Thunder Tornado [Tornado Man Stage] (Mega Man 9) - GaMetal Remix

Today we're taking on one of the most requested Mega Man Robot Master themes: Tornado Man's Stage theme "Thunder Tornado" from Mega Man 9!
◆ "Mega Rockman" shirt by Draculabyte: draculabyte.com/products/mega...
◆ Gameplay by Nacisse (Thank you!)
Mega Man has consistently ranked in the top 5 most requested series every GaMetal Song Ballot, but the individual votes are always spread among various songs, to the point of no particular song being a clear favorite.
So, I decided to hold a special Robot Master Request Battle tournament on the GaMetal Discord server to figure out what the most popular Robot Master themes truly were.
After several rounds, Tornado Man made it into the finals as the underdog candidate, going as far as taking the odds-on favorite Galaxy Man into a sudden death round and securing the victory.
And thus, here we are, with today's Tornado Man remix.
I hope it blows you away!

Three things: 1) This is simply further proof that the entire MM9 ost would be worth the GaMetal treatment; this song blew me away when I first heard it normally, but this cover is something else! 2) Those messages at the end - you don't have to *spam* us to get the point across >: ] 3) I recently got into playing MHW a lot recently, and I feel like The Invading Tyrant (i.e. Bezelgeuse's theme) would make for some really good GaMetal.

[@CheeseBlaster]

I personally would love a plug man remix

[@wolfiehatesgoogle]

This and Splash Woman made me realize that the music of Mega Man 9 converts *perfectly* to metal music. Would love to see the whole game done in this style, ESPECIALLY the final bosses' music.

[@icarusmarioFAN]

Mega Man 9 and 10 have great soundtracks

[@chrismillsification]

Honestly, all Mega Man music does. In fact, NES music in general does. The NES sound chip has two general purpose pulse channels (your lead/rhythm), a triangle wave generator (your bass guitar), and a noise generator (your drum track). I'm honestly pretty sure that the reason I'm so into metal is NES soundtracks and their perfect conversions.

[@PlasmaStar-me1hq]

i second this

[@ThePhilosogamer]

Well in Japan, Megaman is called Rock, his ally is named Roll, and the recurring anti-hero is named Bass. They were definitely fans of "certain genres" of music.

[@Ozymandias2x]

Solar Man's theme is metal even in its 8-bit form.

[@daltongill8677]

this cover really... *blew me away*

[@valois6846]

Puns!

[@TrueSavage555]

ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIVE!

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

The debut of this song with the Mega Man 9 tv ad probably sold the game instantly for me. Hearing GaMetal cover it, is a blessing. Thank you

[@PrometheusInfrnl]

This remix blew me away.

[@train4292]

HAH

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I've been thinking about Mega Man 9 a lot recently, very happy to have heard about this coming out!

[@zenpo6322]

ITS PURE DOPAMINE!!!!!!!! “face peeking back in a smile” 😍

[@SAKRAYx]

Im an 34 year old boomer ... I grew up with MegaMan till this day I think it rocks the best soundtracks consistently out of every game out there and im so happy people like GaMetal exists that keep covering MegaMan songs in this proportion I swear man this is absolutely insane im repeating this like crazyyy keep the MegaMan stuff up man

[@TripleBMusic]

Totally forgot about this song! Really great arrangement of this one my dude

[@Mecha-6171]

This Is a real (BIG SHOT) move kid

[@silverdamascus2023]

Really thanks for doing the 18th song that was in my list of requests! This is one I really wanted, and I voted for this multiple times in the Request Battle. Mega Man 9 went from using nostalgia, to being nostalgic itself, I had great memories of playing it on my Wii, at the time, it was shocking to make games with 8-bit graphics in the 21st Century and actually release them for the 7th generation consoles, many people hated it, many people loved it, but then those throwback graphics became common in many indie games from the 2010s and 2020s, shame that like most good things of the videogame industry, not only it was overused, but also misused, retro games are cool but shouldn't be that common, and Mega Man 9 was pretty faithful to actual NES limitations, many games that tried this 8-bit style did not understand how 8-bit games actually looked. And Tornado Man, this is the best song of the whole soundtrack which is already pretty good, the NES soundchip is timeless.

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

GaMetal's going to be a [[BIG SHOT]]!!!!

[@ShayyTV]

Oooh, it looks like something very Big will be coming next month... BUT THANKS FOR ANOTHER [Outstanding] COVER IN THE MEANTIME! Seriously, it's really good as always.

[@whirl3690]

Hey it's the Toby Fox speedrunner I haven't seen one of your videos in 8 months

[@dispentryporter8621]

Aight I'm calling it, Big Shot! from Fatal Fury 3 is definitely next.

[@lava8936]

you did it

[@MegaManNeo]

Man, has been such a long time that I have listened to any music from MegaMan 9. This was a great remix.

[@merikurisumasu10]

Listening to a new GaMetal remix is always a good way to start into the day!

[@dh13]

MM9 has the best MM ost, hands down. This with splash woman, concrete man, We're the robots, and plenty of other examples prove it. Amazing remix as always Jonny.

[@McSmartOfficial]

Easily the best Robot Master theme, glad to see it got covered!

[@oof7777]

Always love more mega man covers, especially Mega man 9 Edit: WAIT DOES THAT ENDING MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS?????

[@Sgt_Ham]

YOU BET YOUR [$!?!] IT IS !!

[@sanstheskelly-pun2142]

OH MY GOSH!!!! ITS EVERYTHING I HAD HOPED FOR!!!!!! AAAHHHHHGGGGG IT'S SO GOOD!!!!! AMAZING work Jonny atma!! and EVERYONE else who helped in making this a reality!!!!!!

[@rmzing]

Haven't really thought much about 9 and 10. These games were such a weird time in Megaman's history. Good to know that they still had banger soundtracks, though.

[@drunyon214]

9 is incredible, you should definitely play it. It's the best of the classic series, and just about as good as Mega Man X.

[@Legend64]

9 and 19 are incredibly fun and probably the best in the series ngl

[@kutami2951]

Gametal: "Something "Big" is coming next month." Are we finally getting a rendition of Big the Cat's theme? Is this the bad timeline?

[@skythegamedev3751]

I think it’s gonna be BIG SHOT since “Something ‘big’….” and “…now’s your chance to…” are references to Spamton’s songs unless I’m wrong, in which case bring on Big the Cat.

[@DarthMolgy]

A metal cover of Lazy Days would be amazing

[@YoungLeosword]

Tomorrow’s April 1st at time of writing… ;D

[@kutami2951]

@@skythegamedev3751 I mean, tomorrow is April Fool's so it'd be hilarious if he teased Big Shot only for it to be Big the Cat's theme.

[@imptwins]

oh no oh no what the fuck have you manifested

[@matthewbankey5547]

I have to say, I never gave much thought to Tornado Man’s theme. Galaxy Man’s theme was my favorite from Mega Man 9, but I will say it is a good theme to be done in your style, Jonny!

[@the_man_you_have_searched_for]

Simply Spectacular, I love these remixes of yours

[@chriswilliams8039]

My favorite track from MM9, and you've covered it fantastically!! I love your stuff, can't wait to hear more awesome covers from you!! 🤘😲🤘

[@joshuasplural]

Another banger of a cover. It was cooling being a part of the voting process! I am absolutely loving your new formant with the green screening

[@Flegan777]

Tornado Man's theme definitely has some punch to it and this remix emphasized that even more. Fantastic work.

[@MrSirKirby]

Wow! One of my favorite MM song ever and you did it justice! Great work as always! :D

[@PhoenixFalzar3930]

Finally! One of my quite literal favorite stages in all of megaman is getting love. Not only regular love, but just an overflowing amount in the greatest possible, greatest sounding way. I love it so much.

[@lurkgrue]

Since Live A Live is being remade, I think some remixes of its battle themes would be cool, especially Difficult Fight, Killing Field, and A Painful Death at the Hands of A Psycho! Maybe even a battle theme medley, like your FFI/II/III/IV/V/VI/IX battle medley!

[@toxicelec5960]

One of my absolute favorite tracks in all of Mega Man, amazing cover dude!

[@joules8167]

Ayo? Incredible remix? IN MY RECOMMENDATION?

[@Rubberman202]

KZbin's algorithm strikes again in favor of Jonny!

[@RewindArcade]

This is one of my favorite Mega Man tracks and an amazing cover. Great work!!

[@OversizedSausage]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEGA MAN SONG THANK YOU SO MUCH GAMETAL

[@MrOrichalcos]

This song was such a blast in the game. So glad to hear it again with the rock treatment it deserves! Requests: [BIG SHOT] - Deltarune Chapter 2 Cooler’s theme - Dragon Ball FighterZ VS Volo/Giratina - Pokémon Legends Arceus EDIT: I SAW THE END TEASER. WE’RE FINALLY GETTING BIG SHOT, AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!!

So much waiting time was worth it to see and hear a masterpiece. 💜

[@overlord3604]

This metal cover honestly gives me sonic adventures vibes.

[@drunyon214]

The best Robot Master theme ever, and a great cover. Awesome job Jonny!

[@KojiKombo]

Mega Man 9 has to be my all-time favorite soundtrack in the entire classic series, literally every song is a banger!

[@falciexd]

For more Rockman theme covers like this and others previously made by you, love all of them, and this became one of my new favorites! :) One of my dreams is to see a Rockman album like you did with Kirby one day, and congrats for all you've achieved so far! :'D

[@orangeoof1321]

Awesome, I was waiting for this one

great cover as usual! THIS NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY [Big]

[@eckitronix]

Wow, this one blew me away and knocked the wind outta me and air-punned me to death with how rad these shreds are. I personally love how on the second loop, you add some more guitar in, perfectly adding to the song. What I wanna know, though, is why is it that Mega Man spins around on kabob'd batteries? But yeah, if this song wasn't enough of a cool as hell metal shred, this gust you've given us really gave the gash! Thank you for doing this!

[@MetaMagnus]

I can't stop listening to this man, this theme was MADE for metal- that beginning melody is so hype, especially with your sound!

[@kyliechirillo8635]

Hyello, this is a banger! And that makes me very happy! I don't really care what's coming next, I'm just happy this got covered. Keep it up!

[@GhostlyIvy80]

"Now's your change to be a subscriber" Let me tell, you [my ol'pal] Johnny, that's a very [SUS]picious statement.

[@MarcoFD]

this stage music was a instant classic for me when i first played the game. took me right back to the og days of playing when we were young. this cover repeats this.

[@blasterjretrogameresp8034]

those words at the ending..... no freaking [[SHOT]] its what i think it is

[@RockManSSB]

Still wish Galaxy man took it in the tournament, but this remix is more than enough to cover it.

[@zelos1826]

Concrete Man when? :D But MM9 has a great OST all around, so I can't complain about this one! Great job! :D WAIT A MINUTE, THE MESSAGE AT THE END. NOW'S OUR CHANCE... LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

[@-bemyvalentine-]

At last, Lord Atma has rewarded the Tornadobros for their victory with this amazing cover. I got chills halfway through, it's even better than I imagined it would be. Also, I see we're getting BIG SHOT next, so the excitement from my part won't end here. I don't tend to listen to remixes of that song because I don't think they really do justice to the original, but none of Atma's remixes have ever disappointed me so I'm really curious about that one. Typical Aeon's Devil Gundam from MS Saga request.

[@edge3220]

Killer remix on an already killer track!

[@train4292]

THIS REMIX IS SO GOOD-

[@GoldWheels]

_scrolling through KZbin_ "Oh hey, Tornado Man remix" _looks at the uploader_ "Hang on, I don't remember him uploading a-" " W A I T A M I N U T E " And thus, another banger has been found

[@brainfreeze91]

Can't forget being a Mega fan in the Wii era and finally getting Mega Man 9 and hearing this song. Mega Man was back! And it came back strong, 9 is just as great as 2 and 3 for me.

[@TaraRaeDev]

You're so flippin' good, dude!

[@Carnillion]

So YEARS ago huxion X came out with a cover of this. Tornado blitz. And it was AMAZING! I haven't found a better cover. Until now. This is SO good I love your work! Keep it up!!

[@Sean-Ax]

Finally!! Mega Man 9 and 10 both have very GaMetal worthy pieces which should not go ignored, so I'm glad that Tornado Man was finally covered because I feel like this stage theme is the go-to for the entire Mega Man 9 OST.

[@TheNeutron75]

Awesome,as ALWAYS🔥❤

[@nicodalusong149]

How many different ways have I heard Tornado Man's theme? A lot, probably an album's worth and then some. The entire first half of this sounded similar but when the guitar solo kicked in, that's when it sounded special. So, all I can say is that that was nice spin on things.

[@patcahill3724]

This cover of an outstanding song in mega man 9... *blew my mind*
