So I'm trying some new drum tones here and I took quite a while trying to balance them into the mix without completely blowing them out. I think everything sounds slightly nicer, but it'll take some time for me to hear some of the little things that are buggin me about them that I can't quite put my finger on yet.
Aside from that, this is my first foray into the world of Donkey Kong music! I know, I know, I know I fucking know I'LL GET AROUND TO DOING STICKERBUSH AND AQUATIC IT'LL JUST TAKE A WHILE CUZ THOSE ARE CONSIDERED SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC CLASSIC VG TRACKS AND I WANNA DO EM RIGHT

[@The8BitDrummer]

How... How did you know to cover my favorite song... SOOOOO GOOD!!!

[@krealyesitisbeta5642]

This is the 8-bit drummer seal of approval here,

[@elwafflejr3856]

I would listen to you drum a weeks work of fear factory

[@Axioanarchist]

"I never played this game as a kid." Have you rectified that as an adult? =) If not, do so! You won't regret it. And that goes double for DKC2!

[@deyonnu8111]

And Triple for DKC3 ?

[@Axioanarchist]

+Deyonnu Gel no, sadly DKC3 wasn't quite as good as its predecessors. an ok game in its own right but not the amazing classic 1 and 2 were.

[@deyonnu8111]

Axioanarchist Indeed, but it's nice one.

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

I like DKC3 personally, but there really is no denying the majesty of the first two.

[@Axioanarchist]

Oh agreed 100%. DKC3 is by *_no means_* a *BAD* game. It's a very good game. It's just not a _great_ game. I think a large part of this is that it feels too much like a watered-down DKC1. The combo of Dixie and Kiddy is very similar to Diddy and Donkey - Dixie's float being the only real differing mechanic between the two pairs - and there's nothing particularly _new_ about the levels, puzzles, and encounters in the third game. So I think that contributed a lot to it feeling less impressive and less memorable than its predecessors.

[@ToxicxEternity]

your tones sound fucking awesome dad. Also dat groove

[@RichaadEB]

ty papi

[@XeloSky]

No homo :3

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Forgot how good this game's soundtrack was, great jobbbbbbbbbbb

[@brandonklopfenstein1633]

Oh my god dude please do it

[@rachelholden792]

Dang it. I love this. It's musicians like you, Swiggles, Jparecki, PyjamaPants and so many others that inspired me to recently pick up my guitar again, even though I only know 3 chords and my calluses aren't tough yet. But you know what? I'm going to keep playing. I won't give up on it ever again. All in the hopes that one day, I'll be able to post videos of myself playing my favourite music just like all of you are. Thanks for being part of the VGM community (that goes for all musicians too!) ❤️

[@RichaadEB]

do it dude!!

[@Gh0stClown]

Mate, every great guitarist started from knowing 3 chords and having soft fingers. You just gotta keep at it man.

[@ahmedp800]

David Wise is a Genius! Nice cover man :)

[@RoPanuganti]

So happy to hear Donkey Kong from ya, even if the first game out when you were an adult.

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

YES! I have waited so long to hear a metal version of this song, and you knocked it out of the park!

[@TheRealBDouble]

My favorite music track from DKC1 and this might be my favorite tennis

[@wesfitzgerald1949]

Jesus Christ this is so badass. This should fit any 1 on 1 battle

[@Furber216]

Haha you bet Stickerbrush and AA will be most requested now that you've put out a DKC cover, but tbh this is my favorite tune in the whole series. Thanks for covering it!

[@HekdarThunderfist]

Loved it. The harmonies on the verse melody were awesome

[@Solvanderlyn]

This is the best rendition of this track that I have ever heard.

[@FortisMaximus]

Thank you so much for this. All I ever wanted in life was an awesome metal cover of this song and I never thought I'd see the day.

[@PerrydactylShow]

I'm so happy you finally covered DKC. THANK YOU

[@masonguyman3074]

I looked at the title, was like, "Maybe not for me, but it *is* RichaadEB". And I now find myself pleasantly surprised. Keep doin what you're doin man.

[@lunchbagSSBU]

absolute head banger

[@DemonshireMetalMusic]

That phat snare though!! One of the best video game songs in the history of everything. Extremely nicely done there, mate!

[@Zedrinbot]

You're way too fuckin' good at this.

[@GenBadGuy]

Incredible cover of one of the best tracks from the series. Great work!

[@StephenSpanner]

Holy fuck! Just came across all your stuff. I'm hooked!

[@nicholasrodriguez5311]

I've heard alot of the metal covers to this and by far yours is the BEST!!! Thanks for that..

[@Darkmis13]

My favourite DKC song. Thank you so much!

[@Berettadv]

Yes that lighting is terrific! Awesome cover man!

[@nrtm182]

Goosebumbs. Marvelous job man!

[@Shadycicada]

0:59 god damn, that's hella groovy, man. Awesome job

[@JungleScene]

This is my favorite VGM song of all time, along with corridors of time. So glad you covered this one man. You did a great job and totally did it justice. Cheers!

[@spritekingdom2]

I love the brutal honesty in your description

[@OtherBross]

Played the game or not, you rocked it regardless. Always a pleasure to see what pops up next.

[@TheWtfanime]

Another cover that made me cold with goosebumps Damn that opening and the middle part, I love how you held the sound and made it seem like one long note kept some good suspense.

[@Joobie]

Twas guuuuud. One of my favorites of yours. Love the solo tone too. Good jorb!

[@xiao_hughes]

Amazing man. Really cool bass tapping, and I think your drums really blew me away the most :)

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Simply awesome!

[@jadestrasdas2978]

Hell yeah

[@iancook915]

The entire game has such amazing music, and you 100% did this song justice. Keep up the amazing work.

[@MrThomas20121]

Awesome cover!

[@PunishThemMetal]

wow very nice. gonna listen to this a bunch times I'm sure!

[@ergiova9240]

Wooow, gave me that Dynasty Warriors feelin’!!! Awsome!

[@bigbosspatze8223]

Damn that cover is awesome! Good job Richaad.

[@diretactics231]

The is definitely one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard. Keep rockin Rich! \m/

[@soledezruiz2860]

this is one of my favorite songs of this game woaaah!!! awesome version!!!!!!!!!!

[@BalthazarHDBZ]

Oh man, FEARLESS cover! Got me bopping my head. Fingers crossed for a power metal Funky's Flights DKC1 cover next-ish!

[@gabocarina96]

Holy shit man! Really nice to see you do some good old DKC!!

[@GarrettGrimm]

Well done, keep it up!

[@McCraigitron]

Dude this blew my balls off. You are fucking killing it man. Keep it up!

[@WayWardWonderer]

AMAZING!!

[@AGore88]

Most people would be happy with playing the right notes, but you are always all about the details, making them sound often times better than the original! Never stop, please!

[@AtomicPandaSloth]

For a moment I thought you were covering a Fear Factory song, but regardless this kickass dude!

[@nrtm182]

AWESOME JOB!! :D

[@richardmmackay]

Stop this... you are too good. My body cannot take the awesomeness of this!! :O

[@samuslightsuit]

And you realized this game's greatness on your own creating this indefinite masterpiece. Thank you for always being a part of our lives you wonderful man you.

[@HenrikRudi]

I feel like the atmospheric songs from the DKC series would fit very well with your style. Hope to see more expanded dongs soon!

[@superturbomira]

AWESOME

[@Lugmillord]

One of the most atmospheric DKC tracks as an awesome metal track - awesome \m/

[@maximalsilverlioness5633]

Wow that sounded pretty badass for Donkey Kong.

[@user-my4dm9zl8e]

Awesome

[@Rovalq1819]

I'm a big big fan of your stuff. The quality is top-notch and I always genuinely look forward to a new video. One minor critique with this one: I would have liked it a bit more is if the lead part (xylophone part in the original score) that starts at 0:30 would have been a bit louder or more distinct/set apart from the rest of the guitar. It gets a bit muddled at some points. Looking forward to more!

[@TokyoMonsta1]

I LOVE THIS TRACK!!! AWESOME COVER!

[@akshayb.9693]

very cool. I always thought the rhythm of the bass line would work well for something proggy or djenty, but you managed to get it into a really melodic/riffy tune that's pretty awesome.

[@HippieRockerJohn57]

I didn't know I needed this in my life...until I heard this. Now I need it more than ever now.

[@LasekiTF2]

Oh fucking hell yes, this song is amazing and so is this cover

[@mavies33]

I have goosebumps all over ! WHAT A GREAT COVER ! I'M AN AVID DKC PLAYER by the age of 4 until now that i'm 24 ! also im a fan of metal music damn duuude ! you ROCK ! more power !

[@marcoswillianl]

The lights in my room are turning off and on, anyone know why?

[@obi-wankenobi_4972]

Hello RichaadEB, I'm French and I love your work. I bought your album determination of undertale and it is so cool! You're rock!

[@tasertag7513]

Just on time!

[@PositronPlays]

Hot damn this fantastic!

[@BloderModer]

YESSSS! Thank you so much Richaad!

[@asperg8735]

That sounded fucking NICE

[@calldres9544]

"I never played this game as a kid" yet you managed to pick the perfect metal cover, props mate

[@sanityismadness]

simply... wicked.

[@notrachelable]

I am SO HAPPY you finally did some DKC!!! I love the music from that game (and subsequent games), David Wise is one of my favorite composers. I love what you did with this arrangement!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Haven't heard this level theme in a long ass time, and glad to hear this.

[@XeroNeroZero]

its a great game, definitely worth a play through

[@paigel.8015]

Can't wait for Aquatic Ambience! Maybe do a few tracks from Tropical Freeze too?

[@xxdarkrexxx]

this is fuk¡ng awesome. Great Job

[@ospreytalon8318]

How did it take four years for KZbin to show me this... I'm sad I've missed out till now

[@robhorgan9767]

You may not have played it, but you sure gave me intense nostalgia. :)

[@pruple-tm]

Earlier in my notifications I wasn't paying much attention and thought you did a bass cover of a Fear Factory (the band) song XD Nice cover either way \m/

[@furan_Guitar]

espectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bigmeatyclaws9247]

Gotta be my number 2 behind aquatic ambience

[@dj-gc3bh]

This sounded so fuckin cool, you need to cover more dkc songs

[@wiiwarlock]

It would be so awesome if you covered Feather Fiend from Donkey Kong Country Returns! It would sound so good in electric guitar!

[@edwardv.3550]

Yes! That needs to exist!

[@nobel11]

Damn. Well played.

[@radicalhoneybadgergamer]

So epic

[@LorenzodeSequera]

and thus rich kong was born

[@RichaadEB]

p a p a ?

[@MewtwoShadow]

brother, disco trainnnnnnn :D Sick beat tho!

[@BigBurkhart]

I love all of the work you do! So much great shredding, across so many games. I have a few suggestions if you're ever looking for tracks. Good Night Mom - La Mulana (Though I wouldn't be sad if you did every boss theme. They're all awesome for different reasons.) Battle with the Wanted - Metal Max/Metal Saga Boss Theme - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Keep up the great music, man!

[@venomew]

I discovered this yesterday. Here's to the fourth listening!

[@darkIkarus]

One of my favourite tracks from DKC besides Aquatic Ambiance of course. However, I like the music from the DKL series, too. Oh, and I can't wait to hear all the tracks from DKC2, looking forward!

[@ValanceJ]

:D I love this so much!

[@Rockastaken]

Yay! my favorite donkey kong 1 song!!

[@josevalenciairiarte6247]

Solid

[@guitarded222]

After watching your videos for a long time now i started noticing how easily you play things, like how you don't tense up i mean(not saying your stuff is easy to play lol). 1:03 is a perfect example. If I ever try to play stuff like that I notice that my wrist and elbow gets really really tense. Anyways after noticing I am trying to correct it. I have no friggin idea where i am going with this comment haha. Solid cover and awesome playing as always :)

[@RichaadEB]

gotta relax mate - just takes practice!

[@MidorinoNinja501]

Before you get to Stickerbrush Symphony and Aquatic Ambience, you have got to check Manic Mines (I think that's the track's name) from DKC2. It should help ease you into those two classics after this fantastic cover.

[@SirMusty2]

You might not have played this as a kid but i sure did. Thank you for this

[@yesiamthebaker]

YESSSSSSS! Finally some DKC music! WOOOOOO

[@misterbrunoochoa]

Que musicos tan chingones¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@777GameRetro]

it's sounds like dbz tenkaichii 3 ost, it's awesome dude!

[@akatsukiSound]

nice!

[@ChristianRichardson]

2:54 to the end was KILLER

[@Theidealheight_]

Radical

[@WatarouDesiderus]

This sounds so good, I'm not a fan of donkey Kong but this adaptation sounds amazing.
