There have been a lot of requests for this lately 🤘🤘 For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

[@catastrophic_music]

I thought u reacted to this before? idk.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@catastrophic_music obviously I didn't 😂

[@yartlexprimero7840]

3 years ago fot the 5th annyversary of Undertale an official concert was made where the musicians played (if not all) most of the game's OST, here's the link to the concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaO9lXd3f8d7nMUsi=hKRt8fiUCjBvSagA (if the link doesn't work you can search it for "UNDERTALE 5th Anniversary Concert") and at 2:54:32 they played Megalovania, hope this helps you about what you said around 5:00 Sorry for my crappy English

[@RandomIdiotofthecentury]

can you please do the world revolving?

[@TheHKZero]

Not sure if you wanted a specific cover but Iowa State's Marching Band has one from a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3LamZWta5l4f7s

[@jetman2045.]

Everybody just collectively heard the first 4 notes in their head upon seeing the thumbnail.

[@IvoryMadness.]

Yeah! You hear these notes, all the "information" of the whole music goes to your brain, immediately 😂

[@ranid0072]

Even 3 should suffice 😅

[@zecharius]

Bro, how??? I just looked at the thumbnail, and I heard the first 4 notes, then clicked. Then I see this comment. Bruh

[@Valandril]

First 10 notes for me

[@jessicamitchell6517]

If you pay megalovania while I'm asleep I wake up immediately a sans may spawn.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Exposed main motiff actually was different than the beginning one. The track starts with the starting part of descending motiff, while the exposed part has it ascending. So you were actually right.

[@psilocyberspace]

Not a marching band cover, though if you want to check it out on your own time there's an Undertale 5th Anniversary Orchestral concert you can find on KZbin. Megalovania is time-stamped near the end and it was really cool hearing all of these tracks translated to real instruments 😊

[@sweetmeloday5935]

THIS! I was thinking if he has seen the orchestral concert too~

[@DragonOrbProductions]

and Sans is such a appealing character, you dont need anything, just the first 30 seconds and a still image of him, is enough to hook and sink anyone

[@darkstorm8552]

One of the most iconic songs ever. Rightfully so

[@foamyzmusic]

megalovania and most of the Undertale soundtrack have been played in an orchestral concert, you should check it out! (not saying it was recorded with an orchestra but like, there was literally a 3 hour orchestral concert where they played the best of the undertale ost)

[@unai49999]

Idk, this one gives me more punk than sinphonic

[@IvoryMadness.]

@@unai49999 He means the 5th anniversary concert. That was symphonic!

[@BlackRover18]

Megalovania was played even for the pope

[@foamyzmusic]

@@BlackRover18 OH YEAH I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT LOL

[@sagi3933]

... not that the pope understood, in all likelihood =)

[@Ariionix64]

Fun fact: This isn't the first version of Megalovania. The first version of the song (MeGaLoVania) appeared in the Earthbound Halloween Hack (also by Toby Fox) as the final boss theme. It's a bit different, so please check it out. It follows the final boss telling the players this: tl;dr: eat shit, [homophobic slur] Also, Megalovania has a ton of remixes, though imo the best one is where sans forgets how the song goes.

[@sokomun]

It's Megalovania fort earthbound and MeGaLoVania for Homestuck

[@Driahva]

@@sokomun I still see Vriska's face when I hear this out of context. Moreso than Sans.

[@stevenmtaylor21]

I just listened to it, it's definitely different. It felt more grungy, and the ending was more discomforting than the Undertale version.

[@sokomun]

@@stevenmtaylor21 Actually there's multiple layers to that. The first version of Megalovania is from the EHH (Earthbound: Halloween: Hack), and was created in 2008. The second version is MeGaLoVania (probably the one you just listened to), and was created in 2012 for the webcomic Homestuck. Even if you don't have the context, I would recommend listening to it while watching [S] Wake. (the Flash it's from). The ending is different because it's another character's leitmotif (Vriska).

[@codebracker]

@@sokomun The one in the video is MEGALOVANIA which while similar has some differences from MeGaLoVania There's also MEGALOVANIA (super smash bros ultimate) version that also has some subtle differences from this one

[@DoctorWong]

It's funny how you mention the groove is like a file save, since you need to save a file before fighting Sans. (And also file saves become important in the story)

[@Draconas191]

This was covered by a Marching Band back in 2021, video is still available i think. check video game show from Iowa State Uni, about 5 minutes in.

[@sanfransiscon]

A song so iconic it got into Super Smash Bros! Actually, I really like that version especially as it sneaks in a couple little references to other Undertale songs.

[@greenhydra10]

I'd say there's easily half a million covers, let alone remixes, let alone covers and remixes of remixes.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

500,000 covers?

[@DagvadorjBayasgalan-du8ox]

this plays during a decently hard fight in the game, the hype is way too good

[@expex3230]

Yes

[@daenopher]

Yeah right... Kappa

[@yeniversetakanami3304]

Decently hard he says

[@DagvadorjBayasgalan-du8ox]

@@yeniversetakanami3304 i mean its gotten played to the point where some people think undyne fight is harder 🤔

[@daenopher]

@@DagvadorjBayasgalan-du8ox Yeah but anyone NOT familiar with games will just get crushed with the Sans fight, or even the regular Flowey fight, so.....

[@IvoryMadness.]

I remember that time when this one was everywhere! And I mean it, everywhere! Great video!

[@LaDeCR]

TONY! Omg I heard something f o r t h e f i r s t t i m e that I've never heard before with this tune, at 08:00 - deep right channel; bottom scoop of the sound staging - it was a three second lick of alto horn-like freestyling and sounded like a variation on the intro melody as an additional layer during that percussion focused segment... Seriously - I have never heard that three second lick before and it was while listening with my Meze 99 Classics. I've listened with various other entry-level audiophile monitor earphones, but this lick REALLY stood out with the closed-back Mezes. **EDIT looks like you caught it the second time around, also 😅 Toby Fox is a bona fide genious!

[@MysteryOfTheShockwave]

Oh that has always been one of my favorite parts of the song! I also listen to music far too much and analyze it while I do, so I am absolutely an outlier lmao

[@cyberspacecat]

Always a banger despite being memed to hell, also I think you somehow got a double looped version. I'm sure many have said already, but I do very much recommend the 5th anniversary orchestra, even if it's not quite what you were looking for it's quite an experience.

[@shannon1242]

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth that came out this year has one of the most incredible video game OSTs ever. Such an interesting mix of cinematic and motifs lifted from the 97 music. Check it out! The White Materia, Cries of the Planet and Jenova Lifeclinger are 🔥

[@Animeister93]

So happy you reacted to Megalovania! Such a great song in this game! Another Undertale song I recommend is ASGORE (Play Bergentrückung as it's the intro to the song). It's another good boss theme in the game!

[@MilesProwerUA]

11:45 My brother, no one clicks from Megalovania. You can listen to it 10 times on repeat and I'll still sit and listen it with you.

[@EBJustin]

As others have said, checking out the anniversary orchestral concert is a must! I would especially recommend watching it if you play Undertale (and after you finish it if so) because it will have much more significance relating the themes back to the in-game experiences.

[@LinkedToReality]

With all these Undertale reactions I'd love to see what you think of Toby's tracks from Deltarune too, like "Field of Hopes and Dreams" and, for some vocals too, add on "Don't Forget" after since it's the same leitmotif. Toby is one of the masters of the leitmotifs after all.

[@YamiYaiba]

Maaaaan, now that you said it, I *need* to see a DCI set of this. That suggestion has an effect on me lol

[@EGToasty]

Bro the fact that when the game first came out the first time hearing this song was locked behind a secret playthrough and on top of that its by far the hardest fight in the whole game is hilarious to me.

[@elijahcee4676]

I’ve wanted a DCI show around megolovania for so long now

[@zacklepplin2872]

The song that might play when you fight sans, I think that’s its actual name, is good too.

[@The1Bread_Man]

you have to check out the undertale anniversary concert. they play the entire ost with a huge band.

[@catblackburn7486]

Not a marching band cover, but Insaneintherainmusic has a killer jazz arrangement with full instrumentation of this modern classic that is 1000% worth checking out.

[@gufus3045]

[@naffy_0558]

You GOTTA react to all 4 Overlord openings, you listened to the first one in one of the multiple random anime op videos but imo all 4 are great

[@cultofmel]

I think you might be interested in listening to Heartache as well as Bergentrückung + Asgore. (Bergentrückung is just an intro to Asgore and is only about twenty seconds long.) Both of these songs are extremely similar to eachother while also sounding massively different, and are definitely some of the top songs in the OST.

[@Dharengo]

Did you know this isn't the first incarnation of this song? A different rendition was used for the webcomic Homestuck before this, and I actually think there might be a version of it even further before it?

[@codebracker]

The haloween hack version yes. There's also the Super smash bros version after this version it

[@Dharengo]

​​@@codebrackerThe Smash Bros is just this version again in a different instrumental tho. The other ones are more distinct.

[@codebracker]

@@Dharengo i think it has papyrus and asgores theme mixed in

[@L3vv-us2fb]

IM LATE.. I'm glad you finally got a listen of this theme :D

[@toromihearts2]

This is a random suggestion, but i think hitorie's "on the front line" would be interesting. You covered their music with the 86 OP a few months back and I remember you quite liking it, this track was used as the recent Mushoku Tensei OP as well :)

[@user-xy4dl5hj6y]

“File saved” I see whatcha did there 😂

[@mightyfetheredone]

This is the first time I've heard the whole thing, it's pretty rad. I've only ever heard the beginning in memes lol😅

[@polterghost_]

I just watched a video where you said you wont react to this xD Btw, my favorite cover is from RichaadEB, the older one from 8 years ago specificaly.

[@KNightshade6]

I still say you have to check out undertale's ost undertale, named after the game and well deserving of its title, its one of the most beautiful in the game.

[@SpikePilgrim]

In the smash bros version of this song there is a moment that sounds like a marching band playing with the song.

[@snapbread1146]

someone did an acapella version of it it's unbelievable

[@filakit]

I really enjoyed your breakdown of Megalovania! I'd also be interested in seeing your take on the Smash Bros version made by Toby Fox himself.

[@pierro6388]

Hey, love your work keep going ! We also need you to react the Ninja Kamui first opening this is so fire !!

[@Waterbaer97]

I would love to see Undertale translated to a marching band. The music is already really fun and exciting but on top of that the gameplay itself can look really cool as the field work. Could get really pricey if you play with uniform colors but it would be so cool to see cross through in big moment with a stationary horn line as a blue heart center field.

[@ArsenLux]

Not a marching band, but look into the cover by MOS! They’re a Japanese all girl “neo brass” band and they absolutely slay it.

[@tadahitotsu86]

Looking forward for more undertale reactions, and highly recommend listening to Bergentruckung/ASGORE, one of the best themes in the game!

[@theLikou1]

This music was inspired by a music from a game called Live a Live. The music is called Megalomania. I think it is the better song, specially the remake version.

[@se7en845]

I still wonder how he did not reacted to Parasyte hypnotik ost yet

[@jonathanjoestar9112]

You should take a listen to shovel knights soundtrack. It gives you the game vibe but it has a twist that I can’t explain. For me a good one is plains of passage/strike the earth

Shovel knight so good. So many good tracks, and I love that the boss fight themes are like a remix of the stage themes. Also the enchantress battle theme is so crazy, so much details going on

[@sagi3933]

Undertale Yellow OST next? Arguably one of the best, if not the best fangames of Undertale made, which includes the whole soundtrack (though I do love the other popular ones too)! Recommendations for now include a variety of the best he game has to offer in order (I listened to them all -again- to write this comment): - Darkness (area theme) - Fever Pitch (boss theme) - Forlorn (boss/character theme) - Snowfall (area theme) - Vigorous Terrain (area theme) - Meltdown (area theme) - Guns Blazing (boss/character theme) - BEST FRIENDS FOREVER (boss/character theme) - Some Point of No Return + A Mother's Love (boss/character theme) - Gift (...!) - Undertale Yellow (credits) - Apprehension / Remedy + Retribution (boss/character theme) These are so good, they get remixed all over, the classic case of Untertale content being reimagined, then spun further, than spinning out of control, and I LOVE IT! edit: forgot to mention "Trial by Fury" (boss theme), as well as "Enemy Retreating" (unique combat theme), I am ashamed of myself!

[@shadowlibra5758]

There is an orchestra version on youtube of this song😂😂

[@icecp6532]

I would love for you to check out some more Undertale tracks. Especially the main theme "Undertale".

[@user-sm4iy7ip1d]

It feels like a prank that he reacts and analyses this 😂 but still dope though

[@SnowyJop]

I was looking through your reviews and didn’t seem like you’ve done any Tekken music? I’d like to recommend Yoshimitsu’s theme from Tekken Tag! Tekken has some really cool music

[@RJR4646]

Yes

[@Karanthaneos]

I think it's one of the most emblematic songs, and is also a Toby Fox's staple, having been used in a romhack and the webcomic Homestuck before, but there are songs I belive are just better.

[@kolaz4968]

Yo, there is a lot of remixed undertale music that are cool. I recommend you last breath phase 3 frostfm cover.

[@kopigeneral7638]

You should react to rush e, and then to the rest of the rush collection by Sheet Music Boss. It would be really interesting Btw megalovania is a banger, and i really like it, maybe my favourite undertale music (on par with metal crusher, bonetroulse, DUMMY!, spider dance, hopes and dreams)

[@kastian9537]

Megalovania and Bonetrousle are my favourites from Undertale, though the former is much more popular. Also I love rock/metal covers of both of them (can recommend RichaadEB ones).

[@Ocelot231k]

ConSoul does a cool cover, and MOS does a 6 piece brass cover as well

[@Ealstrom]

4:54 Then you might enjoy reacting to the live concert that was held for the 5th anniversary in 2020, its pretty wild

[@fictionalcharacter2455]

I’m curious if you plan on doing any more bloodborne, there’s many great tracks I think you’d enjoy like Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, The Living Failures, Orphan of Kos, Gehrman the First Hunter, all incredible tracks

[@IvoryMadness.]

Yeah, that would be awesome!

[@noelwz]

Spider Dance is good too

[@lal6005]

unrelated but you check out con lentitud poderosa from risk of rain 2 that's a hell of a banger

[@IlayBoter]

Tony!! You should totally give the Super Smash Bros remix version a listen as well!! it's an official one, composed by Toby Fox or when Sans was added to the game

[@ultspark]

[@autophagyyuu]

omg I hope you do Asgore's theme it's my fav from the game it's so good

[@Ikronix007]

I'm not sure if its been covered already on this channel but Toby Fox remixed this song for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and is def different from the OG.

[@Pikwii]

I still think Undertale (the song) is easily the best. Just a beautiful track, and has such meaning to it

[@banggugyangu]

My favourite is Waterfall, but it's a soundtrack with so many bangers, and no one's choice is wrong...

[@sokomun]

my favorite is megalovania, it's some people's favorite for sure

[@expex3230]

My favorite is asgore

[@itzmehanormalgamer7969]

You should react to Trial By Fury!! (from Undertale Yellow)

[@YamiYaiba]

If you have any interest in doing another Undertale piece, Battle Against a True Hero might just be my favorite piece from the whole game.

[@AskiFin]

what kills me is the fact that creator of undertale considered his music talen to be a side project.

[@daenopher]

Megalovania, to me, is on par with stuff like Doom Eternal music. You know what I mean? Definitely not genrewise obviously but they both have that game-y sound to them keeps you pushing and pushing and pushing! Absolutely Top 10 Gaming Soundtrack!

[@jamy-la-biquette8317]

Toby fox has to be one of the greatest video game music compositor tho like he is the king of motifs and so on i love all his music especially death by glamour or rude buster
