this surely gonna be in my "battle theme" list. Thank you a lot for good music
Thanks for giving it a listen! Glad you enjoyed it \m/

Thanks, dude! I'm excited to be working on CT again too!
1:01 is so damn groovy, it's probably my favourite part of the arrangement! Great arrangement and mix as always!
ahh, thanks, dude! We gotta collab on another CT track one of these days \m/
@@gillstudio Absolutely! I'm always up for some CT tunes!
YESSSS!!! Well done good sir!! An amazing cover of my favorite character's theme from my favorite game of all time!!
Glad you like it, my dude!

Yooo, thank you so much! Glad you dig it! This battle theme really is amazing >
OMG. Sounds like a legit rock song!!❤️❤️❤️
aww hell yeah! I'm always down for Magus Theme! :D
Best cover of this song!!!
Holy shit, this was TRULY EPIC! Amazing arrangement and that solo... so sick! Short and right to the point! Loved it dude! \m/
Thank you so much, dude! Glad you dig it! \m/
Fantastic, you did this epic theme justice.
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!! AWESOME ❤
Perfect cover for a genre defying work of art. 👌
sooooo cooool😍
sooooo eviiiiiiiil😍
This is really good!
oh yeah that epic battle against blue Piccolo, I mean Magus, epic cover as always.
Lmaoo, not wrong. Appreciate it, dude!
Piccolo needs to get some more sun.. and since when do Namekians grow hair or wield scythes??? Must have been his gothic phase..
They need to remake this game in the Octopath engine I swear. Btw amazing cover.
Bro howd you do the horns? So on point
Thank you! The horns, and all of the orchestral elements, were made with the East West Hollywood Orchestra packs.

Great remix. Please buy a tripod for your camera.
Do you have to poop? What's up with the face
It's because this song was the shit!!! Hahahahaha... ahhhh.. *clears his throat and walks off*
Oh. Alternate witty comment.
You didn't shit your pants after hearing this? Huh... Well this is awkward.
