I'm not sure how many of you guys here follow a little video game music site known as OverClocked ReMix, but today they released a new album called Heroes vs. Villians. It's an album featuring opposing video game character themes rearranged into popular genres, and one such lucky pair they picked was none other than Guybrush and LeChuck!!

Here's a link to Guybrush's theme done as... well, metal.

No, you aren't hearing things. That's "A Pirate I Was Meant To Be" being yelled by a pirate crew as rock guitars attempt to drown them. Kind of makes Guybrush seem more bad ass, huh?

Here's LeChuck's theme done as Jazz Funk.

I like the trombone. It makes LeChuck's theme sound goofier. The sound makes me think of Human LeChuck trying to be the hero of the day and how incapable he is of doing so. Makes me kind of want to see a blooper reel of sorts of his various attempts to be heroic in order to impress Eliane.

If you enjoyed these two mixes, make sure you check out the rest of the album. Outside of these two, there are 9 other pairs of heroes and villains, such as Simon Belmont vs. Dracula, MegaMan vs. Dr. Willy, and Axel vs. Mr. X.

Enjoy!

    Amazing remix! Love it! Though I prefer the LeChuck remix over the Main Theme's remix ...
    LeChuck's theme reminds me of the neverhood's soundtrack ... :)
    Don't miss it if you like Jazz!

    I don't like the lryics in the metal version but the music would be awesome in MI5...without the lyrics...far far far away from the lyrics...far away.

    The lyrics is just the chours from "A Pirate I Was Meant To Be." Are you saying you don't like that song either?:p

    I know it's from CMI. Just horrible , horrible lyrics for a metal version of any song...

    To Guybrush's: Oh God! You killed it! DX

    To LeChuck's: Oh God! You matched Michael Land's awesomeness! XD

    I just listened to the first song atm, and it just blew my mind. Nice touch on the chorus of the pirate song in the third game.

    Yeah, I think the first one is better, to be honest, solely for the fact that it offers something different. The jazzy LeChuck theme is not particularly original and might just as well have been straight from one of the games.

    At least the metal version is somewhat original.

    You should hear that community's version of the Mario theme as if it was done for The Godfather. Or the Link vs. Ganon gangster rap battle.
