Davester2296 | Metal Gear 2 - Zanzibar Breeze [Cover By DAR] @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Many thanks goes out to all whom kept up their support for Metal Gear during the last couple of Cover Battlegrounds! Thanks to your votes, as well as Solid Snake's performance during CB, this channel finally has its very first Metal Gear cover! Also, shoutout to ren for nominating "Zanzibar Breeze"!
Man, it feels great coming back to do the guitar dance once again here on this covers channel. I've been gone for far too long, but I think this break was exactly what I needed. I'm feeling refreshed and hyped to churn out more jams!
Before I get into my usual details about this current cover, I just want to say that, no, I did not forget about Space Manbow... nor have I completely abandoned it. I don't know why, but for some reason, something just hasn't been meshing well. I DO plan to do it eventually, but for the time being, its time to play catch-up!
So originally, I never planned on having any synths in this cover. I had planned for the opening to be more orchestral, and have an almost kind of Middle-Eastern sound. However, unable to figure out how to properly achieve that, I started playing with SQ8L and some other synths. At this point, rather than really focusing on trying to be super faithful to the original, I just REALLY wanted to rock and jam out to my heart's content (regardless of accuracy)!
Also, this cover marks the first time I've ever used the "synth toms" from the Roland SoundCanvas General MIDI soundfont. I think with everything going on in this cover, the normal toms got overwhelmed most of the time. Since I had already went with this synth/rock sort of sound, I figured that the (usually) cheesy-sounding synth toms would be great for layering on top of the normal toms. I definitely hope to use these toms more often in my future works!
Oh also, a bit of a disclaimer, the Strat wasn't used for the actual audio recording. I decided to bust out the Strat again since I think it makes differentiating the parts in the video a bit easier. Plus, its more eye-candy for the video too!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! Sorry to have kept you all waiting! ~DAR
