Silver Surfer NES Main Theme - GaMetal

Possibly the coolest NES song ever. Silver Surfer Main Theme from... well, Silver Surfer!
If you're a fan of 8-bit and retro VG music, you're likely familiar with the Follin brothers and how mind blowing their songs were. The main theme from the NES game Silver Surfer is no exception. I'd personally say it's one of the best NES themes of all time.
It's just too bad the game was, depending how you looked at it, bad or insanely difficult. Also the constant shooting sound effect made the songs rather choppy and hard to hear.
Regardless, the Silver Surfer Main Theme is still very popular amongst old VG music fans. I've been wanting to do this one for a while so here it is. Enjoy!

Far superior (at least, IMO) 2020 version is now up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5fFfKKfZpakja8

[@gizmobies6]

i like this one more, plus this theme made me a fan of yours.

[@DerpDerp3001]

Do C64 Tetris! I know that this song is pretty obscure so it would possibly never be asked enough for, but it would be nice if you could do that 26 minute behemoth. I’d prefer for you to reply.

[@Avel_runner]

I still feel the same old goosebumps I felt when I first listened to this version many, many years ago. This is going to be my forever favorite, even though everything you make is just marvelous!

[@Mitsuraga]

I prefer the older one, myself.

[@Chaosrunepownage]

If Silver Surfer and Iron Man teamed up, would they be alloys?

[@hankmesker]

First half second I though it was stupid, then I was laughing my ass off.

[@mimikthemix4921]

The iron Surfer. Maybe...

[@reginaldhall7379]

An Earth metal joke!......Clever! Lol

[@deceseze]

one of them would be dead

[@nthgth]

Quick Google search suggests they don't produce a very useful alloy. Oh well lol

[@karnovrpg]

My face melted faster than it takes to die in Stage 1.

[@realmczappa]

karnovrpg that's pretty damn fast

[@Gakusangi]

That this man has only 11k views is a crime. The talent far exceeds the fame.

[@scaf_007vs3]

and now 7 years later.. no introduction needed!

[@DynaDASH]

You didn't just pick a random song, the Follin brothers made such genius wizardry for the 8-bit console, and usually with wonderful progressive composing (Solstice, Arcade's Revenge). Wonderful, just wonderful.

[@LDs_Keys]

Downright killed it! This is and forever will be my driving music when I'm going 1000mph through the stratosphere.

[@Xhinryuu]

Thank you sir for makin me legitemately laugh today xD

[@yakusodrawsstuff]

XD

[@VeryUselessPerson]

Don't forget your sun lotion, son. And get a blanket - it gets chilly up there.

[@VunderGuy]

Yeah... try casually over a MILLION TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT in the stratosphere, because you do realize Silver Surfer is that casually FTL, right?

[@timothywertner7427]

"Silver Surfer, are you a bad enough dude to save the universe?"

[@Jax49]

lol

[@crossproduct42]

Most convincing subscription request ever.

[@Tehwinstar]

If not probably the best arrangement of this song I ever heard!

[@SpectralSlugger]

Well hes goin back to it sometime soon

[@Medz98194]

You have absolutely no idea how long I've been waiting for somebody to cover this! This is quite possibly the greatest videogame song ever composed, and nobody knows about it! This was everything I hoped it would be and more! Probably your best cover to date! Amazing job!

[@lucianomatrix]

Yes, you said right, thats what I'm looking for years and now it's here!

[@rachelectroDC-84]

Me too! Between hearing this, the Contra and the F-Zero soundtracks I am freaking thrilled! 👏

[@duffman18]

Tim Follin did the music for this game right? It's insane the quality of the game songs he wrote. They're all masterpieces. Go search "plok beach music" on the KZbin search bar. You will be _BLOWN_ _AWAY_ by how good it sounds, and you'll wonder how on earth Tim Follin managed to get those sounds out of just the SNES

[@sharkattacklou9301]

*"I CAN'T TOUCH THAT RED POT!?"*

[@skylinefever]

You can't touch anything so don't fuck around!

[@TheLastLineLive]

I just knew this had to have a metal cover, this theme song is too badass to not have one. Great work btw.

[@MaxBrains]

Holy hell, I don't think I've ever seen anyone do THAT with a guitar.

[@MrKennyWilliams]

Perfect Cover. You took the obvious Joe Satriani vibes the original song had and took it to it's logical conclusion, some of the most frantic fretwork I have ever seen.

[@Rubberman202]

Tim Follin was a video game composing GOD and never got the recognition he deserved.

[@TheColliQ]

YOU MADE ME SO FUCKING HAPPY WITH THIS DUDE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR MONTHS FOR A SOLID COVER OF THIS THANK YOU

[@karldilkington8587]

I've been listening to you for a while and I know this one is 5 years old but it's still my favorite.

[@AcceleratorUlz]

15 seconds into the video and I've subscribed. I don't need to see any other videos. This one earned it.

[@lmeza1983]

this is top notch, I was thinking about satriani, steve vai and petrucci (g3) while hearing to this. your channel is utterly underrated.

[@redbasher636]

He looks so different! It's amazing to see how far you've come, GaMetal!

[@Furber216]

It saddens me that I've never heard this amazing song until now, thanks for covering it.

[@Hikaru_SR-Omega]

H-.......... *HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS!!!!!?????* Dude, seriously, I've looked through your videos and somehow missed this. I've wanted this for YEARS... *YEARZZZUH!!* I love this!

[@Sososaure]

C'est une musique qui se prête totalement au Heavy metal ! C'est tellement bien joué, j'adore les gars, c'est péchu, groovy, intense J'adore Bien joué.

[@anthonyrangel7239]

Should be his actual theme when the mcu gets around to him

[@WhoLover]

THIS.

[@thealambrix]

So FREA-KIN' AWSOME, dude! Excellent cover! You blown my ears away! \m/

[@Conkreet908]

I knew this song would be great with actual instruments.... Good Job sir

[@realmczappa]

Andy Rivera "actual instruments"? 😐

[@tailsfox45]

as opposed to the nes's 5 channel soundcard

[@Jason97]

"Silver Surfer, more like *SILVER* *SHIT* "

[@KilosFoxo]

if you hate silver surfer why are you here? also why not *SHIT*ver surfer

[@coocoostryker]

@@KilosFoxo you notice the quotation marks?

[@KilosFoxo]

@@coocoostryker no i didn't my 2nd point still stands though

[@MegaDarkness5000]

Holy shit......... That was awesome.

[@EYTPS]

I'm just curios, have you ever beat any level of Surfer Surfer? I've beat three of them without save states or game genie codes!

[@NefariousWes]

Dude, this cover is killer! Love how you change it up and do your own thing with it later on. And the acoustic rendition. Awesome! I'm gonna be making a review for this game soon and was wondering if I could use this in my video. I would of course credit you, plug your channel and all that good stuff. Let me know, and keep these badass covers coming!

[@BudofSharon]

Hopefully this isn't too late, but to answer your question for this, or future, videos of yours: www.jonnyatma.com/faq/

[@hankmesker]

It's easy to learn to play like this guy than to beat the nes game. (just joking mates) This channel is awesome. You have a new subscriber.

[@ffburger101]

I heard the nes song. Thought "Huh, what would this sound like on guitar." Searched. Found this. Watched the whole thing. Jaw-dropping talent. Instantly subscribed. Dear lord, this is an utterly amazing channel. Godly guitar playing

[@guitaro5000]

Thank you for this!!!!

[@david02129]

This is probably the only cover i've ever seen do it justice. Fucking damn

[@jabelsjabels]

THE ACOUSTIC VERSION AT THE END!! Love it!

[@diegobronsteinlay2823]

You are amazing!!!!! One of the best NES OST you made it even better!!!!! Holy turd!!!!!

[@BurnRoddy]

WOW! Galactus is some pretty vane individual when you get to meet him. Galactus: - Protip my herald, within the vastness of the universe, nor man or beast, from any planet, from any star, from this realm or any other your mind can't even begin to understand my might is absolute, for I... I'M FABULOUS!

[@bryantzamora604]

I absolute LOVE the way you play this song. Damn, you're a super talented musician.

[@thefungusfriend563]

Damn, even the title theme is this awesome.

[@NTSTS0]

amazing cover of an amazing song

[@killingtime4444]

I always go listen to the original for those songs i don't know before listening to the onslaught of badass, that way I can appreciate all the work that goes into these.....and this time speechless. Also waddle dee.

[@GuiltyGearRockYou]

Jonny! can you PLEASE do an epic metal version of Fire Emblem - "Together We Ride" ?? If you do a metal arrange of this great video game track, it would be far behind of the epic of epicness!!

[@at0micl0bster]

it's in his NES Medley 1 on his site

[@GuiltyGearRockYou]

I mean doing it again with his new equipement for a high quality arrangement like those nowadays!!

[@GuiltyGearRockYou]

just awesome man... your arrangements are always so good...

[@NesmerII]

ROCK OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hosseruk]

Top notch as always Jonny

[@diegot143]

You fucking hit the nail on the head.

[@GeekNArtist]

Whoa, dude! You are quite amazingly talented!!! It takes a really good set of fingers to cover this amazing tune!

[@methodunknownthemethodclon9253]

stylistically, the percussion isn't what I, personally, would have hoped for but great job!

[@ArachCobra]

And yet another masterpiece added to your channel. Rock on.

[@ILoveHandles]

Excellent shredding, dude. Keep killing it!

[@lucianomatrix]

One of my favorite games, very hard to play but the music was a very good rewarding! Fantastic job, I always wanted to hear this by a true guitar band, and you made it perfectly! Thanks for remember the good old times of playing nes!

[@NihiliusZero]

The bass line.... dayum. Very god work ! (y)

[@HaloofBlood1]

no pun intended

[@blakfloyd5602]

Very nice! Clever editing and extra style points for having bass and keyboards in the cover as well. One small gripe. Just make the keyboards louder next time. I found them very hard to pick out of the mix. Regardless, I enjoyed the hell out of this and thanks for making such an awesome cover.

[@renegarcia4943]

one of my best childhood games by far even it was so freaking hard to beat but anyways bro hands down awesome job

[@Mephiles200108420]

Your work is just absolutely amazing. You deserve at least one million times more subscribers than you have now.

[@LuLu-pb2ox]

This makes life worth living.

[@davidtestone1936]

If you actually featured your songs on iTunes, then I would still download them, even if each song is great enough to be put at a $5 price each. Great work!

[@NekoNekoKainushi]

Oh...my....fucking god..... Just....Just....amazing...it's really blow my mind.

[@bradchervel5202]

This is fucking incredible...what a killer song.

[@johngower2208]

Sooooo good. Bravo, sir!!

[@SiegMx]

Simply Majestic. You're a God of Rock!!

"With repeat business like that I could be selling propane Galaxy wide."

[@xk2102]

Amazing isn't enough. Thanks for sharing this!

[@sadriposting]

GOD DAMN THIS SOUNDS AMAZING

[@Sentinello]

Please do more songs from this game!!! There’s a few more chapters in this epic waiting to be told.

[@Pyromuffin]

dude the acoustic part at the end is blowing my mind

[@KiyotheConquerer]

I was actually considering suggesting that you do a cover of this for weeks. The end result is epic. Though... honestly? Dat acoustic version. I'd LOVE to hear a full version of that, when you have the time.

[@cheatcode5365]

Can you please do pictionary title theme?

[@groovy_9633]

Mohammad Dwikurnia Apriadi ey boss he did it

[@Neis999]

ZeXal Zero and it was amazing.

[@labeldestrel8609]

its like 10 seconds bro hahahahaa

[@matthulu]

I would have suggested this for the NES Medley 2 if I wasn't late to the drawing, but I am much happier now that it is its own remix.

[@mrgameandwatch21]

Awesome Effects, and Awesome Skills!!!

[@SwowChowsk]

Holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit (This is very very good)

[@Bab738]

Amazing cover!!! If only the game wasn't this hard!

[@DegobaSystem-ox1ig]

Yea its been about a year since I've been back here! Noboby dives face first into their guitar, and rips it quite like this guy!!

[@Vincentalbot]

That intro rhythm is awesome.

[@iratepirate3896]

Absolutely bloody amazing.

[@braunstein5645]

[@lordeli8866]

Nastalgia is what this gave me, loved this game and all of its music

[@CheapPopMan]

Wow. O_O That was pretty amazing.

[@ivankaproth-joslin8428]

Any chance of putting out the acoustic version? Love that part ❤

[@renegarcia4943]

dude omg nailed it

[@BinaryCounter]

HOLY SHIT. AMAZING

[@purplegill10]

I swear, nothing looks quite as good as a kiesel guitar with those custom paint jobs

[@saxxy318]

Ok. This is awesome.

[@im0bug]

Awesome! すばらしい✨

[@hexkwondo]

best rendition of the song hands down!

[@lucianomatrix]

Did you consider playing a cover of the title Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, of the Super Nes? It's very good rocking roll music, with a heavy metal style, its one of my favorite game music too.

[@shotokanclau]

Where can I get the acoustic cover man? It's just AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@antonioaguilarm.960]

Outstanding !!!

[@gigaganon]

fucking epic

[@alejandrorostran1102]

Ive always liked that acoustic version at the end. Is there a full version of it?

[@gustavosimoes281]

you absolute fucking MAD LAD!

[@Goreface69]

Excellent.

[@NTSTS0]

yo the two handed tapping part wtf lol

[@theslowestpizza6762]

Yo Johnny, speaking of the Follin bros, could you do the theme Akrillic from Plok? Really great music and would be much appreciated. Just a reccomendation, of course.

[@mlwy45]

Game: hard as balls. Metal remix: hold my blood beer....

[@christophercroft936]

Amazing

[@RookSchelp]

This is awsome!

[@manfedmedviq]

I'm guessing the 16 dislikes are people who experienced traumatic flashbacks of their multiple deaths on level 1 while hearing the music
