I really like the implications that Johnny can play all the songs from habit and just look at Kerry while effortlessly playing

[@fortie6902]

Muscle memory is impressive like that, I know people who can improvise musically while talking

[@I-C-N-H]

@@fortie6902 which sounds wrong because that's not johnny's body

[@itchykami]

@@I-C-N-H I mean on one hand, muscle memory is a misnomer, it's all in the brain; but on the other hand, that body is shaped entirely differently. especially if you're female V. Would that 'muscle memory' even work?

[@Calekoflight]

Guy I work with who's a big guitar and music nerd says he watches basketball games on mute while he plays to kind of train that playing while distracted thing.

[@KingSlimeProductions]

@@itchykami well the engram wasn't just overwriting Vs personality; it was slowly converting Vs body to the same physiology Johnny had. I don't think this means it was literally replacing every single cell of Vs body, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that the engram was able to replicate Johnny's muscle memory. I mean the first time we see Johnny he unintentionally controls us just by moving his hand; who is to say when he takes control he doesn't feel right at home, like as if he was in his own body?

[@shr3dl0rd17]

The best part is he's actually playing the right frets

[@InsulindianPhasmid2214]

they put a lot of work into the animations for instruments that street musicians play. they are playing the right chords.

[@DethCompany]

I can tell you don’t actually play guitar

[@DethCompany]

@zikri the notes and fingering don’t match up, like at all. Maybe it could be because of lag or some kind of video delay to the audio, but there is no way they match up accurately in this video

[@the_quadracorn]

@@InsulindianPhasmid2214 Sometimes they are, but they're a little scattershot with it. Often they're a bit delayed

@@DethCompany Definitely the frame rate here. Played it on mine, the fingering is correct

[@jpf7942]

What I love about this is Kerry's reaction. He fucking knew it was Johnny because of the way he shreds

[@mallrat7926]

if I remember right, Johnny never touched a guitar until after his arm got blown off, and he learned to play all on his own with his metal robot arm. Because of that, he kind of had his own unique/weird way of playing that nobody else could really replicate.

[@deepsixd6620]

@@mallrat7926 so it is

[@acetheenemy2763]

Never fade away had a much deeper meaning, it was a no brainer and overall a better choice because of just how good the song is for the scene.

[@fatty1040]

True i also like that song, but the last time Johnny sees kerry (at least according to his memory) they played ArchAngel and said his final words to Kerry. Its more of a plot/character aka johnny song but Never Fade Away is a bit more meta in meaning as its the ending song for the whole game.

[@crimson-foxtwitch2581]

@@fatty1040 Never Fade Away and Ballad of Buck Ravers also have their leitmotifs strewn throughout the game’s OST

[@GRIMHOOD99]

All of the songs are very good for this scene. Never fade away is very thematic. Archangel was unreleased single that they made together. Chippin' in is song that Kerry had his own version to and is important to him.

[@TheAlijator]

Yeah, and during the job Johnny says that out of all the songs, "Never fade away" would be his favourite.

[@T37-y6m]

Archangel goes hard tho

[@jace5151]

You know it really shows how close Kerry and Johnny were. Only Silverhand could shred that hard.

[@jmanza92]

I remember on my first play through I randomly choose this song and never regretted it. this is probably my favorite song by samurai.

[@RN1441]

I wish this game had been better debugged before release and that the marketing hadn't lied so much about the features. What's there has great atmosphere, music, voice acting, and an emotional story. It's a shame that it ends on a cliffhanger and that it was done dirty by the executives.

[@BossHOF]

It was still a great experience for me, can only hope DLCs will make up for the bugs at release.

[@RN1441]

@@BossHOF I was on PC so the bugs were at worst 'annoying'. For the DLC, I'm hoping V gets some payoff for their efforts. Fingers crossed.

[@Khxos_]

It wasn’t there fault sony and Microsoft pushed them small moments like Johnny playing for you shows how much they really cared

[@palanoolho]

Main story is pretty weak in my opinion, it as is moments but for the most part is just average.

[@nekzah]

Yeah about that cliffhanger... Have you maybe looked into the meaning behind tarot cards you are given in the end? :,)

[@Jojilikesgames]

The biggest power move is to not look back to the guitar when Kerry says keep playing

[@blackbirdrx7]

I started learning the guitar because of Johnny Silverhand. This is my favorite song to shred, absolutely fantastic every time!

[@silverlining_1995]

Buy the apartment In kabuki and you can play all the songs anytime. Loved that bit lol Also, open the door with the code in the square around there and you can watch / listen to Johnny play some nice songs too. Anytime.

[@elseggs6504]

If you steal and hatch the Iguana, petting it should spawn Johnny in your Apartment too

[@thenosieyartist6924]

Fave head cannon is how kerry knew it was Johnny via his shredding and his guitar face. Specifically, the guitar face

[@miguelcondadoolivar5149]

The facial expressions do give Johnny away for those who knew him, like Rogue.

[@chaoticproductions3922]

damn i chose Chippin In' personally but that was because i hadnt heard never fade away on the radio yet

[@cmdrantezscar3368]

hey, still both are good songs.

[@AB-vp9mi]

I went with Chippin In, mostly because of the second chance Johnny got.

[@Peinfull87]

Allways loved the fact that Kerry is ready to blow the brains of whoever got into his place but hey, first "keep playing" xD

[@revemb4653]

Wish they had more story content between these two and their history

[@devonh117]

man i absolutely loved this scene, anything to do with silverhand and SAMURAI. All it took was some polish and we got something shiny.

[@Shquahbz]

i really wish there was a full version of this

[@NobleLeader6]

Of the song? There is, it's called Never Fade Away. It plays sometimes on the in-game radio (I think on Morro Rock), and it exists here on KZbin. All 3 choices do, Chippin In', Never Fade Away, and Archangel.

[@warriortakemikazuchi3222]

@@NobleLeader6 I think he meant just the guitar version

[@troglodyte-kc2sl]

​@@warriortakemikazuchi3222it sounds so close to the studio version by Refused that I'm pretty sure CDPR just used the guitar track.

[@scratchguns]

Johnny said his favorite song was Never Fade Away so it makes sense to play that here

[@CyBerCat6410]

Wish there were more with kerry he was cool!

[@madscientist9254]

One of my favorite scenes from the game is when he's casually playing guitar on a yacht, before announcing it isn't his yacht and instructing you to break and burn it

[@MaewCatt]

It bugs me that the only main story missions direct you to Panam and Judy and you have to do two side quests for romance with River and Kerry. Wish is could tie together with them more than we did. Kerry’s quest was dope as fuck tbch

[@KILLAKINGD0M]

To be fair it would turn into Grand theft auto, Kerry asks for the most ridiculous over the top sh** and it would over throw the tone of the game if it were over done. “Yo V a fan flipped me off we got to zero her dog, two bitches with one bullet!”

It's..... a bit of a stretch to think that Kerry recognized Johnny that easy, no? I mena, if some random breaks into your house, starts playing your guitar would you really think "hey could that possibly be my old choom who died 50 years ago?"

[@BossHOF]

yeah i was thinking the same thing, kinda weird

[@tny7]

it's the future so anything's possible, but also most musicians have their own styles which other musicians can hear. good example is my old violin teacher could tell it was me playing from a whole different room

[@haolihfaioefh]

@@tny7 I get that, but like...... I just felt like it wasn't handled as well as it could have been in this scene? Maybe it should've taken a little longer for Kerry to figure things out- could've been a tense encounter with us/Johnny dropping hints etc...... meh, I'm nitpicking I suppose

[@swimmingshi]

@@BossHOF the original script must been johnny playing old song, but in-game it gives option to play music with option, also it's might be that, the dev doesn't wants player to stop at cut scene for too long for some old dude

[@petroleum_u]

It makes the most sense with Archangel. Also, to be fair, Kerry wasn't exactly the most mentally secure at this time.

[@minneeagle]

I think the dialogue after Kerry found Johnny in his house was funny.

Kind of wanted to hear silverhand’s voice more than V’s when switched. I mean sure the change of color in the dialogue and everything else and also the hologram like silver hand, it’s still pretty good.

[@pablo5425]

it kinda makes sense johnny is controlling another body which has its own vocal strings. which means he can only use v's voice. and thats what everyone else hear even when he is in control

[@Da1337Man]

@@pablo5425 Female V's voice when Johnny is in control is much better. It really sounds like a fusion of V's and Johnny's voice, and i couldn't give two shits that it doesn't make sense. Just the way Johnny talks is enough to tell him apart from V.

It starts after you complete the other story missions before meeting Hanako at Embers. It starts with the mission where you let Johnny take over to talk to rogue but he spends most of the night getting drunk and high and getting embarrassing tattoos on V's body, just follow the quest chain from there (you end up getting Johnny's car and revolver which is cool, both are pretty decent).

[@Squeb5]

Is this part of romancing Kerry? Because I don't think I ever got that mission

2023 was probably the last time Kerry heard someone (in this case Johnny) play ''never fade away'' so effortlessly. Samurai was a relic of the past that even its most die hard fans in 2077 don't truly understand. And musicians ears are just built different when it comes to music.
