I put out a tweet the other day asking what song I should do with my new Schecter E-1 Apocalypse. Someone actually said this one, which was a song I had planned to do very soon anyway, so it was perfect! I've only played a little bit of Duke Nukem in the past, but it was enough to learn how iconic the main theme to this game is.

I very wrongly underestimated the composition though, it's a very dense song with tons of stuff going on so I thought it'd also be a good test for my new tones and mixing template to see just how thicc I can get. The last part has a three part guitar harmony with a counterline that's ALSO harmonized, all over synths and rhythm guitars and bass all doing different stuff! It got absolutely crazy, but I think Duke would approve.

It was also one of the hottest video shoots I've done in a while, that room gets VERY hot now that it's July! If you look closely maybe you can see the sweat dripping off my face! Hope you enjoy my take on this classic tune!

I've been a video game themed metal guitarist for too long without having covered this. Hope you enjoy it! I've got (Ernie) BALLS OF STEEL!

Tabs for this one are available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon. Thanks for the support!

I am stoked. This is one of the hottest covers of Grabbag I have ever heard, and you even played the synth solo on guitar - a tough-as-nails thing to do! Congratulations, good sir, on an absolutely ripping Grabbag cover.

This really makes me want to make those aliens pay for shooting up my ride.

There will NEVER be enough Grabbag covers. And this was a great one.

0:42 You did the thing that almost everyone skips when they cover this. (even the Megadeth version skips this) Much respect.

Also, waiting for LGR's comment/reaction.

He's got strings of steel.
*STEEL. STEEL.*

Duke Nukem: "Let's Rock"
Jules: *"Okay sure"*

This and Megadeth's version are the two most METAL game covers I've heard. Freaking amazing.
*Come GET some!* 🤘

1:18 - The solo hits even harder. What such great flavor to add to a remix.

"Go ahead mom, take away my Xbox. Nothing you can do to unfuck the Thanksgiving turkey." -Twitter Duke Nukem, probably.

This is absolutely, no debate to be had, the pinnacle of Grabbag. Nobody can possibly top the energy, the power, the raw badass force of this song. You win, Jules, and when Duke is inevitably made again, you deserve to be the musician for the OST

happy to hear covers of the original Grabbag and not yet another variation of Megadeth's cover! :) Great work! Especially on the synth solo!

BrandonBlume

In my honest opinion, this is the best cover I've heard yet of Grabbag. And I love Megadeth's version. I literally said "Holy shit!!" Out loud while listening to this. Congrats and if we ever get another decent nukem game, THIS should be the version of the them they use, man!
