The Protomen: Hope Rides Alone (Music Video)

[project0omega]

this is pretty cool its like an motion comic :p

[doctrow37]

Proto Man and Dr. Light disliked this.

[neonfox3]

@doctrow37 lolololol

[Galford4000]

Some of the stock footage was from Night of the Living Dead!

[CrazyAnimatorOfDoom]

They need a video for Will of One. 

[onethirdlbofbeef]

@CrazyAnimatorOfDoom man they just need a whole movie to tell this epic tale

[CrazyAnimatorOfDoom]

@onethirdlbofbeef Rock Opera style.

[Nebetsu]

The music was nothing but loud. It wasn't BAD, but it wasn't good in any way, shape, or form. Also, it might have been good to be able to tell what was going on. Everywhere online I keep seeing "HOPE RIDES ALONE" and this is it? What a letdown.

[andrenaveed]

@Nebetsu

Try to find the lyrics, and read along, a lot happens that isn't told to you in the song.

also, try to keep an open mind until you get to Act 2, because they get A LOT better with that album.

[ItsAllAboutTheUtube]

@Nebetsu

What andrenaveed said. Also, most of the people saying that are probably referring to the fourth song, Will of One (you'll see!)

[GBeltran767]

@Nebetsu Your really just contradicting yourself, by something isn't good in anyway means it's bad but you say it's not bad so how about making up your mind before you talk down about a song, I'm not saying don't say anything I respect your opinion but make sense and don't sound like an idiot. Also this is just one song out of many, try doing more research an less assumptions.

[shadowsintox9]

this is a cool song, cool vid.....but am I the only one who doesn't like how they changed the look of megaman? like protoman looks nothing like he does in the games. I know its a small thing, but I thinks its a respect thing. Just leave the characters and the world looking the same at least.

[VanstK]

Get hired by Capcom. Now.

[pillowby]

who is the top hat guy supposed to be

[Eclipse344]

@pillowby That's Elecman.

[ROSHing1]

@pillowby: leadman, of course

[eragonus]

@pillowby According to the lyrics it's Elecman. *shrug* Atleast from what I can gather.

[Krunksicle]

@pillowby

Elecman.

[tigerstripes97]

This song and this video creeped the shit out of me at first, but still it is quite amusing and i think i can get into this :)

[serke]

Honestly, this is ridiculously good. And the video is very creative.

[evilbum138]

i do agree

this is art and its beautiful. i love them

[bensteinsrightear]

Easily my favorite local band.

[Errornix]

Night of the Living Dead at 4:05

[TheLanceChannel]

holy crap I just noticed that! cool

[MrDrRobotsSr]

Lots of the video has Night of the Living Dead in it. :D

[kris6493]

ATTACK!!!

omg gasm lol

[brewx]

*Raises fist high above his head*

ATAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Heehee, I'm writing a book based on the story of The Dawn of Protoman. Also his predecessor/brother, Megaman.

[Kagalei]

@brewx That would be successor. Protoman came first.

[toker606]

Pure genius.

[SVolt]

This whole album was epic. Glad they're doing the Act Two. Father of Death has taken over The Will Of One as my favorite song by the Protomen.

[homicidalmonkey]

Mega Man 2 was the best so I hope they can top it.

[RyuzakiKaiten]

this should be canon

[Twiztrz]

Certainly should

The current Megaman plot (Or rather, lack thereof) is complete BS

[CattleRapeDrive]

Goddamn this is such a kickass song. I'm definitely buying the album.

[Xenoocean]

2:48-3:02

I thought protoman died because of a glitch in his power supply system (assuming he even died. Was he actually killed by Wily's robots or that glitch? OR was this all made up by the protomen?

[cactusjack901]

He did in the Capcom canon, however, this is The Protomen, they reworked the story as they see fit, and I see it to be badass

[Xenoocean]

Agreed

[DarttheLegend]

@cactusjack901 this still fit the canon

[ShuraHaidate]

200X? Fail.

[khairaldin]

Making Mega Man into an Orwellian dystopia was brilliant. I wonder, since this is about Proto Man, if the Protomen will follow it up when Dr. Light makes Mega Man.

[CattleRapeDrive]

They did. Listen to "Unrest in the House of Light". It's about the creation of Mega Man.

[khairaldin]

Since I wrote that comment I bought the album and listened to the whole thing. I didn't realize it was like an entire rock opera, it was cool. Really kind of bittersweet ending tho; like Protoman convincing Megaman that the humans are too complacent and fearful to escape from their servitude to Wily or something like that. I wonder if the Protomen will make another concept album continuing the story.

[KojiroDangerous]

Apparently they announced an "Act Two", which will be a prequel focusing on the relationship between Light and Wily.

[cactusjack901]

Indeed they have, the first single from it has also been released, look up Father Of Death, and also look up Breaking Out which they officially released the Demo for

[formertofu]

Better than anything Capcom comes up with nowdays.

[24857300990]

How many parts are there i have the first 8 on my ipod.

[Xenoocean]

There's only eight. To verify, look up the album on wikipedia

[invinco]

I hope this is remade 8-bit-style someday. Dr. Wily's sprite would look hilarious talking with that accent.

[Sparx1]

Man... That version of Elecman gives me the creeps O.o

[Sparx1]

Dude.. this is like, Dr. Light vs. Nazi Wily.. O.o

[GreatTeacherRon]

dude this is relevant =)

[GreatTeacherRon]

The relevance...

[doomsdaythe82nd]

These guys are awesome

[jamester28]

I saw them at the Map Room in Charleston and they were awesome! Great show!

[KamenZero]

The ending is sad. =( Great song and video though.

[squarebomb]

You should listen to the full album. It tells a story from beginning to end. This is the beginning. You'll like the end. It is bittersweet, but oh so sweet if you hate cowards. =D

[NelsonClay]

That is because it isn't the ending. We all know the story.

[TubeZoogy]

I love the revisions for all the different Wily robots.

[Lasergoose]

Definitely one of my favorite parts.

[kirax10a]

i love the protomen
