I thought this was marginally better than most of the other remixes of this same tune!

Don't lie, I know you said this was awesome. ( -w-)

The difference between dubstep and Wily stage 1 covers is that liking the latter gets you ostracized slightly less.

Unless you made the cover.

Thanks for the positive feedback, though!

Actual feedback: The riff that makes Wily Theme 1 what it is (da da-da-da da-da-da) doesn't have its rhythmic emphasis as good as in the original, and lots of things like to jump in and out as they please.

This...
But what I don't understand is that why people actually [b]LIKE[/b] this song?
I'm so sorry if I'm being negative now, but I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't like the original song... at all. But remixes, covers and stuff are always welcome, but like Patashu said, it has to be mindblowing...

Anyway... What I liked about this cover was the 0xy effects and the VRC6 Pulse 1 & 2 at frame 0C. If you ever decide to improve this song, [b]DO NOT[/b] remove these things!

Many people don't like it because it's held in way too high regard for what it is. Similar to how Ocarina of Time is a great game, but when your expectations are high, it can only barely satisfy expectations or disappoint.

However, it's a memorable song due to its strong melodies. Many people can likely hum it for you on request (granted that they know what it's named), and I covered the song from memory. From there on, it just rode on the 'best video game music ever' hype wave, it got into mainstream consciousness, and then people started making really lazy 16-frame NSF covers even though they know it's been done to death.

Another thing that contributes is that it's a lot of fun to cover, much to the dismay of nearly everyone ever. Because the quality of the composition does a lot of the 'heavy lifting' for you, you can focus on fun little things like arps, screwing about with the tempo, improvising around a bit and whatnot.

I hadn't originally planned on finishing this [i]because[/i] it'd been done a million times - it started out as some experimentation with triangle/noise percussion, but frames just kept being added until eventually it got finished.

tl;dr it's a good song but then youtube

I honestly think it's an excellent remix. My only complaint would be the noise channel. That sound starts annoying me at one point, not quite sure why lol. Like it stands out too much, I can't stop focusing on it. But as I said, this is an excellent remix!

How ironic, since I'm told the whole cover started out as a noise ride cymbal test. :p

LOL... I think it's just the fact that he inserted beats on Row 13 and such....It makes the whole thing sound off beat. The only way you can get away with that little trick is in speed 1 or 2. Other than that you can't fool me anymore. lol.

This is good, even if the song is over-used.
I also found something lying in a folder somewhere on my computer that may have never been done to this song.

I don't like this song.

However your cover is pretty good. It's just pretty damn hard to be impressed by anything related to it when it's been pounded inside and out of my skull for 10+ years nonstop. :V
