Chrono Cross Opening Theme [METAL VERSION] (Time's Scar) 

What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time... But, for a certainty, back then, We loved so many, yet hated so much, We hurt others and were hurt ourselves... Yet even then we ran like the wind, Whilst our laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies... One of the best and most underrated RPGs of all time.

Possibly the greatest game song of all time masterfully metalized by the king of metal game covers. This made my day!

This song has always made my heart hurt in the most beautiful way. If you'd asked me five minutes ago if it would sound good when it FUCKING THRASHED, I would have called you an idiot. And yet, t'was I who was the idiot.

Beautiful cover, the clean tones at the beginning of this has gave me the biggest dose of goosebumps I could have ever experienced.

Just found this absolute gem here. Coincidentally, doing a playthrough of the game now...

Years ago when i was in HS a group called the radical dreamers came to my school and played a bunch of folky music, but they covered this and got me and my friends excited, it was the best cover i ever heard....until this, Thank you!

0:58 i literally got chills at the transition 😱 as usual, a masterpiece

Chrono Cross is a masterpiece!

my chills have morphed omg!!!! what a theme!!!! 🔥 🎶

This made me cry in a nostalgic way

This song will ALWAYS make me break down.

Jack covered Time’s Scar my life is complete 🤘

HOLY FUCK... THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD USE ON THE REMASTER

This would be a great outro track to the game in the credits!

I must have listened to a hundred different arrangements of this song, but this one tops them all. Great job!

This needs more views, your arrangements always rock AND maintain that musical integrity of the original. It's not just adding drums and a distorted guitar. Keep up the great work, man!!

Oh hell yeah. I love Chrono Cross's music, and Scars of Time/Time's Scar is one of the most badass opening songs I have ever listened to. As weird as Chrono Cross weird, songs like Time's Scar _really_ get you pumped up for the insane adventure you're about to take forth. So I'm getting pumped up for the upcoming Remaster next week! As someone who is super familiar with Time's Scar, at around the 2:40 mark, I was starting to get sad that the cover was about to end, since that's where the original song ends. You could imagine how happy I was that there was more remaining in the cover! This was incredibly well done! As someone else noted, those clean notes at the start send chills down your spine, much like how the opening of the original song sent chills of the song, and that solo was tight!

Nice! The remaster is out soon.

Well, this certainly was a nice surprise to see in my feed. Thanks, bro. As crappy as life has been lately, I really needed something to put a smile on my face.

That intro is beautifully haunting. Awesome rendition as always

What a nice tribute to the remaster

This theme is amazing in it's original state. Now it goes HARD.

Switch port and metal cover today? Winning.

love me some yasunori mitsuda. Speaking of which, a xenosaga cover would be really cool. Battling KOS-MOS in particular could be a cool cover.

This is absolutely gorgeous.

I don't normally care for communication or making comments because we'll a half the time people will not read them or just leave negative stuff but there is NOTHING 🚫 better than that cover. Stumbled across your platform searching metal covers of SNES games and saw your MMPR cover and this one too.... Like holy moly this was a masterpiece and something I aspire to now try and learn as a guitar player myself. Average TBH 😅 but damn I gotta lot of work to get that great. Awesome 😎🤘👍 cover

In the beginning i thought "a melodic song like this is not a good choice" but you did justice to the beautiful melodic parts and shreaded the more powerful parts i give you 100% credit

This is immaculate. You really did this song justice and brought it some amazing new life.

It was super cool to hear this from start to finish during your production stream on twitch! This sounds so sick!

I appreciate it that artists akknowledge this beautiful game with their beautiful music! Love it.

This and Radical Dreamers are my favorite songs of all time. Thank you :)

I was 19 when I first played this game. I can still picture the book opening at the beginning and the quote it said. This Is Awesome!

Let's gooo! My favorite VGM song ever and the one that actually made me fall in love with VGM in the first place. I remember starting up Chrono Cross but not actually pressing "start" to start playing. I would just sit there listening to this song on repeat over and over. Love your version of it, hell yeah, dude!

Nostalgic Memories 🤩

I preordered the remaster and it will be my first time experiencing Cross. After listening to your remix I’m excited to hear this song in-game

Gave me goosebumps over feeling nostalgic.

Jfc man, some of us played this game for the first time while young. This cover gonna give us old folk a heart attack from how absolutely mind-meltingly awesome it is >.

A spectacular adaptation of an already spectacular song. The original Time’s Scar is such a beautiful piece that it really set the bar intimidatingly high. Even so, not only did you go for it, you cleared that bar comfortably. 👏

Can't wait for the remaster. Thanks soo much for this : )

I got this game for my 15th birthday and it holds so much memory. I still play it every birthday and boot it up on occasion just to hear this song. You have truly brought me to tears, and I thank you for it.

ANOTHA ONE 🔥

2:20 I love what you did with the transition here. It's one of my favorite bits of the original song and you did it well.

Cannot go wrong with a Chrono Cross cover

Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger in my opinion are the best VG music of all time. I just wish this song was like 10 minutes long, it's so good I just don't want it to end. So glad you finally covered this song. Here's hoping we hear Schala's theme or Corridors of time from Chrono Trigger soon :)

Time to get those lighters out... or to headbang...? WHY NOT BOTH?! Well done!

Dude, such a great cover and era of playstation games, your playing is on-point as always!

I don't think you ever miss with these covers, Jack. Fantastic as always!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ty man

Whenever I pick up a new instrument, this is the first song I learn to play on it.

Timeless song, brilliant cover. I'm really digging the transition from the intro, and the solo.

So much nostalgia!! I love working/working out to this channel .keep on rocking! 🤘

This gave me the best nostalgia feels. Excellent job man, nothing else to be said other than that.

Great cover of what might be my favorite song of all time. Thank you for this.

One of my favorite song, amazing work!

This gave me chills. Thank you

Very nice cover dude. Usual when I hear metal version covers the majority make me cringe especially when they forget what made the song good in the first place but not yours. You made it your own but kept the spirit of the original. It was a killer cover well done. I'm sure Yasunori Matsuda would agree.

I've played through Chrono Cross dozens of times during my childhood; hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Unlocked all the summons, characters, and experienced their stories along with a gorgeous soundtrack that still sends goosebumps down my spine whenever I listen to it. Your cover brings back all those feelings of nostalgia with a badass metal twist; I love it! In short: I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite Time's Scar cover on the Citadel.

And to think I skipped this song for years by accident...damn them for hiding this masterpiece behind the skippable opening!! Loved this dude!!

The sound is so good!

Brother that clean tone is so damn tasty.

Dude idk how I missed this release but holy shit I know what I'm requesting every stream now!

Just relistened for the 100000th time hah! I love how in the beginning with the solo, you use hi hat accents to support the pick attack... amazing production on your covers man!

Amazing, this has made my day man!

holy shit, that intro gave me the chills, this is such an awesome cover!

What a blast of nostalgia. Excellent work, mate. Excellent.

One of my all-time favorite game openings. As a fellow guitarist, this is so beautiful.

Dude you've outdone yourself. This is a new favorite! Bravo!

My God, this cover... it's a thing of utmost beauty. PS1/PS2 tracks just hit different, and breathing some new life into an already gorgeous track like this is just one of the many reasons I love checking your channel and seeing what you've cooked up. Bless you, Jack, and keep on rockin'!

Such a weird feeling to see fresh chrono cross content on the regular after 20 years of being a lonely fanboy :P I'm glad ! Great cover mate

This is wicked awesome! One of my childhood faves!

Mitsuda may never have been as profilic as people like Uematsu, but this opening is why he is perhaps the very top of the caliber

Man this brought back so many good memories. It's been so long since I heard this, but such a remarkable game

(Crying)..... That was P R E F E C T I O N

This is almost too good, it's beyond a masterpiece. You should be on tour all over the world

Man, I was waiting for this one and it did not disappoint.

FUCK YES!!!!!!! DAY HAS BEEN MADE........and I haven't had my coffee yet

Completely Crushed it!

listened in on the twitch stream. this turned out really well.

This is one of my all time favorite songs from any game ever. Killer cover.

Excellent cover! I have loved this song since it graced my ears all those years ago when the game first came out! Thank you!

goddamn dude your mixes are always so clean and crisp. sounds like a million bucks

this turned out pretty well, i saw you track some of the guitars onstream but not the drums love the progression of the riffs man, WELL DONE

This is a thing of great beauty!!! Thank you for this cover dude!

Seriously one of my all time favorite scores from one of my favorite games growing up. The part that surprised me is that you took something already amazing and and turned into something that resonates with my soul. Thank you for the art you give us, every one that i hear is a masterpiece, and the version i wish was actually in the game. If no one has picked you up to deliver a game's OST, i hope one day they do. It would be the best soundtrack in existence.

Thank you so much for an awesome cover! You make these songs come to life even more!

One of the greatest video game soundtracks ever and one of the greatest opening themes ever and you did it justice with this cover, great job 👍🏼

This was fucking incredible. As one of the weird people who has always sworn Chrono Cross was a top tier game, this got me so pumped for the Switch release this Thursday. Absolutely sick solo toward the end too!

Gorgeous and crisp cover, added just enough of that metal flare to make it a true metal mix but kept the epic integrity of the original. Simply awesome man!

New fan. Thumbs-up'd your Lufia piece like years ago and now I'm flipping through your amazon page. Loving it.

This is amazing! The chrono series is my all time favorite. I love that its also extended like the chrono series 20th anniversary album's version.

Although I never played Chrono Cross, still its revival with the Radical Dreams Edition has excited me so bad I (as a huge Chrono Trigger fan) can't wait to play it! But all my excitement came up when I first listened to this song. So thank you so much for this splendid cover! I appreciate how profoundly you put all your heart and mind in your arrangements and performances.

Thank you so much for this, this was so beautiful.

epic!!! increible!!

How on earth did you manage to make your electric guitar sound like a violin?! It's unbelievable... Also the solo at 3:14 gave me enormous goosebumps

Wow! You rocks, man! Thanks for that wonderful opening)

one of my favorite songs of all time and you play it so well my goodness I got shivers up and down my spine so good thanks a ton for this!

Good grief those opening/backing notes were so good. Classic Metallica sound! Fantastic cover man. This rocks. I just sat down and learned this on piano like 3 days ago so it was great to see this pop up.

This is dope.

Great cover from my fav game song (#2 is magus theme), it really takes you to the eternity, love it!!!!! It's the first I heard, already the best

Literally playing this on repeat the last few days
