2:14 - I really like how the guy in the middle is enjoying his role in this masterpiece. This is what life’s meant to be: taking part in something creatively beautiful and also bringing joy to others. Thanks for all the musicians there and thank you for the upload👍

[@mcs1981_]

Just WOW.... Give me back the good old days with my PS2 and MGS 2 and 3. This is EPIC!!!

[@jaywalkra]

Thank you so much for uploading! Throughout all these years of various orchestras doing MGS themes, Eminence remains my personal favourite. It's the most sharp and captures the MGS essence best imo

[@arturgelumbauskas]

Agree completely! The perfect mash of MGS1 Intro, MGS2 choir and MGS3 guitar!

[@ferrybuitenhuis]

you can see the emotion in the eye's of the conductor, the joy from the big drum percussionist and the guitarist who giving his emotion in his strings love it

[@mischa1981]

Makes me cry every time I listen to it. It's just too beautiful.

[@pointlessendeavors5653]

OMG the spanish guitar is so perfect it made me cry.

[@mechaishida7588]

I've long left my gaming days behind me, however the music of MGS is something I rememeber even to this day, and very fondly, I might add. A truly stirring rendition of the best theme song I've heard in a game, it surpasses even the Philharmonic's rendition.

[@hirotwo2018]

0:45 That beat always kill me 1:53 mgs3 2:14 the guy was just vibing

This game changed my life... When it first came out I was a straight A student destined for great things... Now.... I'm a weirdo who runs around military bases occasionally hiding in a cardboard box that my dog pissed on.... Live the dream!

[@xenmaster1987]

I’ll never forget when the first game came out and I faked that I was sick for a week to stay home from school and play it with my dad 😂. He knew I wasn’t sick lol

[@CCM1199]

Man, Metal Gear solid: Sons of liberty theme! still gives me goosebumps to this day every time I hear it. Guess it brings out the military in me once again.

Now in 2024 its a lifetime masterpiece

[@alexrain1188]

While I really don’t like MGS2 to this day, I truly respect the game as Kojima was basically creating an entire universe in one sitting. Perhaps the vision was limited by the hardware. I would be down for a MGS2 in current gen.

Beautiful. Some of the fundamental fabrics of my childhood.

[@JuniorFx21]

It is much more than a game, it has much more depth than any movie that deals with war, it makes you understand the feeling of war veterans, and why their life is no longer the same after being in the field of battle fighting for people who don't care about you at all.
