[@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. I...can't...get...enough. good job a thousand times over dude. amazing

[@gyromurphy]

I wonder if the guy who originally composed the music for mega man games back then realized how epic his shit was..

[@SleepyReapy32]

It was multiple different people throughout the games. I forget the name but a girl did mm2s ost

[@darsure3006]

​@@SleepyReapy32 MM2 was composed by a man, Takashi Tateishi (credited as Ogeretsu Kun), with Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae (credited as Manami Ietel) co-composing a minor part of the melody for Air Man's stage. -from wiki (and also the credits on my OST files)

[@SleepyReapy32]

[@squido2.0]

Thats so funny to think about the fact that these osts were done in their free time

[@ffburger101]

The guy playing the game must have the most awesome MegaMan expeirence ever. A whole fucking band playing while you have to not die through each stage... damn bro so intense... so jelly

[@vargasparavicinijorgebenja479]

I was thinking the same, i really want to know what it feels

[@AxelAlexK]

I was wondering what they'd do if he messed up and died. I guess just restart the song, no big deal.

[@ReinEngel]

Speed running a game is one thing, but doing so with a band playing the soundtrack live as you do, while in front of hundreds, if not thousands, of people? That must be one hell of a nervous rush.

[@EitherWayAnyway]

Not to mention at several points he delayed so the song could finish. Always a privilege to see good Mega Man 2 play.

[@erick1255]

I thought this whole show was amazing until it clicked that there was someone in the background actually playing the game, AND the band was playing in sync with the game... then I was floored

[@himsayhimdo]

Yeah this is an amazing feat by everyone on stage. Fans should definitely save this video to their favorites.

[@nathanhexom6780]

This is pure Zen!

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

These kids have flawlessly beaten the game in question more times than politicians lie. They can do it flawlessly in their sleep.

[@MisterSame13]

Back in the 80's, do you think those Japanese realised that they were writing some really fine Iron Maiden - riffs?

[@keratacon]

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.

[@OKCoolRancher]

There's a reason he's called Rockman in Japan and other characters in the series are named with musical themes. It was all about the music.

[@vargasparavicinijorgebenja479]

Videogames and heavy metal, perfect combination

[@kazuhoshiinoue2695]

Well, Takashi Tateishi was tasked to write *cool* music for the soundtrack of Mega Man 2. Only Crash Man's stage music was the exception for being cheerful.

+ColdBrew697 I have to say from all video cover bands Bit Brigade just is the crème de la crème. Seriously love this performance. Huge fan of the NES compositions of the megaman series and other games of that age.Bit Brigade did all the best tracks in this performance from the Megaman series except for mm4 Skullman which I hope they'll incorporate too at some point.Truly wish they add the following to their repertoire: Megaman 4 - skullman Punch Out (NES) - Fight Theme Punch Out (NES) - Training Theme Double Dragon 2 Rush 'n AttackPretty sure it will rock :)

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.

Ms Majestic17 In a different video he does die, on quick man's stage he gets hit by the beams. They just play the levels theme until he's done, though i doubt he'd die more than a couple of times a gig. You see how he just plays with he final boss? Waiting for them to play enough of the tune. He's a Megaman champ :-)

Is it just me or does the 2nd Guitarist (The one who plays the harmony to the lead melody, sparkle finish) is actually miles better than the lead guitarist?

[@philipjohnson4094]

Yeah he is better - that's why they give him the harder rhythm parts on stuff like Bubble Man.

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

I was always a lead guitarist growing up and I can tell you that the rhythm guitarist is the unsung hero of fucking rock and roll and every type of other music. As a lead guitarist, you get to be the star with the solo, but without a solid backup a lead guitarist is just some asshole noodling about with the strings on stage. A band needs cohesion and talent from every section to be succesful. Anyone who says otherwise is just one of those prima-donna assholes who think everything hinges on their performance.

[@jamesjameson3771]

Lead guitarist has to play more compliucated stuff than the other one.

[@JayKaysian]

If you have no idea what you're talking about then don't comment. The "difficulty" of a song is subjective to the song. Just because the lead guitar is more "memorable" than the rhythm does NOT mean it's more difficult to play.

[@chuckobscure]

They both switch off playing lead and rhythm, anyone with eyes can see that.

+ChronozG I know, but he's taking little to no damage. I beat this game no problem, but it's not like I never took damage or died.

[@ChronozG]

Connor Kroening The damage part I agree on, taking barely any damage, but if you watch him carefully he's full on skipping most of the game, and I bet he plays this game out the ass so he knows the work a rounds. Not dying in this game is easy for me. Out of the first trilogy this is the easiest. I played this game about 4 months ago on the DS and I just killed it in about an hour. Now Mega Man 3, my favorite (I haven't played it in years) WOOOWEEEE! I was like how the fuck did this game get so hard? LOL!

No lie... It be badass to have a band play your game theme song during your gameplay. It may get loud but hell, you gotta feel the rush and the moment.

That's truly awesome. They must have some amazing stamina recovery, to be playing nearly an hour straight with only occasional short breaks when the stages are completed. Not only that, but the mere fact that they were able to stay in sync with each other so well. The gamer was also pretty good at Mega Man, definitely had some prior practice ;) Great job!!

[@nyanya660]

Madness...? THIS!IS!SPARTA!

[@sunstarrock6336]

Before? i mean i got here 2 years after you...

[@FaCt0r-X]

I never get tired of this!!

[@ngentenisopo]

Dude, this is 2018 and we still amazed by this megaman thing. 👍👍👍

[@Automat1cJack]

This is RAD AS FUCK =3

[@mimiikyu]

Agreed xD

[@Gyrbae]

Rad is the perfect word!

[@MelodiousIllumination]

They're all really good musicians. Get rid of the ads. for the experience

[@ruispuuro]

NERDS. in a good way:)

やはり音楽に国境は無いんだなあ・・・（名推理）。

日本人見つけたァァヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ やっぱロックマン最高ですねԅ( ิټ ิԅ)ｸﾞﾍﾍﾍ

[@davidgilbertson7750]

Still awesome in 2023 ... 8 bit FTW!

[@Meltedcheese567]

Huh, they switched to spark man from mega man 3 at 18:00

[@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.

[@fbomb7184]

Meanwhile when I was a kid, I would threatening my little bros life if he made one sound while was trying to jump the platforms. These nerds are legendary. Bravo nerds.

[@NikFarr]

I love that the drummer uses different snares/tunings depending on what game's soundtracks they're playing. The Ninja Gaiden one was a deep thud; this one is high pitched and tight. Both are the right choices for each soundtrack. Shit, man. What a player.

[@FranklinCotes]

❤ still here in 2023

[@afkbender3686]

2424 still here!!! The Decipticons have been butts, just Some Twobread Toms. At least Rockman will live, in our minds and hearts.

[@beckyzyvonoski7156]

Fact: Headbanging past a forty-five degree angle can cause brain damage. Another fact: It appears some people are immune to this, and have the opposite effect, as seen in example A. (What we are watching now.) I may have to look into this further, and watch more of these videos for 'research'. BONUS (PC only.): Go fullscreen. Type 'awesome'. Enjoy.

[@ilovesmosh2012]

THAT IS SO COOL I NEVER KNEW THAT I LOVE YOU.

What happens?

[@KimmoSavilampicomposer]

The BASS PLAYER does the groundWORK! Watching this 8 years later, this rocks! Thanks for giving my adhd a go!

[@sonicroze]

Most. Awesome. Let's Play. Ever. Why doesn't a metal band play for me when I do my games? :)

[@MrDarkDrum1]

I'm almost in disbelief that this was damn near 7 years ago. Thanks to the homies in Down In Front for allowing me to relive this night and get all nostalgic.

[@thedoogo3334]

DAMN that’s awesome you got to see this man! :D i bet it was one hell of a mega time (sorry for the pun lol)

[@midevalexponents2sqr]

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

[@switch158]

very rarely do I prefer live versions of music to studio versions, this is one performance I just dig for an indefineable reason though. I come back here once a week and listen through while writing DnD prep lol. The fast pace keeps my mind moving, and the lack of vocals makes it easier to focus than other music : )

[@RimshotsandNamaste]

I wish I had done that. I imagined myself doing that for several years. Leaves me with a weird feeling :/ ... That was crazy!

[@user-kx6gz7rn6b]

으아.. 끝내주네요!!! ㅡ.ㅜ 한국에서도 이런 공연 보고 싶다..

[@modboy84]

Finding this is a real treat - this is awesome.

[@Ironfootx1]

Their recorded album of this is just so watered down and weak. There's NOTHING like their liver performance energy. Reminds me alot of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His albums were so tame and lifeless. However, when you hear him perform live you're transported to another dimension of being.

[@abandonedsunflowerfield6469]

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

[@ragearoni]

I just wanna say this is the baddest shit I’ve ever seen. You guys are fucking amazing!!! And the homie PLAYING THE GAME is fucking crushing it too.!!!

[@UGF99]

2023 and this is still GREAT

[@widomaron5091]

Awesome !!! Genius, my all time favourite video game, uta como lo jugaba6os mi hermano y yo en un NES que teniamos, son una chingoneria de banda

[@krakelakclassic]

See that 1-up at 14:58? He tried to jump over it. Dude don't need any of that shit.

[@Jnky_cl]

where was this content that I did not find it before!!!!! Awesome!!!!! 😎

[@Magnero]

I want a studio recording of this as an album. Vinyl would be right.

[@MrTheSaxon]

They actually have an album you can buy :D

[@MrTheSaxon]

www.hellosirrecords.com/contraband.html ^^

[@GForce9x]

It's also available on the Google Play and Amazon Music stores. I'd assume it's also on itunes as well.

[@johnarenee6781]

@@MrTheSaxon thanking you from the year 2020 cuz I just bought that whole album💕💕💕

[@c.b.8193]

this is amazing.... Can I maybe use parts of this for background music if i ever get to finish this sketch and do a speedpainting / tutorial vid??? wootkr.deviantart.com/art/Sketch-At-Work-no-4-639684163

[@vinijam1]

36:25 = best part .

[@tannerdukes8690]

They put a lot of work in this and they see a 9y old vibing to it

[@victoriousvic9]

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

[@rubenabrego6762]

Freakn awesome guys!!! I definitely want to do this one day as I am a drummer and a a gamer born in good ol 1980 🤟✌️

[@monos33]

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

クリア出来ないで永遠に演奏し続ける世界線も見てみたくなる。

[@lddestroier814]

Name one other game for, say, the Playstation 3 or 4/Xbox 360 or One that has as good music as this game. Just one.

[@surfingonluck5976]

+Evan Theilig yea theres... uh.. ooh and theress... uhhhh.. yea your right. but really i agree with u

[@Eshmasesh671]

+Evan Theilig idk about as good as but Halo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Transistor have soundtracks that I adore.

[@sgtpepper91]

+Evan Theilig MGS and final fantasy games

[@ricardomauricioaraya7625]

+Evan Theilig there are a few, God of War, Gears of War and the Arkham series just to name a few, but to be honest, none as good as this!!!

[@lddestroier814]

Oh, well those don't count, as they fit the criteria of the question perfectly.

[@steggisawrus]

They needed to properly start the show by first blowing on the game cartridge before inserting it i to the game console 😄
