Duke Nukem Forever Theme Cover (Hard Rock)

[@PsychicSploob]

Badass dude. Can't believe it took me 10 years to find this gem lol

[@GoldKingsMan]

Ya only found it now.

[@ppepa572]

I've listened to and loved many covers and remixes of this song and yours is truly one of the best! Very well done brotha

[@Gigglepitlord7]

Finally success, I heard this forever ago, and I have seriously looked. I probably gone through 100 versions. Its about damn time I found it.

[@UnicornPow3r]

Hah! I love this comment! Thanks a bunch for the nice words, man. There might be a download-link on my soundcloud. Shoot me a youtube-message and I will give it to you! :)

[@MegaDiablosrojos]

Intros that is a nacional crime to skip, every time i play this gem on my 360 i always watch the entier of the intro scene

[@drjones8176]

Americas national anthem in steel balls we trust baby

[@commissarkordoshky219]

you, sir, deserve more views.

[@cringeworthington3673]

hell yeah I love it

[@Gigglepitlord7]

Awesome work, best version, you did an awesome job, also did a sweet job on make it your own and original.

[@Skeletorium]

I'm currently working on a cover of Grabbag and what you're saying is pretty true. I didn't want to play the same theme everyone else is playing, I'm trying to add some new things, new drum patterns, Guitar riffs, solo's and so far I think I've done it but it is hard to step out of Megadeth's shadow. They laid the foundation that's been remixed and added onto hundreds of times. I dunno.

[@urzi1849]

Will you make another one for the 10th anniversary of this comment?😅

[@Skeletorium]

@@urzi1849 I actually made another cover during Covid when the world shut down XD I released it outside of this project, not nearly as rocking as this one but I wanted it to be different. Funny thing you ask that though, I've been on a "Grabbag" kick for the last 2 weeks and am currently upgrading my recording equipment. I wanted to do a 3rd Grabbag cover to test out the new equipment once it all gets setup lol Maybe I'll just make Grabbag covers for the rest of my life

[@OpenMawProductions]

@OpenMawProductions Sorry, I meant HAIL the kings return. I should have the crap beat out of me for that typo.

[@OpenMawProductions]

Well I dissagrew with the history you present there. The version Megadeth did was actually an accidental cover of a cover. The version they were sent to base their work off of was not Lee Jackon's. It was James Grote's version done for the DNF 1998 trailer. They sent that one off to Megadeth and they rendered a verison following that one. So really.The best place to start is the original Lee Jackson version. The version heard particularly on the atomic edition CD deserves more attention.

[@CodyJustGotPwned]

Welcome to my favorites, where 'ya been?

[@BeefKrieger320]

respect its Awesome :D

[@FarazP]

Loved it.

[@UnicornPow3r]

@OpenMawProductions HAH! Yeah I was reading the comment in my mail and wasn't sure if you were trolling or not :p I used Fraps to capture it. Dunno why it hitches for you, got perfect 30 fps on the highest graphical settings, so that might be it, that it creates too much of a load on your computer to record and play at the same time..? I also record it to a separate harddrive then the game is run from, no idea if that helps or not, but might be worth mentioning!

[@GoldKingsMan]

Wow!

[@Skatino69]

Love this so muchhh

[@luisantonioparedesbrito6944]

Great video my friend saludos desde México

[@skikkiify]

COME GET SOME

[@dol516]

This is fucking awesome!

[@IntelGeek17]

SO, SO GOOD! :D :D

[@enhanced77]

IT'S FUCKING GOOD !!!

[@Gigglepitlord7]

After extensively searching and listening to differant versions and covers of THE DUKE NUKEM THEME I still conclude that hands down, this is if not the best, amoung the greatest versions. Instead of that secondary guitar though should have used the Megadeaths Version secondary guitar. And maybe a few badass Duke Quotes. Come get some. Im not gonna fight you im gonna kick your ass. Hail to the King baby at the end.

[@Gigglepitlord7]

And finish the quote in the beginning, Wait are you waiting for, Christmas? We meet again, minus the doctor Jones part. Oh, add a better and clears Gun Cocking sound. Then you have the greatest version. And yeah I know you used some of the quotes I said but spread them out maybe even use certains more than once but dont over due it.

[@Gigglepitlord7]

+Lance Doggit One la see t thought, slip in a couple of like big Church type bells or a sick, deep sound or gothic-ish type sounding pipe organ.

[@skubaniedz]

awesome 3.00

[@boshman11]

oh yeahs

[@Kedzee01]

Listening to this while eating my protein bar.

[@andrewhunt7328]

Now you have a body that even the incredible hulk would be jealous of

[@gonemadz8113]

Duke Nukem is the left over shit that Chuck Norris had on a bad taco day.

[@LuxCirilo]

I didn't know you played this song also

[@crazyl8489]

Why isn't this game a fucking movie yet

[@supermorph]

they would cheese it up methinks, although I reckon if it was marvel or dc'ized it would make for a great movie but would be best in a theme like Deadpool humor

[@lylewilliams9613]

This should have been the theme to duke nukem forever

[@NetMoverSitan]

+Lyle Williams The music was the least of that game's problems...

[@lylewilliams9613]

I love this game

[@NetMoverSitan]

Lyle Williams You must love Call of DLC as well.

[@Skatino69]

+NetMoverSitan If you are poor, don't buy a pc.

[@NetMoverSitan]

Faustin Vaillant I have a pc, the game is a prime example of what happens when you stick it in development hell for a few years, give it to someone else and then they rush it and DON'T get me started on "sequel factories".

[@ScanningTheAirwaves]

This is very much tailored after Megadeth's cover. VERY MUCH.

[@AlmestrandMusic]

Scanning The Airwaves this statement is true. also went for the original grabbag version.

[@ScanningTheAirwaves]

Job well done. It's a great cover.

[@OpenMawProductions]

What capture program did you use to grab the footage? Fraps wont let me record without hitching inconsistantly. This is excellent for the record. Fail the kings return! And an awesome track. Love the bit of retro sound you have at the end there too, that's great.

[@Komenja17]

This sounds like a remix of the Megadeth cover with added effects.

[@MrBulletreaper117]

Duke Nukem forever wasn't really all that bad imo, aside from the half hour load screens that is...

[@DevilMaster]

Would you upload a version of it without Dukespeak?

[@SirRorschachJack]

+DevilMaster but Duke "speak" is what makes it awesome! Hail to the King, baby!

[@Gigglepitlord7]

Is there a downloadable link for this song? I would really roll around town bumping this.

[@Gigglepitlord7]

Shit, the finally music fades quiet back ground and you the pig cops say, we got you now Nukem and we're gonna fry your ass. And Duke responds with Im not gonna fight ya, im gonna kick your ass. And music comes back intense maybe even a bit faster or slower for one last round, and the end Hail to the King.

[@MrMeanyeti]

you are EPIC!didnt you write this?

[@Skeletorium]

I don't disagree with any of that, I was aware of that too but what I'm saying is, Megadeth did the very first commercial (Keyword) cover that was full band, non midi oriented. They basically recomposed the theme entirely, which has now become almost like a reference guide to other musicians who are creating covers. And by Commercial I mean Very well known, I loved Grote's Version but compared to Megadeth it's a very unknown cover. By the way... /watch?v=ATZN_AAve28 (

[@LuxCirilo]

I always say that...

[@UnicornPow3r]

I played it myself!

[@Ill-Be-Adam]

Would it be ok if I sampled like 4 seconds of this for my intro? I'm updating my KZbin channel and this would be perfect! (you would of course be credited if you wanted in the outtro :-)

[@AlmestrandMusic]

Dren Orter Of course! I'll be sure to check it out :)

[@Ill-Be-Adam]

Kristoffer Almestrand I'm just mocking up prototypes I'll let you know as soon as I've settled on one, seriously thanx man :-)

[@Ill-Be-Adam]

Ok I know this was 11 months ago but I just got around to re-branding the channel and I have sampled this in the intro for the pilot episode and only just realised I forgot to credit you but I will put it in the description and I definitely will credit you in the outtro in future episodes but obviously only if you are still ok with me using it. Thanx again man :-)

[@Doomsdayman]

Duke is still Duke no mather how bad the game was Duke IS KING

[@LuxCirilo]

IRONSTIJNMAN, you wrong fool, it is hardrock, if it were metal it would suck and not rock, and everyone knows Duke Nukem Rocks.

[@supermorph]

[@ironstijnman]

No hardrock Its Mothafucking Metal

[@ИванНачкин-ш1я]
