As someone who also makes Mega Man remixes in his free time, the extensive use of synth instruments makes me very pleased. Glad I'm not the only one who does it!
Valor | Fr3ak Thank you 😊 Glad to hear you say that. There's a ton of guitar heavy renditions of MM music out there so it's nice that some of us do it in another way 😃 I really enjoy working with synths and I personally feel at home playing keys 😅 That being said, I mean no disrespect to all fantastic guitar players out there.
Hyde209 VGM Remixer Synths are definitely the way to go in my opinion due to how insanely versatile they are. I may upload some of my Mega Man remixes here one day, as some of them were featured in Flashman85's streams.
Hyde209 VGM Remixer I use mostly custom made synths which I made in Caustic 3. Some are edited presets which are already existing, but they sound remarkably similar to the ones I hear often in your music!
So, I see that you're doing MM5 remixes now... Good to see, I was a fan of your remixes back in the day and I always looked forward to see your next ones (I'm that one guy that loved your Gemini Man track). Looks like you have to choose between Gyro, Wave, and Star Man next time. Definitely looking forward to the last in that list the most. Nice work!
Oh man, I still remember that first remix of this theme...My request I believe. ^_^ Well I have to say that this one here is BETTER than that one! I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time this played. Keeps the energy and funk that the original song AND your first remix had, but with a more modern twist I think. I LOVE the military-like drum percussion being played in this, especially at the beginning. Another thing, but that sound making the "ting ting" sound at the beginning...actually made me think of some of the music played in the movie Aliens. Don't know if you've seen it, but it just made the remix all the more badass in my eyes. Honestly, the ONLY thing this remix was missing I think was some more electric guitar, giving it a more hard rock or metal vib. However, I feel like you've captured the heart and soul of what made me love Napalm Man's theme. :)
Powershade117 Really glad to hear it bro 😃 Yeah the anvil hit sound was indeed inspired by the Aliens soundtrack. It's one of my alltime favourite sci-fi movies 😅 Nicely spotted friend. I'm very happy with how this turned out and while it's true that a tougher guitar sound would be cool this is very much in line with the overall sound I was going for 😊
I hear the difference between this and your first Version of this theme, But i think i also hear some similar tunes. Over all, this, and your older version are "blasting" remixes in My ears.
Thanks man ^^ Yeah it did feel kinda wierd to make a new arrangement for this tune, but it was fun to revisit it and make it fresh with new sounds. Glad you still enjoy my first take on this even though it's kinda old now =P
Ed Kolis Yeah and it works great in this tune. It's been done before so It's no stroke of genius though 😅 The castle in Super Mario World just to name one example.
I can't help but think that this could benefit from more use of sound effects. LIke the pump racking on a shotgun, the double-click of a revolver being cocked, or the steady buzz of an aircraft's missile lock warning. Then again, there's not a terrible lot you can do with this one - the base song's so good that too much embellishment would actually detract from it.
That bass synth sounds great! And you got some lucky drops in that play through ;). Is it coincidental that this cover is just as long as it took you to get through the level, or did you plan that out?
Hyde209 VGM Remixer so I guess wily is considered a war criminal now yet nobody managed to get evidence that wily used an outlawed weapon because when your in napalm man's stage you're in the middle of *NOWHERE*

Valor | Fr3ak Yeah they totally are. What synths do you use by the way? I would totally check 'em out if/when you post them 😊
Hyde209 VGM Remixer I use mostly custom made synths which I made in Caustic 3. Some are edited presets which are already existing, but they sound remarkably similar to the ones I hear often in your music!
Valor | Fr3ak That's cool 😃 I mosty use my Roland Fantom X6 and a microKORG. I also use a wide array of VSTs. GTG-synths to mention a few 😊
You did a great job with this remix, loving all of these so far
brian steinker Thank you 😊 I'm having so much fun making them 😃
the remix that does this man justice is finally here

SplendidNobleYouth - Star Man Nice to see you're still around 😃 Yeah it's great to work on MM music again. Stay tuned for sure 😊

Probably my favorite from this game. Bad ass dude
Project Genesis Thanks man 😃 Yeah this is definately one of the more memorable tracks in this game. Glad you liked it bro 😊
Great! Now all we need to do is ask for a remake of Mega Man 5 with Napalm Man using ACTUAL napalm. With this remix as his theme music of course.
Thank you yeah that would really be something 😃 A remake of any classic Mega Man would be great.
*checks Mega Man Powered Up's music* I'm not too sure about that.
@@odwrksboxedtrash3730 Yeah that is a good remake from what I've heard, but the cute graphic style is too much for me 😅
That and they ruined almost all the songs of the robot masters. They ruined Cut Man's theme in my opinion... But Time Man's theme is pretty sweet.
I hear the difference between this and your first Version of this theme, But i think i also hear some similar tunes.
Over all, this, and your older version are "blasting" remixes in My ears.

It's a jungle out there!
Indeed it is.
This is really good
Richard Conway Thank you 😊
this is amazing
Thank you 💥
Love the part near the end where you mess with the pitch a bit - reminds me of Megaman X!
Ed Kolis Ah you mean when the main melody is played in minor 😃 I enjoy that part too. Yeah it does actually remind you a bit of X 😊
Oh, a minor key, that's what you did? Didn't recognize it!
Ed Kolis Yeah and it works great in this tune. It's been done before so It's no stroke of genius though 😅 The castle in Super Mario World just to name one example.

Wonderful!
Norse Dragonhunt Thank you 😊
Sgt Napalm Man
That bass synth sounds great!
And you got some lucky drops in that play through ;). Is it coincidental that this cover is just as long as it took you to get through the level, or did you plan that out?
Yeah I love me some good synth bass =D It's actually not me playing and yes it is very much coincidental =P
Will you do megman 1 ???
personne Some day I hope 😅
Hyde209 VGM Remixer nice
Is wrong for me to habe Napalm Man as my favorite robot ever? 😅
it is believed MM5 was banned in Vietnam because of Napalm Man
Yeah I know and that does actually make a lot of sense.
Also, Napalm Man doesn't have many friends, since he is quite literally a walking weapon!
*Vietnam Flashbacks Made A Comeback*
Why the heck do they still use napalm in the 21 Century.
Krager's The Gamer Yeah it's beyond me too 🤔
Hyde209 VGM Remixer so I guess wily is considered a war criminal now yet nobody managed to get evidence that wily used an outlawed weapon because when your in napalm man's stage you're in the middle of *NOWHERE*
