For anybody interested, I'm just about done transcribing this to Guitar Hero ;) Edit: Aaaaaaand here's V1 - GH3 Custom - S.S.H. - Lightning Strikes Again / Metal Squad
Suckymacworthless Unfortunately I didn't read your comment before listening. I just drove into a military naval base, crashed my car and accidentally blew up the Spanish navy by mistake.
2:33 is the fucking best, no contest. The thing is, the original tunes are also incredible. The Sega MegaDrive sound chip is unbelievably good, and it still sounds sharp and clean if you hook your MegaDrive up to modern speakers!
There are no words in any human language to describe this fucking masterpiece. All I can do is a gutteral "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
This song gets me pumped .. in any form or mix .. but its just so uplifting and creates a "feel good" atmosphere. like no other song has. Godamn Metal Squad FTMFW !
You, my good sir, have just done the impossible. You have made a cover for, and more than done justice to, the original Thunder Force IV Metal Squad track. Holy. Crap.
Thank you so much for the files through the provided links in the description. I deeply enjoy the talent and the rifts give me energy to start my morning!
YoungOTBWY It is, however, not a shoot-em-up. And with the SNES's bleepy-ass sound chip, it didn't matter how beautifully composed the music was - it sounded like it was being played through iPod headphones at the bottom of a toilet tank.
khhnator Shows a lot about the guy when he honestly prefers a mediocre game like U.N. Squadron over Thunder Force IV; a game that easily rivals the biggest arcade shooters of the time.
This game was fucking ace! I remember staying up till god knows what time at night in the conservatory playing it as a kid. This track though... holy shit nuggets it's something...
Honestly if you took this song and applied it to most ship-shooters it would work. Also for some strange reson.... If you applied this to Sonic... It would make sense. I don't know why..... But it would.
Way fucking heaps badass bodaciously bitchin' to the bone radcore cover!! The lead at the start has a bit of an Alex Skolnick (Testament) vibe going on in bits, amazing tone, recording and great mix. Killer stuff dudes!!!!
EPIC FTW!!! "Words haven't even been invented yet" (Vin Diesel F&F7 Paul RIP) to describe this track. It is everything and is the only thing that can match my feelings for the franchise and TFIV in general. When I first played through it, it was US version Lightening Force The Quest for Death Star and man they did it right. Devs should never forget that music is just as much as important as graphics, game play, and overall fun factor. I replayed the game with this running on repeat in the back ground. Mind blown! Lightning Strikes Again - Metal Squad...Well done!
HOLY SHIT
I think my blood just turned to gasoline.
BUCKLE UP KIDDIES, WE'RE GOIN FOR A RIDE
GOD
DAMN
Personoide Love it when a person's avatar so perfectly matches their comment like that.

This. Is. God tier.
Track 01
What the fuck
Alright, who favorited this the exact instant the opening riff kicked in?
Who did this cover? Eddie Van Halen himself?

Free tip: Don't drive and listen to this song at the same time.
Suckymacworthless I did, and once i hit 88 I broke the space time continuum. True story.
Suckymacworthless You'll speed. Learned this the hard way.

They seriously need to remake this game on the next gen consoles and use this as the starting point. TAKE MY MONEY!!! TAKE IT!!!
Song freaking rocks!
There are no words in any human language to describe this fucking masterpiece.
All I can do is a gutteral "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
my brain just came
What was that??!!!
Anyone still listening in 2020?
The power chords at the beginning sound more like they belong in the F-Zero X intro, which is no bad thing :)
Can anyone recommend any bands/ artists where I can find this sound?
