Vince DiCola's TRAINING MONTAGE (from Rocky IV) recreated

[@Dragonfire1911]

You should do hearts on fire next.

[@Peck_Bull]

Acojonante. Un temazo inmortal para los que crecimos en los 80. Durante muchos años buscábamos las banas sonoras pero eran imposibles de encontrar. Ni Cds ni internet ni nada de nada. Sólo podíamos ver las películas una y otra vez. Esto es un temazo que llevo grabado en mi mente desde niño y lo has recreado a la perfección. El gran Vince DiCola estaría muy muy orgulloso. BRAVO!!!

[@juliancroot]

Thank you

[@whoguy4231]

Loved it ... That's a lot of work!!! Thanks 👍

[@Panini2010]

Sounds absolutely spot on. Great cover of a great tune! Mad respect

[@masashikudo251]

Marvelous! This is an absolute must when I' m into workout..... Its harmony and arrangement is invigorating too.

[@juliancroot]

Yep, I completely agree. Thanks for watching.

[@MaverickM1]

Iconic soundtrack from a very iconic movie. And the remake is just awesome!

[@valentine_puppy]

There is one thing I'd add to this. "You see, YOU SEE! He's not a Machine, he's a man!"

[@gieselats]

I still love your version. So awesome done. It is my companion on my mp3-player while i am jogging.

[@elguapo3811]

I don't always cry, buy I just did and it's because of this cover.

[@juliancroot]

Tears of joy I hope. Thanks for watching 👍

[@paulbirkbeck1790]

Excellent. can make a dreary day in billingham so much better👍

[@gwencrawford737]

Your covers are absolutely BRILLIANT! I wouldn't be a BIT surprised, if Vince himself, were pleased with these works and your talent!

[@juliancroot]

Maybe he'll drop by some day... that would be awesome. Thanks for the kind words Gwen.

[@alexw9754]

Vince Dicola would be proud! Bravo sir!

[@MarkBowenPiano]

Very nicely done. Is it ever so slightly slower than the original or just my imagination though. That totally aside though, this is fantastic work.

[@juliancroot]

This was a tough nut to crack. I tried to match the tempo to the film version, but the album version is quite different. Also PAL DVDs play 4% too fast because of the 25fps standard (instead of 24), so that can complicate matters in terms of pitch and pacing.

[@CanucksGameVlogger]

this is SO GOOD. My new jam at the gym!

[@Vaporvice84]

Very nice cover. Rocky 4 is my favorite movie. I've heard a lot of cover versions over the years and very few get it right. You thankfully remember all those little nuances that everyone else always forgets. GREAT JOB!!!

[@juliancroot]

Thanks man, it means a lot when people appreciate the work that goes into these. The Rocky IV tracks are probably the most complicated tracks I've yet attempted. I think War was the trickiest. Thanks for watching. :)

[@wesleycrespo]

Amazing!!! Bravo!!!

[@akinciaydin]

Brilliant!

[@hofx666]

Gah damn this was rad

[@EchoBeach501]

Absolutely fantastic. Makes me want to run up a load of steps in Philadelphia!

[@juliancroot]

Haha, for this you should really be chopping up wood with an axe in a snow covered Russian wilderness.😁 Thanks for the comment.

[@samiasda]

[@Prof.jones24]

[@Moondance_Gregory]

Oh my!!!!! Vince Dicola's mouth just reached the floor hahahaha. Amazing job!!!!

[@juliancroot]

Thank you. It would make my year if Vince watched this.

[@Moondance_Gregory]

@@juliancroot You never know hahaha, I hope he will ;-)

[@ThomasLeypoldt]

I love this! Very well produced, Julian!

[@noroy2]

Excellent work, wow! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@juliancroot]

Thank you.

[@ElioDeAngelis-76-]

oh my god!!! is amazing!!! chill.. chill everywhere

[@juliancroot]

What a great comment. I'm so pleased you liked it. Thank you so much.

[@KOSmusicovers]

Your improved version is FANTASTIC!!!! I can hear that you like to improve the tracks you create and it is a quality that has the true musician who wants to get the best out of his current skills (I do the same too)!!! This version is much more powerful, with a sharper EQ and I really enjoyed soloist at the minute 2:00 much more in the foreground and brilliant!!! Keep it up with your magnificent work, my dear friend!!! I love listening/watching what you create :) :) :)

[@juliancroot]

Thanks Kos. Only you could have noticed the change to the solo at 2:00.. I did strengthen the guitar sound, and also corrected a wrong note in that section. There were other subtle changes to the harmony and the note length of the lead synth. Its weird how you think something is finished, yet weeks later you hear things that need fixing. This one bugged me so much I had to do something about it. Thanks for your inspiration and support.

[@KOSmusicovers]

@@juliancroot Oh yes, that's exactly what happens to me too!!! Unfortunately, when you recreate a track from scratch, you have to think about too many things and you can't get everything right. In fact, I have now found a technique to limit this problem. Once the track is finished, I stop listening to it for a few days and do something else (to detach my mind from the track). So, when I listen to it again I immediately hear the errors and wrong equalizations. I repeat this process 2 more times to make sure I have almost what I wanted :) :) :)

[@Vaporvice84]

Hey KOS, any chance we'll get some Rocky 4 recreations from you in the ear future? Your covers are all already boss!!!

[@KOSmusicovers]

@@Vaporvice84 Hello, my friend!! What a pleasure to see you here :) Actually, every time I watch the movie and hear this incredible soundtrack, I feel like doing them... but I also know that I would need more time and energy to get to work on these complex tracks. Surely when I have the chance I will do them with particular interest (I love these masterpieces)!!! Thanks again Tyler, for your immense kindness :) :) :)

[@sanduvalahia5057]

@Hayes Hassan no,we dont care

[@silent.revolution2168]

I tend to forget you work by ear, it's so well played! And it's also a way to rediscover the song again. Good job and nice Underamor shirt. =)

[@TheAntirossi]

The best cover on KZbin !!! Brother you rock !!!

[@juliancroot]

Thank you.

[@lukater64]

[@benutzer715]

Just stumbled across this gem...FANTASTIC!🤩BTW...what about doing a cover of "Guile's Theme"? That would be awesome!

[@juliancroot]

Thanks for the nice comment. Never heard of Guile's Theme though. I'll have to check it out.

[@villadochaves]

Very cool!!!

[@optimusprime595]

This makes me want to go out in the cold and cut wood up, go for a run, and pull my friend/brother-in-law on a sled through the snow.

[@theviolinoob]

what a beautiful piece! i'm trying to get some synth with the same vibes. dx7 brass? you cover is right on spot my man! cheers!

[@juliancroot]

DX7 brass (actually FM8 emulator), Steinberg Retrologue 2, a patch from my Roland FP60 piano, and others.... All layered together to get that one sound.

[@C.Faysal]

FIRE!!!!

[@guilhardo118]

Perfect! Show! tanks

I see you use Cubase , what you think of FL studio 20?

[@juliancroot]

Never used Fruity Loops (FL Studio), sorry. Cubase is amazing though... Complex, but not much it can't do.
