Bit Brigade performing Mega Man 2 at MAGFest X

[@ColdBrew697]

Hey everybody! I'm terrible at noticing YT notifications, so sorry for not replying to many comments or anything. I wanted to come in and hopefully let you all know that Bit Brigade did a new show last month at MAGFest where they played THREE GAMES. And two of them were new! I'll refrain from saying what they are in case any of you weren't aware of this and want to be surprised. It's was a killer show! Unfortunately, it only has a little over 800 views. I figure since this video has over 400k at this point (which is unreal), hopefully I could point some of you over toward the MAGFest channel because it seems to get very little attention. Here's a link to the Bit Brigade set, complete with remastered board audio and everything! Sorry you may not see the game 100% of the time, we've made sure this will be addressed in the future where we'll have a special overlay or something setup for it, not unlike what we here. Bit Brigade at MAGFest 2017 - Three Game Set! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5m4fauKgK6arpo My team (Down in Front) and I are part of a much larger official media team for MAGFest, so /most/ of the main stage concerts on that channel were filmed by us and those we work with. There's soooo many concerts on that channel now, you're bound to discover a lot of great music and stage performances (emphasis here on The Protomen and URIZEN), so please go check it out and give it a sub! All of our MAG content will be over there from now on, while any VGM we film outside of MAG will be on our DiF page, linked in the description above. Thank you all for the subs too, it makes me regret uploading this to my personal channel and not making one for our team ahead of time. :P

ColdBrew697 dude. I'm blaring dream theater wondering why that music connects on such a deep level. rewind 20 some years ago and I'm a small kid getting pumped up by some the best metal riffs ever made. no fucking wonder I'm a metalhead.

in case anyone is still reading. back in the days of the nes, i was playing megaman 2. i dont remember the order in which i was fighting the bosses, but i do remember i had beaten crash man before i went for quick man. i accidentally fired a crash bomb in the opposite direction. and it attached to the wall as it normally does. quickman jumped over me, straight into the bomb, he caught ALL the explosions and died. the luckiest accident in my gaming career.

Ogeretsu Kun absolutely knew what he was doing. He was a big metal fan and the influence is obvious.

[@Markleadguitar]

All of these 80's composers wrote their music on the same instruments, then the devs put in the beeps and bloops. This is totally metal and the composers knew it. Same thing with CastleVania, etc.

One of the greatest live performances of anything in history, this was amazing

[@hirosavage]

"Is this Mega Man 2?" Cracks me up. xD

[@superganjahleaf619]

Dude I am sorry, but I seriously couldnt help myself and I had to comment. I am so greatfull i atleast got to witness this via youtube. This to me truely is something special and magnifisant. I've heard people cover their own versions of the many awsome soundtracks from the classic 8-16 bit era, but these guyz... Maaaan!!! They did it complete and total justice. The way the performance went and their rendition of mega man 2 soundtrack was so precise, and i mean precise to the core, from the instruments used to the to the many soundz they produced, and by far the most important part of the show, the degree of technic , skill and mastery of their instruments these artist/musicianz demonstrated was beautifull. 1. First of all this was no ordinary concert for this was strictly a musical rendition NO vocals at all.... these gentlemen were singing with their instruments. And that is bad azz. 2. Since the main attraction of the performance was Musical the music has spesific parts of the tracks for each instrument to do their thing. So for instance, when u hear the stringz playing what soundz like a simple riff, the drummer will be rocking out like a motha hauffa just playing and amazing set and visa versa, they all have their momentz and each one of them is a savage in their craft, i swear man, at one point i thought they were about to creat fire on stage the way they were just jamming out Lol, intense. 3. The music of this game is just epic, those that cant see it dont have the brilliance to hear "EPIC" wether it be an 8-bit soundrack or a street performer in the subway. Most people need the "flashy lights" and expensiveley dressed douche bagz to tell them what is "Hip". 4. They played the entire musical workz of mega man 2 from cover to cover. In a non stop performance live just like a nes game would do. In short THIS WAZ AN INTENSE PERFORMANCE JAMMED PACKT WITH INCREDIBLE INTERPRETATIONS OF EVERY SINGLE 8 BIT TRACK OF ROCK MAN DUECE..

This NEEDS an album. ...because I need to have it.

[@thestaplesbros]

Minibosses walked, so these guys could freakin’ SPRINT FULL STEAM!!! Incredible and timeless experience, thank you Bit Brigade

[@quesder]

I respect the player the most. How could he be so confident that he would never die once?

[@SleepyReapy32]

Easy game on the easy difficulty setting.

[@TheEvathcebor]

@@SleepyReapy32 even so. That's something few people can do with confidence, if at all, for real.

[@SleepyReapy32]

@@TheEvathcebor I was a major dickhead for no reason 4 years ago. I still stand it's not at all hard to do especially if they had practice for this but I left sooo many stupid comments here

[@jmaurice]

This is arguably the best live performance of any video game music ever

[@modboy84]

Finding this is a real treat - this is awesome.

[@BabelRedeemed]

I've listened to the other versions of this on KZbin and just nothing compares with this one--I keep coming back to it (born 1981, by the way). The energy? The recording quality? Don't know, but something special happened this night.

[@user-kx6gz7rn6b]

으아.. 끝내주네요!!! ㅡ.ㅜ 한국에서도 이런 공연 보고 싶다..

[@danmatienzo6605]

The amount of time and effort it must have taken to learn every single part of each song... impressive. And they are spot on, too. Fucking awesome

[@victoriousvic9]

wow! I wish I was there, love these fans. I've watched over and over

[@ItsJustJimOkay]

Those bass slides during the Flash Man intro, I'm digging it

[@ColdBrew697]

For those who missed it, Bit Brigade came back to MAGFest 2019 and played Mega Man 2 again! Not only that, they had the composer of the game, Takashi Tateishi, come out on stage with them at the beginning of the show! kzbin.info/www/bejne/raq4m6xsr7Kjpac

[@rowan2069]

Damn, this guy has the best hype squad ever. An entire rock band plus an enthusiastic audience to watch him play megaman. Probably one of the best playthroughs of megaman anyone has had.

[@endofcentury7077]

10:39 is very nice and High Quality

[@abandonedchannel962]

10:32 WOOD MAAAAAYN

[@IgnatzKolisch]

This is absolutely staggering. There are so many superlatives and praise that could (and should) be heaped upon this phenomenal event... or maybe we should call it an ordeal! Part of me wonders how many total calories were burned in the making of this artistic performance.

[@monos33]

Great skills there! Those songs are timeless. TOTAL MAIDEN WORSHIP-MAKE MY DAY!

[@pype720]

Words cannot describe how amazing this is.

[@abandonedsunflowerfield6469]

This band is almost as precise as the dillinger escape plan. That's INSANE for a gaming cover band. Seriously good players.

[@murphvienna1]

Dancing with Ghosts brought me here. F****ING INCREDIBLE PLAYING ! You guys are living my dream!
