I love the song, though i disagree about the game, it’s a little overrated. I would give it an 8.5/10. The FF that is closest to 10/10 would be FF9 in my opinion, it’s the most critically acclaimed.
You did Jenova very proud. She'd probably praise you for this glorious tribute in her name, if she wasn't always hellbent on wiping out humanity. Absolutely superb remix of the killer alien smother mother's theme.
The rate at which you've produced covers this month has been absolutely *_insane,_* every single one of them has sounded freaking incredible and the fact that they each only took a few days to produce is just astounding. You did an absolutely *phenomenal* job on this cover as always, Jonny, your covers never fail to impress!
The version in 2021's Playstation Tribute Medley already slaps but I'm super happy this got a full remix because this one goes H A R D. It's a popular FF track and you've made it sound unique, great job! OMG IRIS IS NEXT, which means another full version of a Pokemon champion theme, finally!!!
Nowadays, I always think about JENOVA on Mother's Day, which was two and a half weeks ago, mind you. This was also the first-ever Final Fantasy 7 song (and Final Fantasy music in general) that I've ever heard. Really great remix you've made, and a great way to end May madness as well.
This song always kicks ass and your cover doesn't fail to live up. I *love* the sequence near the end of the game before the final JENOVA fight where the party is going deeper and deeper into the crater with this song blaring as you fight through waves of enemies.
For some reason, I thought the medley with JENOVA was more recent than it is! It's always been top tier, though, so I'm glad to see it given the full treatment. That said... I also thought it was gonna be the last May Madness song this year, and I'd have to send my usual vote yet again next year... but look who's on the horizon :>
I unironically use the original version of this song as the ringtone for my mom! XD Might be able to replace that one soon... So far I've only watched my brother play FFVII, and saw a video of someone playing the remake... But I'm genuinely in love with it, and its soundtrack! Great Remix as always! This Soundtrack is really made for Metal, and no one could show it better! "Mother... Let's go to the promised Land!"
Hell yeah, this was my most wanted May Madness song and it's awesome to finally see it done! Sucks I couldn't get the gameplay footage tho, schoolwork and demotivation are an awful combo. That solo gives me life tho holy shit it's so good. Phenomenal job as always, Jonny!
I waited years for someone to finally cover this how I wanted it heard in my head. Thank you so much for once again being that artist. Also, may I use this as background music for my shorts? You can say no. Love the music regardless.
Jonny, really, really thanks for doing the 28th song that I asked in the UA-cam comments, and this time it's different, I asked for J-E-N-O-V-A, you made it in the PS1 Medley, and then did a full version. I will count both versions in the list, it currently is: - Pepsiman (Pepsiman) - Chill (Dr. Mario) [Medley] - Intro (Banjo-Kazooie) [Medley] - Slider (Super Mario 64) [Medley] - Buck Bumble Theme (Buck Bumble) [Medley] - K. Rool Duel (Donkey Kong 64) - Gusty Garden Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy) - Greenhorn Forest (Wario World) - Nitro Rider [Nitro Man Stage] (Mega Man 10) - You Will Recall Our Names (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) - Megamix Mania (Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled) - Reach for the Stars (Sonic Colors) - Final Bowser Battle (Super Mario Galaxy) - Dark Samus Battle (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption) - Main Theme (Crash Bandicoot) [Medley] - Encounter (Metal Gear Solid) [Medley] - J-E-N-O-V-A (Final Fantasy VII) [Medley] - Thunder Tornado [Tornado Man Stage] (Mega Man 9) - Lost In Thoughts All Alone (Fire Emblem Fates) - Solar Inferno [Solar Man Stage] (Mega Man 10) - Emerald Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) - Fight Against an Armed Boss (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) - Magikarp Festival (Pokkén Tournament) - Theme of Simon Belmont (Super Castlevania IV) - Live and Learn (Sonic Adventure 2) - The Great Sea (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker) [Medley] - Title Theme / Brinstar (Metroid) [Remake] - J-E-N-O-V-A (Final Fantasy VII) [Full Version] While I get that except for the Crash Bandicoot Main Theme, these requests were done for other people, it's OK, I also thank everyone who asked for these songs.
One-Winged Angel tends to be the most popular track from Final Fantasy VII, but I've seen J-E-N-O-V-A so highly rated among fans that I think it might just be the second most popular track from the game. Don't quote me on that, though, since it's not long Nobuo Uematsu has a shortage of epic bangers in any given Final Fantasy game. Wario and Pizza Tower have some great bangers, too! I hope to see Jonny do covers of a few of them one day! Wario series requests: -Glittertown from Wario Land: Shake It!/Greenhorn Ruins from Wario World -Introducing Wario Deluxe from WarioWare Gold -Wario Shipyard from Mario Kart 7 -Hurry Up! from Wario Land 4 -The Toxic Landfill from Wario Land 4 Pizza Tower requests: -It's Pizza Time! -Unexpectancy -Thousand March -Calzonification -Tubular Trash Zone
Incredible work man. I agree with a lotta the comments, the rate of both quantity and quality you’ve put out recently is kinda unfathomable. Rock on bröther 🤘🏻
NO WAY NO FRICKING WAY YOURE DOING IRIS’S THEME NEXT!! OMG IM SO EXCITIED!! I made a poll entry where I asked for her theme because her theme and black 2 mean so much to me. IM SO EXCITED😭😭😭
YES, YES, YES!!!!!! Thanks Jonny. You did one of the songs I asked for 5 years ago. Thank you. Just missing Shudder from Einhänder. I'll never give up on this song.
Oh hey! I was just thinking of this song and then down pops a cover! Good job as always, your renditions are always so good and satisfying to listen to. The way you mix them and the variations added to give every part a unique feel rather than just looping is something I really appreciate.
This rivals The Black Mages' own version, and I dare say I prefer this one. Thank you for taking the time to make this masterpiece. Side note, I love the shirt. XD
Kartikeya here for Day 291. Kartikeya must say that FFVII was not a game he grew up with. What's weird is that I grew up in that weird time where I played X (got to confronting Sin but due to how long the 4 boss fight gauntlet took was never able to enter it), a little bit of XII, but my bread and butter were the GBA remakes of I-VI. I loved those games to death.
This was amazing. FF7 is my favorite FF of all time, as it is with many others, and this cover was so good at combining awesome metal with the mysticality of the original. Great job again! And once again, Day 4 of asking for anything from The Messenger, preferably Howling Grotto. Other requests include Love the Subhuman Self and Maz Koshias theme.
@civilwildman One Winged Angel is great don't get me wrong, but I have J-E-N-O-V-A as #1, Birth of a god as #2 and One Winged Angel #3. Now the separation between these are very small and it is amazing that these are basically the 3 major songs of the game is crazy the epicness and quality that they all have
The true banger to FFVII. I love that after all of these years, you remain faithful to video game metal. Nobuo Uematsu, Black Mages, and the Earthbound Papas would be very proud of this arrangement.
dude i literally just looked this song up and saw this just barely uploaded 20 mins ago. i actually said "what the fuck?!" out loud 😂. awesome cover bro
2:13 is insane... I wasnt expecting this particular greatness out of this cover... since there is a million covers of that song... honestly, great cover, like always. Thank you :D
Day 292 and Kartikeya's glad a new song didn't drop for once. All these new pieces have left me very much exhausted keeping up. Also I miss O'Sharon. Even if it was small he at least left the little marks on each comment, thumbs upping them. Haven't seen them for weeks. I miss 'em. I wasn't mad at you, I was mad at when I happened to pull my alerts and saw your comment since I don't have my patreon login saved at work. So I couldn't do it at that time. I did remember that evening luckily, and did it, just haven't heard from them since....
I have been watching you for a long time now. Each and every video you put your entire soul into it. But in this video you have shown something else and for that you are awarded the title of "Grand Master ". Don't ever stop. Not only that the music is badass and nostalgic at the same time but they also get us through the tough times. So thank you Grand Master.....thank you....❤😊
I got to know this song from a koopa revenge and now that I've heard your version I'm glad to remember those beautiful moments playing this game I love you so much
Jenova's Witness
0:49 SPAMTON G.
SPAMTON makes his obligatory cameo in every piece of modern art
Everyone always talks about One-Winged Angel, but this is still such a banger
This remix broke the Jenova convention
10/10 remix for a 10/10 game
It's the man the myth the legend himself!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???!!!
I love the song, though i disagree about the game, it’s a little overrated. I would give it an 8.5/10. The FF that is closest to 10/10 would be FF9 in my opinion, it’s the most critically acclaimed.
This has been an excellent May Madness, and what a way to end it. 10/10
He ended it with the source of Sephiroth’s madness.
A Koopa's Revenge HD
You did Jenova very proud. She'd probably praise you for this glorious tribute in her name, if she wasn't always hellbent on wiping out humanity. Absolutely superb remix of the killer alien smother mother's theme.
Just because she's a genocidal alien doesn't mean she can't appreciate a bitchin' soundtrack.
The rate at which you've produced covers this month has been absolutely *_insane,_* every single one of them has sounded freaking incredible and the fact that they each only took a few days to produce is just astounding.
You did an absolutely *phenomenal* job on this cover as always, Jonny, your covers never fail to impress!
One of the best battle themes in video game history. It feels so alien and mysterious, it’s perfect
I totally agree with you! JENOVA is definitely in my top 10 best battle themes
Can’t wait to hear what they do with it in FF7R.
@@fury_blade9303 there’s already a version in final fantasy 7 remake, but who knows they might make another
@@solidskullz5736 wait really? Somehow I don’t remember it. We never fought Jenova in ff7R.
@@fury_blade9303 yeah you fight the jenova dreamweaver close to the end of the game
I’m so happy this got a remix. I voted for this as my number 1 and It’s such a bop. Can’t wait to listen to your rendition of this classic boss theme.
1:14 I love how Gametal transitioned from the normal song of J.E.N.O.V.A to the Advent Children's version of J.E.N.O.V.A. 👍
The version in 2021's Playstation Tribute Medley already slaps but I'm super happy this got a full remix because this one goes H A R D. It's a popular FF track and you've made it sound unique, great job!
OMG IRIS IS NEXT, which means another full version of a Pokemon champion theme, finally!!!
One-Winged Angel is good and all, but it's simply not J-E-N-O-V-A.
Very awesome remix! Killed it like always
Thank you Elite!
M-A-R-I-O
Such an incredible song, I've grown to love it even more than One Winged Angel over the years. The cover does it justice and then some!
The First Crisis…The Calamity from the Skies… The Parasite of the Stars… The Ultimate Enemy.
Nowadays, I always think about JENOVA on Mother's Day, which was two and a half weeks ago, mind you. This was also the first-ever Final Fantasy 7 song (and Final Fantasy music in general) that I've ever heard. Really great remix you've made, and a great way to end May madness as well.

That's the elevator sequence with the Iron Giants and stuff right?
This is probably my favorite song from Final Fantasy VII, this brings back so many memories! Thanks for remixing this song!
Wait a small channel I'm subbed to JUST SHOWING UP IN GAMETAL COMMENTS!! it's all connected ha ha ha
Woah, seriously?
@@sirmetaknight1 YUP!
Neat! I am a big fan of Jonny Atma's work!
@@sirmetaknight1 I started watching him about a year ago... and haven't stopped since!
Holy hell Jonny drops JENOVA! This is gonna be damn great!
Me when the koopa starts fighting mario in a giant mechsuit of himself:
(if ykyk)
The fight against JENOVA Birth in FF7 on PS1 will always be magical to me.
Convinced that Johnny somehow has access to my most listened to vgm tracks and has just been covering them for like the past few months
For some reason, I thought the medley with JENOVA was more recent than it is! It's always been top tier, though, so I'm glad to see it given the full treatment.
That said... I also thought it was gonna be the last May Madness song this year, and I'd have to send my usual vote yet again next year... but look who's on the horizon :>
I can't wait for the next remix. Iris' theme from BW2 always gets me pumped up!
ME TOO!! I specifically asked for Iris’s theme in the song poll he posted a month or two ago. IM LEGIT SO HYPED
I wish it would be a remix of the Masters EX remix...
J-E-N-O-V-A is *always* a banger.
Head bopping and feet drumming, one can't help but feel possessed by these jams! Awesome!
Heavy !
Now, onto Jenova Absolute !
Heck yeah
How is nobody talking about how fucking dope the Atma Weapon guitar is?
I confidently gave a thumbs up 14 seconds after release of this and am not disappointed.
I unironically use the original version of this song as the ringtone for my mom! XD
Might be able to replace that one soon...
So far I've only watched my brother play FFVII, and saw a video of someone playing the remake... But I'm genuinely in love with it, and its soundtrack!
Great Remix as always! This Soundtrack is really made for Metal, and no one could show it better!
"Mother... Let's go to the promised Land!"
That is amazing lol
22 seconds in and ive already liked the video
Hell yeah, this was my most wanted May Madness song and it's awesome to finally see it done! Sucks I couldn't get the gameplay footage tho, schoolwork and demotivation are an awful combo. That solo gives me life tho holy shit it's so good. Phenomenal job as always, Jonny!
0:01 in and I can confirm it's a banger
expects this to progress into the OMEN theme
Don’t think I’ve been this fast to a GaMetal remix in a long time. I’m not even mad though, this some good shit!
Such a chilling and memorable theme. FFVII genuinely has some of the greatest music in video game history
Ramping up the metal content of the song without sacrificing the underlying alien feel of it. Well done.
I seriously need to get back to playing (and this time finish) Final Fantasy VII, it’s been on my to-do list for too long!
HE DID IT! Now I can just loop this instead of playing this snippet from the psx tribute five times every one time I listen to the others.
I still want a prequel based on Jenova's arrival and actions in the ff7 history
In the words of Sephiroth: We finally meet, Mother.
I waited years for someone to finally cover this how I wanted it heard in my head. Thank you so much for once again being that artist. Also, may I use this as background music for my shorts? You can say no. Love the music regardless.
Thank you Ken, glad I could be the one! 😃
(And of course, go for it!)

FINALLY A J-E-N-O-V-A REMIX HOLY SHIT
Spectacular dude, simply spectacular.
Another May Madness, once again there's no way to finish all the songs before May ends, it happens.
Y'all did the theme justice, this is amazing 🤟
One of the best songs in FF7! Glad to see it get the GaMetal Treatment!
Just spectacular, this is my favorite cover of this song I have heard yet! Keep it up, love your work!
IRIS LETS GOOOOOOOOO! Also amazing remix. Will put this on my tournament playlist when I am playing in a bracket in a Smash tourney.
How about Unexpectancy from Pizza Tower?
Incredible work man. I agree with a lotta the comments, the rate of both quantity and quality you’ve put out recently is kinda unfathomable. Rock on bröther 🤘🏻

YES, YES, YES!!!!!! Thanks Jonny. You did one of the songs I asked for 5 years ago. Thank you. Just missing Shudder from Einhänder. I'll never give up on this song.
Just what I needed. Was having a bad start to my day. This shred the gloom away nicely.
OMG first??? I love love this thank u gametal!!
Oh hey! I was just thinking of this song and then down pops a cover!
Good job as always, your renditions are always so good and satisfying to listen to. The way you mix them and the variations added to give every part a unique feel rather than just looping is something I really appreciate.
This is excellent, great punchy work
That shirt is hilarious and awesome
Can't wait to face her in FFVII Rebirth.
Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa
This rivals The Black Mages' own version, and I dare say I prefer this one. Thank you for taking the time to make this masterpiece.
Side note, I love the shirt. XD
Link is in the description, if you're interested! 🤠
Awesome cover.

oh hell yeah love this one and it usually gets overshadowed by other songs
one of the best boss themes remixed to perfection!
So glad you made this cover! Hands down my favorite song from FF7. Keep up the great work!
For me, it was this or “One-Winged Angel.”
@civilwildman One Winged Angel is great don't get me wrong, but I have J-E-N-O-V-A as #1, Birth of a god as #2 and One Winged Angel #3. Now the separation between these are very small and it is amazing that these are basically the 3 major songs of the game is crazy the epicness and quality that they all have
Happy (belated) mother's day!
It's a nice "space alien monster fight" piece.
The true banger to FFVII. I love that after all of these years, you remain faithful to video game metal. Nobuo Uematsu, Black Mages, and the Earthbound Papas would be very proud of this arrangement.

One of my favorite themes from the FF series!
A long wait, well worth it.
Always loved this song, what a sick cover of it!
Wow, Johnny covering my favorite FF7 song? Must be my half birthday with how much my world is rocked by an incoming meteor!
Catching up on your stuff. This is another banger. Great work man
IT'S TIME TO BATTLE FOR THE PLANET. Kickass.
Never listened to the actual track but this variant of a remix is something to behold
Day 292 and Kartikeya's glad a new song didn't drop for once. All these new pieces have left me very much exhausted keeping up. Also I miss O'Sharon.

OH BABY! Jenovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The original version of this song used to be my ringtone. It's so amazing to see it covered like this.
I saw Iris’ silhouette at the end and SCREAMED
Can’t wait till that releases!
Same here
Another amazing cover I have never heard of this song before but if Jonny covers it it's got to be good. Request Dark Crafter
Congratulations well done
YES! BADASS! THANK YOU! 🤘
Aw shit a certified Gametal banger
This is the perfect song for a remix, such a great arrangement
I got to know this song from a koopa revenge and now that I've heard your version I'm glad to remember those beautiful moments playing this game I love you so much
YOOOO GAMETALLLLL LETS FUCKINGGGG GOOOOOO
The best JENOVA cover I’ve heard so far!! Excellent remix as always Jonny!🔥
