Mario Kart 8 Main Theme

[@KevinDePreeMusic]

I would love to do another cover like this if there is enough interest in the idea. If you’re interested or know someone who may be interested please tag them and me in a comment. -Kevin

[@BenSchubert1995]

How about Escape from the City from Sonic Adventure 2.

[@Bee77]

please consider piranha plant pipleline from mariokart tour, we never got a live band remake for mariokart 8!

[@PRO_VGM]

Definitely this is insane! did you arrange it yourself?

[@KevinDePreeMusic]

@@PRO_VGM I found a partial arrangement online and one of the brass players arranged the horns for the road map the rhythm section had laid out first using the original track as a guide. The improv at the end was completely improvised one person at a time, trimming out some parts here and there so it made sense musically.

@@KevinDePreeMusic you have a new subscriber and my respect also i'm going to share the video on discord if thats ok

this is the best cover of this opening theme. Really love you guys work here. It's phenomenal!

[@KevinDePreeMusic]

Thanks! Please share or tag with a few friends. It would be nice to get it into the KZbin jet stream.

[@EndermanPierce]

This is insane! It sounds like an actual official song I would hear in a Mario musical, I have no clue why this isn’t more popular. Really great job!

[@Existensmaximum]

Absolutely mind-blowingly good. Super impressed by the bassist!

[@TheNimanator]

Would absolutely have loved an encore of the main part at the end! VERY strong cover of this song and I'm so glad SOMEONE finally did it with a full ensemble!

Nintendo when Mario kart 9: let's copy mk8 theme but have it slightly different.

[@gt-og]

Man do I love this!!!

[@DatzSour]

Dolphin Shoals from MK8 next!

[@BaoredGanyu]

this is actually amazing, and that slap bass solo at the start is spot on, the only problem with this is that the synthesiser is too quiet and the drums are a bit too loud, but everything else is perfect! could you try doing a live version of the Wuhu Island theme??

[@KevinDePreeMusic]

Good point on the drums synth mix. It was tricky getting everything sitting together with the remote recording from various devices.

[@diehardzeldafaneditz]

YOO Eric's last name is CROISSANT? So jealous. You guys really nailed this song

[@cueclue]

You're so FUNKY!!!

[@imaginationsquare]

It's almost better than the original not even kidding! The little changes in passing and stuff you made are just fabulous!

Ahh, mastapeece. In a way, I like this more than the original. So well done and criminally overlooked.
