the winner by richie kotzen

[@itsdantaylor]

People say 0083 is "Top Gundam" and I see the reason why......BUT that also means that we now need a "Stardust Memory: Maverick" No excuses.

[@Shinigasumi]

0083 is the top Gundam, imo, because Kou Uraki is an interesting main character who doesn't suffer from the plot armor and Mary Sue a number of protagonists suffer from. His sheer dislike and hatred of Anavel Gato, The Nightmare of Solomon, is tangible - you can FEEL it coming from the character. The sheer rage and inept anger when Nina stops him aboard the colony to save Anavel whom she can't let go of (and who is using her) is...like, you can taste it. The series is charged with emotion and is just excellent. The excellent design of the mobile suits and the Albion just adds to all this. I've loved 0083 since the first time I watched it.

[@RyutheWeredragon]

@@Shinigasumi Top Gundam as in "Top Gun" - he's making a joke that if it is, there needs to be another Top Gun-esque Gundam show to followup, much like Top Gun: Maverick.

[@systemshock1139]

You mdan top gundam full burner staring kou at during Gundam unicorn using the byarlent idgf what cannon says make it happen

[@mrcenturies1820]

Something like "Stardust Shockwave", follows Kou after serving his sentence and his reaction to the Titans and AEUG

hummm, when i heard it, i thinked in me as a gundam pilot :V

[@Lolsocialism]

I'm sorry for your loss, my friend. But if there's one piece of advice I can give, it's that this song should reflect how you feel about yourself, not someone else. Be your own burning love. You can't love someone untill you love yourself again.

[@ni6106]

くっそかっこいい。It's very cool voice and arrenge

[@koba0505]

ガンダムの中でこの曲が一番好きだなぁ

[@cyan-1184]

With this song I completely feel like a Mobile Suit pilot, with my GM Command or Ground Type, and I feel how I would like to feel, besides it helps me avoid all the social environment that surrounds me, just by getting into my mind and watching myself pilot the GM as if it were his own anime, where the protagonist does not touch any gundam, not even an MS in a gundam costume, because someone is going to come and tell me "but there is MSth08", but that does not count either because it is also a Gundam with its improvements, I want a series where the protagonist uses a GM mass product in the one-year war and this great song plays, without touching any gundam, they only appear in the background as if they were GMs, that is, the Ground Type

[@legionnaire7179]

So real

[@Apeulu]

The new Gundam film requiem for vengeance kind of fits your description, except it's Zaku pilots and not GMs. The trailer mentions little of the actual Gundam, and even portrays as it a devil as seen by the Zeon pilots.

[@timwirasnik5878]

There is a Shit Ton of Energy in this Track! Awesome!

[@just-tsugo1644]

best one by far

[@GeoRyukaiser]

A straight translation may not have fit with the music. He was likely faced with either butchering the song or rewriting the whole thing and decided the rewrite would make a better product. We may never know, but still, its not like the end product is bad.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

I like to think it this way, the Japanese with straight translation is the series begining, this is near the ending.

sorry no instrumental but i wish there were i'm pretty sure richie kotzen's awesome guitar playing would sound really kick ass even without the vocals.

Is there an instrumental for this? Love the arrangement for this version of the song.

[@LatencyProblem]

This should be the opening theme of the english dub of 0083 :D

[@qinsky1951]

agree

[@RobbieStacks90]

The dub came out in 2001 and Bandai sold its broadcast rights to Cartoon Network (planned for Toonami, put on Adult Swim), but when Richie Kotzen came out with this cover in 2006, I was pumped because it was a nice spin on the original Gundam 0083 opening, which is one of my favorites.

[@luminusprime3113]

I'm confused. Isn't the English version of "The Winner" just "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins...?

[@gundamuniverse6757]

+luminusprime There's apparently more than one version of an English cover in that case; No reason to be confused. A simple Google Search presents results showing that Richie released an album with this cover; And this is it.

[@luminusprime3113]

I was being facetious. :P Many have commented in the past that the harmony of the original sounds a lot like the Top Gun theme. Although there is an actual alternate English version with different lyrics called "Back to Paradise."

Those both from her sounds like singing about Kou as a soldier. But it's more alike love romance of him. That's my point. I didn't say this version isn't good. It's rather good.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

Id say both versions are about the main character as a soldier. The Japanese is the begining, the english is the ending.

why there are no amvs with these songs in?

[@Mapanda]

Why not talking about "I've gotta cry like a wanted eagle"? Does the lyric which was sang by Miki Matsuhara suck too much for Americans? It seems a love song, this one. Different from Miki's version which is talking about the feeling of a soldier.

[@budgiecat9039]

wanted eagle? Dont you mean wounded eagle...

@leegeddyfan well i don't know were to find it either and from what i'm seeing on google alot of people are asking the same question.

why dont you ask miki matsuhara why she did an english version of "men of destiny" and changed the words totally ? at least this version still has the chorus intact ( somewhat )

[@techbbq8585]

Kotzen did his own version. Why do a direct copy of the original? It's not that the lyrics aren't good enough. Being different is what makes musicians unique.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

It’s because a straight translation would butcher the flow of the song.

0083 is nothing like Top Gun in the least apart from the main characters being pilots. The characters, the dynamics, the plot, absolutely nothing is even remotely similar, and people that think otherwise probably like to eat paste for dinner.
