Mega Man X: Spark Mandrill ★ Metal Cover by @banjoguyollie feat.

For my first full collaboration with another #youtuber I decided to take my guitar out of retirement for a dust-shaking, dirty-rocking cover of #Megaman X - #SparkMandrill. Huge thanks to DonuDrums for the collaboration .
Give him a wee sub and a like if you get the chance.

[@juanfrancisco2156]

Yo... this song is really good!

[@JavierSalvatore]

got the reference 🤣

[@Huub_Z]

So far, the best Metal Cover of this song i've heard here in KZbin and somewhere else.

[@banjoguyollie]

ah thanks a lot dude

[@SoburinMuhandae]

I agree with that

[@jdaywork2693]

i agree, This one's great. Check out The Greatest Bits cover as well.

[@HerrconomistFPR]

I'm on a middle of a business meet, and my partner doesn't know what's going on with my suddenly emotion and headbanging. ¡Saludos desde México!

[@anarkhya.]

Haha, whether or not this situation happened, I'd say the picture of that narrative was hilarious, grats!

[@davebladegun3009]

I love a good business meat.

[@Alejandro-er7rp]

Nice

[@reality75]

This is the best Mega Man X music with the Highway Stage!

[@banjoguyollie]

Hey folks don't forget to leave a comment (like letting me know what I should cover next) and hit the like button, it helps more than you know nowadays with youtube's visibility algorithm & policies . ------------------------------

[@danewilburn9940]

One of my favorite stage songs in entire mega man series and you nailed it on the strings!......And who the hell is that pouring his heart onto those drums! This shit was completely, ridiculously insane! Great job

[@RichaadEB]

Sick! Great job guys!

[@banjoguyollie]

RichaadEB thank you

[@michelleheafy]

Def. worth the wait! It's cool to hear you both doing what you do so well in a collab like this. The guitar tone sounds so good. And the drums of course! Awesome job to you and Matt! :)

[@banjoguyollie]

michelleheafy you mean you hadn't heard it yet ... mmmm ... riiiight :)

[@donutdrums]

Banjo Guy Ollie ;) Theeenks

[@lyontj7982]

Best Metal cover I’ve ran in KZbin so far... I play this when Im playing SFV matches a d it really helps to keep me focused and aggressive.

[@squarefan80]

this is easily the sickest version of this song i've ever heard!

[@banjoguyollie]

+squarefan80 thanks ;)

[@zaglamir]

The tapping harmony is KILLER. Nicely done to both of you. Solid work all around.

[@banjoguyollie]

zaglamir thanks a lot!

[@rickonami]

LET'S ROCK.... MAN!!!!

[@banjoguyollie]

***** :D

[@MDXDMusic]

That main lead sound is fucking gorgeous! Brilliant collab guys, got me rockin!

[@donutdrums]

BlackearacheXD Thanks man!

[@banjoguyollie]

BlackearacheXD thanks dude

[@gorillify]

i enjoy the juxtaposition of both of your environments. Ollie's looks very worn in, homey, used, colorful, handmade. DonuDrums is completely spartan and gives off a very austere vibe.

[@banjoguyollie]

GamesquadSquad with a huge ocean between us :) kinda works though

[@Tyranitar66501]

I like to imagine this music as I sail across the ocean :)

[@StevenMorris]

Wonderful!! One of my favorite VG songs :D. I'm so happy that you guys teamed up and tore it apart! Both of you were awesome!!

[@banjoguyollie]

Steven Morris thanks. yeah he's the man for drums !

[@donutdrums]

Banjo Guy Ollie Thanks Steven!

[@krealyesitisbeta5642]

I’ll still have that Banjo solo, in my dreams.

[@AutobotJazz91]

Wow that was awesome! Definitely different than I expected when I clicked the link. You're a very talented musician.

[@banjoguyollie]

AutobotJazz91 haha. mission accomplished so :)

[@rafaechizen]

Man this song is SO awesome!!! Immediately became a favourite of mine, you guys really rock!!! Sick song and sick cover. Keep them coming!!!

[@joemetal123]

What a nostalgic song, thank you for reminding me!

[@segamaster45]

What an epic cover ! Congratulations guys. Cheers from France

[@patu8010]

Probably my favorite Mega Man X song

[@rand64444]

My fucking childhood was made on this!!

[@bboynoe]

Ollie you don't know how happy I was to see you doing a collab witb Matt! You guys Fucking rocked it!!

[@banjoguyollie]

***** thanks a lot man :) yeah, he's some drummer alright!

[@paulleitner8305]

“Yo... this song is really good”

[@LukaMusics]

[@banjoguyollie]

ultimate17 thanks dude!

[@sqliqbild]

Welp, that rocked out as much as expected. I'd love to see a banjo version, though ^^

[@banjoguyollie]

:) thanks

[@diegorafaelldelimadasilva2034]

Good work of song of guitar capcom in megaman x.

[@MakoMusicYT]

What a cool surprise :D You guys did a great job with this one!

[@banjoguyollie]

Omabroodje thanks. glad you enjoyed the change :)

[@Yupppi]

KZbin randomly recommended me this 7 year old video. Wild to see you shred it on electric guitar. It's pretty obvious you didn't choose more traditional instruments over default guitar covers due to any skill related reasons :D

[@banjoguyollie]

only did two electric guitar covers over the years really. (the other one is Pictionary) but I use to play the electric guitar a lot when I was a much younger lad :)

[@catbug4307]

I kinda feel this is better than the original. SO AWESOME!

[@willy7369]

So, This is What AWESOMENESS is supposed to Sound Like Have a Fantastic Day

[@s.s.b.r.7034]

This is should to be the official cover for spark mandril thanks you two for doing that

[@banjoguyollie]

dos santos ahah yeah , that would be awesome, imagine! :D

[@Tyranitar66501]

This is better than the official (Maverick Hunter X Remake) one.

[@noside.foxhound]

I've listened to a ton of spark mandril's metal covers on youtube and this one is the most awesome, complete and accurate one, great work guys!

[@RetroBreak]

my favourite song in X1! an awesome cover too! :D

[@banjoguyollie]

Nicktendowii thank you

[@firestom2009]

Awesome rendition that sounds good

[@revival18]

Now... Castlevania Simon Beltmont's Theme

[@ignitioncore]

This is just badass! Soul chillingly badass!!!

[@banjoguyollie]

+William Neill thanks man!

[@TamTu]

rocking that guitar, man! awesome team up!

[@banjoguyollie]

blogtu (TamTu's Main Channel) thanks man :)

[@LordBifMusic]

That rocks! Great collab guys, and awesome playing from both of you!

[@donutdrums]

Lord Bif Music Thanks man!!!

[@banjoguyollie]

Lord Bif Music :) thank you

[@tirnanog13]

That... was probably the best Spark Mandrill cover I've heard. I can't tell you how glad I am I stumbled on your channel after your collaboration with MES. I don't care what you play, I'm loving it all. Just keep on playing! Please!

[@TheGameGrinder]

Damn dudes! Killed it! Awesome cover!

[@banjoguyollie]

The Game Grinder thanks man

[@tejonBiker]

All video game sound track should be like this: injecting energy to continue playing, wonderful job with the cover

[@AdrielTrigger]

Awesome, as always, Sir Ollie! I just missed some of the higher notes the original tune had.

[@banjoguyollie]

AdrielTrigger thanks. yeah the guitar doesn't have enough frets to go that high :)

[@xaer0knight]

Freaking awesome! I love collaborations shows the talent of everyone. Keep the great work coming! and that's why they call it ROCK man!

[@banjoguyollie]

Jason Hicks thanks man :)

[@jonathanalvarez2909]

[@banjoguyollie]

+the real saguz haha. do it :D

[@saguz_]

i can't compete with awesomeness such as this master piece anyways, so i'll pass on the purchase and let the pro's do the work ;)

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

Gawd I love you guys. That lead is just gorgeous sounding! Probably the best cover of this song yet! You really can do it all Ollie!

[@banjoguyollie]

Project Genesis thanks man :)

[@IcaroDavi]

Very nice !!! GREAT JOB!

[@Andrewrayayala]

I can't stop listening! The drum bass line is amazing! So fast!

[@banjoguyollie]

***** I used a very simplified bass line , so I could play it :) , but ended up dialing it way down into the mix for clarity as it was getting too busy. amazing bass line though yeah

[@ValneiJr1]

woooooow is awesome!!!!!

[@Alucard1191]

Well, now I want to play Megaman X.....

[@maximuscesar]

Awesome! This is my second favorite music from this game! Now do Storm Eagle!

[@banjoguyollie]

maximuscesar will do. it's in my list

[@Pliskkenn]

That is a most curious looking banjo... still it sounds great!

[@banjoguyollie]

Plikky Dee yeah it's the Les Paul Banjo model. sounds almost like a fender :D ^^

[@omniXenderman]

cool! love collabs

[@banjoguyollie]

omniXenderman thanks :)

[@omniXenderman]

your welcome!

[@The_MechaGojira]

Freaking Awesome XD

[@banjoguyollie]

TheGameHub thanks

[@S0LV0]

Really good arrangement! My only real complaint is that there isn't much in the range of the bass frequencies. Is there even a dedicated bass part? Regardless, I really like the sound.

[@banjoguyollie]

S0LV0 thanks a lot!! yeah, I simplified the bass so I could play it but ended up dialing it way down in the mix since I wasn't showing it at all. I thought the piece was busy enough and wanted to emphasise the guitar and drums. Even the rythm guitar are way down. I know some peopl would have prefered a fuller mix but It's a personal choice i guess :)

[@sha69y]

woaaahhh ... best metal cover, clean \m/ request cover metal fight 2 - riverside ( nes )

[@Luvology810]

Your apologizing for not doing a banjo cover!? Sir...we should be thanking you!
