I have been on big videogame music remix bend for the past week or so (no idea why). I've been feeding the addiction at
overclocked
the minibosses
the neskimos
and I'm currently awaiting my copy of the black mages to come in.

I was wondering if anyone else feels this stuff? I swear, these remixes/covers are the best thing I've heard in a long time.

One thing I like about rap is when two of them fight each other. It's funny to see video game "cover" "scene" "bands" do so too!

lobbing insults from the comfort of their own web sites~ they should take the extra step and add lyrics too their "covers" and have dis battles.

you talking about this? I was actually pretty pissed when I read this. the minibosses are the INNOVATORS of the NES coverband. they did it first, and as far as I'm concerned they do it the best.

I don't think there is any real need for "beef" especially in the videogame cover band scene.

Honestly Man, I was totally into this stuff. Started out with a huge MIDI collection courtesy of The VideoGame Music Archives, but found Overclocked a few months ago... Like, last summer. It's great stuff. Like my childhood repackaged and brought to me with metalic paint!

Been a fan of game remixes for 3 years now, which is about the time Oc remix started to get a fanbase.

I miss vgmix though. Hope it'll be back soon.

Yes I was partly refering to that.

(I can understand being pissed at that by the way).

If they're the first band that plays only NES songs, or the first band that plays only video game songs to have a web site, well I don't really want to research that but I'll give them that that may be a first, I dont' know, but as for being innovators I don't believe they are. Covering other people's songs is in it self not innovative, covering other people's music has been around for thousands of years, and covering video game music at least sense the 80s. There have been dozens and dozens of bands and individuals that have played music from video games, from garages to major label acts. I've thought about forming a band and playing only game music during a performance, but now that it's so clearly been done already I'm less interested. I'm sure thousands of other people have thought the same idea at different times outside of those who tried it out.
(Remember it's my opinion of some band that plays video game music, not a personal attack on people with different opinions, anyone's free to agree or disagree.

I agree. Keep games clean don't sink into rappy territory. Did anyone notice there are some game designers in somewhat recent interviews who have gotten a little "dis"y.

Huh? Please elaborate further about this 'dis' business Gen.

Anyway, if I had a lot of spare time, I would try and produce beats from KOF music samples. It's funny how the rap/hip hop musicians have been pretty good about getting samples from a lot of different places, but they haven't taken any music from Japanese games (AFAIK). The day they do, and they get a good rapper on those beats, is the day that... well, it will be a good day.

I remember one where a fighting game designer spoke of the competing company's fighting game saying it sucked or something like that. One of those two games was DOA I think.
I heard about some designer who was criticising some Square Soft game, among other things he said people are only buying it becaue there friends are.
There are some more but that's all a remember right now. Some of them were a little bit "dis"y.

the producer of the dead or alive games (the head of tecmo's team ninja), forget his name... said in an interview "tekken 4 is a piece of shit." exact quote. no lie. that pissed me off too.

okay, I retract my statement about the minibosses being the first, that was rather rash, but I still don't think the NESkimos had any right to bash them like that.

EDIT: me fail english? that's unpossible!

Thanks for the links by the way. I don't think I've seen some of those bands before. Overclocked is usually interesting too. :)
