The Minibosses are garbage. See: Jangli Jaggas, Metroid Metal.

I like their music, but the guys themselves are drunken fucks with no respect for anyone. Last time they played at MAGfest they got the police involved and at MAGfest 4 they're on 'hotel arrest' as soon as they start drinking. They've also never changed their lineup in about 4 years. They also (as you said) think 'remixes are overrated' and will tell this to anyone who will listen, but mostly to people who create remixes. Without remixes every NES band would be, uh, them. Which is to say, largely talentless with a ridiculous amount of practice.

yeah, epitome, jesus, it's ok to look up a word in a dictionary you know?

and metroid metal are my favourite so far. I have been intending to record the shadow of the beast soundtrack in metal versions, inspired by them.

I saw a band called the Power Ups. Haven't listened to them on record but there was this great nostalgic/feelgood vibe in the club. So yeah, you should never miss a chance to see nintendo bands live.

Has anyone else listened to Temp Sound Solutions? They have some great original songs with an 8 bit metal feel.

I like 'em, but they could definitely be 50 times better. Get a real metal band to play the music from Castlevania without any mistakes and I'd be in heaven.

That Megaman 2 track is insane, anyone who doesnt get a boner while rocking out to that rack is a wimpie bisexual freakshow.

thebiggameover · #21

wow, what the fuck?

MLE: please tell me why they are assholes. seam like good dudes if you ask me. even drank with them a few times...

Ninjavenom: ska? what the shit are you talking about?

Chojin: i think that was just one guy (axl), and he isnt even in the bosses. he was just some ass from the interweb....

There was a track i heard a while ago with some very obnoxious trumpet in it. To be fair, though, i listened to all three of the mp3s, and it just made me want to listen to the originals. The songs weren't the least bit interesting. If they put some kind of twist instead of playing the songs note-for-note i might be a bit more inclined to care.
