The Music of Video Games [423] Metal Gear Solid

[localboi25]

i recieved this game on my birthday, and ever since then i have beaten it every year on my birthday haha! great memories, a game that defined my childhood and a franchise i will continue to love and remember:)

[AlienwareM11xOwner]

Holy Crap! I just realized Im one of the top comments from over a year ago lmao. Props to everyone who listens to this soundtrack and loves it! I can still remember almost every area that a particular sound track plays at

[Diakabenda]

this game was ahead of his time .. was the first time that i felt like being a part of a movie ..

[Charsept]

( ! )

[erettew]

Oh, memories. I used to get so pissed off when ALERT went off. 

[gokuresidentevil]

I love This Game ( Italy)

[TheBazman111]

Fucking hate this series one of the worst and most overated series of games ever along with castlevania konami are not very good games makers.

[type87randomXD]

@TheBazman111 And you, my friend, are not very good troll.

[justmedawg]

@TheBazman111 Instead of saying how you are wrong and spitting insults, I'm just gonna say to each it's own...

You know what, fuck it, MY tastes > your tastes :P

[hollowsephiroth]

@TheBazman111 And you are just anothe rperson who wants more mind numbing explosions rather than something with storytelling and gameplay. Enjoy your COD. I'm gonna play something heartrending.

[TheBazman111]

@hollowsephiroth no I hate cod with a passion as well medal of honour and battle feild but the story in this is a load of shit play horribly and is not heart rendering at all because the charaters have got no deph to them or make you want to care about them this is one of the most overated series ever along with zelda and final fantasy apart from 7 and castlevania is shit also konami just do not make good games never had.

[hollowsephiroth]

@TheBazman111 And next you're gonna say that Mario is the worst platforming game ever made. Sorry to accuse you of playing COD, that was my mistake. I guess to each his/her own, since I don't know your gender, I'm not gonna guess. Good day sir/madame.

[TheBazman111]

@hollowsephiroth would not say it is the worst platform game mario most definetly and certainly is very very overrated I will tell you what is my favorite game of all time jointly between streets of rage 2 and suikoden 2 witch I know is a konami game but is the best game they ever made.

[hollowsephiroth]

@TheBazman111 When it comes to platformers, I honestly prefer the Megaman X series (1-6+8).

[h00ntube]

REVOLVER OCELOT!!!

[ChaziChaz89]

epic!



[trueblue37]

i miss these days soooooooooooooo much :( and resident evil............the games just dont feel the same now

[soldier14E]

wheres keanu reeves?

[lavoscloud]

@soldier14E Speed rocks. I love that movie.

[Aristowi]

Oh man, I would love to replay this whole game with the engine of MGS4 on the PS3, that mission when you return to Shadow Moses really got me stunned visually. It would be a wet dream for me. MGS1 was awesome

[geromd91]

The best stuff for the PSX

[snipedog]

The encounter yeah !

[tylerdurden3891]

This game has so much epic music, I feel like it needs at minimum 3 parts to cover it all.

[dakatubes]

metal gear is a masterpiece. one of my most favourite game, no doubt.

[hazmat151]

one of the most groundbreaking games of all time, and definitely the finest offering on playstation outside of FF7.

[XaviNL]

Isnt the second song from the Special Missions pack?... nice to hear, but still, don't cheat your own audience.

[Pusga2]

haha. loved this songs when i heard the on the lbp mgs dlc

[oOoJenovaoOo]

What's the title to the music that starts at 8:18? I've been looking for ages and can't find it, any help is appreciated!

[GamerGeorge]

@oOoJenovaoOo It might be "The Best Is Yet To Come".

[DrStrangefate]

@oOoJenovaoOo

It's "The Best is Yet To Come"

Quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music ever to grace video game history.

I wept when it replayed in Metal Gear Solid 4 when Snake revisits Shadow Moses.

[CommanderSpongebob]

I listened to this while doing my homework. I got a grade of 100 over 50 points.

[AlienwareM11xOwner]

"The Best Is Yet To Come" is such a beautiful song. I think of my childhood every time I hear it. So relaxing :)

[vspecialist]

I bet the part from 1:35-1:52 would sound awesome on an electric guitar

[justin1064]

snake....Snake?!.....SNAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!

[vspecialist]

@justin1064 That will be with me for the rest of my life :)

[g8282]

One thing about the Metal Gear Series...is the story...all links tie in together...and no loose ends.

[reniisgod]

4:03 is the start of epicness...one of the most absorbing games ever to grace our screens.

[strake001]

another good thing about MGS1 was the fact that the story, though crazy, had not completely gone off the deep end like in MGS2

[agroves120]

The story itself isn't as crazy as people make it out to be, it was the way in which it was presented that made it seem weird

[Larrylarp]

I don't see why I got a -2 for my comment, considering that I, too, have a right to my opinion. MGS4's cutscenes were WAY too long. This game is great, and so were MGS2 and MGS3. But MGS4 was just too much. I can see why diehard fans like it, but diehard fans might not have what it takes to look at things critically.

[MegaFan1994]

@Larrylarp Don't you know one is supposed to leave their opinion at the door when entering the YT comment section or get spammed with -1's?

[Larrylarp]

I know, you're right, and that is why it's so much fun doing the complete opposite.

Seriously, YouTube comments are just bullshit 99% of the time anyways. From now on, I'll just hide them.

[nurman666]

08:18

[Larrylarp]

The good old days. At least in MGS1, the length of the cutscenes was still handled properly. MGS4 is just horrible. Horribly overrated, at least.

But this just gets me nostalgic. I'd say this is the second best Metal Gear game (after Snake Eater).

[HaMaDa2700]

I feel sorry for you ..... I really do

cause you are just like my little brother (( 6 years old ))

just running around and killing everyone without knowing any thing about the plot and the story

but hey ...... I can understand that your brine isn't capable of handling this great plot ..... just my little brother brain

[Larrylarp]

Well, first of all, you have got it completely wrong (and you spell incorrectly). I love a good story in video games. I NEED a good story in my video game. Grand Theft Auto IV, Half-Life, Monkey Island, Mass Effect, you name it.

I completely understood the plot in MGS4, but it was still horrible. The melodramatic japanese nonsense dialogue was so bad that none of my friends wanted to play it, so I'm not alone. The cutscenes were way too long. I don't just "run around killing", thank you.

[SenselessJacko117]

first few video clips? no thats from MGS

[jimmimak]

I love the theme tune, esp loving the keyboard synth section. I heard Konami no longer has the rights to this original tune, so all of their tunes afterwards have been derrivatives of this rather than the actual tune... anyone else hear about this>?

[jorgemiguelhp]

I want to be Snake when I grow...

[sintality]

One of the tracks sounds like a score from the film Speed.

[palindromepictures]

I agree whole-heartedly. I have always thought that the two soundtracks sounded awfully similar (especially the main themes from each). If you go to my channel, my latest video is a video I cut of the two soundtracks mashed together. Enjoy!

[robaart]

When I got married last year, my wife and I entered the lunch reception to the MGS theme.

Fuck yeah.

[greyfox121]

fucking awesome

[nerd2max]

Hard to believe she let you do that lol

[robaart]

My wife is a gamer too. During the lunch reception, nothing but instrumental, lounge, and/or jazzy remixes of video game songs played. To the average person, it all sounded like elevator music. However, the other gamers in attendance were like, "WTF??? Hey... Chrono Trigger! Halo! Mario World!"

Fun stuff.

[TheShoe1990]

i was thinking about that the other day. i teach yoga classes & i play soothing remixes of donkey kong, mega man, chrono trigger, & other games in there. unfortunately, nobody knows what they are. i still play them though :)

[bloodnchocolate]

@robaart Good stuff, as well.

[bloodnchocolate]

@robaart This is one of the most badass things I have ever read in my 14 years on the internet, and almost 21 years of reading, period. You ROCK.

[bobcharlotte]

@robaart you are a GOD!!! haha :)

[AlienwareM11xOwner]

@robaart Wow, that is friggin SWEET dude!

[fuckcomments]

@robaart Divorced now are we?

[robaart]

@fuckcomments

What, because females can't possibly enjoy video games? You can just sit there in incredulity while I retire to my bed with my beautiful wife.

Cheers.

[fuckcomments]

@robaart Sorry about the divorce. SNAKE? SNAKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[Reaper8989]

@robaart Dude, you are an American Hero.  Your wedding must have been the most epic event of the day in the world. Nice.

[castleagechaos]

@robaart omg that would have been awesome my wife dont like video games and it kills me somedays lol

[ItsLiquidSnake]

Do you like my sun glasses?

[saiyanohumano]

hahahah xDDDD, liquid rlz

[badlover55]

Hmm ? Foot prints ...

[delarge84]

I still think PS1 is the most revolutionized game console in video game history. This blew me off the water when it came out in 1995.

[daveman247]

wuh?.... Just a box.

[g8282]

LIQUIIIIID!!

[yogothegogo]

:( times like these i wish the story was still going.

one of those games that will be remembered probably forever.

but i have a wierd feeling somethings going to happen, history will repeat itself, and solid snake will have his corpse reserrected and placed into a cyborg ninja suit...which would be freakin badass

lol

[megagoosey]

at this point solid snake isn't dead

[godfunk]

Maybe somebody can help me out, but I can't remember the Main Theme anywhere in the first Playstation game. In fact I don't remember anything like it until the title montage in MSG 2. Does it exist in the game, or was it just something they added to the soundtrack?

[topraman517]

It came during the intro of the VR Missions disc. The 2nd track is from the VR missions disc as well.

[SenselessJacko117]

Actually, 1st one came from the MGS: VR Missions  2nd came from MGS and MGS:VR Missions

[ChuckVanDamme]

best psx game

[k1ller1988]

One of the best themes ever !!!!!!!!!

[IneptTroopr]

"Warhead Storage" is by far the coolest MGS theme ever imo

[FuryBrand220]

I was 9 when I first played this,and after I beat it I knew everything about nuclear weapons!Those long cut-scenes were like historical documents.

[Senquell]

Hey, i was 10! this game was the best for the PSX!

[BlindeGardine]

one of the best game ever made! :D

[Livyxel]

This game is seriously a classic~

[xjamanta]

the game

[wikikomoto]

FUCKER

[greatofray]

04:06 my favorite! escape!

[Zoey2k1]

Every time i hear this music, its pushes the adrenaline level up and at the same time, its kinda haunting and its something you never forget. I still get goosebumps when facing psycho mantis and when facing REX. A legendary game with legendary music. thx for posting.

[babarudi]

crank :P

[SpikeIncorporated]

Yes, MGS!

[theulair]

Nothing beats the "Discovery" Theme @ 5:07

That ones awesome

[lilross2k6]

i don't recall ever hearing that MGS theme while playing the game...i remember once when i beat it the song during the credits changed to something different but i could never get that to happen again...maybe it was this song...i don't remember...

[emiasis]

alert mode and rex'S lair theme arE my all time favorite out of all the metal gear series yyyaaaaaa WOOOOOHHOOOOOO

[SorsanSuuriAfro]

My favorite game ever!

[aldi404]

excellent, keep going!

[dirkovic2112]

Ahh, finally!

I remember eagerly anticipating the arrival of Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation, and the game didn't disappoint.

Excellent game and excellent music.

Easily one of my favourite games/theme, if not my favourite.

Ah, I'll have to play it again this weekend!

[rockprince72]

sweet

[MandrikSG]

The Best is Yet to Come as sung by Aoife Ní Fhearraigh really mixed well with the story, BGM, and sounds of MGS. I used to beat this game over and over just to listen to The Best is Yet to Come. I eventually bought the soundtrack as well as one of Aoife's CDs. She's a great singer! The game itself was so original and fun for its time. There were so many twists and turns throughout the game that really made it an unforgettable adventure. Thanks for posting this!

[al122385]

The music during ALERT mode is just plain awesome and my favourite alert music of the whole series.

[bakablitz]

fucking brilliant!

[FinalGamerJames]

What stirring music, I love that beautiful ending theme of the woman singing.

Though my favourite of the game soundtrack is Rex's Lair when you're first physically at the feet of Metal Gear Rex. Scary.

[canadianeh24]

finally! bout time you got to this one!

[spezza157]

awsome game music props to hideo kojima

[kindaaredneckkindaar]

Way better game than MGS2

[Phillies64]

Each have their moments of brillance.

[kindaaredneckkindaar]

You are absolutely correct. I am more partial to this one as it seemed to have longer streams of game play. MGS2 always felt like 5 min of gameplay and 20 min of story. However the gameplay it had was GREAT! On the other hand the Psycho Mantis fight in MGS1 was probabally one of the most clever fights I have ever played in a video game.

[SpikeIncorporated]

I don't know, the boss fights in MGS4 where pretty sweet.

[kindaaredneckkindaar]

You are absolutely correct. MGS2 felt too much like 5 min of gameplay and 20 min of story to me. I liked the longer gameplay sequences of this one. Also when it comes to way too cool things in video games, the Psycho Mantis fight was second to none.

[Flackon]

Not really, no.

[Zoey2k1]

I actually just purchased the offiical soundtrack. search on ebay. everything, including S&P, was $10.57.

Incredible soundtrack! Possibly the best one in gaming! thx for posting.

[Oni64]

Hell yeah! sounds better than a movie.

[bandnerd525]

i forgot how good the music was on this game. thanks for putting it up.

[Rubberman202]

MGS had some sweet music.

[NintendoBengan]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! i love thios, thank you so much! this game is on my top 10 list of best games of all time
