...I wouldn't say so. Most video game music is closer to techno than it ever will be to metal. Unless you were being sarcastic, and I can't tell...
First listen to these:
MEGAMAN THEME |
BOSS MUSIC 1 |
BOSS MUSIC 2Now listen to this:
GAME OVER - CATACLYSMIC CLASHNow do the same, listen to these:
ZELDA THEME |
DUNGEON MUSICNow listen to this:
GAME OVER - HYRULE'S ANGELVideo game music is metal.
EDIT: Cut and paste that fucking link. We need to upgrade this software, that shit is lame.
I can kind of see what you're saying...it sounds kind of like a metal song with techno distortion. That actually makes sense, but that's still closer to techno than it is to metal, at least in my opinion.
Also, there are definitely some games that have metal soundtracks. But most don't.
And also, that Pink Floyd cover by Shadows Fall is insane.
Dude, listen to DragonForce's "Black Fire." You'll hear part of the Double Dragon theme song in there. Listen to Cellador and DragonForce, both of those bands are heavily influenced by NES music. Go to this site;
http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/ and listen to Contra, Mega Man, Castlevania, Double Dragon, Beatle Juice, FF, or almost anything.
I never said that metal isn't influened by video game music. There's a definite influence there--no doubt about it. The point I was making is that most video game music isn't really metal...but whatever, it's not really important. Video game music owns.
On a separate note: I just heard Dream Theater's cover of Achilles Last Stand today, and it owns! They really do a great job of making it their own rather than just copying Led Zeppelin.
