[@awildserah]

Vocals in GG songs weren't really a thing until Xrd/GG2, but Strive really embraced the "everyone has a theme song" style that I feel like has been a boon. Sometimes I'd like to have off vocal versions for in game combat, though.

[@Medinaxz]

Holy Orders would like a word with you. But seriously, they didn't really get heavy into lyrics until Xrd.

[@StarfieldDisarray]

I always wish for a vocal-less version of Requiem, although I still love it anyway.

[@pian-0g445]

@@StarfieldDisarray honestly, some of the tracks, a lot of them, have really sick instrumental parts and I want more of them

[@vincentpey3929]

@@StarfieldDisarray requims riff is sick af but sadly not as pronounced with vocals

[@demoniac4821]

We don't talk about vocal's L.A version.

[@mummyheadGamma]

As for Daisuke’s influences and inspirations, he wears them on his sleeve. Every music reference you see in the Guilty Gear series are bands and songs that have influenced him in some way. Hell, even the vocalist is a win for Daisuke as that’s Naoki Hashimoto, lead vocals for a Japanese band called Outrage. In GG’s story, there is a weapon called the Outrage which has major story relevance. Although perhaps Daisuke’s biggest influence is Freddie Mercury and Queen. The main character, Sol Badguy, is basically a walking Queen reference.

[@Eragonnogare]

I think you mean "Fredrick" - that being Sol's canonical actual name lol.

[@mummyheadGamma]

@@Eragonnogare Frederick Bulsara, no less. A combination of the unshortened form of Freddie and Mercury’s last name by birth before he legally changed it.

[@KaiserXfull]

Finally a Ky theme from Guilty Gear! The name of the character who owns the song already have reference to the vocalists of Helloween (Ky =Kai Hansen, Kiske = Michael Kiske) and his previous theme "Holy Orders" also share that power metal vibe. I hope someday you could react to that song too!

[@falcedacciaio]

It also has the riff of Holy Horders here and there like at 2:22

[@nachot6592]

FINALLY. This theme is for a character named after members of the band "Helloween" and his super is called "Ride the Lightning". All of the characters are a bunch of references to rock and heavy metal thrown in together.

[@wolfan20]

If you put a metal detector close to a guilty gear game, it might explode.

[@eltanodelcassa]

Holy shit, I didn't know that was the origin of Ky's name. It's such an awesome reference!

[@wolfan20]

Yeah, Ky's name comes from Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen from the band Halloween. His original name holy orders (be just or be dead) is based on iron maiden's song be quick or be dead. As Op said, his super ride the lightning is based on one of metallica's album, his instakill is based on swedish rocker Yngwie J. Malmsteen's band of the same name. Finally his original uniform had a carving with the word HOPE in it, this is a reference to iron maiden's song revelation and putting more on Sol's rivalry "Ablaze with hope and free".

[@lizabeth529]

@@wolfan20 he still has "hope" in ride the lightning

[@sharzinlalebazri5673]

Fun fact: The riff that is very prevalent in the guitar solo is from "Holy Orders" and that riff is the only one to have appeared in EVERY mainline Guilty Gear game. The first game was Guilty Gear the Missing Link and it had a bunch of banger themes, the next game, Guilty Gear X, remastered most of the songs from Missing Link and gave a few of the characters like Axl brand new themes. Holy Orders was one of the songs that just got remastered. The next game (Guilty Gear XX) did not change any of the themes for existing characters. The game after that was Guilty Gear 2 Overture, that game had only two playable characters from previous games (Sol and Ky) and they both got remixes of their themes, for Ky, this was a more orchestral version of Holy Orders. The next game, XRD, however, was like the great purge for the songs. Every character got a brand new theme with brand new riffs and melodies. And while Ky's new theme (Magnolia Eclair) did not have any trace of Holy Orders, if you play as or against Ky, he can be damaged enough to undo his ponytail and let his luscious hair out, and that would automatically change the BGM to Overture's version of Holy Order. Strive also gave everyone brand new themes but as I said in the beginning, the main riff of Holy Order survived as the solo for Roar of the Spark.

[@JPGameStuffs]

As I'm listening to the song, i completely geeked out hearing the Holy Orders riff in there haha

[@zero-one2585]

Fun fact the holy orders riff is actually based off of rising force

[@AveryCubed]

It's funny you mention Testament, because there is a character in this franchise named Testament and their theme: Like a Weed, Naturally, as a Matter of Course. is a certified banger song

[@drkillenger5564]

Guilty Gear didnt get me into metal, metal got me into Guilty Gear (I was 14 and I saw there was a character literally just named "Slayer" and I was sold 😅). But I DID discover a number of metal bands/musicians over time through references to them in the game. Testament, Helloween, Venom, Edguy, Judas Priest, and randomly Frank Zappa are all things I probably never would have listened to if not guided to them from GG.

[@joh李中松]

The 4:02 riff is a call back to Ky's original theme holy orders... epic

[@lordkanti8260]

Always get chills when that riff comes. So much nostalgia and memories in these songs.

[@RenwallZocalo]

That riff when the vocals start the first time is my absolutely favorite part of the song. If I didn't enjoy other characters so much more than Ky, I would probably main him just for the song.

[@nachot6592]

I main Millia, but I enjoy playing against Ky players online because the probability of listening to his theme is high haha.

[@jacobpamplin6449]

One thing I love about Strive's music is that each theme sounds like it was written by the character, and for the character. There's a lot of lines that don't make logical sense but the emotions come through plain as day. Really goes with the whole "carve your own path" idealogy that Guilty Gear has.

[@onerice3392]

Funnily enough those "ride" sounds you hear in the bridge to the chorus (I saw you air drumming) are the witchcraft of Daisuke where he does a really weird harmonic of the note C and the same goes with the very high-pitch stuff you might hear in the song. This is perhaps on of my top 3 favorite Guilty Gear Strive song, I loved watching your reaction.

[@Oathkeeper0317]

Mirror of the World! Mirror of the World! Oh man seeing you get all hyped over Strive stuff is really nice.

[@Jelly.D.Jiggler]

An inspiration I don't see a lot of people bring up is the manga series Bastard, which, much like Guilty Gear, is an over the top story with magic and demons and century long wars and such. Its an old manga from the 80s and it makes as many if not more allusions to metal music than Guilty Gear. The main character is a wizard named Dark Schneider after Udo Dirkschneider from Accept (which is also the name of a spell in the series), hell almost every attack in the whole series is just a direct reference to a metal band or song: Megadeth, Helloween, Venom, Judas Priest, etc, not to mention the main setting is the Kingdom of Metallicana, and the main villain being a giant demon god named Anthrasax. Daisuke's mentioned that he read Bastard in Shonen Jump growing up and that it directly inspired a lot of things about Guilty Gear. If anyone's interested in checking it out, there's actually a pretty new Netflix anime adaptation that has 2 seasons thats rather faithful to the original, though of course I highly recommend reading the translated manga if you've got the conviction to go out there and do so (though it can get rather 18+ at times so be warned lol)

[@Zeradias]

Some of GG Strive's songs are some of the tragic things u hear if you know GG character lore. Roar of the Spark is Ky's theme which more or less touches on his moral dilemma after fighting gears to then fall for and marry a hybrid(Dizzy) to then have a hybrid son(Sin), iirc GG Lore buffs correct if im wrong. Hellfire, Alone Infection, Armor-clad Faith & Requiem are by far my favorites

[@XernuhtZwei]

You got most of it, but there's also the parts near the end where, much like in late-Xrd and Strive, he resolves to blaze the trail to a better future for Man and Gear alike. Gods, I love this song.

[@Who_is_Ari]

I feel its also on the fact that Ky is an idealist but even after being disillusioned with the government after everything in XX, Overture, and Xrd, he still wants to forge a new path according to his beliefs and be someone that others can look up to

[@stringbones9360]

I'd love for him to figure out what Hellfire's lyrics mean :D

[@Zeradias]

@@stringbones9360 right?!

[@boxtupos7718]

Yea, he's the best Gear killer during the war; But ends up getting saved by Sol (A Gear) and falling in love with Dizzy (A Gear). Right now he is a gear and a king, it's why he is trying to keep moving forward on this song.

[@roanstreet9307]

I love this theme so much, very glad your reacting to it, a another theme i think you would like is "Let me carve your way" which is zato one's theme (btw keep up the great contant!)

[@valtaroy3546]

Yesss, Guilty Gear has so much good tracks like Ride the Fire!, Mirror of the World, Django django, Sky Should Be High, etc. I never get tired of listening to these, and i'm not even that big of a rock fan

[@vittoriogambanonimo9803]

Can’t wait for Millia’s theme “love the subhuman self”, it’s probably my favorite theme in ggst

[@rubo8925]

This and break a spell are my favourites. This music gets under your skin, at 1st you’re like lol this Japanese rock sounds kinda funny… then you’re listening to it walking your dog and not sure what happened in between. Cool content man, subbed!

[@alejandrogomez1698]

I love the entire strive soundtrack. For the full experience I would recommend watching a video that has the lyrics though.

[@audreyii5087]

GG didn't get me into metal, but being a fan of metal in middle school, the GGXX soundtrack got me into Guilty Gear and fighting games lol. It was specifically Slayer's theme "Haven't You Got Eyes In Your Head?", which is real smooth and novel. Love this series, and love your channel. Good stuff dude!

[@stellamarie32]

This game absolutely got me into Metal - having songs linked to characters whose lyrics I can analyze for extra character depth (songs like Hellfire, Mirror Of The World, Roar of the Spark, etc.) can really convey things that you don't get just form character quotes or even story. Getting me into the mindset of analyzing the lyrics and the emotion, absolutely hooked me and got me into appreciating Metal as a genre. The "cheesiness into dope", transcends into almost awesome Camp? Like it wraps around and becomes awesome and exciting due to how wholly into it Daisuke is. Something g to keep in mind is that Japanese media tends to emphasize raw emotion - screams, reactions, etc. - over a "realistic or grounded performance", which translates really well into Metal from what I understand, being a newcomer.

[@Sekainoowaride]

So most, about 80% of the music Daisuke Ishiwatari makes for games is Metal but they're a few outliers, which I hope you will soon hear. Another Composer that is very inspired or "hides" metal in his music is surprisingly Nobuo Uematsu! You haven't heard too much of his Heavy Songs, but for example, "Howl of the Departed" which you reacted to awhile back was Composed by Nobuo Uematsu.

[@pimentx3253]

I never knew Nobuo was one of Daisuke's inspirations, but that makes so much sense..

[@lolasian1016]

Honestly all of the Non-Metal Songs like Freesia and Talk about you are so good.

[@cryzz0n]

This game did get me into metal, it made me appreciate it and hear beyond "rock music go loud". I still remember vibing to Holy Orders as 12 y.o.

[@AnonymusAxolotl]

I'd love it if you did Rock Parade next. Been listening to the GG Strive OST nonstop lately and that's the one I've been listening to most

[@Kimpa]

Rock Parade and Mirror of the World are go to songs for me. Such good songs

[@KazeMemaryu]

Little piece of trivia: the vocalist for the Guilty Gear XRD/Strive is Naoki Hashimoto, frontman and singer for japanese metal band OUTRAGE, which started out as a cover band for Metallica, and has existed almost as long as Metallica themselves.

[@aganaom1712]

it can definitely go both ways. a love of metal can bring someone into this game and this game can bring about a love of metal most of the songs you hear from this series that have lyrics will either be from Guilty Gear Xrd or Guilty Gear Strive this theme in particular is from Strive and focuses primarily on the need to keep pushing forward. one can't go back to the past after all and it doesn't help to regret the decisions you've made. the best you can do is acknowledge the mistakes you've made along the way and to use that knowledge to do things better for the future. it's important to pause and reflect before taking your next step, but you can't hesitate in taking that next step no matter what it is background info: this is the theme of Ky Kiske, a roughly 25 year old, catholic king of French descent. born during the Crusades against the Gears, a conflict spanning nearly 200 years starting in the mid 2010s lasting all the way until the mid 2170s, Ky's home and family were decimated by a Gear attack when he was 8 years old and he developed a deep hatred for the creatures as a result. when he was 15 he joined a coalition military force under the UN known as the Holy Order of Sacred Knights which was a military organization that represented no sovereign fighting for all of humanity as a species against the Gears. Ky proved to be a prodigal swordsman, adept in both advanced combat strategy and the use of lightning magic and eventually rose to lead the entire order of sacred knights before he was 20. during his service in the order, Ky beheld numerous atrocities and spearheaded many brutal battles, one in particular early in his career left him as the sole survivor of the detachment he was a part of. in a bid to overcome the guilt and trauma of the ordeal, Ky etched the word "Hope" onto his belt buckle to serve as a reminder to himself and those around him that nothing can be done without hope. he wears that buckle even to this day. also during his time in the order, Ky came into contact with an individual by the name of Sol Badguy and while he was impressed initially by Sol's hatred of gears and the zeal with which he seemed to fight them, the two would later grow to dislike each other as Sol proved to be quite insubordinate and reckless in contrast to Ky's rigid sense of honor and duty. this would ultimately develop into a rivalry between the two, going so far as to push Sol to etch the word "Free" onto his belt buckle in defiance of Ky's stiff command. the two would duel each other on occasion, usually after a disagreement until Sol finally left the order after fighting Ky one last time. Ky would later face down against the commander of the Gears, a Gear roughly the size of the Statue of Liberty who was named Justice, that humanity had been at war with for over a century and with help, was ultimately able to subdue her. after the war, Ky would later find out that Sol was also a Gear and after a series of events in the wake of the Crusades would find his beliefs and previous convictions challenged and ultimately flawed. among the revelations he made during this time, he discovered that the Gears were creatures made by mankind to kill mankind and grew to wonder if gears were capable of anything other than death and destruction this would come to a head when word of a creature said to inherit the will of Justice, the ability to command Gears, had emerged and when he found the creature in question, she was being faced down by Sol Badguy willingly giving herself up to him she appeared to be a girl. barely an adult with largely human features save for red eyes, a dark tail and two, almost wing shaped beings of black and white sprouting from her back. before Sol could strike her down, Ky found himself intercepting the blow and asked Sol if he would spare her that he might find out if a Gear could exist for anything more than destruction. Sol was angry at the notion that a Gear could be anything else at first but ultimately relented. this would also change the dynamic of Sol and Ky's relationship as Ky would no longer find Sol to be as unlikable as he would have in the past. time would pass on after this and Ky would grow to love the Gear who now was known as Dizzy and after becoming first king of the newly created United Kingdom of Illyria, he would secret her away to have a private ceremony which they would later consummate this would create a whole new slew of problems as Ky would find it increasingly difficult to live secretly with a Gear, a creature the rest of the world deeply hated and feared Ky would ultimately find a way to peacibly reveal Dizzy's existence to the world, an effort that took the assistance of many people including Dizzy herself but it was a long, painful time before he saw himself in a position to do so and after making that announcement, abdicated his right to rule Illyria

[@PerpetuallyTiredMillennial]

The opening riff after the synth is so damn dope, sick harmony.

[@Izlann]

The song "Lily" (from the Xrd Sign sound track) would be a great nonmetal song to react to because it shows the range of the artist.

[@chipslight738]

We also got Let's Tak About You in Strive

[@oneish7454]

Birthday Train is probably my favorite non metal track from Daisuke

[@adrianfahreza9477]

Dude also sings solo. I like his song called "Nomad"

[@NukeDaHippies]

I'm sure many will say the same. But one if Daisukes biggest inspirations is Queen. He considers a signed record of sheer heart attack as his personal treasure. There are alot of queen references in the series, Sol having a large majority of it.

[@akasajian]

Starting around 2013/2014, I was listening to Daisuke's music religiously high school and college. After learning of all the metal references Daisuke packs into his characters, the presentation, etc., I decided to give some of the referenced bands (Gamma Ray, Helloween, Angra, X Japan, Iron Maiden, etc.) a shot, and that's how I got more into metal. To see Daisuke's influences, you should check out Hurtbox TV's GG metal references video. The biggest one seems to be Queen. He even has a Jazz album poster personally signed by the four members.

[@yeetkunedo]

You should listen to this again after listening to Holy Orders (Be or Be Dead) from GGXX, and Magnolia Eclair from GGXrd. There’s nods to both songs in Roar of the Spark, as Ky Kiske (the character whose theme these songs are) undergoes quite a bit of character development and progression, and his leitmotifs reflect that.

[@Cathuulord]

I wouldn't say all metal, there's a lot of punk and pop punk, like May and Bridget's themes or Trigger which reminds me of RHCP, but I think Queen was a big influence for Strive's whole OST. Each song really feels like a story, especially song's like Zato, Faust, and Ramlethal, even Smell of the Game, it feels very Metal Opera-y.

[@CHEYMIX]

[@m0002856]

This game didn’t get me to like metal, I already did. I slammed my face so hard into Guilty Gear the second I realized how amazing the influence was. Helloween is absolutely an influence. Theres some Pantera in here. I’ve heard just a ton. The craziest part is that I think his biggest inspiration/his favorite band is actually Queen. Sol Badguy’s name is based on Freddie Mercury. There’s so many references though like Metallica has inspired attack names, Testament (my main character) is literally… Testament. LOL so many cool things.

I'm normally offput by traits or attitudes of streamers and KZbinrs. But watching you feels like seeing an old friend again. You got that super fucking positive vibe with a laid back Midwest coolness. I don't know what it is, but it's refreshing. Keep up the good work mate. (also I always described that friend as like a modern day pacifist viking. So maybe it's just like a kind metalhead thing. But I hope that comes off as a compliment LOL)

[@kaincook1275]

GG didn't get me into metal because for whatever reason I didn't give GG a try until much later, but I was OBSESSED with BlazBlue all throughout middle school. Even when I distanced myself from it in high school/college because I had one of those "ew I can't like anime things because I don't want people to see me as a weeb" phases BlazBlue music would STILL get caught in my head, because metal is just that awesome. Now I can happily say I am a metalhead, GG/BB enjoyer, and unapologetic weeb 🤘

[@Timmy1455]

While we're still on the Guilty Gear Strive train, I'll throw in "Alone Infection" and "Love the Subhuman Self". I'm sure there have been a ton of requests for these two songs in particular

[@demacry]

The music is what got me into GG, starting with Xrd. It's primarily metal but including all their legacy and story soundtracks, they cover a huge range on genre influences. Icarus and Blank are both absolutely beautiful tracks that diverge from metal and really showcase Daisuke's love of Queen. I really appreciate the approach to lyrical progression, there's a lot of appeal to telling simple stories.

All songs from Strive, except one, have their title in their lyrics.

[@GenericSoda]

I had some interest in classic metal before Guilty Gear (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) but after Xrd featured Naoki's vocals I ended up checking out the band he sings for, Outrage, and I've got a decent amount of their CD's now. I've branched out a bit since then, mostly indie bands, but metal is definitely been what I've been listening to most lately. Guilty Gear's soundtrack definitely lets Naoki's vocals shine, he's got a really impressive range between all the ballads, thrash, and chanting sutras GG has.

Blazblue get me into different kind of metal, which is composed by daisuke. Guilty Gear is focus more into heavy metal (there is jazz metal and Japan oriental metal but for spesific char), but Blazblue has more variation (non metal music, EDM, metal orchestra, etc) and I love both game

[@dracocrusher]

I think what he's trying to describe is 'Engrish', which might sound racist but I honestly love it a lot. There's just something weirdly endearing about hearing a non-native speaker mispronounce words with 100% sincerity that makes it really cheesy/fun but also really quotable and memorable. It's like when someone in a B movie gives a weird delivery, but instead of really mocking them, you're just all on-board with it as a thing because of how much fun it is, you know? Hope that makes sense. Like not everyone is going to really 'get' it, but I just love stuff like weird Jojo pronunciations and "A-B-C-D-E-F-Go", there's just so much uniqueness and personality to it, it's great!
