I appreciate you letting it build before going over-the-top metal with it. Too often I find metal covers just come out swinging for the fences right out of the gate and it can be jarring and garish. Your restraint elevates this cover. Absolute fire.
I had those concerns too, a lot of metal cover artists really miss the point of what makes the tracks good in the first place. This man really understood the assignment and did the original justice.
This song hits me the hardest. Memories of my late dad who used do play DKC2 with me when I was a kid. I'm actually cryin' like crazy right now. Thank you so much for this video, Jules, from the bottom of my heart.
Just hearing the first few seconds, I was filled up with unexplainable nostalgia. And in just those few seconds, it's one of my favorite covers you've done. Incredible
Possibly my favorite song from my favorite video game of all time, and it's being covered by one of my favorite RUclips video game music guys. Is it mah birthday? This is awesome!
Checkpoint. Your original video of covering this song inspired me to make my own cover, and I love that you made a new one showcasing your progression. Well written and masterfully played my friend.
Checkpoint 10/24. All things end, and they are always sad. One day, all things will be made new, and that will be the happiest moment. In the meantime, I will miss you dearly.
Checkpoint: I first heard this cover shortly after you left this mortal plane. One year and nearing two Christmases and I still miss you. Until the day we see each other again in eternity.
I do not want to start a drama in the comments, but I'll just say that more than a couple rockets have been flying over my house these past three weeks (If you know, you know)@@daltonbruce2053
The build up and not over the top solo to keep it true to the atmospheric nature of this song made this cover so good! All the little things to make it unique were just perfect and kept it classy like its original! GG Jules !
I never knew I wanted "Stickerbrush Symphony" played by Jules Conroy until I have heard "Stickerbrush Symphony" played by Jules Conroy. You. Are. Awesome. Keep on rocking!
not only does this hit the same marks that the original theme hits, it goes above and beyond and absolutely annihilates the marks. Once again, Jules fucking crushes it!
It has been years since you covered this originally. Great to see just how far you've come. This is outstanding. I still, to this day, say DKC2 had the greatest videogame soundtrack. The sheer amount of emotion David Wise was able to get out of the 16-bit systems he was working with are still unmatched. Once again, well done Jules.
I've been following you for years and I always found the way you compose video game music very beautiful. I'm from Mexico and believe me, there are many people here who love what you do.
How the hell did I miss THIS? This is should have been a headliner recommendation, and instead I find it over a year later on a whim. Better late than never. Been with ya since the DKC2 Medley was new, my parasocial friend. About damn time you did a cover of this! And just like DKC2, you gave this all the love that it deserved! Just gonna save this video in my downloads folder now.
My arms are completely full of goosebumps and the weather isn't cold, my friend. As a person who religiously listens to your DK2 medley on repeat, this is such a TREAT!
There is songs that i like, songs that make me chill the skin, and there is an ultra rare songs that makes me cry. This is one of them. Thank you FamilyJules!
I love how the squeal echoes at 1:39 and again at 3:46. 5-string bass and 7-string guitar, sweep picking...the rest of my day is gonna be great. Thank you, Family Jules.
If this song doesn't convince people that video game music is the best kind of music then I don't know what will... Amazing arrangement! You truly lived up to the great legacy of the song!
I've been a Metalhead for 15 years. I've been practicing electric guitar for 6 years. My favorite band is Archspire. I love the SSBB version of this song. So nostalgic and your cover enhances everything. Metal enhances everything imo 🤘
Oof, probably my favorite song of the entire SNES library, which is a huge statement, given the countless amazing soundtracks it had. Jules, you're a KING for covering this. 🎵💜🎵
I remember seeing you live at Palladium Worcester with Thunderforge and I just never put 2 and 2 together that "holy shit that's the dude who makes the sick Mega Man X covers". This is so sick dude. Love it. Keep up the amazing work!
Heck yeah. Wasn't expecting that one. Never played much of DK myself, but I was definitely more than exposed to the amazing soundtrack it has to offer. And this is an astounding rendition of it. Welcome to the metal version of the internet checkpoint.
DK country 2 brings me back so many memories... I remember playing it with my mom, doing a stock each. Even my grandmother played from time to time. Dont cry because its over, smile bc it happened :) thanks for uploading one of my fav songs from video games.
Your dkc2 medley was beyond amazing and it brought me so so so much happiness back in the day 😅❤ this new full cover is so good, I can see the effort and time and care you still put into your covers
Low time rn. I needed this. Reminds me of my Mom who passed 2 years ago. This song, game and a lot of your covers have a place close to my hearts. Great work here Jules. Thanks for making it!
You know what this world needs? A cover or even a collaboration of the Captain Falcon theme from F-Zero GX, by FamilyJules, and anyone else tough enough to take a Falcon Punch. There's a gajillion bangers in the OST of the entire franchise, and plenty of room to show it off with a bunch of features. I think this Stickerbrush Symphony cover is proof enough that FamilyJules can handle faithfulness to source, and make solid references/enhancements. This entire listen was an emotional journey, and you used the metal genre to extract as much as possible out of that.
I remember really listening to this song for the first time in your donkey kong country 2 medley, and it always was my favorite part. Today I gotta say, you did this one justice by making a full-on cover Keep rocking Jules !
You've been putting out non-stop bangers recently. This top 20 video game songs of all time series is already amazing, and I know it's only going to get better. Please keep up the amazing work!
This gave me the greatest memories of the DKC2 Medley back in 2014 when i was enjoying a good cup of chocolate milk and playing some Club Penguin, times just went flying since then.
Checkpoint [2023/10/25] Really struggling to keep up with college and work, feels like my ADHD is getting worse over time as i keep forgetting more and more, but i think i'll be able to get through it. Life's looking up, i'm becoming more social, got a stable income, the love of my life is moving across an ocean to live with me and i'm getting married to her soon. If i can make it, so can you.

Checkpoint: 10/24/2024
For years I thought the only person who could make a good metal cover of Stickerbush was GaMetal.
Today I learned otherwise.
Same.
Damn it's a time traveler
Today is 10/31/2024. Time to check in?
I appreciate you letting it build before going over-the-top metal with it. Too often I find metal covers just come out swinging for the fences right out of the gate and it can be jarring and garish. Your restraint elevates this cover. Absolute fire.
SPOILERS OMG! hahaha i can't wait for 2 more minutes!
Yeah, it also helps that the original version of the song had a similar buildup
foreplay is important
I agree. Out of all the renditions I've heard of this soundtrack this one by far is one of the best
I had those concerns too, a lot of metal cover artists really miss the point of what makes the tracks good in the first place. This man really understood the assignment and did the original justice.
"OW!"
~ Diddy/Dixie Kong
I remember this way too much😂
Holy shit. He did it. He really did it.
You've reached the next internet checkpoint
1:38 This is why knowing how to pick squeal matters. That moment is priceless.
Internet checkpoint start?
Feeling good today. Lazy morning. got some work done. talked with parents. good day.
The "checkpoint" people are here.
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY, WEEK, MY FUCKING YEAR
This song hits me the hardest. Memories of my late dad who used do play DKC2 with me when I was a kid.
I'm actually cryin' like crazy right now. Thank you so much for this video, Jules, from the bottom of my heart.
I'm sorry for your loss. Having a parent that loves to spend time with their kid gaming is one of the best gifts a parent can give hands down.
Makes me think of when my brother and I played together when we were little. Such better times.
God bless
The power of music helps keep those memories alive, and so long as they live on so do those who have passed on.
That's powerful my friend.
Surely, music can take us back.
I do remember how I felt, what I smelled.
The Elite DK Nation will use this as our national anthem going forward
Just hearing the first few seconds, I was filled up with unexplainable nostalgia. And in just those few seconds, it's one of my favorite covers you've done. Incredible
Achievement Unlocked: Childhood Retroactively Enhanced
Heh...Retro...
Possibly my favorite song from my favorite video game of all time, and it's being covered by one of my favorite RUclips video game music guys.
Is it mah birthday? This is awesome!
Bruh seeing this video drop was like hearing bramble blast in smash bros brawl for the first time
Checkpoint : Just signed the 2nd year lease on my home and finished paying off my car.
No matter how many times i hear this song, it just never gets old. Fantastic remix!
Checkpoint. Your original video of covering this song inspired me to make my own cover, and I love that you made a new one showcasing your progression. Well written and masterfully played my friend.
Jules out here retroactively making our childhood cooler 😎
Checkpoint 10/24. All things end, and they are always sad. One day, all things will be made new, and that will be the happiest moment. In the meantime, I will miss you dearly.
There isn't a single "Donkey Kong Country" cover that you've played that's ever disappointed me! Keep up the good work, Jules!
I have no nostalgia for this piece, but this is an incredible performance and arrangement. No surprise, coming from you.
One of the best soindtracks for some of the most infuriating levels in that game
I had intended to come here to chastise the added R in stickerbush but honestly the cover is just a fucking banger as usual Jules
Ayyy it was fixed. OVERALL W
3:03 you cannot just sneak in the Phil Collins drums in here and think I won't notice it
Absolute memories..And one of my absolute favorites! The DKC 2 soundtrack was never a miss with it's vibes. This is a masterpiece.
never in a thousands years did I imagine hearing a metal cover of stickerbrush symphony of all things
It's Stickerbush without the extra R. It's what the bramble plant is in Bramble Scramble
You never seem to lose the essence of the original tracks while embellishing. Thank you for sharing your incredible work, Brava!
One of my absolute favorite video game songs of all time, to my favorite game of all time.
Well fucking done my dude.
Checkpoint: I first heard this cover shortly after you left this mortal plane. One year and nearing two Christmases and I still miss you. Until the day we see each other again in eternity.
Ah, the best song from the best SNES game ever created. The slow build was entrancing and the payoff was epic. Gave me goosebumps! Incredible job!
10,000 years I've waited
Checkpoint. This is still one of the greatest tracks in gaming and you have absolutely nailed it.
This might be the greatest video game song there is, most people never got far enough into dkc2 to enjoy this masterpiece
いまだにこんな素晴らしいカヴァーが投稿されるんだから
ホントとげとげタルめいろは名曲だなあ
This song is the only thing that can put me to sleep for the past three weeks. I can't be more thankful for you doing a cover to this song!😊🤩😊
You might wanna go get that checked out
I do not want to start a drama in the comments, but I'll just say that more than a couple rockets have been flying over my house these past three weeks (If you know, you know)@@daltonbruce2053
Stickerbrush symphony or forest interlude for me, if im ever trying to sleep in a car or something and i need headphones to drown out a sound 😴
I've been using stickerbrush symphony to sleep too lol
Love when I get to travel back through childhood memories DKC2 was my favorite SNES game thank you for this
The build up and not over the top solo to keep it true to the atmospheric nature of this song made this cover so good! All the little things to make it unique were just perfect and kept it classy like its original! GG Jules !

Stickerbush is by far the best soundtrack of all games from that era, what a masterpiece

-- GAME SAVED --

Bro u made me cry man how dare you! 😂 That was beautiful man
There is songs that i like, songs that make me chill the skin, and there is an ultra rare songs that makes me cry. This is one of them. Thank you FamilyJules!
I love how the squeal echoes at 1:39 and again at 3:46. 5-string bass and 7-string guitar, sweep picking...the rest of my day is gonna be great. Thank you, Family Jules.
wow i love this vibe. I feel like this would be the version used for a DKC2 anime fight scene or Opening!
Wow.... That made an already amazing song even more amazing. Surprised you pulled that off!
Those tapping arpeggios at the beginning are GODLY!
You top a masterpiece! Stickerbush Simphony is my favorite videogame OST of all time, and this metal cover is far beyond amazing!
No joke, this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.
All the feels
chills. literal chills.
If this song doesn't convince people that video game music is the best kind of music then I don't know what will...
Amazing arrangement! You truly lived up to the great legacy of the song!
0:41, I cried
2:43 was so unexpected but so VERY welcome. You did an incredible job with this one Jules. Excellent.
Donkey Kong Land 2 was one of my childhood games and this cover does a great justice
Respect the OG & still slayed that metal cover 🤘😎 2:24 it was getting seriously more metal & I'm here for it
YEEEEEES I was hoping for palm muting to kick in during 2:09! Love that crunchy Guitar, it fits PERFECT.
I remember hearing this at magfest and it being one of my favorites from the set.
I've been a Metalhead for 15 years. I've been practicing electric guitar for 6 years. My favorite band is Archspire. I love the SSBB version of this song. So nostalgic and your cover enhances everything. Metal enhances everything imo 🤘
Oof, probably my favorite song of the entire SNES library, which is a huge statement, given the countless amazing soundtracks it had. Jules, you're a KING for covering this. 🎵💜🎵
this song is the reason I picked up music glad it got represented, we have reached the checkpoint
I remember seeing you live at Palladium Worcester with Thunderforge and I just never put 2 and 2 together that "holy shit that's the dude who makes the sick Mega Man X covers". This is so sick dude. Love it. Keep up the amazing work!
Heck yeah. Wasn't expecting that one. Never played much of DK myself, but I was definitely more than exposed to the amazing soundtrack it has to offer. And this is an astounding rendition of it.
Welcome to the metal version of the internet checkpoint.
To my opinion, this is one of the best covers you have ever made, it's simple beatiful
oh man... couldnt have come at a better time!
DK country 2 brings me back so many memories... I remember playing it with my mom, doing a stock each. Even my grandmother played from time to time. Dont cry because its over, smile bc it happened :) thanks for uploading one of my fav songs from video games.
Your dkc2 medley was beyond amazing and it brought me so so so much happiness back in the day 😅❤ this new full cover is so good, I can see the effort and time and care you still put into your covers
The atmosphere, maaaaaan!
I am just glad you spelled the song's name correctly 😎
I was also quite surprised
remember, people: it's stickerbush symphony from diddy's kong quest, NOT stickerbrush symphony from diddy kong's quest
OMG OMG YOU COVERED THIS
i feel like you’ve done a cover of this song before but loving the sleeve tat jules🤌🏽❤️
Low time rn. I needed this. Reminds me of my Mom who passed 2 years ago. This song, game and a lot of your covers have a place close to my hearts. Great work here Jules. Thanks for making it!
This theme turns your Super Nintendo to Super Zentendo.
Yaaaaas it's back sticker bush symphony
Literally one of the best things I've ever heard as it takes me back so far to when I first played the game. Thank you for this.
Donkey Kong country 2 is the best 2d game ever made. Great Music!
It's kind of fun to see you doing a duelling lead type deal with the leads this time around!
You know what this world needs? A cover or even a collaboration of the Captain Falcon theme from F-Zero GX, by FamilyJules, and anyone else tough enough to take a Falcon Punch. There's a gajillion bangers in the OST of the entire franchise, and plenty of room to show it off with a bunch of features.

It was 2014, wasn't it? Unless it was a reupload. Great cover btw!
Checkpoint [2023/10/25]

If i can make it, so can you.
After that epic performance, I bet you could raise the bar of gang plank galleon. Awesome stuff!
