i have to ask just like the last dancing mad video original version or recent ff14 version of dancing mad :) which got used or broke down for or inspired this

[@Gunstling]

Doom Style? -Rules of Nature -Vampire Killer -Dual of Fates Synthwave Style? -Gladiator (Doom Eternal) -Heaven's Divide (MGS: Peace Walker)

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

@@Nomadic_Gaming Gah sorry I must have missed your last one - I used the original and the black mages version as references!

[@zrytun6019]

Ayo you may not of heard this one but have you considered darkeater midirs theme in the style of doom? It's from dark souls 3 and for an orchestral song is pretty heavy by itself, just an opportunity to make it even heavier

[@JWbrasser]

@@GeoffPlaysGuitar I'd love the reverse of this, something like Nobuo's version of cultist base or something

a DANCING-Mad Lad? I'll see myself out...

[@ezmercopal5416]

@GeoffPlaysGuitar I think Vauthry from ff14 deserves a doomified theme. At some point in the future. I think a harp is exactly the kind of instrument that would sound insane if it got your musical overhaul.

[@Ontarianmm]

Another way of putting it is that he is a Slayer level threat.

[@suhanhwang9988]

That right there, good sir, is a valid statement. Rip and tear forever, my man.

I can't get over this riff starting at 0:39. It makes me wanna mine obsidian with my teeth.

[@baronlovat5200]

Mick Gordan started an entirely new Genre of music, it's just not quite been codified as a newly named genre yet.

[@AlexNight]

I could just somehow see this being played in the final boss fight against the Dark Lord in the Ancient Gods Pt. 2. Particularly the beginning part and the final verse.

why is Mick Gordon trying to hide himself as "GeoffPlaysGuitar" ?

Now I want Kefka to be a secret boss in DOOM Eternal.

[@unrelentingdoom1390]

I’ve already commented this earlier but would absolutely love a Berserk ost (Ghosts specifically) Doom mix because it already kinda sounds like Doom. The older ones especially.

[@blackh9604]

I know you went through how you did everything in the other video but it always blows my mind how spot on it sounds

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

"Edgar, you son of a submarine!"

I so much need an extended version of the intro

[@a_sconefield]

this sounds like it could be straight from Eternal or 2016. incredible

[@ReleeSquirrel]

That's really good! I kinda wish it did the whole 9 minute Dancing Mad but it's enough of a re-imagining that it stands on its own as its own thing and doesn't need to be shackled to the two sources. Still, if you wanna do another one I would be delighted.

[@snappertrx]

As a huge fan of FF6 and Doom, thank you. This is incredible!

You should do Minecraft's Soundtrack based on the Nether (which is basically hell) by C148.

Even the nut case Kefka likes this one Geoff. Lookin back, I remember when I heard the most hype song Ive ever heard on one of Jin Lee's vids. He posted that channel in his description.

Phenomenal!! I bump this when I'm on the freeway! You keep enough of the song itself intact building off Doom Eternals musical style in amazing transitions!!

[@owlgoddess8534]

this guitar at 2:24 does not sound like anything that would be in doom but at the same time if i heard that while playing a doom level it would be so cool

[@lollol4106]

[@MrDodgyh]

Keep this content coming legend! Looking forward to your name being accredited to some gaming bangers in future titles!

[@acidhydra101]

That beginning part is awesome, it reminds me of one of my D&D villains, a subspace demon acting under the guise of a god of light From what I know about the character the original song is about, I guess the false god part isn't too far off.
