-------------------
Got a wacky one for you today! This was yet another Dwelling of Duels arrangement (4 months in row for the first time! Gonna try and keep the streak up), and this one somehow managed to get 2nd place out of 40 amazing entries by very talented musicians! Little shoutout to the DoD community who are super wholesome, helpful, and all around a great group to be a part of.
First and foremost, what is the deal with this one?! Well, this cover is intended to be a direct homage, and, to be frank, kind of a love letter to one of my favourite songs ever, Cockroach King by Haken. Some of you probably know it, but in case you don't, it's this wild 8-minute song that has everything from heavy dissonant riffs, acapella sections, weird sounds, super well phrased solos, and much more. While this is still very much an arrangement of Slam Shuffle, and there aren't really any direct musical quotes from Cockroach King aside from some dissonant chords and drum fills, I tried my best to emulate the vibe and structure of that song. It's only half as long obviously, as there is only so much musical content to work with from Slam Shuffle, but I think it's as long as it needs to be, and I did everything I wanted to with it.
I want to give another VERY VERY special thanks to Brandon Strader, BadHairlineProductions, and Sumask for lending their soloing talents to this song, it wouldn't sound the same without them! Check out their channels here:

(speaking of Sumask, he also made his own arrangement of Slam Shuffle that's quite different from mine, and I even played a solo on it! • Slam Shuffle - Final F... )

Thanks a lot for having me on this one, great work as usual! And I hope you noticed my Cockroach King reference in my solo ;)
No, thank you! Also shit did you do that?? I somehow didn't notice hahaha
You got Haken's sound down so well! Uematsu always goes well with prog but this is honestly amazing.
Thank you so much!
I don't know what Cockroach King is, but this was a really fun cover! Awesome job to the guests also!
I see have some educating to do
This is so sick!!!! Omg BHP's bass solo and Sumask's guitar solo are phenomenal holy crap!!! This one of my favorites of yours so far, and not just cause it's FFVI haha
Thanks so much haha! Yeah everyone's note choices in their solos are just 👌
Btw this was the song I was gonna have you play on if you said yes lmao
@@TripleBMusic oh yeah!!! I like what the keyboardist did so XD I don't know if I could've come up with something like that haha
Liked the little motif callback at 2:26
Never in my life would i think of combining Cockroach King and FFVI, let alone think of them in the same sentence. I wish i had your imagination, great work!
How did this turn into a They Might Be Giants song?!
Haha. Fantastic as usual.
I love Slam Shuffle excellent groovy and powerful work on it
Hell yeah everyone!! Always really liked this song and this was awesome to listen to! Did not expect the vocals like that and that's a really cool idea! Always a fan of the old school breakdown riffs too. Well done to everyone involved!
Haha thanks! The vocals had to be done since this whole thing is meant as a homage to a specific song I love
Fantastic Brandon. Congrats buddy.
At first I thought of "King Cockroach", a song which I love. But this is still good!
This tune was incredibly groovy, and the arrangement is so cool man! Love the vocals and all the great guest solos :)
Perfect timing cause I'm going through the pixel remaster right now
Saw this already but I didn’t leave a comment because I couldn’t even. This is fucking sick
Damn this is sick! The vocals were super cool and the guests did an amazing job!
Also nice Triple B shirt, I love that guy, I play Fall Guys with him every weekend. He's a cool dude!
Thanks man! Oh yeah I hate that guy, always grabbing people with his dumb duck hat
@@TripleBMusic that is annoying, but his dad jokes make up for it!
AMAZING!
Thank you 😄😊
