The Minibosses - Classic NES Rock!
OK, so apparently I’m a little late to this party. For several years now it seems that classic NES themes have been remade into totally awesome rock songs by my new favorite band, the Minibosses. Thanks to commentor “Jerk” for pointing us to this life-changing site - I know I’ll never be the same.
On their site, they sell a few CDs but clearly state that they are cool with mp3 sharing. So for the past 24 hours I’ve been reliving all my favorite NES games in my mind. If you search their forums (or even google them) you are bound to find lots of download mirrors. So get to it - these guys ROCK!
Wow. I’ve seen all the various Mario theme renditions (I think), but nothing can touch Minibosses take on Mega Man 2. Unless it’s Michael Bolton doing “When a man loves a woman.”
Quick “mario theme” search on CH yeilds:

[…] You might remeber back to a post a while back about a band called the Minibosses. After this post my life was changed. Then I wasted a couple hours seeking out other classic video game music. One place I found which most people know about is OverClocked Remix which has a bunch of games I have never played, not really what I was looking for. So I continued my search. Then I stumbled across the tetris song, with mad thrashing guitars and I was like w00t I have found what I have been looking for: the band PowerGlove. The song is free to download here: PowerGlove-Tetris. You can also listen to 3 more songs on their myspace page. Support them if you like them! […]
