Hey everyone! It is time to take on Spark Mandrill from one of my favorite Mega Man ost's of all time, Mega Man X!
This theme is one of the very first VGM themes I ever learned on guitar. I learned this theme when I was a kid and it was always such a fun song to play. I've been wanting to cover this song for SO LONG but I've been waiting until it felt like the perfect moment.
Jonny and I have been friends for a while and we've been wanting to work together for so long. I've always loved his lead guitar playing and his arranging. His guitar style is so unique and you can always tell when a remix is a GaMetal remix within the first few moments. I have mad respect for this dude.
So a few months ago, Jonny reached out to me and invited me to be a part of his Pepsiman metal medley alongside insaneintherainmusic, The8BitDrummer and other awesome KZbin musicians. But after we did that together, we kept the conversation going and expressed interest in wanting to keep our collaboration going and do some work for eachother's channels.
This felt like the perfect time to bust out this shredtastic theme and have Jonny and I bring out A game on it. I think we did just that and I'm super happy with how it turned out.
Thanks so much for watching!!

Huge thanks to Jonny Atma for showing up massive on this cover! When you’re finished with this video, head over to his channel for part 2 where we’re covering Final Fantasy VIII’s “FORCE YOUR WAY”! ➤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/g52tiaabnNCFgpI I’m a huge fan of Jonny’s playing and we’ve been wanting to work together for a while now so it’s awesome to finally shred together. This definitely won’t be the last time we collaborate! Can’t wait to do it again. 🤘 Thanks so much for watching!

[@TheBanishedWind]

Well it's official, Jirard. If you're here, then it must be awesome.

[@ClericOfPholtus]

Poyo, Jirard

[@casuallymakingyoutubevideo396]

[@AwakenedPhoenix309]

Oh Oh no Jirard whyyyyyyy

[@Yuuphonixx]

I'm a simple man. I see Megaman X, I click on it. I'd love to see you two collab on a cover for Flame Mammoth!

[@Elrinth]

[@yakushi77]

OH YEAH!

[@24LionHearts]

*epic guitar battle begins*

[@alejandroguevarajr.2275]

Why does this fit the fact literally any megaman ost is just metal or rock music, and yet it's so memorable

[@alejandrorodriguez1611]

Retro Gamer cuse actually the original name of megaman in japan is Rockman

[@deslacooda]

Because a lot of classic vidjagæmes had bangin' rhythm and something-something analog, something-something electric guitar.

[@officialteslaus]

Bc metal/rock is sick

[@durtydean8430]

He's called Rockman in Japan for a reason

[@kami_howl8562]

Because Megaman's OST is just Metal but made in 8/16/32 bits.

[@arnaud1335]

[@nickolaspetro]

yo... this song is really good

[@Shadycicada]

God DAMN, you boys killed it! Awesome work

[@briangilmartin662]

Gotta love that OG Mega Man X music. Especially the metal vibes of the original 16-bit tunes XD

[@andyb1653]

Yeah man, in Japan "Megaman" was actually "Rock Man", hence his sidekick being named "Roll". Rock & Roll, see? That's why so much of the music sounds like 8-or-16-bit Judas Priest/Iron Maiden.

[@andrewowens4421]

I love how this vid has gotten new life because of terminalmontage.

[@malikscott7062]

You should play MMX and go to Spark Mandrill's stage

[@el_benja]

HAIYAAAAA!!!

[@foxmulder4318]

Long overdue collaboration's. Both are great, your guys' styles mesh well together.

[@ZeroKnight95]

Sounds really awesome! You guys did a fantastic job with this one. Might I recommend covering Zero's theme as well? :D

[@BedrothVGM]

This song is so great. Every time I see another remix, my first thought is - oh...another Spark Mandrill remix? Then I listen to it and hear how awesome it is all over again. There's no shortage of metal covers of course, but I really think your shredding skills on display at 1:43 really set you apart from the crowd!

[@ladykitsunetama8022]

I am a whole year late, but YES!! My favorite Megaman X jam!!!

[@amsbeats841]

Fucking STELLAR. I often think about an old SNES song that would be awesome if done as an electric guitar cover.. and every time I look it up.. BAM you guys have done it! The passion you guys have for the source material and talent really shows through. This stuff is amazing, never stop doing these SNES covers!

[@Kash-sama]

Melhor cover metal de games que já vi até então. Não desrespeitando os outros, mas esse cara mantem a pegada do antigo midi com aperfeiçoamento do metal dele.

[@kingnick6260]

I’ve never played a second of this game, yet this is such a beautiful & catchy song that it feels like home

[@dreddbolt]

Get equipped with... Hell Yeah Dude!

[@user-tz9rw2fq7n]

This still kicks ass as much as it did the first time I heard it!

[@marcvanvelsen8413]

This is literally the best cover I have heard, thanks Jonny.

[@wanderingharlow6305]

It's crazy how both of you each uploaded your collab at roughly the same exact time. Awesome work, you two!

[@T4nkcommander]

Probably scheduled. You can upload whenever you want then schedule a time you want the video to go live.

[@wanderingharlow6305]

@@T4nkcommander Well now, I learned something new today.

[@acharat6]

My wife doesn't get much of what I'm playing, watching, reading, etc. but somehow this is her favorite song out of everything I play in my car. I'd say she has a good ear.

[@rezahydra]

I’m a HUGE fan of this game. It’s undoubtedly my favorite Megaman game. With this rocking cover, I’d love to see you take me by Storm with a cover of my favorite Megaman boss who’s also from this game as an Eagle. Without a doubt my favorite stage and song in the series as well.

[@ToxicxEternity]

ReZaHydra i covered Storm Eagle a little while back!! Check a few months into my past videos. Hope you enjoy it 🤘

[@retrobution1262]

Oh my god. Two of my absolute favorites getting together to cover mega man x? I can't breath.

[@cactus-chan]

Yo, this song is really good.

[@feliciavale4279]

I want you to be my waifu

[@markolio77486]

MMX had one of THE best video soundtracks of all time

[@LuchoGamingLB]

This is awesome! I love how you love the passion for this old game's soundtrack! LOOOOVEEE IT!!

[@sharkbait8090]

1:42, damn that awesome!

[@benjaminkapic7632]

I keep coming back here to hear this, sounds so good I missed the fact that these 2 dudes just enjoy what they do and it shows.

[@Kaph007]

Temazo!! Lo venía esperando hace tiempo 👏🏼

[@TheCreepypro]

Simply amazing this cover. I admire what you do and I am impressed by how well the recording turns out, since when I recorded something simpler on the guitar it took me 18,829 attempts. I know how hard it is to reach that level that you have, that's why I admire you and you deserve many more subs
