[@majesticpbjcat7707]

This was an excellent video/tribute. Sorry for your loss. Cheers from your rainy neighbor city to the south!

[@Astral_Guitar]

Such a good video man. I appreciate your openness and the intimacy behind it. Super cool you were brave enough to put it out to the world.

[@Kmac2021]

Amazing video, man. Thanks for sharing

[@itaxevasixn8808]

Okay this is epic

[@gordo970]

This was very touching, truly a beautiful tribute to your father Dean.

[@CoreyAllgood]

If there’s an afterlife, he’s very proud of you, I’m sure. Wether or not there is, I’m also sure that he always was. Sorry for the loss, Dean. Thanks for sharing this.

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for watching bud, and the kind message.

[@johnevered9640]

“I wasn’t always there when he needed me, but he knew I loved him” as someone who just lost their father last month, this line killed me and honestly, it’s the first time I’ve cried at all since my father passed. Beautiful video and sick playing at the end 10/10

[@DeanLamb]

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for watching.

[@SlamminBranden]

Thanks for sharing Dean. I lost my father when I was 20, and my mother when I was 34. I'm now 38. No siblings, No family of my own, just me and the world. Well me and my puppers. It can be hard sometimes, but I try to make the best of things.

[@sleepinthemorningcalm]

Hope you’re finding joy where you can. I’m 27 and just lost my mother this week unexpectedly.

[@Dan16673]

Lost my mom at 37 still hurts

[@pi9152]

Even if it's 3 years ago. Feel hugged my man. You're doing great and I hope your fine and full of joy in life.

[@waldre999]

Dean this hit home hard... My dad just died in June... He also got me into Musik in the first place. Made me a guitar player and with that made me find about you... He who never listened to metal or even tech death.. But when I showed him your band and especially you I could tell that he understood immediately what makes me love your band so much... He understood faar beyond his own taste.. And I loved this Aspekt of him. It made me wanna understand way more things than I was into... To our dads! Greetings from Germany. Stay save!

[@DeanLamb]

Wow, thank you for sharing that. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@blender3935]

Sorry homie, my dad passed back in November, this kind of broke me

[@KeithMerrow]

Big love on this one my man!

[@MarStacey]

This arrangement, with the melody, countermelody, and underlying chord structure, reminds me of both Bach and of Emperor... Cool as hell.

[@sleepinthemorningcalm]

Just lost my sweet sweet amazing mother two days ago unexpectedly. Coming to this video for comfort. I watched it a while ago. Never thought it would be relatable. I wish it wasn’t but thank you for making it Dean. Hope you guys come to Edmonton again soon

[@northernlefty5412]

I lost my dad to brain cancer 11 years ago when I was 22 years old. I've missed him every day and still do. Having gone through my own serious health issues, all I can say is make sure to cherish both yourself and your loved ones because inevitably, we all experience the cruelty of our existence.

[@DeanLamb]

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for watching and sharing this with me.

[@ViktorHansen23]

I wish your dad could've heard Drain of Incarnation. So much emotion in the song. And the intro is kinda like Stairway almost.. Love you Dean, Thank you for this video.

[@DeanLamb]

Geeze, alright way to compare it to his favorite song and hit me in the feels unexpectedly. Lol

[@longcrab]

It takes courage to share something this intimate with the internet. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming story Dean.

[@andrewgiovannini3382]

Need to call my old man. Thanks for sharing Dean. You're really someone to be proud of. Also that cover was the coolest way to end a touching tribute.

[@NRGZX6R]

Never forget that time lost is time you cant get back. Make that call! 👊

[@gummymetal8084]

These types of things are often impossible to express. Beautiful from start to finish.

[@mountainmanmusic3846]

Been an aide for 25 years. I saw this so much. Beautiful video man!

[@metallersai]

The audacity to face the real is something else, respect for you brother.

[@OHBJJ9634]

I struggled to not cry dean. Thank you for showing us this

[@greglane334]

This hit me in the feels so hard. I lost my dad earlier this year,he was also in a care home due to Alzheimer's. Unfortunately he was so far away we couldn't visit very often. I know exactly what you mean when you mean when you said your dad was basically a shadow of his former self. Sorry for your loss Dean,your dad is proud of you wherever he may be

[@kylebaffi841]

He seemed like a cool fella. I'm glad he was able to create such a sick guitar player who inspires and seems like a down to earth dude. He shall forever walk with you throughout your trials, tribulations and success. May he never be forgotten but also rest easy :) 💚

[@kam8556]

Wow. Thank you for sharing this Dean. Wholesome and heartbreaking. It was a bit of a shock seeing inverse Dean - long hair and no beard - at 4:58 too.

[@Ddarke11]

The always amazing What We Do in the Shadows look!

[@ChooRoo]

You have a knack for story telling. This was tragic yet beautiful. Never stop rocking. Much love from Australia.

[@thedarksun86]

Hey, Dean. *hugs Dean very tight*. Thank you for sharing, just today I called my parents to tell them I love them, no reason, just because. We are so lucky to spend time with our loved ones and cherish their memories when they are gone.

[@SarcasmIsMyGame_]

My mom was first diagnosed with dementia about 10 years ago and now with Alzheimers. Watching a loved one fading away is absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you so much for sharing Dean. I appreciate you.

[@marinajeanlamb]

What a nice tribute to your dad Dean....he was a lovely man. Cheers, your cousin Kevin’s mom, Marina

[@JustiJinx]

I’ve never played wizardry but I keep coming back to listen to the title screen cover again and again. I’ve even started listening to the original music and I’m considering picking up the game. What an amazing tribute.

[@WeAllFloatHere]

Man when you started playing and it hit me that you took the time to learn all of the layers of that video game song it damn near brought me to tears. I was not ready for this video. I loved every second of it though. My Dad is in his 70's but still going very strong. He helped me build a crazy guitar collection from a young age that I most definitely didn't deserve to have and always supported everything I do. I can't imagine the pain of losing him. I'm sorry for your loss, Dean. He sounded like he was one hell of a guy. He would be so proud of the career you've made and the talent that you've showed the world. Keep doing what you're doing, and you know he's smiling right along with you! Much love and respect

[@gioledda145]

Here I was thinking I couldn't be more moved when you bust into the theme song... So impactful. So beautiful. Sorry for your loss man.

[@TaylorDanley]

Dean. I started following your channel after corona. My band was scheduled to open for Archspires portland date in March, and I found out you were a KZbinr after it cancelled from the promoter. This video was something else. I'm so moved by your story, and how well you presented it. It really hit me in the feels and made me wonder how my son will remember this time when he grows up. Hopefully as fondly as you remember your childhood with your Dad. I'm sorry for your loss, but am happy you found someone who shares your Dads love of LOTR! Keep up the great videos! 🤘🤘🙌

[@ENPZR]

That was a great video, man! It might not be the same. But, I used to play that game a lot with my best friend, who passed away 4 years ago. This game just has great memories for everyone. I love you, your music, and your videos. Can't wait to see you guys live again.

[@sinsidious6663]

Dean you are inspirational to me as a guitar player. My dad was an alcoholic growing up and thankfully has been 11 years sober. I’m now 30 and have 3 little boys of my own, my first being when I was 21 and my dad and I never got along because of how he was as I grew up. Sure I have some great memories laying on his chest watching bravos and butthead as he would collapse from stumbling in drunk, but a good memory of me and him nonetheless because I was with him. When my first was born he was so excited and different, and me being an ass I told him (still bitter about my teenage years) I promise I’ll never be like you were to my son, I will stay sober and I’ll be there for him always. My dad smiled and said good, I’m gonna hold you to that as long as I live. I cried. The man I was still bitter towards admitted his past mistakes and found peace with the fact he failed in one aspect or another, but it was a win for him to know that I knew better than he was because he gave me an example of what not to be. We are now best of friends and he even plays guitar with me. Because of your video I will tell him how much I love him and how thankful I am to still have him around. Thanks for sharing dean, your dad sounds like he was an awesome guy and I will forever be thankful for this one video. Hope you read this to know my appreciation for you and Archspire as a whole. 🤘🏻 for you and and everyone else that has or had a rockin ass dad!!

[@davehall6270]

A tough watch, like many of the other people commenting here I also lost my father to early onset dementia after heart surgery. Thank you for creating a gentle tribute to your Father, I hope it's brought you some comfort to know how it's touched many people. Xx

[@toemasmeems]

Must not cry ugh my dad hasn’t been the same after his stroke. So glad I found this channel.

[@AZ-uq7kn]

Thanks for sharing this story Dean. I have some similar stories about playing Super Mario World and Battletoads, watching Fellowship of the Rings in the theater, etc. but with my mom. I know what you mean about seeing a parent as strong, sometimes invincible, when you're young but seeing them get more frail as you both get older. My mother just had a (hopefully her last) bypass surgery and I've been blessed to be in a place in my life where I can be there to support her while she regains her strength and transitions back to who she was. It's great to reflect back on some of the early memories, both good and bad, that we've had to see how we've shaped into who we are today.

[@Subj3kt1]

You and Claire were already my new favorite people, but that was beautiful. I hope you're proud of what you've become, because your Dad certainly would be. I'm as impressed by your playing as the next person, but I'm impressed by your strength of character too. You rule. Keep making me want to practice and quit at the same time :)

[@timcarstensen9951]

Duuuuude, unintentional ASMR telling of a truly beautiful story. You did the story justice with this video quality! Thank you for sharing.

[@treewisemenllc7281]

Don't think for a second, your dad wouldn't be proud of you, Dean. This was very heartfelt an well put together. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to hug my kids now. 🥲

[@johnmoussette3472]

Really great video about your dad, My dad was also born in 1958 and he passed away in 2017 from lung/brain cancer.. As bad as it was to watch him fall apart right before my eyes we always have the good memories. It's never easy losing a parent and it stays with you forever.

[@thekimchii]

Just discovered your channel a few days ago and this video came out of nowhere. Beautifully done.

[@MaikiRiot]

I lost my father a couple years ago. I think about him all the time. In everything I do. I know hes up in Gods tavern now probably thinking about me too. Thanks for sharing this, brother. It was beautiful and I'm sure your father is very proud of you.

[@KirbyStephen]

I'm not crying. You're crying. Thanks for sharing Dean. This is a beautiful video.

[@LarryLooseman]

Dude, you're so well spoken without it feeling like you're trying to impose your intelligence on anyone. What an absolute dreamboat.

[@johnbeard7252]

Dude. I can't quite express how beautiful this video is. Thank you. Love you, Dean.

[@ericmiller74]

Sorry for your loss Dean. I think I'm going to call my Dad today. I'm SURE he would be very proud of you and would love Claire too.

[@IngleArf]

As someone who lost their dad to early onset Alzheimer’s 2 years ago this hit hard. A lot of your experience mirrors mine. Great tribute to your dad man. Much love ❤️❤️❤️

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for watching :)

[@cotomaznaczyc]

Damn, I felt things. As someone who has a parent with Alzheimer's, watching this helped make me feel not alone in my struggle. That's a great tribute to your father. Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing.

[@MajorBruno]

Both a triumphant and somber moment, hearing you cover that song at the end. Thanks for sharing this with us ❤️

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheTheoryWizard]

This hit hard Dean. Thank you for sharing so much. I lost my father in 2018 to GBM and he slipped mentally until he was unable to recognize me. My father shared Sci-Fi and Rush with me, all things music, and all things nerdy. I would give up everything I could for one more day with him. Thank you again for sharing Dean.

[@SHINTA1035]

Fantastic video. Lost my father in 2013 to cancer and watched him go with my sister. Keep it up Dean.

[@GraemePuttock]

I'm not crying, it's just been raining...on my face. Thanks for sharing man, thanks for all your amazing content and worldview, and thanks to your dad for his influence in that.

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

Very well put together. Thank you for the insight. I'm sure your father is very proud. Now we see where you get your chiseled features. Amazing rendition of the Wizardry theme.

[@raynerdandot9673]

Wow... this is one the best videos i ever watch on youtube... you managed to capture the melancholy of losing a father in a short video and make it beautifully haunting.

[@Andrewjbrock]

Oh man what a tribute! I too lost my father who was diagnosed with early dementia but then died of a stroke last year. I remember when I was like 12 he bought me my first guitar and a tape of yngwie malmsteen, he certainly influenced my love for music and the outdoors. Was fun showing him modern tech death and all the modern insane heavy shit that exists today he dug some of it also. I’ll miss him forever but I’m eternally grateful I got to have him for as long as I did. Love the vids! Can’t wait for the next album you seem like a gem of a man and I’m sure your father would be so proud of what u have done!

[@Tourian82]

Wow man, nice video about your dad. Mine passed away when I was 19, it was abrupt, so I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. Thanks for sharing bro, I'm sure our dads are proud of our accomplishments!

[@jaket1501]

♥️ I lost my dad in 2019. He had his own health problems that took him. My dad always seemed larger than life to me as well. I watched him pass on, and I thought the exact same thing you said. His character was gone. This video really touched my heart. I feel for you man. Thank you for sharing.

[@adorethered]

Thanks for sharing this, my father got me into gaming an guitar as well. He passed a few years back of cancer. This reminded me of me and him playing Mario, and watching him play old country tunes on guitar when he thought nobody was looking.

[@Arazmithin]

I lost my Grandmother to alzheimers earlier this year. She passed at home in the night. I picked up guitar for the second time, and found you on youtube. Thanks for being inspiring in more ways than one Dean. Any father would be proud, I know yours was.

[@tairi4118]

What a beatiful story!!, you have the same face and energy of your father!! Greetings and respect from México my man!!

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

This is an absolutely tear jerking, yet amazing/heart warming video. I lost it when you started playing guitar! I'm so glad I found your band and your KZbin channel, brother.

[@joshalicea9870]

I lost my father earlier this year. He was honestly my biggest motivation to play guitar. I wanted him to see my progression through the years . This definitely hit me. I’m sorry for your loss dean. ❤️❤️

[@DeanLamb]

Thank you for your thoughts, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Losing family members is always tough.

[@ichbinkyle]

Very poetic man, I’m sorry to hear this story, but it was a beautiful tribute❤️ R.I.P. Mr. Lamb🤘🏼

[@ElvisBrown]

Thank you for your video. It's 2am here and i'm crying. Your video gave me so much joy. I just remembered my times with my dad playing master system. I lost him to soon, around when i was 10 years old and those times with him, playing many games, Alex Kidd, California Games, Shooting Gallery etc. Damn. So good. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@adityap8746]

Absolutely beautiful tribute! Thank you for sharing, Dean!

[@sleepymetalhead7536]

This hit way to hard in the feels my dads recovering from getting a brain tumor removed and let me tell you for a couple days I was so scared I was gonna lose him and so this video probably got me a bit more than it would have. Absolutely beautiful video rest in peace Mr. Lamb

[@KirbyKuehl]

Thanks for sharing. I lost my father recently, and my mother is suffering from Alzheimer's so this caught me in the feels.

[@balazs919]

If He could see what you've done and accomplished since those 6 years and what He'd seen before, I'm 100% certain that He was and He would be very proud of you Dean! Thank you for sharing this with us, much love!

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks! :)

[@AGore88]

To say this was a touching video would be an understatement, and reading through the comments with the outpour of people sharing their own experiences and how this video touched them is heartwarming. I'm not an exception, my father had a stroke 10 years ago that left him with brain damage and memory loss, and actually changed his personality quite a bit. He lives with 24 hour nurse care and can't do nearly anything he used to. I struggle when I see him because he's so different, and even after 10 years I can't get used to the fact that my father is gone but still here. I totally relate with the escapism to try and not think about the situation, and your video along with all the positive comments really has me thinking about my situation with dad and how much I love and am afraid to inevitably lose him. "I wasn't always there for him, but he knew I loved him" is such an important sentiment that's resonated with me and so many others here. Sorry for the wall of text, but Thank you so much for making this video Dean, and thank you everyone commenting with support and sharing their own relationships with their dad, It's a huge help.

[@Dyvon.dynamo]

I'm a single father right now dealing with racial insurrection and possible cancer reeling from a year of losing so many myself then I hear you and your wonderful rememberance of your Zordon and you too have powerful memories for better or worst about him. I just hope my kids in even his small amount of time know there is nothing I wouldn't do for them and the deep fear as a father they won't know. Thank you so much for this

[@bungdilly6333]

This hits home, I lost my mom when I was 21 (in 2014 as well) and like you said at the end, there isn't much I wouldn't give even to have just a few moments with her again. Take care brother, your Dad would be super proud of you!

[@johnnielsen82]

His best lives in you. Thanks Dean, lovely.

[@frankies.4500]

Thank you for sharing this very personal part of your life. As a father I can only hope to leave such a lasting impression on my children.

[@someonesusingmyname]

Been a fan of yours and a watcher of the channel for a long time, but this just popped up in my suggestions for the first time. I lost my mom in 2014 as well and just hearing your stories made me miss her even more. Much love to you and the memory of your dad.

[@garrettboomerbender]

Thank you for sharing this Dean. My grandfather is going through the later stages of Alzheimer's and it is heartbreaking seeing somone who've known since you were born deteriorate into something that doesn't even resemble the person you once knew. Sometimes we talk about his favourite music and the time he spent in Germany serving for the Army and we still occasionally play guitar together. Even though we play drastically different from each other it is so amazing and enjoyable to see his eyes light up when we play. It's like he becomes a completely different person and it is something I will never forget. I try to visit him as often as I can but it is honestly very hard because sometimes he catches himself repeating the same questions. Again thank you for sharing this amazing memory and story with us Dean and keep in mind that your father is always with you.

[@broncoxy]

What a story man... And an amazing tribute you played! Thats one of the weirdly beautiful things the internet brings with its nature: Although I don't really know you and live on a completely different continent, speak another language and have other memories, I did feel this video and I was able to get a glimpse of someones life, a little impression so to speak, and it really moved me... You can really be proud of yourself and your father would be too! For him, this soundtrack probably meant a lot too ^^ Keep up the great work!

[@verstamp]

This was very powerful. I’m going to call my Dad tomorrow. Thanks for sharing Dean.

[@jamesshaffer206]

Nice story. Great job with the music. I remember our first video game also but was even more primitive in the early eighties . My dad never gave much time to games but he was many a man to me. I miss my dad too. RIP dad.

[@TheDraconianParadise]

I was glad I discovered your music. The last months I am also glad to discover your channel and get to know you through your videos. Drinks to you and your awesome dad.

[@SlapMyBass3825]

I sent this to my father and he started crying tears of joy. This video hit super close to home since my dad and I always bonded over playing Mario Kart and he was the one who got me my first guitar, which I have recently given back to him.

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@drifter61]

This made me fucking cry. Makes me think of my dad. I'm sorry Dean. This was touching, and heartbreaking. Love you dude.

[@corycourtney8923]

This was a heavy watch and I appreciate you sharing something this personal.

[@MetalManiacMetalManiac]

Dean you got me in tears man..I never got the chance to meet my father before he passed,definitely hold on to your memories and may they be inspiration for the years to come.

[@rockerex]

This is one of the most beautiful videos i have watched. What a wonderful tribute to your father. Im sure your father is incredible proud of you.

[@oliviabrigittewalton8496]

Absolutely beautiful video Dean, such an incredible tribute to your Dad 👌😍😍

[@nathanSr92]

This hit home more than I'd like to admit but you're brave and I have so much respect for you for sharing that dude. My father was a gamer himself and when he come back from a few days of trucking on the road he'd always come into my room, grab my Nintendo 64 and take it downstairs and we'd play ocarina of time a lot. I lost my father in 2001 due to type 4 cancer but I'll always cherish the memories of him.

[@JasstoJazz420]

Thank you for sharing..... I wish I was closer with my father.

[@okayguitarplayer]

This was awesome, Dean. Thank you for sharing... It hit me super hard. I've been trying to become closer to my dad of late.

[@chuckychuckerson2852]

Dean, I sincerely believe that your Dad would be proud of you. Not just for what you've accomplished, but he'd be proud his son for marrying such a kick-ass woman like Claire! Because, above everything else, I believe that he would want his son to be happy. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us, Brother..Hope you and yours are well, take care.

[@JohnWL]

Really well done. A fitting tribute. We all need stuff like this to remember how precious life is.

[@andylawrence8778]

Thank you for sharing something so personal. Was a very touching and beautiful video. My father passed away suddenly almost 2 years ago and I miss him every day. Metal was and is still very much a part of my healing process. Your father will be proud of you.

[@shakram2774]

Holy shit, I almost ended up crying. The way you narrated the whole thing felt like it was my own life experience. Rest easy Papa Dean🙏

[@neilryan1782]

Beautiful tribute my friend he would be proud. Love from Ireland

[@DeanLamb]

Hello from Canada :) thanks for watching

[@FCdrums]

This hit hard Dean. Thank you for sharing your tribute to your father, was suppose to see my father this weekend but could not because of covid and having to be quarantined for two weeks when he got back. Unfortunately, you can't go two weeks without in the state of California (too expensive). But again, thank you Dean.

[@MetalheadMike99]

I unliked this video several times just so I could keep re liking it. Thank you for sharing your father's story. Really opens incite to your being. Personally makes me as a fan feel closer to you. Its a good thing.

[@elijahharris9706]

I’m glad u trusted us to open up to. I’m sorry for ur loss man this makes me more thankful to have a father.

[@noodleface484]

My father got me into both video games and guitars as well. My intro game was Phantasy Star 1 for the Sega Master System, another RPG. I have such a fondness towards that game knowing it was the game "dad got me into." Now I have a son that's around the same age as I was, 5, and he's starting to play games with me. All I can hope is he too remembers the good times with dad.

[@elgoogkcuf]

ive watched this video once a day for like the last 3 days. God that ending gets me.

[@DeanLamb]

Hey, thanks for watching :)

[@danielnelson4881]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Rest in peace Bruce

[@GabesGuitarGeekery]

May he forever rest in peace in heaven, safe and happy with God. Such a touching tribute. I understand the part about Alzheimer's as my grandmother had a really advanced version of it when I was in grade 6, and it was painful to visit because I never knew who she really was, because all the time I spent with her was when she was afflicted with dementia. I wish I had known her when she was unaffected.

[@dalexmaccuish]

Beautiful , eloquent, and very touching. Thank you for sharing this story.

[@wolfofmollysfall6668]

My heart goes out to you Dean. I'm sincerely sorry for you loss. My grandma got Alzheimer's when I was around the same age. Watching her transform was very tragic and I'll never forget it. Keep on rocking bro and always look to the good times. Cheers man
