Something different for this week. Recently I have been pretty busy, so when I sit down to play I am just having some fun. Thought it would be cool to revisit one of my earlier covers and see if I could improve on it. Personally, I think I succeeded. Hope you enjoy! Like my music and want to support what I do?

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls (Cover by Shane Steward)
zhlédnutí 298Před 2 měsíci
Been meaning to do this song for a long time. I was going to have a buddy of mine play the solo, but decided to challenge and push myself a bit. Took a few liabilities, but overall, very happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy this awesome Megadeth tune Like my music and want to support what I do? Below are some of the ways you can!

Work in progress - Tornado of Souls
zhlédnutí 59Před 2 měsíci
This has been on my list to cover for a long time. I always held back because of how involved it is (compared to some of Megadeth's other stuff), and decided I'd give it a shot. Originally, I was going to have a buddy play the solo, but I realized that I haven't actually pushed myself to learn outside of my style in some time, and decided it was time to expand my horizons and push myself harder...
Godzilla Theme - Original Arrangement
zhlédnutí 744Před 3 měsíci
So I have really been in love with this theme, and decided I wanted to try my hand at an arrangement of it of my own. By no means perfect and could benefit with some automation on the levels etc. but I quite enjoyed it. Hope you do too! Like my music and want to support what I do? Below are some of the ways you can!

Was asked to do this cover this morning, so spent a few hours writing out the Orchestration (not perfect mind you. Little difficult to hear some spots in the mix, so I wrote my own Violin in spots).

Town Theme - Shane Steward Original (Demo)

Hey All, Been slow to upload, but still working on some stuff. Figured I'd upload this fun little thing I wrote while hungover today. Haven't used Super Audio Kart since I bought it, so thought I'd write a little town theme. Hope you enjoy! Like my music and want to support what I do? Below are some of the ways you can!

Nice cover !
Thank you! I had fun with it.
I was making that grimace face you make when you hear good metal like the whole time
haha I will take it!
Sounds really great, especially the riffs IMO!
Thanks buddy! Definitely enjoyed writing this one and kind of slowly iterating on it. Need to finish up the demo, but likely when I am closer to releasing something new.
This is heavy as hell and the solo was sick, I'll listen to this while I workout
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed. Had a lot of fun writing it and can't wait to start working full tilt on the next full album.
This is really cool! It sounds just about as different from the original as the Gary Jules version, but in the complete opposite direction haha.
Thanks buddy. Definitely a song that is tough to carve your own niche into, but I think I found the balance somewhat here
She is so sweet ❤
This cover is really solid, you clearly put a lot of work into this. Great job!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that
🤘
Really cool take on this modern classic! I like the mixture of metal and and orchestral elements, your arrangement sounds very majestic! Great work buddy
Thanks man! Wanted to try something different and more or less happy with how it turned out.
Don’t mention it
Eggman: 10/10
I enjoyed this so much.
Delighted to hear it! Was fun to try something new.
Wait, you write stories too?!?!?! You're a creative beast!!
haha thank you. I write a lot, but usually just keep everything to myself as I scrutinize it as much as music. Only difference is that scrapping a song or doing a rewrite is waaayy quicker and less defeating lol
Well that was a smidge grim.
Favorite kind of story. (side note, Godzilla Minus One is on Netflix now)
Dude this is so cool! Definitely different, but awesome! Really enjoy the voice over narration. Definitely do more stuff like this (if you want to lol)
haha will definitely try more in the future. Lot of different ideas on the way. Glad you enjoy
Definitely something different from the norm, but it was pretty cool! An interesting story, and it sounds like you have a knack for narrating. Sounds pretty professional to me!
Haha thanks bud. Had a lot of fun with it.
Well THIS was a nice change of pace :)
Haha Hopefully a good one?
@@ShaneSteward Just finished it now, VERY good stuff :) Needs more sound effects and ambience to really hit home, but damn dude, you're a vivid storyteller :) 🎉 Ever need an extra voice actor, let me know! :)
@@AstraVex Thanks man! I'll keep that in mind. This story I just did everything myself for the ease, but I've got some that are more than one handers.
This sound pretty good, it just kinda caught me off guard when you started singing cuz it's vastly different, my only critique is to try and snarl a bit more so that you sound more pissed😂
Delighted you enjoyed! Definitely a different sound to how Mustaine originally did it (tried his nasally way and it did not work). Appreciate the feedback!
@@ShaneSteward no problem man, I can't deny this is one of the best cover of this song -and it's a very difficult one to pull off!
you should fire your vocalist. hire someone who can sing and will be fine.
I mean.. the whole thing is me lol. Can't please everyone, but thanks for checking it out.
the main riff is a bit off , but the song is carried by the great vocals and the the best solo cover i have ever heard of this song
Glad you enjoyed. I had initially just palm muted the main riff like in the original, but then switched it to what I have it as because I thought it made it a bit heavier. Appreciate the feedback
Great cover mate!
Thanks man!
Smashed it! :D And you made you solo your own! Always a nice touch! Great job! 👍
Thanks buddy. Wanted to keep most of the elements, but towards the end, had to throw a bit of me on it lol
Totally decent all around.
haha high praise indeed
Sounds great man! Really like your take on the vocals and the solo was awesome!
Thanks buddy! Definitely was not able to get the nasally Mustaine voice, but I compromised on it.
This sounds awesome but I'm just here for the solo :) Jk haha! This is super well done man, great job! How intimidating was it to tackle one of Marty's most famous solo in Megadeth? You nailed it!
haha very. Originally I was just going to have badhairline do it, as he had mentioned he would like to, but I really wanted to challenge myself and force myself out of my comfort zone. Glad you enjoyed though!
You got the perfect amount of Dave in the vocals without sounding like an annoying gremlin
haha thanks buddy. Was trying to find that balance
The King of the monsters' true theme
Glad you enjoyed!
I think this is pretty great original areangement, it's cool to hear these type of things, i rly like the choir and how it's own version of the theme without turning itself into something completly diferent and unrecongnisable But my main criticism would be to give some space on the notes of the repeating low brass on the start doing the "tan tan taaaaaaan" thing It would help to make the notes and the phrasing clearer, i had a bit of difficulty to understand it was actually doing "tan tan taaan" instead of just being one holding note for a bit until i realised it a bit later on the music I think that making the two first notes just a short stacato note and then have the third note a stacato note layered with the sustained note you ended up using would have given it the best result and sound All that aside, i rly enjoyed it, keep it up
Hey, thanks so much for the feedback and glad you enjoyed. Definitely some changes I would make if I sat with it a bit longer (and definitely not a bad idea regarding the brass. Went with the held note to somewhat mimic a siren, but not a bad idea). Did this over my lunch break at work yesterday/today, so it turned out not too bad for an hour or so of work.
@@ShaneSteward no problem dude
Damn dude! This is really cool and unexpected! So many filthy riffs and tasty solos! I might be biased because it's metal with lots of organ and strings but I think you should definitely a whole album like this (doesn't have to be instrumental but that could be cool!)
Delighted you enjoyed. I have a few like this that I have been working on, on the side for an instrumental album. But I keep getting distracted with a bunch of other projects lol. I'll get back around to all these ideas soon though.
Sounds super tight dude! I think I remember the old one and it was good, but you've improved a lot since then! The orchestral/string elements you've been adding to your rock/metal covers really elevate them a lot and they sound great.
Ya, took me awhile to find the right balance, but I think I'm getting there. Every song is a little experiment lol. Glad you enjoyed!
This is awesome! I'll echo what Annalisa said about it sounding like it could be in a cool new indie RPG haha. Super Audio Cart is something I've always wanted to try using, but can't justify the money for it most of the time haha. Holding out that I can get 1st place at DoD some time for it 😈I'm curious what games' samples you ended up using? I don't recognize them off the bat
So Super Audio Cart just allows you to pick the system sounds you want to emulate rather than a specific game, but I think for this one I used mostly snes or genisis (can't remember off the top of my head). I will say, they usually have pretty good deals during the year, so I'd keep an eye out if you are interested. Think I got this one fairly cheap. (Also appreciate the kind words :) )
Awesome work buddy, everything with dragons in it goes well with shredding, and you nailed it! Is the "In The Hall Of The Mountain king-lick" also in the original or did you add it yourself? It was really fitting tbh!
haha I added that in because I thought it really sold the idea of fighting a dragon. Glad you enjoyed man. Having fun trying out some new stuff
Huge production mate!
Tried to hit the right balance
Couldn't stop headbanging to this! And the production sounds incredible, well done mate
haha I am glad to hear it! Been trying to steadily improve on the production side.
playing this in the background on my next deployment
Delighted to hear that! Hope it is a successful one!
Helldivers: The Show
I'd watch that
hell yeah
What's wrong with YT algorithm? This deserves so much more
I appreciate that! Just the way it goes sometimes
Sounds cool !
Thanks man! I really appreciate that. Been enjoying writing some new/different stuff
Huge sound mate!
Thanks dude! Enjoying a break to write some stuff that is a bit different
Awesome work mate, always enjoy your originals!
Thanks man! Really appreciate that.
Very different. Felt like 2 different songs going on, but best of all are those solos. sizzlin.
Haha was a lot of fun to write. Trying to gauge if I want to do an instrumental album
I like a lot that one, it's super catchy, will come back to listen again
Glad you enjoyed Duhem!
Most excellent!
Thanks so much!
Can never be too much Chrono Trigger!
The only correct answer!
Timeless classic, awesome job Shane!
Thanks man! Appreciate you checking it out.
One of my favorite battle themes! Awesome cover!
Thanks man! Think it is a bit of an improvement from the one I did years ago.
Hype!
This sounds great Shane, well done! Never heard your first version but I'm sure this sounds much better lol
Yah...it was ok, but I think playing wise and...well everything else wise I'm a bit better than I was. Happy to revisit it.
This is a great rendition Shane
Thanks man!
Ah, a "Rebirth", I see.... 😜
haha right?
