Mega Man 2 - Metal Man (Neon X remix)

Remix of Metal Man theme from Mega Man 2 released on Christmas Eve 1988 for Nintendo (NES) I really felt like doing something from an old classic Mega Man game. The choice landed on Metal Man’s theme from Mega Man 2! The original is a real banger indeed! So what was I thinking during the creation of this one, well... I thought: “something funky, something bangy, something ambient, something beautiful, something cool, combined with some of that nostalgia and memories“. Can’t go wrong. But something did go wrong for sure, after I finished the transcription of the original parts everything went blank. My imagination and ideas were totally gone. Lucky me, it only lasted for a day, but that’s way too long for me since I’ve got so little time doing this. Oh man, I wish one day were like 28 hours instead of 24, would be so amazing to have more time for this. Something new I learned doing this remix: I will not listen to the song to be remixed for several hours before writing it. I think my ideas got more narrow because of that, not making enough room for improvisation and taking a step or two outside the box. The hardest part of this song: definitely the bass. I didn’t have any problems but it was the hardest part for sure. I could go in so many directions and got stuck several times writing bass lines that was the exact same as in other remixes of mine. I hope you dig the beats I created here, and that you’re reliving some sweet memories of playing this game. This is the 2nd or 3rd most played Mega Man game for me, after Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 3. How much did you play this? Or are you one of them who didn’t get the opportunity to play this? Take care folks! /Neon X Metal Man artwork made by darkeyez07: #MegaMan2 #MetalMan #Remix
