[@bce5150]

I've wanted to hear a metal version of this since 1994..... you made the 20 year wait worth it.... bravo.

I love that the cannonballs fall right when the big drum beats come in. This moment was Rare's pinnacle.

[@JehuMcSpooran]

To help us with that point I used to yell "POSITIONS!" when my cousin and I were playing. Loved that game.

[@DanielKieft-ju3ek]

This game is epic

[@lorriecra]

Omg yes

[@Z-Bruhly]

YEEEEEEEEEEES DUDE

[@Tjadster2002]

Hell yeah

[@404waffles]

with this remix it's more like King K. Rool Comes aboard on Guilty Gear

[@eduardoarielarruaprats2735]

The King is back

[@Jooble_Steak]

It really makes you think about the genius behind the original soundtrack and the musicians who wrote and composed it.

[@rogue-like4life]

David Wise was in the zone when making the first two OSTs.

[@TheSuckerOfTheWorld]

For real. That fade between acoustic and electric is just *chef's kiss*

[@crcoghill]

Vote King K. Rool for Smash 4!

[@HaxHaunter]

and they should add this guy cover in smash lol

[@Kaydje]

crcoghill he's owned by Rare unfortunately.

[@crcoghill]

oh really Cagedand Enraged if that's so~ how is he and the Krimlings in Smash bros 4 as enemies and trophies and how is K. Rool in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (2007), DK: Jungle Climber (2007), DK: King of Swing (2005) and Mario Super Sluggers (2008), even though Rare was bought in 2002? because, as i read here: "The trademarks of the characters from the games that Rare made for Nintendo consoles, such as Conker of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Banjo of the Banjo-Kazooie series, were retained by Rare, whereas intellectual properties created by Nintendo, such as Donkey Kong and Star Fox, were retained by Nintendo." so yes, Nintendo owns ALL THE KONGS AND KRIMLINGS, INCLUDING K. ROOL HIMSELF!

[@Kaydje]

crcoghill Huh. I wonder why they didn't put Kremlings in the new DKC games.

[@crcoghill]

some think because the creators of those games, Retro Studios, don't want to compare themselves to Rare. but again, K. Rool and his minions are owned by Nintendo since all the characters Nintendo made with Rare belong to them. all the character Rare made themselves, Conker and Banjo, belong to microsoft.

Kick ass rendition. These games always had the best music. You definitely did this song justice with this.

[@TheDoomMaster]

I've seen plenty of metal remixes of Gangplank Galleon, and I think this one comes out on top.

[@bobbq8380]

Here after news King K. Rool is joining Smash Bros finally 😎

[@superspeedbros]

And now, just for the heck of it, here are some King K. Rool quotes from the cartoon: "Klump! Didn't I say no news, no calls! _No tyranny until tommorow?!_ " "You took a wrong turn the day you were born, you lunkhead piece of wasted brain mass!" "They think we are participating in the ceasefire, but instead, we're going to be sneaky." "Lets see. I'm cooking. There's the pot. MAYBE I WANTED IT IN THE POT!" "This is my finest hour!" "The PLAN plan, you hopeless, hot-rodding hairball is *_THIS!!!_* " _"Lookie here, lookie here, look what I got! Don't think I won't let little Diddy drop!"_ "All I wanted was a simple banana on a string, but oh no! Give me that before you hurt yourself!" "Listen, you little weirdo! Start jamming, or the next epic wave you catch, will be in the sewers of my dungeon!!" "Of course... knowledge is power, and knowledge comes from books. And if that device can transfer knowledge... KLUMP! I need that machine!" *_"WHY NOOOOOOOT?!!"_*

[@DanielKieft-ju3ek]

Gives you goosebumps

[@matthewstorkson7889]

I like that it starts acoustic and progresses to metal.

[@LeoLarrosa1987]

I don’t know what’s more impressive. The song or the way you sit with the acoustic!

[@Zakentos]

This needs a lot more than 70k views. Even if Donkey Kong is one of the less popular Nintendo Heros, the King K Rool Battle Song was one of my favorites for ages and you have remastered it into an excellent piece. Bravo sir. Again I gotta get the word out on this. Spectacular Job

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

Bruh DK is one of Nintendo's most popular franchises and has the best games. Tropical Freeze is a masterpiece.

[@rundownaxe]

7 years later it's got one million.

[@leogames3965]

There is a monstrous energy, the same vibe as Goku turns into SSJ

[@ineedbootlacestobeready1576]

I wish k rool returns in the main line DK series. This theme infers that he can be quite the bad guy.

[@omegafreddy12]

You perform the greatest game covers in existence- Accurate and clean. Superbly executed and doesn't strain from the song too much. Every instrument used seems to be used for no less than perfection. GREAT job my friend you've earned a sub!

[@Pathos312]

This is one of the coolest covers I have ever heard. I love this a lot and it's funny because I was watching an AVGN episode and had heard the original playing and then I had come across this.

[@marvinthemaniacaldancingap3291]

You're damn right he did, his acoustic guitar cover at the beginning sounded more like a mandolin though. But he REALLY kicked ass with his electric rock & roll cover that came along immediately after.

[@DoomFinger511]

That was bad-ass. I was digging the 7-string guitar. But it was missing something... it needed more cowbell.

[@FlutterGuy98]

It isn't cure, it's "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!".

[@MetaHog122]

swwwegamelover guess what? im on fire. and the only put it out.. is more cowbell, is that not what you meant

[@FlutterGuy98]

Well, I was correcting him.

[@MannulusPallidus]

Good tonal choices overall. The two different guitars on the doubled parts makes them occupy different enough frequency spectrums that you don't lose nuance. Excellent transcription to every instrument, and the classical at the beginning is priceless. A+

[@BingBangPoe]

After the K. Rool announcement for Smash Ultimate I've been hearing every single remix of Gangplank Galleon I can. *PURE HYPE*

best metal cover of this I've heard hands down. 9 out of 10 youtube guitar channels need to learn making a great sounding metal version of a song is more than just cranking the gain and speedpicking the melody as fast as you can.

OBJECTION Some themes are meant to be emotional. And the fact that they are emotional are what make them special. Adding rock to a theme like that wouldn't necessarily make that better. But hey, that's just my opinion. And I respect yours.
