History Music / GaMetal

* WithLyrics: ''[[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards 02]]'' was initially produced as an instrumental track like most of the other songs, but was given lyrics by Cecily Lopez. The lyrical version was later remade and posted to the [=GaMetal=] Website/YouTube channel.

* UpdatedReRelease: Each year since 2015, in the month of May, Jonny will redo some of his past remixes and throw a few new ones, sometimes dropping several songs a week, in what he appropriately calls "May Madness." With that said, not all of these re-releases are done in the month of May.

* UpdatedReRelease:

** Taken to the next level with the Pepsi Man Pepsi Jam, which not only brings back The 8-Bit Drummer and Insane in the Rain Music, but also features ToxicxEternity, Eric L., RichaadEB, Sax Dragon and none other than Tee Lopes, the main composer of [[VideoGame/SonicMania Sonic Mania]].

* SelfBackingVocalists: On songs where he does vocals. One example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy4mnbwV4kQ Lifelight]].

* TitleShout: His video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_9YH6BS5jU&feature=youtu.be Heavy Lobster]] has him just shouting the title character's name for lyrics.

* AprilFoolsDay: Every April 1st, he does a song normally that comes out of left field. 2015 is the Final Boss to ''VideoGame/McDonaldsTreasureLandAdventure''. 2016 is Spongebob Steelpants to Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom. 2017 is the theme to the Cheetahmen.

* {{Instrumentals}}: All but two [=GaMetal=] songs are this. {{Justified|Trope}} as they're all remixes of songs from VideoGames, which are for the most part instrumental. There's only been one case where a previously vocal song was covered instrumentally, namely the ''[[VideoGame/SonicColours Reach For The Stars]]'' remix in the ''Sonic Fan Medley''.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Though the songs are usually instrumental, vocals slip in here and there, most notably in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ara-kTQGjYk his version]] of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII "One Winged Angel"]], and earlier, the ''[[Franchise/{{Sonic}} Sonic Fan Medley]]'', where Jonny sang the vocals for [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 "City Escape", "Supporting Me" (Biolizard)]], and [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog "Never Turn Back"]]. The same medley featured vocals by Edobean for [[VideoGame/SonicR "Super Sonic Racing"]]; she also provided vocals for his version of [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards 02's theme]].

It centres around ProgressiveMetal remixes of songs from VideoGames such as ''{{Franchise/Kirby}}'', ''{{Franchise/Mario}}'', ''{{Franchise/Sonic}}'', ''Franchise/LegendOfZelda'' and occasionally [[UnexpectedCharacter slightly more odd ones]] like [=McDonald=]'s tie-in games.
