Fuckin' shit! These songs are the same song!!

Guns ‘N Roses - Patience
Mercury Rev - Car Wash Hair

Realized today that Ham Green by Beak> is just a darker Rumble.

No way I'm the first person to point this out but

Totally. I actually thought it was a sample

Wouldn't surprise me. Probably could have googled it.

Spoiler:

I feel like there are a number of songs that this sounds like, but the one that's really hitting me is:

And didn't Radiohead get sued for stealing "Creep" from The Hollies, too? I can't hear it, but something like that did happen.

Well dang. Didn't realize that was a thing in dispute. I guess I should read things that people read. But... validated? Good songs, both. I think the Lana album might actually be my favorite thing in 2017 other than the Marshall Stax album.

In general, I feel like most good music is just trying to be Castlevania, but this is pretty blatant:

Skip to 1:17

It can’t be

I felt for sure that I was onto something. But when I listen to them back to back, I'm not totally sure now.

If anybody listens to that Chain song and is like, "wait no! It was totally from THIS nes classic," please please please let me know.

There are still for sure some similarities at work tho:





Also, ftr, i'm acknowledging that both of these sound like literally every fucking one of these songs ever.

pps:  Grant DaNasty is one of my all time favorite NES characters and I once tried to convince my friend Grant to learn how to rap so that he could make that his stagename. He had much better things to do with his life, but I still resent him for not doing this.

Sorry, can't come up with anything. Humming it in different pitches I came up with the underground cavern in Castlevania 1 and the opening cutscene of Link's Awakening, and neither is really close.

Glad to see Grant is finding love somewhere. You don't hear much about the DaNasty family these days, and the poor guy wasn't even in the new cartoon.

Was always more of a Sypha fan, surprising no one.

oh shit

Well, kinda.

Damn... snake on metal. Well played runthrough gaming youtuber.

Original NES games had fucking AMAZING soundtracks, and though I've owned and played many of these games, I know that I'm forgetting a whole ton. During my recent bout of Megaman 3 I asked my musician and nintendo enthusiast brother to make an album of covers, but I'm not holding my breath.

What are your favorite nes soundtracks? Feel free to list here, works of sonic genius from the original NES (or other firstwave early millenial videogame shit for that matter...  like final fantasy VI or...  Ocarina of time probably doesn't count, but it was so good and it had song of storms).

I'll just toss out a few of my personal faves
Megaman 2 (and 3, though 3 suffers from not having the Woodman theme)
Ninja Gaiden
Tetris (obviously, but goes without saying really)
Ducktales
Castlevania 3 (and maybe 2)
Metriod
Techmo Bowl
Zelda 2 (I should've mentioned this when i was talking about underrated nes sequels)
Contra

And yeah. Sypha was fucking amazing. Castlevania III is love.

There's this music that plays in either Super Mario Brothers 3 or Super Mario World or some other Mario game (or it's actually not from a Mario game and that's what I'm, it's on a map screen or in a treasure hut (?) or on the main menu of the game, I don't know where and it's maddening because I can spend 20 minutes on YouTube just digging through YouTube to find it and suddenly it's like it never existed.

It regularly gets stuck in my head and every time it does I just end up running it through tons of other songs, old and new, and making these weird mashups that probably wouldn't work IRL (your brain can change the tempo and the key of any song without you even realizing it) but fit together perfectly in my imagination.

Nintendo's music was something I would often take for granted when I was younger, like it was basic or something, but they made some of the most enduring songs. Konami, Tecmo, and Capcom always had great soundtracks.

This is the jam right here:

This song has been one of my favorite pieces of music for years.

Spoiler:

Today I found out that like 80% of it was just sampled from this!

Spoiler:

Whoa, that Gigi Masin - Clouds somehow ended up on a playlist of mine from a few months ago (Spotify algorithm shit) and that melody is familiar as fuck to me now.
