I've been a video game themed metal guitarist for too long without having covered this. Hope you enjoy it! I've got (Ernie) BALLS OF STEEL! Tabs for this one are available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon. Thanks for the support!

I am stoked. This is one of the hottest covers of Grabbag I have ever heard, and you even played the synth solo on guitar - a tough-as-nails thing to do! Congratulations, good sir, on an absolutely ripping Grabbag cover.

Welp, somebody link LGR to this.

Duke Nukem: "Let's Rock" Jules: *"Okay sure"*

0:42 You did the thing that almost everyone skips when they cover this. (even the Megadeth version skips this) Much respect. Also, waiting for LGR's comment/reaction.

Actually if you want to listen to it twice as hard, it's better to be out of it.

Nobody steals our chicks...and lives!

This and Megadeth's version are the two most METAL game covers I've heard. Freaking amazing. *Come GET some!* 🤘

You just hit me in the face with nostalgia with this one jules! Freaking awesome cover!

this is KTIT, playin the breast tunes in town

This is absolutely, no debate to be had, the pinnacle of Grabbag. Nobody can possibly top the energy, the power, the raw badass force of this song. You win, Jules, and when Duke is inevitably made again, you deserve to be the musician for the OST

LETS ROCK!!!

1:18 - The solo hits even harder. What such great flavor to add to a remix.

This is absolutely *THE BEST* metal version of Grabbag I have ever heard. I swear I've heard this a few years ago. But you've just recently created it. I guess you're just so damn good you transcend time.

Wasn't expecting this out of nowhere; fantastic surprise! Love Grabbag and Duke Nukem.

One of the first songs I learned when started playing guitar, love it 🤘😋🤘

I love it when an artist does his own thing....it just makes everything else all that much better! Great Job

Props for using the version you did, best rendition of it I've seen

Fantastic as usual, Jules. Keep it up, we love your work!

GROOVY. This is one of the best covers I'd heard over the years. Well done, man!

You always come through, Jules! Aaaamazing as usual!

One of my all time favs...great version dude, love it!

This is the cover I've been waiting over two decades to hear

Sooooo happy to hear covers of the original Grabbag and not yet another variation of Megadeth's cover! :) Great work! Especially on the synth solo!

Hi FJ ! Finally, that intro song has the cover it deserves. You made it sound damn right : total respect for this and all your previous work over the years. Keep up the good work !

Thank you for covering this, I enjoy variety in covers over ten covers from the same game in a row, so this is great. c:

This has got to be one of my new favorite covers of the song, and if Lee Jackson himself praised it, you know you done good.

In my honest opinion, this is the best cover I've heard yet of Grabbag. And I love Megadeth's version. I literally said "Holy shit!!" Out loud while listening to this. Congrats and if we ever get another decent nukem game, THIS should be the version of the them they use, man!

Man, Grabbag has always been one of my favorite video game tunes! Such an exciting piece! I'm sure you've done Lee Jackson proud with your rendition! Also, can I just say you've been really outdoing yourself here lately! I've always loved your covers, but lately man, you've been taking it to the next level! Keep kicking ass!!

Thank you for keeping the keyboard parts. This cover is fantastic!

The best Duke on the guitar, what i find in KZread! Bravo, maestro!!!

This is absolutely amazing! Well done.

Amazing!!

This is my new favourite version of the song, Megadeth's cover takes 2nd place now. Such an epic, badass song.

The megadeath cover is good, but I’m not sure why people give it so much credit. It’s literally missing the melody/moment that completes the grabbag theme (1:03 in Jules’ video here)

Easily the best cover of this song by far. You actually include the best parts of the original rather than omit them.

100 percent. Stoked about this cover. I've been waiting since the game came out to find someone to stick basically to the original midi version but talented enough to do the synth part everyone skips. Absolutely love it!

I'm pretty sure after tons of Megadeth covers, that made Lee Jackson very happy.

this is the best version Duke nukem theme. i keep coming back to your version. it is perfect

Bro this was awesome!! Got some serious talent there!

Wonderful Grabbag cover! The absence of game sound effects and Duke's voice makes it even better! Too many others don't get it, but you do!

This is seriously awesome, love it!

Your new guitar looks absolutely amazing. And great playing as usual!

Woo! Been waitin on this one for a WHILE!

>didn't film it in a strip club 9/10

I love it. That sounds so great.

Best cover of the song on the tube!

Excellent cover man!

Shit that was amazing bro. I don't even consider it a cover, it's a complete arrangement, and a very good one at that. I really enjoyed the different concepts you applied in this.

A worthy tribute to one of the most kick-ass tracks out there!

The best thing to ever come out of that whole game series.

This took me way back, well done my guy 🤟

WTF have you only got 551K subs. that's not right surely? my fave game of all time and your cover just became my ringtone. absolutely insane.

I think I recommend this back in high school in 2011 or something lmao I’m so happy you did it!!!!

Fuck yeah, this is the music we want! :D Amazing performance dude! :D

There are very few people that I follow on KZread. And you, Sir, stand out amongst them for making such amazing covers!

Awesome! Nice cover dude

Dude, about time! Fuck yes! 🤘🏻

I always loved this game. And this song is a such classic that never will be forgotten!

Damn your tone and playing are tight!

This is an amazing cover, damn. It follows the original composing nearly to the letter, and anything he did that was for "creative flair" sounded totally natural with the original track's theme. If there's ever another Duke Nukem game, this dude needs hired.

You sir, clearly know your stuff. We bow to you in respect!

This riffed off my head and shredded down my neck.

That E-1 Apocalypse is sick!

Damn, this looking good!!!

Only a few cover the full version of Grabbag... You're one of the few

This is awesome!

I'm surprised not a lot of people have covered this one, expecially from the Metal crowd. Never played Dkue Nukem but I know this theme is a banger. Glad to see you do it justice!

Vertexguy was one of the guys who got me into a lot of metal covers. Both of your renditions are awesome!

Damn. This just solidified my idea to buy a Schecter E-1. That thing is gorgeous.

That Schecter E1 Apocalypse looks killer!!

one of a bunch of themes ive listened to , this one is one of the best (applause)

I cant believe I'm just seeing this now! Praise You!

Damn, you’re good.

Always loved the Duke Nukem theme song

WOW! This is just so awesome! 😁

I've been listening to versions of this since the original shareware game came out, first with AdLib sound, then with my General MIDI keyboard wired up (yes I'm that old), and you, sir... rock. Duke would approve, this is an amazing cover.

Love that you can play every part of the song including the fast synth part that even megadeath skipped [which I was extremely disappointed about when it came out] Best cover of grabbag I've ever heard. You Should do the entire soundtrack and I'm sure a lot of people would use it as their main soundtrack along with the high res pack mod, I know I would.

Instantly added to favorite videos

Another awesome piece you've made here =3

Best cover ever! 💥

Epic cover. Would be awesome to hear in a movie version or a new game!

amazing!

F****ng AWESOME!

he definitvely owns the crowd! big time! great cover! Increeible playing! Master Time here! COME GET SOME

I always find your covers to be amazing and this one is no different but it would be very difficult if I was forced to choose between this and Daniel Tidwell's cover. Both are epic in their own right!

Awesome song

Goddamn you beast! I cannot appreciate enough how you included every single note, especially those in 0:42!

The ultimate version!

I've heard a lot of Grabbag covers... But I think this is actually the best one I've heard so far! Don't think I've ever found anyone that's played the solo part before.

Not even DNF did the proper solo. It just does some cock rock solo that's so anemic it has to come up for air halfway through.

Great job dude! Stay cool! On a guitar video, I got a guitar ad.

Got goosebumps.
