(as always, the full tab to this cover is available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon and the MP3s and uncompressed WAV is available to my Gold Level supporters. Thank you for your support!)
The word "kuwanger" comes from the word "kuwagata (クワガタ)" which is Japanese for "stag beetle." japanese developers made a pun with combining "kuwagata and boomeranger" to make "kuwanger" and this confused the translation team as they had no clue what a kuwanger is. Boomer Kuwanger is also the reploid brother of Gravity Beatle from the X3 game.
Patiently hoping for an Armored Armordillo standalone cover as well, because your medley is probably the best set of Mega Man X metal covers out there!
I've been saying for years, that the first Mega Man X has one of the best soundtracks ever. The entire series as a whole is amazing, but the first game is god tier. Awesome cover as always!
Seriously, pick literally any song from the soundtrack and it's guaranteed to be bad ass. Only games I've ever played which I liked the soundtrack just as much was Yakuza 0 and Doom 2016
I hate so much how people only care about the popular songs from this OST, Boomerang Kuwanger's theme has always been my favorite, but it doesn't get enough recognition
Decently appreciated because it's in X1 if we take into account all the other megaman X games. There's a lot of underappreciated songs in X3 which i guess not that many people played in comparison to X1 or X2 because it was harder or something.
In the 90s, this was my favorite track as a kid. It was so FUCKING metal but it was on the SNES. Even then I thought to myself, My God, Megaman X is made for metal. God give us more.
@@Spore9996 honest to god man Only in the first X game can I confidently say that I got no favorite song in that. Other X games got bangers but none them of them hit as hard as the first one for me.
OMG! I was just listening to different versions of this last night and literally wished you would do a cover of it! Post listen edit: This like all your other MMX covers was amazing. Please do the rest of this game as well, if not all of MMX 1-3. So many great jams just waiting to be unleashed.
This is actually really awesome for me to watch you do Mega Man X again! Ever since I saw your original Mega Man X Guitar Medley it made me appreciate Video Game Music so much more and I started seeing it as actual music instead of just being in a video game! It even inspired me to make my own channel years later and make Video Game Covers as well! Playing along to all your covers has definitely made me a better guitar player as well. I just want to thank you for that and inspiring me so much! Keep on rocking dude :)
Hey Jules! Boomer Kuwanger was actually composed by Yuko Takehara, not Yuki Iwai (she did Chill Penguin). Evidence of this is in the Rockman X Sound Box: From the Liner Notes: Setsuo Yamamoto: - in charge of the music, but since he was lacking time, he asked for help: > Satomura (Iwai's Maiden Name): Snow Mountain [Chill Penguin] > Kadota (Takehara's Maiden Name): Tower [Boomer Kuwanger] > Makoto Tomozawa: Airport [Storm Eagle], Power Plant [Spark Mandrill] > Toshihiko Horiyama: Password > All the rest: Presumably Setsuo Yamamoto
Once again Jules you absolutely SHRED on this cover. I love your enthusiasm and love when you are incredibly expressive while playing. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Peace.
Never really been into metal but always loved Mega Man X music. It wasn't until after I binged all your videos that I realized Mega Man X music IS metal. Thanks for opening me up. You absolutely kill it in all your covers.
Best video game ever, and this soundtrack is a goldmine for metal covers. Such a shame that the most frustrating level to play has the best music, and it's not even close. Great cover my dude. Could listen to it all day. Love the passion you have whilst playing
Listened to this cover repeatedly. Got goosebumps repeatedly as well... Goddammit man, you've outdone yourself! Congratulations on the awesome vid, bro.
Man, this is my favourite song of all Megaman X series. And you just posted it on my birthday! This day cant get any better. (srry if my english its not the best)
Sick cover (omg that purple Majesty guitar tho) I love how clean your guitar is mixed, the arrangement gets to breath, and you can still tell the performance and editing was great!
YESSSS!!!!! I've been waiting for the Boomer track to get its own video! It's been LONG overdue!! The MegaMan X videos will always hold a special place in my heart because the original MegaMan X medley was how I discovered your channel in the first place almost ten years ago!
My favorite stage and theme in the entire megaman series, beating this stage as a kid was a monumental effort and it always stuck with me, awesome cover dude
Man, I was on my way to work and I spotted this so obviously I clicked it and I was far from disappointed! This cover was everything I had hoped it would be and more while on my way to work! Thank you so much for this cover!
0:01 sounds way too cool, is that even legal??? Legendary! This is my favorite cover you've done in many moons. Feels like it's been a long time coming. Your ooooold Mega Man X medley is still a favorite of mine, it has some kind of energy or emotion that many of your newer covers lack. But this... this is impeccable.
I absolutely love it when you visit older VGMs and recreate it with your metal style. It was always the reason I came back every week to see what you did next. Love this keep on rockin! 🤘🤟
I used to listen to your MMX cover daily when it first came out. Really glad to see you revisit one of the songs in it to give it the full version treatment. Awesome job as always Jules!
Amazing cover of this iconic theme! As a fan of progressive metal, this brought me back to my Maverick hunting childhood days and the origins for my musical taste. I feel like starting a Megaman X playthrough soon now! Thank you for that, 🙌🏼 keep up the awesome content!
Megaman X is nostalgia central for me, I love everytime you come out with one of these and hope to hear all of them. No doubt that a lot of hard work is put into creating this but you personify every ounce of this games music for me. Much respect.
Your MMX Medley was the reason I discovered your channel, I literally heard Storm Eagle and though "that would souns cool as a metal song" and searched for it. Got to your cover, subscribed ever since. The new covers you've published on MMX are AMAZING!!
This was the song from your medley that made me subscribe to your channel, many years ago. To say I'm thrilled to see it get a standalone cover is an understatement.
Fantastic job as always! Boomer Kuwanger and Chill Penguin are my favorite covers of yours so far. You should consider doing Splash Woman's stage from MM9 next! (Right up your alley, too)
I hoped since the medley that you would someday do justice and make a full cover for this one, you totally nailed and this is one of the best cover for it I’be heard, awesome job!
My favorite song from Megaman X followed by Spark Mandrill and Storm Eagle. All the music from the first X is amazing. Your covers are the best out there! I'd love to hear you cover some songs from Megaman Soccer. Lot of hidden gems in that game.
I had this game on SNES when I was a kid with no memory card (didn't know that one actually existed at the time). So, I had to start from level 1 over and over. I remember this was one of the early bosses! Didn't realize this song was so sick!
Ok Boomer.

... Kuwanger.
Bro this is awesome, another good one to cover would be Gravity Beatle from MMX3!
Called out for playing mega man x when it was new -_-
“Stop with all that dang Kuw-acket!”
The word "kuwanger" comes from the word "kuwagata (クワガタ)" which is Japanese for "stag beetle." japanese developers made a pun with combining "kuwagata and boomeranger" to make "kuwanger" and this confused the translation team as they had no clue what a kuwanger is. Boomer Kuwanger is also the reploid brother of Gravity Beatle from the X3 game.
Beetle, Beatle is the band.
Boomer BeetleRang was ahead of their Time
That's funny, because in the remaster of megaman x for psp, the narrator says: boomerang kuwanger, and not boomer kuwanger like the original game.
@@notgura9949 that always struck me as odd over the years
@@andrewdouglas2868 same!
Patiently hoping for an Armored Armordillo standalone cover as well, because your medley is probably the best set of Mega Man X metal covers out there!
That shit booms... you get into false sense of security with the game over /password theme then all of a sudden everything comes crashing through
This man is speaking only facts
Agreed
totally agree with that. I love especially how well the first 2 minutes of that medley blend together
Armored Armordillo? Bruh i want the entire game OST performed by this dude.
I've been saying for years, that the first Mega Man X has one of the best soundtracks ever. The entire series as a whole is amazing, but the first game is god tier. Awesome cover as always!
Hard to think of another game with so many distinct bangers, just one after another
Hence my name and icon
Seriously, pick literally any song from the soundtrack and it's guaranteed to be bad ass. Only games I've ever played which I liked the soundtrack just as much was Yakuza 0 and Doom 2016
@@stormeagle2865 clearly you have excellent taste.
Mega Man 2 and X have the best sound tracks!
"Wait, there's more music in this game than Storm Eagle's stage?"
Seriously, though. Awesome cover of an underappreciated song.
I hate so much how people only care about the popular songs from this OST, Boomerang Kuwanger's theme has always been my favorite, but it doesn't get enough recognition
@@nwcr_ it’s easily the best song in the game, I don’t know what is wrong with people
Decently appreciated because it's in X1 if we take into account all the other megaman X games.
There's a lot of underappreciated songs in X3 which i guess not that many people played in comparison to X1 or X2 because it was harder or something.
Spark mandrill? Armored Armadillo? Zero’s theme?
@@Myne33 These are just the popular ones, everyone knows these
In the 90s, this was my favorite track as a kid. It was so FUCKING metal but it was on the SNES. Even then I thought to myself, My God, Megaman X is made for metal. God give us more.
God I love all the stage themes in X
Thanks for the banger cover bro
Hell yeah! The X series still has some of the best music I've ever heard in a videogame!
@@Spore9996 honest to god man
Only in the first X game can I confidently say that I got no favorite song in that. Other X games got bangers but none them of them hit as hard as the first one for me.
Capcom really were at the very top of their soundtrack game in the SNES era.
OMG! I was just listening to different versions of this last night and literally wished you would do a cover of it!
Post listen edit: This like all your other MMX covers was amazing. Please do the rest of this game as well, if not all of MMX 1-3. So many great jams just waiting to be unleashed.
Jules' Megaman X medley from like 10 years ago is still my most revisited song of his.
@@CiaphasKirby I will never stop jamming to his Flame Mammoth Cover, but his Chill Penguin and Launch Octopus are also S-tier headbangers.
I would buy the Family Jewels MMX album in a heartbeat.
@@PowerPandaMods no question. I'd buy it without hesitation.

Bless any Mega Man X covers. I still remember the old medley you did from waaaaaay back
Hey Jules! Boomer Kuwanger was actually composed by Yuko Takehara, not Yuki Iwai (she did Chill Penguin). Evidence of this is in the Rockman X Sound Box:
From the Liner Notes:
Setsuo Yamamoto:
- in charge of the music, but since he was lacking time, he asked for help:
> Satomura (Iwai's Maiden Name): Snow Mountain [Chill Penguin]
> Kadota (Takehara's Maiden Name): Tower [Boomer Kuwanger]
> Makoto Tomozawa: Airport [Storm Eagle], Power Plant [Spark Mandrill]
> Toshihiko Horiyama: Password
> All the rest: Presumably Setsuo Yamamoto
Best Maverick theme from Mega Man X, hands down. Amazing job on this cover!
The Jules X covers are always destined to be goated.
Simply, the best cover version, awesome. You feel the passion of someone who likes Mega Man X.
Absolutely deserved its own cover; perhaps my favourite section in your MMX Medley alongside Sting Chameleon.
\m/
Its on my playlist like everyday. Going to work, running, biking, its good all the time. And boomeranger is the best part
Once again Jules you absolutely SHRED on this cover. I love your enthusiasm and love when you are incredibly expressive while playing. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Peace.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I even informed my girlfriend that it was my favorite track from the game.
awesom !
i really give a shit about this attempt at farming likes
@@metalicarus8372 wow dude seriously? What would that even accomplish? Who in the hell farms likes on TH-cam?
@@metalicarus8372 more like Poopden Doo Doo
@@brandonmcdonald4706 .....
And then she broke up with you 😂 jkjk
This was my favorite part of the medley. Glad you did this man. This and the x hunter stage theme from x2 were the best songs from the games.
this is literally my fav from x 1, god bless 🙏
also love the choice to go into the b-section at 1:30, it hits reaaaal nice
The finest cover of this song I have EVER heard. Great job!
Man, this is my favourite song of all Megaman X series. And you just posted it on my birthday! This day cant get any better. (srry if my english its not the best)
That rhythm tone sounds so juicy!
YES DUDE! I've been waiting for a remaster of your Mega Man X medley, mostly because of this song. I'm so glad that you gave it a try again!
Bro, this cover gave me a nostalgic chill, from the times of super NES, amazing dude.
Out of all the covers youve done, this one is the most "prog"y if that makes sense.
Absolutely terrific work.
Sick cover (omg that purple Majesty guitar tho)
I love how clean your guitar is mixed, the arrangement gets to breath, and you can still tell the performance and editing was great!
Well, that perfectly lined up with the Boomer Kuwanger event in X-Dive global. Awesome cover!
This is my favorite Mega Man X song, thanks for giving it the remix is deserves!
Whenever Jules comes out with a new video it's on my music playlist before I even watch it because I'm so confident and this was no exception.
YESSSS!!!!! I've been waiting for the Boomer track to get its own video! It's been LONG overdue!! The MegaMan X videos will always hold a special place in my heart because the original MegaMan X medley was how I discovered your channel in the first place almost ten years ago!
best song in the game for me personally, super happy to hear it, your cover is sick!
My favorite stage and theme in the entire megaman series, beating this stage as a kid was a monumental effort and it always stuck with me, awesome cover dude
Yeah, this is how Boomer should be played. Excellent cover, sir!
Your old mmx covers are still some of the best videos on the internet. So awesome to see you bring it back around! This is fuckin twisted good!
Man, I was on my way to work and I spotted this so obviously I clicked it and I was far from disappointed! This cover was everything I had hoped it would be and more while on my way to work! Thank you so much for this cover!
Ah yes, this takes me back to your medley many years ago. And you've improved on it than the last one. Awesome work as always!
I’ve been wanting this standalone cover ever since you put out your mega man x medley back in the day. Finally my wish has been granted 🤘🏻
So nostalgic, brings back memories of good times on the snes, your covers are sick!
Dude I remember you posting videos years ago and this quality is fucking insane. Keep up the good work it’s fucking wicked
0:01 sounds way too cool, is that even legal???
Legendary!
This is my favorite cover you've done in many moons.
Feels like it's been a long time coming. Your ooooold Mega Man X medley is still a favorite of mine, it has some kind of energy or emotion that many of your newer covers lack. But this... this is impeccable.
That bass tone though. Always stoked when you put the bass out front like this!
I absolutely love it when you visit older VGMs and recreate it with your metal style. It was always the reason I came back every week to see what you did next. Love this keep on rockin! 🤘🤟
I used to listen to your MMX cover daily when it first came out.
Really glad to see you revisit one of the songs in it to give it the full version treatment.
Awesome job as always Jules!
This is the most cool music pf Megaman X, and this cover is amazing! Thanks!
The transition to this section in the medley you did was soooo good
omg this is one of my favourite MMX songs! glad to finally see a standalone cover of it by you
God, this song already has such an amazing anime feel, but this cover makes it even more anime and even better. I love every beat; amazing job, Jules.
Awesome! You original Megaman X overs were fantastic. Great to see a 'remaster' of sorts
Amazing cover of this iconic theme! As a fan of progressive metal, this brought me back to my Maverick hunting childhood days and the origins for my musical taste. I feel like starting a Megaman X playthrough soon now! Thank you for that, 🙌🏼 keep up the awesome content!

This man got so good over the years, he hardly opens his eyes when he plays 🔥 thank you for the classics over the years, including this one sir 🤙🏽💯
Your MMX Medley was the reason I discovered your channel, I literally heard Storm Eagle and though "that would souns cool as a metal song" and searched for it. Got to your cover, subscribed ever since. The new covers you've published on MMX are AMAZING!!
You never disappoint. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and talent.
this was one of my favourite and most hated fights at the same time when i was little. Cool cover!
This was the song from your medley that made me subscribe to your channel, many years ago. To say I'm thrilled to see it get a standalone cover is an understatement.
Oh I've been waiting for this one. Bravo!
MMX, X2, and X3 (SNES) have some of my favorite music in all of music history. Great cover, Jules! ^_^
WOW! Nostalgia is kicking in! Please do more! They had so much nice tracks in Megaman X
A well deserved metal cover. That track just slaps, and you did an amazing job here!
I would definitely go see a whole live show of yours, love what you do man
THE best song in your original Megaman X rendition couple years ago, finally complete!
Magnificent cover as always, Mega Man X has one of my favorite BGM, and you're rocking it great 🤘
Wow, this is pretty well timed. An event in megaman x dive global just started where you fight him.
Loved it! I wasn’t able to comment due to the sucky internet here at school but I listened to it during class and oh man did you do a great job!
This was amazing would love for you to do more from the mega man x series like this love the medley you did years back still listen to it
Awesome. I've always loved this tune and found it to be underappreciated. Glad to see someone finally show it the respect it deserves.
Fantastic job as always! Boomer Kuwanger and Chill Penguin are my favorite covers of yours so far. You should consider doing Splash Woman's stage from MM9 next! (Right up your alley, too)
The first half is faithful, but the back half with the riffs and key shifts was goosebumps!
I hoped since the medley that you would someday do justice and make a full cover for this one, you totally nailed and this is one of the best cover for it I’be heard, awesome job!
I always love when the music drops for a few beats then comes back rocking hard.
Jules is a boomer. But he rocks, so we'll let it slide.
Boomers… deserve no mercy sir.
He's a boomer, but he's also a "Rock Man", you could say? :3
My favorite song from Megaman X followed by Spark Mandrill and Storm Eagle. All the music from the first X is amazing. Your covers are the best out there! I'd love to hear you cover some songs from Megaman Soccer. Lot of hidden gems in that game.
This cover is so damn good! Always a good day when Jules covers MMX songs. 😍
Wooowww! I love when this guy post yours cover Megaman Series! It's so good! ^^
The arrangement is as best as any fan of this music could ask for. YOU DA MAN!
This might be my new favorite MMX cover.
Hands down my favorite MMX Maverick! Well done!
I had this game on SNES when I was a kid with no memory card (didn't know that one actually existed at the time). So, I had to start from level 1 over and over. I remember this was one of the early bosses! Didn't realize this song was so sick!
One of the best themes from this game! Great cover Jules!
IT'S AMAZING IS GOD COVER MAN!!! was waiting for it!!! THANX!!! :3
Wow amazing cover, you never dissapoint with megaman x covers
Thanks for blessing us with this!
FamilyJules and LongestSoloEver have god tier mega man x covers
Less than 10 seconds in and I’m already smashing the like 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Boomer kuwanger's theme is a banger! Awesome cover!
I love the Mega Man X soundtrack, this is such a good cover.
I still listen to your MMX Medley to this day.
Excellent performance! I really dig your bass tone
One of the best Megaman X songs! Fantastic cover
Awww hell yeah! I'll never get tired of remixes of this one.
Another banger Jules, well done!
Wooow!!! Great talent!! Cool video effects!! Amazing techniques!!!!
You've got 1011011010111/100 megaman 1 points!!!
Great cover of an underrepped track. Gonna wait patiently on Sigma Stage 1 now.
Just played this game for the first time a few days ago. I did this stage and the music really stood out to me. Nice cover!
So many Rockman songs lend themselves well to this style. Killer interpretation.
Your one of the greats Jules you made me cry tears of joy and amazement
One of the best tracks from one of my favorite OSTs, and my favorite game of all time! Hell yeah.
