[@videomaestro9566]

HMK IT IS DA HYPE MASTAAAAAAAAAA!😆

[@Harkins1721]

HMK whines too much. Makes KH fans looks like huge babies

[@ProjectDestati]

WOW. So much technical proficiency--very impressive! Love those Destati motifs woven throughout :)

[@Abelatox]

You guys are WOW XD

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks so much! Love your stuff :D

[@XD-385]

Knowing what you've gone through on your Facebook account, it really is a shame something as tragic as all of that is what killed your creative output. Here's hoping that life finally starts to ease up on you soon and that when you come back, you come back strong and with your creative juices ready to overflow. Best of luck out there. You have a gift with music and we appreciate you sharing it with us.

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you so much for your comment. Trust me when I say, I will be back. There’s no way I’m done making music. I think it was just an unfortunate combo of random burnout combined with everything else you read about. But, I’ll be back, I promise. And I’m excited for what I have planned once I do start up again :))))))

Wow! 50,000 views on this video!!! Thank you all so much

[@92Zzack]

Is this song on Spotify???

[@chrisprusinowski5287]

Metal music and arrangements are so overdone and so overblown. It permeates too many covers on youtube.

[@kamenridertheblueknight5313]

After hearing this, I AM SO USING THIS FOR MY UPCOMING SCORN BOSS FIGHT FOR MY SUNDAY TRANSFORMERS CAMPAIGN HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! It fits him perfectly!

[@blendernoob64]

a full version of disappeared needs to happen! all of these arrangements kick so much butt!

[@ArdghalTheThinker]

Your understanding and ability of how to translate these pieces into metal is unparalleled.

[@GarikWheeler]

That means a lot to me, thank you for this comment :)))

[@jorgeplazola7889]

This is our metal tribute.....

[@shinultima2140]

Longer version of Dissapeared please. That's my favorite out of all Kingdom Hearts themes.

[@konos-p8842]

Proper KH metal if I ever heard it. Fantastic playing and composition

[@TransDrummer1312]

Darkness within Darkness within darkne- I’ll stop Just A Pancake-ing now lmao

[@Uturuncu]

You just took my two favorite things, Xehanort and metal. And squished them into ten minutes of mingled joy and anxiety. Man some of those themes got my heart pounding. L'Impeto Oscuro in particular.

[@kizuuwu7563]

Little did you know, metal is just another incarnation of Xehanort

[@robertneal6472]

Right? That part was awesome and I like how it goes with the battle gameplay

[@dawnwayfinder]

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me feel.

[@GarikWheeler]

^_^

[@kevinkaslana9060]

If you managed to play all of the Xehanort' themes while wearing the coat of Organization XIII, I would actually call you the Master of Masters.

[@PrinceHaelu]

*dies of epic overdose*

[@SparkzInsanity24]

I love how you broke away at Organization XIII part and then brought it back so epicly! You really can tell how much work and thought went into this piece.

[@DavidRussell323]

Ridiculously skillful. It's evident how much work you put into this, and it shows! Incredible work, and kudos for covering Kingdom Hearts!

[@FlownXp]

The X-Blade has been forged! And it is this video.

[@slateoffate9812]

FlownXp 13 Darknesses, check. Now you just need 7 Lights.

[@lycanfenris1128]

Hmmm...Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Aqua, and Ventus are definitely guardians of light... but there is 1 more slot... for who?

[@lycanfenris1128]

Well...Aqua isn’t a light anymore 😭

[@Vigriff]

And now it's time for the FINAL UNION!

[@SilentFlyX]

Disliker, your heart shall be judged!

[@CrispyCriax]

I still find myself playing this every so often, and nodding along to it. I love how you got some of the songs to flow so fluidly into each other, its great. My inner metalhead combines with my love for this game, and I need you to know this is fucking awesome! :D

[@onniedoodles]

At 7:06 you can really feel that ominous vibe at the start and I love it- this whole cover is honestly so good, I’m glad this popped up in my recommendations👌✨

[@AirbagVII]

Amazing job man! Well done!

[@nuruddinshah684]

WHAT!!!!

[@denksnek3726]

That was absolutely amazing. I got goosebumps at the end lol.

[@risingfalcon]

Oh, man, that was amazing! I especially loved the way you did Xehanort's theme (and how you went into it so abruptly -- just the right amount of startling creepiness. XD) and I JUST ABOUT LOST IT WHEN YOU DID FATE OF THE UNKNOWN

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks so much! I'll definitely be covering some of the KH3 music, I'm sure.

[@jeremym8748]

seriously, how did I not find you earlier? Your content is amazing and you deserve way more subs

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you so much :)

[@jeremym8748]

+Garik Wheeler disappeared is definitely my favorite.

[@dragon19954]

7:33 Holy Kingdom Hearts! .w. That's epic!

[@RoPanuganti]

Insane playing and mix! Love seeing unique Kingdom Hearts arrangements!

[@NDragon1412]

Aww, dat nostalgic feeling... keep that amazing work up ;)

[@Lufca]

[@biggnelson74]

Imma need a full version of Darkness of the Unknown sooner or later, you did this one so well

[@nuruddinshah684]

HMK have to make that his Opening SERIOUSLY

[@GarikWheeler]

I'd love for HMK to see this. I'm a big fan of his :D

[@GarikWheeler]

[@TriumphantLosses]

Wow dude, freaking amazing! I'm not even a big metal fan but that was phenomenal work, great job!

[@Boyaketeru]

[@meevil24]

A fitting tribute for a worthy adversary/adversaries

[@ethanfernandez4932]

[@saiyanelitegaming]

Please do a longer "a fight to the death" mate. That goes so hard

[@candaceneybert5201]

Duuuuuuddddeeeeee 😮 Okay...once you did the switch hands magic arpeggios in #2 my jaw dropped!!! The lead slide riff in #5 is super dope. I mean, all of it is dope! I had no idea this is what I was walking into 😂 #8 is my favorite - love the pinched harmonics but also #10 tho...🤣 BRAVO!!! 🤘😁🤘

[@GarikWheeler]

THANK YOU 😁

[@SilentFlyX]

Absolutely stunning

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you!

[@Ventus2077]

Now we need an updated version that includes Lord of the Castle for Marluxia and Unbreakable Chains with Enter to Darkness for Vanitas, perhaps 13th Dilemma, Reflection and Struggle for Xigbar, Saix, Luxord and Larxene

[@NickGuitarMan7]

This is fucking incredible dude. Hair is standing on end.

[@micahbrill]

So talented...really impressive.

[@akaibarasenritsuko1421]

This is outstanding! I absolutely love this metal mash up cover. This is so helpful for my drawing!!!

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you so much! What're you drawing? I love to draw as well :)

[@akaibarasenritsuko1421]

Garik Wheeler it' for a fan project I'm working on kh amino. I'm drawing up character designs.

[@GarikWheeler]

Neat!

[@flowtgt8719]

its another level dude... Im totaly under his genjutsu...

[@irusu.]

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!!! It was worth all the effort you have put in in the past two years and Brian did a cool job mixing it! I really really loved this bro! Cool solos everywhere tho!

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks bro :D

[@liquidblack477]

ultimate track

[@liquidblack477]

haha epic bass is epic

[@chirithies450]

this sounds amazing!!!!!!! honestly amazing job it slaps

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you!!

[@Mirokguitar]

Insane Medley !!!

[@taylorsrighteoustalks1279]

The order you put them in would make one hell of a deathcore song lol

[@eduardogarcia9019]

The 13 darknessess shall be united. All the seats have been filled.

[@Drumavarium]

If I was gay or a girl I would send in the marriage proposal right now. Honestly, fucking amazing. I've seen quite a few people who tried to cover Kingdom Hearts music (I love the game and the music endlessly) but they never managed to just get the mood right if that makes sense. You did that absolutely perfectly. This is absolutely fantastic. Fun fact, we have the same number of subscribers, which is unfair because this is better than all covers I have EVER done :D

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you so much! Kingdom Hearts is my favorite thing in the entire world so I have an unlimited amount of passion and love for it. I poured all of that into this, so thank you for your kind words :)

[@Drumavarium]

Absolute same here with Kingdom Hearts. I'm gonna listen to your video like 300 times and then do my best to make a drum cover of it if that's okay for you! :)

[@GarikWheeler]

For sure, man. Go for it!

[@jordandeadley360]

Xehanort has such an epic theme when it’s in metal

[@aarushi3579]

I’ve been listening to this same video an indescribable amount of times. It’s so incredibly awesome!! As a guitarist myself I want to one day be able to play as well as you (yes I realise I’m very late with the comment...)

[@bongripsuplex7589]

Let's all go to the lobby! Let's all go to the lobby! Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat! Delicious things to eat! The popcorn can't be beat! The sparkling drinks are just dandy, the chocolate bars and the candy, so let's all go to the lobby and get ourselves a treat!

[@megasgh52]

Amazing, great work

[@NIIVES]

Super nice mate, make more like this and I'm subscribed

[@AnthonyBraun04]

Bel lavoro il mio preferito è quello che hai fatto di xion kairi e naminè davvero bravissimo

[@MarkSharkification]

This is awesome! :)

[@sokaithunder]

Soy el único al que Kingdom Hearts le recuerda mucho a la franquicia de Megaman? por sus jefes que pasan por varias fases, gran variedad de juegos, peleas espectaculares y obviamente por su banda sonora, que coverizado al metal suena mas convincentemente como un tema de Megaman :3

[@yerabelcher7889]

*bobbing head while tongue sticking out* YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

[@pepelopezlopez6591]

esto es lo mas increible que he visto a mis 17 años de vida

[@WhaleWTFMetal]

Very well done cover, man !

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you!

[@KresusFIN]

The mind shudders to imagine what you, Little V and Ferdk could cook up if you performed a "Trinity Limit" ;)

[@GarikWheeler]

A Trinity Limit! I love it ^_^ That would definitely be cool

[@LordXemnasXIII]

New Favorite Video!!!

[@jesseruiz8411]

Sounds amazing great job , great idea doing these !!

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks! I wanted to pay tribute to such an amazing series/saga

[@pjaykay]

Sick cover dude! Much respect (Y)

[@nuruddinshah684]

When I'm hearing the song Megaman X (soundtarck 1-8) and Doom (disappeared) just pop up in my mind. Solo part remind me of Metal slug Music Composer Perrrrrrrrrrrrfect. the shift from one song to the next (chills) and of course KHFM2 secret ending song Perfect ending

[@ishyreddi13]

Garik, open your heart to the darkness lol

[@DragonKnight90001]

Dark impetus......so many game overs because of this guy

[@DTMRoleplays]

Unbelievable! How are you this good!

[@GarikWheeler]

Practice!... and caffeine.
