History Music / GaMetal

* {{Crossover}}: He's had a few guest musicians on his videos. He has Nirre on guest guitar for [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Twinrova's theme]], Andrew Wrangell on guest keyboard for [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland Baby Bowser's theme]], The 8-Bit Drummer for VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine's 2-player theme, and [=ShaoDow=] for "[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Unknown From M.E.]]".

** 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]].

* FreezeFrameBonus: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LNa-mmpw2A Confronting Myself]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Celeste}}, very briefly at the 4:09 mark, Jonny's in his old suit and hat from when he originally started doing [=GaMetal=].

** A [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Waddle Dee]] occasionally shows up [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] of various videos. Such as appearing in the game-play footage like ''[[VideoGame/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney Apollo Justice]]'' or as a plush in different shots.

* 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 ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog 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]].. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy4mnbwV4kQ sings the Lifelight]] theme from [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate "Super Smash Bros Ultimate"]].

* {{Instrumentals}}: All but a few [=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''.

* 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. He adds lyrics to the first tier of his 2019 remake of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Dancing Mad]].

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: Besides doing metal remixes of Franchise/{{Kirby}} songs, he also has dolls and shirts of him in angry face mode.

** His remix of [[VideoGame/OctopathTraveler Daughter of the Dark God]] features the vocals of Marie-Ève Ermel, [[AscendedFan a Pateron supporter's girlfriend]].

** Richaad would return to do a cover on Kobito of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess.

** "When is [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void Termina]]?"[[note]]A widely-requested song. Jonny hasn't gotten around to doing it just yet, but this is his way of acknowledging the popularity of this request.[[/note]]

** 2019's AprilFoolsDay entry, the stage theme from ''[[VideoGame/NineteenFortyTwo]]'', shows the plane [[PacifistRun not shooting the enemy planes at all]], only destroying an enemy plane by colliding with it.

** November of 2019 has him take it UpToEleven; he's releasing a ''full album's worth'' of updated songs from his Jonny Death days, starting with his very first song (first recorded circa 2005): [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6FTk0dy30M Jungle / Base / Boss from Contra]]. He calls it [=GaMetal=] Project One.

* OldShame: His older versions of songs, pre-2013, fit under this. To the extent that when Jonny announced [=GaMetal=] Project One, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9_puEv0hs the framing story]] made the old Jonny Death into an attempt to create the ultimate bard...but turned out to be a ''massively'' FlawedPrototype that had to be [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]].

* RunningGag: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Super Sonic]] frequently shows up playing keyboard during solos and is occasionally even credited in the ending.

* SongStyleShift: A majority of [=GaMetal=] songs make use of this, most frequently to an acoustic segment, but also occasionally to a synthetic orchestra, techno break, or, in the case of ''[[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Masked Dedede]]'' and ''[[Franchise//AceAttorney Pursuit ~ Cornered]]'', an 8-bit solo.
