I will keep coming back to this every so often. I was surprised about this cover though. Went to heavy rock vibes towards the climax but lovingly went back to the subdued mood at the end. Absolutely love this take!
What a fantastic rendition. If you're American, then this has beautifully come full circle. To know that this is a cover of a Japanese interpretation of an Italian/Spaghetti Western interpretation of the American Wild West just goes to show that music is the unifier of all cultures, no matter where we're from.
This video is about 5 millions views short. I've seen many covers of this song and some suck, some capture the essence but this is the first to take the original and make it into something more. Great work and how it's flying under the youtube radar is beyond me.
+BoondockRoberts This comment is a tad late, but I suppose that the game was not really all that popular, at least in the U.S. I, personally, like the game, but I'm surprised it even has as many views as it does. I do agree that this is an absolutely amazing cover. It emulates the whistle sound much better than normal technique or most other instruments could.
+megaman02468 I may be wrong about its popularity. I don't know anybody else in my area that's ever heard of the game though, and several of my friends find some awfully obscure games.
Unfortunately MANY Japanese RPGs are cast aside in the US even in today’s world Wild Arms Lunar Legends of Lagia Threads of Fate Alundra are just to name a few
I have been on a nostalgia trip over the past few days and have been listening to this song (the original version on a different channel) over and over while whistling along at work. I stumbled upon this rendition, and I have to say, the electric guitar portion 2/3 of the way in, where it takes prominence, is fantastic and really adds a lot of power to the song. I have been putting this version on more and more, whistling along where appropriate, then letting the electric guitar take over for that bit and just head banging along 😊. Awesome work dude, covering a song well from a cherished video game from my childhood. Salute 🫡.
I'm more than 7 years late on this, but this music is what made me an hard core Wild Arms fan on first sight more than 20 years ago ! Your cover is great !! Good job !
To this day this is still one of the best video intros to a video game. It sets the tone perfectly and fills you with this wistful wonder at what the game has in store for you.
I know i commented a while ago on this video but i cannot get enough of this song . the wild hearts theme stuck deep in my heart the very first time i turned the game on back in 1996 i was 13 and since then being 34 now i have played through the game over 100 times and the song never gets old and never will its engraved into my soul for the rest of my life . thank you for amping up an already beautiful song .

Sorely under-rated game, and probably one of the best I ever played for the PSX. The music, the story, the gameplay, the characters...it was all incredible, and your rendition left me with chills, my friend! Top notch! Ever thought about possibly covering Boomerang Flash's theme, or maybe Zed's?
Thank you! Under-rated game indeed. Hopefully the series will get the attention it deserves at some point. Boomerang Flash and Zed's Theme are one of the great tracks from Wild Arms I would like to cover in the future!
well most of his good points came from his characters because each stories parts are based on them! cecilia made the "begining", jack is next and rudy made the ending, only 3 characters made that none was "useless" and it's one of the biggest strength of the first "wild arms"!
This got my sub. I saw your Gangplank Galleon video a few times over the years. Finally decided to visit your channel. And found this absolute masterpiece waiting for me as your cover video. Wild Arms was one of the games that changed how I look at games. Thank's for sharing your work and please never change your pants and let those toes fly free you winner.
I'm kind of sad that I just found this, but this is GORGEOUS. I've always loved the theme, and didn't expect this cover to be such an improvement on the original!
Not just the most underrated thing on UA-cam, but this video is the most underrated thing I've ever seen and heard period. It should be in the millions of views - it's truly outstanding.
Man, ive got to say. Im working on a video an I want a sort of Wild Arms themed soundtrack for it. And I decided that i wanted to listen to the old soundtrack, even though i can still hear it in my head all these years later. You, Sir, have captured the essence of the opening more accurately than anyone since the creator. Very well done!
I've never played Wild Arms but man...this sounds incredible. I listen to a ton of covers for all sorts of games but this one...this one stirred up so much emotion. You certainly have a distinct style that brings the best out of the songs you cover. Awesome job!
This is one of the best openings/themes in the world of gaming and music. And your cover was just superb. TY for your time, effort, and such great skills. Wish you the best!
first video i've ever liked in this whole you tube thing. this tune has kept me sane all this time and as long as i shall live. your take on this one adds more flame to this already timeless and epic tune. keep it up!
The way you played it makes me wanna cry, it's so touching, wild arms is a part of my childhood, thank you so much for the amazing and touching cover of it ="_
Perfect. Love the variation between heavy and acoustic. Also love the way in which you transposed some of the keyboard melodies and the whistling with the electric and the slide. Fantastic job, man.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone wank their guitar quite like this. It has jerked a tear from my eye. Seriously, Wild ARMs is one of my favorite games and the opening always gave me the feels, but this has stroked feelings deep inside me.
Meu primeiro game do Play e com certeza a melhor época da minha vida...... ótimo trabalho esta de parabéns ao fazer meu olhos encherem de lagrima sentido uma nostalgia.
You are the Home Improvement's Wilson of rad game covers haha!! Always have the face hidden somehow. Seriously though, i felt this more than i heard it, good shit man!!
Judging from the thumbnail I expected this to be rocked/metaled up somehow, but this was a brilliant, artful cover. You definitely did the original justice. Great work! Also, props for the Grandia cover. You're strummin' mah heart strings lol...
Oh, I love hearing this song, it's so AWESOME, so EPIC, so BEAUTIFUL. I love the image of the lonesome cowboy with his guitar and it brings back my memories of this game from 10+ years ago and seeing the intro video for the first time. It hit me on such a deep level that I will never forget that game.
Oh wow, this cover is great! I think this is one of your best videos yet. The transitions to the electric guitar and then back to classical were smooth and just excellent. I love the songs you choose to cover, and I must say you're lookin pretty good in the cowboy hat :P
oh my god,all these years and I still get the shivers when I listen to this...
Yea, same here. 😊
Same
I wish I still owned my original copy I got from Babbage’s
One of the best PS games opening, along with Soul Blade...
I will keep coming back to this every so often. I was surprised about this cover though. Went to heavy rock vibes towards the climax but lovingly went back to the subdued mood at the end. Absolutely love this take!

My first console ever was the PlayStation one classic and this game was on here and it was fine. The intro hit me so hard.
I still live in the past, rewatch this bring joy so much.
Some of us are lucky enough to have played this game... it helped me through some shit and this is BRILLIANT!
This video is about 5 millions views short. I've seen many covers of this song and some suck, some capture the essence but this is the first to take the original and make it into something more. Great work and how it's flying under the youtube radar is beyond me.
Thanks a lot! Those are some really kind words. Really appreciate that!

While I'm missing the whistling, I'm still borderline crying, brother...the performance was so beautiful! 🥹🥹🥹
*Adds to playlist*
This is the most well played version of this song I've ever heard. Love it!
To this day this is still one of the best video intros to a video game. It sets the tone perfectly and fills you with this wistful wonder at what the game has in store for you.
Hello my childhood. Man this cover goes hard, and I love every second of it. Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lane!
I know i commented a while ago on this video but i cannot get enough of this song . the wild hearts theme stuck deep in my heart the very first time i turned the game on back in 1996 i was 13 and since then being 34 now i have played through the game over 100 times and the song never gets old and never will its engraved into my soul for the rest of my life . thank you for amping up an already beautiful song .

This in one of the greatest games from my youth and this music takes me back. Great job.
Every time I'm upset I watch this video. It ready makes me feel a lot better. Thank you.
Replacing the whistling with an electric guitar wail was genius. Bravo. ^^
No. Not at all. The whistling is a huge reason this intro is so epic and still is one of the best ones ever.
Still sounds good though :)
There's never really a bad time for slide guitar.
Sorely under-rated game, and probably one of the best I ever played for the PSX. The music, the story, the gameplay, the characters...it was all incredible, and your rendition left me with chills, my friend! Top notch!
Ever thought about possibly covering Boomerang Flash's theme, or maybe Zed's?
Thank you! Under-rated game indeed. Hopefully the series will get the attention it deserves at some point.

The best cover of one of the best RPG Intros ever!!
HOLY MOTHER OF god!!!!!!!!
THIS LITERALLY GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. You sir have made a legend of yourself from this this onwards.
Criminally underviewed for a fantastic take on a fantastic theme from a fantastic game.
The overdriven lead guitars have a serious Big Country sustainy E-Bow styled tone to them. This is fantastic.
So much feels! Takes me back to being a teenager and burning countless hours on it with my best friend. Amazing work my man!
There is true magic resonating from the instruments in your hands, good sir. I thoroughly enjoyed the last two minutes. =D
Thank you! I enjoyed reading your nice comment. :) I'm glad you liked the video!

man what a great game and by far one of the best opening themes of any game.
I'm kind of sad that I just found this, but this is GORGEOUS. I've always loved the theme, and didn't expect this cover to be such an improvement on the original!
Not just the most underrated thing on UA-cam, but this video is the most underrated thing I've ever seen and heard period. It should be in the millions of views - it's truly outstanding.
I ever finish this game, and i forgot the feel on its game already. But now you bring it back again, Really thanks to you SIR !
Best opening and track to any game IMO. Beautiful cover.
Man, ive got to say. Im working on a video an I want a sort of Wild Arms themed soundtrack for it. And I decided that i wanted to listen to the old soundtrack, even though i can still hear it in my head all these years later.
You, Sir, have captured the essence of the opening more accurately than anyone since the creator. Very well done!
This has always been one of my favorite songs from a game. This is so damn good, great work!
Holy hell that is AWESOME! I can't even properly express how good this is. Great job!!
Excellent work, just excellent. As a huge Wild Arms fan who owns all the games and OSTs, I can appreciate fine work like this. :)
My first ever RPG and my all time favorite series. This is a great cover.
The amount of awesome this is.. I can't even..
Aw maaaaaaaan. The guitar work was all gorgeous. I love this song!
I've never played Wild Arms but man...this sounds incredible. I listen to a ton of covers for all sorts of games but this one...this one stirred up so much emotion. You certainly have a distinct style that brings the best out of the songs you cover. Awesome job!
Aaron Temple should definitely pick it up and play it... Amazing game for sure
Undoubtedly, you nees to play it!
@@moose1124which version ps2 or PS1?
I can't believe I missed out on this awesome cover for 9 years. Awesome.
This is one of the best openings/themes in the world of gaming and music.
And your cover was just superb. TY for your time, effort, and such great skills.
Wish you the best!
first video i've ever liked in this whole you tube thing. this tune has kept me sane all this time and as long as i shall live. your take on this one adds more flame to this already timeless and epic tune. keep it up!
Very nice! I enjoyed the beginning a lot, but, when you started rocking out, it blew my mind. I love your take on the old classic! Truly amazing!
Covering the whistling like this is genius. Love this
awesome video and yet it still brings me happy feelings of the past from watching this opening does alot
I really love this, the original is lovely too🥰 Lots of great memories
Thank you! Thank you so much for such a beautiful rendition of this song. It was like watching a piece of my childhood come to life. Amazing work!
I just have to say, you are an amazing guitarist. I could listen to you play these video game theme covers endlessly. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful work, not my favorite game but the music is gold and I really like your spin on it.
woooow you made me cry.... 18 years that long.
The way you played it makes me wanna cry, it's so touching, wild arms is a part of my childhood, thank you so much for the amazing and touching cover of it ="_
You just hit me in the bottom of my heart ever so gently, with this beautiful cover.
Perfect. Love the variation between heavy and acoustic. Also love the way in which you transposed some of the keyboard melodies and the whistling with the electric and the slide. Fantastic job, man.
My goodness it's been such a long time since I heard this. Well done! Many memories of gaming after school!
Amazing! There's not alot of people who have played this game. It's quite amazing and i love the intro and you've made it even better! Good job!
this put a smile on my face as i got really nostalgic. thank you for this beauty!
I don't think I've ever heard anyone wank their guitar quite like this. It has jerked a tear from my eye.
Seriously, Wild ARMs is one of my favorite games and the opening always gave me the feels, but this has stroked feelings deep inside me.
an AWESOME cover to one of the most underrated RPG of all time :) damn that was freaking well done :D your acoustic sound is mind blowing man
Never has a like been more thoroughly deserved. True to the original yet creatively different enough to be a brilliant version on its own. Bravo sir!
This is incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this piece of art!
Damn dude! Best Wild Arms cover I've heard/seen! Especially loved the slide guitar!
Absolutely fantastic take on this theme.
This is the video where I originally found the channel. Good stuff.
the same :)
Thanks you for this. You did an excellent job. I still get chills to this day when hearing this. I play guitar so a Tab would help me a lot!
So glad I stumbled upon this, amazing job sir!
Nothing like rolling up to a new town, finding a new weapons vendor that has new stuff for the whole gang! Cecilia cast Spirit bomb on all!
Meu primeiro game do Play e com certeza a melhor época da minha vida...... ótimo trabalho esta de parabéns ao fazer meu olhos encherem de lagrima sentido uma nostalgia.
this is fantastic.
brightens my day up so much to see that someone has made this video
I like it, you didn't change it all that much, can't help myself though. whistling along
Nice one.. My fave game of my childhood
You are the Home Improvement's Wilson of rad game covers haha!! Always have the face hidden somehow. Seriously though, i felt this more than i heard it, good shit man!!
Seriously great job I fealt chills run up my spin! Greatest song on PlayStation
Judging from the thumbnail I expected this to be rocked/metaled up somehow, but this was a brilliant, artful cover. You definitely did the original justice. Great work! Also, props for the Grandia cover. You're strummin' mah heart strings lol...
This is beautiful can't stop looping, very well done.
That was fucking amazing. Such fond memories of sitting in front of my TV for hours playing Wild Arms. Cheers!
Been a while since I smashed the Like with such vigor. Well done!
Dude, thats a perfect work, you have my respect, my Like and my Respect
Brilliant choices, musically and visually
I love this song and you did a great job covering it.
nailed it. love the slides on the whistle part
Oh, I love hearing this song, it's so AWESOME, so EPIC, so BEAUTIFUL. I love the image of the lonesome cowboy with his guitar and it brings back my memories of this game from 10+ years ago and seeing the intro video for the first time.
It hit me on such a deep level that I will never forget that game.
Cooooooooooool... I missed wild arms OST. Thanks!
This never gets old. I love it. :)
I'm truly mesmerized. One of the greatest playstation intros, made even better. Your a legend mate.
....and you just gained a subscriber and a like. Absolutely flawless.
Man, the use of the slide was really smart. WELL DONE!
Holy shit, great cover. the electric guitar replacing the whistles gave me goosebumps.
An excellent cover. The distorted slide guitar adds another dimension. I can't fault it to be honest.
OMG how this doesnt have a millions views...idk! wow so good
Simply awesome. Thank you
