Since you played OST from SFV, what if I suggested you to play music from Guilty Gear? Something like this to check out if you are unfamiliar: Be or Just Be Dead, Launch Out, Heavy Day, Lily of Steel, Rock Parade, Smell of the Game By the way, great performance as always, and respectable song choices on this vid.

[@russkishpion1417]

We need part 2

[@muhammadzahidaziz]

You need doom game riffs.

Lol, metal and videogames cannot be combined (maybe except of most RPGs and indie games). I am a gamer, and i think that electronic music, and maybe some light rock, funk, hip-hop or disco are the best for video games!

[@fabionidas4832]

Boma: *thoughtful about recording vocals for this video* Also Boma: *making it better than the original version*

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

Ciao biondo, magari fosse così. Ho rotto il silenzio vocale degli ultimi 2 anni giusto perchè sono particolarmente legato a quei 2 brani lì. Ma alla mia vera voce manca ancora un bel pezzo purtroppo

[@kristofgriffin384]

Fun fact! The song played at 4:00 is actually a cover of the song ''Hunting High and Low" by Stratovarious. The composer plagiarized the song, as he never once gave credit to the band. Because of this, they got sued and the song was removed in the HD version.

[@warhead5809]

Yeah, and "at doom' s gate is actually a riff from Metallica's no remorse I believe..." not sure, whether Duke Nukem' s theme was actually written by Megadeth, or they have just played a similar version on Risk...

[@thedancingguy828]

​@@warhead5809theres a song that Megadeth made for Duke Nukem

[@GigglebunsUV]

@@thedancingguy828 yeah, it was a cover of the main theme by them used in an expansion

[@TheDuckzTV]

I knew I recognised that synth! Thank you for this haha

[@gaming.golden]

Sucks cause budokai did it a lot better anyway

[@MrWaza00]

7:45 just... beatiful, nostalgic , good . And this -> 8:20 i have no words for explain

[@MBBGun14]

Dusk OST, Nightmare Reaper OST, Doom 2016 OST, Doom Eternal OST, Quake 2 OST

[@TheNormalUnstable]

Shoulda be part 2, no Painkiller riffs, Silent Hill post 3 part songs, Postal 2's Uncle Dave Room, Borderlands 2 Mr. Torgue DLC, Serious Sam 3, 2000s Mortal Kombat (Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon), Broforce, Warhammer 40k Shootaz Blood and Teef, Unreal Tournament

[@IceBear702]

5:53 love this, sounds like Rammstein.

[@jungleblobs5225]

Brutal Legend is so underrated, only metal-themed game ever. fucking sick. also worth mentioning Cyberpunk 2077 has a whole ingame radio station of original death/black metal written for the game

[@terenceipvaiching4559]

Hell yeah! 2:55 Megadeth!! Some of my personal recommendations: Guilty Gear X2 - No Mercy Doom - Untitled (Pantera - Mouth for War ) Mega Man X3 - Opening Stage Lords of Thunder - Wildon Thunder Force - Metal Squad / Lightning Strikes Again Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire - Stage Two F-Zero X - The Long Distance of Murder BlazBlue - Rebellion I could go on but, too many great metal / rock soundtracks in videogames. Love your video's! 🤘

[@Seriovsky]

A list that contains Hell March, Grabbag, E1M1 and Quad Machine can only get my like.

[@microwaveableselfie3421]

Your fuckin awesome for the Brütal Legend song! Sounds great man!

[@solidaigis]

Holy Crap. SMT4 HERE?! Blessed.

[@derekgornall]

One of my earliest memories on this planet is being like, 3, and playing Doom with my dad while we played early Beatles records on the boombox. Its no wonder I grew up to favor AiC, Slayer, Metallica, etc. and still have a #1 spot for the Beatles to this day. I’m 28 and still love games and rock n roll fuck yeah \m/

[@clipsmovil8322]

no way dude i cried with destruction derby 2, you unlock me a lost memory xd, that game was the top and i still having the destruction derby 1 disc xd

[@Agonrod2]

Nice ! Hope to see a part2 with some Dynasty Warriors and Prince of Persia

[@E3AM]

Prince of persia escape dahaka 😎🤘🏻

[@TheTrooperMB]

Dynasty Warriors is metal AF , 3 and 4 specially !

[@TheTrooperMB]

don't forget sega rally championship !

[@coolcat001100]

Was not expecting to hear anything from Command & Conquer on here - very nice surprise!

[@nickverner]

Quake II And Destruction Derby 2 have my all time favorite Metal soundtracks ever! Glad you also mentioned them! \m/

[@dorkwithsometork]

Gunna get quake just to listen to the sound track because of the is comment

[@andrewpappas9311]

Definitely happy to see Brütal Legend on here because that game was absolutely awesome (it also introduced me to Am I Evil? by Diamond Head and Black Sabbath’s Children of the Grave, which are two of my favourite songs) and having Doom is a no-brainer because the music in that games goes so fucking hard it’s awesome

[@CapnRiggs2k5]

The Doom theme song is currently my ring tone 🤘

[@Redundant-v2]

No way! Same here!

[@THE_Prince_Sourdough]

At one point, it was mine too! Gotta change it back

[@invink6716]

xD

[@BatteryAcidEater]

Wow incredible

[@Rex133TV]

I know you already included a fair bit of DBZ game, but the rock anthem of "Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai" that serves as the opening theme of DBZ Budokai is amazing, and well worth a listen if you haven't heard it alreaday!

[@nilsbleier675]

The Metal Slug Games and especially Part 5 have the most underrated Songs in gaming history. I never see them mentioned in Top 10 Lists :,) Great video!🤘🏻

[@fabiobusato4376]

Desctrution derby 2... I Remember the Amazing soundtrack by Jug and Tuscan...

[@alexrandom94]

This needs a 2nd part... no Sonic adventure OST or Halo 2?

[@redheadsg1]

Love Fist - Dangerous Bastard was PERFECT 👌

[@markdemars7648]

There are lots of games that are rock and metal but I'm sure this is just a few. Maybe turn this into a series to see how many games you can play guitar on.

[@ulississandoval1314]

There are 20 Rock and Metal Riffs in Videogames but i'm sure this is just a few.

[@overlordchemm3705]

Always nice to see SMT getting recognition for it's insanely good OSTs. An Old Foe from Raidou Kuzunoha VS The Soulless Army should definitely be on a sequel video if you do one!

[@cezarymazur6526]

If you ever will make part 2, you have to play „Razorback” from „Unreal Tournament” Great video 🤘🏻

[@Jay-un2zc]

Quake 2 was awesome on PC. Remember playing Lazarus' server! Sweet vid!

[@THUNDER944]

i just came to see if you included Quad Machine and At Doom's Gate, i'm leaving very pleased

[@metalngames509]

Glad Metal Slug 5 is getting some love. ❤️

[@DashRetro]

This is the most appreciation most of these riffs have ever gotten.

[@renatotamborino5777]

Amazing video as always, ken's theme is soooo good Because of u went to listen to the Sega rally Championship ost 😂

[@neogmz]

I'd love to see some Genesis games in these series! Battletoads vs. Double Dragon has very sick riffs. Nice video as always! Keep it up!

[@DragonGrafx-16]

Metal Squad from Thunder Force IV

[@VinterSaklig]

super boma! we love youuuuu

[@KonradGut]

Great list, I'd personally add some yakuza ost but besides that it's great

[@moomoojoos8849]

Yooo you should do some guilty gear riffs. All of their songs are bangers, and the games are awesome too.

[@broncoxy]

If you not already know that one, check out the soundtrack of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams! Every track exists twice, once as an arcardy-electronic and once as a punky-metal version; depending on which character you choose ingame (you can switch them while playing), the world and the soundtrack changes seemlessly, its really cool!

[@Firefrei]

Awesome 20 but the fact you somehow didn’t include “I am all of me” from the shadow the hedgehog game breaks my heart

[@dieperepe_kv1]

in gran turismo 4 and 5 there are some good rock/metal song, like parts of a version of moon over the castle of gt4

[@turboswede]

I remember a game for kids for PlayStation 3, called Little Big Planet 2. In this game I heard a rock/metal song for the first time when I was kinda 7-8 years old. It was instrumental version of song by Nightwish, I loved it when I was a kid. Then, when I was 15-16 years old, I started listen to metal music :)

[@SaneAcorn]

if you want some great video game metal then the guilty gear soundtracks are great, i personally love the stuff from XX and Xrd but honestly its all really good

[@Ezekku]

LOVE FIST ♥ It's makes me happy seeing SMT:Nocturne, amazing game. Shoji Meguro is a beast composer. SMT: Digital Devil Saga (1 & 2) has incredible music too

[@DanResanti]

And Battle B2 from SMT IV!

[@linojvni2038]

ANYTHING MEGURO TOUCHES IS S TIER

[@hugo54758]

The production value is insane. Thank you

[@AnglerAddictsTV]

How about the criminally underrated "Inferno" by Mick Gordon featuring LittleVMills that was a part of Killer Instinct?

[@RossoCorsa85]

Video Games and Heavy Metal, two of my favorite things!

[@cIappo896]

Surprised there's no Serious Sam, given how fucking hard their soundtrack goes, especially in the 3rd game. Sick video though, glad to see you killin it again mate.

[@Tiisiphone]

50+ y.o. woman here. I want you to know that in addition of being enjoyable, your videos are very useful to me, especially the "50 (insert band name) riffs" ones. I've been listening to punk, neo punk, grunge, goth rock since forever, but for some reason I don't know much about metal, except for some iconic songs. I never bothered to dig any deeper. Thanks to my adult son, I now realize I like A LOT of metal stuff. Listening to your vids help me identify the bands and genres I like. Thank you! And I'll see Rammstein in my city in 10 days. Yay!

[@fjp1247]

NO WAY YOU DID QUAD MACHINE, THAT MADE MY NIGHT GOOD SIR

[@vds4327]

Sarebbe incredibile sentirti provare a fare il riff finale di Bury the Light sempre da Devil May Cry 5, grandissimo 👏👏

[@rusbell2981]

Love that you had cool boarders and Duke nukem 3d in there!

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

DUDE, thank you for including a Killer Instinct theme in this, I'm a massive KI fan and love every note of its OST. Also "Voltaic Black Knight" from DMC5 is an underrated banger!!!

[@mauro_theguitarist]

Feels potentissimi alimentati dal metallo, grazie Boma.

[@ibrahimhatoum8062]

Brother you got nostalgia pumping through my veins 🔥🤘

[@davidgeorge5863]

Sonic had a really cool harmonic minor rock theme song

[@SpeedBird6780]

You mean, "I am all of me?" Because that's the only one I remember of main themes. Or one of the Titan themes.

[@leomeades5030]

Was hoping the Burnout theme would be there but an excellent video nevertheless

[@lamkin9188]

Mate, that's a nice selection of tunes there. I'd forgotten some of these gems!

[@denniskirschner4532]

Prince of persia warrior within. One of the best soundtracks. 🤘

[@lucifer9032]

Conflict at the entrance and dahaka chase theme are so fucking good. I remember jamming to those songs when I was 10 playing those games.

[@MateusUPassos]

That was really cool! I was half expecting to see 'The Power of the Horde' from WC3 on the list xD

[@JesterTheRaven]

05:53 Beautiful soundtrack, but I love even more the one from the first V-rally. Here on KZbin it is, too bad for the low quality.

[@rob0nemusic369]

Please, do a second one 🙏. I would love to hear some riffs from M.U.S.H.A. Aleste or Thunderforce IV, because these OST made me listen to metal

[@bashura_0019]

She should do some F-Zero GX music. Those have great heavy metal osts

[@sgtyed3943]

Throw in the PainKiller OST! and SpiderMan Maximum carnage! Maybe even Tekken 3 (Specifically Yoshi Mitsu's theme)

[@s1non756]

And also Doom 2016 or Eternal

[@AndyKusanagi86]

​@@bashura_0019she who?

[@baselard0]

​@@s1non756not to disappoint you, but have you seen the amount of work Doom 2016 and Eternal has in it's OST? It will be awesome that Andrea could sound similar.

[@Luraite]

Challengers from Budokai was a nostalgia hit hahaha Amazing as always

[@lsx_slinger290]

Absolute god of metal content Boma gooo 🚀🚀🚀🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@HZRDousLucifer]

When I saw Budokai I knew it would be this jam. Love it

[@thethrashyone]

Honorable mention to Blaze Heatnix's stage theme from Mega Man X6. That's some of the most power metal shit I've ever heard in a Capcom game.

[@GardenYourHeart98]

brutal legend

[@0sc4rxd69]

Nice video! I would have loved to see some Guilty Gear riffs but it's still a great video!

[@menonalevi6984]

Jak X also has good rock/metal soundtracks, you should try it next!

[@friesfries12]

If you ever do a part 2, PLEASE check out the Guilty Gear franchise for a plethora of good rock and metal tracks. My personal favourites are 'Keep the Flag Flying' (X2+R), 'Heavy Day' (Xrd), 'Six Black Heaven's Guns' (Xrd), and 'Requiem' (Strive). Since you included a DMC5 track in this video, I'd also think a track from the earlier games would be interesting. 'Divine Hate' from DMC3 is my personal #1.

[@jeeology8574]

YESSSSSSSSSS personally shouting out give me a break too

[@lucifer9032]

Lily has a really good solo and name of heaven is great, too I would love to see him play awe of she though or the hourglass sin's theme in strive.

[@lucifer9032]

Oh and ride the fire

[@LilPolemistisXL]

5:52 classic OOMPH! doing OOMPH! things

[@bleachstain6922]

7:45 was waiting this masterpiece :)

[@ermacmacro9081]

prince of persia warrior within the thing that made me know about metal

[@deimos3359]

I waited so long for this video to drop, ever since the 20 Rock and Metal riffs from Anime video. And it's amazing. Honestly, didn't expect to surprise me this hard. Great job, mr. Boccarusso.

[@kfury1527]

I absolutely love Challengers from Budokai. I know it plagiarized Hunting High and Low by Stratovarius, but that doesn't stop me from loving both of them.

[@michaelpopowich5095]

That's not the only Stratovarius song that was plagiarized Infinity from the same album is in the game too

[@thattommino8982]

Adesso voglio vedere Andrea fare una cover del tema di 4 ristoranti

[@Dholmes1022]

Another game that had a heavy soundtrack that I still listen to was the PS1 game Jet Moto 2.

[@francotapia9865]

I want a second part for this video, i love it. ❤

[@Peron1-MC]

megadeths version of the duke nukem theme is great :)

[@macen_gt]

The Yakuza series also has some of the best vgm metal I've heard.

[@Beranin]

Was really surprised not to hear the baby bowser battle from Yoshi's Island

[@locutos8397]

And here i was hoping that Soldat would appear on the list, oh well, still, great songs!

[@Highrollinhunter]

The first 3 need for speed games have some awesome Rock and Metal instrumentals.

[@bluestorm9218]

[@ryo3412]

[@nintara3746]

[@fakepaleva]

Awesome! Need so more Comix Zone and Serious Sam OST too)

[@cemshetfield]

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

after 2 years of absence of vocals in my video I was still skeptical. Made a decent job, but my true vocals are still undiscovered

[@DiegoDeschain]

An eventual part two better have Blaze Heatnix's theme from Megaman X6. And Budokai 3's oppening! :D Great stuff!!!

[@DOSStorm]

The Mega Man X series is full of killer metal riffs!

[@ericskenshiro8276]

super travaille a quand les riffs metals generique mangas (dbz et saint seiya ,ken le survivant ..etc...)merci😃

[@twaddle29]

Definitely did not expect Destruction Derby 2 on here, the soundtrack to that game was 🔥 mostly by a band called Jug if I remember correctly?

[@alieisaware]

the vrally 2 part give me chills. this soundtrack is amazing!

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

More great Rock/Metal songs from video games, in case you want to make a part 2: Crimson Sunset (Tekken 5) Snorkeling Cactus Weasels (Need For Speed III) Mirage (Gran Turismo 3) Moon Over The Castle (Gran Turismo 7)
