Bit Brigade - Live @ MAGFEST X - Megaband full show.MP4

[@Maverik770]

"Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit!" And no I'm not just swearing, I was chanting along with the end of the video, hehe. But seriously now, as a die hard MegaMan fan, especially MegaMan 2, that is by far one of the koolest things I've ever seen. Best fucking concert ever! I just wish I could see it live... Keep it up guys! ;D

[@ShadowOfTheVoid]

That was 44 minutes and 14 seconds of my life well-spent. Simply awesome. MM2 is widely-regarded as the best in the series and rightfully so, and has one of the best soundtracks not only of the 8-bit era, but of any console generation. This band's rendition of it is excellent, as is how they actually have a guy playing the game. I also like how they threw in some tracks from other MM games as well.

[@kawuroh]

@secrethobospices those two songs are the wily stage songs from Mega Man 3. We added those b/c in the original game it just repeats the two wily stage songs over the four stages. We also play the get equipped music from Mega Man 3 and Spark Man is the song that we transition into during Crash Man's stage. And for the final boss rush we use rocking part of the intro to Mega Man 3.

[@Xanlabega]

Really impressive! I'm 25 and a megaman's brazilian fan, I play this game since when I was 4. Congratulations to this band and the player, amazing video!!!! Megaman forever!!!!!!

[@EliotLash]

This show was so hype. I think I was standing about 10 feet behind you when you were taking this video. Thanks for posting!

[@StrilliVanilliDrums]

O.O Best live performance ever. Completing Mega Man II PLUS hearing the complete soundtrack played live by a band? I am speechless.

[@itsNRG]

Many things that I like in this video: The video itself (no brainer), the MM3 "Got Weapon" when you get Items 1,2,3, the random transition to Spark Man, during Wily Stage 2 the fact they play MM3 Wily Stages 3-4 instead (by far one of my favorite Wily stage themes), and just the overall energy for this show. Everyone is into it, and it just makes it that much more awesome.

[@mutoneon]

Kick ass, guys! Glad to see a band nail these grooves for once, so many other acts simply lack the rhythmic chops to really make the material shine. Great performance!

[@babyjay96]

This is the most beautiful thing ever...I cried...remembering my childhood....

[@JinsokuMan]

This was one of the best 44 minutes of my life. Wish I could have spent those 44 minutes there live.

[@dan2kxyz]

You guys took all of our shared childhood experience and did something amazing with it. Bravo.

[@blackpikapi]

Unbelievable!! This Mega Man live show is so amazing!!

[@kawuroh]

@vttym Thanks a lot man, i'm glad you enjoyed it. as far as PAX east, we aren't on the line up at the moment, but we certainly want to be.

[@Mandego]

This was beyond awesome on so many levels...one of the best games/soundtracks of all time getting the ultimate tribute it deserves!

[@narcodis]

This is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time. Definitely going to keep my eye on Bit Brigade, and if they ever come out to the mountain west (salt lake city, specifically), you can bet your ass I'm going.

[@ahlahlancha]

Dude i have played this game since i was a little boy. this was one of the first video games i ever played. i always thought 2 and 3(really every nes megaman) had amazing music. But anyways from start to finish i was blown away by both the band and that guy playing the NES. at parts i was stunned by almost every band member, perfect drums, perfect bass, and the guitar was by far the most impressive. both speed and presicion. took me right back to 1990.

[@TheTerrificTracy]

The most epic thing ever for a Mega Man fan of the Original/Classic series like me! My gamer soul has be touched and is forever changed!!!!!! (Ok, not really but I was moved by this!)

[@uncwdjzilla2001]

And to think I had been listening to the MM2 soundtrack on my NES for the past 20 years! F'ing Epic!!!! Please come back to North Carolina!!!

[@Mandego]

Ive lost count of how many times ive come back and watched this video. Absolutely killer!

[@EversonsIndecision]

Words cannot describe how awesome this was to watch. Took me back to my childhood!

[@Daedana]

Thank you. This is one of the most awesome things ever.

[@crashbomber]

When I was a kid, I always talked about how cool it would be to have a real rock band play the music from my favorite game, my fantasy came true. YOU GUYS PUT THE NESKIMOS AND THE MINIBOSSES TO SHAAAAAME. good job!

[@mathfool]

Fantastic job, well done. I will be happy to buy this when it is available.

[@masteraneil]

Video hasn't even loaded yet, and I've already hit the Like button!

[@LuisAlonzoRivero]

So much awesome inside my body right now that is overflowing out from my eyes in form of tears.

[@rakutyan]

SO COOL!!! We Japanese people are so glad to see how much Megaman(in japan, Rockman) is loved abroad. Keiji Inafune will be glad, too.

[@anti1999]

This is the greatest video on youtube, hands down

[@PrinceDavid]

Saw them a few times at MAGFest now they are coming to Long Island Retro Gaming Expo this year!

[@Werdnahh]

We're 11 days in and this made my 2012. Thanks.

[@Craigaleg]

Saw these guys live this weekend at Alley Bar, it's even more amazing in person!

[@OMGerBer]

This was one of the greatest things I ever experienced. So glad I got to see it in person. These guys know how to rock in every sense.

[@LegendaryQ]

Really really well done. Keep on rocking, Bit Brigade.

[@JCAznDude]

Thank you IGN for giving me something awesome to watch for nearly an hour. :)

[@brightroar]

First time commenting on a video - it took this awesomeness to do it!

[@ryanlhjess]

one of the most amazing performances of the year!

[@Rondallasonador]

EXCELENTE !!!! COMO QUISIERA DISFRUTAR DE ESE CONCIERTO EN VIVO !

[@ChazEvansdale]

This is so good I just watched it all for the 3rd time! :)

[@Ufe3d]

There are no words to explain the awesomeness of this video.

[@D1360ify]

i have no words to describe how much i love this video.

[@lecoffeebandit]

Not only is the whole band super mega ultra tight, being a bassist I gotta say holy fuck that was awesome! I always loved me my NES Megman bass lines, so awesome. Would love to see these guys someday, they must come to NYC.

[@WolfieVII]

Okay, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen!

[@jtruque]

The world is a better place thanks to this.

[@godspeedshredderjcpl7482]

The best concert performed ever!! You guys made me cry, lots of memories came back to me. Thanks for this!! Cheers!!

[@Gusmed007]

Wow, dude... This is so awesome I'm having a hard time describing it!

[@N2k2]

Best playthrough ever. And the cameraman deserves a PRROMOTION!

[@scampjot]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is f*cking amazing.

[@reyco1987]

I love how well the bassist drives the tempo with his galloping. It sounds friggin' kickass.

[@Keyblade660]

BTW, just finished listening to the whole thing. I am seriously mind blown o_o GREAT WORRKK

[@MattPerrette87]

Awesome! Hope to see a full Mega Man X (best SNES soundtrack next to Donkey Kong Country 2) show played!

[@DoctorFruitbat]

Some things make you feel glad to have the privilege of being alive to enjoy it. This is one such thing.

[@Ken9763]

wow this is so great, everything seems perfect in this run, must took some time effort and tears to actualy practice it, to make the music so great and the game itself isnt a walk in the park either, you could actualy die easely. Well done!

[@e2zippo]

This is amazing, will def buy the album!

[@ei24sen]

i can't imagine how the sound director recorded that on 1992! hahahaha WAY TO COOL MAN!!! FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[@DaishiGajo]

I can't even... what! ... I have no words! So awesome!

[@ILIKESCIFI]

This is not just cool - this is MOST EPIC! And I´m talking about the old epic. The Epic before the well known modern word of the year epic. Fantastic guys! Everyone on the video! BIGTIME!

[@erickcalmet]

When i was a child I iked the game but I loved the music of the game i have in my phone this is awesone the intro and the music for the presentetion of the enemies Epic, and there is 8 people that never defeat flashman

[@ApeF1st]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[@RussLyman]

just pre ordered your mega man CD awesome

[@smirelesz]

Great job guys. I loved it all.

[@shaowebb]

I love at the 13 minute mark after the guy beasts Woodman's stage and kills Woodman so fast they can't even rip through much song when the crowd starts chanting the name of the man playing Mega Man 2 for the set. Hats off to his skills and to the band for playing a set timed to his run.

[@kawuroh]

@brisulph also, we have been doing the megaband performance for close to 6 years now, and i am honing my playthrough fairly regularly due to suggestions that people have. i used to use leaf shield to get through a section on wily 2, but now i use flash stopper as per luke's suggestion. i'm not against using atomic fire, and will probably try it out next time we play.but i'm more concerned with making a reliable quick run that can consistently be done, than tiny things like weapon usage

[@PlayingwithPowerVGM]

May 4th in Grand Rapids, MI at GR8bit Live! Can't frakking wait!

[@ApeF1st]

Couldn't agree more. Makes my soul happy.

[@lob37068]

me hacen recordar mi infancia, gracias

[@snowstorm1922]

Just finished watching the entire 45 mins straight through. This is remarkable on many levels. Mega Man stage music = rapid onset Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.

[@nypad5]

sUCH A long stretch of playing with minor breaks inbetween! I love it :D

[@Xionkusanagy]

Hell yeah! And they played the best MegaMan in the classic series!

[@Soundboy6]

I'm showing this to some friends that run an independent game shop here in town that host retro game themed events in town. This may be something we could do as well. Wicked stuff.

[@GarikLoran]

An epic of epic epicness. Love the CrashMan level song !

[@yayarmadotcom]

I like how the camera shakes sometimes in this video, just proving how good they are.

[@PURASEKA]

Saludos desde Chile, increible y genial perfomance, para todos los nostaligicos gamers esto es un lujo, Gracias amigos. Greetings from Chile, amazing and great performance for all classic gamers. Thank you friends.

[@JeffLittleMusic]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[@MichaelAronson]

[@Myrr]

Bit Brigade: Performance art at it's finest.

[@ARIOCH_VL]

[@highradamiel]

Waiting for the studio album release!!

[@irezawa]

That bassist is just plain awesome. Heat Man blew my mind so bad i didn't even try to comprehend first Wily stage...

[@userpRmKAbS8Th]

Really excellent!!!

[@EliotLash]

You guys, Bit Brigade is gonna be playing in San Jose and San Francisco February 9-12th! Search for Rockage: San Jose and 8BitSF!

[@RevelationD]

[@Rargon]

13:23 Man, I just lost it there. My heart exploded with awesome-nostalgia and amazing performance~

[@ChaosSinfulRose]

I truly wonder what they have in store for this years MAGFest? Can. Not. Wait. HOLYSHIT. HOLYSHIT. HOLYSHIT.

[@pollutir]

the video description is awesome.

[@rkmusic_murcia]

and now a speedrun for Skyrim. and 3 days of concert XDD Good job!!

[@stillgaming]

I am kicking myself in the ass for missing the best MAGfest ever when I was broke. I have no doubt we'll shatter 10,000 attendees next year. 1,050 in 2008, 3,000 in 2011, 6,100+ in 2012. On to 10K in 2013!

[@Rogun987]

That soundtrack. One of the reasons Maga Man 2 will always be the best in the series to me.

[@Juniper_Rose]

@PAMuffinMan Sidenote: It's amazing no one does Wood Mans stage more often. That was some serious rocking.

[@jordanw0724]

@FatMat426 they do castlevania 3! its on their website and it has a couple of the tracks from the 1st on on it too.

[@JehuJones]

best video on the internet. fucking outstanding!
