Contra Meets Metal

Hey guys,
So recently I've been seeing requests for this one. I'm working on a TV tune at the moment but couldnt resist doing this one. Definitely some of my favorite NES music. Long ago I heard the Vomitron version of the levels and it was just so full of win I had to give it a try too. Thank you guys so much for everything, it means the world. Big ups for all the suggestions, comments, subs, messages, donations, fan art and support. You guys ALWAYS rock my casbah!
Best to ya

the original Metal gear :') them memories....

[@EuricDinkins]

Contras soundtrack always made you feel like a bad ass

[@Milciadesbrea]

F A right!

[@maximumpainer16]

if Konami ever thinks of making a reboot of Contra on PS4/Xbox One this music should be used on its stages >:D

[@yūsari5331]

nope they moved to iOS/Andriod as Contra: Returns

[@thisisbloodred]

All dreams don't come true.

[@mhonchumikikz2365]

Yes bro u are right this Contra is legends game

[@lostinadirondacks4825]

i.totally agree, this is contra

[@BeeUltima]

I think so. 😁

[@pedropenaloza6692]

[@dhirajthakareonline3089]

Pedro Penaloza supermemory.

[@zzz-x7p]

Love that he's smiling throughout and having a good time. Good stuff.

[@gregwagner6647]

Worlds best Contra Metal Cover... PERIOD. It's 2020 and no one got even close

[@KillSwitchNY]

1:33 That breakdown is the friggin best. Always gets me pumped when you walk into that 1st machine.

[@jamespaterson5867]

I actually ripped this song to MP3 and play this while driving to work. This jam always gets me amp'd!!!

[@Ghost-pb4ts]

Available a better version in yt music from him officially

[@OldManTheseDays]

What I like most about this is that you arranges this differently enough that it sounds new, but still evokes the feeling of the original. Great track!

[@dadywarbuckz]

absolutely outstanding..this guy can play anything when he's got a smile on his face!

[@Drew927]

cannot believe he just pulled that off.. and made it better

[@mikelastname6469]

I've had this music stuck in my head for, well, about 27 years now. Thank you for playing this. I wonder if this is how Konami wanted it to sound coming out of the consoles? Maybe they sat around and played something like you're playing now? Anyway, AWESOME!

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I like how you combined the music from each level into one long jam.

[@JoelGalilee]

I absolutely love these videos. What I find is best is the wonderful smile he has all the time. :)

[@MrAnujsuhag]

if its at all possible , this guy is getting even better.. loved it......2:21 crazy stuff

[@pokebob10100]

I do believe for the music this man has brought us, he deserves 30 extra lives

[@freelookmode9837]

Göktuğ Erbaş that was the code for me. Not 2 b A's, no select

[@dichado]

Can't understand the thumbs down...this guy is super fantastic even if you don't like guitar or metal or everything.......he's really better than more famous guitar players.

[@rakshaansoogrim6566]

SoooooGoooood! Best Contra mix out there

[@rathernot7810]

Apart from his amazing shredding, that smile and joy is the best thing in this vid. I now know the answer to worldpeace: give everyone a guitar and learn them to play this song ;)

[@jerkcola2660]

i just loved the happiness while playing, shining from his face! ^^

[@drzmorenaso]

The 80's babies across the world thank you for your killer sound of nostalgia.

[@grisznik]

Seems that Contra theme is perfect for metal renditions

[@TheVentrexian]

A lot of the nes composer had metal in mind for there songs. Mega man being a great example also.

[@Frooxius]

Yeah. Listen to this boss tune from Contra HardCorps: Contra: Hard Corps - Last Springsteen [Genesis] Music It screams metal, even though it's 16-bit! :D

[@Alarey024]

julius morales oh yeah man he does :D gotta love him

[@Iwillmakeyousqueal]

grisznik i think so too

[@xXEmbracetheMetalXx]

grisznik It's pretty damn epic!

[@rush2death]

Man I've been listening to this track and the Castlevania one..And the Chrono Trigger one for like 20 days straight at least 7 times a day EACH. Love you man, can't wait for your show on the 23rd! I got my front row ticket!!!

[@andrewkeaton4745]

Someday's all it takes to turn a crappy day into a good one is coming home and watching your videos. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@piratesservantesx4468]

Awesome!!! Thank you ! Ohh man I miss my childhood

Spread guns? Not needed if we have a guitarist like Eric! This kicks ass!

[@felpawgaming8767]

I would need THE CODE to play this good

[@HelplessProcrastinatorChannel]

Demm, When I see you're videos I smile! You just keep smiling! It's nice to know that you like what you do man :)

[@mr.flavor6785]

Dude, you make me so happy....nohomo. Seriously though, what you do looks like so freakin much fun and it's easy to see that you are having a blast. Thanks man, love the games go metal remixes!

[@joeybadassBmusicdude]

This song was meant for metal, you made it reality.3

[@christmasham4312]

This dude has the most consistent, highest quality content on youtube! I wished I subscribed earlier!

[@yeremiapatuan4877]

Yeah, that's awesome! I'm ready for a Spreadgun.

[@Sh-hg8kf]

Screw that, Laser gun is better

[@KillSwitchNY]

+Shashank Narayan Ram duuuuude. lazer will get you killed! Spreadgun all the way.

[@mikelastname6469]

+KillSwitchNY you need to have a teammate with the spread gun to have your back while you hit all the hard targets with the laser.

[@El_carrasca]

Brutal!!! I don't have words...AWESOME. Can see that you enjoy, this is the most important

[@tomperri3693]

My face melted. Holy shit. Awesome! I love how he's having a damn good time with this one too. Look at that smirk on his face

[@jonhg92]

you should get in contact with Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) and create an awesome track of his video intro!

[@squifurgie]

and get Smooth McGroove in on it as well

[@nintenjoel]

squifurgie Dude. Good call. Smooth Mcgroove is awesome!

[@McHerpyDerps]

squifurgie That would be a Dream come True

[@WyattOShea]

squifurgie No idea who that is or the AVGN person either XD

AVGN = Angry Video Game Nerd.

I'm still waiting for the Powerpuff Girls meets Metal theme. Cheers mate :) P.s. You're awesome.

[@rasingh9557]

Contra theme is the best of all music he played. :)

I don't really listen to metal, but for some reason this video gave me chills. +1 sub there my friend. :)

[@imperviousview]

That's the cheat for the GameBoy version. Contra for NES's cheat code is: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START. 😊

[@jenniferaravena485]

yes, is the Konami code

[@lukelafontaine69]

@@imperviousview Umm, how is it different from nightsong81's? It's literally the same thing. The Konami Code never changed. Heck, it's reused in some games that are not even canon to Contra. They just used it as a shoutout to the origin of the code, hence the name, Konami Code.

[@lukelafontaine69]

@delt Did you try 3? It's pretty challenging as well. Try the one on the 3DS, I heard its also pretty awesome.

More ROCK IS NOT POSSIBLE :D

[@minipaganini]

***** Vertex guy's version is better.

[@crxtodd16]

minipaganini I don't know, man. Vertexguy's does sound good - he's very talented, but his version is more flamboyant. I suppose if you're more into 90's hair metal, then yes, I could see how you would like that version better than this. Erock is more modern, heavier, and kicks more ass without having to wear makeup. Lol

[@iceowl6733]

Oh my god I fell into a jungle and its scary..(Song line)

[@TheShattMan]

F-Zero for sure! That was already some awesome music. In his hands my face shall surely melt off!

[@squifurgie]

I agree, I have requested Battletoads a bunch of times already, there are so many great tunes in those games: The map screen, the pause screen, the intro screen, everything. Please do Battletoads meets Metal!!!!

I've been waiting for you to do a contra cover for a while now and you did not disappoint. You have serious skills and deserve a lot more support. BTW Thank you for the contra cover!!!

[@thomasdalevoll911]

I love all of your work and think you're the most badass musician on youtube!!! Me and my friend have been going around thinking you are the only one worthy of making a metal version of "In the jungle". Just saying that would be awesome, but then again whatever you do is awesome anyway :D Keep rocking!!!
