Super Mario World: CASTLE THEME || Metal Cover by RichaadEB

[@masterj3344]

I love how making a metal version of the castle theme tends to turn it into a doom track.

[@chaddionne2605]

So true

[@jacoblepley9966]

... It was made to be...

[@dutybound2211]

E6M1 - The dragon from below

[@KTF0]

Kinda wish someone would do a black metal track

[@youtubeisawebsite7484]

which doom song does this sound like

[@kingbertskorner]

Some people have made “heavier”, but 6 years later and this is still the darkest cover of this song and it’s always exactly what I’m looking for when I want to hear a cover of the Castle Theme (which is frequently)

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Leave your Yoshis at the door!

[@MatthewPacheco]

LOL

[@ToxicxEternity]

are you telling me *removes shades* a human can play those taps?

[@RichaadEB]

i actually got my mom to play those theyre too hard for me

[@brendan2.085]

ToxicxEternity fool robert is not a human

[@SirBladewind]

*mother of god* it can be done!?

[@HurtboxTV]

momaadEB covers when?

[@Jodaspa]

israel rodrigues have a tutorial for the theme tapping...

[@tfwnoyandere]

2:05 the minor second drone there is so sick

[@TheSuperlicius]

Easily one of your best covers ever made. Perfectly balanced and true to the ominous fear and dread of the original theme.

[@seraph82]

@1:06 full-body chillbump eruption -- superbly interpreted

[@CrysisMusic]

Incredible how u can play insanely, have amazing mixing, lighting, colour correction and meme like a meme god. Master of all trades

[@wolvensoul9147]

I misread that as color erection... My eyes are bad.

[@CrysisMusic]

Valithin Drathyr he sure colours my erection too

[@bloodscar246]

Woah there

[@cellarforever3258]

A jack of all trades

[@Chim_Zee]

I really wanna emphasize how on point that mixing it.

[@brotherdust]

I hereby declare: your cover is best on YT.

[@kalimari4706]

My favourite theme in the entire Mario franchise ! awesome job :)

[@outragequitter5027]

I always knew that super Mario world got me into metal lol. Always loved this song. Bad ass interpretation

[@tdark987]

The change you made to the chords at the start really makes me want to hear SMW’s castle theme mixed with Zelda 3’s dark world dungeon theme.

[@tdark987]

To be exact, I mean starting from 0:21. I think it’s more down to the rhythm than anything else; 1:10 continues that feeling.

[@Shadycicada]

Does this amazing piece of art even exist or am I in the Museum of Non-Existent Art again

[@barackobama4838]

Neither. your having a fever dream 🙂

[@davidmathis3555]

Hot take BOTH

[@Rafix]

this remix remembered me the good times of mario flash games thats have a nice castle remix nostalgia

[@TheGamerGuardian1]

MY THRONE! MY THRONE ROOOOM! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS PLUMBERS!

[@uniquehandleohsocool]

THAT DINOSAUR'S GOING ON A CRASH DIET

[@pikasalt]

That's mama luigi to you! *wheezes*

[@The_Queen_Chrysalis]

And this is why Yoshi can't go with you into the castle levels.

[@bakerXderek]

Im loving these man, such good comps on these covers !

[@r-i-v-v]

Damn, I didn't think I'd see you of all people here. I guess everyone likes music, so why not! Cheeah

[@justmutantjed]

This song was absolutely made for a metal rendition. Great job! Rocked my socks off!

[@ChristianRichardson]

THIS IS SICK! I always love hearing those signature Richaad tom roll intros, and this cover was just non-stop groovy throughout

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

Good choice with the tremolo/Dark Hole Sun effect. Was awesome and added a different sound to just tight guitar.

[@RichaadEB]

hot damn you're right, i didn't even realize I was going for that sound. It's verb, delay, chorus, tremolo and some slightly wet pitch shifting on a slightly dirty lead tone.

[@Lonech]

Wait, do you mean Black Hole Sun? What is "Dark Hole Sun"?

[@blakeirvin3011]

@@Lonech Just like with the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, they changed it to avoid offending anyone. *trollololol*

[@brandonskare2589]

It’s actually crazy how unbelievably clean this sounds especially on subwoofers 😱😱

[@dizzydglizzy8546]

are you kidding me rn this is the best thing ive ever heard. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE

[@jhun045]

the best progressive castle theme!

[@Altamyr]

ur sick taps are doin me a frighten

[@AHmusic]

THE CHUGS, THE TAPS, THE YESSSSSS

[@StevenMorris]

Yes~ I freakin love this song. Plus that black hole sun flanger sound in that lead is awesome :D

[@murilo561]

AMAZING!!!!

[@coolcatdrummer]

Dude amazing job! This is the best version of this theme by far. I was surprised by this. Most people that cover this song doesn’t do a very good job. You did everything right!

[@candlelitsmiles]

Awesome job! I like how you stayed true to the original with your metal twist and still made it sound interesting even when it probably would’ve sounded boring, and only truly adding the solo at the end.

[@dannymusic]

Whew. You make those arpeggios look too easy!

[@stevenbahena5956]

I came to see the part at 1:06 and I must say you did not disappoint. Although its easier tapping it, I can only imagine how hard it would be alternate picking that part instead of tapping 😱! Great work man.

[@Ventedplot8823]

I didnt come see that part

[@stevenbahena5956]

@@Ventedplot8823 im not sure i understand

[@Ventedplot8823]

@@stevenbahena5956 I came to see the whole thing

[@gleft0verz]

Probably one of the fucking SICKEST versions of this, lemme get more classics like this

[@cr4sh3dit]

Man..... you are one of the best at the blades you call guitars. I have followed you since you did that album with ace waters on Toby Fox's undertale and even bought the bandcamp soundtrack, I absolutely love all of your music dude! Please keep doing more. I wish I could play like you, I'm actually trying to learn to play ever since I started watching you and hope to be close to as good as you one day so thank you for that! Rock on!

[@AlenRiddickMusic]

Just when I thought you couldn't possibly outdo yourself... This is by far the best Castle Theme cover and probably the best cover I heard in a while.

[@EidolonOrpheus]

Cleanest taps outside of a high class bar.

[@Roebey]

Now it’s truly October!

[@gabocarina96]

hey those were some pretty nice taps!! :)

[@TheMissMousey]

man this song lends itself super well to the tone you chose

[@SuperInfinitezero00]

This is one of my all-time favorite video game songs and easily my favorite Mario song.

[@LinusAndKiba]

Not even a metal head but that was absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Also, the photography, lighting and sound are top notch!

[@Karen-pl8kd]

I'm not a metal head either but I appreciate good music and this track was awesome

[@Duhemsounds]

That's a great epic take and yes Chai Kingdom is a beautiful one to work on :)

[@thapenetrationps4469]

Oh... my... fucking... god. My skin is covered in goosebumps. This is amazing, literally one of my favorite nastolgia tracks of my childhood

[@TheCreepypro]

love how much more menacing he made it sound!

[@darkIkarus]

Incredible... It's like it was made for a metal version and you really nailed it. Would love to hear a full version of the SML1 bonus at the end of the video, or even better: a medley!

[@powerchordgamer]

i had imagined how this song would sound as a metal cover, and this nailed what i heard in my head almost exactly! if i practiced guitar more regularly and had recording equipment, i might have beat you to this one XD

[@jcruz821]

I was humming the original theme to my self earlier today and now this comes along. Holy shit it sounds great.

[@karpsmom]

Bought on iTunes. Brilliant choice of cover. I love those arpeggios.

[@BryceNolen]

I got here via Minishcap1’s music suggestions. Honestly never heard any of your stuff but was immediately interested! Keep it up! PS when I first heard this I thought it was one of Artificial Fear’s mixes, awesome sound! Love it!

[@MasterfulKane]

I've been awaiting this day

[@theultimateonejpsx749]

Thank you for tapping into my childhood. Sent chills up my spine the first few notes!

[@jungleboogie78]

That was absolutely mind blowing! Goosebumps allover the place!

[@lordzamasuvegetablackfusio9773]

This gave me goosebumps! This is absolutely Subarashii!!😆👏👏

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

I can't imagine a more fitting arrangement than this for this song - fantastic cover

[@AmandaLabovitz]

Rich you're too good.

[@moonstruckstarlet6607]

another banger from RichaadEB

[@RustoGusto]

If only Nintendo would do a remake of Super Mario World with THIS in it. Hey, I can dream. Very nice, keep up the video game metal covers. I think you have Vomitron and Armcannon beat hands down.

[@a-terrible-fate532]

super mario world castle theme is an awesome song and is perfect for metal.

[@danielhstan9957]

God I would die if I saw this live! Great job bro

[@Gahuboy]

This music, so many memories, and this cover makes it even more epic than it was originally on the Snes =) Really love your covers man, keep up the amazing work =)

[@khatdubell]

Having only one like to give isn't enough for this video....

[@thedrewids7]

Brought a tear to my eye.

[@sparkbag_]

I beg you, please cover "A Hat In Time - Your contract has expired". An amazing song that definitely deserves more love!

[@khatdubell]

Simply amazing.

[@014scorpion]

This is hands down the best cover I've ever heard. It would be a dream come true if you make your version of the final boss theme.

[@siLveRscOpe13x]

Bowser needs a standalone game with THIS as his theme!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

That was fan-fucking-tastic! I never knew you could tap like that! Well I did when I heard Exodus, but this is an exception.

[@DegobaSystem-ox1ig]

Dustie Warings' got the doves on some of his necks too!!!!......I LOVE THAT DUDE!!!!! God Bless Dustie!!!

[@GulagPower]

You just got a new subscriber! You deserve it, brother!!! 10/10

[@nicholasp.3792]

Wow, great stuff. I'm putting this alongside Warinside's version as the best Castle Theme Remixes ever!

[@RaduMetalCore]

Umas das melhores músicas de jogos que escutei, caramba... tanto esse cover quanto a do FamilyJules são formidáveis!

[@cMa7os]

My God... The chills!

[@megaori2852]

I know your main thing you're known for is your guitar work but your drumming is also killer. Plz show those skills in videos too!

[@RoPanuganti]

YES! Weirdly reminds me of a bit of your older arrangement approaches too. And WAT did you do for those taps?!

[@RichaadEB]

two arpeggio patterns tapping back and forth between each other, picked it up from my underbite playthrough a few years back

[@RoPanuganti]

Ah! I was between that or 1/16T delay goings on. Thanks Ricky Martin

[@jnsk1a2b3c]

Awesome job! You did a great job at capturing the mood

Curious, any plans on doing any songs from Pyre? I think Path to Glory would be a great song to hear a more metal cover of. That, and I'd always love to see more fan stuff of Pyre in general.
