👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘

[@rpgeebzmusicarcade]

Let me know your thoughts on this format - ost reviews and gameplay - LOL @18:55 -

[@SeaSackPotatoes]

Its a good format plus you get to others reccomendations as well which helps you a lot in reacting to these songs faster plus your minecraft skills are getting much better in between each stream

[@baka_yu9343]

The only issues I could foresee with this is that if there's potentially copyrighted music before the gameplay, you won't be able to monetize either part, while just gameplay might work for you; and that youtube's algorithm apparently looks at total watchtime in a video when pushing it (as far as I'm aware, others may correct me if it's not the case anymore). So if people may only watch one part or the other and not the entirety of the video, it might get suggested less to new people. For Twitch, it's probably great, I would just consider if splitting the video in two would work better with the stupid ways in which youtube works.

[@alexthebasilisk]

Godskin Theme is awesome - you should check out the RichaadEB metal cover of it.

[@DasMilC]

I like the "more casual" on-stream approach. Only small issue that could arise is finding your review of a Specific OST through search imo. Like, if I looked for "old composer reacts elden ring godskin", I wouldn't be able to find, that this video exists via youtube search. Maybe a link to the OST in the description + the name of the track would help for the algorithm.

[@Moloxer]

Please react to the soundtrack of Factorio! It's so good(my personal favourite), but practicaly no one made videos on it. But that OST deserves so much more attention, kinda makes me sad that no one knows of it.

[@blazex224]

Thank you for reviewing these! I definitely agree with some of the other comments - this OST has so many gems it could very well be worth another stream to go through more

[@varkboys9999]

Elden ring is easily a top 3 favorite game for me. The music is incredible. My personal favorite song from it is "Regal Ancestor Spirit". It's so calming for a boss fight

[@DaronMGL]

It's definetely very different than anything else in Elden Ring. I wish the little bubbly sound effects were part of the song though, they fit together so well.

[@varkboys9999]

Very true. The fight and the song are such a juxtaposition to the rest of the game. It kinda reminds me of Dancer of the Boreal Valley from Dark Souls 3

[@TheLikeButtonLMAO]

For me the best songs for elden ring are Beast Clergyman/Maliketh, The Final Battle, and Malenia.

[@ArtofCrimms]

Hey Geebz! Haven't been able to catch stream lately, but I'm so glad to see you're starting your VG journey! Also, I believe for both Godskin Apostles and another song you haven't listened to, yet (Mohg, Lord of Blood) the composers indeed just used gibberish, what you heard there was a two-stage fight, that's why it paused for a moment. Hope you're enjoying Minecraft!

[@dkDolphino]

Specifically the gibberish is heavily modified Latin (source is the lead male singer for "Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy")

[@silverhand9965]

@@dkDolphino Yeah, some words are recognisable as latin words both for Mohg, Lord of Blood and God-Devouring Serpent, but most of it is nonsense

[@Aoenias]

4:14 Um.... well... an 8 foot tall man in shrouded armor, as if he was attending a funeral, (my funeral) leap his mighty horse (or should I say Hearse?) 20 yards horizontally in a single bound to slap me with a glaive the size of a lightpost. And then I met his brothers.

[@NocnaGlizda]

I just checked to see if anyone was listening to Elden Ring music on youtube. Thanks! I wanted to get the opinion of someone skilled in music. And i need more of Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Dark Souls trilogy music from you sir! There are a ton of soundtracks from these games. An unforgettable experience. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

[@Ryan13489]

Lichdragon Fortissax next from Elden Ring, I always recommend it because most players won't have heard the phase 2 which is a dramatic shift in tone, bombastic, organs, it's insane! Great stuff I watch all your videos, might need to get twitch for the live streams! "During the War of the Ancient Dragons, where the forces of Leyndell battled against the ancient dragons, Godwyn befriended Fortissax. After his death, Fortissax struggled to stave off the death blight that afflicted Godwyn, and was later corrupted by it."

[@chipbutty3645]

I wish fortisaxx didn’t die in like 3 hits even with crappy weapons

[@BigbossShoshka]

Came for the Elden Ring, stayed for the Minecraft.

[@TheLastGame666]

Elden ring ost is such a masterpiece, from the minor tracks to the major ones, so varied and godly, my favorite ost in gaming!

[@better640]

I love how much you appreciate every small detail in the game.

[@sho8269]

damn, for me elden ring is such a milestone, its already so nostalgic for me when i hear this music what a masterpiece and one of the best games this decade. ❤

[@Fish-nt5wb]

Godskin Apostles show up together and separately several times throughout the game. I don't know the exact lore, but they're some crazy dudes that go around killing gods, skinning them, and wearing said skins. The weapons they carry are Godskin Peeler and Godskin Stitcher. I think it might be a macabre joke because the player is going around killing gods and wearing their clothes, too.

[@2dat115]

Never thought about that😂

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

FromSoftware games' choirs are always either "ooo" or in Latin, but they never release the lyrics, because although they're thematically connected to the game and specific situation, the details of the narrative change up to the last moments of the game's development whereas the soundtrack is set in stone a bit earlier, meaning the lyrics may contain outdated information and throw people off track if officially released (or they may give away more explicit information than FromSoft wants, since they're ALSO known to remove canonical info over the last period of development and even after release to make the puzzle harder). Also, there's a high chance the Latin is bad :)

[@shanedillis153]

Do you know the bat that sings on ledges in Elden ring it sings in Latin and it’s been translated and it’s lore correct talking about no births and the lost of grace. So kill. Sometimes I’ll get in and just go sit by her and listen to her sing

[@coleharbak]

Thanks for this! I love the elden ring ost

[@jeremynigro4369]

The two part Final Battle for Elden Ring is the best track in the game with a mix of bombastic but also the kind of melancholy, eerie vibes you usually like :)

[@spikespiegel821]

This channel is so underrated that it hurts more than losing to the Godskin duo when their life bar is like 1mm left

[@deadrop6647]

i've been waiting for some more risk of rain 2 ost, love the content so far

[@unfortuitousash]

Same. Rain formerly known as purple or anarctic oscillation would be awesome.

[@stonekite4482]

The piece you listened to in the beginning plays when you fight the "Bell Bearing Hunter". It's a boss that appears at night in certain places. Not sure if it also plays at other points in the game.

[@kimvarki]

Yeah, when you fight the night's cavalry. Also, there's a second phase, that was missing here.

[@checkraiser100]

Its mainly the nights cavalry theme but yeah also plays for bell bearing hunters

[@Oscar-wp5cq]

"Funeral oriented" Yes... My funeral. 50 times over XD

[@copydepastey]

as far as the idea of things "sounding the same" i always think... its kind of context. if youve never heard bach and beethoven(or even any orchestral music if you havent heard a lot of it) before you might feel like they both sound the same to you, but if you know them they seem pretty different. ive had a lot of experience where i listen to a band for the first time and i think "all their songs sound similar" because they might have a similar vibe or whatever their style is but once you get to know the songs you think " how did i ever think these sounded the same'?" you just hear some similar sound or instrumentation used in a certain idiom and at first youve got no real reference for it its just like " this band sounds like this" or "this composer sounds like this" and then as you get more granular into it you sort of hear all the nuances and the different melodies and dynamics and things and really its another world at that point.

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

From soft boss fights after ds1 all have the consistent "pounding the tonic" throughout the whole piece, so they do objectively sound repetitive

[@moonrabbit2334]

Knight rider music was one of the first ost I heard ingame that sticked with me as cool and creepy music and it matches with the fight so much. They only appear at night btw and their horse is covered with black cloth/ drap all over

[@Jaxsov]

I love the violin, if that’s what it is

[@MFGeedorah47]

Never realized how much Night's Cavalry reminds me of Slay The Spire OST, we def gotta see that sometime too

[@blazingcurry]

Oh my god you’re so right!

[@gamerzwithjobs330]

You need to hear the opening theme song of elden ring. Might be the greatest video game song of all time.

[@satwikmahapatra9079]

Ey ey ey....hold it right there buddy. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

[@chocopuddingcup83]

Along with Radagon's battle theme to spice it up.

[@botarc]

@@satwikmahapatra9079 Totally not the greatest. But definitely ONE of the greatest songs of all time.

[@satwikmahapatra9079]

@@botarc tbh i haven't played enough games to determine that, but yeah. Elden Ring, and in general all fromsoft games' OSTs are bangin

[@DoctorWhoBlue]

​@@botarc it's honestly one of the most generic tracks in the OST. At least the version for Radagon is a bit better.

[@keystrix3704]

While a lot of orchestral tracks can sound samely, the ones that hit, know when to... hit and has a rhythm that stands out from the rest. The Godskin Apostles one hits to me because the pacing of it is so subtly strange, providing a mixture of disturbing twistedness and grandeur. Very fitting for the skinners of gods~

[@chipbutty3645]

Loved a few of the tracks in this game but wish there were more great ones like godskin and godfrey, previous souls games apart from ds2 had distinctive amazing tracks for every single boss but like ds2 this game prioritised quantity, which isn’t a bad thing mind u but the music suffered a little imo

[@MartinHindenes]

Consider listening to Lady Maria ost from Bloodborne, it's one of the absolute pinnacles of orchestral soundtracks from Fromsoft.

[@iveharzing]

About finding iron, you're completely correct that you're likely to find it in tall mountains, but they gotta be _really_ tall, and they only show up in stone blocks, not in snow or ice.

[@CrisMW98]

11:03 it's actually based off Latin, but some of the words and syntax are wrong (probably for artistic reasons)

[@adamnave1078]

Only Miyazaki can understand

[@unfortuitousash]

Oh man geebs keeps admiring the sunsets and I just keep thinking how much better they'd be with iris and a shader pack.

[@LePeppino]

That +20 fire damage line? Yeah, I'm stealing that one. Genius

[@BlueAsterismSolstice]

Hey! Should check out either main menu theme or The Final Battle ost for Elden Ring. The 2nd is more preferred as it'll use a bit of the menu theme, but improve on it from there.

[@Trashiok]

It’s something a lot of people have done. But I’d love to hear your response for some of the music used in the film DUNE, it would be amazing!

[@terrorsanity]

I just pressed the like button because of the "iron is a such pain in the butt" XD So fun to hear that after decade the game being released

[@Spitx]

We all jump when the skeleton plays ninja 😂😅

[@justinpeace8334]

Did we ever do a do over of Bloodborne Ludwig the accursed and holy blade? I remember he only did the last half which was a shame

[@ShadowPicturesJay]

Might I recommend a really underrated track from World of Warcraft: Legion? The track is called “Laila Demon”

[@_thebigsteve]

You need to listen to the dark souls 3 theme, slave knight gael, sister friede and father ariendal as well as many attack in titan tracks.

[@therealSeaI]

Please review another Elden Ring OST called Godfrey, First Elden Lord. I think you’ll love it

[@NO-gg1ex]

I highly recommend you delve into attack on titan osts they are amazing Not sure on all the names but I’ll give you some: My War Shinzou wo Sasageyo Guren no yumiya Attæk on titan You see me big girl/T:T Rumbling Vogel im kafig

[@fantomeduchateaux8136]

Soulsborne music is so gooood

[@satwikmahapatra9079]

U really need to take a listen to RDR2's ost, it's really masterfully crafted

[@cofi024]

I can't wait for more World of Warcraft OST reactions!

[@dee6561]

I like this song too-- maybe my favorite from Elden Ring.

[@asddw4998]

"Old man needs defibrillator" lol

[@emilsozolins8154]

I suggest you do some of Vampyr's soundtracks, my favorites are "The Cross" and "Twisted Tango" love the cello in the latter one which usually isn't that used in game music in my experience.

[@kodywill5441]

Someone should totally teach him how to put shaders on so the sunsets are better

[@GOOSE803]

Please add Kait's Theme from the Gears 5 OST to your list to check out. It is beautifully haunting.

[@dexi600]

A bit unfortunate that you chose the video which only showed the first, shorter half of the Night’s Cavalry theme, but regardless, still a great video to see!

[@AstridRohan]

To answer your question about languages: Originally they were going to use Latin for the chorus, but the devs decided against that because they wanted the language to be completely alien and foreign to Earth. So while this is an actual chorus singing actual lines, I think from the Czech Republic, the words they're saying are effectively gibberish. Sorry to bring it down a notch, but those are the facts.

[@ioverslept.]

The fact that someone said theres no main hook to catch on in Godskin Apostles is insane 💀. Just listens to the intro and makes a decision that its all just a mess od sound

[@XxguaxinimxX.]

More Elden Ring would be nice, ngl!

[@1nicesteak109]

I never realized it but doesnt isnt the first song from slay the spire?

[@KingJobber]

We need to get this man listening to Guilty Gear music stat!

[@tickledpickle5671]

As I said in another vid, and still hold onto, is that the only thing I feel listening to Godskin Apostles, is "Loss".

[@melancholicminerva6370]

From what I know about Elden Ring songs; most of the songs are either in English, latin, or whatever. Then for most of the songs they just heavily distort what theyre actually saying. I know some Elden ring songs like Malania Blade of Miquella has actual latin in it that can be understood, im not sure about any others.

[@PeterPipem]

You should give the Terraria ost a listen one of the best out there

[@slothguy_]

he needs to react to the Kenshi ost

[@Old_Gregg]

Elden Ring music uses a lot of Latin Lyrics. These particular lyrics are extremely insightful from a lore perspective and insanely eerie and bone chilling.

[@wi0.24se]

These are not even real words, idk where do you assumed that ER music used latin

[@GMatt193]

I don't remember where, but I read that they generated the words based on some reference sounds that changed from song to song, so yeah no true Latin here. Bloodborne on the other hand, definitely had Latin lyrics that tied into the lore, tho they weren't too grammatically correct

[@chipbutty3645]

It doesn’t actually, words are made up. The only souls game with actual Latin is bloodborne and ds3 has a made up language that’s similar to latin

[@aps_pabulo6525]

Hey I'm french but I love your video !!! Can you make Hollow Knight song partie 2 plzz

[@RandyLott]

You gotta listen to the Diablo II soundtrack. In my opinion, it's the best video game soundtrack ever made. If you only listen to a few tracks, listen to Tristram and Rogue Encampment.

[@elusiveDEVIANT]

For people who say it all sounds the same. Its a genre. All rock sounds similar. All classical sounds similar. You have your pianos, brass, vocals. Repeat for classical. Guitar riffs and repeating simple chords over and over are. Most rock songs. Hell, most music plebs listen too are made of 4 chords.

[@peachtime]

I know this is a very out of the norm request but can you please listen to "PXE" by ecco2k!!! Its a 10 minute EP and is very experimental, but I just want to know what somebody who is very proficient in music would think about newer generation music like that

[@JoshDLCTR]

Could you do periphery- dying star?

[@izabellnemilindfors2566]

I can recomend heroes might and magic 3 music soundtrack

[@sticky3012]

[@TheGrace020]

:DDD

[@natrix3400]

Try one punch man ost!

[@GrandpaWho]

I played through the whole game but never got to like the music. I think it is just bad, compared to the likes of a Piranha Bytes OST (Gothic, Risen, Elex - especially the old ones by Kai Rosenkranz), Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity, The Outer Worlds), Bethesda (Fallout, Elder Scrolls), Bioware (Dragon Age, Mass Effect) or even in my own indie games and total conversions (Chroniken von Coldramar, Sandra and Woo).
