Brotherman, I'm still there, still unable to forget this badass cover, my age literally doubled since that happened, yet I still feel as young as back then, what mind and soul remembers, even senile, withering body would not be able to make me forget
Dude... This is a master piece! I've played FFVII many years ago and this song doesn't disappear from my mind... Listening your version I could remember the very good times I had playing as Cloud! Thank you! Congratulations! ;)
I played FFVII so many times that I remember whole fighting theme perfectly... and I must admit, that comparing to other covers your version is FLAWLESS. Keep it up, man, good job.
As a gutiar player myself, I just don't get tired of watching your videos over and over. Man, there's a lot of shit on youtube, and even more shit when it comes to guitar playing.. But, you're on a different level.. You could be playing with the best. But, what I wanted to say is that you're REALLY AWESOME. People like you inspire me to be a better musician. You rock man.. You really do.
I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time, but I've never commented. I have to this time. This is fucking amazing! There are 2 reasons why I love your work: 1. Your arrangements are perfect. You never take away from the original music, only add to it. So few cover artists have respect for the original material, but you seem to get it. 2. Your skill is amazing. Damn you are good! Thank you so much for what you do! Big thanks to OneyNG as well. Good job guys!
The first climax of the battle theme was great. And then the second one came and you handled all the elements very nicely. I'm blown away, dude. You're talented as hell.
@TripleOverdrive Thanks for the kind words, sir! I definitely spend more time arranging these tunes than any other aspect of producing them (recording, mixing, etc.) It's nice to know that it's not going unappreciated. Good luck with your music!
What an incredible version!! Perfect going around the solo and all other parts. It definitely should be on the original remake, it's amazing!!!!! Congrats!
Breaumance imma necro this a second time because you do realize that comment is 6 years old, right? and you also realize that making covers of a song is almost as hard as making the songs themselves? there’s nothing wrong with making money off of covers.
@Breaumance Cursing for no reason? Check. Using the word "kid"? Check. Visible anger? Check. Dot dot dots? Check. Diagnosis: Edgy 23-year-old. You've been prescribed a healthy dose of melatonin.
This is the version I liked the most for what I have found on RUclips. I liked specially the solo part from 3:28 to 3:47 (3:36 to 3:37 is my favorite one). Consider to make two Strider themes, Strider 2: Destroy the Terrorist in the Occupied City and the Strider theme from the original Marvel VS Capcom.
My second favorite guitar/drum cover of this. Yours stands out especially for the unique addition at the end, which isn't part of the original song, but keeps with the overall pitch of the several sections of the original song. (Like around the same time you'd be playing high pitched if you continued the original tune, you play your own addition at that same pitch at that same time and length.
Can I use this in a video? I'm planning to do a "Video Games in Real Life" kind of thing and I want to use this in the turned-based combat scene. I'll credit you and put a link to this in the description.
Lokopo, I actually took Dei Horus (down a few comments) advice and I am playing FF7 on Steam with all 8 song versions from Artificial Fear playing on the game. Just replace the .ogg files on the music folder (of course after cutting and converting to .ogg the AF versions) Common fights are great, Sephiroth song is chilling and the battle boss song (Fight On!) raise your hair. Awesome!
Hear ye! Hear ye! This man has done it! How beautiful THIS would be in the remake behind some action like the last scene of the Bahamut-Sin battle in A.C where they all help fling Cloud up to Aerith. Or a good firefight with Barrett and Vincent--the Reno/Rude/Elena encounter! or maybe the Hojo fight. You made FF7 as epic as she can be with that outtro bruh!! Bravo! Bravo!
There are a few good covers of this song on YT, but this one's my favorite by far. Your drum arrangement in the background suits the song and isn't crazy busy or intricate like some covers I've seen. The climax of the song is the high part at 1:02, and your arrangement of that section in halftime captures the sentiment with perfection. Powerful, chills, and time-stopping. I seriously want to Omnislash the fuck out of something whenever I hear that part. Well done, man! Check out my Power Rangers theme cover when you have a sec! ruclips.net/video/oxLcEV0W6R8/видео.html
Very impressive. I played the game a lot when I was younger and this song never gets boring or repetitive for me. Some parts of this rendition gave me goosebumps! I have no idea what that means, but hey! Heh heh heh! Thanks for uploading.
I wanted to go to sleep some time ago but...i just found your AWSOME work. I am modding my FF7 on pc and looked for some alternates for the standard songs. NEVER....NEVER i would have imagined to find such great piece of art! I hope you are living from your talent by now! F*** my bed, can wait. I go through the whole playlist now. And hearing this solo reminded me also of Dynasty Warriors kinda. If they look for an audio-artist in a future project they definitly can´t miss to ask you! Thx man....awsome stuff!
Ah ah! Dude, it was so awesome that, at the end of the song, I almost started to applaude like at the end of a show or a concert! That was great, and I thank you because, that's right, that was an amazing guitar cover, and I'm gonna watch some more!
How is it even possible that this video can get 32 dislikes? This is so awesome! I had chills all over my body for 4:44 minutes! And I still have chills even after the song is over. I say "Win!" and click "favorite". :)
Yeah, so yesterday I had to write a 7 page paper basically from start to finish including at least 6 sources.. at around 9pm.. I was draggin' so I turned on my playlist of your metal zelda tunes AND I PWNED THAT PAPER. Your work is magic.
DUDE!!!!! Awesome guitar, awesome song, but you know what is most awesome? Your playing! The words "nice work" are too much of an understatement for you. I wish you all the best, and god be with you man Your playing is AWESOME!!!
dude when i 1st heard your version of Hurry! i thought nothing could sound better!! glad you proved me wrong :D Final Fantasy VII and metal... shweeeet :P btw thanks a bunch for for the recordin advice you had given me! helped my band a ton!! cheers from the island of Malta!!

You're videos and skill are amazing. Just by watching you inspire me, and give me ideas of how to put my scales together in different ways. I just want to say Thank You and keep rocking!
Vincent on lead guitar, tifa on vocals, cloud on rhythm guitar, barret on bass, cate sith on keyboards, and pretty sure zack would make an awesome drummer. That's what this makes me think of and it makes me smile.
@ArtificialFear Your metal zelda songs have gotten me through many a project. For their existence I am most appreciative. They make the results of my procrastination just that much less awful. \m/
10 years later and this is still the best version of this song.
5 years later and this is still the best cover I have ever heard
Have you heard of thedooo lol
Lol sorry. Now TheDooo has that title
@@rocafella142 Yeah but he doesn't have full cover, but his showcase is freaking sick.
YES
@@rocafella142 LOL not even close
Thumbs up if you are still coming back to this in 2019!
Joe Hammer Gaming 2020 now, and still rockin out 🤘
@@averysdaddy05 I graduated with this guy. He did amazing stuff like this in band class all the time. Good to see he finally reached god tier.
How about June 2020, love this track and all of work Artificial Fear does :)
@killua zoldyck lol apparently this was the only comment I got notified on
This is absolutely balls to the wall material. The pinch harmonics are on point! And any mid riff position shifts are as clean as can be!
That solo!! My god!
I read this around 3:00 - 3:11 and thought "that's it?" Then the real fun started around 3:15.
SolidSnake684 you have now met your new god
Brotherman, I'm still there, still unable to forget this badass cover, my age literally doubled since that happened, yet I still feel as young as back then, what mind and soul remembers, even senile, withering body would not be able to make me forget
I can't get enough of that solo!
OMFG So that's what it would sound like if Cloud used a guitar instead of a sword!
2:43 - omfg!
I just found this 13 years later. It ages like a fine wine brother! Epic riffs!
July 2020, first time hearing this cover! You nailed it my dude!
Cheers!
Dude... This is a master piece! I've played FFVII many years ago and this song doesn't disappear from my mind... Listening your version I could remember the very good times I had playing as Cloud! Thank you! Congratulations! ;)
Here I am just watching all these guitar covers of old video game songs
Ok, seriously, your covers and their arrangements and the solos! They are the best I've ever heard, you're awesome! :P
Categorically the best cover of Those Who Fight on youtube right now. I'd know. I've checked. Outsanding work! -RageMaster
I played FFVII so many times that I remember whole fighting theme perfectly... and I must admit, that comparing to other covers your version is FLAWLESS. Keep it up, man, good job.
this NEEDS TO BE IN THE REMAKE DAMN IT
Brutal. I love the emotion you put into your songs and this song shows it well. They're not just video game covers, they're YOUR video game covers.
Yep still the best cover of this unbelievable track from FFVII, Horns up dude!!
🤘🤘
As a gutiar player myself, I just don't get tired of watching your videos over and over. Man, there's a lot of shit on youtube, and even more shit when it comes to guitar playing.. But, you're on a different level.. You could be playing with the best. But, what I wanted to say is that you're REALLY AWESOME. People like you inspire me to be a better musician. You rock man..

DUDE! they need to use this version for the remake hands down!
I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time, but I've never commented. I have to this time. This is fucking amazing! There are 2 reasons why I love your work:

That was 100% bad ass! Absolutely amazing job!!
Thanks!
The first climax of the battle theme was great. And then the second one came and you handled all the elements very nicely. I'm blown away, dude. You're talented as hell.
I never would have thought that Oney would be a musician of some sorts. I always thought he was all about those awesome cartoons.
Yeah, right? Considering the derpy comedian animations he's famous for :D
omfg, this really is the same guy that made the line Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier?!?
@TripleOverdrive Thanks for the kind words, sir! I definitely spend more time arranging these tunes than any other aspect of producing them (recording, mixing, etc.) It's nice to know that it's not going unappreciated. Good luck with your music!
5 years since I saw this and I still think the section where you start soloing is fucking inspired.
Final fantasy 7 battle theme is good but this just make it so much better! The break down is my favorite part of the score and you did a splendid job!
This is the definition of epicness!!! keep it up man calling you just talented isn't enough!!!
11 years on and this is STILL THE BEST COVER OF THIS SONG!! GREAT IMPROV SHREDDING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 looks how old the TV is in the background!🤣🙈
👴
Ah yes, nearly 10 years later and my arm hairs stand proud.
What an incredible version!! Perfect going around the solo and all other parts. It definitely should be on the original remake, it's amazing!!!!! Congrats!
I hope to God that someone is paying you for this. Well done!

you sir an an incredible musician and i praise you for making such great music tributes to some of my favorite video games, thank you for these
Best cover of anything ever
I really love those little octave licks at 0:26, 0:40, etc.
nearly 9 years...... damn. Still love it
I don't see how anyone could dislike this. He added his own touches to it, and its sounds amazing.
How the hell did I not come across this?! GREAT JOB BRO!
2:16 to 2:34 is the best part of the song, gives me chills.
This is the version I liked the most for what I have found on RUclips. I liked specially the solo part from 3:28 to 3:47 (3:36 to 3:37 is my favorite one). Consider to make two Strider themes, Strider 2: Destroy the Terrorist in the Occupied City and the Strider theme from the original Marvel VS Capcom.
The Stride 2 theme I am talking about is the music from the first stage.
My second favorite guitar/drum cover of this. Yours stands out especially for the unique addition at the end, which isn't part of the original song, but keeps with the overall pitch of the several sections of the original song.

Sure!
ArtificialFear I know this is late, but thank you!
This is by far my favourite rendition of this classic tune. Artificial Fear, I take my virtual hat off to you sir!
Great work!
2:38 Brace yourself
Easily your best solo, even considering the massive epicness of all your solos.
Also, you + OneyNG = fantastical.
Great, great, great cover.
This is Fantastic
This earned you a new sub. Absolutely awesome. Woke me up out of a dead sleep with sheer badassery.
OH. MY. GOD.
I keep going back to this to re-listen. Such a goddamn good cover.
you need more thumbs.. I need to give you more thumbs... many.....MANY more thumbs... awesome work!
2020 I'm still coming back to this.. lol
Square Enix must seriously consider this into their next FF.
Lokopo I agree completely....But that would kinda ruin the magic of it...
AJ Phares might be worth waiting for a pc release and mod this to be the boss battle music
Lokopo, I actually took Dei Horus (down a few comments) advice and I am playing FF7 on Steam with all 8 song versions from Artificial Fear playing on the game. Just replace the .ogg files on the music folder (of course after cutting and converting to .ogg the AF versions)
Common fights are great, Sephiroth song is chilling and the battle boss song (Fight On!) raise your hair. Awesome!
+Lokopo you should check out the FFVII cover by Whispered, it's really awesome though this version is pretty damn awesome!! :)
5 years later...
Hear ye! Hear ye! This man has done it!
How beautiful THIS would be in the remake behind some action like the last scene of the Bahamut-Sin battle in A.C where they all help fling Cloud up to Aerith. Or a good firefight with Barrett and Vincent--the Reno/Rude/Elena encounter! or maybe the Hojo fight.
You made FF7 as epic as she can be with that outtro bruh!! Bravo! Bravo!
Not as good as the piano, but still...
Very good!!!
Are you high on something writing that??? I play piano, but I absolutely love this so much more than the piano version. But, they are both awesome.
roflmfao@piano
What a idiot!!
OMFG. bruh that solo melted my face! hell, it melted my entire head. absolutely amazing man. good stuff
There are a few good covers of this song on YT, but this one's my favorite by far. Your drum arrangement in the background suits the song and isn't crazy busy or intricate like some covers I've seen.

this is the best rock cover for this song.
what a cover i just had to binge watch this like 3 times!
I immediately recognize the beat. I like how your keep the original feeling of the songs even when you change them quite a bit my friend.
This puts a huge smile on my face when listening, awesome work!
Such a badass tune, and your added flair worked really well. Good stuff man
I wanted to go to sleep some time ago but...i just found your AWSOME work. I am modding my FF7 on pc and looked for some alternates for the standard songs. NEVER....NEVER i would have imagined to find such great piece of art! I hope you are living from your talent by now! F*** my bed, can wait. I go through the whole playlist now.
And hearing this solo reminded me also of Dynasty Warriors kinda. If they look for an audio-artist in a future project they definitly can´t miss to ask you! Thx man....awsome stuff!
How can I put this song on my FF7 PC version for the battles?
Holy Shit that is good!!!!! Not only is it flawless but you made it your own with the pinch harmonics and the incredible solo.
Ah ah! Dude, it was so awesome that, at the end of the song, I almost started to applaude like at the end of a show or a concert! That was great, and I thank you because, that's right, that was an amazing guitar cover, and I'm gonna watch some more!
13 years later and it's still the best cover of this song.
By listening to this it's clear to see that someone can beat the battle arena by using a guitar!
EPIC!!!
This really makes me want to pick up a guitar again. Great cover my friend.
How is it even possible that this video can get 32 dislikes? This is so awesome! I had chills all over my body for 4:44 minutes! And I still have chills even after the song is over. I say "Win!" and click "favorite". :)
Nostalgia brought to the 22nd century!🙈
Yeah, so yesterday I had to write a 7 page paper basically from start to finish including at least 6 sources.. at around 9pm.. I was draggin' so I turned on my playlist of your metal zelda tunes AND I PWNED THAT PAPER.
Your work is magic.
JUST WOW ! You’re amazing !
Still amazing after all these years! Bravo!
DUDE!!!!! Awesome guitar, awesome song, but you know what is most awesome? Your playing! The words "nice work" are too much of an understatement for you. I wish you all the best, and god be with you man Your playing is AWESOME!!!
dude when i 1st heard your version of Hurry! i thought nothing could sound better!! glad you proved me wrong :D Final Fantasy VII and metal... shweeeet :P btw thanks a bunch for for the recordin advice you had given me! helped my band a ton!! cheers from the island of Malta!!
I love that this game is over 10 years old by now but theres still so many videos like this!
dude when 1st heard your version of Hurry! i thought nothing could sound better!! glad you proved me wrong :D Final Fantasy VII and metal... shweeeet :P btw thanks a bunch for for the recordin advice you had given me! helped my band a ton!! cheers from the island of Malta!!
This is my favorite cover of Fighting that I've found. Thank you sir!
FFVIII may be my favorite Final Fantasy but FFVII has my favorite battle theme. And you just made it even more awesome.
THIS IS THE BEST OF THIS SONG THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD!!! I WOULD TOTALLY PAY FOR THIS!!!
Dude.. you just made my whole year. I applaud you sir.
Amazing cover of my favourite battle theme. Good work man !!!
This the best metalic rock version, I listen to this all the time. Love FF7 and this cover
Before the cover even started I saw who did the orchestra parts and almost busted out laughing because I know what kind of content he makes!
the solos you add in are so awesome
Thanks for sharing! This was exactly what I was looking for and has been stuck in my head since 2 days ago when I first liked this video
Dude same here
There it is. The greatest RUclips video. Ever.
You're videos and skill are amazing. Just by watching you inspire me, and give me ideas of how to put my scales together in different ways. I just want to say Thank You and keep rocking!
Your version gets me so HYPE!!!! Great job man!!!!!
You make my childhood cry snd sing of joy and happiness! Thank you!
There's just something about your stuff, that's so god damn awesome. This is just so amazing.
@artificialfear they better use this music for the remake of FF7 ! I will lose my shit if that happens ! Well done mate ! Love all your covers !
This videos been here since 2011 and I’m only just finding it now, what the hell have I been doing with my life?
Vincent on lead guitar, tifa on vocals, cloud on rhythm guitar, barret on bass, cate sith on keyboards, and pretty sure zack would make an awesome drummer. That's what this makes me think of and it makes me smile.
Barret would make more sense as a drummer as he lacks one of his hands...not unless something can be setup to make it possible.
Rotating bass pick gatling! Oh and reno on cowbell
13 years and still the best version of this song
Heard so many covers of this and this beats them all by far
oh. my. god. O.O you just keep getting better and better, and we just keep creaming ourselves more and more. this was amazing. O.O
Great cover and great solo mate!!! I can't get enough of it!
very simple well put together lead well done
This really is beautiful. Keep up the astounding work.
2:00 - 2:30 is disgustingly well done.
All of it is, but this part just stands out to me.
@ArtificialFear Your metal zelda songs have gotten me through many a project. For their existence I am most appreciative. They make the results of my procrastination just that much less awful.
