After Burner (After Burner II) - GaMetal Remix

[@grozwald]

"Now, this is just an air combat simulator. The theme doesn't need to melt anyone's face off or anything..."

[@NeoBeelzemon]

Reference to Kings?

[@TCT2023]

This song alone inspired me to actually buy After Burner II the other day. It DID NOT disappoint.

[@BenSchubert1995]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! This is my favorite song in the entire game besides City 202 and Super Stripe.

[@morningstar4746]

I first played this game in '91 when I was 5 years old, and I still play it periodically to this day. It got me into flight sims and is one of the rare gems of the genesis console

[@TheIrishNational]

@@morningstar4746 what on Earth do you mean by rare gems? The Genesis was awesome! Not all games were arcade perfect, but they were cutting edge

[@mk6315]

I miss the full motion arcade cabinets :(

[@lovemadeinjapan]

For which console? Only the PC Engine version has the melody...

[@TheConntrollerMania]

"Time to go vroom!" *sticks middle finger in the ignition*

[@Rallyfan9000]

I'd love to see more classic SEGA 80s arcade music. Specifically, how would you feel about doing a cover of something from Super Hang-On?

[@danielcurtis8895]

My GOD this is amazing!!! 🤩 I just love how this song seems like it’s telling a story.

[@Burro..]

As one of the people who suggested this, I immediately clicked the video when I saw the thumbnail. This one actually sounds like something you could hear in a SEGA game. Great one, Jonny.

[@rain4est133]

POV: You're coming back from suffering, struggling to recover stronger and finish your wishlists that has been delayed so long due to covid. To be honest, GaMetal did the Afterburner Theme justice with this arrangement. Good job

[@jarodathehunter9124]

This song sounds so good, as usual. I challenge you, Gametal! Try the Zinogre theme from Monster Hunter 3rd Portable!

[@Sean-Ax]

I second this statement.

[@TheChaoticBlur]

Whoa now! We wouldn't want to have our minds blown out would we? (I know i would!)

[@luisd.gonzalez1215]

I've always wanted him to do ANY theme from mh at least.

[@Superscope64]

Zinorge theme in general is full of win.

[@harrimat100]

Yeah, I'm down for Zynogre. That or the Shigaru Migala (I think I got that right).

[@SonicSlicer]

I need to ask this question, how many people here,when on the arcade...just pushed the throttle all the way up after leaving the refueling plane?

[@mralexnui73]

You have no idea how bad I want a star dream remix

[@authorbat5562]

It's not a matter of "if". Only "when". That being said, I concur!

[@Kiroshima1]

Would it be all 4 themes as a medley or just phase 3? Either would be great though xD.

[@villie1896]

I pray every night for a cover of Dark Mind or Hyper Zone 2.

[@mralexnui73]

I'm waiting for any Kirby theme honestly...

[@cartermccullough5393]

Mralexnui that's pretty much my life

[@dakotaward8792]

A Ragna the Bloodedge and Sol Badguy medley would be tops.

[@sirspookybones1118]

I would agree

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Keep your yourself Alive with Rebellion with Give me a Break and maybe Black Onslaught and Ride the Fire would be cool.

[@Sean-Ax]

_BORN TO KILL ALL YOUR KIND_ That song sure was something. lol

[@dakotaward8792]

maybe add the new ragna/jin vs izanami theme as well along with underheaven destruction and Noontide

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

+Dakota Ward and Recoming and Reunion and Keep the Flag Flying and Sheep Will Sleep if your going to add those.

All the quarters wasted are coming back to me. Very nice cover man. And nice run through Mats, you put my piloting skills to shame.

[@Sneakyturtleegg]

Afterburner is one of my favorite arcade games. The best version of this iconic track! Keep rockin' and thanks for posting!

[@Oddball-en2bd]

Nope. (If im right it's just a kill switch temporarily muting the guitar until switched back on)

[@northberisford4883]

Tight cover, man. Thought it might finally be Ace Combat 4's "Comona" after seeing the last teaser, but this is damn good. Still look forward to the day you finally cover it, though.

[@MrAxelStone]

fuggin' awesome, bro! One of my fav video game songs and you've done an awesome cover of it. Thanks.

[@KTGromwell]

OMFG. This might be one of my favorite GaMetal remixes.. It's. So. Good!!

[@kelendalkazama9926]

Sometimes I like to come back to oldies like this one and just remember how BFA arcade music used to be. There's just some unwritten rule that if your game features jet combat, your soundtrack just absolutely has to shred like a wolverine.

[@DecodinatorEX]

Because of the teaser before hand, I was hoping it would be some sort of Ace Combat music. I'm not saying I don't like this music, quite frankly it's very good! But if you ever think about doing some Ace Combat music, then below is a list of some of my favorite Ace Combat music tracks: Ace Combat Zero OST: Zero, Contact, Demon of the round table, Excalibur, Glacial Skies, Avalon, Mayhem, Hresvelgr, Valley of Kings. Ace Combat 3 OST: Revelation, Kernel, Zero Sum. Ace Combat 4 OST: Stonehenge, Megalith Agnus Dei, Blue Skies. Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War OST: Rendezvous, Scinfaxi, Hrimfaxi, Winter Storm, The Unsung War. Ace Combat Assault Horizon OST: Dogfight, Keep Alive, Shall Defend, Decisive Battle, Mrs. Krista Yoslav, Release. Ace Combat 6 OST: Invasion of Gracemeria, Heavy Command Cruiser, Dead Sea, The Liberation of Gracemeria, Malebolge, Chandelier. Ace Combat Infinity: Comona (remix),Invincible Fleet (remix), Stonehenge (remix), Blue Skies (remix), Blue Skies (INFINITY remix).

[@mattdarrock666]

[@archanfel650]

Saw "Kumite", now want a Bloodsport Kumite or Finale remix.

[@tobyarnold-jenkins9270]

" it's pretty obvious that this theme inspired the SNES Corneria theme." Yeah I thought so...I never played After Burner, but I could see how SEGA was warring with Nintendo back in the day, just from comparing Star Fox and this. I enjoyed this song in particular though. Nice job as always. I've got my garlic ready for the next song. WAH!

[@MOVGAMES.]

I'm not really sure Coneria was an attempted take that to this song, or After Burner in general. After Burner II is from 1987 while Star Fox is 1993. That's quite a few years between them.

[@tobyarnold-jenkins9270]

Yeah you're right. Even though I can't help but notice the many similarities. I guess it's kinda difficult to make an "original" game and not have something like it come before.

[@MOVGAMES.]

+Toby Arnold-Jenkins It could have been a homage, but yeah there's been so many songs composed up to this point that its hard to make one that doesn't sound like something else. One example is that a few notes in Xenoblades' "One who Gets In Our Way" sounds like Sonic 3's boss theme.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS REMIX!!! Ever since I heard this song in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, I fell in love with this song and next to Idaten from Shinobi 3, it has became my favourite Sega song that isn't Sonic. I'm so glad there's a cover that mixes both the Bayonetta and Transformed versions. Definitely one of my new favourites!

[@bobstayoffthegrass8772]

I go to a different tab, I go back to this one, and bam, right when I do, Jonny's giving me that stylish thumbs up. Right back at ya, man.

Saw the vid, listened to original track, went to get After Burner Climax after seeing some gameplay, found out it was delisted a couple of years ago, cried inside.

[@TacticsDeluxe]

Excellent as always dude! Also, since you've already covered Pokey Means Business and Natural Killer Cyborg/Unfounded Revenge, I would LOVE to hear a rendition of Master Porky's Theme. Your style seems perfect for it!

Also just curious Jonny, but about the guitar notes at 0:17-0:20 and at 0:27-0:32, are those your idea? Because I REALLY love those notes tbh. Also cant forget about the faster tempo lol

[@kingchickenwing4887]

Ok, I know this sounds SO stupid, but I think that you will get this. Ok, you know how that boss theme from that McDonald's game was really good? Well, there is a song from a Pokemon Typing Game, and the Boss Battle Music (It is literally just called that, you can look it up like that) is SO EPIC AND AMAZING, and I think it would be AMAZING and surprising to all your fans if you did it. Please consider it, thanks!

[@Kyzoren]

Ignoring the actual reply, my head canon says that he got the scar while recording this on top of a jet doing stunts in midair... when they were done, an Epic Falcon perched on his hand for a bit for an epic dramatic pose. when the Falcon flew away, it accidentally scratched Jonny. the Falcon apologized and presented a bandaid, but Jonny turned down the bandaid, proclaiming he's too METAL for bandaids... but sadly, he later found out that he forgot to remove the camera's lens protector, hence the game footage... And the original take's music was also deemed "TOO EPIC" by the FDA to listen to and hence we get this version instead...

[@SHADOWLUGIA10193]

Hey long time fan or yours I was wondering if you would ever consider covering the song "bloodlines" from castlevania Rondo of blood.Its one of my most favorite songs out there!.Keep those amazing videos coming!!

Earnest Evans - Stage 1

[@NERDmNERDf]

I'm in my mid 20s, played after burner for the first time in my life on a real arcade machine in a huge retro arcade, machine was turned up loud, and I can't lie, that was a literal blast. Makes me with they could make like an even more modern one that slaps the whole thing inside a centrifuge and makes you feel the real G-forces. And of course, gotta keep the music.

[@dariobucca4240]

Please , try to do Ballad of Goddes from The Legend of Zelda : skywars sword

[@MOVGAMES.]

Nice to see some old school SEGA Arcade representation. Excellent cover as always, too! I don't usually request myself, but I feel like putting a few out there that I would personally love to see: Something from Spyro 1-3: Spyro never gets a huge amount of remixes for some reason. Most of the trilogy's songs probably wouldn't work in Metal, but some definitely would. Buzz's Dungeon, Twilight Harbor or maybe Super Bonus Round are my personal choices. Rage Racer from Rage Racer: Like Spyro, I can see that most Ridge Racer songs probably wouldn't work or would be incredibly hard to do in Metal, but this song seems to be a good fit as it already has guitars in it (and as a bonus is my personal favorite from Rage Racer). It isn't hugely varied throughout the song though, so it's probably best for a one minute portion of a Racing game Medley or something.

[@IcaroDavi]

AWESOME! Perfect version, i love this so much much much ♥

[@MultiBoxingKid]

Hey I know this is a long shot, but do you think you could do "Chasing Shirley" from Tales of Legendia?

[@granearl2438]

Unfortunately for me, the arcade I used to visit always had music so loud you couldn't hear any machine except for Metal Slug, so it was only when I got, as you well say, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed when I first heard this theme. I also recognized it later on on my Bayonetta 1 & 2 collectors edition during the bike stage. Sick remix as always.
