This was... EPIC. This guy has some SKILLZ. Would love to know how to play that... or at least play the basics on a guitar. Good job to the guitarist!

Reminds me of Dr Wily & The Robot Masters, awesome metal band from here in Ottawa that did 8-bit game themes.

This is my favorite Mega Man tune. Even if MM2 had the better all around soundtrack, that intro literally gives me chills.

(I once heard a remix that had the A section of the piece on acoustic guitar. That was wonderful)

Sometimes it takes someone with a badass guitar to make you realize how hard the Megaman theme rocks.

This is a universal truth.

He needs to get a full band behind it and put it on OCRemix or something.

seemed cool at first, but after listening to the butchered versions of most of the songs I lost interest and respect for them

It's also worthwhile to note that minibosses did a full megaman2 cover:

I love the Minibosses so hard. I lost my glasses getting hit in the face while drunkenly stage-diving during their Contra at a show in L.A. one time. It was totally awesome. They definitely do the best Mega Man 2 as well.

I recommend the Advantage as well. They're not as superhardrocking live (in fact they're totally boring live), but their albums are recorded as magical flawless perfection better than anything.

Now if he could just do the Wily Music from Mega Man 2 or the Zero final battle music from Megaman X2 we'd be in business. Somehow I don't think my acoustic guitar will cut it for this one.

to the guy who wanted to know if its an ibanez, no its not, its not a knock off either, its an ernie ball musicman john petrucci model

also this was alright but the guy needs to relax a bit, his playing was so rigid, looked like he was struggling a little to play

This guy was okay, and minibosses are overrated guys.

Powerglove FTW (http://www.myspace.com/vgmetal)

The Advantage FTW! (http://www.myspace.com/theadvantage1)

The OneUps (http://www.myspace.com/theoneups)

The Kode (http://www.myspace.com/thekodesecret)

Year 200x (http://www.myspace.com/year200x)

VertexGuy (http://www.youtube.com/user/vertexguy)

All of them are so amazing, yet Minibosses get mentioned everywhere, why?

On the Internet, the word "overrated" means popular. So what you are really says is,

"This guy was okay, and minibosses are popular guys."

LOL! I just checked Urban dictionary and the second definition matches what I was saying!



A word which recently has been used liberally as a way of discrediting something without having to give a proper justification, most often when someone finds they have a disliking for a popular phenomenon and is resentful of those who embrace it. Often used by anti-trendies.

(Something loved by many) is completely overrated.

So you proved that is what I meant by overrated by linking urban dictionary? Good job with that.

To counter, I actually did provide reasoning for why I think that minibosses are overrated, listen to all those other bands, then listen to the minibosses. Listen to each of them live as well, check out youtube for that. The Minibosses are very inaccurate, make mistakes much too often, don't add anything creative to the songs they cover, and cover only the most obvious titles to cover. The Advantage are incredibly accurate, and are a sort of college tradition band, where members come and go, and will continue to come and go, when all the NES games have at least one song covered from each. The Kode have background in music school, are legitimate players of their instruments trained in jazz, fusion, etc... and delve into virtuosity often within their versions of the music. The OneUps accurately interprete game music into Jazz very well. And Year 200x is all about heavy metal, and they are extremely accurate, fast, add to the music, creative, etc...

I didn't really want to waste time saying all that, but if I said that, would you have referenced your silly urban dictionary to prove a point?

The LAST thing this guy should do, or not do AT ALL is put this in that cesspool called OC Remix. The Signal to noise ratio on OC Remix is appalling. I downloaded their torrents so fat and I'm sorry to say this but 70% of the music was garbage, 20% was okay, 5% good, and 5% was DAP worthy.

Also, if you're an artist they force you to Add OC Remix to your song title. FUCK THAT.

Oc Remix is like YouTube. There are better way to do it, but people submit because it has the eyeballs/ears. There are much better sites than youtube (blip.tv) or OC Remix (jamendo). You just have to be willing to work harder to get an audience.

I say it's worth it.
