The Black Mages 2nd Live - "The Man with the Machine Gun"

[gustibank95]

Oh man if that other not Nobuo keyboard guy messes up..... V_V hes the whole friggin melody you cant destroy man with the machine gun!!! aaah !!!! Fear!! Fear and its not me!!! i would never be able to play in front of Nobuo i would cry

[DerStadtschutz]

I think Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, and Hironobu Kageyama should form a band...

[4Got10Shadow77]

@DerStadtschutz

yasunori mitsuda's forte is not rock.... so i dont think it will work..

[BlackKusanagi]

@DerStadtschutz If that were to ever happen, the world would collapse under sheer awesomeness. Like a gravity round released upon the Earth's surface.

[TheCharlyHorse]

nobuo has one of the greatest mustaches in history

[YariOfTheBlackRose]

damn, and ive seen him my self and shaked his hand on the concert in his honor in cologne this year

[Treck96]

That keyboard guy is having the time of his life haha, I would too! :D

[MrKifferschlumpf]

@Treck96 That keyboard guy is God himself... just informed

[NebulaCupcake]

@Treck96 That "keyboard guy" is the chief himself, composer of nearly all major Final Fantasy soundtracks.

Nobuo Uematsu.

[Treck96]

@NebulaCupcake

Yeah, I looked him up after reading all these comments haha, he's a great musician

[AAArrrtvvv]

[tinytigerlilly]

the best song on final fantasy 8 is The Back Mages version of Maybe I'm a lion

[TheFinalFantasyFan25]

[AttackMyAss]

Way to ruin it with shitty guitar wankery.

Everything else is OK.

[AlexPlaysGames]

@AttackMyAss This is almost identical to the original Black Mages version.

[maggosh]

@AlexPlaysGames ...no fucking shit.

[AlexPlaysGames]

@maggosh Did you not see who I was replying to? Someone was complaining about the guitar and I was stating there's little change to the album version. No need to get PMT about it, man.

[maggosh]

@AttackMyAss *points to the exit* Get out.

[CrimsonVermillioneye]

Laguna: THE GREATEST THEME EVER!

[CheIseaSmiIe]

@Gendo3s2k Lol....oops?

[CheIseaSmiIe]

@Gendo3s2k My apologies man. I take offense to people insulting these men. Apparently you didn't.

[Sagemaster00]

14 people got legs cramps by the awesomeness and pressed the dislike button.

[EclipseMoonXIV]

I would give so much just to be able to shake Uematsu's hand...

[tsujack]

[Savci008]

lolololool

[tetedecochon69]

Mes respects à N. Uematsu et son groupe

[hangemhighsaddam]

[CyanidePillz]

[CrimsonVermillioneye]

@CyanidePillz Wow, seriously just wow.

[PrinceOfAltea]

I love just watching Uematsu jamming out on his keyboard. It's funny as hell. XD

[darkhalo23]

Nobuo Uematsu is a fucking GOD!

[HeavyMetalJesus02]

DO i see the use of emg pickups? yes i think i do, and i say awesome :D

[EkoLogikoTheDreamer]

2:26=The Legendary Beast.

Epic.

[claudiodxe]

Japanese people dont look heavy... but they do look like mages!

[lash624]

14 people are gay

[SSFF6B]

@lash624 7 people don't understand what gay means.

[oscarsg27]

Nobuo knows how to rock!

[williamkendrick]

@oscarsg27 YES, YES HE DOES!

[DrummerRF]

These guys are soooo insanely good live!!

[RoseQuartz27]

isn't won't? ok



[zigzack54]

0:47 2:47 3:07 are eargasms

[JapaneseAnimationMan]

@zigzack54 THE WHOLE THING IS AN EARGASM

[aop110]

Nobou Uematsu can beat chuck norris!

_ _ O

[HateiCats]

THIS IS SO BADASS!! WE LOVE YOU UEMATSU!! AND FINAL FANTASY 8!!

[stuartpentney213]

love black mages. Nobuo Uematsu is a fricking legend

[Clutch3Ball]

God > Uematsu > any other musical composer

[NarutoLikesSherbit01]

@Clutch3Ball OH, WAIT... you got mixed up there

it should be Uematsu > God > any other musical composer

[talecono]

Just saying Nobuo Uematsu's gives him even more power then god 0.o

[chimecho1011]

should put a warning up saying this video contains flashing images, other then that great live performance and sound from live, epic

[AIndoria]

Nobuo Uematsu > God

Yep, I totally agree. This guy is my favorite in music composition.

[darkveroth]

i heve more feeling for uematsu than for jesus

[roseofmay91]

I didn't like FF8, but I <3 this song!!!

[PendulumX1995]

The Japanese guy on the left looks kind of funny, especialy since he has a full grown mustache. At least his piano skills make up for it.

[AtmosStratos]

@PendulumX1995 You do realize that's Nobou Uematsu, right? The man that creates all the awesome Final Fantasy songs.

[PendulumX1995]

@AtmosStratos Nope, but he still looks funny. I do know he's made a LOT of the FF series music like you said.

[Peanutz996]

@PendulumX1995 ........... he has made valmost all of the good songs and all songs in FF 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 and also some songs in 10

[tinytigerlilly]

@AtmosStratos that is why people say Uematsu >god>every other composer, he makes bada** songs

[AtmosStratos]

@tinytigerlilly Ummmm was this intended for me? Lol I know he makes some bad ass music. Definitely one of my favorite modern composers, him and Shoji Meguro are just amazing.

[tinytigerlilly]

@AtmosStratos really it was intended for anyone who looks at the comments and I've never heard or (or at least don't recognize Shoji Meguro) what sort of music dos he do?

[AtmosStratos]

@tinytigerlilly Shoji Meguro is the composer for most of the newer Shin Megami Tensei games, mainly the Persona series. If you haven't heard of Persona yet it's a really good JRPG series (I think so anyways). If you like Uematsu's rock style you'll most likely enjoy Meguro's music. The Almighty is one of my favorite songs from him.

[tinytigerlilly]

@AtmosStratos what system is it for and ill look his music up

[AtmosStratos]

@tinytigerlilly PS2 mainly and a few PSP remakes, if you don't have either can probably find an emulator for 'em on your computer.

[tinytigerlilly]

@AtmosStratos nah ive got PS PS2 PS3 PSP (or someone that lives with me does, i'm a PS(R) person

[tinytigerlilly]

@tinytigerlilly it would be copyright (R) not trade mark right (TM)

[AtmosStratos]

@tinytigerlilly Same here, can't wait for the VITA looks pretty awesome, but yeah go give em a check out Persona 1 & 2 are lot older than 3 & 4 so lotta differences but fun, great music, and pretty solid story telling.

[tinytigerlilly]

@AtmosStratos i didnt really get what the VITA was, heard of it but that was it,is that like an upgraded PSP?

[nejiharuno]

@tinytigerlilly The Vita is supposed to be a PS3 that is portable (since Uncharted is one of the titles coming out for it), though I think it is more like a upgraded PS2 that is portable.

[ShadowriverUB]

@nejiharuno Actully hardware wise Vita have nothing to do with either PS2 or PS3 or even PSP and PS1, Vita will be first ARM-architecture PlayStation device, not MIPS as PSP, PS2 and PS1 was. If we talk about similarities Vita is more like iPhone on steroids then any other PlayStation, it's even closer to 3DS since it's also ARM machine. Also what is interesting,compireing to PS3, it has 2x more memory and separate VRAM which makes it like 4x memory,which allows to do some stuff that PS3 can't.

[nejiharuno]

@ShadowriverUB That's actually pretty interesting.

[ShadowriverUB]

@nejiharuno i think "Vita is portable PS3" talk come from fact that Sony made SDK for both very similar, so there no much effort in porting the game, that what they was trying to show on NGP annoucment in January. But yeah if you look on specs Vita, it uses same ARM+PowerVR GPU combo as Apple use in iOS devices, just with higher specs (So far Apple used only 2-core CPU, Vita have 4-core) ^^ 3DS have ARM+NVidia Tegra, all other playstations had MIPS CPUs, only diffrent was PS3 which have PowerPC

[Lunthus]

@PendulumX1995 GASP, That's Nobou Uematsu, He looks pure bad ass with that mustache cause he wrote One-winged Angel!!!

[lesjeuxaoublier]

the best themes in a final fantasy are in final fantasy 6 !

but this one is very good !

[PessimisticMonday]

Not bad for a bunch of middle-aged Japanese guys XD

[supercool1412]

OVER LIMIT

Laguna : throw a boom dont care ride a rob like Tarazan use all of ur Machine Gun bullits then u will get a party in the house 

[TobiAnonymous13]

Uwah I love the drummer~~~ *drumming gal*

[TiffanyCullen]

NIACE

[Magmaking13]

Nobou just loves it!!! Gotta love the man for creating so many memorable themes, and the Black Mages, well what a band!!! Shame people just dont get game music, some of the greatest music out there is from games, especially the FF series!!!

[l2enegadesofFunk]

2:26 wins hard. Love that keyboard/drum combo.

[IBGriffith]

@l2enegadesofFunk Yeah I remember I'm waiting some hours on Istar stage just to heard this fuking synth again and again. This moment is so EPIC !

[randilon]

FF8 the best soundtrack in all the FF series!

Thumbs up if you agree!

[Trifer420]

@randilon I agree FF8 has the highest concentration of great songs, but you kind ignore the other gems from the other ones.

[tinytigerlilly]

@randilon (the only ones who think so so far!?)

[Lamatsu123]

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah :DDDD

[meakmeakmeak]

I gotta be honest here. I love the black mages music and Nobuo's music. I love the final fantasy games, but as a live band (in the studio they are great) they suck. It's a shame they can't play their awesome music nearly as precise as they do on the album.

[MarksmanSpec93]

@meakmeakmeak If you seen them live, for one I'd probably have like to have taken your place in that concert. Secondly, if not, they've made no noticeable errors in any of their live videos I've seen so far. In fact I've seen very few bands (at least among those worth watching/hearing) for which there's not at least some mistake in every live video. Comparatively, this is still undoubtedly awesome, live or studio.

[AniBenNerd]

If Nobou Uematsu were a paedophile, you would give your kids to him in hope they would absorb some of his musical WIN!

[thecodyhenry]

@DoopaLoopa Ignorant people like you are the reason most people hate Christians. Shut the hell up and enjoy some of the best damn music from 6 of the most talented people on the internet

[JAJ08031989]

come on it's a video game, talk religious elsewhere. Take your conspiracies and cults and deeper meanings and allegory's and stuff and shoo.

Or we could say they made a video game so epic that both religious sides want it for themselves xD Go black mages!

[zidane4100]

...So, there's a video of a band playing final fantasy music, and there's a theological debate on the same page..... WHAT THE FUCK!!!! If you have to start shit about religion, start it out of my "give a fuck" range please.

[korinandrewphyre]

14 people got eaten by Omega XD

[GreenLupin1]

i really enjoy this but i think it loses something very important from original

[prutsikas]

I bet all the band members have finished FF8

[Lilukachan]

Nobuo Uematsu for president xD

[majewsmovies]

WIN

[deustaitan]

nobuo uematsu= japanese jon lord

[RunFasterPussycat]

14 people caught shrapnel from laguna's grenade.....

[LimeMiiQ]

@RunFasterPussycat Wow... just wow.

[BboydnL]

@RunFasterPussycat wow

you fail.

[DoopaLoopa]

XD basically.

Anyways, I actually like this song but would fucking LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to hear them play it at the original tempo.

then again they do play power metal so...

Actually it has started to grow upon me. : D

[y2kbug77]

Anyone know of a good torrent or preferably the actual dvd of this perforance???

[DoopaLoopa]

Why the fuck did they speed up this? Wow, they fucked it up!

[dreamzwalker]

@DoopaLoopa

That's your opinion. It's his song to fuck up all he wants, since he wrote it.

[DoopaLoopa]

@dreamzwalker OH SO CAN DOVE BOOKS INC WRITE THEIR OWN VERSION OF GOD'S WORD BECAUSE THEY PRINT BIBLES!!! NO!!!! PEOPLE LIKE U RUIN THE MORAL FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE!!! GO PLAY NINTENDO!!!

[Cm0n3y34]

@DoopaLoopa

irrelevant...lol

and in comparison, what you are saying is like being mad at god for changing the bible.

[LukeShetler]

@DoopaLoopa Actually, anybody with any knowledge of history knows that people do write their own versions of 'God's Word.'

There are over 20,000 different early versions of the New Testament known to man.

Furthermore, there are numerous books in the New Testament which are almost certaintly written by random church members with an agenda and a very different vocabulary.

To top it off, the Gospels of the New Testament written by people who never saw Jesus, 40-85 years after Jesus' death.

[DoopaLoopa]

@LukeShetler NO NO NO NO we refuse to read any further!!!! Nice try Satan! there exists ONE right bible, one right god, one right way to fuck, one right way to set the table, and one right way to repeat the bible's ULTIMATE AND UNCHANGING TRUTHS!!!

Anything else = false and spurious! Just like this cover of this song from our sons favorite game which really exists as an allagory to david from the old testament so we approved of him playing it. Besides that there only exists evil video games

[LukeShetler]

@DoopaLoopa I actually knew people like that growing up, lol...

No Pokemon, no RPGs or board games, no Toy Story because there's an 8 ball in it.

But beating your children or leaving your pets at the side of the road to die of starvation? FUCK YEA!

Sorry, lol. I had interesting neighbors...

[Septimuspain]

@DoopaLoopa You Cannot Imagine the Immensity of the Fuck I Do Not Give...

I came Here For The Black Mages And Nobuo Uematsu, Not to Hear About Your Fucking Religious Views.

Begone Foul Beast.

[16RandomDude]

@DoopaLoopa And on that day, not a single fuck was given.

[FireRagnarok]

@16RandomDude

WIN.

Anyhoo, s/he terminated his account. I can only hope s/he went ahead and became an hero.

[MajinBadat]

@DoopaLoopa Thats funny I don't remeber a sorceres from the future trying to ruin Davids life when I was in Sunday school as a kid.

[NachanDesu]

Listening to the Black Mages do these songs makes me cry...They really do. lol. So incredible.

[baggy131]

This is so awesome :D

[iSoulJr]

12 idiots didnt make it to the part where laguna appears :c poorfools~

[Sliider36]

epic



[richythepianoman]

IMO FF7 & FF8 have the best soundtracks. Nobuo in his prime. Just wished he stayed at Squaresoft / SquareEnix. FF has never been the same since. His music was the soul of the game!!!

[trjordan]

@richythepianoman don't forget FF9.

[musashidtr]

@richythepianoman yes you have that right. He is actually a true living god. Its crazy hu

[assassinmakidoo]

11 people missed the "LIKE" button

[semjaavria]

Love the clip from "The Legendary Beast" at 2:26-2:41

[Designedbydeath]

I love everything about this. Uematsu just makes the best music.

[Acuzio]

Wish they'd have had a Barret cosplayer run in...

[Sejma]

@Acuzio The Man with the Machine Gun in this case is Laguna, not Barret...

[Acuzio]

@Sejma Ahh, maybe its just the military part of my mind made me think "Laguna has an assault rifle, has to be Barret." In this case, needs moar Laguna!

[warmpancaxe]

@Sejma thank you for clearin that up :)

I have to remind people of the original Desperado quite frequently

[semjaavria]

@Sejma correct. and love the name, so close to mine

[TehGriffzor]

Is there anything Uematsu can't do. He has to be the Asian version of Chuck Norris, but instead of roundhouses, he blows peoples heads off with his fat beats and sick tunes.

[atukomanga1]

11 people...I can't think of anything creative for it, so 11 people just suck.

[Zombievomit]

@atukomanga1 11 people have leg cramps

[atukomanga1]

@Zombievomit lol

[lordertai]

UEMATSU IS A GOD! best japanese prog/rock band of all time

[ctdiamond83]

This one is for you Dennis. ;-)

[Felix5513]

nerd rage!

[mg4820]

It's so unfortunate that the Black Mages have disbanded...

[ff3player]

@mg4820 They did, damn I would like to see them live

[ghostjoker101]

this is an amazing version of the man with the machine gun

[simonthewarrior]

fantastic

[OrangeBandanna]

Here's the thing that pisses me off about this song: It's great. It's one of the greatest damn tracks I've ever heard in a game. And every single remix I've heard absolutely suck. Except this one. Why?

[animeconfan01]

@OrangeBandanna Because the Black Mages are pretty much performing all of Mr. Uematsu's music.

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

@OrangeBandanna Because this is Nobuo's band and Nobuo created the song so of course it would be awesome!

[michaelalowther]

best song in any FF game :P

i remember when i first got in a fight as laguna and thinking how amazing the new battle music was :)

[SparktheHedgehog]

Nobuo's rocking that damn keyboard

[ripvantwinkletoes]

Excellent! When I played FFVIII I'd get psyched every time it went to the other world, just cos it meant I'd hear this tune again. These guys rock it.

[trjordan]

these guys are all great... Nobuo is a genius and the rest of the guys are awesome! Tsuyoshi Sekito also great guitarist!!!!

[Crok425]

Nobuo Uematsu must do more FF music why the damn SE put his office in another place... yes Nobuo quit because he didn't like his new office in another place, DAMN YOU SQUARE ENIX.

[InflatableKMH]

Goddamn, these guys ROCK!!!!!! You'd have to be eitehr crazy or stupid to not like them

[SephirothLamarre]

if there exists a final fantasy god, then it's uematsu. im really happy to see the concert in cologne, july 2011, dedicated only to uematsu's final fantasy works, including the worlds first playing of a song from final fantasy versus.

[needless1412]

and onther thing 11 idoit we dont dislike

[needless1412]

the best battle them ever from the best rpg game too .... :D when i get nerves my leg hurt me = laguna XD and guys there is another great muisc though the game not too great game mana khemia muisc nefrtiti

[adawong]

God I love this song!  Laguna <3

[EricSLJr]

There's 11 people getting a face full of machine gun tonight.

[VictoryZetaMKII]

@EricSLJr or leg cramps....

[Sakuraflower90]

Sure he is!=D

[yellowmegavidz]

This song is so awesome, but alas, it cannot be played with the same energy that it is listened to... When I hear this, I go off!! But it's not the same for the people playing it (especially in the first 3rd of the song)

[zloidz]

OMFG NOBUO IS PLAYING THE PIANO XD

[yellowmegavidz]

@zloidz um, no - he plays the organ

@yellowmegavidz Hehe yeah I knew, sorry
