Electric guitar cover of Astro Boy theme

[Shiyonasan]

I was looking through Youtube videos randomly and came across this little gem. It's one part of a medley of different songs. It's got a surf rock sound to it.

I linked to the section with the Astro Boy theme in it, since I know that's what most of you want to hear the most. The Astro Boy theme ends at 5:15:

Edit: I decided to add this extra video as well since I found it after I just posted this thread. This is a hard rock cover of the '80s Astro Boy ending theme:

Wow! The first link sounds so nice. Never heard that one before.

I am quite familiar of the second link however. I love listening to it while drawing.

I can't believe I haven't heard that rock cover before, it's SO awesome!

[Astro Forever]

I didn't know any of these two, and I love them both! I wish the second one had been the actual theme of the 1980 series.

Thanks!

Looking though old threads and found this.
OMG, I don't know if that sounds more Hawaiian or Surf Rock (Jan and Dean or BB) but wow! It also reminds me of a version of the Astro theme I heard played in a youtube video on a Japanese Shamisen.

Those are very nice, Tetsuwan Penguin! I like the sound of the shamisen.

Also, it was nice to hear those rock/metal covers again. I wish there were more covers like them.

I'm going to use audacity and capture this one!

The audio in this track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSadR2Kmsy0&feature=related#t=3m53s
was possibly inspired by a guitar sound track that was actually in Episode #161 from 22:52 to 24:06. (http://www.astroboy-online.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3383)
