Battle With Magus (Chrono Trigger) - GaMetal

GaMetal May Madness kicks off with the return of Battle With Magus!
Incase you missed my Twitter/FB/JonnyAtma.com announcement, I am bringing back 7 classic GaMetal songs within the next 2 weeks, completely re-recorded. I figured this is a way better option to re-uploading my old remixes out of no where, which sound like crap compared to the current stuff.
Battle With Magus was the 11th official GaMetal song all the way back at the beginning of 2010. It was originally going to be my comeback song in 2013 instead of Don't Be Afraid, but I went with DBA at the last minute. It's also the first song I ever made in Pro Tools.
I almost didn't do this song for this 7 song event, I originally planned for it, then scrapped it, then brought it back. I've been getting a lot of Chrono Trigger requests lately so I thought it'd be a great opener.
Enjoy!

You thought you were going to fight the final boss. BUT IT WAS ME, MAGUS!

[@rapidfire9999]

KONO MAGUS DA

[@elGringex]

KONO POWA

[@eseerianknight0386]

I truly though magus was the ending

[@FrankJavCee]

You took my favorite Chrono Trigger Battle theme up a level. Intense.

[@sharpeylogic2907]

"How many Namekians does it take to screw a lightbulb?" "Just one"

SharpEyLogic with the dbz abridged reference

[@Nyzer_]

Rewatching that episode's what had me looking around at remixes of this song, too!

[@acidace9239]

I don't get the joke, is it something to do with Magus? I see this on most Magus theme vids.

[@ThatGuy-a48]

@@acidace9239 the song was used in a old episode of dbza

[@idontthinktheysawthatcomin6792]

@@acidace9239 it’s because Magus is essentially piccolo, especially in early concept art

[@JonnyAtma]

What's your favorite Chrono Trigger song? This is mine. :)

[@Neterim69]

Jonny Atma Lavos/Chrono Trigger/Frog theme; the soundtrack is amazing it's too hard to choose -_- 0:47 - 1:00 blew my mind The short remixes you do at the end of all of your videos... do you have longer versions of them ? and if so, are they available? :D

[@dapperskeleton69]

Neterim yeah he has all of them for download on his website in their own section

[@brandonhankins1755]

Jonny Atma this one, or his castle theme

[@LPGrodus]

Jonny Atma Frogs Theme, granted I like Magus' theme a lot as well as Tyrano Castle.

[@Axioanarchist]

Jonny Atma Tough choice between this song, Corridors of Time, Tyran Castle, Schala's Theme, and World Revolution.

[@tuelhudo]

The Black Wind begins to blow

[@BradStarnes]

It still saddens me he's not done Frog's Theme. I bet it'd be great in his style.

[@TheCreepypro]

one of the best boss battle themes ever made now even better! THE BLACK WIND HOWLS!

[@battle_on]

That riff starting at around 2:04 was siiiick

[@DracorusDracius]

Bro it sounds like something that would be straight out of a Metallica song or Avenged Sevenfold

[@infamoswordz]

between this and dancing mad subbed

[@Anonymous-sx4zh]

If ONLY you somehow included the background whistle in this theme. That was the true cherry. Regardless though, holy effin wow!! A lot of your remixed, instrumental themes make me excited, hard, cry and grit my teeth all at once...! Thank you! Thank you for ALL of the homage instrumental remixes you've done. EVERY single one of them. It's what some of us have been wondering and somewhat craving since all of us (you included) have wanted ever since being exposed to masterpiece works of creativity. You expand on this. You are omniscient of that fact. Bless you're works.👍🏾🤙🏾👌🏾😍❤❤👊🏾 Wait. You DID include the whistle in piano but the volume of it was FAR TOO LOW. Watching this again makes me think "Joe Satriani" of gaming remix music. The Black Mages would be proud...! 😊

[@greggreg8210]

If they ever remake Chrono Trigger this better be how the magus theme sounds nice job my friend

[@barrybend7189]

sorry robo's theme is my favorite because he rick rolls you.

[@tedscheett9420]

Eh, priorities.

[@gigaganon]

So epic, glad you redid this one!

[@HKDoughQuill]

SEVEN songs? This truly is Gametal May Madness! Crossing my fingers for a Bowletta/Final Cackletta Battle Medley somewhere down the line.

[@MMLCommentaries]

HK DoughQuill Holy shit that is the greatest idea I have heard in a while.

[@parapendejadas4913]

I love this soooo much!! Chrono trigger is my fav game of all time! Thanks dude

[@TheGameGrinder]

Just bouncing through your backlog, dunno how I missed this before. Love it! Favorite CT song.. this, Undersea Palace or Black Omen probably.

[@JoseChavez-bh5bb]

THE BLACK WIND HOWLS!

[@Skyblade12]

The Black Wind begins to howl...

[@Chrissy8423]

Schala's theme or the Zeal theme might make a neat sort of atmospheric breakdown piece, like a movement within a larger song. Like in Glass Prison with its variations.

[@RikouHogashi]

Badass! good to see a re-remix of this epic song

[@MrZeroKage]

YES! One of my tops songs of all time. keep up to good work.

[@Jasza676]

Is that what I think it is? Yep, that is what I think it is! :D That build-up that starts from 1:37 reminds me of: -"Sir Meta Knight, Atma is approaching the solo!"

[@CharaDreemurr15243]

I just heard this glorious metal remix, and I was fangirling so goddamn hard that my mom overheard my joyous screeching from the back yard.

[@mikeswem]

Immediately favorited. One of my favorite game songs from my childhood.

[@tedscheett9420]

Chrono Trigger deserves more love. The like count proves that. BTW, my favorite track is Corridors of Time, or Zeal Kingdom. But this one is a close second.

[@jacobgabriel7751]

For some reason I am only just watching this. I know keyboard isnt the most glamorous instrument to some musicians, but I'd wager anyone who looked down on it couldn't even come close to what you can do on one. Nice job as always.

[@MayorunderscoreWest]

One thing I will say first is that this is an excellent cover... but it misses one of the key parts in the intro section and i see it happening all the time. It's missing the howling of the Black Winds, the little whooshing sound near the very beginning. I know it's a very trifling detail that shouldn't matter but I feel it's kind of necessary to feel authentic to Magus' character. either then that minuscule detail this is absolutely phenomenal and wicked sick, keep up the good work.

[@Rob23765]

MayorunderscoreWest The black wind is in the entire intro. It's subtle, but not hard to hear. Edit: and I now notice how old your comment is...

[@FartquadGI]

Yeah but at least I can tell he is strong

[@apocalypseap]

I would love to see you re-arrange this song again.

[@CheapPopMan]

Amazing remake, but the Wind Scene at the end hit me in the feels. :') So many great songs on this soundtrack.

[@mbs7animatesandva226]

The black winds howl.... Very well... Come if it's death you seek!!!!!

[@Shinkada]

Nice redo but that post-song acoustic bit stole it for me. You need to do more straight piano sections Jonny, your playing is beautiful!

[@jedimindtricks87]

Your sense of rhythm and timing is really impressive.

[@IllstrsGamer]

The black wind howls!

[@combativeThinker]

The Illustrious Gamer A black wind blows through you... All weapons dropped to Lv. 1!

[@gregbethscheider5912]

Magus was my favorite character in this game so a great remix of his theme song was going to happen and I love it to bad I was 4 years off dammit

[@LeonKrilangi]

Favorite Chrono Trigger song? Why just one? All three of Lavos' themes (Day of Lavos, World Revolution, Core of Lavos) kick some serious butt, and if you ask me, they're great examples of what final boss themes should sound like. As for suggestions, how about representing Kid Icarus: Uprising some more? Lightning Battle is pretty much metal already, but it'd be interesting to hear your take on Thunder Cloud Temple (more metal) or Aurum Island (more jazz/SWAGGER).

[@JoaoBapt]

World Revolution, please!

[@Bluebomberimo]

This was super rad and I would die to hear you do a full cover of Yearnings of the wind after hearing that beautiful short snippet at the end.

[@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE]

Awesome remake, your sound is most definitely improved and still improving. The drums are more crisp and clearer than ever, the bass lines are getting loudly intense like in 'The Armory' from Mortal Kombat 2, or just in general bass lines from many many great metal bands of all kinds. It fuels my brain and is worth more than money could ever buy. I really would love to play an 8-bit NES based Jonny Atma game where you obtain power ups for the guitar notes to destroy enemies with and what not. Then after that, a 16-bit, then a 64-bit, and so on. I would play the shit out of such games. But hey, such things are easily possible with the technology available these days XD

[@godjira3786]

I would love a champion Cynthia theme done by you since it would be amazing

[@vyz333]

Holy guacamole!, That solo @2:01!

[@Mephiles200108420]

Jonny, I've been a fan of yours for a long time and it would mean more than you know if you did a remix of the various phases of the Cackletta battle. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Typh98]

Oooo....I remember hearing this song in Blast from the past so I know this song luckily, I was afraid I wouldn't know it at all xD

[@russellperry9902]

1:18 ok im ready to fight. lets gettem!!!

[@Yuckpulver]

Wow. There was a hurricane howling through my room, Great work! My favorite song is "Outskirts Of Time". I also love "Flight" from Xenogears. Maybe this works with e-guitars well ;-D

[@blight00000]

Id like to see a remake of this

[@helfire14]

I kinda wanna point out that there's no dislikes, but I don't want to jinx it. Wait. Damnit. I just did.

[@SpectralSlugger]

Still none.....FUCK I JUST JINXED IT

AWW YEAH!!

[@mrmagus4553]

I approve of this video.

Am I the only one who would like Victory road (Ruby/Saphire) SSB edition? That's the song from the Mewtwo Smash 4 trailer!

[@adriangiovanniraynorumboh8989]

In His First Meet... Gametal Meet The Magus. They Are Fighting. With The Super Power Guitar Of Gametal. Magus Lose The Batttle. But, Magus Join Gametal To Stop Lavos, Together. In His Ending, Lavos Was Totally Destroyed. Gametal And Magus Shake His Hand. He Is Awesome. GOOD JOB GAMETAL.

[@kijukitten]

this is soo awsome

[@RevolverAxolot]

Another great remix/cover Johnny! I was wondering what kind of guitar do you use?

[@JonnyAtma]

The True Rocket Mann The one in this video is a Jackson RR3. It's retired but still makes an appearance occasionally!

[@RevolverAxolot]

it sounds pretty good, thanks for the quick reply I also have a request if you will take it, being Shadow Showdown from Drawn to Life The Next Chapter

[@peensteen]

+Jonny Atma the USA is better, nice ebony fret.

[@hesterfranks9716]

[@LetsPlaySagaraStyle]

Amazing!! If you take requests...may I ask for "Adventure's End" from Mario & Luigi Deam Team?

[@Palkia_Onslaught_Gal]

Your wish, Johnny heard.

[@deemo711]

This is just as good as masked dedede!

[@serlink12]

so cool!

[@cassieszczepanski3884]

Amazing!!!

[@Squalid]

Very Good, any music of Chrono Trigger is more than welcome. But this song at the end of the video is good but makes me sad ...

[@PenDreamt]

The dark metal blows... the plains of the void...

[@tedscheett9420]

Magus v. Undyne. Let's see who's wind howls louder...

[@juansantiago8929]

Please for the love of all things holy make a mix of Streetpass Find Mii Final Boss and Chrono Trigger's World Revolution. PLEASE!

[@ThomasEdge]

Yessssssss

[@originalmaincharacter5714]

I know it's a Mitsuda song, but there's something strangely Sakuraba about this.

[@fygarOnTheRun]

Awesome cover! Please do more CT songs :)

Awesome! :)

[@LeonBelmont26]

Everyone Juges Me Harshly for Slaying Magus but I believe froggy(Glen) Deserves his Vengance! Were I in his Shoes I would have wanted to. XD (BTW Your Acustic Versions at the end of the songs are also Amazing lol)

[@nicolasguerrero4042]

10 Songs until the 100th video!

[@peensteen]

I'm a little late, but my fave is World Revolution.

[@omegarupie5028]

[@ALHGaming12]

Please play Saturos Battle theme from Golden Sun. I know you will like it :)

Crusader of Centy - Battle 3 😎

[@ElectricSparx]

Eargasm all the way.

[@adriangiovanniraynorumboh8989]

That Was Great Gametal! In First Opening, Is Definetly So Chilling Moment. After That, It Was Awesome. And The Guitar Sound Was Epic. And Also His Riff, Can I Request One Music? The Music Is Flash In The Dark From Megaman 9. But I Want For His Remake. For Some Reason Is I Wonder If Flash In The Dark Have Best Music Ever I Hear. I'm Hear In 8-bit, Like I Remember At Dr.Wily Stage 1 Megaman 2. I First Hear This Music When I Listening Megaman Medley By Gametal In Android. And Most Awesome Part Is Flash In The Dark Part. I Listening Everytime This Part Flash In The Dark. Like I Imagine Megaman Go To Wily Castle While Raining And Thunder Moment. I Listening This Song When I Play Some Video Game And Finally In Final Level. Oh Ya, I'm Indonesian. I'm Like Every Gametal Music. My Favorite Is Megaman Medley, Nes Medley #2, Beginning/Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, Interstice of the Dimension, Dancing Mad, Decisive Battle, Megaman X Maverick Medley,Big Bowser. I'm Also Suscribe Your Channel! Thank You Very So Much Gametal!

[@PokemonPlazmaGreen]
