Not when you're "purging the notes", right? What you know about "the notes"? You weren't born without an instrument. You've never had a string broken. You don't know what it's like to drum and shred and play JUST TO SURVIVE!

[@lugnut59]

I want a cover of that one song when you fight the Blade Wolf. I’m bad at the game but at least the song didn’t get dull after 50 deaths to the literal second boss in the game.

Everybody's talking about the song, but can we just take a second to appreciate the visuals? They're arguably the best visuals of GaMetal's done yet!

Absolutely. From the Bowser QTEs, to the Armstrong cosplay, to the backdrop in general, it's top notch.

pretty sure you need to use frets to play the guitar though

[@theEndermanMGS]

@@bingo2underscores There are fretless guitars and basses. Now somebody just needs to cover this song with them for the memes.

[@Baltaczar]

This cover wasn't crazy... it was batshit insane! your singing has improved a lot and standing here, I realize that we still don't have a single cover of the hot wind blowing on spotify

[@Parapsyche]

Underappreciated detail; tuning the title lyric to the melody of "beneath the blood-stained sand" was an awesome move. Those are some tricky notes to carry, too, nicely done on the vocal performance! And Bowser Raiden vs Dark Bowser Armstrong puppet fight was the film we never knew we wanted to accompany it.

[@birdofterror6628]

3:06 how you remixed the solo from "Blood Stained Sand" into "It has to be this way" was CHILL inducing. Expert work.

[@TheHarDeOne]

Jonny could've just sang the song. He could've just came out, sang the song and yelled Nanomachines at us, and no one would've complained. But the extra effort put into this with the puppets and the suit, the partial fades between guitar and vocal shots, and excessive use of animated fire footage for the background made this video a masterpiece!

[@BudofSharon]

💜

[@SABlueAngryBlur]

What many people consider the best final boss theme is finally covered by Johnny. Simply amazing cover.

[@internetguy7319]

The best final boss theme is Dialga's Fight to the Finish

God tier! The vocals, the plushies, the video description, the suit, and most importantly the instruments! Holy hell Jonny this cover is amazing!

[@DarkMarxSoul]

You have the same vocal style as Jamie Christopherson so this was bound to be incredible. This is literally a perfect cover that nails the atmosphere and intensity of the original and pushes it that little bit farther, just like it always needed.

[@mintagenart]

GaMetal's covers are the best. Maybe it's because they never favor one instrument too strong, cuz he can do everything. Guitars are awesome, the drums, the bass are awesome, and my God. The vocals. There needs to be more OSTs with vocals so we can hear this man's voice more.

[@samuelchiloyan9171]

This cover is awesome. Its the only cover that captures why I enjoy the original. There is a certain way the voices are layered on "realize" and similar parts that makes it sound so epic.

[@imptwins]

oh my god i lost it at the outfit. Extremely funny, but also, you're actually buff enough to nail the look pretty well lmao. Awesome cover Jonny! Really killed it with both the double kick and that extra solo in there.

[@whereismrclean6783]

"My source is that I made it the fuck up" Fantastic cover! After the Stains of Time cover, I really wanted to see this song be done, and you handled it perfectly! The Bowser vs Dark Bowser fight replicating Raiden Vs. Armstrong, the fact that you were dressed as Armstrong himself, the vocals and instrumental, it was a fantastic cover for the fantastically memetic song. As for requests, I'd like to see another memetic song from a hack n' slash game: Bury the Light from DMC5.

[@silentib1534]
