I've always loved Kraid's Theme (particularly the the Smash Bros. arrangement for Brinstar Depths), so when I played through the original Metroid again a few months back, I decided I might as well try my hand at it.
Same (on liking the theme, and making a song). :) Very cool rendition! I've never heard one like this before! I like how jazzy, yet dance-oriented it is. Nice work. :)
WOOO! 10,000 views without a single thumbs-down! Thanks so much everyone for your support in reaching this huge landmark for this channel. You guys are awesome.
@creepersarecreeps That's why I'm here! ^__^ I only had access to crappy speakers and headphones the whole time I was writing this, and it wasn't until I got back home that I realized how much bass I'd pumped into it. That was a good day.
@Sin69oo Glad you enjoyed it! I work in Cakewalk Music Creator 5 (a cheaper version of Sonar) with a few virtual instrument plugins from Native Instruments. And the background was just me derping around with vectors in Photoshop to trace what I'd drawn.
@LugiaDialga Thanks so much! This has basically been my baby through a first quarter of college -- this song brought some much-needed stress relief when I really needed it. As for the graphic... thank five hours stuck in a car with my laptop and tablet! :P
Nice to see someone giving respectful feedback to someone's work, but it's not necessarily a good thing to remain completely faithful to the tune you're remixing. I can hear the discrepancies you're talking about, but I love it. It sounds fresh and new and different because of it, which is the point of a remix - to give a new approach to a familiar tune. Popular VGM remixes are a dime a dozen, so it's important to bring something new to the table, which I think was accomplished here.
This is my absolutely fave Metroid song of all time so it's always refreshing to hear other's takes on this incredible masterpiece I think. I love all the little things you did with the melody and the synth solo that comes in later on as well! Everything up to the stereo surround sound and panning sounds incredible! Heck not only is the song good but I must say I love the image you have here of the Kraid & Samus vector. Great job on yet another excellent remix! :D
MetroidVania have always been my favorite musics as far as games go, just beautiful, awesome remix im absolutely gonna buy it from amazon, good luck on finishing the original metroid!
This is the best song I have ever heard. I love it when I get those chills that run down your spine because something is so freakin awesome and this song made me get those chills.
This is a remix, not a cover. I changed bits of the original to give me more flexibility in creating something new while still very clearly retaining aspects of the original, which I think I achieved. If I wanted to avoid possible copyright issues, I wouldn't label it as Metroid music.
You seem pretty talented on remaking games songs.. you should try doing some more. Btw, that song is 1 of my favorite on metroid, my classical favorite i might add. Thanks for that Song :D and keep on making more!
@imperialsoul Cakewalk Music Creator (which is pretty cheap) with virtual instruments (which can get pretty pricey)... this one uses Native Instruments' "Kontakt" and "Massive."
I use Cakewalk Music Creator (but any MIDI sequencer would work) and a bunch of virtual instrument plugins, notably stuff from Native Instruments (Kontakt, Massive, and Battery for this song) As for sheet music, I'm sure it's out there, but I've never bothered looking for it. I work entirely by ear, cuz that's faster for me. ^__^
@AtinTheReal Does Amazon not work overseas anymore? I definitely had some Swiss friends try it out for me a few years back... and I completely understand avoiding iTunes forever. (iTunes is more expensive for you guys, but I get the same amount either way. just sayin.)
This is awesome! I only know the song because i played Super Smash Bros but besides that I love what you did here. Definitely expecting to hear some more great mixes :D You can thank Vsauce
Sorry you feel that way, but I can assure you that any "mistakes" I make are intentional. I often ignore "harmonic significance" for effect or simply because I think it sounds better. Either way, I find it a little insulting that you seem to think I haven't studied the theory behind my craft.
I think the people who thumbed down were crying on how awesome this one and that the tears obscured their vision that they accidentally disliked it. Thats the only thing I could think of that would make sense if they disliked it. >.> =~=
Dude, this is awesome. Great work. You ever checked out OCRemix? This sounds like a lot of the stuff from there, you would fit in perfectly with the other remixers. :P
Every time I play Metroid I make it to the first Energy Tank, then I'm like "Yessss! I actually have a chance". Then I die, get mad, (because you respawn in the same spot with only 30 health), rage quit, then I enter NARPAS SWORD and beat the game in 30 minutes.
Ah, but I have given full credit to Nintendo for the stuff that's theirs. I always file my remixes through the same copyright process as my original stuff, and as long as I make a note to credit and omit any unoriginal material from my claim, it'll pass through just fine. ...And if Nintendo this somehow threatens their franchise rather than promoting it, I'm sure they'll be the first to let me know! ^__^
:D very nice! i LOVE it, hope you keep uploading songs! may i make a request? if so... could you PLEASE, PLEASE remix Metroid Prime Tallon IV background music? Thanks :D
By far tje most spectacular remix of any video game song I have ever heard. There was that spark you sorf of captured in this. As a music enthusiast, I have to ask: What sort of program do you use in for work? Also as a newcomer in the remix department, I'm interested in finding out where you could maybe find the sheet for particular songs or notes? Would be most appreciated in a response! :)
Hey, would it be alright if I featured your song in video with a collection of ten Metroid remixes? I'll make sure to credit you in the credits and in the description (if you want me to). You can check out my other videos by searching "Jac0Frost0" and "Jac0Frost0 Zeldafree" in the search bar.
@SunDevilAaron You should head on over to iRule Castle then :P... Of my two Zelda mixes, it's the newer one. Plus I've already uploaded it. No Megaman yet, though...

I only just realized how old this is. Amazing music dude, on my yt playlist now
I've never played Metroid, so I've never heard it before, but this is just amazing. Definitely something I can listen to.

17 people had missile malfunctions when faceing kraid
Man this was so long ago i was watching Vsauce and that led me to this vid and the highlight brought me back to it good times :)
17, actually
At the time I posted the comment it was 15 let me fix that mate :). And there we go its fixed now.
@@videogamerNattie98 the number of people defeated by Kraid is increasing ! 22 now, keep up the good work Kraid :P
@@YatsuoKogame Yha i know 5 years later and we lost 5 more. So that is 1 per year.
@LugiaDialga Thanks so much! This has basically been my baby through a first quarter of college -- this song brought some much-needed stress relief when I really needed it. As for the graphic... thank five hours stuck in a car with my laptop and tablet! :P

This needs at least 496,265 more views
Happy 10th anniversary on the song Zack 😀
Wow, that's crazy to think about. Time sure flies, doesn't it!
@@ZackBogucki That it does my friend, that it does.
Oh and I’m five years behind the rest of the community nice lol
You've definitely got some talent. Best .99 cents I've spent on iTunes in a while
Holy carp. This is the best remix EVER. My life is now complete. Thank you.
Awesome! I came from vsauce2, and I'm really glad you got featured, because I love your music!
I love this, Kraid is my favorite track from the series and this is just an excellent re-imagining.

Absolutely my favorite metroid remix out there. I've listened to it regularly for a few months now.
@DubLifeStepBlood I've never had a video hit the 301 mark! (although UA-cam definitely needs to fix that...) I feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Personally, I tend not to like "electronic" music, but this one fits so well it's IMPOSSIBLE to dislike it. Awesome job!
I love the ending with the use of the opening them for Metroid! Great job!
This is excellent work!! Great job man I can tell you're talented and put a lot of effort into this.
This is the best song I have ever heard. I love it when I get those chills that run down your spine because something is so freakin awesome and this song made me get those chills.
It has been *so long* since a song has given me chills.
You sir are awesome for providing such a great song for such a great series. Let's not forget who made this all possible.
Daym that art is awesome. And the song that fits that awesomeness perfectly.
@Tori965 Haha! I don't have any of the equipment a DJ needs to put on a show, and even if I did, I can't really do any of this stuff realtime...
This is a remix, not a cover. I changed bits of the original to give me more flexibility in creating something new while still very clearly retaining aspects of the original, which I think I achieved. If I wanted to avoid possible copyright issues, I wouldn't label it as Metroid music.
Good man!
You seem pretty talented on remaking games songs.. you should try doing some more.
Btw, that song is 1 of my favorite on metroid, my classical favorite i might add.
Thanks for that Song :D and keep on making more!
Fantastic! Great reworking of my favourite childhood game theme.
@imperialsoul Cakewalk Music Creator (which is pretty cheap) with virtual instruments (which can get pretty pricey)... this one uses Native Instruments' "Kontakt" and "Massive."
this is awesome, i really hope you get popular dude, you got the talent. and yeah... VSAUCE ;d
Words cannot describe my love for this song.
Haha me neither! Thanks for your concern! :P
fuck yeah great work bro, feel free to do more metroid awesomeness in the future!
@randomstuff147 Have you tried making it its own repeating playlist and opening it in multiple browsers? That could be fun...
This is great, dude!
How could anyone dislike this?! Thinking about it hurts my brain! Nice work!
this is sick well done
Pretty nice retutch! Fricken good remix yo!!!
Absolutely amazing.
Best remix of this I'v heard yet, and I'm even making my own
@MaxGMmaple Glad I could help, however indirectly. Best of luck!
I think this is always gonna be my favorite kraid's lair remix, like, always.
I use Cakewalk Music Creator (but any MIDI sequencer would work) and a bunch of virtual instrument plugins, notably stuff from Native Instruments (Kontakt, Massive, and Battery for this song)
As for sheet music, I'm sure it's out there, but I've never bothered looking for it. I work entirely by ear, cuz that's faster for me. ^__^
This remix is like a credits theme good job :)

RedShirtGuy96 Correction: NARPAS SWORD0 000000 00000 ;b
This is a fun remix. I've been playing with a version of my own for a few months. I'm stuck... I wouldn't worry about copyright problems on this btw.
This song is just... FUCKING GENIUS!

Good stuff :)

@KraidTheBoss Well, looks like it's official then.
