If you would have told 14 year old me back in 1992 when I was playing the original Mortal Kombat that one day in the distant future I would be sitting at my computer at the age of 42 listening to the theme song played by who would become one of my favorite guitarists of all time.. I wouldn't have believed it... yet here we are! What a time to be alive!
I've listened to several metal covers and... This one wins. This gets the basics of what makes Techno Syndrome good right. The speed, the instruments all working together, with none really overruling one and it just going FUCKING hard.
Not gonna lie. . .came here expecting to think "you heathen bastard, you can't make that theme metal". Well played (and mixed, for that matter). That did the original quite a service in the cover department. Just enough like it to be recognizable but different enough to not be the usual copy/pasta cover so many people do. Very well done.
I must say Andy has moved in to be one of the greatest guitarists of our generation, and possibly of all time status. It's the evolution of Satch, Vai, Dime, etc. and it is incredible!!! I can honestly credit him as helping me break through the wall that all guitar players face. Such an inspiration!!!
Most of the other versions of Techno Syndrome have this vocal vibes that give it real energy. But on this one, the INSANE keyboard and the guitar creation, are the flawless victory. I normally end up listening this one every so often, like, this is the soundtrack for a life. M E T A L L I T Y Flawless Melody
Damn that solo is one of the best solos I’ve ever heard. Contextually, it’s just perfect. That slide at 2:54 reminds of of scorpion throwing out his hook, and when Andy slide it back it’s like scorpion reeling in his prey, then that high bend is akin to his victim screaming in pain. Damn Andy, that gives me chills every-time I hear that and run that scenario through my mind. And that little pick scratch? Bloody top notch man.
Holy hell the video and audio production on this is incredible 🔥 crazy to see Andy improve from an incredible guitarist into an overall incredible creator
0:39 - This blend between guitar and synth, and the the "hard groove" this is the style of metal that I love. Orgy's album "Candyass" used it well. Also there's a prog-metal tune called "Clonus" by Planet-X, that does it. Oh yeah, and "B-Boy 2000" by Crazy Town. I wish that more bands would bring back the "best bits" of nu-metal, use some analogue electronic synth sounds with distorted guitars tuned around B and just make some good music. On a side note, I was always more of Street Fighter 2 person however "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" was awesome.
So badass! I wish they would put your music in games like this to make people more energetic while playing the game. Freaking cool. It takes me back to a kid when I played Mortal Kombat constantly with my friend, nostalgia!
Please for the love of everything that is holy do a killer instinct version please please please!!! Sick playing man love all of your stuff have all of your albums!
Procuro brasileiros aqui mas nunca encontro, talvez eu seja o único fã do Andy James...o cara arrebenta demais, técnica, feeling e melodia...top demais

1:50 Flawless Victory! Absolute Beast Mode by AJ.
Andy james unites all metalheads. Period.
Andy can play 25 hours a day and I can listen him without taking a break.
I already do
yo tambien lo hago
and there wouldnt be a bad/stinker song in one of those songs in all that time. he is flawless!
Absolute King 👑
You are absolutely right. So clean.
Yes sir, fuck...master :)
This sound is animal!

These are one of those feelings which we can't explained in words...but only through music.

Jesus, if that doesn't get the blood pumping, then you're already dead. Well done, AJ!
2:06 pure power

Words cannot describe how this makes me feel. Mortal Kombat was a huge part of my childhood too, and hearing this just puts me on a different level.
This cover deserve play in the New Live Action
That movie doesn’t deserve this cover
@@kungfuman82 maybe the part 2 from new live action if arrive to be awesome
0:53 I love this part or the song when the names of the characters roll in 😮
This is so bad ass. He took a song that was already so iconic and just KILLED it! I've been listening to this on repeat.
The way he played this at 0:13 gave me chills up and down my spine in a way i never felt before. This IS WHAT GLORY FEELS LIKE!
BRUTALITY
FLAWLESS VICTORY
I love how you featured the original mortal combat in the background along with your incredible cover!
Dude, this is awesome! The Mortal Kombat hype is huge right now!
Tapping part is similar to war march , i love it
Dude that was SO EPIC! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸
Amazing brother!!! 🤘🎸⚡️🔥🔥🔥
So we just gona ignore the plectrum tap at 2:58. Mans beast
one of the coolest things i've ever seen/heard. absolutely amazing.
Flawless victory indeed. Never ceases to amaze me. Jaw hit the floor with those that solo and those slides. You're an inspiration to say the least.
the cleanliness and precision of your sound is disarming.

This is the best mortal kombat guitar/metal cover ever!
That was SICK - awesome cover!
This makes me want to go around yelling “Finish Him!” and “Get Over Here!” 😂
This gave me chills. Very well done!
so sick bro
You are an inspiration for me, Andy! You nailed it.
I learned so much from Andy and his learn metal rhythm in 6 weeks lesson plans ,definitly the best guitar teacher on youtube period
Great timing with the new movie release tomorrow. I can’t wait for this and actually looks like a decent movie. Superb arrangement. Well done 👏🏻
Got goosebumps at that first main tapping section. I didn't expect something like that. Great cover Andy
Best cover so far! 🤟🏻😎
I've been listening to Andy for years and years, I know the drill by now: first like the video, then enjoy the great music!
Как же это круто, всем здоровья и удачи МЕТАЛЛИСТЫ.
So badass! I wish they would put your music in games like this to make people more energetic while playing the game. Freaking cool. It takes me back to a kid when I played Mortal Kombat constantly with my friend, nostalgia!
Thank you for awakening my nostalgia in the most Metal way. Cheers \m/
Congratulations Andy, You put the work in. Now it's time to live the Dream! Rock On ! Vegas Baby !
This is a best version i ever heard
Andy ...amazing !
Right hand alternate picking technique was astounding.
I love that you did the song justice and gave it time to breathe as itself, then added some Andy James in to top it off. Well done man!
Flawless Victory
This track is sick. Nice work my guy.
Now that Alexi Laiho is gone Andy James is the man I listen to when it comes to djents and shreds.
My man i give you props for the guitar matching scorpion in the screen and the speakers.
Please for the love of everything that is holy do a killer instinct version please please please!!! Sick playing man love all of your stuff have all of your albums!

He sure as hell did! I can die in peace now lol!
Yeah this is fucking sick
This makes me want to run out into the street and yell "Mortal Kombaaatt" at the top of my voice. I'm sure the neighbours would appreciate that. 😅
Makes me Want to punch my neighbors garage door.
@@wildmike85 they would definitely be mad at you for doing thatXD
@@wildmike85 Makes me want to punch my neighbor.
Who knows, maybe they like it too and start yelling along
I don’t know what’s better, That majestic beast your holding, that killer studio or this Cover.
That was heavy and brutal!🤘🏻🔥
Holy shit! So much precision and accuracy! Mind blowing 🤘🤘
So brutal at the end! Love it
Best cover/remix of mk theme I've ever heard brilliant!
They should grant you an Andy James MK Character for this. This is so cool.
Insane, Andy and Kiesel! The best in the business!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Props for having a Scorpion guitar.
*AWESOME COVER!!* Probably the best I've ever heard!
This should have been the Soundtrack for the new movie
Simply Incredible!

Sick riff at 2:33 loved it
Dude, this is the best metal cover of mortal kombat theme i ever hear!!!!! I love it!!
The movie inbound, now this! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Andy "Midas" James - cos whatever he touches, turns to gold!
This is literally better than any of the music that actually made into the most recent 2021 film.
It is
Dam @andyjames you are murdering out here. God bless the skills
Oh my, this is amazing
The future isn't all bad. You have proved that today.
Ed Boon needs to see this and add Andy James as a playable character with a Face Melting solo as a Fatality, just sayin'!
Ikr! 🤣👍👊
Dude!
