Star Wars: Duel of the Fates || Metal Cover by RichaadEB 

Episode 1: Phantom Metal Episode 2: Attack of the Covers Episode 3: Revenge of the Riffs

The cover I never asked for and didn't realize I desperately needed

I really liked the part when the guitar did the do-di-doodle-do do-di-doodle-do

I love metal, it’s rough and coarse and it gets everywhere.

My lord... Is that... Metal? RichaadEB: I will MAKE it metal.

When he said “do-do-doodle-do” I felt that

i did not have time to don darth maul face paint please forgive sumimasen

Rich, stop. I’m at work, I can’t let the glorious metal affect me... And now I’m head banging. Thanks man.

What I love about this theme is that it perfectly encapsulates the entire mood and intensity of fighting the Sith. What people need to really think about is that in the chronological time of Star Wars Episode 1, no Jedi have seen the Sith in millennia, and to have those hangar doors open to reveal a black-robed figure with a lightsaber, that turns out to be red (forbidden in the Jedi) would have been extremely intimidating to anyone, even an experienced Jedi like Qui-Gon. You honestly have no idea what to expect from a fight like this and the music perfectly captures that feeling.

I’m disappointed that nobody’s made a Duel of the Frets joke yet.

"We will watch you career with great interest"

I negotiated with myself on rather or not to click on this. "The negotiations were short"

We’re singing this as an a cappella in my choir class and damn this just gets me more hyped

This IS the arrangement, you've been looking for. *waves hand*

Normies: you can't make a good cover of Duel of the Fates RichaadEB: Unfortunately for you, the internet will not see it that way.

YES, THE BEST SONG IN STAR WARS HISTORY NEXT TO BATTLE OF HEROES!!!!!!!!

General Richaad, you ARE a *bold* one!

And that's about it for best guitarists on youtube covering the best song in Star Wars. Everything you touch seems to turn to gold man, you are insanely talented.

Excellent arrangement. Wasn't sure how that would work but I'm beyond impressed. I'd love to hear an arrangement for the force suite. Just one lonesome guitar

And now for something completely different: MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

I am a simple person. I see Duel of the Fates, I click.

Playing a rocking version of the best star wars theme whilst wearing a D&D shirt, subscription granted sir.

This man's wearing a D&D shirt while doing a metal cover of an already amazing track, and somehow made its beat kick in even harder than the OG already does. Truly, we have found our new saint of the strings.

I felt a great disturbance in the force......as if millions of souls suddenly cried out....IN ECSTACY! This is easily the most PERFECT metal rendition of ANY Star Wars song EVER!!!

"Hello there!" Me: "Ah, General RichaadEB!" Dang man! This is perfection!!

The subtle lack of symmetry you used in this otherwise typically repetitive song make this arrangement *FUCKING* *AWESOME*

Came and stayed for the kickass remix. The D&D t-shirt was a nice little bonus!

SOMEONE put this over footage.

Touhou fan in me: "What will he upload next?" The SW fan in me: "OMG DUEL OF FATES"

BATTLE OF THE HEROES RICH, I NEVER ASKED YOU FOR ANYTHING, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN

2:02 it gets even better from here

This is so sick! All of the supporting guitar part-writing is just amazing and perfectly complements the lead. Great shit man

"This will make a fine addition to my collection!"

1:39 those subtle tremolo flutters tho

This could go as part of it's own fight not even being so part of the duel in star wars 0:01-0:12 the villain makes his entrance and the 2 heroes draw swords 0:12-1:00 they fight for a bit 1:00-1:11 the bad guy retreats and the heroes follow him 1:12-1:37 the fight continues 1:37-1:43 the bad guy retreats again and the heroes follow again 1:43-2:01 the fight keeps going and results in one of the heroes being knocked out and the other dangling off a ledge 2:01-2:33 evil monologue that involves the bad guy cutting one of the hero's fingers off 2:33-2:40 the other hero gets up and drop kicks the bad guy and helps the other one up 2:40-end the fight continues, then ends with a heroic victory of throwing the bad guy off an edge

Obi Wan: I have the high ground! Anakin: You underestimate my power! Obi Wan: **Remembers the time he cut Darth Maul in half while having the low ground.** DON'T TRY IT!!!

THIS IS GLORIOUS seriously, I'm stunned by how fantastic this sounds! you have always been amazing, but your improvement over the years is nothing short of incredible, and I'm honestly grateful you share your talent with all of us. beautiful work!

Dude this shreds! Amazing job!

Impressive... Most impressive.

Ohh.......My........God......! Masterpiece.

my favorite part was 0:00 to 4:06

Please do battle of the heroes next! I love metal Star Wars covers and this is one of the best ones I have listened to!

I coudnt help but notice a little Dimmu Borgir influence while i was headbanging through this. Very Nice

8 year old me and 7 year old bro: **find cool sticks at the park** Us immediately after:

THE BREAKDOWN AT 2:22!!! Fuck yeah 🤘🏻🔥

FINALLY! A DUEL OF THE FATES COVER THAT FOLLOWS THE ORIGINAL'S TEMPO!

Just got done watching Ashoka Vs. Maul. Man the fight was good.

Best cover of this song I've ever heard. Bravo!

*KO O ORAH* *MA A ATAH* Amazing cover by the way, enough metal to build several Venator-class Cruisers.

Immediately puts this song on a 1 song playlist to play it on loop. "My Lord is that even legal?" "I will make it legal!"

I understand some people still hate on Episode 1 in general, but everybody got to admit that Duel of the Fates was so good.

The force is strong with this cover! Nicely done Rich🤘🏻

1:20 sounds like symphonic black metal :>

Honestly the Best Star Wars Hype song ever!!! Great cover!!

Low key hoped you were gonna do the Darth Maul face paint but shreddings cool too

It brings me back ! I'll watch the Phantom menace again ! Nice cover Richaad !

Clicked almost immediately when I saw the title

Brilliant!

Finally a good metal cover of this song for once. This comes out the exact day I started trying to find one again

You can hear how much effort in nailing it went into this

Three of my favorite things in one video, Star Wars, metal, and DnD.

So like I just discovered yall. Everything yall do is epic and insane. Subscribed on every platform

Never would have expected a starwars song from you...and boy am I glad I was dead wrong! Let the metal flow through you!

One of the only genuinely good things to come out of the prequels. Thanks John Williams, and thanks Rich!

oh the drums go INSANE on this one

We played this in middle school band, since that was around the time Episode 1 came out. This version is a little bit better than we did.

This cover will make a fine addition to my collection

This arrangement and mix is just excellent. I froze in place for a few seconds at first wrapping my brain around it. Cheers.

This is absolutely epic. But you know... a certain general could use a cover too. *cough cough*

wow that's very cool! I also like that it has your soulsborne sound/vibe

Done with a John Petrucci signature! I love it!!!

Add the chorus in and I will be absolutely sold

this was such an unexpected cover but fuck thank you for doing literally my favourite Star Wars song, it's been stuck in my head for the past month now

Best one I've heard so far brother!! Keep it up!!!

I have seen you collab with Jonathan Young, and after hearing this, I'm sorry I didnt come check out your stuff sooner!!! There are no words in the English language to describe how truly epic this really is!!!

The drums really are the heart of this song.

OMFG! I have nothing to say, it's too awesome!

I never knew i needed this, thank you rich

Perfection!!! It is music like this that makes me want to pick up my lightsabers and spin and trickshot like a sithlord. This amazing to have this as a background tune to practice the Soresu on. Very nicely done!!

Well, this is the coolest thing I've seen all month. Great job!

This is Better Than The Visions Remix of Duel of The Fates!

One of the most epic movie battle themes along with "Battle of the Heroes" from Ep 3.

nice D&D shirt rich. this was awesome like always, keep on rocking.

Man this takes me back

This was awesome, all of your covers are great, thank you for doing this

When RichaadEB does a Dual of the Fates cover Every dual of the fates fan: “execute order awesomeness”

My favorite thing on RU-vid yet this year.

The drums are wicked man.

I've been waiting for this since episode 1 premiered forever ago. Thank you

*We will watch your career with great interest.*

A legend....

May I please use this for a lightsaber choreography? With credit, to be sure!

Only one business in this galaxy gets you this talented

the little do do doodle loo is like when you got an itch on ur brains u can't reach and the guitar is like wait lemme get that for ya

Holy cow, you NAILED this one. This is so cool!!!

This is absolutely it, chief. You always keep outdoing yourself man.

beyond godlike

Just when I thought he was done and fading out, he starts fucking SHREDDING.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL METAL BALLAD

This truly was a duel of fate. With Qui-Gon Jinn out of the way, the path that Sidious took was all but a matter of time. Such an awesome song, and perhaps, such a massive foreshadow.
