I think what made Lavender Town so scary was how different it was. Most of the spooky scary stuff you get exposed to, especially as a kid, is more on the lines of the fun, goofy, Happy Halloween type stuff. Lavender Town had mourners. The details of the deaths were mostly unimportant, the dead in Pokemon were missed dearly. You can really feel that pain in the theme.
I really didn't understood why people found that track "scary" when the town theme was supposed to be sad and mourning. Myself, even 5 years old me, was never scarred by Lavender Town but instead I was sad and melancolic.
It became infamous due to misinformation about Japanese suicide and "bineural beats" that would give the listener depression. So the creepy aspect was that you were listening to a track that potentially killed someone. All of this is debunked and a lie of course.
@@I_Punch_Demons OK... but why did they choose this track? What about Lavender Town, amidst thousands of other 'spooky' video games, that got that treatment? I would point to an earlier version of the same Urban Legend: "Gloomy Sunday" was written in 1932 and was blamed enough to get the monicker "The Hungarian Suicide Song". Same story, different era. Gloomy Sunday is about someone grieving their lost love and hinting that they'll kill themselves to be reunited. It's not that far a stretch: what differentiates a ghost story from a horror story is the underlying emotion it's based on. Horror stories are based on fear. Ghost stories are based on sadness.

This. The baseline he has going in the middle of the song has that "approaching horde of zombies"/"running for your life" feel to it. I'd even liken it to the Jaws theme a tiny bit. Like, the inevitable march of a hunger that is mindless, merciless, and above all, relentless... Creepy, but the kind of creepy that you'd pay for theater popcorn for.
@@yinyang452 I agree, but Thanksgiving has only ever had the one day, and at this point half the people just treat it as a prep phase for mall violence.
surprised to see no comments for 7 months. and now here I am ruining that for no reason other than to bring attention to one the of the pure things that was left in this World.
Holy crap I love the feel this gives off so freaking much It was already absolutely amazing in the first 2 and a half minutes, but when the drop at 2:27 hits... *_DAAAAMMMMNNNNNN._* I do not understand why this cover doesn't have more support, it's so freaking phenomenal and deserves way more attention than it's gotten.
This sounds amazing, not gonna lie, i can see many incredible ways this cover could be used, a burning forest, y'know? Congrats man, you did it again, made me like your cover more then the original;
It was some time I listened to one of your covers. I used o listen to them all the time when my first daughter was born. And man, you really got a very distinct style - by the first tunes I already remembered what made your covers so special.
This is gonna sound hella dorky, but you gave this theme the respect it truly deserves. Even right down to the smaller details of the video and the music itself. 10/10!
Made me check my calendar for October haha Great stuff as always, my dude! I hate to be the ones to impose, but it'd make a potato's day if you could either cover Swords Clashing from 7th Dragon or CrossCode The Path to Justice, Apollo's theme! Thank you for blessing our ears!
Any kind of Doom would do it, really. Death-Doom, Blacken Doom, Stoner/Psychedelic Doom, Funeral Doom, Sludge Doom, Drone Doom, heck maybe even Industrial Doom like Author and Punisher. Or, and don't @ me on this, any kind of Atmospheric and Post or Ambient Metal. Novembre, The Ocean, etc.
I remember how young me was too spooked out of this that I can't handle listening to the entire thing until finish And well, listening to your cover of this now, it still gives me chills. Funny how one can be terrified of chilling music. Its essence is something
I've watched this video easily a hundred times by now because the music's so good and I've been so encapsulated by everything that I just noticed your shirt. Fitting.
A lot proggyer than I was thinking but then again, I expect Doom Metal with this and I forgot it was Our Boi here. The last third was about right in my mind. What a great cover. The madman
How awesome is this?! I love this theme so much its so creepy and beautiful at the same time and than you made such a great metal version out of it!!! 😍😍😍

it was not so much scary, it was just somber.

I use scrappy.
The spare god in my pocket:
Wouldja look at this talented, smokey boi!
yooooo colm
The purple smokey vibe really brings the tone together. Nice.
It's lavender. lol
Came to say from three days in the future, it is indeed lavender.

That's an image I never thought about before but now kinda want to see in action.

This.

Creepy, but the kind of creepy that you'd pay for theater popcorn for.
@@SirBladewind i think there's a game about it
bring all the types to fight them
As much as I want to complain about having chills in the middle of September instead of October, this is one hell of a banger.
Halloween starts September 1st. If we can hear about Christmas for 3 months, Halloween can have a couple too :P
@@blahblah9036 Poor thanksgiving.
@@yinyang452 I agree, but Thanksgiving has only ever had the one day, and at this point half the people just treat it as a prep phase for mall violence.
I wish Gamefreak had the balls to put creepy songs and places like this in newer Pokemon games.
They’ve done some freaky stuff
Abandoned store in Sun/Moon was pretty good.
They did the Old Chateau really good justice in the DP remakes.
Man that b so epic, but I too want more og. Game freak back
@@UTO7 exactly
Opening notes spooked my cats. 10/10
Scaredy cat
If you think this video is too early for spooky month, you should be glad Richaad didn’t decide to upload a Christmas video and cause violence
surprised to see no comments for 7 months. and now here I am ruining that for no reason other than to bring attention to one the of the pure things that was left in this World.
The fact that Rich took the old, already Proggy, Lavender Town arrangement and just brought the djent up 10 levels is absolutely beautiful.
'Richaadeb used Lavender Town Metal Cover'
It was super effective!
OMFG I love the meter switches dude! Brings a whole new edge to this melody! 🔥👻
Holy crap I love the feel this gives off so freaking much
It was already absolutely amazing in the first 2 and a half minutes, but when the drop at 2:27 hits...
*_DAAAAMMMMNNNNNN._*
I do not understand why this cover doesn't have more support, it's so freaking phenomenal and deserves way more attention than it's gotten.
So eerie and sad... also [REDACTED] shirt was a fitting choice
I know this just came out, but on the other hand, it feels like it's always been here.
Spooky!
This sounds amazing, not gonna lie, i can see many incredible ways this cover could be used, a burning forest, y'know?
Congrats man, you did it again, made me like your cover more then the original;
when the ghosts of pokémon discover rock music
It’s my favorite genre!
I guess they're a ghost/rock type, now.
... I want to become a ghost type.
Hail Sithis.
the original cover was an old favourite. this is now a new favourite 💜
This theme is the main reason why Lavender Town is scary but at the same time somewhat a hypnotizing song that Makes you enjoy it.
Woaaah, temazo, la composición, esa batería, tan épico, magnífico!
Omg that syncopated riff sounds so GOOD
Spooky month came early this year!
It was some time I listened to one of your covers. I used o listen to them all the time when my first daughter was born. And man, you really got a very distinct style - by the first tunes I already remembered what made your covers so special.
Best cover I've heard of Lavender Town, this ending progression omfg
Always awesome to hear a second swing at an already great cover
freaky tremolo effect for added spoop
absolutely destroyed this one, holy shit! that ending was so sick
If you listen to this song with headphones on you’ll go insane, because of how heckin’ awesome it is!
Lavender Town ~
GENGAR used HEADBANG.
Critical Hit.
It was highly effective.
Inspirational
i respect the Unus Annus drip for extra spookfactor
This is gonna sound hella dorky, but you gave this theme the respect it truly deserves. Even right down to the smaller details of the video and the music itself. 10/10!
The most impressive part of this is managing to convert the song into 7/4
Haha you know he put all those notes just off the normal timing just to mess with us lol
Like the Wii shop theme with the huge pauses
Made me check my calendar for October haha Great stuff as always, my dude!
I hate to be the ones to impose, but it'd make a potato's day if you could either cover Swords Clashing from 7th Dragon or CrossCode The Path to Justice, Apollo's theme!
Thank you for blessing our ears!
Love the 'ghost show' shirt. I still remember, one year after
Unus Annus. If you know, you know.
I remember that scary rumour of that song, It almost ruined my childhood
Anyways this version is a banger
shirt very on point, a great choice.
incredible performance.
It's not the instrument I usually hear doing Lavender Town but I was pleasantly surprised on how good this turned out. I have it on repeat now lol
not until just now have I ever considered how amazing a Korn videogame cover album would be
That unconscious fear of having a convulsion while passing through that town
I thought it was going to be a doom metal/death metal cover, but I still wasn’t disappointed.
Any kind of Doom would do it, really. Death-Doom, Blacken Doom, Stoner/Psychedelic Doom, Funeral Doom, Sludge Doom, Drone Doom, heck maybe even Industrial Doom like Author and Punisher. Or, and don't @ me on this, any kind of Atmospheric and Post or Ambient Metal. Novembre, The Ocean, etc.
Man, the song with the unnusannus merch really hit me in the feels. Lots of memories! Momento Mori everyone.
Momento Mori to you too!
Memento Mori, my friend. We shall meet again.....in the other side. Unus annus
At this point RichaadEB can cover anything you can think in a guitar, that is what I call pro musician moves
I remember how young me was too spooked out of this that I can't handle listening to the entire thing until finish
And well, listening to your cover of this now, it still gives me chills. Funny how one can be terrified of chilling music. Its essence is something
Nightmare turned to an epic boss fight, Good job sir!
I usually don't celebrate a month and a half early, but I'll make an exception this time.
I'm getting those vibes similar to when you worked on Determination: The Purple Side. Fucking love it.
I've watched this video easily a hundred times by now because the music's so good and I've been so encapsulated by everything that I just noticed your shirt. Fitting.
Im so glad this exists
Rich escaped the undertale only to end in Lavander Town
A lot proggyer than I was thinking but then again, I expect Doom Metal with this and I forgot it was Our Boi here. The last third was about right in my mind. What a great cover. The madman
This sounds amazing dude, awesome rendition. Sounds like an epic emotional final boss theme towards the end
Remember kids, all Cubone's are wearing the skull of their dead mothers.
I always wondered what a cover of this song would be like. Absolutely nailed it, it sounds incredible
Richaad is a genius, but Solkriegs dubstep remix of this song is the absolute best.
Banger 🔥
This is probably my favorite arrangement of yours, so this is awesome to see!
I never really thought Lavender Town was scary tbh, more sad than anything. Also kickass theme
Oh yeah this is going in my funeral playlist
what time signature is this cuz i dont think its 4/4 whatever it is its giving me just the most unsettled vibe and i love it
Bro, I didn't think anybody could beat ToxicEternity's cover of this song but.... I stand corrected. Legit made me tear up. So good man. Wow!
It's only September and I'm already spooked.
Love the proggy/djenty rhythms on this one
It's almost spooky month! *aggressively spooky dances*
Memento Mori. Remember death.
GREAT TIMING IT'S ALMOST A SPOOKY MONTH!!!!!!!😄
The creepiest Pokemon Soundtrack? Check.
Richaad and his guitar? Check.
Epic cover? Check.
Faved, liked, subscribed and saved. Love your covers, man!
This is amazing, I'm not even mad at how this sent a chill down my spine. Great work, dude
The way the song opened up at the end was really good, gotta love that proggy feeling!
Oh dude I love this song, great to see a cover of it from you
This cover slams, and it's super effective!
Opposite to the intended effect this song has renewed my will to live.
How awesome is this?! I love this theme so much its so creepy and beautiful at the same time and than you made such a great metal version out of it!!! 😍😍😍
Strong Animals as Leaders vibes. Love it
Wait this is not 4/4!
You sneaky bastard ❤️
Yes
"Do you believe in ghosts?"
"No?"
"Yeah, you're right. *That white hand on your shoulder... it's not real.* "
Everyone gangsta till the frequency ghost appears
the best guitar sounds mix and mastering!!
ポケモン待ってた
This is terrifying and yet awe inspiring
Ive wait for it thx man its amazing 🖤
Such an intense cover, it made me tear up!
7/8 + 9/8, cool.
Goddamn this slaps!
Nice shirt btw
Your covers always amaze me they're so beautiful
When you're playing pokemon on your ds past your bedtime, and your mom already caught you once with it.
You should totally do DARK CAVE from Gold, Silver, Crystal. One of my favorite tracks
Halloween came early this year :O Thanks Richaad!!!
sounds like something that would play in binding of issac or super meat boy
Chorus or Flanger? Wicked !!
I had a Gastly when the song started and a Gengar when it finished.
Just Amazing!
Memento Mori, Cubone's Mother
I like this smokin' hot metal cover! I'll be all night folks!
