Knight Rider - Theme (1982) Synth+Guitar Cover 

:D Hahaha you don't know what a smile it gave me reading this comment!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Hahahahahah yeah

Hate to spoil the speech there, fella, but if you open the description for the video, it seems the all-knowing Algorithm has caught up with our intrepid KOSmusic. :)

Indeed.

One of the best comments I've ever read! 👏

Perfection

Yyeesss

I would rather call it a re-recording, with the sound quality of nowadays - it's brilliant!

I agree, this is a remaster!

I don't think that means what you think it does...

:) :) :) The opening theme of the show is a masterpiece in everything!!!

😂😂😂👍🏼

Sounds more like a prophecy for the year 2020 than a bumper for an 80s tv show.

One man can make a difference, Michael.

I read that in the guys voice from the show

Welcome back.

Fr

10 years old on Friday night. Stay up to watch my favorite series❤

I never grew up.

I'm back in time

YOU ARE REALLY KIND!!!!! Thank you so much for your super compliments :) :) :)

Well, it sounds the same.

Knight rider was one of my favourite shows and this is pure gold... Masterpiece!

​@mikeymcmikeface5599 for legal purposes it isn't though. It's like defeating voice recognition by being good at it, it's impressive.

Bravo also to amazing Stu Phillips.

MEGA WOOWWWW!!!!! It is a great honor to read your comment!!! I have always loved the authenticity of things and I like to recreate and not distort what inspires me. Furthermore, I like that those who are passionate and who have lived these songs/TV series/movies etc. can relive emotions similar to those they had experienced with the original ones. THANK YOU OF HEART, MY FRIEND :) :) :)

Doctor Mix wants a word with you.

@@KOSmusicovers Oh, my wow...that was a fantastic cover of the Knight Rider theme

No, there should never be any rules to music - ever! Interpretations are fine, but I find covers like this very refreshing becasue of their accuracy.

This indeed the best cover I've heard. You really got the guitar sound almost perfect. It is much closer to the original than the version from Doctor Mix. However, both you and Doctor mix forget one note in the mute guitar part: there are four notes in succession, not 3 (missing a major triad I think). You can hear them clearly in the official reconstructed version in the "Stu Phillips - Topic" channel, which you say you took for reference. Congratulations, really!

Yep I feel exactly d same way.I was born in 1977,how lucky were we 2 have such brilliant TV shows.

Nah man that’s the power of goid theme songs!

Me too

Same. I was born on October 31. 1979. I loved this series.

No. Not strange. When you have sounds, music ir even smells, after decades, you remember everything the same way if you get triggered by that.

Face it. Knight Rider's intro music & narrative is quite probably the best ever in television history...well maybe Gilligan's Island is a close 2nd, LOL!

What about _The Twilight Zone?_ “There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination, it is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” Admittedly, it’s a bit longer, but the intro sequence was pretty impressive for its time.

“Nobody talks like that anymore”

We live in a world of criminals who operate above the law in real life with international Non Government Organizations that want to eliminate all borders and have one giant prison planet for the innocent, the helpless, and the powerless.

"A man who does not exist." So me, on a Monday morning!

YEAH!!!! Those who have experienced these TV series always carry them in their hearts!!! Proud to have been born in 1985 and to have grown up with these timeless MASTERPIECES... good memories!!! :) :) :)

@@KOSmusicovers My dad has born in 1972 and teached me all the 80s things I love 80s more than anything but I was born in 2005 so i still hate 2010s and 2020

@@KOSmusicovers I HAD a Knight 2000. The only thing better than seeing one on the streets, is DRIVING one. The novelty NEVER wears off!

I am 90s :D still love 80s shows :))) Knight Rider, Airwolf, MacGyver ... damn

@@KOSmusicovers I was born in '66, so I am fortunate enough to say that I experienced the entire 80s decade first hand. I will always stand by the statement that the 80s was the best decade ever!

YEAH!!!!!! It's true... me too, it gives me the same feelings as when I first heard it as a child!! Great themes in the 80s :) :) :)

WOOWWW!!!!!!! I am very happy that you enjoyed my cover!!! Me too, always liked this part!!!! Thanks again buddy, for your wonderful comments!!! I really appreciate it :) :) :)

The pitch-bending was well done. But actually seeing it done after all these years just hit me really funny. Had a good laugh. Thanks!

@@KOSmusicovers is that keyboard really bending that much? cause all the keyboards i've ever tried only bend by a single tone

@@6squall9 Oh yes, on my CS1x it is possible to change the "P BEND RANGE" parameter from -24 to +24, to obtain this type of effect. Try to check if you too, on your keyboard/synth, have a setting that is called in a similar way ;)

WOOOWWW!!!!!! I'm really glad you liked it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MATE!!!! :) :) :)

IT'S TRUE!!!!!! I have always been fascinated by the beginning of this song with KITT who comes from afar with the purple sky and the sound of the scanner!!! Magnificent childhood memories :) :) :)

My all-time favorite is the 1980 Doctor Who theme, but this is a really close second! I grew up watching both.

My favourite is Carry On My Wayward Son (plays one time in every season of Supernatural) but KR's theme is still cool

Knight Rider is a great theme, and this is just a fabulous cover, but for the best TV theme of all, I have to go for Earth Final Conflict (I just listened to it again and it gave me the chills).

You're absolutely right!!! Only great geniuses could create themes and music so iconic that they last over time... WHAT MASTERPIECES!!!!!!

Agreed 👍

I read in a trivia bit once that the three major theme sections were recorded separately, but different artists, so that nobody outside the production itself would even know what the theme would sound like. The first time the musicians who recorded the pieces heard the full theme song was the same time everyone else did - when they saw the first episode on TV.

@@c0ldc0ne Reread what I wrote, please. I said they were *recorded* separately. Not *composed* separately.

@@c0ldc0ne Does it? What kind of musician is unable to follow sheet music? Someone composed the entire piece, then split it by instrument, and sent the parts to each person. The music says what tempo to follow, precisely what to play, how long to wait between notes, and every single detail. When given a piece of music and being paid to play that music, a musician isn't going to improvise. Each plays the notes called for in the music, WHEN called for. That's their job, and doing their job is how they get more business and more payments, right? Once the three tracks are received, the production just has their sound engineer sync up the start points for each piece, and then layer them. The result is the original composition. This isn't dangerous at all...its routine these days for animation voiceovers. The voice actors aren't standing in a room together saying lines to each other. They're reading the script and leaving prescribed spaces of time for other characters to speak, then saying their next line - high budget productions might just have them say the lines one after another, and leave it to the sound engineer to cut them apart and intermix the other characters' lines Studio music recordings often have every instrument and vocal recorded separately, so in post production the audio levels can be changed so the drummer gets louder during a solo, then softer when the others join back, without the drummer changing anything, the sound engineer just moves a slider to bring up the gain, then takes it back down. As for where I heard it, I think it was on an alternate audio track on an older box set of the show on DVD. Its been a lot of years.

lol 😂

“Wait, you’re not Michael.” (Robot Chicken reference.)

Don't hassle the Hoff.

EPIC!

Hope you didn't hurt him!

YOUR COMMENT LEAVES ME WITHOUT WORDS!!!!! It is truly incredible!! When I made this video I didn't think it could be of interest to so many fans and it is FANTASTIC to know that many people still love these 80s TV series!!! They are and will always be IMMORTAL over time!!! Thanks again my dear friend, for this beautiful surprise and for continuing to appreciate my passion :) :) :)

My favorite TV show and the dream car of every man.

YEAH!!!!!! You are absolutely right!!! Even today, listening to it, it gives me the same feelings as when I first heard it!!! What GREAT MASTERPIECES that created in the 80s!!! :) :) :)

Sorry, but the raccoons theme tune is the best!

OH WOOOWWW, MAN!!!!! I'm really pleased that you appreciated my tribute so much!!! Thanks again for your fantastic comment, Remowo :) :) :)

WOOOWWW!!!!!! Your comment makes me very happy!!! I am very glad that you enjoyed everything!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, BUDDY :) :) :)

:D You are so kind and I'm very happy that you enjoyed my version!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN MATE, FOR YOUR FANTASTIC COMPLIMENTS :) :) :)

OH YEAH!!!!!

GREAT, MAN :D Unfortunately, it is something that often happens to me on my versions, but from this point of view it is a great personal pleasure to know that I was able to get close to these MASTERPIECES that I have always loved!!!! Thanks again my friend, for appreciating my efforts :) :) :)

screw youtube algo, KOSmusic version is perfect remaster of that original score

WOOWWWW... THANK YOU SO MUCH, TOBI!!!!! I'm really glad you liked it!!!!! All these TV series (apart from Manimal which I didn't know, but which I gladly add) are already on my list and in the future, I hope to be able to do some... I LOVE THEM!!!! Thanks again for everything :) :) :)

Totally agreed! Especially Automan and Street Hawk.

Definitely MacGyver would be righteous

Magnum would be great !!

Yes!! MacGyver or Magnum P.I.!!

Same here. I always Loved how dark mysterious this theme always sounded. 😊❤️🖤

WOOOWWW!!!!! YOUR COMMENT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY AND PROUD!!!! I am very pleased that you heard and appreciated the details of this cover!!! I tried to make it as rich as possible to pay tribute to this WONDERFUL song that I always liked since I was a child!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE FANTASTIC WORDS AND FOR YOUR SUPPORT, MY FRIEND :) :) :)

WHAT UP RU-vid ITS YA BOI HERE WITH ANOTHER SICK VIDEO MAKE SURE TO SNASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON

Agreed!

Agreed! It's soo catchy.

Battlestar Galactica original, buck Rodgers in the 25th century and A team...all up there

I think the Miami Vice theme rivals it.

AirWolf Theme is perfect.

accurate comment.

XD Hahaha

And KARR

And Goliath

The thumbs downs are from people who can't come close to this .

SUPER WOOOWWWW!!!!!! YOUR COMMENT IS AMAZING!!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed my work on this cover!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY FRIEND :) :) :) If I could, I would happily go back to the 80s!!!

I second that emotion!

YEAH!!!!!! The shows and themes of those years will forever be unbeatable!!!!

He should it's pretty inspirational

NO GOD NO, I've already seen enough of my childhood destroyed.

@@logicplague Yeah...especially that last reboot with the mustang K.I.T.T. car. (Although to be fair, it's not as bad as the first reboot called "Team Knight Rider". Does anybody remember that one?) The 2008 reboot would've been the best aside from the original if only they didn't have the car transforming into a pickup truck & most notoriously having K.A.R.R. "transform" into a giant robot like a knockoff transformers! (All that, plus they should've used the Chevolet Camaro instead of the damn Mustang car. At least there's one model of a Camaro car that I know of that already had a "mail slot" under the hood built in where the scanner could've been put in!)

@@RppRussell Or a 2021 CORVETTE!! :)

Absolutely yes, I fully agree with you!!! Even today, I find the songs and soundtracks of the past, modern and fascinating!!! There is nothing better than listening to the great timeless classics... "Situation", "Let the music play", "Cars", "Do You Wanna Funk", "Chase", "Blue monday" and the list would never end!! Furthermore these MASTERPIECES for me, are a source of continuous inspiration and I hope with all my heart that in the future, the synth will return with the real sound that characterized the 80s, in all its splendor for all of us fans :) :) :)

:D THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAREK!!!!

did they do that?

FANTASTIC MATE!!!!! It is a great pleasure to know this!!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR APPRECIATING MY PASSION :) :) :)

Not so much a rendition but a tribute and clone to orig..,.chek out they found the orig FLAGG SEMI. WRITE SOME MUSIC FOR THAT

Really true

I'm always very happy to know others who have grown up with these classics!!!! Thanks again for appreciating my tribute :) :) :)

YEAH!!!!! I fully agree with you... one of the most spectacular introductions ever created!!!!

"Micheal Knight, a lone crusader in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider."

YOU ARE SO KIND!!!! Thank you very much for your SUPERB compliment!!!!! :) :) :)

GREAT!!!!!! I'm very pleased that you liked my version!!!! We have an age difference of about ten years, I watched reruns in the early 90's. Thanks again for everything, mate :) :) :)

I unfortunately was born after the show ended (by about 6 or 7 months), but I'm glad I got to watch the reruns afterwards and as I got older. This will always be my favorite show from the 80s. All other incarnations of Knight Rider that came along after (KR2000, Team Knight Rider, and the 2008 version) don't come close to the original.

WOOWWWWW!!!!!!! I am very pleased that you also liked the 80's style finishing of the video!!! You really have a good eye!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MY FRIEND, FOR YOUR AMAZING COMPLIMENTS :) :) :)

Neon was late 80's guy.
