Not usually my kind of music, but the band played exceptionally. It was super fun. Videos to come later…

UPDATE: Video!

As a fan of rock, I had to see if it was for real, and it is.

Prepare to be surprised.

  • Super Mario Bros. – NES: Main Theme. Need I say anything.
  • M.C. Kids – NES: The thing that’s really cool about this game is how cleverly they -engineered- the music, along with the creativity that went into making the music fit the game and sound really memorable. My favorite here can be heard in level 4 of Ronald’s Clubhouse, or on track 6 in the NSF file from the game.
  • Megaman 3 – NES: The whole game has awesome f***ing music, but Magnet Man in particular is great.
  • Dr. Mario – NES: Fever. Catchy Tune
  • Final Fantasy 7 – PS1/PC: Gold Saucer Music

They said it was too much like the original, the production was bad, and that we should get a real drummer. All I can say is:

  1. Did they not hear the guitar solo that takes up half the song?
  2. There are plenty of songs on ocremix.org with worse production
  3. Half of the songs on ocremix.org use sampled drums and electronic kits.

Everyone I have had listen to the song loves it, including a guy who
plays in a band professionally. The ocremix.org people are stupid.
