Though I love a lot of what the fandom does, covers and custom music is rarely that which really get me in a personal way. And I've come to love the series' musical style for sure.
This is one of the few exceptions. I dunno why, it just strikes a chord with me. I've listened to it enough that it appears regularly in my YouTube mix, so that's something. I think Crusader really captures the essence of the original piece while taking it in a personal, acoustic direction, and the diction of his voice and the melody does a really good job of keeping the pace. So it's still really fun. Plus, he ends the song really well, rather then trying to replicate the minute-long instrumental backing then ends the actual version.
If you haven't heard it before, well, enjoy!
I'm quite fond of Crusader! I'm not an especially huge rock fan, but this being a Rainbow Dash song it seems to fit pretty well. Agreed about the ending, too. :)
