Krazoa Palace Star Fox Adventures Guitar Cover

STAIRFAX TEMPARATURES
I can't be the only one who liked this game?.. right? This game gets marked as the black sheep of the Star Fox series, and I can see why. It takes a very different approach compared to it's predecessors, and a lot of people didn't like it. I get it. However, I feel like (even with my nostalgia glasses off) this game is a hidden gem on the GameCube. It's a really cool, fun and atmospheric adventure game, and in my opinion, gets a lot of undeserved hate. The music is what brings me back big time. This track in particular is fucking amazing. It didn't come as a shock to me when I found out David Wise did the OST for this game as he is very skilled with atmospheric music.
So I decided to completely redo all of my tones (except drums), and I think it payed off. This track is very atmospheric and it was a scary approach. I'm not too confident with synths; strings and choirs is not my speciality, but it's nice to get some practice! It was fun balancing the heavy and the softer parts of the arrangement, and I think it turned out okay! I also did some mixing research since last time, and gave the compression some slack in this one. Let me know if the overall sound sounds better!
If everything goes to plan there should be a new cover out same time next week! It's not a very complicated cover, but a song I've wanted to do for a little while.
^ Edit: Oh shit, it's Zelda month! Nevermind, it's time to get my finger out of my ass and start doing some Zelda; my favorite game series, as well as it's music. This'll be fun!
Thanks for watching! Feel free to leave feedback :)

I did a cover of "Meteo" over here: ➤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnXLoWpnepKfpLs

[@gabocarina96]

Omg! That hit me right in the childhood! :'D The nostalgia is soooo strong!!! I absolutely love it dude! This has to be my favorite from you now! ^^ Solid cover of that amazing song! :)

[@HenrikRudi]

+gabocarina96 I'm glad someone else shares my nostalgia! Thank you, appreciate it :)

[@gabocarina96]

No problem dude! Now if you will excuse me... I need to go play that game again! ;)

[@Toki_Akuma]

iv completed this game lots of times... I love the game and it's music.. so I love this music.. grate Job.. :)

[@kitsujitsu]

I keep coming back to this... it is just so good!

[@HenrikRudi]

Thanks, I appreciate that!! :)

[@ZantofDarkness]

Wow, was not expecting a cover from this game and I'm happy you gave it some love. Honestly some tracks from Star Fox Assault would be great as that game has imo the best OST in the series. Great work on this one. :D

[@HenrikRudi]

+ZantofDarkness Dude, SFA is very underrated. I didn't see a single cover of this song so someone had to do it, haha.

[@ZantofDarkness]

rankarusu I agree, its the game that I often refer to when talking about games that arent traditional to their series but are still very good (Four Swords Adventures is another). I think a lot of people got put off of it cos of Jontron (his only bad review imo). I admit that the soundtrack I dont remember that much but this was still and awesome cover especially for probably the first one. But year Assault has some amazing tracks too so I recommend having a listen to them and maybe considering covering them at some point :)

[@DEASTESMusic]

Say what you want about the game, but this song was a freaking masterpiece. Amazing cover

[@Vulpine_King]

This is underrated, I still love this game up til now as well. imo all the soundtracks are great.

[@dwaynesmith8300]

Please do more from this game!!! This was so good!!

[@DacheFox8]

Truly an amazing performance you did here of this track! It makes me feel if it could come as a bit of a final Boss fight music for this game by how hard the guitar goes here. I think having a rock feel of this track adapt in a final Boss for this game would be super badass to listen for a track ngl.

[@markszobonya9252]

I came here looking for the vid where this theme is just looped on end while I do my homework. Found this instead. Not disappointed in the slightest. \m/

[@benjaminstenke9716]

i enjoy this with a glas of the finest whiskey in my hand, sitting on my noble arms chair to admire the fine art of crafting this.

[@haldorasheim]

lovin the combination of the "heavy sound" and the acoustic parts! :)

[@OniLink147]

It has been somewhere around 10 years since I last played this game, but this cover brought me right back.

[@HenrikRudi]

That's awesome! Thanks for listening :D

[@kitsujitsu]

[@HenrikRudi]

I sure hope my newer ones have improved in quality from this one, haha. Thank you!

[@spielewoelfchen]

rankarusu What are you talking about?! I'm so in love with this cover, and I don't even know it that long... xD But I know it long enough to say: it is awesome, and I can feel, that this is going to be the song that I'll be listening to while I'm working on my Krystal Cosplay from now on. But seriously, your work is amazing, this one, as such as your others. Keep going!

[@rockazel]

Hey bro, this is so good !!!! keep going

[@hugoyuugo1300]

OMG Great job, guy!! I was very surprised by the number of views though... Far too low because your video deserves far much better! Please share the video!! This guy deserves to be known! This video is quite underrated! I expected it to be seen thousands of times but not yet! Make it happen!

[@TinNovaKiin]

I love it, big fan of StarFox here, nice mix of heavy and soft sounds !

[@Zarinah]

Amazing job! I definitely liked your mix of acoustic leads and metal, it worked really well :) Definitely your best cover by far, all the work you put into it was worth it!

[@HenrikRudi]

+69guitarchick I'm glad it worked out as it looked really grim for a while, haha. Thank you! :)

[@CommissarFoxMcCloud2]

Criminally underrated

[@AdmiralZoda]

the rock/metal kinda thing that plays on the great fox would be awesome! when slippy crushes the audio

[@lackey2954]

Amazing cover man! Great job! :D

[@guitarded222]

That was solid!

[@Hells6bells]

This is insanely good! 2:20 to 2:35 is so musical! I don't know how you managed to do it, but the interplay between the acoustic and the metal works so well. I may need to ask you for tips on how to make that sound awesome. Great work. Subbed! ^_^

[@HenrikRudi]

+Hells6bells That's a huge compliment, thank you! :D

[@BEVNAP]
