One of my guilty pleasures back when MTV was actually playing music was watching reruns of little clay figures that looked like famous people dismembering each other for our entertainment. It was gruesome, hilarious, brutal, informative, heartwarming, and eloquent all at the same time. Not quite sure anything has come close to capturing this kind of raw tv bloodthirstiness as Celebrity Deathmatch did back then.

This is another one I've always wanted to cover and decided to knock it out right after the Castlevania 3 behemoth I finished a few weeks back. I chose the key of drop B because that's the key our band plays in and the nearest guitar that captured the heaviness of this song was my Spear Gladius, which happened to be in C# standard. Little known fact, we were endorsed by Spear guitars back in 2013-2014 and this is one of my favorite workhorse instruments I own.

Okay. Honorable mentions: Eric Perlmutter is the one responsible for this aggressive tune that fits perfectly with the mood of the show. His contribution has inspired me to make MY contribution. But for real i don't own the rights to this music and all copyrights belong to this dude. I am simply paying homage to this musical work in my own weird way. This "DERIVATIVE WORK" (look it up) is also covered under the current copyright laws and as long as I don't sell my work for money, I won't get a cease and desist letter from the copyright owners asking for their cut. Otherwise I gotta go pay for some licenses down at the ol' Harry Fox agency.

I do a mix of video game covers and popular songs. Here's a list of other stuff I've uploaded just to mix it up a little. And yes I'll do more song songs in the future. You should see my list of tunes I plan to cover. It's massive:

Give this video a 'LIKE' = Mills Lane (the referee for those who have never seen the show) will say his most coined phrase, "Let's get it on!"


'SUBSCRIBE' = They will finally bring this show out of retirement, give it a new face lift for the modern age, and we will all enjoy the grisly violence and laughter together. Just like the good ol' days.
