[@TheMartyODonnell]

I remember this. Happy 10th Halo 3!

[@FiShDiShFilms]

Martin O'Donnell will you ever sell the sheet music?

WE LOVE YOUUUU MARTINNNNNNN

[@savagemcflurry9082]

I started to well up watching this. The feels man! Marty you are a class act, and your music has brought joy to many a fans, we need you back!

[@GotYourWallet]

When they played the fanfare in yesterdays Halo Infinite trailer I was really moved.

[@CRISNCHIPS12398]

"It's not just some dude...." He is clearly a true Halo fan!

[@actually-will1606]

You could tell that so clearly when he said it

[@TheRafark]

He’s indeed a fan, that’s how you make good stuff, when you like what you do

[@SuperMrGodie]

1:00 No, Martin... we don't laught... we lived that moment.

[@exilezalama1685]

Man it's disappointing that bungie fired Marty, his music played a big role in the franchises success

[@TheRafark]

Absolutely. Halo couldn’t be so mystical and special without it’s absolutely fantastic music.

[@parthkhanolkar7916]

He just sent a farewell message today

[@exilezalama1685]

ya I noticed that too

[@drink_ayahuasca]

@@parthkhanolkar7916 yeah what is that about do you know??

[@Brovioli]

This man is a legend. I honestly consider him to be one of the greatest composers of all time. The way he references older melodies and just go all out with his writing. The music completely stands on its own without the game. But then when you include the game, it all comes together to form a true masterpiece. He is the only artist that can consistently give me goosebumps with just a single phrase on a piano.

[@CrashPlague]

lmao, "It's not just some dude" lol. But he really is a great composer.

[@DimseyOrDie]

This is one musical piece I will remember for my entire life.

[@quickscopeoneeighty9158]

Anyone else got goosebumps and tears in their eyes when he explained the Halo 2 "Epilogue" line? Marty is a genius.

[@Arnamoo]

This is what made halo games so awesome! You could HEAR the resemblence from the older titles in the newer ones :) and you were like "Oh my gawd I've goosebumps cause i know this one" :D

[@Andrizza]

Marty is amazing. He's free-form musical composition skills are just fantastic. The music from Halo 3, is just...just..."wow".

[@FuriousCouchSurfing]

Absolute musical genius. Hearing that makes me want to go play the game right now.

[@kevinarmes9804]

Wow, I saw this video over ten years ago and lost it, and I just found it again! I wish there were more of him playing his themes and explaining what he was thinking.

[@poultonboys3108]

I love that feeling of finding something you haven’t seen or heard in years

[@rizjumeer]

This guy is a legend! The Halo 3 soundtrack is truly an masterpiece!!

[@Sleazy7071]

Bros just casually making some of the greatest music of all time

[@stormvortex274]

1:06 That's not some random guy.... It's MASTER CHIEF🤤🤤

[@sam_sitayeb]

True inspiration right here.

[@ABrazilianDude]

Martin is my inspiration to make music, I was born too late to really experience the golden age of halo, I really only got glimpses, but after reconnecting with my interests 6-8 years ago, I’ve been playing, watching, reading, listening to everything halo, I truly believe, because of all the passion, hardship, and interest of the people behind the game, it has become the greatest game ever, I can’t think of something more interesting than halo, before I die, I want to meet marty, he really shaped me and developed my interests over these years.

[@Rowdy422]

Damn, talk about KZbin algorithms recommend resurrecting videos from the grave. This is ANCIENT in terms of internet years. Still as fantastic as the day it was released, I'm sure. I miss all the old hype Bungie Halo games had. All the H3 advertising should go into some historic cultural archive.

[@animeweebuwu8831]

Old times

[@Sabata890]

I actually thought the emotion and feeling he put in the music made the games really put you into the setting and direness of the game. He also seems like a good enough fellow too!!! Keep at it Marty!!!

[@Carlosk12]

This is so old but amazing, glad to see this in my suggestions

[@Jarbizu800]

When I watched it I wasn't like "Oh. Just some dude." I was like, "HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP MASTER CHIEF OH MY FREAKIN' LORD GOOD DAMN YES HALLELUJAH THE SECOND COMING! OF THE MASTER oh wait third coming of the Master Chief, but YES!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY SWEET!"

[@SirPickleworth]

marty O'Donnel, my friend you will live on on forever. remember reach, remember this man as a living legend

[@NoelleknowsMusicPortal]

Goosebumps and I love it so much. It was my first cover song put out. We love you

[@jmkproductions7292]

I need that sheet! XD

[@Goldex13]

"It's YOU! You're back!" ;D

[@TheFoxEssence]

And to this day. He’s not just some dude in a space suit making his way through the smoke. I love Marty.

[@kay_keik7842]

i like how marty incorporate music to set the tone and get that emotion from the player. very few games these days do this. its what makes the halo games feel more heroic and cinematic when they need to be. ive played god of war ragnarok because how epic and cinematic it is and not at one point did it ever make me feel the emotions that halo did with its soundtrack. the difference between a master and someone who doesnt understand the importance of music to set the tone

[@Therealmoseslupai]

This man really made my boyhood special with the music he’s composed… it’s amazing.👏🏿 god bless you

[@iratepirate3896]

I still get chills hearing that little chord structure

[@gabethebabe3337]

Back when Master Chief really was more than just some dude named John.

[@GustavoRodriguez-ec2md]

How I miss the art of this man in the modern halos!

[@StrifeA217]

Gaaa even to this day it really does make the hair on the back of my neck stand up and gives me chills. You have no idea.

[@DragoonMaster117]

Man it still makes every hair on my body rise... just those few notes

[@YureruKareru]

It’s not just some dude. Words to live by.

[@brezza6892]

Sending shivers down my spine just listening to this.

[@MrChampion]

Martin O'Donnell and Koji Kondo. Easily the greatest composers of our day.

[@Sscorponok]

0:27 for some reason i really want to learn how to play that little part.

[@E2master]

the halo series is not just great because of its plot/story, but also it's music, it makes it just.. EPIC :D thank you Martin, please continue with making awesome music!

[@angrymango4961]

Wow, Im watching this now

[@rammajhi2551]

Absolutely , absolutely in love

[@KirsiKitten]

Marty has more enthusiasm and passion in Halo than the entire studio of 343. Marty, you're a legend. 🧡

[@MiguelGarcia-vo1jo]

Halo was so many things for so many kids when it hit. I’m glad I was one of them.

Did he ever come?

[@armandoalcala9093]

Bro is running for Congress

[@DoctorJMcgee]

I don't know much about piano's since I'm a drummer, but I'm pretty sure it's an electronic piano of some sort because I know he plays the chorus that most people think is done by people, on that piano.

[@sssebs]

Martin O'Donnell is one of my favs

[@tamarinda334]

Hes old but hes still awsome hes songs he made are soo awsome! i like all of the songs he made!

[@LilAznMui]

beautiful sounding piano. I love it!

[@Staticbursts]

If your talking about the intro "chord," well it's not actually a chord it's just one note played at different intervals (E). I'm pretty sure he starts out playing them at 3 octaves apart but correct me if I'm wrong. Then after that he plays that little halo motif (E G F# D E) at one octave apart. Then...I'm not really sure...I play guitar not piano =(

[@donkeypire37]

I don't know why but i love this video so much

[@Lowrider46]

search thomas newman - ghosts, or for the danca/trance song: reflekt - need to feel loved

[@Journeydakyubi]

lol, "It's not just some dude,"

[@0cheeseballs0]

Just saw Marty play halo...greatest thing ever

[@Maikeuu]

@Taedran If he was to release his epicness into one song, the whole world would explode into pure energy known as awesomeness.

[@mjolner6792]

Masterpiece for a masterchief

[@Flatscores]

Every composer has something to him. Hes no diffurent. Perhaps without him we would never had this melody. Personally, I love this melody.

[@99clemsonfan]

@Chiken1012 its the first part of the song finish the fight.....if you havent figured it out yet.

wow he is so awsome i mean like seriously!!

[@sahelanthrope]

@Taedran Marty's got a classical composing repertoire more than anything. He is naturally more worried about excessive volume in his music. You probably won't hear Hans Zimmer or Two Steps from Hell from him, but it's great the way it is and you can't say it's not epic.
