Hey guys! It's time to tear up an amazing classic VGM theme from Mega Man X!
Storm Eagle is such an iconic piece of VGM. So much so that every guitarist that has ever played MMX finds themselves wanting to learn this melody. I first started learning this piece wayy back even before I started making covers. The melody is beautifully written and perfect for some insane guitar shred.
Since this theme and I go so far back, I really wanted to do this one the ultimate justice. I tried as hard as I could to nail that perfect balance of keeping the spirit of the original theme intact but also taking every opportunity I could to put my personality into it. I had to exercise extreme restraint of shredding over every riff. But the simplicity of the main riff just cannot be tampered with haha.
I just had such a blast putting this together and it feels great to piece together an arrangement of this iconic theme and I can say that I put 110% of myself into it. I hope you guys enjoy it and make sure to let me know what you think in the comments!!

The mega man X soundtrack and castlevania soundtracks should be in history books. Timeless masterpieces

[@Jorge-dd6nf]

F-Zero too bro

[@LguanadonTRex]

Toxic Eternity’s MMX songs may as well be the official versions at this point. This game and soundtrack were iconic to me growing up

[@22vx]

Please don't ever outgrow this art form. You're phenomenal.

[@jonathangerrits7697]

you can always become better

[@ToxicxEternity]

Almost feels like a MMX album is coming together ^_^ Which Mega Man X track would you like to see next?! Thanks for watching!

[@moebiwan6556]

Zero's Theme from MMX3 would be excellent man!

[@ericjp2000]

I seriously want to see you cover X's intro stage theme from X4, probably my favorite song in the whole series, and yet it barely gets any love, hopefully you could change that :D

[@RaifSeverence]

Blizzard Wolffang from X6

[@JkDubbed]

This is awesome. Can I ask, do you know anything about cameras? What do you use? I need something pretty good quality in low light that can record up to an hour.

[@Nickleus213]

Sting chameleon theme

[@Thunderhorse706]

Great job Jack! My son is 2 and already knows how to headbang lol. You should see him shake with excitement with the distorted intro to your vids! I'll have to share a vid of it sometime. You bring even a 2 year old little boy so much joy with your music. Keep it up!

[@jackalclone1]

Coming back after so many years and seeing amazing real artists bring guitar covers to Mega Man X really makes you appreciate the fact that its soundtrack had no business going as hard as it did!

[@cirilolumpasiii9984]

The guitar sounds EXACTLY like in the console!

[@vivi7676]

2:07 If anyone asks me what I find sexually attractive, it's definitely that pinch harmonic

[@NUGGet-3562]

Oh gosh yes, I agree

[@KTF0]

I'm just starting pinch harmonics, yeah, I wish I can get that fucking good,

[@vivi7676]

@The Krookodile Hunter thats awesome, man

[@magoo2133]

Every time I see or hear Storm Eagle’s name, all I could think of is Somecallmejohnny going “IT’S STORM EAGLE!” (I have not seen that play through. Might change that.)

[@rosspalumbo]

This arrangement is absolutely incredible. That breakdown, the harmonies, the layers and CLEAN - Steller job my dude.

[@AniGaAG]

I came to check in on your understanding of the importance of the ascending bassline that carries the original track, and the need to emphasize it in order to make the track come to life. I was not disappointed. Marry me.

[@ttc9able]

I legitimately find Storm Eagle to be the most fun boss fight in the entire Mega Man series.

[@maverick4761]

dude i didnt know u made a cover of this AND IM BEYOND GLAD I FOUND IT THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF

[@drewmcnail4353]

Your covers of MMX music is life. I’ve always wanted to hear these songs in an awesome metal cover and you’ve perfected it

[@slyfox21xl]

Awesome job, yet again, Toxic! Thank you so much for your amazing work!

[@BNGamesYT]

I was really hoping for this one dude, nailed it

[@Thunderhorse706]

That was an awesome solo you added. Very epic! I've seen many covers of this and like this best

[@amethystbasilisk3285]

You added such modern metal flare to such an incredible compositional classic. This is one of the best covers I've heard in a long, long time.

[@pinewizard715]

Awesome cover as always Toxic!

[@TheCreepypro]

I am blown away by this fine cover!

[@ripsteakface]

I think we've all listened to hundreds of covers of this song on KZbin but this one is just something else man. >< !!! Mad props on the harmonies and adding your flavor all over this beast. LOVE IT!

[@danfer.personal]

THATS IT BROOOOOOO btw: WHO ELSE WAS WAITING FOR HIS SOLO AT @1:40?

[@3rivrock]

OMG so much nostalgia! Awesome cover man!

[@AlexaLacroix]

MM really suits your style incredibly well what a banger dude

[@luistrejo7249]

Excellent melodics and tempo. Good job, Guitar Hunter!

[@miguellarmed34]

I liked the video already, I'm just so glad! Been notified is enough joy :D (obviously I loved the song, THANKS)

[@douglane3962]

Knocking it out of the park as usual, Jack!🤘

[@VogonPoetry_42]

A prominent feature of my childhood metallized. Couldn't ask for more :)

[@kushpoe]

HIt me so hard in the nostalgia zone I was crying while listening to this and driving, this is forever insanely great

[@moebiwan6556]

JACK, MY DUDE! This is so killer. You nailed it man!

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

Most fresh version I've heard in a long time.

[@aritherial9021]

Underrated, BEST cover of storm eagle so far

[@CoffinZ12]

I could’ve sworn you’ve done this cover already but damn it’s sounds so amazing

[@D3L3T3]

This is so good..my goodness

[@Liffrit]

You're One of the kings of the covers mate

[@ashrakkrazlegan6114]

I carefully searched youtube for all covers of this songs. By far this is the best!

[@DivineTiming8888]

That feeling when you're listening to Toxic's music and he drops another video, nothing like it XD

[@Thunderhorse706]

I keep him and very few others on notification. Me and my son get excited to see a new cover!

[@Ryu-Q363]

This is so good

[@NoNameEntered]

By far the best rendition of Storm Eagle

[@per-olaeriksson2589]

Great work.

[@MS831985]

Made the most metal-sounding track of this game even more metal-sounding. 🤘😁

[@TheGuitarPit]

I haven't heard this song for 20+ years and still remembered every note. I guess that's good song writing! Or just being a kid and playing the same level, over and over and over and over :)

[@tailgunner2]

For me, it was not moving and just let the music play!

[@cvanims]

Yaaas! Nice work!

[@NUGGet-3562]

FRICK YES DUDE! JACK IS BACK! I hit that like button before it even started playing lol

[@julianotucabigoto2543]

me fez realmente voltar no tempo, obrigado! vc toca muito, é de mais!

[@thisisfyne]

Hands down the best cover of that song on KZbin!

[@Mid-Suavemente]

As much as I enjoy Toxic's covers, I personally think Metalltool's cover of this is better but I can respect your opinion. This is my second fav

[@XIxR3DEEM3RxIX]

Awesome one and awesome video! ;P

[@l208ERT]

Amazing

[@Jdockery007]

this goes so hard

[@DongLabUTHSCSA]

holy cow man, just found your channel... unreal!!!

[@machinaeZER0]

This is epic, man. :) such a blast from my childhood. Thanks for the great cover! (where'd you get that metroid shirt?)

[@pandorasbread]

This cover is great! The solo fits so well I thought it was part of the original track

[@JebronLames9612]

Yeah! This Storm Eagle Cover could be ideal to any student, who daydreams in a lecture, as this song is very motivating to listen! Capcom really nailed it!

[@Re1gn0fd4rkn3ss]

Awesome❤❤ *CHILDHOOD FLASHBACK 😳

[@nelsonsobral2629]

Awesome cover as usual, dude, you never cease to amaze all of us. Where'd'you get that Metroid shirt, tho? I want one of those.

[@FerdinandvonAegir]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN, that was pleasing to wake up to. Nice!

[@FernandoBaruni]

Wow! That's amazing! \m/

[@user-px4dk3fs2x]

かっこいい！STORM EAGLEのギターアレンジで一番好きです🎸🦅🌪

[@tsarscarme]

man, you are super awesome

[@rickyspanish6261]

Bring me to tears, ❤

[@Abc-tx4zr]

Best channel no doubt both parts of my child hood combined metal and games

[@StarvingArtiztMedia]

You have some beautiful ESPs!🥰

[@Nierez]

Me headbanging to this jam while playing the mop guitar 😄🎶🤘

[@oyasumi-sweets7708]

反則的なカッコよさ

[@raul_8985]

Awesome

[@DangerLevel10]

Your glasses brand should sponsor you. The amount of head banging they withstand is incredible!

[@tayloraprile3851]

Lol

[@SOCAL_SHORTS_FACTORY]

This is fucking amazing

[@brianbergmusic5288]

Those Japanese composers sure knew how to craft good melodies that could loop forever and remain fresh... leaving a whole culture of appreciation in their wake. Melody in the West is being abandoned for a 'shiny new sound' syndrome. Thanks to tunes like this, the holistic stream of consciousness that once nurtured melodic art form will live another day, and hopefully be improved upon by another generation of musicians.

[@madocama]

This is why I subbed

[@SephirothRyu]

You go. You must find energy the energy immediately, baby boo bop megaman! Target: Storm Eagle L. Status: Unknown. Origin: Unknown: Skills: Really good at music.

[@marginbuu212]

Man, growing up in the 90s was awesome.

[@boshway2870]

Hot Christ, the way you let the notes ring together from 1:01 to 1:18 is so fucking sick. I'd love to hear that isolated.

[@WillRennar]

Holy _shit_ that was awesome!

[@LuchoGamingLB]

LOVEEEE ITT!!!!!!

[@inaminute1826]

Best cover of this song imo WOOOOOOOO 🤟 🦅 🤟🤣

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

I could've sworn you made a cover of this song, or I'm forgetting it was Richaad. Either way, I always know you'll make high caliber covers of MMX anyway!

[@whoshotya117]

I'm gonna need all the Mega Man X stages my man! Do Boomer Kuwanger!

[@Swordsman278]

MMX slapped harder than any of us were ready for!

[@FearOwnsReason]

Look son, a professional!
