Metal Gear Solid Theme - Play Symphony

[immortal7billion]

I'll start here.

[deathgrave100]

リキッドオオオオオオオオオオオオオオオオオオ！！！！！！！！­！！！！！！！！

[TerranDL]

nostalgia, amazing

[mgs117a]

.M.ost .G.reatest .S.ymphony

[ullyvan310]

WHO IS THE COMPOSER OF THIS THEME SONG?

[333kingston]

@ullyvan310 Harry Gregson-Williams.

[Toa07]

@333kingston

Actually it's Takanari Ishiyama, not Harry Gregson-Williams. And unfotunatelly this is sort of a ripoff from Georgy Sviridov's "Winter Road" :(

[lordspinal]

woooooww what type of percussion is this!!!

[eks812]

@lordspinal it's a Tar , an arab one :)

[ToxsickSlice]

This song makes me cry :') I miss snake......

[Aussieroth7]

Hey, what the hell happened to my comment? Oh well, we need to get a proper CD, one that is made in a studio, every piece ever done by them, INCLUDING THIS VERSION OF THE METAL GEAR SOLID THEME! Let us start up a petition!

[NOMover9000]

next time they shou;d alo bring on monster hunter. epic music right there

[shattered1331]

were there trumpets clarinets tuba bassoon trombones etc. or did all the instruments have strings?

[KristianTNA]

Theres a sweeping arm cam there between 0.40-1.04 which of course comes at a premium so this performance was professionally recorded... question is where do i get hold of said videos

[robox97]

Perfect song to listen too before doing math exams tomorrow :)

[plot160]

metal gear always put me in a epic mood

[Anime96Vault]

Im itching for a movie......

[Philipp544]

OMG 4 people never played MGS o.O

[pitiponk1]

something's growing in my pants

[FlyiNGPeNGuiuiu]

This is so epiccccc

[audiosmile1992]

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDavid2222]

I LOVE Metal Gear games!! I'm replaying 1, 2, 3, and 4 right now. My favorite Harry Gregson Williams piece is the one at the end of MGS4 with Snake and Big Boss. It's beyond words, which is why they put it into music! lol

[realsoccerdude123]

MGS 1 !

[tckychang]

It saddens me that my friend got the MGS4 PS3 edition and says that the game sucks...

[shlombox]

@tckychang then your friend has no sense of what a good game is, i just beat mgs4 and it left me speechless it got a 10/10 get the game its only 10 bucks and its definatly worth it :D

[wrigy6]

This is truly a whole different level of awesome....

[fbdsjr]

Epic? No, this isn't epic, this is more than epic! *-*

[BozooMuro]

fucking AMAZING!

[asklakslas]

epic

[wiggum62]

great symphony for great song.....what else 

[MUGENanaya]

0:28 PURE AWESOMENESS

[ICBMPOiSon]

Huge... Simply Great

[METALGEARSOL1D]

Not to try and take away from Metal Gear Solid--greatest series ever made, but they should do a Mark Morgan tribute. They should play Deionarra's Theme, Planescape Main Theme, and Modoc Theme just to name a few.

[calvinnewspaper]

I gotta say! This version sounds pretty good!!!

[Vinc3ntPh4m]

Are these guys ever coming to London?

[Vinc3ntPh4m]

Eargasmic

[shlombox]

I swear I almsot fucking cried the first time I saw this pure beauty and epicness my god this is good

[Qahoa]

@shlombox not only you xD

[shlombox]

@KlimaticEgo well yes but get real Zelda would get the first one and mgs would get second..... Don't get me rong I'm a huge MGS fan too, i'm just saying

[hybrisss]

theme is so strong. pure emotions

[Aussieroth7]

@hybrisss It truly upsets me that this is retired because of some plagiarism issue... which really wasn't much of an issue to begin with.

[shadow94z]

If you thumbs down this, get a life, I bet you cant do better...

[o0bean0o]

dam the percussion is pretty pro and pretty into the music..play is the best band ever!!!

[Holydiver2107]

COME TO SKANDINAVIA (pref. Norway!)

[o0bean0o]

kinda sound like the battlefield theme song...LOVE IT!

[MandosMady]

most epic theme songs on earth: metal gear solid, battlefield, age of empires, command & conquer generals and jurassic park !!!!!!!!! HELL YEA !!!!!!!!! :D:D

i wish play sumphony would play the age of empires theme, because its an epic song from an epic game.....

[millionhera22]

the most epic game trilogy on earth = METAL GEAR SOLID

[janospraves]

theres 4 games dude :P lol

[Arvias]

@janospraves The 4th does not deserve to be mentioned. I was a fan by blood and the 4th ruined all. Not to mention the didn't even used the original theme song for being stolen from that russian guy. Bahh.

[Luthicwoot]

@millionhera22

Trilogy? There are four Metal Gear Solid games. :)

Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 4

[KDALove]

@Luthicwoot What about the PSP titles ;)

[belugerine]

sounds kinda like a lara croft game song but im just sying lol but a true master piece

[Apostle0fLove]

bfgsupreme!!! Lol...

Otacon: Snake, I ate a Piece of KFC! SNAKKKKKEEEEEEE!!!

Snake:Otacon, I dont care

Otacon:SNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAACCCCC­KKKKK!!!!

[mastaplaya3]

CRAB BATTLE!!!

[wheresmysoup]

This is literally the greatest video game theme and video game in history.

[Akabane101]

@wheresmysoup

I agree, i love the Metal Gear Solid theme and the halo one:) but the MGS one just has that more James Bondy feel and epicness haha

[KlimaticEgo]

If Video Games got Nobel Prizes, this series would be the first to receive one.

Every MGS gets a 12/10.

[oglej]

while im not qualified to say that this is the best game ever i do say that this one is definitely up there

[Chatuer]

@oglej u mean... up in the ass?

[oglej]

@Chatuer if thats where you like to stick them then probably, yes.

[bfgsupreme]

Otacon: snake awnser me! snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

snake: Otacon, i'm right behind you

Otacon: oh

[Qahoa]

arabic drums !

[Aussieroth7]

EVERYONE! There's a petition on petitiononline to get this motif back! Please join the cause to get it back! Look up MGSTAPPY on petitiononline

[Aussieroth7]

It's not spam! it's real!

[BossTrigger]

@Aussieroth7 This man speaks the truth.

[Darknight45618]

who agrees with me here that this game should have an hd remake?

[Aussieroth7]

I certainly do!

[Divinabellexa]

I agree!!! i think they should remake all MGS in one pack for PS3! this is the best game EVER!

[bfgsupreme]

totally agrre, has a Huge MGS fan, it deserves more games and some to be re-made into HDTV or LEDC-TV (if they exist)

[Naruto491multigamer]

@Darknight45618 it does coming in November

[tokijinblade]

@Darknight45618 1 year later........ it came true xD

[bibo680]

@Darknight45618 It has!!!

[Acid2Rider]

Damn great, I could listen to this all day.

The "Encounter" part with the chorus was just epic.

[Akaitsuki85]

Campbell: Snake, do you read me?

Snake: Loud and Clear.

[greggory1234567890]

ooooo i got goose bumps listening o this

[metaridlyfan]

@greggory1234567890

i know, same here. SNAAAAAKKKKE

[Derangedteddy]

Stunning

[stolaike]

:bave:

[loputg]

Fucking awesome !!!

[TomMoore9000]

MASTERFUL!!!!!!!!!!

[spideyfan300]

I was there! it was AWESOME!!!

[Falloutglitch]

11/10 Outstanding

[Venuspoop7]

"Major this is Snake,do you copy?"

[mikuhatsunevocal]

Eminance Orchestra's version had more emotion but this version has more life

[davidtruongfat]

doesnt that contradict iteslf because you need life for emotions and emotions create life

[Adjunta69]

I prefer the Eminance Orchestra's version , but it's really nice too ! :)

[Puferu]

agh i cant even download sa-mp -.-

[Inazumaa]

whats that

[ridonedo]

Dude......FUCKING AWSOME!!!! XD *CLAP*!!!

[limeymanftw]

The Eminence Orchestra's version is better but this is still good.

[RyuPatrol]

wow

[Aussieroth7]

that's it, time for a petition!

[Farcryevolution]

I say we hunt down those musicians and force them to play each major track from Major video game titles, whilst we sit there recording it. THINK ABOUT IT! the best videogame soundtracks ever made!!! I need these or at least to be there at that concert!!!

[Homer2005444]

@Farcryevolution IM IN ILL BRING THE CHAIRS. lol

[Farcryevolution]

@Homer2005444 ohoho (french laugh) zen i do say my good sir i shall bring the potatoes for reasons which are better left unmentioned XD

[Homer2005444]

@Farcryevolution ... POTATOES LOL WDF ARE WE GUNNA DO WIT POTATOES... i mean what cant we do XD

[Wakaboo14]

@Farcryevolution Hell yeah! MGS, Halo, Legend of Zelda, Battlefield, Sonic, Mario, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Those are my favorite music theme songs, in no particular order (Although, I love Legend of Zelda's theme a teeny bit more...)

[LbeatsKira]

@Farcryevolution best plan ever

[MandosMady]

@Farcryevolution let me begin the list:

1: Age of Empires

2: CoD MW2 (don't rage, the music is good)

3: C&C Generals

4: Ezio's Family

etc....

[M40A3]

@MandosMady i mean the list is goood but...... YOU FORGOT ACE COMBAT they had the best music of any games from anytime HANDS DOWN

never played it!?!?!?

Search for liberation of Gracemeria

and im sure you will agree

[Shurryy]

@M40A3

SHIET! THEY DID! D:

[oorreeooss]

u canty go thru a lifetime without listening to the MGS theme, but this just made my day 0.o

[KOKOTKO222111]

I am stunned how beautiful can video game music be when it is played live!!

Luv it! ♥

[Shniager88]

Just cant agree with you. Music really awesome

[Serieth]

and now the 360

[kill3r4lyf007]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!! *CLAPPING*

[Aussieroth7]

Say.... Who here reckons that we should get a petition to get EVERY single piece that PLAY! has performed in a two or even three special CD set? Perhaps even take a small amount of time off so the CD can be done PROPERLY!? I reckon we should. I'd gladly wait a year, hell a DECADE, for it to be done in proper fashion. I just want to hear Metal gear Solid in full orchestra on a CD, along with ALL of the masterpieces. Shouldn't be that hard, especially with legions of fans backing it. What say you?

[KTiskewl3]

i reckon we learn some english! totally kidding broni. i do agree with ya though

[Aussieroth7]

LOL, I can only do so much with limited characters. heh heh heh. Good to know I'm not aone though.

[tubaWA]

that would be cool if ther was a PLAY! CD

[otpenagos]

Yeah!, I agree with you!, I love this performance, just the greatest band!

[metaridlyfan]

@Aussieroth7 hell yes! you can count me in!

[Holydiver2107]

@Aussieroth7 You are perfrectly correct.

[oldskoolraveruk]

@Aussieroth7 theres a few on overclocked remix and one particulariy i coin as better than this. look for orchestral version....lol

dj rogue

[zachpiano]

@Aussieroth7 dude! couldn't agree more. i'm really surprised this great arrangement isn't already on CD as it trumps the existing versions of the main theme available out there IMHO.

also, hey :P

[SouSporting]

@Aussieroth7 I SAY BRING IT!

[phallll]

I love the middle eastern twist they put on the beginning.

[flashportalnet]

meh, snare are better

[g8282]

if they were to make an Mgs movie..they should get the voice actor to play snake..

[ReginaldMaulding]

David Hayter actually does resemble Snake a little bit... it would be a real treat lemme tell ya.

[P0cketLove]

Ah man, hope these guys come back to Sydney

[TheKingofnoob]

I was kinda dissapointed when they didnt play this in Stockholm...I was so waiting for it! But the rest of the consert was orgasm for the ears, so i suppose it's fine.

[Aussieroth7]

Strange, I saw another video on youtube which had the MGS theme, and it said it was the Stockholm performance...... Maybe they just didn't play it on THAT particular night.

[GeekyHan714]

The video clips are done nicely, and hell I'm just getting goose bumps watching this. I'm definatly gonna book some tickets, hell I don't care if I gotta go half way around the world >_>

[Dukie30]

they only play older game themes so Mario Brothers not Mario Galaxy

[Kingvenom7]

the best game symphony ever

[Aussieroth7]

.....You know, I think this is plays best rendition of the MGS1 a.k.a TAPPY theme. Especially with the guy on the congas/bongos.

[Aussieroth7]

I'd love to see the day when PLAY! releases a COMPLETE CD set of everything they played. Their CD out now just isn't enough. And also, plagiarism. My. ARSE!!! I will say there are similiarities to Sviridov's work, but they're still different enough to stand alone! Some people will do anything for a cheap scam. It sickens me that THIS theme was missing from MGS4, it's what gave MGS the musical backbone. Anyway, back to this, how I'd love to hear it again, in full concert and/or a properly made CD

[jens8550]

I believe i've heard this in the end credits, i'm not sure but it could be it's not. I don't want to give you false hope :p

You're right about the Full collection CD too, I would really want to treaten my ears with the joyful melodies of game music without illegal downloading it.

[Aussieroth7]

You do, when you play through the game a third time... Awesome theme, is it not? How I DREAM to hear this in full audio quality on a decent disc!

[ToaHannah007]

Same here! But where can I get the CD?

[Aussieroth7]

You have to know where to look.

[Aussieroth7]

They do have one on their website. Sadly, no luck, it doesn't have the MGS theme on it. I remember being told of one before their official selling CD, but I was too late to get it when it was in Australia... Plus, this has been attacked by the guys representing Sviridov, saying Hideo playjurised his work... Similiraties to Winter Road, yes, but I reckon they were different enough to stand alone. ARGH! How it angers me that this masterpiece may never be heard on a MGS game again! THIS IS MGS!!!!!

[KibaPwnU]

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ANYMORE!!! Got tickets for Play! 20.03.2009!!!!! 3 more days!!!! It's gonna be so epic :D

[arturskiller]

that mgs 2 theme

[Aussieroth7]

MGS 1 actually, MGS 2 uses the same motif, but it's a different structure.

[badlover55]

Avec une Darbouka !!! Trop bien !! :) Vive MGS, un des jeux qui m'aura marqué à vie ! ^^

[MultigamerLygre]

Play! A Video Game Symphony are performing in Oslo, Norway - March 20th 2009 =)

[ChronosVp]

I hope they come to Buenos Aires. ¬¬

[thelittlegodmother]

I know! I have tickets! OMG! I CAN'T BELIVE IT!

[wavemaster5]

i hope they come anytime to hamburg or something^^

[tarkeke]

it was awesome :)

Too bad they didn't have any mario galaxy music though :(

[ChronosVp]

Glorious

[xdracolichx]

Went to the Play! Symphony in Seattle. Was phenominal. =]]]

[PYRODUMBASS]

[sultankraver]

[solidus311]

Brings a tear to my eye.

[gorstrom]

[yitih]

[knappin93]

[AlWoolridge]

yeah go ask the us navy for one xDD

Awesome, 10 stars (out of 5)

[TheOnlyTempesT]

best theme song for anything dude, this makes the star wars theme song that was so badass back in the 70's to sound like shit... MGS best created art ever!

[larrythebannana]

i whanted to go but i coudnt.i bet it was cool

[xxBASTETx]

Ахренеть) как людей прет с этого трека) на чем тока не играли )) я в шоке )

[mrnoobJI]

[Fredrik1ST]

NRK symphony-orchestra FTW!!

Go Snake :D

[SayAnything8]

MGS is The Best never played the 4th and story line is very confusing i don't get it at all

[FakeFoxHound]

Thd Best

[Pr0pheCy88]

MGS is EPIC - that's it... fckn nice music and game

[murix23]

They did really good on the MGS theme :D

[YYFFZZ]

love it

mgs FOR EVER

PEACE FROM SAUDI ARABIA

[simplecreativity]

My favorite soundtrack from any game, movie or whatnot, -ever-. It's arranged more perfectly than any other theme I can think of. Halo is the only other that's within a thousand leagues of equality.

And for all of you arguing about it - the theme started in MGS 1, and has been present in EVERY SINGLE INSTALLMENT SINCE. Including VR Missions. So stop arguing. A composer like Gregson-Williams knows that when something is working this well, it HAS to be carried through.

Cheers.

[SuperSaiyanAl]

H G-W was composer for 2-4. He had nothing to do with 1. TAPPY composed that theme; he simply improved the ever-loving hell out of it, and turned it into an epic work of art.

...oh my God. Harry Gregspon-Williams. H G-W. G-W. GW.

La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo...La-Li-Lu-Le-L­o!

[simplecreativity]

Thanks for the correction. Though, from a grammatical standpoint, I only -implied- that Gregson-Williams wrote it in the first one >.>

Cheers, though. I appreciate it.

H G-W FTW!

[kaptinkurktutorials]

i hope all of you that are typing "mgs 1 theme" notice that the title is metal gear solid theme. It never says which one so stop arguing that it mgs 1 not mgs 4

[Cetramarius]

Wasnt this theme melody totally absent from MGS4 ?? I don't remember hearing it, sadly.

[RandomTurret]

it was there in the final battle with liquid snake!!!

[SuperSaiyanAl]

...Nnno, you're thinking of the Encounter theme, which is present in the main theme. The actual motif that's used as the series theme isn't in MGS4.

[RandomTurret]

yo does that say "AL" after super saiyan cuz imma laugh. lol cuz my name is al to!!! NOW DONT ARGUE WITH ME!!!

[SGTxTONKA]

sry but this is the mgs 1 theme

[Dostwyn]

sry but what makes you think that this would be something else than the MGS1 theme?

[tomygunny1989]

sry guys, but is there a difference between this theme and the theme from MGS I?

[Marci124]

EPIC

[sof21194]

best shit of all time -says my brother :D

[marick626]

this has got to be one of the greatest video game compositions ever.

[RedikCZE]

Love it! Metal Gear 4Ever!!!
