"…… Well, fuck. If it isn’t my undefeated rival. While YOU were cuddling with Moe, I have honed my fighting style, and I will be victorious against you, once and for all, hedgerat."

...holy.... fuck, man. I can definitively say that of all the remixes of Blue's Champion theme I've heard over these many years, this is by far my favorite. You capture the essence of the original AND make it metal as fuck without compromising either ideal the slightest bit. I'd... lost hope that it was possible. There have been excellent covers of it before, but this one... ...this is perfection, plain and simple.
Man i just found this channel, and i donno, i got bored of the traditional 8/16 bit guitar covers, but i feel like you brought some new shit to the table. Real good stuff, sub
You know what I especially love about your music? It's so true to the original! A lot of the times when you watch cover versions, there are parts of their songs where I can hardly tell what I'm listening to. This? A BOSS version of the already BOSS battle! Lovely.
damn this is def the best cover for this song ive heard. everyone else literally just replaces the instruments. you actually add ur own parts and flair to the song
You know hearing these songs one after made me just realize that motif of the Victory Road theme is re-used in Champion theme at the start!!! Brilliant cover Toxic!!!
Nothing will ever beat the sheer amount of hatred felt for a single fictional character than your rival in Gen I. This cover might have well just been called "rage incarnate - the song". That flourish intro to the song is literally just your protagonist screaming a battle cry.
I was literally JUST saying in a Discord server how much I wanna do a metal cover of the original Champion Battle theme. I am so glad I'm not alone in that thought. XD Great job, by the way! :D
I spent 1 hour looking for a good version and finally found gold, totally worth it. What a banger! Thanks a lot, this is awesome. Also welcome to my boss fight playlist.
The pony tail means this cover is a *hair* less metal than other covers, but in general this is heavy as fuck and I love it. Great work as always! The stop-start part is an especially good idea, and I love how it mixes with the battle theme.
That was ridicolously good! I especially loved the small little bits where the guitar sounds would play from one ear to the other, which really helped giving this cover a feeling of tons of things are going on.
Nostalgia just hit me like a truck, whoa. Great job with this cover, Jack! Also you look pretty good in a ponytail, looking forward to seeing you like this more often, lol.
normally me and my friend joke about what if we took a great video game song and made it shity by turning it into AN EPIC METAL REMIX!!! but once in a blue moon one of us will come across one that is actually good , you really do this music justice , finding the right sound to match the feeling of the songs while not adding in your own random solos that are not part of the original piece.....
Hello, dope cover as always im a big fan i rock this and many others on my guitar covers playlist often. Me and a group of friends are about to run a fighting game Elite four challenge and i would like to ask you if you are ok to let us feature those two tracks during the livestream i would personally love it. We are small streamers we wont make big money out of it but we can for sure credit you for this dope tune. Let me know if its fine for you.

Early 90s Pokemon Players: 8-bit Victory Road + Champion battle
How it felt in our hearts:
As a kid from the 90s this hit just as hard on the Game Boy. This is how we all remember it now!
Truly captures the spirit of the games. In that moment you felt like you were on top of the world. To be the best, like no one ever was.
This. Is. The. Dopest. Thing. On. The. Internet.
No doubt
Agreed 🤘
Still sure about that?
1:25 yeah
hell YEAH
i super love it too much i fainted
"We dreamed of creating the worlds strongest Pokemon...."
"...And we succeeded"
But it killed everyone and broke free..
...
"A lotta stuff happened....
And years later he found refuge within music, particularly METAL...."
@@christopherpoucher483 but theres one ONLY TRAINER CAN STOP IT BY HIS POKEMON
He dreamed of creating the world's best metal rendition.... and he succeeded
2023 checking in. At the gym, I use this song to beat my PRs. At least I try. Hypes me the frick up 💪
0:40 is one of the hardest grooves ive heard in awhile

OH GOD!
Man i just found this channel, and i donno, i got bored of the traditional 8/16 bit guitar covers, but i feel like you brought some new shit to the table. Real good stuff, sub
+ToxicxEternity Talented and fucking sexy? I'm mad jealous and slightly aroused. Lol. Awesome cover dude.
how long have you been playing for? i have 13 years experience and i still cant get the blue champioship theme. you're incredibly talented my friend
well you just melted mine off with this track.
1:57 I really love this take on this part right here
All of my YES!!! So awesome man!
*AHH* I FOUND YOU FINALLY
You two should collab in a stream once
Epic, Floyd Roses are so hard to tune. Props brother.
Aye!! I know you!!!
When did Pikachu change to a Rock/Metal type??
😂
You know what I especially love about your music? It's so true to the original! A lot of the times when you watch cover versions, there are parts of their songs where I can hardly tell what I'm listening to. This? A BOSS version of the already BOSS battle! Lovely.
This reminded me how awesome pokemon music actually is, probably one of my favorite videogame themes ever.
damn this is def the best cover for this song ive heard. everyone else literally just replaces the instruments. you actually add ur own parts and flair to the song
I keep coming back to this and you’re so damn amazing. Literally drew Red fanart listening to this lmao. Thank you!!
1:10 each time Gary said that, I"d say, we"ll see about that.
And after 5 minutes soft-reset
U mean Blue?
I always beat him on the first try. It helps to heal up.
The fact your rival is the final boss is the reason the OG pokemon games are my favourite.
Amazing cover Jack. Totally nailed it.
Hey MC whats up?
THIS IS TOTAL BADASS! I LOVE IT!
Absolutely love that you included both songs, always happy to hear a Pokey man cover from you bro
+SwigglesRP Thanks man! It feels like forever since I did one!
I'd be lying if I said i didn't put this on my wake up Playlist.
excellent work, sir. good arrangement, and the camera work is dope
2:10 you just captured that moment of the song so amazing! beautiful for the whole song too! childhood shredder man, you rock!
Bass drop at 2:40. Amazing production and mixing as well as skill.
Insanely good cover! The mesh between both tracks was incredible
This theme had to have been created with this cover in mind. Honestly, super awesome. Haven't been disappointed yet!
bad ass hope you still making these videos i listen to your aqautic ambience everyday lol
Goddamn dude, that just melted my face off. Production quality is top notch, as is your playing as usual.
The part at 2:50 is sick!
Hold up you know anyone named Ray
@@tvpooohappu5138 Yeah I do why?
@@michaelmac0 oh no
Holy crap this video deserves more likes. Incredible, nice job man. Love the angry Pikachu getting into it too (2:37)!
The layering @ 1:13 and 2:14 floor me every single time I watch this video.
How have I only just discovered this
Pikachu at 2:37 was doing the same as me in that moment hahaha
You know hearing these songs one after made me just realize that motif of the Victory Road theme is re-used in Champion theme at the start!!! Brilliant cover Toxic!!!
So glad this exists - earned a sub for sure
This is lit. I used to love just making time to listen to these tracks when I played.
I've never been as big of a fan of the vs Champion song, always liked the gym leader battle song, but this cover really brings it to life.
Damn it someone bring me my Arcanine and from this day forward this right here will be my boss theme music when challenged. Freaking love this !!!!!
never has victory sounded so good!
Truly a masterpiece, all instruments are pure perfection
Nothing will ever beat the sheer amount of hatred felt for a single fictional character than your rival in Gen I. This cover might have well just been called "rage incarnate - the song".
That flourish intro to the song is literally just your protagonist screaming a battle cry.
Omw home from work blasting this in my truck
you know what is essential for a remake, you capture the spirit of every song.
1:13 you know shit just got real at that point
Thank you so much for making this! You have no idea how pumped this gets me.
Much love man.
you are SO fucking good at this, KEEP IT UP!
2:09 I love this part
It sounds so good!
Listening to this song I can still remember getting pissed off at Sandslash's fuckin sand attack...
I want you to know I put this on repeat while fighting the elite 4 and champion in pokemon scarlet.
1:11 gave me chills, awesome job man!
I was literally JUST saying in a Discord server how much I wanna do a metal cover of the original Champion Battle theme. I am so glad I'm not alone in that thought. XD Great job, by the way! :D
Just used the move THRASH then METAL CLAW!!!!!
And We 've got confused...
WTF!!! :D:D:D
You are amazing bro... ;)
I spent 1 hour looking for a good version and finally found gold, totally worth it. What a banger! Thanks a lot, this is awesome. Also welcome to my boss fight playlist.
YOOOOOOOOO WHY IS YOUR MUSIC SOOOOOOOOO FREAKING ADDICTIVE IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!!! Love your tracks man keep it up.
The pony tail means this cover is a *hair* less metal than other covers, but in general this is heavy as fuck and I love it. Great work as always! The stop-start part is an especially good idea, and I love how it mixes with the battle theme.
This cover of fighting the champion really deserves 1 billion views
This is legend!!! 90's take me back!! You did an amazing job!! Keep it up!!
You cooked, Champ 🎉
That was ridicolously good! I especially loved the small little bits where the guitar sounds would play from one ear to the other, which really helped giving this cover a feeling of tons of things are going on.
This is by far the greatest cover in history
OMG you are just to good! You deserve my sub
A critical HIT! Super Effective!
1:15 pure eargasm
The music was so awesome That it healed my broken eardrums
Fuck yes
For me, this is the best song of champions of every games Pokémon. It's definitely THE best song to remember what is a champion xD
Tellement badass ! Je mets ce son dans mes oreilles quand j'affronte le maître de la ligue peu importe la version 😂
Added on my pokemon playlist. This theme is definitely in my top 5 from the kanto region.
Good lord, your arrangement is flawless.
I was listening to this OST the other day and thinking you would be PERFECT to cover this!! So glad you did because it's brilliant!
One of the best covers I've ever heard for this sound
Nostalgia just hit me like a truck, whoa. Great job with this cover, Jack!
Also you look pretty good in a ponytail, looking forward to seeing you like this more often, lol.
Ritte Did you try to use Strength on it?
@@manfromnantucket9544 FFS it took me way too long to get that joke
normally me and my friend joke about what if we took a great video game song and made it shity by turning it into AN EPIC METAL REMIX!!!
but once in a blue moon one of us will come across one that is actually good , you really do this music justice , finding the right sound to match the feeling of the songs while not adding in your own random solos that are not part of the original piece.....
ROCK ON MAN!! Fantastic job!! 🔥
Toxic Eternity used ass kicking... It's super effective!!!
the intro.. holy fuck
Nice work Toxic, loved the headbanging Pikachu LOL.
It was killer seeing you and Jules perform and meeting you at MAGFest! You always looks like you're having so much fun when you're playing :)
this gave me such a massive eargasm that I had a hangover from it.
TOP QUALITY WORK OUO
I'm digging the new camera angles!
your performance on Little V's Rashid Theme cover is awesome! You Rock! :))
This needs a millions views 💯
So gnarly! Proof that everything is better with metal. Keep on rocking dude!
I listen to this while walking to univeristy on exams days.
If I were a boss in some sort of videogame, this would be my theme
The mosh pit Pikachu was badass dude! Subscribed for more future badassery.
Jack with his hair pulled back, now that is something new :O
I'm still rocking out just as hard listening to this tho
Subbed! Wish I would've found this sooner, but at least RUclips Recommend brought me here.

I want to learn to play this so bad
That pikachu was just icing on the cake. Awesome cover. 👍
So much memories are awaken with this song.
Oh hell yes
Duuuuuude. Im a big fan! \m/ thanks!

the victory road theme sounds like you're going to fight the world's strongest pokemon trainers, which you are
This is sick af 🤘
My memories of these songs are always like this cover lol. Crushing.
AWESOME!!! You should make an epic metal cover of the soundtrack of battles in Johto Gym
You make that look effortless as breathing
Thank god for people like you who make my workday more enjoyable....
Oh, I also like the new camera angles!! Great job~
Dude!!!!! I always wondered how this would sound as metal cover!! Well done!!!
