This is genuinely better than the original and any other remix I’ve ever heard

How and why did they go so hard on soundtrack for a game in the 90s? Peak nostalgia.

Good to see other KI fans here. I remember all those days of throwing controllers against the walls and floor out of frustration from losing to the CPUs lol. It felt good to finally finish Eyedol at the end. Thanks for making this video, Mr. James! For a musician who loves KI.... This is a real treat.

Im 40 and spent entire summers playing KI in arcades and on the SNES . This is heaven.

Anyone who remembers the original game in the arcade can tell you that whatever speakers they installed in the games arcade booth was crazy compared to other game units. The speakers were LOUD, sounded clear, and had some serious bass to them. You couldn’t walk by the machine without hearing the music blasting and the announcer saying. ‘Killllerrrr instinctttt”

This is how the instinct should been . You sir are an audio alchemist. Aaaand your alchemy is strong🧪⚗️🍵🪔🧉🌿❤️⚙️

KI was a pinnacle achievement in gaming. Nicely done.

I watched this quite a few times now just had to leave a comment to tell you how amazing this is. For us 40+ year olds growing up in high school in the early 90s playing this game at the arcades is mega nostalgia for us. KI was THE arcade game that dominated the scene back then. Hearing the theme music and the “ultraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa combooooooo” and “c-c-combo breakerrrr” was just mesmerizing. Your take on this theme was amazing, I love every note and touch you played. It accents everything perfectly, and then the very end riffs - got us all in the feels my friend. That character select music is so brutal, this is a 10/10 my friend. Bravo!

Goosebumps from where the lead kicks in.

What a beast of a solo....Jesus.

Have KI2 in a KI1 original cabinet, ebay purchase. Had the guy that runs the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade ( Colorado ) come over and give it a tune up. New buttons, switches, waved a wand over the screen to get the colors right, and its good as new. So nostaligic for me, love this music thank you.

classic 90s vibes. no better time to be born imo

It's just so good. What a homage to killer Instinct and the original composer. I'm saying it.... flawless. That was spectacular.

This takes me back to being a kid playing gold on n64 and listening to the killer cuts cd. Still have my dad's 64 but sadly lost KI gold along with all his 64 games in a robbery. Killer Instinct, starfox, war zone and ocarina of time were my favorites along with forsaken 64

I listen to this track 4 days a week. There isnt a single workout i do without Andy J in my ears. Melody meets sensational shred. ❤

2 years later and this makes me wanna fucking mosh pIt. Bad ass cover, man. KILLER

It always amazes me how well you both write and play! Loved this one!

This guy is insane. Nicely played😀

After listening this track a lot of times now I can't imagine any other versions including original at 1st places. Now to me this is original. This is how it should sound when I'm playing KI.

Dear Andy, this is my favourite guitar instrumental of all time! Thank you so much and congrats! The sound is just incredible, I can listen to it every day. The notes and shredding are just spot on. I can't believe the rapid movements of your fingers 🙂 Having short and not so agile fingers, I've bought an Ibanez Mikro , put a Dimarzio Tone Zone in it and use a Boss Katana amplifier. It's still hard to find a satisfying tone. Hammer ons and pull offs sound quite deaf. I know they are supposed to be played with some force but this seems impossible given the speed. It looks so easy and effortless when you see pros in action. And all notes seem to sing with the same volume 🤔 Greets from Belgium, Filip (50) a 5FDP fan 🙂

There's something about this that puts me at piece
