The epic level of guitar mastering is so strong that even after 16 years, this guy can't be defeated.

[@ElAssoWipe-o]

I still remember when I first saw this in 2006. It's good to reunite with such a good memory.

[@TommySasaki]

Among the Double Dragon metal version remixes, your performance is the best in the world.

[@bathory5026]

It's not a remix, it's a cover

[@B0RN2DIEinaGutt3R]

Agree

[@bathory5026]

This is one of the first videos I saw on KZbin. I can't believe it's been 18 years! 😮

[@zusanli251]

Life moves pretty quick. You don't stop and look around once on a while, you could miss it

[@bathory5026]

@@zusanli251 It's crazy. I'm now mad at myself for not having done more

[@dulaylikesgulay6003]

Man you are what inspired me to begin playing guitar

[@VafaMottahedin]

Dude I just keep watching this over and over. I don't know how many times I've watched it now.

[@PeterMasalski93]

1:28 made me cry and brought me back to that time in the 90's sitting in my living room and trying to beat this game!

[@clockwork204]

Oh man, finally found this. This is like my first experience with awesome retro video game music covers.

[@scottdalton1274]

Haven’t heard this in a few years. Still awesome all this time later.

[@waxy1277]

The fact that over 10 years later i can come back and remember this is testament of this videos greatness.

[@areasevenpro]

I lost all my quarters just from watching this video.

[@Rudyauto]

areasevenpro Two years later and your comment still wins!

[@qweden]

4 Years Later. Still Wins

[@Whitechapelchap]

Good one, lol

[@alexishoulez3572]

I've been listening to this since the year it was uploaded, it's so epic !

[@skrewster]

00:42-00:53, My god, instant shivers down the spine.

[@gabrielhowardMKE]

Same here!!

[@mxpwr4003]

The NES was a machine secretely sponsored by the metal music industry to make us addicts at an early age :P ! Great cover !!

[@klaas1]

The best cover!

[@Loscar1983]

I was so into KZbin during 2007 dealing with a breakup and finding this gem helped so much.

[@lalmuansangakhawlhring677]

2021. Still listening

[@theshapeexists]

This is one of the first and best KZbin videos I've ever seen. Came back after many years and glad to have found it again

[@deeznuts78]

That was pretty badass. Thanks for that.

[@thiago.eugenio]

16years later, and I'm here! Congrats, dude!

[@RealmsofPixelation]

80s > all other decades

[@maqrux]

This is pure extacy coming back to such a brilliant cover of this song, I grew up with this game GODDAMN IT!!!

[@vertexguy]

Actually I've played at 2 locations now, but yeah, if you want to see me live, go to the official VGl site forums and tell them you want to see me in more shows.

[@SkyfighterZX]

This is gotta be one of the oldest videos i've seen on youtube, posted 17 years ago, crazy! Such a good cover too! Still holds up

[@seang9450]

u sir are a monster and/or a beast

[@dvsdez]

Nice work. These Double Dragon songs are great

[@GeoAnas]

Excellent ! Awesome !

[@retroman056]

[@sevantaheri4831]

That sustained vibrato at 2:12 is amazing...even after all these years.

[@niceprince]

Still the best one up I think

[@FuriousCanon]

This just gets better each time I see it. Just incredible.

[@DanDark]

I need to go out and fight people in the street with this music!!!

[@Frostylyxxx]

the guitar playing is great but I'm liking the drum backing tracks with the double bass flares in the perfect spot. Great arrangement on this song

[@faelwin]

eargasm

[@cwolf208]

Still come back to these every so often.

[@florlozano7380]

2019??

[@BeardedBetts]

dang...thats awesome. i remember playing so many hours of that game in my basement back in the day. Great talent.

[@toyfactory]

we're not worthy! we're not worthy! holy shit dude that is AWESOME. I saw your Video Games Live vids and I was blown away. This is even more insanely cool. Great job!

[@imkerrusin]

That's pretty slick and sick man. I wish I could do that. Love the Billy Sprite head bangin to the track too! Keep it up!

[@BreastsInspector]

This never gets old. I find myself often returning to listen to this more often than the original from the game itself, lol.

[@cesarksun]

I played doubledragon when i was 6... you make me cry man, awesome!, keep the good work.

[@vertexguy]

@jlmcsm My only guess as to what you may be commenting on here is that I have an extended end note from the ending solo arpeggio. You hear the leads playing over the top when the melody kicks in, and then I join back in. If that's it the answer is simple. I often fill in gaps like that with leads contained in my backing track so the end result sounds complete as I originally intended.

[@Ragnoids]

That's probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@zerog2]

Really good... I have enjoyed Double Dragon all these years and that my friend was a kick ass song!

[@dachief69]

awesome job man. i sure hope double dragon makes a comeback with a kick ass video game soon. with music of this calibre

[@hermitgamer]

this is by far the best M1 DD cover I ever heard in my long gaming life, big ups to your work vertexguy. ^_^

[@rickatoni]

2021 is the year of Vertexguy!

[@exitar33]

Man. This rendition is awesome...brings back great memories.

[@briancornielle2991]

The best cover ever since 2006

[@PartyQuest]

ten years and a half and still listening to this piece!

[@jeremyfannon7922]

Awesome bro!! Wish I knew how to play guitar :/

[@DeanWhipper]

The intro with the roller door, holy shit that cracked me up. GG son

[@Heavymetalvideogamer]

I truly love this. This was one of my favorite games growing up. You did a killer job, and brought back alot of memories. Eternal Hails!

[@MonkAnji84]

Rock on Billy!! Sweet tune. Truly beautiful

[@SirFosterMusic]

I have always been obsessed with the music from this game, and I found your video while I was searching for the theme music so that I could basically do the same thing you're doing, except on keyboards. You're amazing!! NES and Super NES games had the best music. I subscribed and I truly enjoyed the video. Keep it up!

[@lancecryor]

I can't believe I missed this all this time. AMAZING STUFF MAN!!!

[@shadlad91]

Again awesome ,and nice touch with the dude from double dragon rocking out lol.Good stuff.

[@Slonie]

I had always figured that Double Dragon Mission 1 was the first game song to explicitly contain a solo (however terrible it sounded on the arcade synths), so it's F'ckin rad to see somebody of such awesome skills do it justice. And beyond. Unbelievable!

[@MezJ113]

Bonus point for sweet garage opening effect!

[@Papierentaart]

I stumbled upon it by random! Good to see some people still enjoying the classics and play it on guitar! Awesome sound, nice distortion sound, love it

[@krimsonden4320]

That picking from 1:47 to 1:50 was amazing dude nice work! The whole vid awesome keep playing my dude!

[@ProductionLG]

I am speachless...greetings from Bosnia man, thank a lot for bringing back god old memories !

[@WegnerTheDeftones]

The solo FLOORS me every time!!!!!!

[@warrengonline]

Chris YOU are the man! Awesome! This is HD music for HD games!

[@TeamCavalier]

Awesome. I remembered this song and many others by heart all my life and never got around to trying to transcribe them to guitar. I'm glad someone did because I always knew this would make an ass kicking guitar solo. You did not disappoint. Thanks!

[@NEKROCLAUS]

double dragon always rocked. so has this guy

[@jrobforever]

Dude, that opening was awesome!

[@DuendeBoss]

This track pwn everywhere, Vertexguy is GOD.

[@KyosukeShigeru]

Wicked! Great video editing as well, great way to kick things off with in-game graphics that match up to when the actual music begins.

[@TommyHOLLA]

one of my favorite tracks from an NES game, FUCKING AWESOME man good job!

[@theseasidepunk]

Holy Shit. I LOVE it. Finally someone who can actually play, your trills and ascending runs are DOPE. Great Job A++

[@biggibby54]

that's pretty good bro! And that little Jimmy Lee during the solo was hilarious!!

[@Lightstormer]

Can't get enough of this tune! Epic work. 5/5 stars.

[@vertexguy]

I stated in the description that I'm playing to a backing track that I previously recorded. I'm not seeing any missed notes at 1:50 though. The 4 lead notes played before I join back in from the solo are in my backing track.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

You are good at this and you deserve the praise.

[@AceAileron]

I think if Vertexguy and Likfisken got together and played Double Dragon BGM, the world might explode due to their sheer awesomeness.

[@esara6]

the guitar melosy's and the rythem's are Awsome including the delay's effect's

[@Skuidel]

1:26 to 1:37 is my favorite part. Very nice job on this one!

[@JKT84]

awesome tone and playing

[@jujusofine317]

SICK! This brings back great memories

[@billytehbob]

HOLY AMAZEBALLS!! That was Spectacular!

[@rick4691]

[@BeastGamingHD]

you sir have earned my subscription and I only select the best of the best.

[@zeeeeeman]

Phat sound! Love that backing track too.

[@gedtag]

good job! I always loved the double dragon series

[@Moe_Fogerty]

I remember when this game came out on the NES. They advertised it as "Two Player Double Dragon" and led you to believe it was "Two Player Simultaneous"....we were so pissed when we found out it wasn't. This video takes some of the sting out.....decades later.

[@Guy9998]

Awesome job man! For me this was the golden age of gaming.

[@FoxRain]

That was really cool!! My favorite part of the song happened to be when Billy came out, I wanted to see someone play that and guitar. Thanks!

[@chrisdoran3673]

Man that was phenomenal bro! Would love to see more of your covers now 😁😁

[@OmegaWarrior]

I listen to a LOT of VG music covers on KZbin...this is definitely some Top-Tier shit! Play it Loud, vertexguy!

[@PartyQuest]

i still freaking love it! great workout music!
