about

The Gyromite video, AVGN episode one hundred! Six months later, James sent me an email saying "For my latest video, I used a few tunes from old Nintendo NES games, do you want to replace them with your own stuff? I'd need it pretty soon". My first thought was cool... until I saw the list that he sent me:

0:17 - 2:09 - Super Metroid
1:14 - 2:09 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit
3:51 - 4:14 - Metroid theme
4:23 - 4:40 - Gyromite
4:42 - 5:30 - Blaster Master level 1
7:38 - 8:07 - Battletoads
12:11 - 12:37 - Blaster Master level 2
18:09 - 18:47 - Castlevania 2 Ending

It's not a few tunes... it's 8 tracks! That's practically an album!!! Needed to be done in two weeks!

So I emailed my buddy Mike, who is the singer/guitarist/songwriter in the band Toehider, and who also happens to be the most amazing and talented guy on the planet. My email consisted of forwarding on James' and me saying "HELLLLP!"!!

So we divided up the work between us, Mike wanted to do the opening tune and the Roger Rabbit one, and he figured he might as well do the last one, and Battletoads seemed like fun. The rest were up to me.

So over the next two weeks we madly wrote and recorded all 8 tracks. About a week in I figured we might as well release all of this stuff on the internet because it's starting to sound pretty good!

This tune is used when the AVGN start putting the Gyro's onto the R.O.B. at 3:51.

I was going for a kind of grandiose theme for this one. After all, you're putting together your own robot!
