Face in the wind, we're riding the storm We'll stay our course whatever will come Wandering souls in the sea of the damned Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm \m/
oh really Cagedand Enraged if that's so~ how is he and the Krimlings in Smash bros 4 as enemies and trophies and how is K. Rool in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (2007), DK: Jungle Climber (2007), DK: King of Swing (2005) and Mario Super Sluggers (2008), even though Rare was bought in 2002? because, as i read here: "The trademarks of the characters from the games that Rare made for Nintendo consoles, such as Conker of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Banjo of the Banjo-Kazooie series, were retained by Rare, whereas intellectual properties created by Nintendo, such as Donkey Kong and Star Fox, were retained by Nintendo." so yes, Nintendo owns ALL THE KONGS AND KRIMLINGS, INCLUDING K. ROOL HIMSELF!
some think because the creators of those games, Retro Studios, don't want to compare themselves to Rare. but again, K. Rool and his minions are owned by Nintendo since all the characters Nintendo made with Rare belong to them. all the character Rare made themselves, Conker and Banjo, belong to microsoft.
This needs a lot more than 70k views. Even if Donkey Kong is one of the less popular Nintendo Heros, the King K Rool Battle Song was one of my favorites for ages and you have remastered it into an excellent piece. Bravo sir. Again I gotta get the word out on this. Spectacular Job
You perform the greatest game covers in existence- Accurate and clean. Superbly executed and doesn't strain from the song too much. Every instrument used seems to be used for no less than perfection. GREAT job my friend you've earned a sub!
This is one of the coolest covers I have ever heard. I love this a lot and it's funny because I was watching an AVGN episode and had heard the original playing and then I had come across this.
You're damn right he did, his acoustic guitar cover at the beginning sounded more like a mandolin though. But he REALLY kicked ass with his electric rock & roll cover that came along immediately after.
And now, just for the heck of it, here are some King K. Rool quotes from the cartoon: "Klump! Didn't I say no news, no calls! _No tyranny until tommorow?!_ " "You took a wrong turn the day you were born, you lunkhead piece of wasted brain mass!" "They think we are participating in the ceasefire, but instead, we're going to be sneaky." "Lets see. I'm cooking. There's the pot. MAYBE I WANTED IT IN THE POT!" "This is my finest hour!" "The PLAN plan, you hopeless, hot-rodding hairball is *_THIS!!!_* " _"Lookie here, lookie here, look what I got! Don't think I won't let little Diddy drop!"_ "All I wanted was a simple banana on a string, but oh no! Give me that before you hurt yourself!" "Listen, you little weirdo! Start jamming, or the next epic wave you catch, will be in the sewers of my dungeon!!" "Of course... knowledge is power, and knowledge comes from books. And if that device can transfer knowledge... KLUMP! I need that machine!" *_"WHY NOOOOOOOT?!!"_*
I just discovered you today because of this song, and have been listening to you non stop for an hour. Amazing talent. Thank you so much for wailing so hard.
Good tonal choices overall. The two different guitars on the doubled parts makes them occupy different enough frequency spectrums that you don't lose nuance. Excellent transcription to every instrument, and the classical at the beginning is priceless. A+
OBJECTION Some themes are meant to be emotional. And the fact that they are emotional are what make them special. Adding rock to a theme like that wouldn't necessarily make that better. But hey, that's just my opinion. And I respect yours.
best metal cover of this I've heard hands down. 9 out of 10 youtube guitar channels need to learn making a great sounding metal version of a song is more than just cranking the gain and speedpicking the melody as fast as you can.
surprised you don't have a million views on this after all these years man, i listen ito it everytime im in the mood like right now, makes my life feel epic lol
I wanna learn how to play this song on the button-row accordion, then I can do a video of myself playing the Gang-Plank Galleon theme on the all-authentic pirate chante organ with video footage of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong battling King K. Rool in the background, like you did here my good man.
We all know this is how we really heard it in our head as kids lol
accordion instead of guitar for the intro, but otherwise yes
Yeah I feel that
100% accurate
Dads/moms watching u play: I dont know whats going on, but kick his ass!
I'm a kid
I've wanted to hear a metal version of this since 1994..... you made the 20 year wait worth it.... bravo.
@@NotOsaka97 YAY =D
Smash bros has that kind. Well. A bit though.
😮
@@HyPhuyenTheSwordPrinceThis is so much better than the smash bros version.
I love that the cannonballs fall right when the big drum beats come in. This moment was Rare's pinnacle.
To help us with that point I used to yell "POSITIONS!" when my cousin and I were playing. Loved that game.
This game is epic
It really makes you think about the genius behind the original soundtrack and the musicians who wrote and composed it.
David Wise was in the zone when making the first two OSTs.
For real. That fade between acoustic and electric is just *chef's kiss*
This put a smile on my face and a ton of chills on my arms and legs.
C-Threep Music same here the nostalga is something else when i comes to DK
I never go to the final boss but for some reason this music is a relief to my soul :3
Broo!!not just a smile..I laugh 😂 of joy and cried inside ... nostalgia 😭
I used to just dodge him for awhile just to listen to this song
HAHAHA you're awesome that's hilarious.
John Nelson if you don't move at the moment you get in the place you could wait nearly 2 min without needing to get away
Only reasonable my friend
Same!
You can hear it while the game is paused
the most metal song to sail the seven seas! \w/
riyuma1990ri No, that is "Riding the Storm" by Running Wild!
Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm
\m/
riyuma1990ri mastodons "leviathan" album is the most brutal sea metal there is ;p themes straight from Moby dick and Norse mythology.
riyuma1990ri Bro your funny lmao "Arrr The most metal song to sail the 7 seas matey"!!!
Do you even alestorm?
KING K ROOL COMES ABOARD ON SMASH ULTIMATE
Omg yes
YEEEEEEEEEEES DUDE
Hell yeah
with this remix it's more like King K. Rool Comes aboard on Guilty Gear
The King is back
Still one of my favorite instrumentals ever in 2022!
2024 here
I like that it starts acoustic and progresses to metal.
Vote King K. Rool for Smash 4!
and they should add this guy cover in smash lol
crcoghill
he's owned by Rare unfortunately.
oh really Cagedand Enraged if that's so~ how is he and the Krimlings in Smash bros 4 as enemies and trophies and how is K. Rool in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (2007), DK: Jungle Climber (2007), DK: King of Swing (2005) and Mario Super Sluggers (2008),
even though Rare was bought in 2002? because, as i read here:

so yes, Nintendo owns ALL THE KONGS AND KRIMLINGS, INCLUDING K. ROOL HIMSELF!
crcoghill
Huh. I wonder why they didn't put Kremlings in the new DKC games.
some think because the creators of those games, Retro Studios, don't want to compare themselves to Rare. but again, K. Rool and his minions are owned by Nintendo since all the characters Nintendo made with Rare belong to them. all the character Rare made themselves, Conker and Banjo, belong to microsoft.
I've seen plenty of metal remixes of Gangplank Galleon, and I think this one comes out on top.
Kick ass rendition. These games always had the best music. You definitely did this song justice with this.
Years listening to this song, I never get tired of it. Great job! :D
Put me in tears to hear it after 15 years to hear it again
I don’t know what’s more impressive. The song or the way you sit with the acoustic!
This needs a lot more than 70k views. Even if Donkey Kong is one of the less popular Nintendo Heros, the King K Rool Battle Song was one of my favorites for ages and you have remastered it into an excellent piece. Bravo sir. Again I gotta get the word out on this. Spectacular Job
Bruh DK is one of Nintendo's most popular franchises and has the best games. Tropical Freeze is a masterpiece.
7 years later it's got one million.
Gives you goosebumps
You perform the greatest game covers in existence- Accurate and clean. Superbly executed and doesn't strain from the song too much. Every instrument used seems to be used for no less than perfection. GREAT job my friend you've earned a sub!
Here after news King K. Rool is joining Smash Bros finally 😎
This is one of the coolest covers I have ever heard. I love this a lot and it's funny because I was watching an AVGN episode and had heard the original playing and then I had come across this.
I could listen to this for HOURS straight! One of the best SNES songs imo and you absolutely nailed it!
You made this epic song, even more awesome, instant sub
You're damn right he did, his acoustic guitar cover at the beginning sounded more like a mandolin though. But he REALLY kicked ass with his electric rock & roll cover that came along immediately after.
I can't get enough of this song
I can't get enough of this song either its just to good to forget
And now, just for the heck of it, here are some King K. Rool quotes from the cartoon:
"Klump! Didn't I say no news, no calls! _No tyranny until tommorow?!_ "
"You took a wrong turn the day you were born, you lunkhead piece of wasted brain mass!"
"They think we are participating in the ceasefire, but instead, we're going to be sneaky."

"Of course... knowledge is power, and knowledge comes from books. And if that device can transfer knowledge... KLUMP! I need that machine!"
*_"WHY NOOOOOOOT?!!"_*
The Nostalgia hit me like a brick.
After the K. Rool announcement for Smash Ultimate I've been hearing every single remix of Gangplank Galleon I can. *PURE HYPE*
I just discovered you today because of this song, and have been listening to you non stop for an hour. Amazing talent. Thank you so much for wailing so hard.
I'm compiling a playlist of inspiring music for my party when we're playing D&D - this is perfect. This cover is *glorious*.
Best cover ever
Because of this song and the fact that your user name is GuitarWanker90, you have a subscriber for life.
This!!
Rare would have been proud of that username, but especially Grant Kirkhope. XD
I’m just glad I was able to search this and find it this morning thanks brother never stop shredding 🤘
I wish k rool returns in the main line DK series. This theme infers that he can be quite the bad guy.
Good tonal choices overall. The two different guitars on the doubled parts makes them occupy different enough frequency spectrums that you don't lose nuance. Excellent transcription to every instrument, and the classical at the beginning is priceless. A+
Muito massa, nostálgico demais lembrar dos bons tempos do SNes...
DK Country sound track is Top Tier and this cover of one of the greatest songs from the game goes sooo hard. Unreal work 🔥🔥🔥
ALL HAIL THE KING !!!
Duuuuude, rock makes everything 10x better, this remix is too amazing X3!
OBJECTION
Some themes are meant to be emotional. And the fact that they are emotional are what make them special. Adding rock to a theme like that wouldn't necessarily make that better. But hey, that's just my opinion. And I respect yours.
Damian Kortus Ehheh~~ I really only meant themes that I haven't heard in so long (like this one X3) but I know what you mean and I agree X3~
Aight
X1.25 speed and it sounds metal af without losing anything good.
Holy crap and here i thought this song couldn't get any better. Awesome dude
best metal cover of this I've heard hands down.
9 out of 10 youtube guitar channels need to learn making a great sounding metal version of a song is more than just cranking the gain and speedpicking the melody as fast as you can.
Dude, that was FUCKING awesome!!! What a great way to time travel back to the 90's. I absolutely loved it. Nostalgia
There is a monstrous energy, the same vibe as Goku turns into SSJ
One of the best metal covers I've found!
surprised you don't have a million views on this after all these years man, i listen ito it everytime im in the mood like right now, makes my life feel epic lol
He might hit a million at the end of the year.
@@ineedbootlacestobeready1576 he's hit 1 million!
This is one of those melodies that I didn't know I knew every note of.
It's amazing the way you played this theme dude, for real, my best wishes for you
This sounds like cinders level in killer instinct at one point, nice!
I love that song, which part sounds like though
I just cry! All those moments came to live. Ur fucking awesome, thanks for bringing to live my childhood.
このときをずっと待っていた。
ライバル決戦
ファルコＶＳキングクルール
日本人いたぁ~ｗ
Been here since the beginning, always revisit
Still the best cover of this 💚
Just heard this for the first time, this is the coolest thing I’ve ever heard
That was bad-ass. I was digging the 7-string guitar. But it was missing something... it needed more cowbell.
It isn't cure, it's "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!".
swwwegamelover guess what? im on fire. and the only put it out.. is more cowbell, is that not what you meant
Well, I was correcting him.
The nostalgia level went through the roof. Great cover of this classic SNES-gem!
The version I heard in my head as a kid 🤍🎶
I was really amazed and mind-blown by the acoustic intro. Very well done, my friend!
Dude this was freaking amazing!
Sin palabras increhible la obra de este genio!!!!!
One of my favorite Snes games as well! I love the Cover GW. Please keep giving me an Eargasm!
The king is on board!
This is the most badass thing ive seen all week
"That has to be the vest pirate I've ever seen."
Great stuff as always. Still Flame Mammoth favourite.
This was like facing Evil Gumby in the pages of Heavy Metal!
8 years later and THIS is still the best cover of this song.. so amazing man
Que Fodasticooo ... nao tem como nao se arrepiar 🤘
this is one of these themes that slap like only few others in the history of video games OSTs.
いいにょ
Listened to another version and gave up hope until i heard yours, other guy made it sound emo and rushed it, you made it perfection
Rock on man, this is great.
SO BADASS!
I wanna learn how to play this song on the button-row accordion, then I can do a video of myself playing the Gang-Plank Galleon theme on the all-authentic pirate chante organ with video footage of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong battling King K. Rool in the background, like you did here my good man.
Do it, please!
I could watch this on repeat and wouldn't care! its badass as hell
O_O I am so glad I just found you on youtube
I agree!
You have become another hero of my childhood. FUCKING YES. META VIDEO GAMES.
This is sex to my ears.
this is even worse than OP's unoriginal "sex to ears" comment
porn music for Asexuals
I'll split your ear wide open bud.
BEST COMMENT
This takes me back to when I was five years old! Still gaming in 2018, and K. Rool was my first FINAL BOSS. Good times! Love your style!
Sick shit bruh.
This shit give me chills. Fuck yeah
The King has their place with greatest fighters in the super smash Bros.
Kick ass!!! This is more than a worthy successor to probably my favorite song in the franchise!
ok
Salió estupendamente genial 🤩👍
Good lord I keep going from song to song on your channel and it keeps getting more epic….
Muy buena adaptación, una versión muy bien trabajada. Iml
Oh man I remember countless hours playing this damn boss battle against king k tool was hella hard as a kid this song gets me hyped
That is one BIG toe, bro!
You win the best random comment award with this comment! Thanks for the laughs! :D
*****
lol my pleasure ;-D
Playing DKC2 as a kid, hearing this music was the epitome of "Shit going down" and this cover brought back memories but in a new light. Brilliant job!
King K Kools thought in this song:
00:01-00:24 (lets end this)
01:00-02:00(NOW IM MAD)
02:00-03:00(ITS NOT OVER YET!)
03:00-03:06(you......win)
Interesting
It was easy untill the captain started to hop this shit got real
damn this is bad ass lol. love it more than the original lol.
So do I
Not one second in, and I'm mashing the like button at the speed of light. This is glorious!
Damn K.Rool in Smash comments are all over his theme on YT! haha
Best Gang Plank Galleon remix EVER! I mean, WOW!
This so deserves a 10 min extension. It is that awesome!
hell yeah it is!
you mean 10 hour right?
Why did someone press thumbs down? It's awesome!
Because they accidently hit it instead of the like button.
This is SUCH A SATISFYING COVER!
Only true bad asses shred final boss theme's in bare feet!
It was hard af defeating the giant with the guitar 🫨
Nice footsies
After so many years - nice to hear stuff like that.
IT'S FUCKING GO TIME BABY!
WE IN SMASH!
