Chrono Trigger: Schala's Theme - Metal Cover || RichaadEB

[@Crocogator]

Not just Chrono Trigger. Fuck. This sends chills up my spine. Cross is my favourite.

[@brettsparling2213]

DUDE. This is hands down the most amazing cover of Schala's theme I've heard so far. My jaw actually fell open. No words, just a standing ovation.

[@toddmfay]

Among the best video game music covers I've taken in. Very well done!

[@pauldehayes1898]

The guitar work and the arrangement was amazing, but the one thing that got my hair standing on-end was the intersperement of the keyboard. Haunting and beautiful.

[@Chalmsloff]

After listening to all of your covers, then going back to them again and again, I have to say that this one is by far my favorite. It's just so goddamn GOOD.

[@AdariousMistdancer]

I'm in serious danger of (having already stayed up way too late past the coffee savable state) staying up all night just listening to this guy. Just found him a bit less than an hour ago. Kinda curious if he still talks to ppl on here or not, he's got to be famous as hell by now.

[@RichaadEB]

o shit wuddap

[@AdariousMistdancer]

Not much, running through the covers...had to go back to some older ones to find some other games I'd played through. Listening to the Mass Effect 2 suicide mission one now. Been quite awhile since I've been 'this' hooked on any kind of musical talent. I'd have to say when I got into Disturbed is about the only comparison. Since posting this...hell...dunno how long ago this morning...I found my favorite so far; The original composition: Exodus

[@atlashorne5655]

homie just busted out one of the dankest memes known to man, show some respect!!!

[@StevenPaniagua2]

Dat boiiiii

[@xXbullriderz522Xx]

This makes me want have grown up with this series so much, instead I was born in 2001, bullshit. I still love the chrono series.

[@AyazHB]

+RichaadEB I didn't notice that guy's name so for a second I was wondering what the fuck is going on with your comment.

[@RichaadEB]

+Ayaz Hussain just reread it and so did I tbh

[@epictck5810]

I hate your name. But same.

[@ImortalZeus13]

Brother?

[@sinuspi1]

The guy's changed his name since then, so now your comment looks way out there... :>

[@Variance2012]

Had a shitty day. This made it. Video game composers don't get recognized nearly as much as they deserve and it is always fantastic to see covers people do of that music. It is always a pleasure to find someone who captures it and takes it that one step further. When music can move you emotionally you know it is something special. First piece I have listened to of yours and I already look forward to sitting down and listening to more. Cheers :)

[@Berettadv]

I think I listened to this at least 6 times a day since you released it. No other words it's a masterpiece.

[@RichaadEB]

[@DarkTulkas00]

+closing channel How about all day instead of only 6 times? Truly masterful and beautiful.

[@Berettadv]

Javier Trevino Because I have to limit myself. Too much makes my genitalia hurt due to priapism.

[@jonassamuelschoeller]

This remix man... No matter what I do. Work, walk, chill... As soon as all those different motives come crashing down for the final chorus (?) at 4:22, I'm just bouncing through space and time aboard the epoch.

[@AlbertoLaiho]

It's kind of incredible how you managed to get such an uneventful (yet absolutely beautiful) and strongly melodic jingle into this beast of an arrangement! Holy crap. Every single line on this was great. One of my favorite metal covers of any videogame song ever!

[@gaexionbeoulve2422]

RichaadEB understood the assignment.

[@kricket7134]

I've heard several covers but this...? This is like hearing the song all new again. I fucking dig the work you put in to this, man.

[@sanityismadness]

I love CT and its music with a passion. This is one of the OST's most beloved and most covered tracks. This is one of the best covers of it - metal or otherwise - I've ever heard. It just wound down, replaying it immediately.

[@Crocogator]

must save her. time to go play chrono cross again.

[@suddenslowdeathrecords1378]

then the game, Mr. Melodramatic :P

[@ravaniacrescentia3643]

9 years later, still my favorite Schala theme cover. Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart.

[@warcrimescostextra3992]

Did the black wind just howl out of your guitar? Because one among us shall shortly perish from how awesome this cover was....

[@mistersquareenix]

Never before has a metal instrumental track made me straight cry before, but the pain, the fear, the sadness, the anger, all the emotions swirling in that poor girl's heart are on display through the soulful wail of that goddamn guitar, man. If we ever get a modern CT remake, if they dont contact you personally to do some of the music, they're fucking high. Legendary. Thank you for making my fond childhood memories all the more so.

[@dude4392]

I came across your channel from your Undertale: Megalovania cover and I'm thoroughly enjoying my trip down this rabbit hole. Thank you for this beautiful cover. I think is worth all the time you put into it. I can only hope that once you finish up with Undertale you will return to Chrono Trigger because I'd would like nothing more than to hear your rendition of Frog's Theme. Until then keep up the stellar work.

[@hansolo2138]

Now that I'm almost through your ''Best of''-playlist and the last song is from Undertale (which means, that my comment would probably just be flooded away), I have to get something out of my system: I am AMAZED by how much one can add to a song while staying true to the original. Turns out this is exactly what I was looking for. This is what all good covers should be like and I am glad that I stumbled upon your channel. Now, if you excuse me, I'll be fangirling all over your other stuff I have yet to listen to

[@serveandvolley24]

This is phenomenal, one of the best metal arrangements of any video game song I have ever heard.

[@NESRomancer]

Just amazing man. Tight as a nun's sacred place. Amazing technique as usual.

[@RichaadEB]

NESRomancer thanks man, I appreciate it

[@JosiahEverhart]

Yes! This is my favorite piece from Chrono Trigger! Great work, man. Really pretty. Been planning on doing my own version of this for a long time.

[@RichaadEB]

Josiah McDaniel Thanks man! Yeah Schala is definitely one of my faves as well. I'm excited to hear your eventual take on it!

[@ToxicxEternity]

Your taps thoooo! Amazing job brotha!

[@RichaadEB]

ToxicxEternity ty m8

[@RemyLuciani]

RichaadEB Yeah, your tapping licks are insanely executed! So clean! Thanks for the music!

[@mangachick27]

Not only is your playing beautiful but the camera angles and the editing were incredible! It was worth the added effort on lighting and editing.

[@RichaadEB]

Eden Thaw Thanks! I did my best to work with my tiny ass room and some cheap studio lights :)

[@WWFExpress]

I love this remix, and I appreciate that you included an MP3 DL link.

[@tfmlang]

Absolutely incredible. The way you can take a masterpiece that most people would claim shouldn't be touched into something as unreal as this is a testament to your efforts and talent. It's a huge project and I won't hold it against you if you say no, but I would LOVE to hear you do a cover of Dancing Mad from FFVI!

[@narius_jaden215]

Anyone who does fantastic renditions of the Chrono series has my thumbs up.

[@arumea5418]

I have probably listened to this over a hundred times since it first came out, an addictive and amazing cover for my favorite chrono trigger track. Respect.

[@TheCreepypro]

one of the best versions of this song I have ever heard

[@adrisaurus]

o dis good

[@adrisaurus]

* Oh wow, what a lovely rendition! This is good!

[@MasaeAnela]

* O MAN DIS GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT YEAH

[@adrisaurus]

* burger

[@Naphistim]

Wow, this may be the best cover of... any game track that I've heard on KZbin, ever. You do fantastic work; definitely got my subscribe.

[@Draskon5665]

Huge fan of the ambience in this track. Those riffs and tapping sections sound awesome too dude. Especially loving the effects you use on the tapping section at 3:09. Keep it up, man!

[@Furber216]

Your CT covers never disappoint. I think you could do a great job with either of the 2 final Lavos battle themes (some ppl combine them into a medley, not sure if that's your style). But really, anything from CT that you do will undoubtedly turn out amazing.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Sweet jesus that was sick. Makes me want to quit making weekly videos and spend more time on a track like this so I can make stuff like you do. How long did this one take to do?

[@RichaadEB]

insaneintherainmusic I think this arrangement has been floating around in my head since March, and I had been working kinda sorta on it on and off until about 8 days ago, which is when I really started to get stuff done on it. My progress on it even during those 8 days was really sporadic though, sometimes I'd just stare at my DAW playing what I had laid down over and over again before closing and giving up for the night. This is why I take forever on my videos lol

[@MrTBSC]

+RichaadEB generaly no point in rushing because you rather risk to hurt the quality of a track ...

[@rafaelsb4408]

I always loved CT soundtrack. I found your channel while looking for undersea palace, but i gotta admit I loved what you did with keyboards in this one. Superb.

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

I must add that it also remids me of David Maxim Micic's stuff. Gorgeously djenty!!

[@emilybowman6415]

Whoa. Sitting in shock. Whoa. Dude, you rock. That was a brilliant arrangement. I love how you wove the rockin' and the ethereal character together so perfectly.

[@kuroze2166]

Wow, this needs more views. All of your work is fantastic.

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

Tears of a penis that was so beautifully well crafted. I need to finish this damn game already.

[@aallgod]

One of my favorite metal covers of a song I have heard thus far! Solid work all-around to a theme I absolutely adore!

[@UbaldoB]

Very nice man. You're getting more and more atmospheric and immersive with each arrangement. I really dig the cleans in this over everything else, but damn, your rhythms are on point man. Keep it up dude, and don't you stop writing.

[@RichaadEB]

*****

[@TheRelicsPoint]

Beautiful and awesome at the same time. Great cover of my favorite tune on that OST. Love it!

[@josepharrington8391]

the tragedy of janus & schala is one of the greatest side plots in any video game, and continues to make me think of chrono trigger even to this day though i haven't played the game in many years. it's stupid but i still feel a small tinge of emotion whenever i hear schala's tune because even though it's fiction, on some level it's real enough to me that i feel a sense loss for magus. it was a great story. they really don't make games like this anymore.

[@Skydog6301]

This is one of my favorite tracks from my favorite game of all time. It's good to see that you've done it justice.

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

This pleases my ears in many ways, bro! Love the addition of the 6-string bass, I'm sure it will spice your sound up even further than it already does down the line.

[@TheCulturedPrimate]

Dude, we absolutely love your work. I would love to see more Chrono stuff in your style. It's truly epic!

[@JoseGonzalez-jq5ug]

Una de las mejores versiones que existen de este Tema. Buen trabajo. Chrono Trigger!

[@jaredhull2776]

This brought tears to a 32 year old man. Absolutely gorgeous score. One of my favorite pieces from the franchise.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Dude, if I could give you a tribute, I would give all of mine for this. This is a real power ballad, and I love it.

[@AHmusic]

It's like PTH decided to make VGM covers, I love it t_t

[@ColinWilson1980]

Oh man, an incredible cover of one of my all-time favourite tracks. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@tsunamininja]

Was wondering how a metal cover of this would turn out. Great, is the answer :D

[@DemolisherDonut]

Always epic stuff on this channel keep up the good work RichaadEB

[@stavesacre1981]

Just amazing. Love the brilliant take on one of my favorite songs from a wonderful game.

[@blulink]

This brought a tear to my eye. The song was beautiful before but your interpretation brought out something more than before. Wonderful.

[@BenjaminGlatt]

This is indisputably the best track from the game. Like, it's my favourite forever until I die. This is just beautiful. Like. That's it. Thanks so, so much for this.

[@jasonmedeiros4712]

Dude you are amazing. I'm so glad you decided to make Chrono trigger music. The best soundtrack for a game ever lol. You did it justice man thanks

[@DavidRussell323]

I LOVE those breaks at 1:40 and throughout similar sections of the track. What the heck is that bweh bweh drum thing at 4:40 because it's freaking perfect

[@RichaadEB]

DavidRussell323 That's an udu drum! I don't own one but have some decent samples. They're kinda inexpensive and really fuckin cool. PoopPoopFart uses one in his Secret of the Forest cover. Glad you like it man!

[@HenrikRudi]

Never heard this song before, but this is probably my favorite cover from you. Amazing.

[@Hazamatoxin]

My god..........my ears were just assaulted with all this awesome!!!!

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

Just when I thought your Ocean Palace cover was the greatest thing ever, you have outdone yourself once again!

[@ShinyZeni]

How do your videos not have more views? Holy crap man these are amazing. Keep doing what you're doing for sure!!

[@RichaadEB]

+Shiny Zeni share them around!

[@Happydoody]

DEER GAWD!! This is a magical masterpiece! Much love and thank you ya beautiful soul!

[@slimebuck]

lol, chrono trigger and "spent too much time" is kinda funny to me. Just get back in the Epoch and get it back.. oh, you crashed it into lavos? well damn OMFG the best rendition of Shalas theme I have ever heard. talent man, dear god you should be proud of this work - liked, and subbed

[@Tachtzehn]

Dat Groove Dem Melodies 10/10: Would headbang again

[@eabn87]

I liked and subscribed in less than 10 seconds. If 1% youtubers were this good this would be the top greateast era cultural advance.

[@SSKLegaia]

Found your channel because of Schala. Thanks for doing a great work in one of my favorite songs. :D

[@MG42Qlippoth]

The amount of work put into that cover is insane and should have more views!

[@MDXDMusic]

Your technique with the tremelo really stands out in this one mate. Also the rhythm guitars are just magnificent! Tremendous work yet again from the one and only! (And no, I'm not talking about Chesney Hawkes!)

[@vinidveryou7766]

Hello. I just want to mention one thing. This is a theme of Schala winning over Lavos. Battle begins, but she is taking over. And that's why this theme gets so heavy and metal. As she triumphs. For her brother. For Zeal.

[@64BitGuitar]

This arrangement is pretty insane. Got a LOT of stuff going on. Love the riffs and everything about it but it's hard for me personally to focus on all of it at once. Awesome job though, man! This is great! :)

[@GuitarGeek25]

The bass taps oh my... Beautiful cover man

[@jasonhald2450]

Holy shit, tons of respect man. I've been sharing your songs since Undertale...but HOLY HELL these covers! My second favorite soundtrack of all time beautifully covered by an awesome metal artist. Thank you for this sir. It inspires the shit out of me to keep playing guitar! Now...what are the chances of covering my favorite game soundtrack of all time...Chrono Cross?

[@jaradhaggard1080]

Unbelievably solid. Mercy me.

[@Augustomz]

Richaad stahp what are youdoin u are breaking youtube this is too good

[@giblaz]

this may very well be the greatest cover of anything ever posted on the internet well done my man

[@rustedmind7846]

Skull-fracturing, brain-bleeding, metal at its finest! As a longtime lover of Schala's theme from Chrono Trigger, I have quite a discriminating ear. I've NEVER seen a proper Metalcore cover for it--until today. Hats off to ya, RichaadEB! That said, I've also noticed something that as a hardcore/metalcore fan, you may not have realized. If you slow down the tempo and reel back the distortion a bit, the result would be an epic cross between the power ballads of the '80s and 'The End of Heartache' by Killswitch Engage. Might be something to consider as a future project. As it is, the current track's already on my hard drive and on repeat. If my brain liquifies under the sound pressure levels, I've got written instructions to send you the bill for my burial :P

[@RichaadEB]

+Rusted Mind Glad to hear it, thanks!

[@bboynoe]

My brain exploded again. Sweet Jeeeeezus! That edgy, blue tinted video editing. My gah! Everything about this is just fucking amazing. The rhythm is so godamn tight! How did you even get yer guitar that low man? You can go lower though. Please do your next cover in Dropped Q tuning pls.

[@RichaadEB]

***** I actually recorded the rhythms in A# and the leads in C. It was a bit of a struggle, but not too bad. Glad you liked it man!

[@DidWeMakeIt]

This is simply awesome, thank you

[@engetsu75]

Dude I need more of 4:38 - 5:00 So nice man.

[@MrTBSC]

holy shit this piece is BEAST !!! i dare say mixing was perfect as well ...

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Absolutely incredible dude! Super tight rhythms!

[@hrishikeshyalgudkar5248]

Blastbeat ruined it tbh.. it is masking/dampening the guitar, can't you see?

[@ZefUnavailable]

This is probably my favorite of yours so far Mr Richaad.

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

Oh dear Odin!! It feels like I'm listening to Tesseract on videogame esteroids!! Great work dude!! Keep rocking and djenting!!!!

[@Pyrobug0]

I'm sure this was a lot of work, but it sounds freaking amazing.

[@jonnyjpg_]

For some reason, I'm just imagining the vocalist of ERRA screaming on top of this. Well done.

[@robertbuechner6641]

this is so ridiculously awesome. i have so much energy right now.

[@vidazen9410]

This is how you reinvent VGM! So so good!!

[@NintendoCoreDuo]

Awesome as usual :D You could play: "24 Our Last Hope" from XCOM: Enemy Uknow. That track is awesome and I'm pretty sure you would make it better! Please!

[@Nomadskid96]

Can't get enough of this drum track.

[@jordihidalggonz1963]

Damn man I was excellent and I kept listening to the song ... a greeting and greetings from Cordoba Veracruz Mexico! I hope one day to play like your guitar!
