Mega Man 1 - Piano Medley

[@vladpiranha]

Gabb's channel is a hidden treasure, just like Dr. Wily's Revenge on the Game Boy.

[@derekgeorgeandrews]

You bet. I have handfuls of money ready to throw at him on a patreon or ko fi but he just doesn't want it 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheMichaelJordanofGambling]

Agreed. I am completely surprised this channel hasn’t exploded yet in popularity.

[@Jaundice__]

For sure, let’s make sure more get to enjoy it. Like the videos and comment on then, he deserves it.

[@gutchos]

It's not possible to thank you enough for what you just did here! I'm since long time a big fan of your videogame transcriptions, they are so accurate and beautifully played by yourself. And not just that, but placing all the pieces from MM1 as a medley that flows so smoothly with all the key changes makes that an even more challenging task. I appreciate very much that you also share the scores of your masterful transcriptions for free, I'm excited for your next project!

[@GabbPiano]

I am very happy that you appreciate my transcriptions and greatly thank you for your faithful listening.

[@AlCamino23]

Stage select into elecman … WOW!! And the pause as megaman paused on the ladder . This is an absolute masterpiece !

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you! Yes I find that the theme of Stage Select goes well with that of Elec Man.

[@hannes8835]

The mega man series is such an amazing collection of games. The levels, the characters and especially the music. Nintendo and Sega really got some master musicians. Thank you so much, Gabb, for keeping this treasures alive.

[@masterblake9]

I found your Megaman 2 & 3 medleys only a couple months ago and I've listened to them both at least 10 times. Super happy to see this pop up!

[@GabbPiano]

\^_^/ ❤

[@gavin_bigred]

OMG the cut man theme is so awesome!!!!! Finally someone faithfully covering it in the same key. My biggest pet peeve is people changing the key of music in covers. The original key is always the best

[@GabbPiano]

Gavin Brown, thank you very much for those kind words. The Cut Man theme is one of the most difficult in the game to play on the piano if you want to keep all the voices at the original tempo. However, the key of A minor (that of the piece) is one of the simplest on the piano (few black keys). It seems to me that transposing this piece into another key would make it even more difficult.

[@BeadsArtBrasil]

You make me cry. Tears from Brazil. You're amazing!

[@GabbPiano]

Oh thank you!

[@TheOrkneyFaction]

Are your hands cybernetically enhanced by any chance? Awesome medley, and incredible playing. You Rock, man!

[@GabbPiano]

Thanks. ^^ I'm not Rockman but willingly uses his unifying music to contribute to peace in the world.

[@Bcutter]

Absolutely amazing medley. It seems you have also upped your arranging game (if that was even possible!). Your arrangements used to very closely capture the original songs with incredible clarity and virtuosity. Now I see you add a lot more of your own touch to the pieces, proving some amazing arrangement and even composing talent. This must be the best piano medley I have seen on KZbin. Perfect!

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you bcutter for this very valuable comment. I actually allowed myself some personal fancies on the repeat of my favorite themes as well as the ending. You have also surely noticed that I was inspired by your own version of Character Select, in particular in its modulation to the third which allowed me to continue with Cut Man in a coherent way. So I had to, for this reason and so many others, to mention your performance in the description. I hope we'll have the opportunity to hear you play again soon!

[@DJChaosD]

I thoroughly enjoyed your MegaMan 1-3 medleys. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am for you to do 4! My favorite of the classic series! 😍

[@GabbPiano]

It's planned, just like the 5th episode. :)

[@Плотник-ж6ы]

Маэстро, я много раз слушаю это произведение искусства! 😀🖐💪🏼👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@anthonyboschetti249]

Even Dr.W bowed to you

[@GabbPiano]

😄 He bowed to Mega Man. I was just passing by by chance.

[@SezerPank]

The piano music is beautiful, even the ending theme of Mega Man is 10x beautiful that almost made me cry in happiness.

[@Mario_Cloud]

I haven't played much of the original Mega Man, but I like the Guts Man and Cut Man songs. Your piano playing was of such high quality that I felt like I was in the world of Mega Man, it was like a dream come true. I have played and completed Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5, Mega Man 6, Mega Man 7, Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 games. I like the music of Mega Man 5. I like the songs of Gyroman, Gravity Man, Crystal Man, Wave Man, and Napalm Man. I haven't cleared Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man yet, but I like the songs. I also like the songs of Mr. Goemon and Mr. Goemon 2 on NES. For Super NES, I like Super Donkey Kong. I look forward to more of your wonderful piano playing.

[@random_idiot]

Beautiful video and channel. I have explored a lot of VGM piano covers and I haven't heard anyone who makes arrangements at this level of accuracy let alone perform them with the kind of crisp precision that you do. Even comparing this to the standalone uploads of the songs it's clear you practiced a lot to make everything even more smooth and clear for this video. I love MM2's but this is my favorite MM soundtrack, especially Bomb Man, Cut Man, and the ending theme, and you captured them all perfectly. Your personal additions to the songs are also tasteful and don't detract from the listening at all, which is more than can be said for most arrangers who take liberties. The gestures and faces you make while playing also add a nice subtle comedic flair to your videos, I love it. As a beginner (who will be trying to learn these for the next thousand years) I greatly appreciate the free sheet music and even more so the fact that there's pedal markings and fingerings. Ending on a selfish note, I would absolutely love it if you ever arranged any Touhou songs, you're one of the few people on KZbin who has the skill to actually pull it off. Maybe one of these tracks will pique your interest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIaUgoWDjaxoq6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmXZoXV3o6akmbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqK4lamKrtp3Z7c

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you for this nice comment full of compliments. I share your preferences on the Bomb Man and Cut Man themes, and you must have noticed that they have benefited from a little more advanced treatment than on the others. I have listened with interest to your suggested music. I didn't know them at all but I like their energy, especially the airy piano parts that emerge from them. Thanks for sharing.

[@random_idiot]

@@GabbPiano Indeed I did notice! As for Touhou music i'm glad you liked them, the piano parts are definitely a highlight. The composer ZUN loves to occasionally write stuff that might not even be physically playable without more than one piano so some songs might pose quite a challenge to arrange and play accurately. I could really post Touhou songs all day but i'll restrain myself and bombard you with just a couple more that I hope you enjoy. I would love to see you do one some day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2qQe3aeaZ6Bqdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaWWZpR8nsSaick kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDWY3ykfcSjfM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX3diWOXaZJshcU

[@wacojohnnydean1777]

Man this is awesome playing! I loved the Mega Man songs growing up in the NES era in the 80’s. I play piano as well but you’re on another level! Wow! I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you don’t miss a beat! Kudos to you buddy! 👍🏾

[@mohammedalqadeeri7156]

Why aren't you a super celebrity?! This is amazing

I think Gabb has the highest Like to View ratio of anyone on youtube. He deserves to maintain that ratio, but with his views increased a thousandfold.

You did this insanely well, bomb man theme is unbelievably good. Surprised you don't have more subscribers 😮

Yes, Bomb Man is my favorite Mega Man 1 theme. Thank you! :)

God damn dude you are quickly becoming one of my all time favorites

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you for so much recognition!!

[@robmichael8136]

I love the arrangement of Bombman. It's airy, beautiful, and flows so effortlessly. Well done sir.

[@GabbPiano]

It is my favorite theme from this game. 😊 Thank you Rob!

[@robmichael8136]

@@GabbPiano Your channel is criminally underrated. I don't know how you upset the algorithm overlords. My daughters love playing the piano and video game music. You're so talented and hit that sweet spot perfectly. Have you tried any of the "streets of rage 2" music by Yuzo Koshiro? Very unique, intricate, layered, and complex. I think you would enjoy it a lot.

Bravo... great job amazing work

[@Zstray17]

Omg you’re back doing MM1 now!! I often go back and have your MM2 compilation playing in the background. This music from all these games is very nostalgic sure, but it’s always amazed me how beautifully written they are and I’m so glad you recreate them. It actually bothers me for you that you don’t have more views. Your talent is incredible. I’m going through to like and comment on your videos, you deserve more.

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you so much, Zstray17!

[@gigaganon]

another complete game! J'ai hâte de voir ce que tu nous réserve pour la suite

[@Sm1thWessonAndMe]

I've been waiting for this one! Wow! What a payoff! Magnificent! 👏 👏 👏

[@gameplaybr1746]

Incredible work! I play a lot of megaman on my channel! I would love to play and listen to your piano!!!

[@UnNimois]

Les enchaînements sont géniaux ! C'est une nouvelle épopée saisissante qu'on peut écouter avec ravissement, et qui se conclut comme d'habitude par une belle victoire de Gabb ! (On sent bien que Bombman est ton chouchou 😅.)

[@GabbPiano]

Merci Nîmes-man ! Oui, il a eu droit à trois itérations différentes de son thème (dont certains motifs se retrouvent d'ailleurs dans d'autres mélodies du jeu). Remarque tout de même que Cut Man a également bénéficié d'une reprise personnalisée. ;)

[@andreasillustration]

Amazing playing!! :) Thank you for uploading!

[@chismiester1673]

Flawlessly played, brilliant technique. Keep up the great work!

[@amandawolf5513]

Omg how did I not notice you uploaded this Medley, I listen to your Mega Man 2 and 3 medleys all the time! They’re so incredibly faithful, thank you so much for this from a strong Mega Man fan💙 Also, just a genuine question, have you consider doing the ost for the X series as well? That would be amazing🙌🏼

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you Amanda for your valuable listening. I am not an expert on the X series, and unfamiliar with its music. Maybe one day I will have the will to delve into it. In the meantime, episodes 4 and 5 of the classic series will find their place here.

[@chroniquephilousophique9983]

Une merveille Gabb! Un bijou qui figure déja dans ma playlist!

[@GabbPiano]

Merciii !

[@Brothersoldiers]

A lo mejor sea solo poque megaman 1 fue mi primer juego de megaman.. Pero vaya que cada una de estas canciones me parecen fantaaticas! Un soundtrack muy infravalorado en mi opinión y uno de los mejores de todos los megaman clasicos con un aura muy original, de los fire man me parece la mejor!

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

This is Rock Man.

[@MusiqueauSoleil]

Une œuvre ! Merci, Maestro !!!

[@derekgeorgeandrews]

Hey I like how you shifted keys at the end of Elec man to go into Bomb man that was neat!

chapeau pour ta victoire contre Dr willy ! La mélodie d'élecman me fait carrément penser au refrain de la chanson de nicoletta "la musique", ceci dit je préfère la version élecman (peut etre car ca me rappel des souvenirs)

Also add the Phantasy Star 1-4 to your TODO list please. :)

[@GabbPiano]

There is already Phantasy Star Online on my TODO list. I'm less familiar with the Megadrive episodes.

[@DezorianGuy]

@@GabbPiano I would be forever in your debt. You will be positively surprised by the melodic quality. PSO took tons of melodies from the Classic MD series after all. No matter what you choose to do, youve become one of my favorite channels.

[@GabbPiano]

@@DezorianGuy Thank you for this valuable encouragement! I played Phantasy Star 2 a bit and recognized the intro theme that was used in PSO. I imagine that this is surely the case for other themes as well, indeed.

[@freezar8902]

Nice.

[@DezorianGuy]

Excellent, redo your 7 year old MegaMan medleys. :) Those mics and cams were a bit outdated.

[@GabbPiano]

I think about it, indeed, every time I listen to and rewatch these old videos. But it requires a lot of work and I'm not sure I can do it as well pianistically. Maybe one day I will have the courage...

[@KunaiForce]

Love listening to your work!! Keep it up Can we get your version of snes Corneria (star Fox).

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you KunaiForce. I'm not a big fan of Star Fox on SNES but I recognize that its musical theme is very successful and has become a timeless classic.
