Mega Man II - Dr. Wily Stage 1 (metal version)

I AM BACK, BABY!
I'm finally free from the military service and will have more time to do music again. For starters, I hit up this collaboration project with Lee Duffy from LDVGM.
Check out his channel: / duffy123123
And his Facebook: / ldvgm
We decided to go with this track since it has been requested from me and probably from him as well many, many times. It was a lengthy and challenging project, but here's the final product. Hope you guys like!
Now watch as Lee completely out-plays me!

I love the little headbanging Megaman

[@saidotero3173]

And also he stops headbanging to behold the AWESOME SOLO at 1:44 :D

[@sebastiancaris]

Said Antonio Otero that solo was bloody tears from Castlevania 2 XD

I defo did not expect to see you here haha. Still trying to find the one version of it that I've seen like a decade ago was only one guy though. He was outstanding.

The Megaman franchise probably had THE best soundtrack in retro gaming history.

[@aniht5]

Hands down. Best metal cover for one of the best songs of the mega man series. Hats off to you broskis.

[@jimmysmith9506]

I would say this song is the cornerstone of all the great retro games. It begins here, and then we remember all the rest. Castlevania, Sonic, Chrono trigger, Zelda, Contra, Double Dragon, Tmnt, Donkey Kong country, Blaster Master, Metroid, Blades of steel, Super spike vball, etc, etc, etc... basically every NES, SNES, and Sega game we've loved as kids. If you were born in the 1980s, and had the luxury of Nintendo and Sega, your childhood was amazing. Whoever hears this Dr Wiley song in the future needs to understand what a great time the late 1980s - early 1990s were. If i could pick a certain year, probably 1991 everything was climaxed for a 8-10 year old kid.

This is just so beast I always come back once in a while to listen to this masterpiece again just awesome tbh

That was by far the best version of this theme I have ever personally heard, and I have heard many.

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

ROCK ON, DUDES! One of the best video game tunes of all time! The composer clearly loved Iron Maiden, it sounds like something off the Somewhere In Time album, which would have been the latest album while Mega Man 2 was in development, though Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son was released in 1988.

[@flabbomcgee6923]

This makes me happy. I love seeing the amazing music played the way it should. Well done guys!

[@jamesoettinger7933]

I think around 1:45 someone decided to throw some Castlevania into the mix.

[@LeoDarkMan696]

James Oettinger a little Crossover hahaha

[@CoffinZ12]

It's been a year and I still love listening to this song done by you, good job.

[@endoroboto]

I've listened to so many versions of this song and this one right here is hands down the best. Please Nirre Man, save us!

[@Dumpweed971]

I've been listening to this non stop for almost a week, GODDAMN is this a great cover!

[@Dablus]

This REALLY sounds like Iron maiden :o anyways, nice work bro !

[@MarkerInTheSand]

Yes! It's the bassline I think.

[@kitsune1284]

More like dragonforce I think

[@Thesnakerox]

MarkerInTheSand No, I think it's the gallops in the rhythm section. Really makes me think of The Trooper.

[@triad5766]

Thesnakerox - definitely NWOBHM but I can hear some power metal in it as well

[@giancarloubaldino2340]

It's the gallop.

[@unreconstructed]

This is the best song to grace ANY video game.

[@kevinburley6027]

This brings back my childhood in the best way ever. Hats off to you sir because this is easily the best cover of any Megaman II song I've seen

[@johnnyyoutube416]

Holy smokes, this is flat out amazing. Great job!!

[@qcdoomqc]

How can we dislike this... this is the manifestation of what we want the megaman theme to be...

[@hardhead6871]

I think this is by far the best remix of this classic song. Everyone just tries to over do it to much, but you keep it simple but just enough change to still make different and great.

[@gAmEfReaKk33]

Still love to hear this cover after years, this is truly a masterpiece!!

[@AndrewHarmsArtwork]

Your bass tone is so nice it adds a lot to this song

[@luisgomez1569]

[@arkisenn9895]

Absolutely love the little added touch of Megaman headbanging and watching the guitarists play!

[@TheSalixKetuur]

I think I've watched this video about 50 times already! This is the BEST metal version I've heard. I remember back in the day, thinking Capcom music would be SO good for reals. Nice work guys.

[@RokuErickson]

This slays. I honestly consider Dr. Wiley's Castle to be one of the finest themes if not songs of all time. I'm probably being a little nostalgic for the days of playing Mega Man 2 back in the day but tbh I love this song with all my heart, always knew it was suited for metal and you guys just crushed it. Great job. I'd probably cry if I heard this played live. Thanks for the great video. 🤘🏻

[@ChromWolf]

I had this perfect version of this song in my head. It was the heaviest metal evar. Then I heard this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SO epic!!

[@reihkangul7288]

I love how this sounds so similar to the one on the actual stage! Very awesome cover, one of the best! :P

[@RogueSceptile]

This is amazing! heavy metal makes almost all music sound better.

[@Alband2x]

The first videogame i ever played was megaman 2. That was 25 years ago, now i have 30. I always loved this theme, i am a guitarrist as well but i am to far from your level, excellent work and your technique is awesome

[@ItsRobinWhoTalks]

Same here, I'm 21 and I played MM2 when I was 4, it was the first game I've ever played and it's still one of my favourite games of all time

Wow, thank you for the download. Song's been stuck in my head for a week now. Awesome video/cover

[@classicbryen444]

This has brought me much joy.

[@NeoGioGaming]

Oh man, when you started playing the guitar solo slowly, it sounded like you were going to transition into Bloody Tears from Castlevania. Either way, excellent cover, and great guitar tone for the song too.

[@SquareInsider]

That is exactly what I thought what was about to happen. Everyone's face would have melted. Cover is amazing though.

I've only been playing for I think 1-2 years now? and I know how to play this song and tbh it's not that hard. Although I can't play it nearly as well as this guy; I just play it one note at a time (no chords), and this is obviously beyond my skill level. But if you just play it one note at a time it's honestly not that hard.
