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

[@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.

[@adrisaurus]

o dis good

[@adrisaurus]

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

[@MasaeAnela]

[@gaexionbeoulve2422]

RichaadEB understood the assignment.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@toddmfay]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 ...

[@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.

[@AmieWaters]

Oh my lawd.

[@serveandvolley24]

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

[@warcrimescostextra3992]

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

[@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.

[@narius_jaden215]

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

[@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!

[@Crocogator]

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

[@ravaniacrescentia3643]

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

[@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.

[@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... :>

[@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!

[@AHmusic]

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

[@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]

*****

[@NESRomancer]

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

[@RichaadEB]

NESRomancer thanks man, I appreciate it

[@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.

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

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

[@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 :)

[@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

[@jaredhull2776]

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

[@AnesBkdm]

Is that a Dual Rectifier I've just spotted?

[@RichaadEB]

Tsuko G. Yep, and an orange 4x12!

[@AnesBkdm]

RichaadEB Oh the jealousy! :c

[@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.

[@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.

[@TheCreepypro]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Crocogator]

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

[@suddenslowdeathrecords1378]

then the game, Mr. Melodramatic :P

[@TheCulturedPrimate]

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

[@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!

[@WWFExpress]

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

[@Happydoody]

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

[@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.

[@ColinWilson1980]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@kuroze2166]

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

[@blulink]

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

[@giblaz]

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

[@Pyrobug0]

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

[@MG42Qlippoth]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@DemolisherDonut]

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

[@JoseGonzalez-jq5ug]

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

[@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!

[@TheRelicsPoint]

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

[@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.

[@mememastodon69]

This is criminally underviewed.

[@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.

[@HenrikRudi]

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

[@GuitarGeek25]

The bass taps oh my... Beautiful cover man

[@ZefUnavailable]

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

[@stavesacre1981]

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

[@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.

[@SSKLegaia]

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

[@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!)

[@galewallblanco8184]

My first and most favorite song/soundtrack that i've ever ever heard, in a amazing and perfect cover, i love you dude.

[@RichaadEB]

+Amkhao Llilalom Mhhk thanks!

[@robertbuechner6641]

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

[@tsunamininja]

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

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Absolutely incredible dude! Super tight rhythms!

[@hrishikeshyalgudkar5248]

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

[@Hazamatoxin]

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

[@NintendoCoreDuo]

So much feels... :) You really outdid yourself with this one Rich!

[@DidWeMakeIt]

This is simply awesome, thank you

[@TerryHesticles87]

Absolutely legendary. Well done my friend!

[@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

[@jonnyjpg_]

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

[@Augustomz]

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

[@josephlamontagne7294]

9 years later and this is still one of my favorite songs

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

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

[@gigaganon]

beautiful and amazing, thank you for this!

[@Eri6c]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn. Fantastic,Amazing,Nostalgic,Epic and Perfect. Good memories man.

[@DeanDip]

This is an incredible cover of schala's theme. So awesome!

[@vidazen9410]

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

[@jaradhaggard1080]

Unbelievably solid. Mercy me.

[@Indigious]

out of everything you have done this is really good

[@kuroka13]

Once again, you pulled it off masterfully.

[@lackey2954]

This still gives me chills...

[@JonMW]

You put exactly the right amount of effort into this :D

[@fatimagochi1184]

I Googled the word "Perfection"... the link to this video came up. Brilliant, simply brilliant :')

[@kurisu7885]

Erock nailed the mystic feeling of this song ,and so did you. ^^

[@McWiffles]

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?

[@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.

[@Crystjan1]

einfach nur gut! super job!

[@vsoco4921]

Man, this is awesome!

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

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