That's The Way I Like It... For Metal Harbor - Crush 40 (SKA Punk Cover) Ft.

[@catfoodzplz]

Oh my god, that alto saxophonist took my soul to a whole other plane with that performance

[@thecornmaster]

That, my friend, is the power of Patrick Bartley, head of J-Music Ensemble. Honestly one of the greatest saxophonists of our time, in my opinion.

I was literally talking to my brother the other day about SA2 soundtrack and how metal harbor was my favorite cause it sounds like Ska. Stop reading my mind!

[@ulharr]

Keep reading their mind! This rules

[@M0NK3Y42]

I always thought it was ska. I guess it would be considered big band?

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

@@M0NK3Y42 Metal harbor is just a pop punk song with horns lol. Ska is a genre definited by its rhythm (specifically rhythms based off it's parent genres of Mento and Calypso.) It's transformed throughout the years obviously, but it's all based around the danceable rhythm, which the original doesn't have. Big band is a term to describe jazz ensembles with huge horn sections (typically from the swing era, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxes, sometimes more depending)

[@M0NK3Y42]

@@SkaTuneNetwork YO, music lesson from Ska Tunes himself. That's awesome. Thanks for the info man. Appreciate it.

[@crabman3144]

Now we just need to mod this into the actual game. Don't know how I missed this until now!

[@Pablo360able]

I recently got back into this game, going for all the emblems (except "all A rank" because fuck that), and it's not just city escape - all of these stages are more well-designed than I gave them credit for in a flippant conversation over dinner at a friend's house a year ago. Except the mech levels. And the treasure hunt levels in space. And the fixed camera. And some of the postgame platforming for the hidden Chao. And the fact that everything is controlled by the B button. And the dialogue timing. But other than that it's an absolute masterpiece. Anyway this arrangement has none of those problems.

[@jetblackriver]

I haven't felt this much serotonin since I played Metal Harbor for the first time in 2002

[@arthurmalavasic6788]

That big rich horn section slaps so fucking hard.

It wasn't only me!

[@young_cheeseburger]

Thought it was gonna turn into a mashup ngl

[@reloadpsi]

Yep, that raised my eyebrow.

[@Dudewas]

Holy f*** I just cried from how beautiful this was I neeeeed more of this for sure

[@MoonEnvoy]

This is the one I always come back to, I've been a fan of yours for a very long time but this may just be your best work. The soul from the sax and your extremely skilled multi-instrumental ability, just...chef's kiss.

[@TomatoGhost]

Loved that Sonic Adventure 2 dipped it's toe in a little bit of ska that you managed to bring out in full force and fully realised. Absolutely brilliant.

[@alexpfeifle879]

This song was such a hit! I still look it up to listen to it

[@niaschim]

My Heart = Captured

[@hazelgrace5760]

I’ve never wanted anything more than this

[@bgiv2010]

The smoothest of jazz combined with the "pick it up"-est of ska!

[@hugoflores1093]

Metal Harbor is my favorite level in the entire series, and you good sir made it even better

[@clickthoughts5248]

This absolutely murdered me, thank you so much

[@sanzoTravels]

Ska is the music we need.

[@GrouchyGander]

Fave stage and tune from the game, now in one of my fave genres. Hell yes!

[@MrOliva123]

Chills! If there ever were a remake of Sonic 2? This is it!

[@slurmgee3358]

Fucking Bravo! I am loving this. Thank you Skatune Network!

[@mastanvx]

THAT OUTRO SONG WAS AMAZING, INSTANT SUBSCRIBE

[@xCodeXANA]

One of my favorite Sonic tracks with one of my favorite genres. 🤘🏻

[@dabbzee]

man when your description said he destroyed it on alto i was all "dope hell yea i love me some good alto" and then this absolute monstrosity BLEW ME AWAY holy shit that was some straight FLAAAME

[@duncanallaire2392]

God, just played this level, this cover is everything I could've wanted

[@duncanallaire2392]

Hey, me a year ago, how was metal harbour? Glad you enjoyed it bud.

[@MelohRush]

Ferb I know what we're gonna do today. Make the world's largest television to play Sonic Adventure 2 on

[@Spearmph2]

Omega Chao Garden

[@Gamma5232]

Every few years, my brother and I will play through Adventure and Adventure 2. So, this hits the right spot on the happy scale! Idk if it's been suggested, but it'd be super rad to hear "Be Cool, Be Wild, And Be Groovy" from Adventure in your style.

[@lilbeanb0i634]

Id kill to hear that alto sax in the background of the saxophonist shot tho

[@luismagallanes2371]

What a god tier remix! Great job guys, really enjoyed it.

[@silarydoveface]

YT autoplay took me back here-- we need more collabs with Pat! dang, so sick.

[@MetalheadEchidna]

J-music and skatune network? I couldnt ask for anything more, you guys smashed it out of the park!

[@sonicismybrawler]

I fucking love this channel far more than I expected to now that I already subbed to the first video immediately and then found this in the next video. One of my favorite video game songs ever and it got Ska-Punk'd. This is beyond amazing

[@theemightymuffin]

FOR THE LOVE OF SKA COULD YOU PLEASE DO 'THE SPEED OF SOUND'?! DANG dude this made my morning today. Thank you for existing!♡♡ starting my morning with this everyday!

[@shrekstacy]

You don't realize how long I've waited for a ska cover of this song omg I fucking love you

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

This is literally the most perfect game song that needed a ska cover lol nice dudes!

[@gabe425]

More. Punk. Ska. I fucking love this guy

[@SunkySilly]

This track has always been a Ska song at heart, you guys absolutely crushed it! Now... That's the way I like it!

[@pheebius42]

the song is beyond awesome but lets also appreciate that dope ass tshirt

[@CigEconomy]

Last cover I expected and I'm so happy

[@m.sepich]

I heard that city escape in the first part of the trombone solo :)

[@dominicsaavedra5113]

Metal harbor but more ska than it already was. I wish i could double like this video :p

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

Despite the original having a ska vibe, it really was just a punk song with horns, really

[@dominicsaavedra5113]

@@SkaTuneNetwork Haha now you're just splitting hairs XD

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

Am i, though? Ska is a genre based out of it's rhythm. It heavily uses emphasis on offbeats, and the original really has nothing ska about it lol. Ska is a genre that pre-dates punk by about 20 years, the original really is just a punk song with horns lol

[@xxProjectJxx]

@@SkaTuneNetwork I mean I'm not gonna argue with u, but they sound similar enough to my non-musician brain lol

[@vivianviolet]

oh hell yes I love the metal harbor theme

[@Nyorane]

OMGG!! B-e-a-utiful work!!! Wowww, the sax 🥰🥰😍😍 Ahhhh

[@Nyorane]

Also props to you, main dude!!! Playing all those instruments like it's nothing, and having fun while you're doing it!! I love your fit & decor as well, super awesome and good vibes!! 🥰💖💖💖

[@choicedecision]

I want to wake up to this every morning!

[@Anu_Sol]

Damn that alto saxophone player is good.

[@herrice3227]

Perfect cover of one of my favourite Sonic themes! Excellent work!

[@treefroggy]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@dylanbenitez5204]

I see you trying to sneak Bubblegum K.K. in there. You tried to pull a sneaky on us, but I was on it!!

[@NutHusky]

HELL TO THE YEAH DUDE!! Honestly, a song that I think would be great as a Ska/Punk cover would be Rolling Lonely Star from Katamari Damacy.

[@Elizabethcantsing]

OMG PLEASE

[@mastermediocre4483]

ROYAL RAINBOW!!!

[@ItsZebulon]

HOT DAMN THAT'S THE BEST SUGGESTION FOR A SKA COVER EVER

[@mgspada]

Not sure if you have been made aware since you left this comment but Skatsune Miku put out an INCREDIBLE ska cover of that song

[@xenstroke]

This brightened up my morning. Thank you!

[@ObjectionSoS]

My favorite SA2 song, by far. Nailed it.

[@walterrice5942]

Ska-y punk to ska sax heaven. Yeeeeeessssss

[@IanPageEchols]

I’m continually impressed by the tracks on this channel. This one was great! Love the alto sax part! This is motivation for me to practice more and start recording tracks to learn some more song structure.

[@ZoSo_x]

Metal Harbor is my fave tune on SA2 because I always thought it sounded so punk, but I never thought how amazing it would sound in ska style 🤯 love it! 👏

[@jakobwithak13]

This song was built for a ska cover. Incredible as always!

[@epicgamner1139]

This is more sonic than sonic himself dear lord y’all are wildin

Thanks to this song, I discovered this BANGER of a cover and your OTHER AMAZING songs and cover, instantly fell in love with your jazzy performance, love it and subbed! c:

wow, this fucking rules. Pat rules! funny enough, i always thought the original song reminded me of old WATU a bit. and i also got that shirt.

Okay Giant Steps collab when tho... Great to see Pat here! You two nailed it!

Awesome job man! Cheers from Colombia! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

That Bassline! great work on the song guys :)

[@OngakuVA]

I see the City Escape bit you did on the trombone solo 👀👀👀 Fantastic job bro!

[@mrsteamie4196]

I've always only ever heard of Ska in a setting where it was joking about being awful... But this is amazing. I may have just found the genre my brain lives in much of the time

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

Yeah. People sadly joke on it without taking the time to appreciate how diverse the genre is. I have a playlist in the bio if you wanna dive deep

[@mrsteamie4196]

@@SkaTuneNetwork oh damn you responded?! Can do, thanks for the playlist! And hey man, you're damn inspiring -- every one of those instruments you play, you imbue it with such energy that it just lightens the room. Thank you for your art, man.

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

@@mrsteamie4196 i appreciate, thank you!

[@jacobaobert]

ways felt this song was primed for a ska cover. some of the instrumentals from Reel Big Fish's "Dateless Losers" always reminded me of it.

[@PUNKwithFUNK]

I never knew I wanted this Colab but now that it’s here I’m happy.

[@meleeruler]

Dang, good pic for the track. That saxophone is also mad clean.

Yooooo this track gets NO LOVE I'm so happy this exists now

[@josephausberryii3926]

Man, you don't know how much this means to me. One of my favorite themes on one of my favorite stages on a favorite childhood game, Metal Harbor was literally my first introduction to ska. To now grow up and see my two favorite black musicians do such and amazing collaboration on this song that's so dear to my heart really touches me. ♥️ You guys are doing amazing things and I hope you never stop creating. 😊

[@ephraimx7]

Yooooo!! you and Patrick killed it on this one holy cow!

[@FishingtheSkyxd]

idk why but i played this level a ton of times as a kid

[@jenmarks]

i'm actually in TEARS, you guys are incredibly talented!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@supertimerip]

Yes! I've always imagined a ska version of this music from SA2 ever since I was 13. Thank you!

[@stackingdamage7340]

One of absolute top tracks from SA2 that everybody knows is great but nobody talks about. Awesome cover, so much energy and variation

[@ケイリakaケモイ]

HELL YEAH! ALTO SAX! GOD DAMMIT. This sounds so natural it might as well be the original.

[@SKPhoto816]

My Lord this collab was incredible!

everything about this is delightful

[@diceb0mb]

Fantastic cover! Here's hoping for a ska cover of Sky Deck from SA1

[@John_Barrett]

Just incredible. As always.

[@davidfrend]

This song was probably my first exposure to ska-ish music. Hearing this cover makes me indescribably happy! Thank you so much Jer!

[@juneglave5014]

You weren't kidding when you said Pat absolutely DESTROYED it

[@eppoif1]

I came here from a commented retweet to this video saying that this cover is what helped reminding them what happiness and joy was. And THEY AIN'T LYING!! I SMILED AND GRINNED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. YOU BOTH ARE AMAZINGLY TALENTED AND THIS MADE MY EARS SO HAPPY TO HEAR. I'm probably going listen to this all day. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

[@quckneasy]

This works SO Well. admittedly I was hesitant to see the solo on a sax but WOW. the energy is still there. great job to everyone involved

SKA works so well for this level theme, love the outro too.
