The Advantage plays Mega Man 2 Flashman

[KainSilvermoon1]

That drummer is fucking sick.

[crackerzack138]

@KainSilvermoon1 That drummer is Zach Hill.

[CGervase92]

@crackerzack138 ...That drummer is Spencer Seim. Zach plays drums for Hella.

[crackerzack138]

@KainSilvermoon1 trained drummer Spencer Seim, of Hella.

[HarrrrrrD]

00:45 seek and destroy !!!!!! yeehhhhh metallica ImI

[ricktaylor20]

that drummers seriously good

[delithix]

nice!

[dartfrogger]

Flashman was always my first kill.......

[dudebazooka]

always beat metal man first. then used his weapon through whole game. smoked

[theoldrevolution]

first boss I beat was topman... foillowed by snakeman

I have never deviated form that base pattern.

MM3 was my first Megaman game... my mom had given me game genie for Christmas but it was fucked up and barely worked... thankfully she brought it back for something even better.

No idea who the first boss I beat on MM2 was but they were all in MM3 as well so I kinda do

[DannisRodman]

The first boss I had beaten when i was 7 >..<

[alexcage08]

Sick!



[Albanbanbanban]

43 people could never beat Flashman xD

[erasermcfleafly]

@Albanbanbanban LOL thats pretty pathetic. i fight him first cause hes the easiest.

[PhilomathBret]

@Albanbanbanban That's sad cuz he's the easiest boss in the game.

[angelicwaste]

dude bass sound is so goood

[krazyzark]

cool, but not my favorite theme (or theme cover). that bassist is ripping it up though.

[madhatter5353]

BAD ASS

[iXetsuei]

bass player = morgan grimes from chuck

[kidmurdock]

@iXetsuei Just looked it up. It is not him.

[iXetsuei]

@kidmurdock I wasn't serious, it just looks like him. If I was serious I would have said his actual name.

[TequilaAssassin4eva]

To those who wonder why the crowd seems rather dull, I have a rational explanation for it- Either they know where the theme comes from and are completely blown away speechless by how awesome it sounds, or they have no idea what the band is playing but are completely blown away speechless by how awesome it sounds.

[rastwet]

crowd is may b packed with black ops fans only :)

[Tophtop]

Dude fuck this crowd. I'd be doing so many back flips into their faces if I was here, The Advantage is too good to just stand there and watch.

[Laurelindo]

Does anyone know the name of that metal song that has a similar-sounding chorus?

It is very similar to 0:59-1:10.

[Japxican]

this crowd fucking blows

[Faceman400]

uhm what is wrong with the crowd



[laguirre944]

the crowd doesn't even know what the fuck theyr playin!!!! hahahaha assholes

[neogalahad]

@laguirre944 the nerd is not strong with this crowd

[LordNothing]

sounds great!



[fastvedub1]

That was great,,i prefer the mini bosses..but these guys have a very clean, tight sound to them you have to appreciate,,the drummer is bad ass,i seen him do kraids from metroid .he jam's.nice vid

[housemonzter]

Fuckiin awesome!!

[kricku]

Those are some big hats

[vppmks]

if i have a song , i'll choose it as my ringtone.

[natflag]

i could listen to them play that all day!

[Gearsdisraeli]

LOVE the way spencer goes hunchback when he plays the drums

[themadmallard]

@Gearsdisraeli

yeah, he looks like a coil-wound spring waiting to BOING.

[Cheeseman822]

This is some of the grooviest & most awesome shit I have ever seen.

Those men are heroes.

[abiturensohn06]

looks like the crowd has been time-stopped

[psylentknight]

@abiturensohn06 haha, nice.

[MenkeriosAndemicael]

man I was obsessed with this song as a kid... I think I even made a tape of it for car rides

[awarlock82]

MEGA MAN 2, one of the best games ever on NES. FUCKING FLASH MAN DUDES!! I love that stage and boss. The music from mega man 2 was epic. I still remember them up till this day. Fucking classics

[premier6666]

It IS kind of of odd how the crowd is just silently staring. I'd expect at least some head bobbing or something. Maybe they're robot masters in disguise.

[dajuker]

Anyone know who the guitarist with the black Gibson SG is???

[sagla666]

Perfect! Hey guys how about play the Snakeman theme

[atsukinetsu]

by far the best flashman remix!!

And baseball helmets FTW lmao!!

[wddlnq]

If you was a game freak like I was when mega man 2 first came out, This will sound great.

[GrindSplatter]

Curse Nintendo for writing every catchy riff ever written!!!!

[maggyreb]

@GrindSplatter 'twas not nintendo, but capcom. even tho nintendo does write fantastic soundtracks.

[hmp22]

@GrindSplatter

Capcom says hi

[GrindSplatter]

@hmp22 ello Ello

[Satsuny]

Wicked!

[bambadep]

oh hey, another videogame band

[banduril]

@bambadep hahaha

[DaSpoilerGuy]

42 people didn't defeated Flashman.

[DaSpoilerGuy]

42 people didn't defeated Flashman.

[lonewander3931]

some body in the beginning said bubble man.

[ransman413]

thumbs up if brentalfloss, advantage, and D&B kick megaman music from awesome to autologihippopotomonsterosiseq­uipadiawesome (yes making up words is fun)

[Darkfire512]

@ransman413 "autologihippopotomonsterosise­q­uipadiawesome dont return any result" - google said this

[ransman413]

@Darkfire512 thats why I made a point over telling you and all others that feel the same way that it is a made up word

[liracul]

What the hell is wrong with the crowd? Dance you fools~ DANCE I SAYYYY!

[ChrisX709]

that snare just has the most orgasmic sound xD

Flashman FTW!

[JevWeazle]

respect my mother

[MrocznaMaska]

FLASH,you fool Flash man ni the house and im breakin the rules.

[themadmallard]

i love the snare tuning...

[skateridis]

respect the drummer! :P

[DoctorSoctopus]

@skateridis

Respect the band!

[silentflame666]

42 people got pwned by the little clock-robots and the mecha-sniper joes in Flashman's stage.

[JMIRULEZ]

hoooly shit. that bassist fucking rocks!

[Jikk]

Really though, the drumming is what makes this sound so good.

[Jikk]

I like how the two guitarist and bassist are all calm looking, while the drummer back there is destroying his drum set.

Classic.

[GibsonGuy0707]

@Jikk HAHAHA! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

[modsoul325]

@Jikk Last time I saw them a few years ago, they had to find a new bass drum in the middle of the show, bc he stomped on the pedal so hard, he put a hole through it. Some random dude, happened to have a spare in his trunk and saved the show! So epic!

[heddykevy]

@Jikk Just killing it back there

[itchyisvegeta]

@Jikk That is the sign of a true drummer

[itchyisvegeta]

THIS SOUNDS REALLY FUCKING AWESOME LIVE! Yes I am yelling that!

[irulethisschool]

@Jikk fucking epic, indeed.

[Laurelindo]

@Jikk Guitarists and bass player: "let's play -.-"

Drummer: "hell yeah, LET'S PLAY!!! =O =D"

[EvilMaxWar]

@Jikk Im currently learning to play MM songs on the drums, ive been playing metal for 10 years but its very demanding to play megaman on the drums and keep it faithful to the original rhythmic. Its pretty much designed for making you play with clenched teeth; fast tempo and two hands on the hi hat non stop.

[truckcollision]

42 people are clearly brain dead & have no taste in awesomeness.

[mycatisromeo]

Is this band giving credit to Mega Man and Capcom for this sick song or do the audience members have no idea.

[truckcollision]

@mycatisromeo They give full credit that they are a Nintendo songs cover band. They in NO WAY try to play it off like they wrote this music. ps BUY BOTH THEIR ALBUMS! SO GOOD!! Really nice people too.

[lugiarikku]

Why the FUCK isn't the crowd screaming of orgasm?

[TequilaAssassin4eva]

@lugiarikku I've always wondered that myself, and the only conclusion I could draw out of it is that the audience is in such a state of awe that they're paralyzed beyond all recognition. It also makes me wonder how many people in the crowd know where this tune came from....I pity the ones who don't

[remaftp]

@lugiarikku They're just posers there for the obvious Mario and Zelda singles. The REAL fans know those obscure Mega Man B-sides.

[kahakusurf]

@lugiarikku I think i tried to "Like" your comment atleast halfway through the video! ha ha

[rddoeckel]

@lugiarikku Yeah I don't get it. These guys are seriously incredible. I would guarantee apeshit if I was there. 

[inukirby992]

@lugiarikku *eargasm. lugiarikku, y u goof? You done goofed, broham. Don't do it again.

[maskedbastard2522]

@lugiarikku I think they're confused as to what song they're covering. But true MM Fans know the deal!

[kainvorador549]

Holy speedy drummer hands, batman!

[Willkott]

0:25 Brave man trying sax mans epic pelve thrusts.

[suburbanindie]

This band is much tighter than the Minibosses... and I like that not all their stuff sounds like Iron Maiden boring harmonies I've heard a BILLION times

[iuhuh10110]

they're all so good at their instruments. it's good to know that these guy's social lives were even more non existent than mine in high school.

[theRichKing888]

Soooooooooo wicked !

I wanna play this game right now!

[DigitalCyborgman]

I need it on 8Track cassett... sick bastards

[dtwplaya]

I would be going nuts if I was in this crowd. Bunch of emos.

[desefortunadamente]

@dtwplaya

I was thinking the exact same thing. If i had been there, i'b be like omg! Flashman, i love megaman!

[PicoELoro]

@dtwplaya true man, i would be jumping and crying like a sonnava bitch!

[Fatality65]

Epic. Period.

[thebarbare69]

[Dangerouselm]

[angrytigerP]

Hey, an 8-bit cover band that doesn't ruin the song with hardcore extreme 'metal' shit.

I like these guys.

[t1nb4n3]

[coolchanga]

MEGAMAN 2 has the best music for a nintendo videogame ... and this guys really played awesome this one :D

[deadbeatslacker]

I love mega man music. Capcom used to make the best 8 bit music. If you think the drummer awesome he's an even better guitarist. Check out his band hella.

[szymon308]

man this rocks!! would love to hear this live!

[judgementdayband]

Such a great band! I wish we could play a show with them.

[MrGossardX]

Best music in the game... I learned to play it on guitar as well.

[dudeinthesea]

Epic performance!

[missingtheory]

[Gabrol]

[Dorkus89Malorkus]

ahahahaha ahahaa ahaha how cool isn't this! :D hahaha

[Coolman9273]

man the music is sick as hell but their stage prescence is weak...

[kena4533]

Did they ever do anything off little nemo. That was pry my favorite game just for the story line. I know the advantage pretty well but am yet to find them do anything from that game.

[darklordmol99]

HOLY SHIT! that's sick!

[torturesofthedamned]

kick-fucking-ass!!!!!!

[richtaur]

Well they're playing pretty well and of course I love the source material but boy are these guys boring to watch. Don't just play your instruments, dudes, put on a damn SHOW!

[DeFlanko]

The Advantage are now on Pandora!!

[AAtaak]

these guys are horrible.

[Larux87]

Epic exciting guitarist moves on 1:04

[NytFantom]

@Larux87

[leah78100]

[marclb]

@Larux87 Dude I have never laughed so fuckn hard ! ! Best comment left on a Youtube Video Award goes to Larux87

[fetaltorpedo]

This band is all drummer. I've seen better guitar work on youtube but the drums are unmatched

[jodydessi]

I agree. He didn't miss a single note!

[aphamd]

That drummer is sick.

[Gearsdisraeli]

Listen to him play guitar!

The other group he's in is named 'Hella'

[carizilla]

spencer that plays guitar in hella- is playing drums in this band.

[Gearsdisraeli]

@carizilla

That's what I said. :\

[denverm4x]

@aphamd he's no zach hill though..

[InsomniumX]

@aphamd He´s actually Hella´s guitarist!

[lordofthechin]

@aphamd you should see the drummer he usually plays with.

[RobotFetish]

@aphamd he also plays a mean guitar

check out the band hella

[davidrush85]

@aphamd that drummer is Spencer Seim and he is the guitar player in Hella!

[kuunami]

@aphamd

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He's pretty damn good.

[JayDay111]

@aphamd seriously, he was playing so hard im surprised his set didnt break

[despondentbosco]

@aphamd Search for Hella. He plays equally sick guitar.

[athrios1]

Mega man das antiga é o q tem as melhores músicas...se bem q quase todos os jogos do nintendinho tem ótimas trilhas em seus jogos, inclusive castlevânia.

[stridren]

lol love the helmets

[Hyphy49]

fuuuuuck!! on the money!!!!!!

[djenrique]

fucking superb!!

[jodydessi]

I want to hear all 14 bosses of MM1 and MM2 from these guys.

[elbee12]

they have Bubbleman out there somewhere...i do not believe there is a video for it...but i found it while DL music...it sounds just like the track from the game...very epic...they also have Stage Select+Metal Man and Dr. Wily's Castle

[zacfitzsimmons]

Holy win. O_O

[Narutardation]

so brutal. my fingernails just exploded

[dingastinga]

gsaisaipshdafiodshaihodoaoduio­hufjhdf!

(I can't even speak right after hearing THIS piece of awesome!)

[ironmaiden1979]

GREAT!

[juankapo08]

eata de pelo bueno man excelent very good

[Kagalei]

I love how everyone just shut up when they started.

[wingnut4427]

that was soooo BAAAAAD ASS !!! I LOVED IT !!! :D

[agetro82]

dead on quality. much cleaner than minibosses

[jetsal]

The minibosses were never dirty! :[

[FMNikoyo]

@jetsal

The minibosses aren't bad by any standards. They just aren't as good as the Advantage.

[macri12345]

so true though, you have spencer from hella (easily one of the most talented duos of this decade) like you can't go wrong with them

[rafft]

Does anyone else think that the hook in this song sounds just like the one in "I'm a Man" by Spencer Davis Group (c. 1967)?

[mslartibartfast]

That's a good call, it's very similar, and only differs with the last note, which is a few steps off.

[187Guitarplayer]

i very love this performance.. nice sound =)

[Ramkang1978]

waoooo so great hello from Panama

[seriffaviator]

this is almost too good

I think this is the 'sublime' Wordsworth was always describing
