POKEMON - Champion Lance/Red Battle || Metal Cover by RichaadEB

[@goatbot9733]

Ah Lance, good old full restores with level 65 dragonites and leaving you on your own to fight an entire base of team rocket members

[@ryanprower4246]

Goat Bot *48

[@Rigter9029]

*75

[@MegamiImperatrix]

Don't forget when he told his Dragonite to use hyper beam on a dude.

[@blackhaxorus8725]

Indeed

[@Alex_Was_Taken]

And you did it, he believed in you.

[@SaucyRamenBoy]

You cant be Champion of the Pokemon League without knowing how to spam full restores!

[@rynemcgriffin1752]

T. Hui And those two Dragonite

[@youmukonpaku3168]

Not to mention knowing how to teach your pokemon moves they can't learn in any fair (level up, breeding inheritance, or TMs) way whatsoever

[@grey4798]

and having underleveled final evolution pokemon

[@angeryroshea2254]

Say that to my three inappropriately leveled dragonites!

[@dannie2712]

In the end i could beat him with 1 pokemon like Espeon or Pidgeot

[@frederickgaignard2003]

This man is better at guitar that I am at sleeping, and I'm lazy af.

[@falafelbil455]

Alpaca Animations Inc. wtf u cant even compare the two lol

[@Cracotte06]

He is better at guitar than I am at breathing, and I don't even have asthma.

[@thepurpleshade486]

CyborgRowlet 546 he is better at guitar than I am at making no sense, Steve from accounting was fired today for snuggling with the coffee maker

[@rtiq270]

He's better than me being on time.

[@metalicarus8372]

he's better than me at being RichaadEB, honestly i'm not trying too hard, bein myself but i headbang once in a while no wonder he wins

[@vahlak6554]

20 years and this is still the pinnacle of Pokemon music

[@gb213]

today years old finding this, but definitely better late than never

[@The8BitDrummer]

Battle me papa! XD

[@RichaadEB]

ANY TIME SON

[@draggonic]

i don't wanna be the one to interrupt this moment but someone has got to ask this question... *collab?*

[@AklyonX]

Drum on Guitar combat? Sounds cool

[@originquantum5483]

DraggonicGamer this beautiful collab needs to happen

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Drums vs Guitar?! :O It's on!

[@dyssonpitcher612]

That personal bit you inserted into the song at 1:32-1:45 is incredible.

[@lucallio6091]

the first true last boss i ever defeated in my life

[@LetsAMP]

I feel you Luc, I feel you :D

[@MasterPigeonXD]

Try Cynthia on for size

[@sanscipher435]

MasterPigeonXD cynthia is someone you will expect it's red you don't expect to be on Mt. Silver . An unexpected champion battle with all you have got .

[@theillusionist1494]

I still want to see/make a mashup game where previous Elite Four members or tough trainers are the gym leaders, and the Elite Four is (in order): Lance, N, Steven, and Red or Blue (depending on your version of the game), with Cynthia as the Champion. Or, to put it another way: I want to see people suffer.

[@therubycaptain9895]

In soul silver, Red is the "true" last boss to fight, with his pokemon being lv 70 - 80

[@daisyu1750]

"Trainer Red wants to battle"

[@budlitebeer8070]

Richaad, allow me to register you and your guitar as CHAMPIONS!

[@sh1ku]

Even if I've heard this song countless times, your version takes it to another level. Way to go, man.

[@uniquehandleohsocool]

something something spam full restores

[@icegold91]

Snorlax use rest... FUUUUUUUU

[@lewisb943]

Sir Musty Something something Dragonites exploding

[@weirdcaster1679]

something something dragonites dying from an atv

[@captainblade138]

it's the end of your journey

[@PabloLomez]

All Terrain Venomoth!

[@RichaadEB]

yo, I've started making tabs for my covers (including this one!) on patreon - check it out here if you're interested: ►www.patreon.com/RichaadEB

[@ViralCrush1]

The heavy, chugging chords, the manic energy of the song, and the overall emotion of the melody (especially with the backup guitar) really sells this as an intense, earth-shattering showdown. One of my favorite covers of one of my favorite themes!

[@alicestolze8327]

Lance but he just lets his pokemon eat whoever they feel like

[@novastar3990]

This was the first true final boss I ever faced. It was AMAZING, and hearing you recreate this song brings back so many memories!

[@kingzekrom6399]

*YOU CAN'T BE A CHAMPION WITHOUT HAVING THREE HACKED DRAGONITES*

[@tsukasa-no-douji5089]

2 dragonites with an impossible move pool? Dude definitely used a gameshark

[@aph613]

No lie I was actually in shock the first time I beat him. When I watched the last one faint I was like “Wait, what? I did it?”

[@sctkarter1111]

The nostalgia man. And then back before KZbin had a ton of playthroughs and unexpectedly finding Red in mount silver to hear this gem again

[@terracannon876]

I remember when I came upon the Champion in HGSS, and when he appeared, I had a nostalgia attack back to GSC and RGBY (the opening)

[@imaginaryboy2000]

I say we petition to have this version be the next official Champion theme. Who's with me?

[@Zanctarian]

Jason Skywalker defiantly

[@Volcanic_Rave]

Jason Skywalker the only reason that would make sense is if the champion is red. And I don't think they're randomly going to make red the champion. Theme for a battle with red? Definitely. Champion? Unless they make HGSS 3D, no

[@imaginaryboy2000]

Mariomaniac88 They could do another World Tournament thing like the one in B2W2.

[@ExtremeAce]

It would be so great if the HG/SS received a Remake in 3D

[@indieretro2957]

There's only one thought that comes to mind every time I hear this song no matter what version it is. "..."

[@christopherharv]

It’s a masterpiece of a composition.

[@ZeichiVos]

My god, this was the most hype battle when I was a kid. Really cool seeing it brought to life in a badass metal cover now!

[@ToxicxEternity]

awww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@x0MykeJames0x]

You guys should team up and do a vs battle with this song, it would be a dream come truuuuuuue pleeeeease

[@lw8638]

Myke James ur gay lmao

[@DrRosenPihnoos]

ITS HIM

[@Shining4Dawn]

Just subscribed. You're now my favorite KZbin guitarist. Your 2017 videos have all been on point. Keep up the good work, man!

[@RichaadEB]

thanks so much!!

[@Etrokie]

Really enjoying your own added parts in this one. It really suits the song!

[@thedonniechannel6314]

I think the reason for reds silence is because when you first speak to him he underestimates your strength as he has not found a worthy challenge for him until you showed up, and he’d grown tired of fighting one sided battles. However once you win he remains in silence but shocked and flees, maybe he saw that after years of isolation he finally saw the world was catching up with him and he couldn’t afford to fall down from his rank as the strongest.

[@justacupcakedude593]

I'm pretty sure it's a joke since when you play as him in Pokemon Red you don't really talk

[@thedonniechannel6314]

@@justacupcakedude593 then that would follow suit for all the protagonists lwouldn’t it? Since every one we play doesn’t give dialogue. In the anime’s red speaks as well, and as the anime progresses we see him falling silent more and more towards the end. Idk I don’t see it as a joke but more of how I explained it.

[@akoba1520]

@@thedonniechannel6314 I mean, Its definitely just a joke. Im sorry but the pokemon devs don't care as much about lore as you think.

[@thedonniechannel6314]

@@akoba1520 well you seem like to waste your time telling me something I already know lol. I wrote this to write my own personal thoughts on it. I never said that the developers made this canon.

[@lunasam9]

Then red becomes the dad of Nate or X/Y protag

[@CalebHyles]

\m/ 👌🤘

[@rexflamevermillion5527]

oh my gosh caleb hyle in a comment section rare sighting btws fan of your work

[@final8547]

boi

[@Dedry]

bruh

[@tymaddux2644]

You should make a metal cover of this song

[@hallowedsword9362]

Dude, you're the first person I've seen to do a cover that doesn't make it feel like a joke. Pokemon is serious business and so is the music. Thumbs up brother. New sub!

[@NickLaposky]

this is what the gameboy pokemon sounded like to me, the drums were implicit, there was only so much it could do. thank you for bringing it to life.

[@Ytim-alac]

PkMn Trainer Nostalgia wants to battle!

[@eizzah8323]

Ytim'alac It uses Metal nostalgia ! it's super effective ! Your G-string is broken !

[@yagami999913]

Blast beats and pokemon, two of my favorite things in one video ! EPIC !

[@VinceMouse]

Cynthia may take a place in many people's nightmares, but this shit terrified me when it started blasting out of the GBC speakers.

[@JGuitaristJones]

I will never get tired of RichaadEB pokemon covers. This is great!

[@AmbiambiSinistrous]

FREAKED OUT when I saw this in my subscription box. Thank you so much for doing a full cover of this track!!

[@ericwilliams538]

That is bad ass!!! Thats coming from a pure metal head!!!!

[@RoPanuganti]

confirmed lance went to wisconsin

[@RoPanuganti]

the 2nd half of this cover is like teasing your future original album

[@notrachelable]

Ro Panuganti *weeps in a corner* original EP when

[@YoungSlim51]

This is pretty much what I heard in my head when I battled red! Easily one of the most epic battles and battle themes in the game!

[@daylanwhitleymusic]

Just a thought, but somehow remix this with Holy Diver, Killswitch Engage version. Would be crazy epic

[@TheCreepypro]

badass

[@scamlikely12]

This cover went hard loved the theme playing against Red 🔥

[@CloudWalkingMole]

RichaardEB: ...............

[@jarredbaca8112]

Sickkkkk 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@OneRadicalDreamer]

Ngl this is how I thought it sounded as a kid. Thank you for capturing that mood.

[@toddrenstrom5720]

The absolute BEST song from any Pokemon game ever, IMO... damn man, this cover is intense, love it!!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@riflemanm16a2]

Possibly the best pokemon cover ever. Holy crap, great job.

[@tyrannosanctum8296]

AAAAWESOME, man! I love this theme, and your remix is sooo epic! Thanks for your hard work!

[@BaaarisaKirisame]

Pleasantly surprised to see no mention of Dusttale

[@connerallen3394]

0:00 - 0:21 The realization. It’s him. Red… 0:21 - 0:45 …IS THAT A LEVEL 80 PIKACHU?!? 0:45 - 1:04 those are some sharp leaves and whippy vines, Venusaur 1:04 - 1:26 This is the God of the Squirtle Squad 1:26 - 1:45 …Didn’t expect that Espeon to kick my ass like that 1:45 - 2:10 MY GOD does this Snorlax ever just die?? 2:10 - 2:25 This is the most terrifying Charizard I have ever seen

[@alexdrake90]

Everything seems to be going wrong in life and then this comes out and makes me feel awesome. Thank you so much!

[@irontomato3835]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

[@TheMissMousey]

LMAO HOW DO YOU FORGET THIS ONE IT'S SO GOOD for real this is great, this song lends itself so well to the style already and your works is always good

[@belialthesavagedemonking1985]

I waited so long for this... *NOW ITS HERE HELL YES RICHAADEB!*

[@Dessro]

I've been waiting for this for so long

[@Solemn_Dullahan]

those first few opening chords always give me goosebumps, amazing job dude

[@DrRosenPihnoos]

9 year old me "He.... Killed my starter.. WHAT DO I DO NOW?!" the ptsd is strong right now

[@87Gaming]

Classic choice. Would love to see you do Final Hours from Majora's Mask with this kind of intensity!

[@Sparrow-Music]

Best cover I've seen done of this by far.

[@xxpiexx90]

This will forever be the best championship music out of all the pokemon games. I don’t care what anyone says

[@GattoriSancho]

its super effective

[@Rowrin]

Beating Lance only to realize after becoming the League Champion that Red remained is still one of the greatest boss twists.

[@zentuber6795]

Now do Cynthia's theme LUL

[@javinaches]

YES PLEASE

[@papabillydeth4723]

LittleVMills has already done all of these songs

[@assasin1396]

YES!!!

[@okapi_q]

He did it LUL

[@ghostamity5116]

THE champion

[@Fer-pw9gp]

A really perfect song turned into something WAY beyond excenellent. Beautiful.

[@AuroraFirestorm]

This is my favorite song from the old Pokemon. Props to you for covering it! I'd love to hear you do those rolling up-and-down notes at the start though, haha! (Edit: I thought this was the song from Red/Blue. Whoops. Still great though!)

[@Imperius_Rex_753]

Bro is Metal Type specialist!

[@Werwurm42]

your covers are the best i've ever found! keep up the good work! :D

[@hadokenexe]

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT I thought I'd seen the last of Lance remixes with BW2, god DAMN this is good! I love the drums, gerat job!

[@AlefSousa017]

Yaaas ! Awesome, Rich !

[@mortex85]

Best Pokemon song ever ♥

[@biscuitracing6014]

I'd like to hear this continually for about 15-30 minutes, this cover kicked ass! Love it!

[@icegold91]

OMG, I think this the best remix of this theme I ever thought !!! So epic

[@NightmareSnake]

OH GOD YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@optimusprune9500]

Legendary is the best description I can give for this man's handiwork

[@dragonlordblazer13]

A kids game had no right to have a song that hit so hard, I still hear that Rain Dance kicking in during the first part of the song

[@nicholasgroenewold8133]

Why did I just have to find this today, why didn’t I 6 months ago? ITS AMAZING!

[@Actorbass]

This is not a cover. This is the literal music pounding through my head when my last Pokémon is poisoned, I’m out of potions, my batteries are running low, I haven’t saved recently, and class starts in five minutes.

[@FeelsDankNaM]

Almost 4 years and this still fukin SHREDS

[@Zequi91]

Toda vez que eu ouço esse tema me deixa todo arrepiado.

[@tonetodt4367]

É verdade. Eu me lembro de passar a caverna até encontrar o Red no gameboy, e ele me mandar incríveis "...". Foi um dos "chefes" mais emocionantes que já enfrentei nos joguinhos.

[@GBS4893]

Fun fact: Lance is named Peter in the french version which is a name we never use, at least in europe. I always assumed it was just the name he had in english.

[@snafutari8799]

This is beautiful why haven't I heard of you? Def subbing for this.

[@GavHensleyRL]

So happy you did this one! Well done!

[@Zanctarian]

YAS!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!!!

[@Ramstodon]

Te la pokemamaste, esta súper chingon, felicidades, hermano! 👏

[@tngneko9800]

GODD VERSION!

[@RYANplanche]

OMFG !!!

[@justanerd9719]

Lance is still one of my favorite Elite Four members after all this time! And Red is the best overall!

[@Moonlord2193]

Lance was champion in g/s/c/HG/SS

[@SilverAceOfSpades]

I arranged this in my metal playlist so it plays right after your Lancer Deltarune remix lol

[@sciverzero8197]

Of all the various battle themes in pokemon history, Lance/Red will always be the one I think of when I imagine 'the final battle'

[@AbelionEnJoY]

Finally.. The master of metal covers Lance's theme !!

[@justinbarton8808]

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!

[@julvonnaknight5788]

Dude you rock out loud man! Nice job!

[@Xeohelios1004]

Yes! Perhaps my favorite champion song of all! Fantastic!

[@gamemusicband1602]

It's so cool ! I will respect you !!

[@brian-with-a-nadinojinn4140]

Just about to beat a champion league again in my Omega Ruby when this was uploaded, perfect timing.

[@Mephiles200108420]

Great work as usual. The percussion in particular is amazing.

[@kedrak90]

Wow that stuff is amazing. I played silver as a kid and you just transported me to another time. (I hate to make you realize but the games were gsc and not gse Edit: it is correct in the thumbnail but not in the video)

[@M.A.R.S.]

The best Pokémon battle theme ever. Period.

[@holdenk380]

I've waited long for this moment

[@misspurdy27288]

Richaad. buddy. One title. Just one title. Border of life.

[@davidwhiting1761]

I knew I was in for a good time when this showed up in my feed.

[@ShaneSteward]

Badass and heavy man. This is wicked
