  • So I heard that you guys like Wild Arms?
    I absolutely love this song among other themes from this game. I will definitely do more Wild Arms themes, since there seems to be lots of people who like the series. Being the intro to the first game, I thought it would be appropriate to start with this song!

      I will keep coming back to this every so often. I was surprised about this cover though. Went to heavy rock vibes towards the climax but lovingly went back to the subdued mood at the end. Absolutely love this take!

  • @thepokebw10

    What a fantastic rendition. If you're American, then this has beautifully come full circle. To know that this is a cover of a Japanese interpretation of an Italian/Spaghetti Western interpretation of the American Wild West just goes to show that music is the unifier of all cultures, no matter where we're from.

    This video is about 5 millions views short. I've seen many covers of this song and some suck, some capture the essence but this is the first to take the original and make it into something more. Great work and how it's flying under the youtube radar is beyond me.

      @megaman02468 8 лет назад +2

      +BoondockRoberts This comment is a tad late, but I suppose that the game was not really all that popular, at least in the U.S. I, personally, like the game, but I'm surprised it even has as many views as it does. I do agree that this is an absolutely amazing cover. It emulates the whistle sound much better than normal technique or most other instruments could.

    • @megaman02468
      @megaman02468 8 лет назад +1

      +megaman02468 I may be wrong about its popularity. I don't know anybody else in my area that's ever heard of the game though, and several of my friends find some awfully obscure games.

    I have been on a nostalgia trip over the past few days and have been listening to this song (the original version on a different channel) over and over while whistling along at work. I stumbled upon this rendition, and I have to say, the electric guitar portion 2/3 of the way in, where it takes prominence, is fantastic and really adds a lot of power to the song. I have been putting this version on more and more, whistling along where appropriate, then letting the electric guitar take over for that bit and just head banging along 😊. Awesome work dude, covering a song well from a cherished video game from my childhood. Salute 🫡.

    I know i commented a while ago on this video but i cannot get enough of this song . the wild hearts theme stuck deep in my heart the very first time i turned the game on back in 1996 i was 13 and since then being 34 now i have played through the game over 100 times and the song never gets old and never will its engraved into my soul for the rest of my life . thank you for amping up an already beautiful song .

    Sorely under-rated game, and probably one of the best I ever played for the PSX. The music, the story, the gameplay, the characters...it was all incredible, and your rendition left me with chills, my friend! Top notch!
    Ever thought about possibly covering Boomerang Flash's theme, or maybe Zed's?

    • @GuitarWanker90
      @GuitarWanker90  11 лет назад +8

      Thank you! Under-rated game indeed. Hopefully the series will get the attention it deserves at some point.
      Boomerang Flash and Zed's Theme are one of the great tracks from Wild Arms I would like to cover in the future!

    • @thaeros
      @thaeros 2 года назад

      well most of his good points came from his characters because each stories parts are based on them! cecilia made the "begining", jack is next and rudy made the ending, only 3 characters made that none was "useless" and it's one of the biggest strength of the first "wild arms"!

    You, Sir, have captured the essence of the opening more accurately than anyone since the creator. Very well done!

  • @tubey84
