This is my cover of the theme song of a super classic from the TV series of all time: Airwolf Theme of the 1984
To recreate this version, I took inspiration from the original and the extended version of this fantastic track. I wanted to give a more "synthesized" impression compared to the original by replacing the "French Horn" with classic 80s synth brass and other typical sounds of those years.
In the future, I will try to recreate the original version of the opening theme and maybe even the extended version of this MASTERPIECE.
It took a few months to recreate the cover, the graphics and the video
but I hope you like it ;)
I have never said this about 80s theme covers before: These are really good.
SUPER WOOOWWWW... You are so kind!!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed my works!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY FRIEND :) :) :)
You can be sure that you"re REALLY talented when your videos are being commented by THE Alexander Brandon from Epic Games HIMSELF.
@Alexander Brandon IT'S INCREDIBLE... NOW I AM REALLY WITHOUT WORDS!!!! I didn't think you were Alexander Brandon!! I thought he was your big fan who used your name and photo as an icon!! I didn't really expect this HONOR and to receive these SPECIAL compliments from a great composer like you!! THIS IS PURE MAGIC!!! I am a big fan of PC video games and I have played the great classics of all time including those in which you composed the music!! I can only say... YOU MADE ME A WONDERFUL GIFT WITH YOUR COMMENT!!! I will carry it forever in my heart as a music lover!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MASTER!!!!!
@@Arachnosoft As a simple music lover I am, it is an IRREAL feeling to have received his comment!!! Even now I can't believe it!!! :O :O :O
For the wonderful music you make I sure really truly honestly would take it anytime . It's a relief to know that someone like you took the time,made the effort to make enjoyable music,soothing to the ears . Thank you so very much for the talent that you have . This comes from my heart,mind,soul . I wish you the very best wishes for a future with more music to come . Thanks again .
There's a man in my town who pedals his bike around with a boom box strapped to the back cranking out the Airwolf theme on a loop wherever he goes. I absolutely applaud and support this level of madness.
FABULOUS!!!!! A true Airwolf fan!!!! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME :) :) :)
i like this man
We had a foodtruck showing up just in front of my workplace that announced itself several streets before he arrived by playing the A-Team theme through huge speakers mounted on top ^^
@@matthiastilly5480 That's amazing.
Fuzzdog I love that!
Airwolf, Knight Rider, and Street Hawk, the 80's was a truly magical time.
You forgot Automan.
Blue Thunder
@@AC_Milan1899 and A Team was the Jewel In the Crown
And Magnum
V
Had to be an 80's kid to really enjoy this. Best show ever.
u got my vote.
Air wolf. Auto man. A team. All great fun shows
@@RationalCreeddon't forget macgyver
We can still make Airwolf today though. I mean we need to make it even more powerful. The original Airwolf is a 80s helicopter that is already of 21st century standard. If we are going to make a new Airwolf, this helicopter must be at least 22nd century technology standard. But, it will be good :)
And Streethawk
My father would have loved this; he & I used to watch Airwolf a lot. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2002. That cover reminds me of when my father was still alive. May he rest in peace....
I'm so sorry for your dad, but I'm really happy my tribute brought back to you the good times you had with him!!! Thanks again for writing to me and I send you a big hug :) :) :)
D'awww, god bless him!
I forgot to mention that he served in the U.S. Army before I was born.

Back when TV shows had good theme songs, taking me back.
FULLY AGREE!!!! In the past, they really knew how to do things!! They remained in your heart because they were made with real passion and creativity!!! Golden years :) :) :)
I was talking to my wife about that recently, like we had this, KR, Magnum PI, A-Team, Streethawk, and that's just scratching the surface. Now the shows literally don't have a theme song, or it's not memorable in the slightest.
While i don't fully agree i can understand your point of view. I'm a 90's child myself but i still watched these shows and back then they actually made an intro. A lot of shows these days skip intro's in order to save time.
Well, Supernatural is the only show that has good theme song today.
@@subieasunayuuki Supernatural doesn't actually have a theme song. It has a title card but the song ''Carry on my wayward son'' has been used to much in the road so far segments that it has been adopted as Supernatural's signature theme song.
Thank god I grew up in the 80s. Best ever music, tv and movies. I'll die happy.
YEAH!!!! The years in which creativity and good taste were at the highest peak!!!
@NINJARICHARD1984 WOOOWWWW!!!!! I'm very pleased that you enjoyed my tributes to these pearls of the past... it is always a great pleasure to meet other people who still love the 80s!!!! I heartily thank you Richard, for your support :) :) :)
I am with you there!
Same here im 44 now the 80s/90s
@@worzysp1 same i feel yous ....im 46 and im still waiting for the life begins at 40 speech i think people mean it slowly diminishes lol
I love that the rhythm sounds like chopper blades.
40 years later, i think it's time for an Airwolf movie.
IF it is done right, not like the A-Team movie.
@@gladiusgamer9324 A-Team movie was pretty good. The military accuracy was surprising.
According to Ernest borgnine for a short period of time Russia actually believed we had this machine.😮
@@john.infinite78 Airwolf walked so the Darkstar could run
There is no cooler looking helicopter than the real thing.
Just like Kitt is a trans am, not a mustang
I closed my eyes and saw airwolf flying. Loved that show when I was a kid.
I was a teenager when it aired here in my European country, and really love the show. I loved the supporting cast of Ernest Borgnine (may he rest in peace)
Another show that I was really into, was Knight Rider.
I watched it, but I mostly remember the tune.
me too and I even bought the soundtrack on actual vinyl LP from the TV channel shop
So sad to hear about the passing of Jan-Michael Vincent......his last years were def quite different after his severe car accident, but he was finally happy
All that's missing, is that high pitch screaming howl The Lady made when the turbos kicked in and she tore across the sky
weldonwin I’ve always loved when Airwolf levitates up from the cave..... and the start up sequence..... and the camera angle that showed all her curves and chrome polish!
I am no one special, I grew up in the 80's hearing this song on television. I have a very good sense of memory for music, down to the sound and each beat and meter, this guys is on point with what he is recreating to perfection. Anyone that gives him a dislike needs a finger removed.
I'M REALLY SPEECHLESS, CHRISTOPHER!!!!!! It is always an immense joy to receive the compliments from a great fan like you of this SUPER classic and I'm very happy that you enjoyed my tribute!!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart my friend, for your GREAT kindness and for your SPECIAL support!!!!! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a new year rich of happiness :) :) :)
The Airwolf theme is so unique, from the incredible sound of the chopper and into the style. This not only matches the original, it essentially remasters it to the modern era. I adore the chopper sound you created! It's perfect.
Finger removed? I think you may be one of the evil guys the Airwolf crew fought against.
I love ur comment 😍
Might I suggest removing their thumb... since they can't be trusted to use it properly?
In Memory of Jan Michael Vincent & Ernest Borgnine, keep flying away till we get there 😢🙏🕊
They both are ...? Aw man. Rip.
@@nocturnaljoe9543 I'm afraid so, Ernest left in 2012 at the age of 95 and Jan back in February 2019 at 73/74 years old.
@@JayKhwaja I really liked to watch Ernest in the movie Super cop with Terance Hill. 95 is a fair age but 74? My father is older and he had cancer. Sry to hear Jan died as well. His memory will live within us, tho.
@@nocturnaljoe9543 Sadly, Jan had alot of personal afflictions that unfortunately resulted in Airwolf getting cancelled back in 1986, thus many other acting prospects began to sadly decline for him as many reported difficulties in working with him 😢
@@nocturnaljoe9543 Unfortunately, he had many demons to fight and lived a hard life. In all honesty, I'm surprised he lasted this long.
A shame, really. He was a very good actor, but he squandered it all.
All that's missing is that high-pitch screaming howl the Lady made when the boosters kicked in
Hello, my friend!! I will definitely add it, when I do the extended version of this track :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers I look forward to that!!!
The Lady. Miss that show.
Exactly!
@@KOSmusicovers taps finger. Waiting lol
Definitely 80's and early 90's had the BEST music intro and soundtrack from those series and movies, period.
You're absolutely right, those were golden years for many things!!!! :) :) :)
Well because since 2000 ish shows started to do away with opening theme
Of course they had. Airwolf,Knight Rider, The A Team, MacGyver...A lot lot more...
Heck yeah man!!
Now they cut out the opening and episode length to fit 5 more minutes of commercials. Seriously, get a series on DVD and compare episode lengths in the 90s to today.
I remember airwolf series. Use to watch all the time. Along with Mcgyver and Knight rider, miss the 80’s at times. heh
The 80s series were the best!!!! Oh yes and I also remember very well A-Team, CHiPs, The Dukes of Hazzard, Magnum P.I. etc. I still look at them today with great emotion :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers
Ya Flinstones, A-team / Chips and yes of course the good ol' boys (Dukes of Hazzard).
Yeah guys, seems like eternity ago that we were care free kids just enjoying life and these brilliant shows. Even the in the UK we had a load of great shows with memorable themes. Remember Monkey Magic and the Water Margin from China? Great shows with great theme tunes, no doubt you've heard them.
@@athermahmood1065
Don't know them cuz I'm in western Canada, a lot stuff never got show to Canada or at time was living on farm, we didn't get dish till much later. But remember a lot old shows,, Alf? Dinosaurs, Night rider, Airwolf / Mcgyver, Flintstones hah, Im sure many other 80's and early 90's show I'm missing. Simpler times perhaps? as much I do love my tech/gaming/movies( dvd/blu rays) do admit at times, Wish could go back like 1995/96 or late 80s hah. 80s cartoons like loony tuns/ Buggy we're my fav. heck even old 80s Hercules, Love it cuz had Centaur on it. (huge fan Centaurs stuff) Newton? Wanted see him grow be Strong Stallion centaur, not wimpy foal he was lol, (not even colt hah)
Nobody going to mention Street hawk then?...........
I loved watching Airwolf as a teen in Europe in the mid eighties!!! I also remember that every time they had String with the black vizor on, we all knew he must have been too drunk to do his lines!!! So they just closed the visor and filmed it away!!! Classic!!!
This just popped into my feed and brought back memories of how great it was to have been a child of 80s. The best television main theme tunes came out of the 80s.
I'm really happy to know this!!!! Absolutely yes, the most creative and artistic period ever... even simple commercials were masterpieces!!!
I almost wouldn't call these covers as much as I would call them near perfect recreations. Incredible job
WOOWWWW... I HAVE NO WORDS!!! You are very kind!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH GUNK, FOR YOUR AMAZING COMPLIMENTS :) :) :)
Yeah I honestly don't understand the term "cover". I mean when the Boston Symphony plays Beethoven's Seventh Symphony--that's what they do, no one says "oooh great cover of beethoven", they just play the song, period.
Agreed. I grew up on this show real time. That sounded 100% like the one I remember. Thank you algorithm for picking a good video from the past.
The Airwolf Intro Theme is a masterpiece - and so is your cover👍
SUPER WOOWWWW!!!!! It is really a great satisfaction to read your comment... I REALLY DON'T HAVE WORDS, MY FRIEND!!! THANKS AGAIN, FOR YOUR AMAZING COMMENT :) :) :)
I just watched this video for like the 20th time and just noticed the Airwolf graphic isn't greenscreen because I can see it reflected on the keys in some shots. My level of impressed increased by 73%
MEGA WOOOWWW, MAN!!!!! It is really a great joy to know that you have noticed this particular... many people think that the backgrounds of my videos are made with the greenscreen, but in reality I prefer to create them by hand. I'm not a big fan of the greenscreen technique, I only use it when it is essential (for example, for the sky of my cover of Reese Dreams of Future War). Thanks again for appreciating my work on this video :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers - you have no idea how amazing your work is. I’m surprised you don’t content ID’d because the cover is so perfect...and the artwork is amazing too
@@reagandow850 he has been… check the description of the knight rider theme…
@@KOSmusicovers To be fair, there was a lot of cheesy green screening done in the 80s, so it'd be legit either way.
Really hits you how much it SCREAMS 80's, the synth sound, the beat, even the cyan grid and logo. The vibe of the decade could be summarized in this one video. ❤
WOOWWW...THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ROBIN!!!!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed all my work on this tribute!! Yeah, the 80s were absolutely among the most creative and expressive ever and not just for music... unforgettable era!!! Thanks again for your AWESOME comment :) :) :)
I miss those days. The best days of my life.

It's a real shame :(
@@KOSmusicovers His career took a total nosedive in later years.
Oh that's sad. I had his face in mind on listening, sat at the edge of the open door of my imaginary helicopter.
@@gameoverinsertcointocontin8102 he didn't have much of a career unfortunately
Raving alcoholic. Shame.
This is a great rendition of a great tune!
The 80s, when good music was considered necessary for a successful show.
OH WOOOWWW, MAN!!!!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed my version :) :) :) You're absolutely right!!!!! In the past, they cared much more about the quality of things and the proof is that these classics, still today, have not lost their charm!!!!
Ugh!! This theme ALWAYS gives me goosebumps!!
My god, this brings back memories. Loved and lived the 80s
It’s one thing to listen to a soundtrack on UA-cam, but when you can see how it’s played sort of like a live performance, you enjoy the music a lot more. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to the air wolf and knight rider soundtracks, but the experience kicks it up to the next level when you watch this guy play it. You get fully absorbed and immersed into the soundtrack, all while imagining the dramatic action sequences that goes with the piece.
This is truly one of the most SPECIAL and INCREDIBLE comments I have ever received!!! I am truly honored to convey all these sensations with my passion for music... it is truly an indescribable feeling!! Words are not enough to thank you for this, my dear friend!!! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, TOM :) :) :)
Great comment, Tom! I totally agree with you!
coudn't say it better mate. Same feeling here.
@@KOSmusicovers As someone who watched and loved every episode of the show when it first aired, I echo Tom's thoughts. I KNOW the theme already. I can hear the whole thing in my head when I want to or play a recording of it from UA-cam.
But watching those keys get played makes it all the more visceral -- especially the final rising section.
AND it's reminiscent of the show itself because they had those standard closeups of buttons, switches, and triggers common to the military fiction genre. There's something very fitting in that parallel.
So, thanks for this!
@@KOSmusicovers I agree completely and wish to add something. I think after watching probably hundreds of covers of the theme that this is the cleanest and most accurate version. Thank you.
Air Wolf, Knight Rider, A Team, Street Hawk, Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice, The Equalizer. Pure gold!
YEAH!!!!!
And MacGyver
@@stevethevirgoman Yeah man!
Add 21 Jump Street intro for best 80's memories..
During the years of this show's syndication on regular TV, anytime I heard this tune, I was like a moth to light! Immediately I would be running to the TV to watch some Airwolf! LOVE IT! This is a masterpiece of 80's nostalgia, just like the show, thank you for sharing this! 😀👍
GREAT!!!!!!! The same thing happened to me too with many TV series (including cartoons)!! I'm really happy that you liked my tribute to this piece of history!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR AWESOME COMMENT :) :) :)
This has been my alarm clock for years now... Pumps me the fuck up in the mornings.
Wow. That gave me chills. The synth music of the 80's is still totally awesome!
WONDERFUL!!!!!!! I'm really glad that my version gave you this feeling!!!! YEAH!!!!! 80's music is powerful and modern still today... and it will be forever!!!! THANKS AGAIN MY FRIEND, FOR YOUR AMAZING COMMENT :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Stay radical, my friend.

This was amazing, the 80’s was truly the golden age of TV and Cinema .
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, VRINDER :) :) :) I totally agree with you... at that time they really knew how to do things and had an excellent taste for beautiful things which they also conveyed to the watching/listening audience!!!
Thanks for bringing back all of these memories of our childhood!! Puts a big smile on my face !!
IT'S A REAL JOY TO KNOW THIS, JON!!!!!! I'm so happy that you discovered my channel with the Crockett's Theme cover and that you liked the way I create these tributes!! I love the music of the past and admire the great artists/composers who managed to create unforgettable masterpieces in those years. Thank you of heart for your special words and your fabulous compliments :) :) :)
Absolutely superb. I still watch Airwolf today, can't beat a bit of nostalgia
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, ROBERT!!!!! Yeah, the shows of those years are the best and Airwolf is truly incredible!!! :) :) :)
That tune takes me back. The 80's, what a magical time to be alive :)
So glad I lived through this era....the happiest most fun era of all time...lots of upbeat real genuine people and good positive energy...this younger generation has no idea what it missed out on and will never have...
Absolutely agree with everything!!! I was born in the mid-80s and I also remember the great "warm" that the 90s released. Times where everything had the right value and where you really had to have a special talent to attract the public (Michael Jackson is a perfect example). The sad thing is that even the majority of people of past generations have embraced the "cold" way of modern living and the garbage that is produced today, not only in the field of music... movies, TV series, commercials, cartoons, video games, toys, cars, etc. completely forgetting the beautiful things they grew up with. Luckily there are some people like you who are proud of what they experienced, watched and listened to... only those who were there in those years can understand what it all means. Thanks again for writing to me :) :) :)
Got this recommended by youtube for some reason. It did not disappoint. It took me back to a far simpler time, an age of magic and wonder. Good job !
THANKS A LOT, KRISTER!!!!!! I'm really happy that you liked my tribute and that it brought you great memories :) :) :)
I don't know what's more beautiful, the theme song, the modified Bell-222 helicopter, or the superstars. LOVE IT!
I heard airwolf so many times when i was kid in 90's.. i heard many remake.. but this one is better than orginal !!! So clean ! Kosmusic You are the best ! Really You made 100% clean like orginal ! You have talent !!! Thank You !

There are some really great iconic introductions to TV shows' and this is right up there with the best. The tune has also stood the test of time and still sounds cool since the first time I heard it. Now off to hum this for the rest of the day...
I completely agree with everything!!! At that time they were truly unbeatable at creating special things in many fields and it's the passion for what they did that made masterpieces like this last forever!!
Goosebumps. Nailed it. ❤
FANTASTIC!!!!!! It is a great joy to know that you liked it!!! Thank you so much, Kjote :) :) :)
I could listen to this a a 24hr continuous loop
Superb. I can almost see The Lady flying through the air
Excellent cover.
Brings back memories of being a kid in the 80's and watching Airwolf on TV and then playing the Airwolf computer game on Commodore 64..
Airwolf is one of those shows that had a super solid first season and then its like...we've seen that now over and over. Loved the show and great playing.

I am a musician who, back in the late 80's/early 90's, worked as a studio musician. While I did spend a lot of that part of my career as a backing musician for various solo artists, I also recorded music tracks for some TV commercials and even twice had the privilege of recording music for a TV show's soundtrack. So, trust me when I say that you have done something very special here! You have brought back extremely fond memories of one of my favorite shows of the 80's and its equally awesome theme music. Your version here, if I may say so, is even better than the original, and I REVERED that theme!
Speaking of TV themes, I was in a band back in about '92 which I was the keyboardist for, and we opened our shows with our version of the Battlestar Galactica theme. The 1978 Galactica, not the '04 remake. I liked the remake much much more, but the *_theme_* of the '78 series was FAR better. I played the main melody of the theme on my beloved Oberheim OB-x and the backing chords and other sounds on a PPG Wave 2.3. I bring this up because I feel that you could easily do that theme justice and would love to hear your musical interpretation of BSG '78!
Keep up the utterly *_amazing_* work and soulful passion!
SUPER WOOOWWWW!!!!!! YOUR COMMENT IS SO WONDERFUL!!! Receiving these magnificent compliments from a true musician, for me, is truly an IMMENSE joy as well as a great personal satisfaction!!! I love everything from the past and these tracks are truly something unforgettable! How many beautiful experiences you have had!! YEAH!!!! Battlestar Galactica has a wonderful musical theme and the one from 1978 is the best! I thought I would try to recreate it 1:1 (orchestral version) but with your comment, you made me want to try also to create a synthesized version of this classic (in Jean-Michel Jarre style) and I think it would be very fun and interesting do some experiments. Thank you for your trust and for this idea... if I will be able to create it in the future, it will be dedicated to you, my friend :) THANK YOU OF HEART DAVE, FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND FOR YOUR AWESOME SUPPORT!!! I really appreciate it :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers See, I knew there was a reason why I dig your stuff so much...any fan of JMJ has some serious influence at their fingertips. I think you could do a wonderfully awesome version of BSG in your own style. I've now binged all your videos and can't wait for the next one! Keep up the great work and stay inspired.

Old school Battlestar had all the best sound effects, cylons scared the crap out of me as a child
@@davesmith6794 I was also a big fan of the Battlestar Galactica 1978 theme (Jerry Goldsmith, I believe? Just looked it up: Stu Phillips), but I'm gonna have to strongly disagree on which was better, 1978 or 1980 BG. To me the only episode I liked in the 1980 version was "The Return of Starbuck" which ironically was possibly the best episode of the entire franchise prior to the reboot, IMO.
Anyway, for anyone who wants to hear the original theme, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/vzyHxYxc-Mo/v-deo.html
Airwolf was such a great show... man. We used to watch it as a family on the old tube television in the 80's 👍
YEAH!!!!!! Along with Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, A-Team and Starsky and Hutch were my favorite TV series!!! GREAT!!!! In the 80s, things were appreciated a lot more and even watching television was a beautiful occasion to be together with family and friends :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Absolutely.. you are right. They were better times.
U gotta make cades county google the intro
There’s beauty in the simplicity of this theme.
* “Simplicity” in terms of no lyrics, no silly/crazy jingles or sound effects. Just great music.
Excellent concept, man!!!!! I think exactly like you... Sylvester Levay created a real masterpiece with this track!!! I've always enjoyed clean tracks and with a great rhythm, like those that were done in the past. Exaggerating with sounds/notes/effects in a track does not mean that it is more beautiful and professional... quite the opposite!!
What ever music came from 80's it's fantastic..my chillhood theme..😍😍😍
I didn’t grow up in the 80s Andi still think that’s the coolest thing I’ve heard today
You have an excellent musical taste!!!!! There are many pearls of the past to be rediscovered. Thanks again for writing me :) :) :)

My thoughts exactly man that will be cool thing to see on live TV -
AND with all due with the upmost respect - Just So You Know,
The AH-64 APACHE is actually armed with a 30mm Cannon not a 20mm.
Oh baby this and Streethawk made me run through the house and jump on the couch as a kid! Miss those good old 1980’s days
Yeah, the TV series and cartoons of those years (including the 90s ones) had exactly this effect on me too... what beautiful memories!!!!
I grew up in Burbank and one day I woke up and they were filming a movie next-door to my house.
So I went over and walked on the set and Jan Michael Vincent was just sitting outside getting some sun.
He let me kick it with him for 20 minutes or so before he had to go and do his scene.
Real cool dude!
WOOWWWW, WHAT A LUCK... It must have been a fantastic experience!!!! :) :) :)
I don't understand why they haven't made an Airwolf movie. It would be amazing.
the original pilot episode was a 2hr movie.
It was the originals of the Airwolf starting the original cast plus David Hemmings. Excellent pilot episode in always
They could use the cool new Sikorsky Raider X helicopter or they could find another Bell 222 and dress it up like the original Airwolf.
They'd end up turning it into a garbage comedy.
Probably would put in a chick and make her g*y and lame.
Surely the main role would be for The Rock.
My goodness, this sent shivers down my spine. I was instantly a kid back in the 80s. Loved Airwolf - they should relaunch it.
I was never that hardcore into Airwolf like I was in Magnum or the A-team or Knight Rider or Miami Vice. But that intro is fucking badass.
Flying Knight Rider! That 80s "it's a dude with a high tech vehicle" genre was amazing.
Yeah, in those years they had a lot of brilliant ideas and the composers completed the work with their unforgettable musical masterpieces!!!
all this 80s tv series theme songs are legend...grew up watching Airwolf, Mcgyver, ATeam, Knight Rider...such a bless
It is my same thought!!!!! I too, I grew up with these gems... others of my favorites were CHiPs, The Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice and many more. Also the animated series, in those days were fantastic... really another era!!!
@@KOSmusicovers animated series!! hell yeah!! can u play M.A.S.K theme song?
@@marcusyeong Absolutely yes, it is already on my list and one day, I hope to be able to do it!!!! :) :) :)
The 31 people who disliked this video are probably Blue Thunder fanboys.
@Justin Molnar hahah or Iron Eagle
@@XnazxulX lol
I love both, so nah.
Catch you later 😊
LOL! I hate to say this but I saw Blue Thunder in the theaters and so was a Blue Thunder fanboi. Oh, the Blue Thunder/Airwolf arguments we would get into....
Catch ya later.
Without a doubt one of the coolest if not the coolest TV theme tune of all time.
Absolutely yes, along with Knight Rider and Street Hawk are my favorite TV themes (synth based)!!!! :) :) :)
Knight Rider is about tied with Airwolf in this regard.
Beautiful. I love this theme song. I "hear" it in my mind. I would always be so happy for each new episode every week. How I wish I could see Airwolf herself and touch her nose. It was a dream of mine to get a ride with her. I know the original copter is gone. Now I have a new dream to find a Bell 222 and rebuild Airwolf to series specs. And have everything working. It's a huge project, the only thing that will be difficult is the armor. And the turbos. But it would be so fun. Also have to figure a way to give her her voice. The scream.
Perhaps someday.
Great show.. perfect music... every squirt who grew up in the 80s wanted to be in that cockpit with Dom and hawk...
THAT WAS AWESOME! PURE NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I'm very pleased to know this :) :) :)
GAWD I miss the 80s. Every time I hear music like this I get all nostalgic and wish I could be a kid growing up in that era again. I say constantly that the 80s was the pinnacle of American pop culture. Sure there's been some great things since, but nothing can ever top that entire decade.
Totally agree with you, Dan!!! These were eras in which, thanks to true passion, pioneering ingenuity and the desire to create spectacular things, they managed to make masterpieces like this but also movies, cars & motorbikes, toys and many other things timeless. Even advertising back then was a work of art (today it's just to sell like everything else unfortunately). The thing that saddens me most is that the majority of people today are satisfied with very little :/ before you had to be as special as Michael Jackson to be able to sell records and attract the public. Now with two meaningless synth sounds, an autotune voice and a video that anyone could make at home alone, they manage to sell millions of this "pseudo music" and believe themselves to be talented "artists". Dire Straits, Tina Turner, Scorpions, Giorgio Moroder, Jan Hammer, Bee Gees and many others... these are true artists who have made the history of music :)
Music still gives me the chills. You always knew that when the music started and visor dropped, shit was going down!
This is so good and accurate it doesn’t even sound like a cover
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NOELHT!!!!!!!! You don't know how much joy reading your wonderful compliments gave me :) :) :)
Such an awesome example of a theme song...it just instantly makes me excited and happy to hear it.
OH YEAH!!!!! It is one of the most beautiful themes ever composed... powerful, clean and exciting!!!
Listening to this brings me back to my childhood in the '80s GREAT COVER!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! It is really a great pleasure to know that my tribute made you remember the good times!!! :) :) :)
I was a bit too young in 1984, but I was enjoying the tv show maybe 10 years later or less.
I remember I played the videogame Comanche in MS-DOS and play the game like I was the Airwolf pilot.
You did a great job recreating this piece.
GREAT!!!!! They are beautiful memories, Lars!! I too, I was able to watch many of those TV series only years later (being born in 1985), but I immediately passionate about everything, including music!! Oh Yes, I remember the Comanche series... I also had the 4!! Golden years also for video games and many other things. Thank you again for your beautiful comment and for having appreciated my work on this :) :) :)
Airwolf, Knight Rider, MASK and Voltron.. All shows with the most kick ass theme songs.
You sit, did this song most triumphantly.
YEAH!!!!!! All these themes are truly amazing!!! WOOWWW!!!! Thank you very much for your AWESOME compliment... it is an immense joy to know that you liked my tribute :) :) :)
Very well done. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't know it's not the original.
WOOWWW!!!!!! It is really a great satisfaction to know that my cover seemed you very similar to the original!!! Thank you so much for your MEGA SUPER compliments :) :) :)
I've been watching this off and on now for a couple years, I keep coming back, I love this cover, the music, the editing, just all outstanding /salute
FABULOUS!!!!!!! I'm so happy to know this, Amariah!!! It really means a lot to me and is a great encouragement to create more videos!!! Thank you so much for your special comment and I send you a big hello too :) :) :)
Iconic, giving me chills... love it
GREAT!!!!!! It is such a wonderful theme and I'm really happy that you liked my version!!! Thank you very very much :) :) :)
One of my favorite themes from my childhood played so brilliantly. This gives me goosebumps, love it!
GREAT!!!!!! It is an immense joy to know that you liked so much my tribute to this classic!!!! Thank you very much for your awesome comment, Tray :) :) :)
You absolutely nail these themes. As a child of the 80s, I watched all these shows way too often. Listening to these themes, I can practically feel the anticipation of my inner 8 year old waiting for this week’s episode. You captured all the little details so well (sound, sets, and title card graphics). If you were to move to 80s video games music, I’m really looking forward to Spy Hunter :) Thank you so much for your amazing work!!
YOUR COMMENT IS REALLY AMAZING!!!!! I'm very happy that you liked my covers and that they sent you these emotions, this is INCREDIBLE!!! It is a great satisfaction to read your beautiful words Richard and they go straight to my heart!!! Me too, I am of the 80s (1985) and I have always watched these wonderful TV series 70s/80s (Thunderbirds, Space: 1999, CHiPs, Airwolf, A-Team, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, Miami Vice, The Duke of Hazzard, MacGyver, T.J. Hooker etc). Many many good memories!!! YEAH, GREAT!!!!!! I played Spy Hunter in the game rooms!! I add it immediately to the list of covers on request to be recreated in the future!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING, MY FRIEND :) :) :)
Richard Yu
Spy Hunter, the drive & destroy car arcade game that had absolutely nothing to do with spies?
Great game. Second only to RoadBlasters
The theme was just the 'Peter Gunn Theme" on a MIDI system though wasn't it?
@Joe Kinchicken the fuck is your problem, bud? This guy is supremely talented and he nailed the theme perfectly.
@Joe Kinchicken This is not a challenge with who grew up before or after the 80s. Jealous? If anything, I admire who managed to live the best years of the past to the full! I have seen and listened to these classics since I was 3 (thanks to my parents) and I also remember Hulk, The Addams Family, Wonder Woman and Dallas very well. So in your opinion, should I pretend not to remember the emotions I felt when I was a child looking at these masterpieces and not to recreate these songs because "YOU" think that I am not worthy because too young at the time? I only tell you this: I will continue to express my memories with my covers (making people remember the good memories). Your comment is very immature and I think that even if you are older than me, from how you wrote you look like a child of 10 year old, full of hatred towards other generations who will undoubtedly give more emotions with their passion for music unlike you, who will you continue to write useless comments for always.
@turbohusque Unfortunately there are people who are too "theoretical" and poor in feelings who cannot understand things in the right direction but I am really pleased that there are people like you who appreciate my passion!!!! You are very kind!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY FRIEND :) :) :)
Playing my childhood right there. Perfect cover, thank-you.
OH WOOOWWW, MAN!!!!!! It is a great joy to know this!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LUKE, FOR YOUR AWESOME COMMENT :) :) :)
OK...... one of my most favorite shows of all time... and you have recreated it. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Oh yes, one of the best ever... what quality TV in those days and how much unforgettable music!!!! Very happy to have received a wonderful comment from a fan of this TV series like you!!! Thank you so much, Rivard :) :) :)
this Melody is unique!!! the beginning of this track
absolutely fantastic!!! Back to the 80 ́s!!! Childhood dream!!! Great!!!
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this too and that it brought you back the good memories!!! Thanks again for this magnific comment :) :) :)
Eat your heart out Dominic Santini, cause Stringfellow Hawke is back in the pilot seat!
Awesome job indeed......as always!
YEAH!!!!!! It makes me really glad that you liked this version!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY FRIEND FOR THIS FABULOUS COMMENT!!!! :) :) :)
This is close to the creation of the original. Thank you. Feels like yesterday.
It is truly a great honor and an immense joy to know this!!!!!! Thank you so much for your very special compliments :) :) :)
It's like watching the whole intro in my head. THAT GOOD this cover is.
OH WOOOWWW, MAN!!!!!!!! It is really a great satisfaction to read your special words and I'm really happy that you enjoyed my work on this classic!!! Thank you so much for everything, Andrés :) :) :)
A great show and a great theme song!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Brings me waaaaaaaaaay back... there were some awesome themes back in the day and this is one of them!!
YEAHHH!!!!! I agree with you!!! The past is unbeatable as quality, creativity and emotions!!! I am really happy that my cover has transmitted you these emotions... it fills my heart with joy!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MY FRIEND, FOR YOUR FABULOUS COMMENT :) :) :)
Thank you for this song, I still miss it until now.
Thanks to you for appreciating my version of this unforgettable TV series!!!! :) :) :)
Dang it Kos! Had this playing the background and I found myself drive down the freeway at 90+! 😳😏
Man we had some of the best shows growing up in the 80s! 😎
:D I understand you... some types of music can have this kind of effect, like Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" and Robert Tepper's "No Easy Way Out"!! Oh yes, the 70's/80's TV series are just incredible (including their fantastic themes)!!! Thanks again for your awesome comment :) :) :)
This reminds of my teenage years. Air Wolf & Knight Rider were my fav TV program at that time
GREAT!!!!! It is really fantastic to know this :) :) :) Yeah, two unforgettable TV series of the time together with "Miami Vice" and many others... golden years!!!
I loved this opener as kid! So good.
If you just played the music without the video, I would have had a hard time believing it's a cover. This is spotlessly brilliant.
OH WOOWWW, MAN!!!!! It is really incredible to know this and I'm very happy that you liked my version!!!! MANY MANY THANKS MATE, FOR YOUR GREAT COMPLIMENTS :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Really, I have to agree with 0x777! This showed up on the queue suggested by the algorithm while I was away from my PC doing other stuff and when I heard it it brought back ALL the feel from the show, I had to play it again and actually watch the video to believe it was a cover! Truly great work, liked and subscribed!
Back again for this awesome cover.👍👍 never gets old.
Loved this show. Great memories.
Yesssss!!! Seriously I was beginning to think I was the only one who ever watched that show!
FANTASTIC, MATE!!!!! Fortunately, we are a great group of fans who love Airwolf and all the other TV series of the past :) :) :)
Oh heck no, I bought the full remastered series on blu-ray just a few months ago.
Masterpiece!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, TOBI!!!! :) :) :)
One of my all time favorite theme songs from childhood!
Years ago, I was at a comic convention. I was roaming around when I stopped at one of the exhibitors. He had a TV and it was showing something I instantly recognized. "AIRWOLF!" I shouted excitedly. 😁 The exhibitor looked at the TV and simply smiled at me. I hadn't seen the series in MANY years. I remembered this show from my childhood. I even had a poster on my wall. I never had a toy Airwolf but I did had a toy helicopter and pretended it was Airwolf. Fond memories.
GREAT!!!!!! :) :) :)
