Tony James Gilpin Actually I think its more like Killer Instinct fortuitously meets its good friend Metal in a random coffee shop...and promptly blows everything up with awesomeness.
How can this EPIC track have FAR less views than so many of your other videos? D: It's by far one of the best! :( Saddens me that the brand KI is so unknown, so people miss out on this epic cover!
i went to pc's...consoles just started getting too expensive last console i owned was a ps2 so i'll miss it too but the classic on snes is still...umm...killer :D
Yeah, it is odd. This is probably my favorite video from Erock, and I think it deserves 1000X the views it currently has. Shame we'll never get a new KI. Especially since Rare went bankrupt and took all their IPs with them to the grave, after they did Star Fox Adventures.
Ikr KI was like one of the best games ever, i wish it had went on, although the new reboot on the xbox looks good, i mean ill never get it unless i get and xbox but im gunnin for a ps4
i got to play KI gold in an arcade once a long time ago and got my @$$ handed to me by an 8 year old in about a minute and haven't played since haha...i wish i could afford to keep up w/ consoles i just can't justify spending $400 on something just to play games when i can build a pc for that much and do a lot more than just games with it...just my 2c plus MK9 just got a pc port so i'm pretty happy with my choice ;)
The KI theme has been stuck in my head for like 17 years. Hearing your rendition of it blows my mind. This is badass. I'd love to hear you and Mick Gordon jam.
THIS RIGHT HERE...THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE... still gives me goosebumps:') ..THEY WERE IN THE STUDIO MURDERING THIS THEME!! Especially the beginning guitar
Everyone requesting different songs but this song BLEW! MY! MIND! This is SICK!! This song has been a favorite since I was a little kid and for you to demolish it like this, in a great way, makes me extremely happy. I will be jamming this for a LONG time!
I'm jealous of you people who can play leads and sweep arpeggios. Been playing on and off for 12 years, can play some pretty technical death metal stuff, but can't play a solo to save my life. Anyway, great cover.
I know that I'm late to this video. Very late in fact, but if you still look at the comments on this, would you do a cover of glacius' (from ki gold) and/or saberwulf's theme from this game?
I just found you through Caramelldansen (my Swedish friends were mocking me for learning their language with it xD). You just transformed my FAVOURITE N64 game theme into THIS MASTERPIECE. That beat sounds so good for a metal cover. Oh my sweet lord. I thank you so much! SUBBED. I WISH I COULD SUB MORE.
By the way man. I am friends with Nathan, one of ur friends. Nathan the tattoo artist who did some of ur tattoos.I go to school with him. Just wanted to say ive been admiring ur work over years man. I even learned a lot from copying some of ur techniques. And been waiting for the day that u will be as big as all those great figures bevause I think u truly deserve it! So good luck man. Cheers ^_^
DUDE! Every single one of these is ****ing AMAZING!!! I am trying to listen to all of them, but you have so many and I keep wanting to go back and listen to them all again. Who else wants you to do a StarCraft cover??
rockmad zeed No way. Mick Gordon fucking NAILED the new theme. This is great, but wouldn't fit in the game as is. Still a badass version of the theme though. I could picture this in the credits or something though.
The Jimbo Channel This seems closer to the older theme so I can see why you might like it more, but the new one is something special, one of the best video game theme amelioration's ever
ULTRA! ULTRA!! Love this version! Makes for an awesome track to listen when busting out Martial Art Circuit Training, feels for a moment like a montage from a 80s Martial Arts Action Film haha
So I was going to cover this song and post it to my friends on the KI game board as a tribute to the new and amazing ki3. But before I was gonna do that I decided to check if u covered it first or not!!! So yup!! Haha. Amazing cover man like always!! True guitarest, true artist! Now its time to cancel my project, sit on that chair over their by the corner and weep lol...I should just stick to my artwork >_
Pretty good. I would not necessarily call this metal, but a cover(since the theme is already heavy metal, lol). Overall, I understand your titles follow along with what you do, so I understand.
This is a cool cover. But this song had already meet metal... The point of these covers is to cover songs that aren't metal into metal, but this was already metal to begin with
Have you ever played 'The Astyanax' on NES. I reckon that game has the sickest music. As obscured as it is, I'd love to see that Meet Metal! It's an underrated NES gem.
My gooosh😱😱😱 tha's freaking wow! I have two things to criticize constructively, the first one is the tittle that is also the least important. The original song is already metal, so i consider this as: "Killer Instinct Meets *331Erock* Metal. The second critic is about the drums in this part 2:36 It's sounding screamingly fake because every beat is a repetition of the previous in the same exact strength it was hit, so to sound really realistic, the strength that every beat will hit should be slightly different than each other, just like a real drummer plays. It only didn't kill the whole feeling of the track because all the rest was freaking amazing.
Not only did you do one of the best covers of one of the best songs ever, you even introduced me to Painkiller and thus Judas Priest while you were at it
Holly shit man, I am not really into Metal but God damn i loved this shit. You freaking rocked the shit out of this, I actually like it more than the theme song itself. Mad props to you and i wish i could hear tou play it live.
I can remember the first time I heard this version, and I heard the low B kick in and thought, man, if soilwork did a Killer Instinct theme, it would sound something like this. Well done mate.
after watching this for like the 50th time i managed to think of something crucial thats missing and honestly its surprising cause you are normally extremely good with things like this, but in the beginning you didnt add the guy saying "Killer Instinct" other than that man it is seriously perfect. if at all possible you should edit that in :P
This is Awesome! You gotta do the new Killer instinct theme song! :) I love Killer instinct! You just got yourself a subscriber! Keep up the good work.
Got this by chance when outta my window there is a lightning storm like in the game intro and it feels like a fucking orgasm of blood and fighting into my soul. Made to be heard again and again a lot. Thanks dude for such a drills in my bones like be hitted by Glacious and surviving it is. Great.
lol, Painkiller @2:45. I love those little sections you sneak in. Personally prefer the Kalmah one you put in the Megaman video I think it was. I know the song was They Will Return anyways. It would be really cool to see you do some actual metal song covers as well as this stuff.
cooooommmmmmbo breaker!!! This game was so visionary in the 90s , it had street fighter + mortal kombat+ dbz+ so much more! why only simple games are loved from mass-people? You re great fellow!!
AWESOME Painkiller transition... That was a brilliant way to bring it full circle. Get your ass a band and on tour man! This is right up there with Assassins Creed for me, bad ass!
ok first things first... Killer Instinct was already metal. Doesnt get anymore metal than Killer Instinct. Being said that anything you do is always awesome!!
ULTRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
+Cj Plays Games KOMBOOOO

Killer Instinct meets Metal? I thought that it and metal were already good acquaintances!
Tony James Gilpin Actually I think its more like Killer Instinct fortuitously meets its good friend Metal in a random coffee shop...and promptly blows everything up with awesomeness.
Anraziel
Ah, yes! That makes more sense!
+Tony James Gilpin he should just label everything as "meets nu metal" and avoid confusion lol
+Tony James Gilpin That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the title of the video

Kewl Beans
Is the PC version of MK any good?
I got Injustice, but the game runs like a dead snail, unless you have a TOP line PC.
UUUUULTRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA COOOOOOOOMBOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
SURRRRRPREME VICTORY!
PERFECT.
Ummmiiilliation
The KI theme has been stuck in my head for like 17 years. Hearing your rendition of it blows my mind. This is badass. I'd love to hear you and Mick Gordon jam.
haha i remember the CD with all the songs from the game you got when you bought the game on Super Nes. Brings back memories
😔🍻
Suddenly, Painkiller from out of fucking nowhere
THIS RIGHT HERE...THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE... still gives me goosebumps:') ..THEY WERE IN THE STUDIO MURDERING THIS THEME!! Especially the beginning guitar
same here !!!💪❤🔥
O.M.F.G. You seriously just made my LIFE with this! PERFECT!
- killer instinct & judas priest's painkiller; the nerd and headbanger in me are happy.
I thought I was the only one who recognised painkiller riff and drum solos
Killer Instinct was already Metal. You make it MORE METAL!
I think the intro to Street Fighter Alpha 2 would sound amazing.
Everyone requesting different songs but this song BLEW! MY! MIND! This is SICK!! This song has been a favorite since I was a little kid and for you to demolish it like this, in a great way, makes me extremely happy. I will be jamming this for a LONG time!
I'm jealous of you people who can play leads and sweep arpeggios. Been playing on and off for 12 years, can play some pretty technical death metal stuff, but can't play a solo to save my life.
Anyway, great cover.
Btw, nice piece of painkiller you added in there.
Bones98 practice practice practice
Ok it's official. I'm having this played at my funeral. Spectacular piece of work!
the simple fact thats he has the biggest fucking grin on his face makes this great.
Donkey Kong meets metal!!
I know that I'm late to this video. Very late in fact, but if you still look at the comments on this, would you do a cover of glacius' (from ki gold) and/or saberwulf's theme from this game?

That beat sounds so good for a metal cover. Oh my sweet lord. I thank you so much! SUBBED. I WISH I COULD SUB MORE.
killer instinct + painkiller = ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAA METAL COMBO
kira waleed lol
"KILLER COMBO!!!!"
I thought i was the only one who recognised the painkiller drum solo and riff. Instant tears
HUMILIATION!!!
BEST 16 BIT FIGHTING GAME EVER!!
One of my favorites game themes of all time. Awesome victory!
By the way man. I am friends with Nathan, one of ur friends. Nathan the tattoo artist who did some of ur tattoos.I go to school with him. Just wanted to say ive been admiring ur work over years man.

DUDE! Every single one of these is ****ing AMAZING!!! I am trying to listen to all of them, but you have so many and I keep wanting to go back and listen to them all again. Who else wants you to do a StarCraft cover??
This 4:48 video has more Killer Instinct heart than even the most recent Killer Instinct game.
Lol no
I think it's time to stop posting.
I think his hands & figners is on fire here, goddamn! Just watch those fingers go \m/
You should remake this with a crossover of the Mortal Kombat theme. Killer Instinct VS Mortal Kombat. Come on^^
The smile you have when you play, I work for this man ! You're a very good guitarist, still playing man !
omg I can't even begin to describe how epic this is. This should of been the theme for the last one that came out.
Nostalgia!... of late nights and early mornings playing this game :)
HOLY SHIT!!!!! DUDE WOW I FUCKING LOVE IT (^_^) BEST KILLER INSTINCT COVER IVE HEARD EVER
Supreme victory!
Please tell me you've submitted this on OCRemix. I have to have this song.
awesome
edit : 3 years later and still believe this awesome
This is WAY better than the new KI music on XB1.
well..... no!!! the new ki theme is awesome!!!
rockmad zeed No way. Mick Gordon fucking NAILED the new theme. This is great, but wouldn't fit in the game as is. Still a badass version of the theme though. I could picture this in the credits or something though.
Jagokuken
I completely disagree. This woulda fit it much better. To each their own.
The Jimbo Channel This seems closer to the older theme so I can see why you might like it more, but the new one is something special, one of the best video game theme amelioration's ever
I think I like both themes equally
They should have hired you to do the theme for the XBox One reboot.
**Puts hand on mouse**
**Moves it to the dislike button**
**Gets countered by sick riff**
O_O Mother of god....
*_c-c-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!_*
SUPREME VICTORY!!!
Perfect.
ULTRA! ULTRA!! Love this version! Makes for an awesome track to listen when busting out Martial Art Circuit Training, feels for a moment like a montage from a 80s Martial Arts Action Film haha
Primal Rage next, perhaps?
2:35 PAINKILLER! :D
ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
glacius
ULTRAAAAAA!!!!
That would've sounded AWESOME on the soundtrack for the game.
However, for now I'll leave you with an
UULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm listening to this as your video game playlist and couldn't help but smile when I heard the intro as I'm sitting here at work.
Pain-killer instinct!!
Konsta ntinos Lol
Two words, fuck yes, I really appreciate this man...my childhood cane back with a vengeance, any chance you could do spinal or sabrewulf's theme?
***** Dude, your username is badass.
So I was going to cover this song and post it to my friends on the KI game board as a tribute to the new and amazing ki3. But before I was gonna do that I decided to check if u covered it first or not!!! So yup!! Haha. Amazing cover man like always!! True guitarest, true artist! Now its time to cancel my project, sit on that chair over their by the corner and weep lol...I should just stick to my artwork >_
Cant believe this theme has lived this long. It has so many beat in so many ways
That Mashup with Painkiller!
Metroid Meets metal... we need that one
Loved and still love Killer instinct , Love the Theme and man this Version Kicks Ass !!!!
This is probably my favorite Erock video, after several years of watching. Keep it up, big thumbs up to you man!
from yesterday i m just listening to YOU, i feel reborn in METAL WAYS, you rocks man, great great job
Ed Boon dislike this 36 x
Besides envisioning Killer Instinct while listening to this, I see Super Saiyan Bardock whooping ass too. DBZ.
Pretty good. I would not necessarily call this metal, but a cover(since the theme is already heavy metal, lol). Overall, I understand your titles follow along with what you do, so I understand.
I still have this game. I don't hear those bad ass metal leads in the game's music. Hmm. :-p
immasmashyourface Listen to the theme of the new game.
The point is.... This is a cover of the original Killer Instinct.
Well yeah its a cover, but he takes the song to the extreme
especially with the solo
Again and again do I come back to this video, because it is beyond epic. I still believe you had to feel like a god when you were playing this.
This has to be my favourite from all your videos. SUPREME VICTORY!!
Killer Instinct was already metal.
Metal x2
tHIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE THEME FOR THE REMAKE...
Hell Yeah it should of. It's PERFECT
Maybe in the next killer instinct game
This is a cool cover. But this song had already meet metal...
The point of these covers is to cover songs that aren't metal into metal, but this was already metal to begin with
So. it's fan made you fuck.
we need more types of fan made killer instinct main themes
Obi-Wan Kannabis how nice of you to tell someone how to run their own channel
then grab the metal and make it SUPER METAL
Have you ever played 'The Astyanax' on NES. I reckon that game has the sickest music. As obscured as it is, I'd love to see that Meet Metal!
It's an underrated NES gem.

You have no idea how much i love this song wow, your awesome dude!
Why did it take me this long to find your channel..wow , nerdy metal goodness
I like this song from the game, and you have tried a good alternative, but it's not what i expected. Nothing else matters, it's ok, you rock !!! \m/
A new vocal isn't there,long ago only !?
You look so fucking psyched to be playing this. Love it.
This is Awesome! You gotta do the new Killer instinct theme song! :) I love Killer instinct! You just got yourself a subscriber! Keep up the good work.
I'm using this in my video!!!
I just can't stop listening,man.You're unique!
How does this not have more views? I would listen to this over and over! Was lucky enough to have gotten soundtrack w/ game.
Got this by chance when outta my window there is a lightning storm like in the game intro and it feels like a fucking orgasm of blood and fighting into my soul. Made to be heard again and again a lot. Thanks dude for such a drills in my bones like be hitted by Glacious and surviving it is. Great.

That solo gave me fucking goosebumps. Nasty shit brother.
Coming to your home in 1995 only on Nintento ULTRA 64! Bwahaha yea that happened... Great cover man!

This game was so visionary in the 90s , it had street fighter + mortal kombat+ dbz+ so much more!

You re great fellow!!
AWESOME Painkiller transition... That was a brilliant way to bring it full circle. Get your ass a band and on tour man! This is right up there with Assassins Creed for me, bad ass!

It's on the video description, friend!
You probably get this all the time but I was wondering if I would be allowed to use this cover on my channel?
Oh hell yes! I love the KI cover as is but that painkiller solo was awesome! Didn't expect that at all!
Gosh you nailed it! Love the joy you play with too, hell yea!
ok first things first... Killer Instinct was already metal. Doesnt get anymore metal than Killer Instinct. Being said that anything you do is always awesome!!
