Not when you're "purging the notes", right? What you know about "the notes"? You weren't born without an instrument. You've never had a string broken. You don't know what it's like to drum and shred and play JUST TO SURVIVE!
@@fooldiamond5452 But you did survive! Through sheer force of will alone, with your own set of chords! With your own two hands, you took back your music!
I want a cover of that one song when you fight the Blade Wolf. I’m bad at the game but at least the song didn’t get dull after 50 deaths to the literal second boss in the game.
Bowden punching Senator Darkstrong made my day. Metal Gear Rising’s soundtrack still slaps, and I’m excited to see you take on this and potentially the other tracks in the future.
This cover wasn't crazy... it was batshit insane! your singing has improved a lot and standing here, I realize that we still don't have a single cover of the hot wind blowing on spotify
Underappreciated detail; tuning the title lyric to the melody of "beneath the blood-stained sand" was an awesome move. Those are some tricky notes to carry, too, nicely done on the vocal performance! And Bowser Raiden vs Dark Bowser Armstrong puppet fight was the film we never knew we wanted to accompany it.
AMAZING WORK!! This goes so hard, you really make me appreciate the songs!! ALSO SHOUT OUTS TO MY BEST FRIEND REKASAURUS FOR THE THUMBNAIL!!! HES SO TALENTED!!! AUGHHH!!!
Jonny could've just sang the song. He could've just came out, sang the song and yelled Nanomachines at us, and no one would've complained. But the extra effort put into this with the puppets and the suit, the partial fades between guitar and vocal shots, and excessive use of animated fire footage for the background made this video a masterpiece!
Standing here, I realize... that you can improve basically any song ever made, somehow. Phenomenal job as per usual! Edit: hey how about A Stranger I Remain next? The Only Thing I Know For Real would be cool and all but ASIR is probably the best song on the soundtrack and it doesn't get talked about enough so
Standing here I realize You are just like me Watching Jonny make history But who's to judge The fanbase strong When our guard is down I think we'll all agree That legends Breed legends And with all the demand It had to be this way *Atmamachines, son.*
You have the same vocal style as Jamie Christopherson so this was bound to be incredible. This is literally a perfect cover that nails the atmosphere and intensity of the original and pushes it that little bit farther, just like it always needed.
What an incredible cover! 💙 The acoustic is really nice to listen to as well! Also is that Ori in the end card? Are we getting an Ori and Shriek cover? 👀
GaMetal's covers are the best. Maybe it's because they never favor one instrument too strong, cuz he can do everything. Guitars are awesome, the drums, the bass are awesome, and my God. The vocals. There needs to be more OSTs with vocals so we can hear this man's voice more.
“So can you tell us why you burnt your own house down sir?” “I was filming a cover of It Has To Be This Way while also making my two Bowser puppets fight to reenact the Senator Armstrong boss fight”
Why won't you make a bad cover?!? Jonny: GaMetal, son! It hardens in response to banger songs. You can't trip me up. Damn you really rocked this one though dude. The fire in the background couldn't hold a candle to the fire coming from your guitar OR vocal chords!
The collective consciousness is telling me to ask for a collective consciousness cover next (after the The only thing I know for real cover I know is going to be next)
oh my god i lost it at the outfit. Extremely funny, but also, you're actually buff enough to nail the look pretty well lmao. Awesome cover Jonny! Really killed it with both the double kick and that extra solo in there.
The mother of all covers is here. This goes absolutely hard beyond what I could've even imagined along with your incredible vocals. This is a banger of a cover. Excellent work as always!
This cover is awesome. Its the only cover that captures why I enjoy the original. There is a certain way the voices are layered on "realize" and similar parts that makes it sound so epic.
"My source is that I made it the fuck up" Fantastic cover! After the Stains of Time cover, I really wanted to see this song be done, and you handled it perfectly! The Bowser vs Dark Bowser fight replicating Raiden Vs. Armstrong, the fact that you were dressed as Armstrong himself, the vocals and instrumental, it was a fantastic cover for the fantastically memetic song. As for requests, I'd like to see another memetic song from a hack n' slash game: Bury the Light from DMC5.
"Made game music covers, ya know." "On some cushy lo-fi channel!" "Try GaMetal. Could've gone pro if I played more MGR music. I'm not one of those soft rock pansies. I could break Rules of Nature in two with my acoustic guitar! DON'T FUCK WITH THIS ROCKER!"
as someone whose been following you for like 10 years now, and just seeing THIS alongside how talented you are i really do not understand how you don't have more subscribers. between your guitar playing, how you always mix in that amazing keyboard playing, and your amazing voice i really think you're one of the most talented musicians i've ever listened to
ATMA!!! I said my guitar was a tool of justice... Not used for shredding... Not used for covers... But now...now im not so sure... And besides...this isnt my guitar...
That form, theres no mistaking it.... Next video, the spirit of the forest awakens in some way... My guess is "Light of Nibel" but it could be literally anything from either game.
I heard that Jonny Atma makes the best music known to man! Where’s your source? My source is that I liked the video and subscribed to his RUclips channel!
Standing here I realise That my ears are bleeding from this music But whose to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we both agree That I like this music But in the end this video will stop
Day 244 and Kartikeya sad, he didn't get to do DND today since he was the only person besides the DM who showed up.... But Kartikeya still has hope that one day his message is heard far and wide! At least he has a single amigo in Bud of Sharon by his side!
Sounds good. Looks good. Feels good, too. I love that you went out of your way to wear a tight white-collar shirt. And to do this cool... uh... puppetry?
NJ Mockingbird I got for a great price used-guitar-hunting almost 10 years ago. Dropped Seymour Duncan blackout pickups given to me by a friend some time ago in it, but only the bridge one works (not sure why, can’t get neck pickup to work). Been using it as my ‘I don’t have a 7 string’ drop B (and for this song, drop A) tuned guitar. It makes the rare appearance every now and then. 🙂👍🏼
No doubt about it in my mind - covers of all the iconic Metal Gear Rising songs should be done. "Can't fight nature, Jack." After all, it has to be this way.

Who else would die to see this legend cover the entire MGR OST?
I'm still processing the fact that he did even one MGR song after years of waiting.

The puppets deserve a raise, Jonny.

We can help give all of them a raise by supporting these awesome covers!
IT'S PENNY CHANGE
Sounds like something Armstrong would say LMAO
Only problem is that the tie isn't yellow

Dark Star, son!
Joe bowden
Bowsenador!
Everybody's talking about the song, but can we just take a second to appreciate the visuals?
They're arguably the best visuals of GaMetal's done yet!
Absolutely. From the Bowser QTEs, to the Armstrong cosplay, to the backdrop in general, it's top notch.
omg suspicious temmie
@@TheSaiphWorkshop Yeah I'm a big GaMetal fan lol
I just realized I wrote this comment wrong, but now I can't edit it because it has a heart.
Oof
Never realized how much I needed this until you did it. \m/

Thank you Hunter! 😃

MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL METAL COVERS HERE JACK, CAN'T FRET OVER EVERY CHORD
Well… you probably should.
pretty sure you need to use frets to play the guitar though
@@bingo2underscores There are fretless guitars and basses. Now somebody just needs to cover this song with them for the memes.
Underappreciated detail; tuning the title lyric to the melody of "beneath the blood-stained sand" was an awesome move. Those are some tricky notes to carry, too, nicely done on the vocal performance!

Bowser is racist
Played in a college band, y'know.
In some cushy Ivy League music room.
3:06 how you remixed the solo from "Blood Stained Sand" into "It has to be this way" was CHILL inducing. Expert work.
3:13 Really loved that final "it has to be this WAAAAAAY"
AMAZING WORK!! This goes so hard, you really make me appreciate the songs!!
ALSO SHOUT OUTS TO MY BEST FRIEND REKASAURUS FOR THE THUMBNAIL!!! HES SO TALENTED!!! AUGHHH!!!
What many people consider the best final boss theme is finally covered by Johnny.
Simply amazing cover.
The best final boss theme is Dialga's Fight to the Finish
@@internetguy7319 I'm a little biased cause I grew up with that, but I think I'd agree, though both are f*ckin phenomenal either way 🤘
Thanks!
Thank you Afrotech! 😃

Look at the Bowser's fighting each other so cute. Great cover, I like how you added the extra "it has to be this way" near the end. Nice touch
Why is that a better lyric lol, even though it makes him sound like sherk roaring.
Standing here, I realize... that you can improve basically any song ever made, somehow. Phenomenal job as per usual!
Edit: hey how about A Stranger I Remain next? The Only Thing I Know For Real would be cool and all but ASIR is probably the best song on the soundtrack and it doesn't get talked about enough so
Directly from one supreme banger of a final boss theme to another, stellar work as always
God tier! The vocals, the plushies, the video description, the suit, and most importantly the instruments! Holy hell Jonny this cover is amazing!
The dedication is insane, you even set your house on fire to match the visuals from the battle. Awesome cover as always.
Nah, his performance was just so fire that the house started burning on its own.
3:53 “No bowsers we’re harmed in the making of this video.”
I certainly hope so😅
"Played College Guitar you know"
"At some lame garage band"
Perfect timing! Gametal + gym time is an amazing experience!!
True that!
Holy fuck me too
Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Watching Jonny make history
But who's to judge
The fanbase strong
When our guard is down
I think we'll all agree
That legends
Breed legends
And with all the demand
It had to be this way
*Atmamachines, son.*
"Damn, how do you keep on making these epic covers...?"
"NANOCOVERS, SON, THEY CREATE IN RESPONSE TO GIGACHAD REQUESTS."
I am SO glad no Bowsers were harmed, I was getting really concerned
You have the same vocal style as Jamie Christopherson so this was bound to be incredible. This is literally a perfect cover that nails the atmosphere and intensity of the original and pushes it that little bit farther, just like it always needed.
Never been this early, but it already sounds sublime as usual!
[EDIT] This gave me literal goosebumps while listening to it. It's that damn good.
0:24 I love it how you added the punching from the final boss
0:51 standing here
1:31 He did the "Nanomachines, Son!"
The puppets lmao. And that was a fun flourish at the end, never thought to end the song like that. Wonderful work as always, dude.
Excellent work! The guitar work is simply a delight for the ears
Now show us Red Sun
You came here for the song,
I came here to watch Bowser Raiden fight Dark Bowser Armstrong.
*We are not the same.*
Probably the second best version of It Has To Be This Way (Number One is the Platinum Mix in the game)
Very early in, but this goes incredibly hard! Loving the vocals, too!
The madman has done it! Singing and cover are phenomenal!
DARK BOWSER HAS A LITTLE SUIT I CAN'T THIS IS AMAZING
Power Mushrooms son! They cause rapid shell growth in response to physical trauma!
Your covers are awesome, you could even say...
THEY HAVE TO BE THIS WAAAAAAAY
PS: smartly dressed, nuff said.
This is amzing. I would absolutely love to also see Battle! Zero Lab one day (aka AI Turo and Sada's theme from Scarlett and Violet)
What an incredible cover! 💙 The acoustic is really nice to listen to as well!
Also is that Ori in the end card? Are we getting an Ori and Shriek cover? 👀
Whoever it is, those goat legs are driving me insane. No one I can think of has that silhouette but also GOAT LEGS.
Just finished the game like an hour ago
Worth every penny and more
Nanobowsers, son.
They harden in response to physical trauma.
GaMetal's covers are the best. Maybe it's because they never favor one instrument too strong, cuz he can do everything. Guitars are awesome, the drums, the bass are awesome, and my God. The vocals. There needs to be more OSTs with vocals so we can hear this man's voice more.
It scored very high on the ballot.
You knew it had to be this way.
“So can you tell us why you burnt your own house down sir?”
“I was filming a cover of It Has To Be This Way while also making my two Bowser puppets fight to reenact the Senator Armstrong boss fight”
Why won't you make a bad cover?!?
Jonny: GaMetal, son! It hardens in response to banger songs. You can't trip me up.
Damn you really rocked this one though dude. The fire in the background couldn't hold a candle to the fire coming from your guitar OR vocal chords!
"Nanoremixes, son!"
2:29 kritika boss theme soundtrack just like the same ❤️❤️❤️
The collective consciousness is telling me to ask for a collective consciousness cover next (after the The only thing I know for real cover I know is going to be next)
oh my god i lost it at the outfit. Extremely funny, but also, you're actually buff enough to nail the look pretty well lmao. Awesome cover Jonny! Really killed it with both the double kick and that extra solo in there.
at this rate, he's gotta do "the only thing I know is for real", "red sun" and even "collective consciousness" and "a stranger I remain"
OH MY GOODNESS! First newer video of yours that I've seen and I gotta say, you've gotten even better since then.
Also, nice beard
*Fight begins.
Jack: Where is this music from??
The mother of all covers is here. This goes absolutely hard beyond what I could've even imagined along with your incredible vocals. This is a banger of a cover. Excellent work as always!
What better way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this monument of a game than with the mother of all GaMetal Remix!
"Impossible?! how does he shred like that?"
"Nanomachines son!"
Another vocal performance! My god you guys have really outdid yourselves.
THE GUITAR AT 2:09, SINGLEHANDEDLY, HAD NO REASON TO SHRED SO HARD
*I THINK MY EARS HAVE ASCENDED*
*Ears, son*
*They feel pleasure when hearing this cover*
I hope you guys cover Break Through It All. It's my favorite Sonic Frontiers track.
Best song from the game, no contest. Undefeatable and Find Your Flame might be fighting for second, but nothing's topping BTIA
The production value of your videos has gotten so good over the last few years, this shit is awesome.
