Green Hill Zone Metal/Rock Remix/Cover (Sonic the Hedgehog)

[@thomasweeden2683]

Absolutely magical.

[@ToxicxEternity]

That movement beginning at 1:37. so angelic and pretty sounding then right into a very tasty solo. great work man

[@RaycerkGamer]

Wow, I will be honest, the best green hill zone cover what I listened

[@beardface9956]

Absolutely! Nothing else I've heard has come even close to this.

[@JeromeProductions]

Good honesty

[@silverstorm323]

This may be the best version of Green Hill Zone I have ever heard. Thank you so much for making this dude.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

silverstorm323 Thanks for checking it out!

[@VerumTheSuccessor]

this deserves more views

[@Dagfinn0702]

This is really good. You sure have improved since your first videos. Be careful not to strech the same melody over and over again playing it several times in a row. That is why I really like that you add your own guitar solo in the middle. Variation is good. It is still better to play short and exiting than long and boring, but you do it perfect though. Keep rocking!

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Thanks, man! It's good to hear from you, again.

[@AnandRavi]

Awesome as always dude! The harmonics in the solo was a really nice touch!

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Thanks, man. The harmonics are the only things I got going for me. haha

[@BeatgamesVGMtribute]

Loved your version man, the fade in guitar sounds great and I enjoyed the solo also. Congratulations.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Thanks, Alex! The volume peddle is fun to mess with.

[@slander46x26]

Wow, man. You've really outdone yourself. You get better and better my heads gonna explode

[@bluestorm017]

That solo was beast! Nice job

[@Cquickz1998]

one of the best renditions of this song I've heard. amazing work! those synths sounds really good with the guitar.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

I'm glad :) Synths are difficult for me because I try very hard to avoid sounding 80's haha

[@MrEzio89]

your covers would be amazing, if amazing could describe how perfect they all sound

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Domo arigato, me amigo!

[@ChristianRichardson]

Your videos blow me away every damn time, and this is no exception. Great work.

[@newscream5613]

I love the chugging rhythm guitars!

[@DarkMetalLink]

AWESOME, MAN!!! i love this song! you totally hit the right spot with this cover, congrats! Also, i kinda like the new yellowish lightning for the video, I don't know why i like it though xD

[@thisisasongaboutchipsandsa6132]

This is by far the best version i've ever heard. amazing job

[@ArnyUnderCover]

I really enjoyed listening to this. Amazing cover!!!

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Thanks a lot, man!

[@ShiroArctic]

This song works surprisingly well in metal. By the way, love your guitar. I have the Epiphone version of that.

[@oooo1177]

This will go down as a classic for me

[@Zarinah]

The solo was definitely my favorite part of this, it was great :)

[@94Stones]

Awesome work man! Is that a new camera or just way better lighting?

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

It's just better lighting. Don't worry, It's still the same crappy camera haha

[@GuitarGeek25]

Fantastic job! I absolutely loved the solos! :D

[@RichaadEB]

awesome work man, always a pleasure hearing from you. Nice taps ya got there

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Likewise, Rich

[@omarcantu8801]

2024 and it stills the best green hill cover

[@AugustLeafFilms]

Badass dude. Liked how you transitioned the parts with an angelic choral part in the middle, for me it gave a real harmonious 'free spirit' feel to it that captures Sonic games. Personally, what's why I have such a draw to your music is because it combines my two favorite music types, electric guitars and ethereal chanting - somehow you're stuff always has that and for me, that's my sound - can't do any better. Only criticism I felt like was in the solo at 2:32-33, it should have 'capped' and by that I mean, at that moment, transitioned with a note similar to the one at 2:48, and into the part at 2:36 rather than continued to go one more step lower with the last high E notes. That, or continued with the last high E notes, pulled off with a note similar to the one at 2:48 and into the part at 2:36.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

You can just go ahead and say the song sucks. I mean... its not like I care or whatever. I'm expendable, I suck... blah blah blah

[@AugustLeafFilms]

TheOnlyDeerAlive pssh whatevs you know your music is the only one for me... FamilyJules7x ain't got shit on you (4 realz)

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Andrew Liddell In all seriousness, I see what you mean about the solo. I have a bad habit of dragging things like that out. Your first suggestion would actually work quite well, although i'd have to come come up with 6 more seconds of solo to fill the empty gap and put it towards the end. But I think it would sound good.

[@AugustLeafFilms]

I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem coming up with something fitting given all the well-made stuff you've hammered out already. Wouldn't actively worry so much about dragging things out, usually I find artists cut their solos/materials too short when it gets to the good parts -- plus your harmonies and rifts all tie together and reinforce each really well so whatever 'excess' might be in there tends not to take away from the piece, and in fact, in songs like your Gerudo Valley (acoustic), compliments it very well. Looking forward to the next issue, All the best dude :)

[@Jess-I-Guess]

Topic of discussion seems to be the angelic sounds at 1:31. Myself, I find it is an interesting take, and giving music your own twist is part of the greatness of this, but I personally think something a bit more contrasting that you could hear the difference in notes with more would have been better. Maybe having less sustain or something, IDK. Love your solos though! And as a less mentioned thing, I like how your lead seem to be at a higher octave than other covers of this I've heard. Maybe it's just me...

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

I noticed that as well. Some GHZ cover's leads are an octave lower than what I did. Even though the original is an octave higher than that, but you can't really reach that with a guitar unless you used an octave peddle or something. I did use a lot sustain for the choir and I probably should've cut back on that. But whateva

[@Jess-I-Guess]

TheOnlyDeerAlive After reading my comment, it looks like I focused on my critique and didn't say enough, I love the entire thing! I'll offer little criticisms, but you are still one of my inspirations to learn guitar!

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Shadow Link Haha not at all. I really appreciate the feedback. I'm glad you like it, man!

[@HugoJunstrand]

It's great as always, but I'm going to be honest here, I don't quite think the angelic choir fits for this kind of tune, or more specifically the part at 1:31. The solo afterwards was really good, though.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Thanks, man. I appreciate the honesty. What do you think I should've done? Put synths in instead of the choir? or should I have just taken out that part completely

[@HugoJunstrand]

TheOnlyDeerAlive I think that really is dependent on what you have to work with based on what you can find, like what sort of instruments does your synth have? The most efficient, or atleast the most basic, instrument I usually go is with piano most of the time, but I think with Sonic maybe some sort of tropical element put into it like say brass or marimbas or any of the likes. Just some ideas to mess around with.

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Toxodentrail I appreciate it, man. My keyboard does have a lot of different settings and sounds, but i'm just a sucker for the choir haha. I definitely over use it and I need to explore some more

[@HugoJunstrand]

Guilty of the same here, man. Even I exploit the piano like crazy in almost every single piece ^^

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Toxodentrail wtf? The choir was angelic af. Why wouldn't he use it 😑???

[@Hells6bells]

High five! We both posted a Sonic cover on Feb 1st! :) Your solos are always the best man. I see that you're a Rush fan. 2:06 to 2:10 is totally a YYZ reference. Right? It sounds like the ending of the guitar solo in that song. Super tasty tapping sections and great harmonics as always. Cheers bro. :)

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

Hell yeah, man! Great minds think alike. Good catch on the YYZ bit. Yes, Rush is my favorite band. You can't actually see it, but to the left of me there's a big ass Rush poster hanging on the wall.

[@guitarsenseiz]

Just insanely awesome

[@adriandougherty1921]

Woo woo wow 😮 that is a good sounds like songs green hill zone

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[@joelgoncalves4341]

Dude I've always wanted to know the name of the sound you make with the piano. HELP

[@TheOnlyDeerAlive]

It's a female acapella setting with a crap ton of reverb and delay put on it. I assume you're talking about 1:31 - 1:43, right? haha

[@DannLink]

You're so fucking good

[@hylianexpected1171]

WAY PAST COOL!!! >:3
