[MaxFrost]

woo!! first review of a great mix!!

really don't got much to say other then kudos to Snappleman. I dl'ed this song with the KIC project, glad to see it up on OCR now

[Prophecy]

I don't usually care for guitar type mixes. But hey, what can I say? I really like this one. It is one of my favorite tracks from KiC.

[Protricity]

I love thrased metal. This song is very thrasing. Good job snapplefag on the thras-aspect of this thrasing song.

[suzumebachi]

looks like i weren't the only one liqour'd up last night. nice write-up dave.

this song is pretty cool. what with the guitars and the awesome 3 note solo in the middle (i'm just fuckin with ya snappleman). good guitar playing, excellent mastering and such, and such. you can download it now. i'm through.

i need to sober up a bit more before i do any more reviews

[Txai]

About the start I thought that Forest Remix. Later I perceived that it was the King K.Roll Theme.

in 01:49, a notable appears Arab instrument. It was a good moment. I did not wait an Arab instrument.

Very pleasant...

...To ears.

[Shhteve]

Very catchy beatline, for one thing. It got me bopping my head after a bit of listening. I vaguely remember the original tune, but it's coming back to me. Nice track. :wink:

[Mogrothir]

Always was my favorite of Kong in Concert, and I can say nothing wrong about it. It just rocks really hard, and for that, I dig it to no end. I can't analyze it because I'm stupid and inept, but I do present my kudos to the board.

[DJ Riott]

This Kong in Concert has really proved to be a worthy Music Project. This great (and one of the best) tracks from the project really does a great job of rockin out!

The review has very good points about the cleanliness of the song and its high amounts of energy. This is a great edtition to anyones music collection. Wonderful Work!

[Majin GeoDooD]

Now this is a guitar remix, unlike that cruddy Ken Song.

[kablammyman]

i like this mix. The guitars are well done. I dont think it could be done well without them (seeing how the original had them in a similare fashion)

[greenyoshieggz]

8) Awesome stuff by Snappleman. Another mix that couldn't have been achieved without raw talent. Excellent work! :wink:

[the_mayor]

8O this was definately one of the best tracks on kic.
all i can say is when can we expect another submision 8)

[Zenek]

My ersonal favorite remix, ever! keep up the excellent work! :D [/url]

[Luigi-waluigi]

awsome song. I love this song. the original is good. good job. :D

[Nintendonien]

A very well done remix it really gets in to the spirite of remixing as well as rock :D..........now where did that old gitar go????

[Navi]

This song needs more love.

[Krythan]

Yeah, this does need more love! The original song from DKC was great, but I gotta say that the remix is even better. 8)

[K.A.O.S]

wow this is great...

[Bummerdude]

I don´t know what´s the best with this remix. Is it the guitars that totally kicks ass doing solos non-stop during the whole mix, or is it the drums that´s one of the best I´ve ever heard? Decisions, decisions, and.........oh, yeah, decisions. Let´s just say they´re both equal.
Another good thing is that this mix almost never do the same thing twice, its always trying new things so that we don´t, no, CANNOT become bored. Those pauses at 1:32 were great dude! Those who likes the arts of Rock´n Roll better download this, it´s a blast.

For those who wonders why this mix have a piano intro, this remix is combined with Dhsu´s "Pirate Prelude" in the Kong Concert, so those who want the complete track better go there.

[Zekian]

This is exactly the kind of music that I love. Bravo.

[SilentShout]

The remix is pretty good. Kudos to SnappleMan.
Although Donkey Kong isnt one of my favorites, I'd have to say this is good. VERY good.

[Magnum_Thunder]

Shazaam. That's how this mix was made from scratch. Finally, a mixer that realizes that DKC was about the drums, and K.Rool was about the rock. The awsome guitar phrases throughout the mix was downright hard and the drums were non-stop. I only wish that there would have been a stronger or louder, something to catch the attention of the listener in the beginning so as to almost force them to listen to the whole thing. Otherwise, a rockin' mix that is a must for any person, no matter what your style of rock.

Final Grade: 9 out of 10

[Whitey]

thissssssss is one of the few songs that made my mouth hit the floor in amazment,i remember the orginal clear as a bell it was fav song, and this is brillaint and beyond.

the orginal was drums, andn guitars, u really hit it head on with full force - 10/10 hand down

[linkspast]

every boss needs a good rock remix like this,

major props to ya snappleman 9/10
my only complaint is it is to short.

[Psychotic Ninja]

This is my 2nd favorite track off of the Donkey Kong project. Hearing this song in guitar made my day, and man, I still listen to it a lot.

[ResEvil07]

I was able to hear this song out of the Kong in Concert album where it was combined with "Pirate Prelude" this version of the Gangplank Gallon boss music is incrdible with the heavy metal guitar and rocking drums. When hearing this with the Kong in Concert my only complaint was that the drums didn't sound right with the exit of the piano from the first song. But it is a very fast-paced and energetic song. Excellent work!

Wow. This is good; nice rhythm patterns. Rare (as I said in the BlueVision post) has a good concept of rhythms in their music, and yet again, another masterpiece remix of DKC.

[ArchangelMurphy]

Very very clean percussion. In a rock piece, I usually don't find myself drawn to the drums, but am instead drawn to the thickness of electric guitar chords, but this song draws me to the percussion like it did a few of the other people posting reviews about "Thrash the Plank," and that says something. I also think that the guitar parts were well done. Kudos.

[linkspast]

I am unable to play this song only once. every time it comes up I will play it at least twice... Amazing..

[AmazinJason]

The beginning definitely claims the best part of the mix. The authentic sounds of the drums really bring out the DK in me.
As always snappleman, phenomenal guitar playing.
The Kong family would be proud.

[youthboy]

combine 2 of my favorite things(rock music and dkc) and you get sheer madness! bravo, snappleman! i first heard this in a movie on newgrounds, thought it was awesome! then I came here to see if it was an OC remix, and it was!

[OA]

Really nice work from Dr. Snapple. Nice and clean with good drum sound and a cool arrangement. Nice surprise with the coolly effected clean lead tone, I wasn't expecting it, and it worked really well.

Good job dude, i'm impressed. :-)

[Sir_Downunder]

One my favorite tracks from my favorite games given rawk justice.

The drums at the start sold it for me. The arrangement was kicking and the production is top notch. I'll admit I've even played this while I fought King K. Rool in DKC, it's just that good.

Glory to the Snappleman! \m/

[Nutritious]

Snapple definitely pulls off the DKC feel with the initial toms to start things off. Pretty straight-forward quality metal - not my favorite genre (as I've posted before), but I can appreciate it. This is quality production and playing, though I think you can also tell that he's improved quite a bit since this remix. Specifically, I would've liked the leads to have a bit more power and edge behind them. Anyway, overall good stuff.

[42]

I really liked how the intro was semi-deceiving about the true nature of this track. It was all down low percussion and Wham-o, guitars.

I agree with previous sentiments that this is just straight up metal, and while I can't shake the feeling that this is a little generic and repetitive, I still like it.

In the end, it's not too bad, and I would still recommend checking it out.

[Crulex]

Impressive. The guitars did their job and let this piece flow. By that, I mean it was hard, and it was rocking, but it kept the good "final boss" feeling that the first meeting with King K. gave. Nice work, Snappleman.

[yosefu]

One my favorite songs from the album and the solo was just really impressive. overall this was great.

[WesternZypher]

Love the soaring, driving riffs in this one. :mrgreen:
