Imagine an old-school Mega Man game that had a bad ending in which Dr. Willy finally takes over the world, with Mega Man and Dr. Light looking at a desolate city in the horizon while the credits roll and this plays
Why is everyone so mad at this rendition? Are the commenters old people who don't know how MIDIs work.

No....we're old people who purchased the original and played it at deafening volumes and who know every lyric and sound. Old people who clicked on it to hear the original album they were familiar with and got garbage instead. To distort an original version of a song is sinful. It also comes up whenever you type "original", although it isn't.
Andrea Ritchie lmao if you have the CD go play it. Most people want free music and honestly purchasing the album is always worth listening to higher quality than what YouTube provides.
Andrea Ritchie this is where you're wrong. You are very narrow minded. How many "original" songs were covered and sometimes provided better results? An example: "Hurt" by Trent Reznor, covered by Johnny Cash.
@Andrea Ritchie It's supposed to sound like an 80's video game, grandma. People do these things on the internet, you know. Also blame Fripp for not letting the original be posted almost anywhere
It was turned into the form of a song for the Red album, which came at the end of the 70s era (Fripp immediately ended the band after that release), so they never got a chance to perform it at the time. Some 70s-era songs were performed later, such as Red, Fracture, and Larks Tongue, but most were not.
...Until this year. I heard it live just a couple days ago. Was amazing.
There are actually moments of this I seriously love. the lower pitched, sustained notes feel a bit awkward, but this isn't as bad in 8 bit as I thought it would be.
+Rob Field 8-bit dont means "Nintendo Game", it isnt so difficult, it ihe bits that the game uses, and the music its like that... 8-bits are the colours that the game uses. you can find 16 bits, 32, 64, etc... dont think that you are a genius... and long live to progresive and sinphonyc rock! :D
nooooooooooooooo!!!!! que GARCHAS es esto?? porque no dejan que escuchemos la version ORIGINAL del disco?? y de paso se meten los derechos de autor en el mejor aujerito que encuentren
Es que esa es la idea.La gente suele hacer estas cosas en Internet.
A mi me parece curioso, ni me encanta ni tampoco lo contrario. Y si acaso echa la culpa a Fripp por no permitir subir la original a YT.
Ah, no le vi esa otra intención jajaja Imaginad, entro dispuesto a escuchar ese temazo y me encuentro con esa rareza. Acabo de mirar el titular y no vi lo de los 8 bits 😁😁
I'm sorry if I offend the person who put this together, but being a person who has listened to the album "Red" for many years, purchased it when it was new & knows practically every sound on it......well, I found this very difficult to listen to. I consider this to have been Bastardized. To say the very least.
this is a wonderful rendition of a great song.
