Super Metroid - The Jungle Floor (Live Synth Cover)

[@gerarddip]

Holy crap dude now that’s not just hand independence, that’s like individual knuckle independence.

[@rickyricardo4331]

It's amazing how legendary the Nintendo 16-bit era was to where decades later, people can turn simple music tracks into EPIC covers like this!

[@GLASYS]

Thank you! ❤️🙏

[@Aenygma_]

This beat is the best thing to ever come out of a SNES sound chip.

[@jonahkaiguam]

I used to leave my snes with super metroid on at night to play certain songs to sleep to. This just brings back those memories 😊

[@nyrisj]

This is LITERALLY my favorite track from any Metroid game. Nice stuff.

[@GLASYS]

Thanks! Def one of my faves too. It's got such a unique groove to it!

[@nyrisj]

Your video with T-Pain was legendary, do you plan to work with more vocalists? I think you should.

[@GLASYS]

@@nyrisj I would love to - it's been challenging this past year with covid but I hope to do more collabs soon. I like working with people in person way more than virtually :)

[@ricardoteixeiracorrea6437]

So as i. Best metroid song ever.

[@emeramirez4123]

Same here!

Other game companies: "Watch what I can do with a live orchestra." Square Enix: "Watch what I can do with a metal band and an organ." GLASYS: "Hold my Morph Ball."

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

Bro. I owned a Sega Genesis growing up, never even play Metroid. Yet I feel nostalgic anyways, that's how good this is.

[@GLASYS]

Haha oh man that's awesome. I wish I had a Genesis, many great games I missed out on. Thank you!!

[@gregbakerproductions]

You should play it.

[@ax14pz107]

Super Metroid still holds up. It was in that transition period where they finally started figuring out how to make games like that really good.

[@alk3345]

@@ax14pz107 It's funny you say that because Super Metroid was my first ever Metroid experience, so I didn't know what to expect. My initial impressions were "wtf is this? jump and shoot a little pea sized bullet? This is basic af". Then 8 hours later, I'm still playing and absolutely mind-blown by the steady progress and amazing world design. I literally went from "I'm going to return this game" in the first 30 minutes to "This is one of the greatest games of all time"

[@keard558]

[@bluelikekrishna]

You got all but the few combos that only three hands could ever play. Fantastic

[@cameronmoore7675]

YESSSS. Dude, absolutely KILLED it as usual. You really do these legendary tracks justice like no one else can.

You're so kind Cameron! Thanks for the kind words brother 🙏😊

[@jus2havaname2]

This totally reminded me of the impression I had of the SNES sound in the 90s, the WHAT?

[@leandrusi4533]

I wouldve NEVER thought of playing all this LIVE!! yes we can play it with a backing track, or even with a looper, but LIVE??? EVERY PART OF IT? You are amazingly talented, thumbs up and congrats!!!

[@GLASYS]

Hey thanks so much, I appreciate the kind words 😀🙏

[@lettersnstuff]

man something about the super high choral lines in Metroid Series music has always stuck out to me as particularly impactful, like, so far outside a normal human vocal range

[@soylentkubrick]

I've watched this like 20 times now. Favorite Metroid track. Love the hoody too!

[@GLASYS]

So glad you like it Nathan! Thanks so much brother! :) 🙏

[@Dinglebuttz]

This is the most skilled shit I've ever seen. I can't even fathom the hand independence and skill needed to play the drums and effects with the left hand while absolutely slaying the rest of the song with the right. Amazing and masterful job!

[@GLASYS]

Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words and encouragement!

[@legal_z4433]

I keep coming back! Great work

[@justin7599]

Unreal cover... So good! Personally I liked the quick shot of your sound setup!

[@GLASYS]

Thanks Justin, glad you like it! I'll try to do the setup shot more often :)

[@Mitchkit]

Oh yes! Absolutely yes! This is legit one of my favorite songs from the game and you did yet another amazing job covering the soundtrack! Please do keep up the good work as I love it all.

Metroid is my favorite game series of all time and this cover does justice to the original track! You just acquired an instant sub and like! Would love to hear Nightmare's theme (from Metroid Fusion) cover sometime in the future.

[@johnsonmonsen]

If you use part of the palm as a substitute for an whole finger to trigger the half step keys while playing the custom drum pads with the tips it's basically the same as you would have at least 15 fingers in total - it's that simple. That is one way to explain the mystery. The other way is revealing the whole name: GLASYS Fryderyk Amadeus van Bachhovenszt ;-)! Awesome as always, many thanks and all the best :-)!
