Pro Metal Guitarist REACTS: Silent Hill 2 OST "Theme of Laura"

[@Mad-Slick]

One of the best gaming soundtracks of all time.

[@Chasereasonfan]

THE best gaming soundtrack of all time ❤

[@Shadowofawolf]

In my restless dreams, I see that town.....Silent Hill. Probably my fav horror game of all time. I love it so much

[@brokensword2621]

I can't wait for the remake 😃👍

[@Hugo_Tate]

Gay af lol

[@Atomsk0192]

The series that made the mandolin the scariest instrument in the world

[@blackdragoncyrus]

I always associate this to be the "main theme" of SH2, with nothing to do with Laura at all, haha.

[@jotace1486]

It happened to become the main theme of SH2. They maintained the title just for creative reasons, but the song was used in the opening of the game and at various silent hill 2 ads.

[@abd-elhalimomar4287]

It really describes the whole journey of each character ( especially JAMES ) since the moment they get to silent hill and after they get out of it (no matter in what way they get out), i find it hopeful then gets strange and unpleasant then boom ... A WHOLE WORLD OF PAIN & SADNESS then a bit hopeful again then pain and disappointment, that's why it is the main theme of the game and it also fits laura but not quite like how it fits the other characters, really really MASTERPIECE AND BRILLIANT TRACK .

[@CYB3R2K]

Just like Ezio Family became the trademark theme of assassin's creed long after the character was done with the series.

[@Hugo_Tate]

It sounds youthful but also hints of darkness with those main guitar chords and sadness with the violins. So I think it actually fits Laura pretty well

[@MrWestSky]

@@abd-elhalimomar4287 Totally agree. I don't know why they named it theme of laura but I can literally see Jame's entire journey on the song. Maybe the creator just saw something else in the song.

[@eka437]

That chord imo is very reminiscent of the Twin Peaks theme, I think you can hear its influence on a lot of Akira's work for Silent Hill, but definitely in a few SH2 tracks. Only came to this realisation once I watched the show!

[@reidboggs4344]

Fun fact, Akira Yamaoka hid the main beat of Twin Peaks as the bass line in the theme of Silent Hill 1.

[@niemaszglowy]

It's no secret, Yamaoka admitted to being inspired by Twin Peak's OST.

[@nathananiki2363]

I still remember the first time I heard this song, the first five seconds made me realize this was going to be a banger ! Kudos for Toxic, for the good job playing it and for the person who requested it, for their good taste.

[@ianmitchell5979]

I REALLY hope the remake preserves the quality/effect of this game's ost in every aspect and detail!

[@excrono]

The soundtrack can be used as is for the remake, no OST remaster needed. Unless Konami wants to remake it new for album sales.

[@niemaszglowy]

Akira Yamaoka's worked along with Bloober's Arek Reikowski on remaking the original OST.

[@istvankeri6688]

good news

[@Xord499]

And Konami just annonced a remake of SH2

[@mikehawk8984]

I legitimately started to tear up when you harmonized with the bridge 😂😅

[@amandadiaz3154]

Your improv was awesome! I really liked it!

[@ruffice]

In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. And so they will...

[@Angel43189]

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SILENT HILL 2 BELOW!! It is actually theorized that James Sunderland (the protagonist of Silent Hill 2) actually had Mary’s dead body in the trunk of his car in the beginning of the game, when you look at Toluca Lake. (This may be why, in the “In Water” ending, James commits suicide by driving his car into the lake, drowning himself, with Mary’s dead body close to him.)

[@Padre_des_los_penitentes]

​@@Angel43189It's actually confirmed by Ito in a tweet She wasn't in the trunk, but the back seat Makes it all the more messed up and tragic

[@samcherry120]

loved watching you react then play to this great stuff bro

[@rodgercampo5332]

that improv is sick

[@jeanfrancosanchez662]

Woooow love ur habilitie and the song jejeje ❤

[@Wingedlight-nn4hl]

[@AliceMayor-n2n]

You're a god

[@darkzombisx]

I want love (Studio Mix) From silent hill 3 is sick too

[@sudokee7063]

"its like a james bond chord" funny coz the original game's theme used the james bond motif

[@Runexn]

There was a hole here, now it's gone. I've replaced it with recommendations from the Rance series. Rebirth the Edge Ithere Ontology All Your Power Royal Chaser Blood Memories

[@rogemcy]

Awsome! Need full version , Please! 🥲

[@isuckatguitar12]

Aint you in Singularity??

[@xcvb22]

Hell yea' Respect

[@ShaDHP23]

You have to check out The Promise sometime. It's one of the ending themes to this game and one of the best pieces from the entire franchise. Pity it plays over one of the worst endings to the game.
