The Instinct (Killer Instinct Theme)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2021
- One of my favourite fighting arcade games growing up was Killer Instinct and always loved the orginal theme song. I decided to do a version of it, splicing Robin Beanland's original version with hints of Mick Gordon's newer version in there adding a bit of guitar shred from yours truly for good measure!
Had fun working on this in between being in the studio working on new Five Finger Death Punch music and a new solo single coming out soon \m/

As a 90's kid..this is my Stairway to Heaven
Fuck yeah
Same here 🙋
Ohhhhh well said!
😊@@horusosiris5488
Im 40 and spent entire summers playing KI in arcades and on the SNES . This is heaven.
Ultra Ultra Ultra
Ditto
Man.. that song is pure nostalgia!
Me too
me too, I turn 40 in a week
Dude I'm 47, 1994 was my senior year when KI came out... I dumped a shit-ton of quarters in that game... this.... dude this is absolutely badass... almost 30 years later and still the BEST fighting game theme. Nostalgic AF for me. Rock on my man
Omg there's more than one of me. Cheers dude
Exact same age and story here 👍@@AndyBonesSynthPro
@@josephvaccaro876 KI original and KI gold were the best.
I bought super Nintendo just for KI.
@@AndyBonesSynthPro looks like there's 4 of us. Same here and dude up above me 😁
I’m in the gym, and that outro at 3:27 is still one of the nastiest and filthiest outros I’ve ever heard.
Pure epic-industrial brutality.
Listening to it literally gives me at least 3 more reps when I’m completely depleted.
I just seen a man put his entire soul and universe into some strings
enough to make a grown man cry...
Thank you for uniting me and many others together to hear your story
Thanks for your support \m/
KI was a pinnacle achievement in gaming. Nicely done.
The original is a highly nostalgic theme for me , but this makes the hairs on my neck stand on end, just outstanding
Where can I find the original?
@@Andithewicked just search it
The same. I start squeezing an imaginary joystick in my hands and repeating combos😂
Great job, I can’t stop listening 😊
it's been 8 days, are u still loopin this song?
I have been obsessed with this song for as long as I can remember. I owned the CD that came Long with the game and played the track "the Instinct" on repeat. This was back in '95 and here we are 2021 and I still listen to it. Now it was covered by Andy James?!?!? My ears are crying with joy!
That's exactly what I think and what I feel right now...this is a dream come true... I've loved this tune ever since I got the game in the 90s, I have the CD right here too... Cheers bro!
same here man!
Damn. I forgot about the CD.
I still have the game and the Nintendo console. And the controllers... FIGHT!
I know it sounds cliché, but it's pretty cool to see I'm not alone!
We the fans would really appreciate to see some of the mix and mastering process and thoughts behind the tone and overall sound you have achieved.
I agree with RK here. I would love to see the mix, and creative process you use. Chasing tones seems to be a thing too. 😎😎
I’ve definitely considered it, I’ve even tried shooting it. But I get like 10 minutes in and realise it’s not really that interesting haha but that’s just me thinking it’s not I suppose rather than what others might get from it. It’s a relatively simple process I guess, it’s not like 7 hours of content or anything like some mix tutorials
@@floevo You could totally do an interview with Robert Baker or any number of online folks and do a dive into tone, and equipment. I geek out on that type of thing, and it may seem boring, but it is a basis for your art, like a painter's choice of brushes and canvas. 😎
@@floevo try it out for a couple videos and see how many likes and view it gets. I’ll be there, just remember , ANYTHING YOU PUT OUT IM A FAN OF BIG TIME. your thought process and tones in your head translate to pure excellence and that’s what I like.
Bro, glad to see you here I agree with you. I'm blown away by the tone and playing.
It's one of the best opening songs made for games even in my opinion. congratulations on the work, you play a lot.
The best game in the series !!!!

Absolutely sick, you have the styles of John Petrucci, Steve Via, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malsteen all wrapped up in one, you are truly a gift from God
amen. He is the best of all of those guys rolled into ONE package. and no bad songs ever whereas even Joe (one of my idols) has an occiasional stinker :) JP on the other hand (my guitar hero).... but Andy is the PINNACLE. best bang for your buck and WAY WAY underrated player
@@sjsphotog You cant compare him with Joe and JP. Those guys are created an era for melodic rock. Because they are not only players but also composers who can affect thousands.
Mélodie please
more like the style of a 48 hit combo shutdown.
I bought all his Lick Library DVDs - invested $200 or so - money well spent ! He’s an amazing teacher - they’re so dope ! Andy is def one of the best ever in his genre - He and Marco are my favorites- progressive shred metal all day \m/ \m/
Andy James never disappoints...one of the most consistent musicians around
This takes me back to being a kid playing gold on n64 and listening to the killer cuts cd. Still have my dad's 64 but sadly lost KI gold along with all his 64 games in a robbery. Killer Instinct, starfox, war zone and ocarina of time were my favorites along with forsaken 64
I never got into Killer Instinct seriously, but man...it's still iconic. Love this cover btw. It brought back so much nostalgia. ULLLLTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's just so good. What a homage to killer Instinct and the original composer. I'm saying it.... flawless. That was spectacular.
Я работаю шиномонтажником в городе Анапа, просыпаюсь и перед работой слушаю эти композиции.... взбадривает )
а я в теплице в ростове бодрюсь с Энди!!!
Мужики, респект ✊ вам! Я дизайном в Подмосковье занимаюсь. Тоже иногда под Энди :)
@@user-qn2bn3dp2l а я треню под Энди сейчас...Джеймс этот сукин сын ))) умеет удивлять !!!Признайтесь ребята наверняка сами гитарите?))
в машине в дороге часто включаю этого монстра. играю совсем любительски дома.
@@sasha171 Ну в основном слушатели его музыки сами гитаристы, не важно какого уровня ...нас таких домашних много)))
wow! this should become the official version immediately!
I literally don't know why I can't stop listening to this... It's one of the best plays I've ever heard. 😎
Why is this theme song so addictive. Keep looping back to it since... well... Super Nintendo! Most of all, you freaking rocked it dude!
because it's excellent song
Because its one of the best intro themes in gaming. Veeeery few come close.

Interstate '76
best game soundtrack in my experience
0:50 made me shiver with nostalgia. Beautifully executed man, truly!
Honestly one of the top tier musicians ever to enter UA-cam. The man loves music and we love hearing it.
WHOOAA!!!! Completely sick my friend 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Впервые за 12 лет ютуб в джеме годную вещь вставил, приятная с первого же звука. Блеск, спасибо исполнителю!
Вы знаете это волшебное ощущение когда ты начинаешь слушать интересную вещь, тебя переполняет вот это нежное, тонкое и перспективное чувство что то что ты слышишь Очень Годное, и ты буквально идешь вслед за треком и хочешь чтобы не было косяков и все было на столь же высоком уровне как и началось. Вот это оно.
Good sound,digital quality.
Звучит отлично, согласен, я видос поискал сам услышав случайно рифф из темы. Не буду тут рекламировать других ютуберов, но есть один турецкий бородатый крутой гитарист играющий в таком же стиле, фамилия Очайон
His phrasing is absolutely amazing ! He builds all the tension in the world with tasteful playing and then blows you away with his warp speed runs !
Once again, here he comes on his rocket ship of shredness, we want to see you live Andy Plz come to the states and show everyone you are here!!!!! you are the best guitar player of our time....my son is 13 and can't get enough of you....bro you inspired him to play.....bless you brother for doing that for him......we will never forget !!!
I am embarrassed at how many times I have listened to and watched this. I will never tell anyone. This so fucking good.
I listen to this track 4 days a week. There isnt a single workout i do without Andy J in my ears. Melody meets sensational shred. ❤
One of my favorite guitarists, playing the theme of one of my favorite games ... what else can I say? Thanks for everything!
His cable isn't even fully inserted and his tone is immaculate! 🤘
Simplesmente o melhor é a melhor versão que encontrei até hoje, o cara é mostro , imbatível🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
realmente o cara é muito bom, mas eu acho q a versão do Mick Gordon é melhor!
Muita nostalgia né
AGR que lembrei que meu perfil é do fulgore a mais de anos
Bicho é pika demais, minha inspiração na guitarra desde os meus 16 anos !
@@fulgore1663 gosto muito do fulgore meu personagem preferido eu jago
Tune from my childhood done with impressive respect. Amazing.
I watched this quite a few times now just had to leave a comment to tell you how amazing this is. For us 40+ year olds growing up in high school in the early 90s playing this game at the arcades is mega nostalgia for us. KI was THE arcade game that dominated the scene back then. Hearing the theme music and the “ultraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa combooooooo” and “c-c-combo breakerrrr” was just mesmerizing. Your take on this theme was amazing, I love every note and touch you played. It accents everything perfectly, and then the very end riffs - got us all in the feels my friend. That character select music is so brutal, this is a 10/10 my friend. Bravo!
Brought literal tears to my eyes... this is ascended beyond all that is.
Never played guitar in my life, but this... this makes it very tempting to at least try.
After listening this track a lot of times now I can't imagine any other versions including original at 1st places. Now to me this is original. This is how it should sound when I'm playing KI.
This combines the best of both versions. I actually want this as the theme for the next game, if that's possible.
No me canso de escuchar esta version con mi hijo , tengo 43 años y mi hijo 4 y ama killer instinct y esta version. De seguro aprendera de aca ya que le tengo su guitarra electrica lista. Saludos desde temuco chile. Los mas brijidos de killer instinct arcade version.
This guy is insane. Nicely played😀
I just started learning and practicing guitar, there's a few cover themes I want to learn. KI, especially your cover on it, is one of them. Thank you for the inspiration.
Sometimes I wonder how much those games and soundrack did actually shaped our music tastes... I didn't even knew what metal was, back then... and now is part of my life for the last 15 years. That, Zelda, and Banjo & Kazooie. Gawd
Banjo Zelda and ki? Hi soulmate :3
@@jensklingenmaier1745 Hi to you too, my friend 😁😁
It never gets old !! Andy delivering another masterpiece ...Killer track..
Just love Andy he is so consistent with his music and creates a real feeling. His balance is perfect and he does a good job with emotion as well with just enough showmanship. Keep it up Andy love all of your stuff.
I love it when Andy plays melodically like this.... Great melody lines, and fantastic playing. Love it!
Amazingly precise and melodic, just brilliant.
This brought on some HD memory flashbacks, such a groovy tune
I would love to see this guy's interpretation of the NES Contra theme.
i miss vertexguy -_-
VOMITRON IS WHAT YOU SEEK.
Yeeees
why you always put ELITE nuances in your melodies. CLASS !! ive been following and idolizing you since your lick library days !!
Ouso dizer que foi a melhor versão que ouvi até hoje. Thank you Andy!
This brings back good memories of me playing it on my SNES back in the day. Excelent cover, I love it.
This is one of the best covers of anything I have ever heard!
"Killer combo riff" (perfect) ...
nicely done 😎👍
Anyone who remembers the original game in the arcade can tell you that whatever speakers they installed in the games arcade booth was crazy compared to other game units. The speakers were LOUD, sounded clear, and had some serious bass to them. You couldn’t walk by the machine without hearing the music blasting and the announcer saying. ‘Killllerrrr instinctttt”
I think I’ve listened to this about 20 times now 🤔😎
Love it! Thanks Andy for doing this!
Dude!! This sounds exactly like it! I was not expecting a cover to be so freakin awesome!!
One of my favourite fighting arcade games ....... 👍👍👍It's a great pleasure to see someone at your level apply their ideas on top of this foundation.
Chills at 3:27.... "Fight mode!... C-c-c-c-combo breaker!"
I like the chemistry between your guitar and your environment!!!!😍
The year is 2022, I am listening to this on repeat because there is nothing else as metal. Great job Andy!
Nicely done 🎸 Congrats!
Undisputed best guitarist today.
Melody plus technique
Yea he’s miles ahead of most players.
I will never reach his level but I’m happy with that
Oh man, very nice and nostalgic feelings, thanks for this masterpiece.,
I keep coming to this video over and over again. It just makes my world a better place.
Very impressive! happy to hear originals of yours always.
Havent heard this theme since the 90s. Great job and killerrrrrrr solo!
Fantastic. For me there isn’t a better hard rock/metal player on the planet better than Andy.
If you have not heard it yet, I highly encourage you to look up "Wave of Synergy".
Espectacular gracias
A beautiful story about craftmanship and domination told by Andy James !
Blessings !
Saw this and clicked immediately. I remember having the "Killer Instinct" CD that came with the SNES game. One of the best game soundtracks ever, and you did an amazing job with it. Any chance to get a metal version of Sabrewulf's original theme lol
Dude that would sound great !
Yup! 😀
Dude I remember that shit wish I still had it
Killer kuts or something like that
That would be sick!
He's such a beast, an inspiration. Long live the king! 👑
Immediately saw Idol walking towards me with that dang mace! Awesome job.
Especially with the last riff. Still gives me chills. *FIGHT ON
Nostagic! Wonderfull! Awesome!
This song is wonderful, my whole 90's childhood will be unforgettable. Thanks for that Andy !
Amazing, Love this Jam very up lifting and inspiring!! Another Awesome Jamm by Andy James!! Makes me grab my guitar and just Jamm🎸🎸🎹🎹🥁🥁🎧🎧
You are amazing man, one of the best, if not the best version I heard of this theme
Increíble versión!!! Una digitación impresionante!
I have seen you on UA-cam, i have seen You in Munich live... Keep on doing what you do brother. be proud of yourself. You are worth it.....
Ultraaa! The tone and the playing is awesome!
This is a super dope rendition of the KI theme. Kudos man!
La mejor versión realizada por lejos 👌🏻👌🏻 tremendo juegazo killer instinct 👌🏻
One of the best KI covers I've ever heard. you ROCK.😎
It always amazes me how well you both write and play! Loved this one!
Extraordinar!
Just when you think the theme song can’t get any better 🤯 absolutely fantastic !
Damn dude! I was not expecting that. I was playing Killer Instinct in the arcade in 94 at the age of 14, about the same time I got into guitar. This is really great, subbed.
WOW bravo me encanta, que habilidad, me gusta esta versión
Goosebumps from where the lead kicks in.
Thank you, that was beautiful, greetings from Mexico.
What a song Andy it really hits you hard it rules man keep up the great work
Kiesel Instinct! My all time favourite fighting game!!!
🤘🤯🤘 Damn... LOVED this!!! Power & beauty, all in one song. Subscribed!
Best cover of this song i`ve ever heard!
I did not know how much I needed that lead out to the champ select riff. \m/ \m/
This and Little V Mills iteration are my hands down favorite versions of what is to me the most epic and iconic metal gaming theme song of all time.
😮 beautiful play
Amazing performance I really do love to watch the entire video, you man, rocks! Love to see you working on the fulgore stage version of you mixing all killer instinct games would be so cool
When I was in college I worked in an arcade and we had Killer Instinct. Everyone tried to defeat the gameroom guy but they never could. They didn't have the Killer Instinct!
Holy Christ Andy. Outrageous song writing execution Bad Ass playing Sir. Brilliant. 🔥 🤘 🙏
Holy Christ? Ha Ha!
what a track! after a 12 hours shift, this is exact refresher I needed! thank you for making the track
Ultimate... Andy that was fantastic, thanks for the great playing a rendition of the tune.
ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOO
