lmao!!! This is hilarious. I laugh every time I see videos of marching bands playing metal or video game music... it's definitely a different time now than when I was in school.
Yes it sounds bad.. in quality. The camera recording has made the audio flat. Live, it would sound amazing from a musicians perspective.
It was very much liked by the band Coheed and Cambria considering they were asked to play with them on stage in Cochella and continued to play after Coheed had left the stage. They can't ruin a good song as long as the original exists either.
It is a shame the drums weren't very loud in this recording :(
I love how everyone commenting on this doesn't understand what it takes to actually do all this. How about you pick up a baritone or a trombone and march and play this. -.- I can tell you this much, it's not easy... and @doglover427, they're a college band, they don't have to worry about footwork as much as high school bands do.
Sadly I wasn't doing backflips out of amazement as I expected to do when I heard this. Maybe it's just the recording, but I think there should have been more low brass in the beginning to give that heavy drive
I live in Owosso faggot, and no, their band is not better...... don't try to rep Owosso Faggot. Owosso is like, Class D, town of 15,000. you are not shit, shiawassee country boy.
Ik good music and this isnt it they butchered the song theyre missing several notes and theyre off key alot. the cello guys did a better job and theres only 3 of them 4 if you count the bongo guy
@yootoob04 yeah i guess its the location of the camera and these weak notebook speakers. and how much more emphasized they are on the real version that makes this sound like they are somewhat lacking.
@N6688846993 Not only that but brass are very much directional with their sound....as in right at the camera. But percussion are evenly spread around them.
@mconk1 I must disagree with you. The Marching Illini are much better. Not that these guys aren't amazing. But, I mean... come on. The Marching Illini.
@DrakeNightMare Actually all those notes are correct, you sir, are wrong. You have no appreciation for marching bands. We can make anything sound good or better. For instance the marching band I am in. Our pregame is Hammerhead by the Offspring, but as a marching band we sound better than the original song. We also are playing Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes. And Piano man, etc
LMAO,that "ass clown in the skirt" is the drum major. His duties include riding the white horse,Traveller, and stabbing the turf with his sword before the game starts.
It's a Hollywood thing.Watch the Coheed & Cambria at Coachella performance instead-it sounds better.
it makes me kind of sad that it had to be welcome home because i am a true coheed fan from way back when they changed their name to coheed.. this is just because of rockband :(
@riiiighteous It is true that most people only know Coheed because of Welcome Home and Rock Band, but you have to admit, that song is a hell of a lot of fun at concerts. I think it's one of their best, it's just easy to wear out.
@leptile I bet its the only Coheed song they know..... as it has been in a lot of commercials and trailers. People think once they have heard this song that they know Claudio's best work, what little they know.....
the sound quality is a little tinny but otherwise this is really great. Good job to the band. As a low brass player for a marching band I know how hard shows like this are. It's simply gorgeous and I wish them luck with the rest of their shows as well.
........ I don't even know what to say... That was AWESOME!!!! :D I love marching bands (I'm a former drum major) and I LOVE Coheed! So this is f*cking fantastic! :D
