It's been a while... Sounds different to what I have in my mind. But nonetheless I really enjoy this version. This solo at the end is melodically sublime!
Thanks man! I think this particular song has been seriously neglected as far as arranges go so I'd love to hear your version if you have a different take on it. :>
@@StoneMcKnuckleFunny how you always work on songs I want to work on ;) I feel the same way concerning this track, to me it was always the most dramatic track in the game. Zero's dead, X is alone and has got to face his destiny. And I much more prefer X1's take on the boss rush mid level, rather than all at once. Just like in the first MM game. Other than that congrats on moving to your new home! May dayjob is prohibiting me from bashing out more music. It's really depressing and I've been thinking about quitting or cutting shorter. Music's my life to be honest. So I feel you when you mention you want to put out more content. I've got two releases due until christmas. Let's say they have something to do with the X series. I think next year might be the time to take on this theme.
@@Metalltool Sounds very similar to my boat man, wish you all the best. Got two releases planned myself, hope it's not another one you were planning on doing lmao
@@Metalltool If it's any motivation, any time anybody makes either an MMX arrangement for a source that I haven't seen covered yet, or which is better than the one currently in my MMX playlist, I immediately check if they've got a store page for it somewhere and go buy it. I've been building out a sort of "ultimate MMX series playlist" since OCR's Maverick Rising album came out, using that album as a base. Every so often I'll get in the mood to go hunting for covers for source songs that I'm still missing, and sooner or later somebody surprises me with one I didn't expect (ToxicxEternity's Blaze Heatnix cover practically made me double take. Almost nobody covers it, and everyone other than him who tried, played it very badly). After all the additions and substitutions I've made to it, the playlist is about half Maverick Rising, half a whole bunch of other stuff. The idea is to eventually (theoretically) pull together a playlist that has the best arrangement I've ever heard of each MMX song worth listening to on it. You guys make a thing, there's a distinct possibility I will get it.
Once again, Amazing job!! I love it!!! The solo at 2:08 and the sick Keyboard solo with it too? I can’t tell you how much I love your work. You have once again made my ears happy, and have turned one of my least favorite songs into one of my favorites In the X series. Thanks Stone!!
Congrats on becoming a home owner bro, I too had to sacrifice my content creator dreams to get a job lmao I tell kids all the time that there are a lot of really talented people out there, but they'll stay undiscovered for a really long time because they had to work a regular job and weren't able to go 100% into their passion. I hope you and MyNewSoundtrack can make more music again, soon
I remember the first time i ever layed eyes on the sigma fortress stages. What a spectacle. What excitement. Such mystery. Much wow. But the music. My god the music. 30 years later, the music rages on. Hell yeah brother! Long live the X within
Aaaaaahhhh finally you are back! You have been missed Mr McKnuckle. The groove hit at around 02:10 and onwards with the solo ooof... This is trademark McKnuckle, you know, if I were to hear this on a radio I would have definately known "this must be McKnuckle". Without a shadow of a doubt. And speaking of Shadows....
I love your work. There's nothing else that can be said. Your interpretations of these classic pieces speak for themselves. Absolutely incredible work. My inner child wants your autograph for making his favorite music amazing.
Thanks brother! I clicked the notification as soon as I saw that this was live. My absolute favorite soundtrack from the original MMX (maybe even from the entire X series.) Brings back memories for me of playing this game in the middle of winter, when I was like 8 years old. Really appreciate the upload. In my opinion, you're the best when it comes to making this stuff. :)
oh god, this is literally the best fortress theme in all X series for me and it deserves way much more love, and this... THIS is what the world needs, man it sounds amazing!
Your renditions are always on point, mate. This one, along with the first sigma stage from the first Megaman X are my favorite tracks. You are great a musician!
Glad to see you back, my dude. Also glad to hear you've got a new place, even though moving is always a massive pain. Here's hoping it's a great place to be, moving is as quick and simple as it could be or could have been, and that you don't have to worry about moving again. Getting to the song though, pretty good. Still got that "Stone McKnuckle" sound to it, which I dig, and you definitely can't go wrong with a Megaman tune, especially from the X games. The change ups and the custom solo bits were pretty slick, if I do say so myself; I personally think they fit pretty well into the piece. Anyway, Keep at it, man, and here's to many more awesome covers/tunes!
Well done here! I actually managed to make a few playlists with one or two of your remixes from the MMX series for a project that in a way improves the gameplay while overhauling the story.
Thanks for the amazing shot of nostalgia and dopamine ❤️🙏 you’re probably my favourite artist for these mm x & mmZero covers.. and god damn hard to learn on guitar! But I’ll get there eventually 😅 thanks again homie
When I saw this on Patreon like in July (but I didn't have money for it), I was expecting a really nice work and I can't wait to hear this, now this day comes. You are one of my inspirations aside S.S.H. Keep with your really good work as always. Also I can't wait for other remix (I will don't say for don't ruin your Christmas gift for us :D)
As a long time fan, Happy to see you’re still alive and kicking my friend. Amazing song. Would love to see either a Magna Centipede, Toxic Seahorse, or a Crush Crawfish remix as one of your next remixes from the X series.
You've retained the key components of the original track but made it your own. Love these. X1-3 I grew up on so hearing these is so crazy, I wish your channel growth.
Now this was a suprise! Definitely going in my Mega Man playlist. If you do another Mega Man X track, I'd love to see Sigma Stage 1. Easily my favorite song in the game.
Had a friend that got me hooked on Mega Man music in general a while back and now hearing some your remixes got me hooked even more. Is it okay if I use a few of your Mega Man remixes on a music modpack for Smash Ultimate? I'll make sure to credit you Keep up the great work!
Gotta say man, fire as always, and that your composition skills are absolutely amazing. The parts of this track that you wrote are arguably better than the original track. Someone should seriously talk you into (and pay you enough) to write game music for a living.
Thx Mcknuckle hope to hear you soon. Anyway if I get some vidoes up and some content, I want you to play with me. Add links to your material, get the wrod out there, there is untapped listeners who love this stuff, and have fallen out.
I can only wish when you are done with your life business, that you will continue making remixes, what a way to say goodbye, this is your best work imo just the balance and the song you chose. 11/10.. you never fail to make the intro and what am I saying the whole thing.
This ain't goodbye. My computer shit its pants and I need time to set everything up before hopping back to it, but I've got some material done that'll get uploaded soon-ish. :>
Another distinguished work of art by Lord McKnuckle! Thank you for bestowing it upon us! Also, congratz on getting your new home. Any chance of a Bubble Crab/Duff McWhalen mix in the future?
This song is tight, very happy to wake up and see a new upload in the notifications. Hey, i hope that your new place makes you comfortable, must be rough moving and all that stuff. By the way, the main melody's guitar effect it's customized by you 100% or it's kind of a mix of preset configurations? Hope my english wasn't too shitty, saludos from Uruguay 🤭
This is awesome! Not a lot of people know how great this song is; and, it's sad to know that MOST people won't know STONE's amazing version of this great song. EDIT: I wrote down "Matt" instead of "Stone." I think Matt Knuckle might be another TH-camr whomst name I crossed with Stone McKnuckle. I really hate myself, right now [typing this through nervous laughter].
Honestly, your style is unique and masterful, your arrangements are so good that you turn them into something totally different. I would love for you to do a cover of MegaMan X2 "Zero theme", it would be fascinating to hear it. Greetings 👍🏼
I love that someone finally makes a cover of this song. Good work. I guess I would enjoy it much more though if it would been done with the style of Disturbed. I always had this vibe that it sounds like a Disturbed tune.

One of the most waited notifications.
Never clicked so fast lmao
Dude light in the fortress is such an underrated song. 10/10 work here.
No question about it. This is the best soundtrack from MMX (in my opinion, atleast.)
It's like losing Zero and then seeing him come back in the next game for the first time. Welcome back, Stone McKnuckle!
Once again, Amazing job!! I love it!!! The solo at 2:08 and the sick Keyboard solo with it too? I can’t tell you how much I love your work. You have once again made my ears happy, and have turned one of my least favorite songs into one of my favorites In the X series. Thanks Stone!!
Zero: *explaining how serious the stuff that's going on* X when reaching this point: _just vibing to the banger theme_

Im glad to be the 501st thumb on this vid 👍
You do realize that everytime you release a megaman X remix I have to go play it again. Great to have you back! Amazing work as always!
I remember the first time i ever layed eyes on the sigma fortress stages. What a spectacle. What excitement. Such mystery. Much wow. But the music. My god the music. 30 years later, the music rages on. Hell yeah brother! Long live the X within
How does this guy have ONLY 36.5k subs? This absolute legend makes music so good it deserves to get to the millions
THE RETURN OF THE KING
Seeing the icon in my subscription bar legit sent a shot of adrenaline through me lmao
Thanks for treating us to another December bonus! You da man
Get to the gym and find a new song from Stone McKnuckle? Gonna be a good day.
Just discovered your channel. Being a fan of Megaman since my childhood, i gotta say this is absolutely amazing. Thank you.
Agreed!
the world needs more stone mcknuckle... I need more stone mcknuckle
This arrange and "Light In The Fortress" are my favorite arranges of this particular theme.
YES YEEESSS THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT another mega man remix
the legend is back
Plz stay for good man. I really always loved your music, all the way back in high school.
Seriously one of the most underrated megaman x themes.
This song has been growing on me for a while and this is one of the best remixes of it. Awesome work!
FUCK YEAH THE MAN'S BACK
The wait was indeed worth it. Love this remix.
Congrats for your new house and keep rocking!
Aaaaaahhhh finally you are back! You have been missed Mr McKnuckle. The groove hit at around 02:10 and onwards with the solo ooof...

This is better than my thanksgiving dinner
Oh shit, Stone is back with another banger
i love it, bring back my childhood
Looking at the comments and seeing Stone and Metaltool chatting is my favorite thing to do when doing critical listening to the song.
I love your work. There's nothing else that can be said. Your interpretations of these classic pieces speak for themselves. Absolutely incredible work.
My inner child wants your autograph for making his favorite music amazing.
This song is beautiful, thanks, man
Omg I have been waiting a whole year for the next one and it is finally here. You're the best Christmas present giver

Is always heartwarming to have you back
Finally a new remix! Glad you're back!
ah so good to see you're pumping stuff when you can.
You are a god among men. Thank you so much for these remixes.
Welcome back Stone. Great stuff!
sheesh, 6 years since i first saw one of your vids. Still rocking 😈
oh god, this is literally the best fortress theme in all X series for me and it deserves way much more love, and this... THIS is what the world needs, man it sounds amazing!
nice job, the wait was worth it
Dude I was patiently WAITING for this one. Hats off on another banger !
I'm anxiously awaiting his yearly MMX release for 2022
Your renditions are always on point, mate. This one, along with the first sigma stage from the first Megaman X are my favorite tracks. You are great a musician!

Kicks ass, as usual
he's back! and sigma male as always
Well done here! I actually managed to make a few playlists with one or two of your remixes from the MMX series for a project that in a way improves the gameplay while overhauling the story.
If that project actually gets anywhere, do drop a link.
AMAZING I always thought the first stage was overrated in terms of music, the 2nd was always my fav
Fantastic remix of one of my favorites! 😍
You got me risen and sent to heaven with this bro.😎😇 thanks.
Thanks for the amazing shot of nostalgia and dopamine ❤️🙏 you’re probably my favourite artist for these mm x & mmZero covers.. and god damn hard to learn on guitar! But I’ll get there eventually 😅 thanks again homie
Great remix to the original. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for making this! my favorite song in X
Another fire song to add to my playlist 👀

You do the MMX soundtrack so well!
You did great good sir/ma'am! Rock on!!
This is honestly my first time ever hearing a remix of this song and it's great :)
Love this track man thanks for the amazing content
As a long time fan, Happy to see you’re still alive and kicking my friend. Amazing song. Would love to see either a Magna Centipede, Toxic Seahorse, or a Crush Crawfish remix as one of your next remixes from the X series.
Good work as always!!
A criminally underremixed song would love to hear you do hells gate open from zero 3, awesome work as always
Dude, love it when you post videos
Keep up the awesome work!
Loved the more mellow feel to the piece, awesome as always stone. Also congrats on the home.
You've retained the key components of the original track but made it your own. Love these. X1-3 I grew up on so hearing these is so crazy, I wish your channel growth.

Oh yeah!, A new MegaMan X cover
Stone you finished building your shed. Come on lets get some more MCKNUCKLE!
I haven't finished :I
C'mon McKnuckle!
Thx Mcknuckle hope to hear you soon. Anyway if I get some vidoes up and some content, I want you to play with me. Add links to your material, get the wrod out there, there is untapped listeners who love this stuff, and have fallen out.

I start out with a preset and screw with the settings and EQ's and other effects until I'm happy with it. So a bit of both.
Tu ingles estuvo excelente crack 👌👌
phenomenal, sounds so clean and energetic
Have u thought about uploading to iTunes would totally buy 👍
Nice work
Sigma stage 2 is one of my favorite themes.
Mammoth theme on this is a cool sound to add

4:20 remix for Stone McKnuckle's life-and-death dream house! yolo :o
100% intentional...................
Probably one of my favorites in x1
You love to hear it
🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
song 10/10 magnificent
Sigma balls Dr. Wily
This sounds like it came straight out of megaman x 8. Awesome!
Btw, which DAW do you use?
FL Studio 11. I like the old UI more than the new so I haven't bothered upgrading yet hehe
