    As I've said before, it's really intimidating taking on such a classic video game song. You have to take extreme care in not deviating away from the things people love about the original song and to make it different enough to be enjoyable not like the other five million covers of it. I transferred a lot of the lead parts to the rhythm guitar track to add clarity for the spots I wanted. If you listen closely, you can hear a high frequency sqeak everyonce in a while. After failing to find out what was causing it, I just assumed that EzDrummer needed WD-40 on the bass pedal. It happens. I mean, who's there to do maintenence on a synthesized drum machine? Not this guy.

    By far the best cover of this song. So much bass. And pseudo-breakdowns. You really didn't cover it, you made it your own. Much respect.

    Super impressed by the melody crafting in the first solo riff, especially at 0:48. Shows a true love for sonic games/music. Don't know how many people caught it, but you took part of the tonal progression for City Escape on Sonic Adventure 2, made it your own and incorporated it into Green Hill Zone. Fantastic Easter egg and very creative. Bravo.
    ...I wouldn't have been able to think of anything that cool. However if that was done by complete accident... WOW.

    I gotta say this one is one of your better mixed recordings. The lead guitar doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like in some other videos. Not that your playing is bad. You're very talented and I envy your ability to put these together so well. I also enjoy when you conclude your solos and then overlap the end of the solos with the main melody to transition back into the song. Very well done sir.

    I love this cover because you gave it your style and grace. Don't be afraid to make variations by adding your style, you made some excellent and exciting contributions to the versions you pulled off nicely of the A and B Theme's from Tetris and I wasn't pissed or anything, I mean if a song cover should sound the same as the original then why even bother to render a tribute to it. But that's just my humble opinion.
