  • there not even looking

  • hahahahaha

    

  • lol he went with easy...

  • Jonathan is AWESOME!!!!

  • it's just comical to see the extremely br00741 death metal avatar they have up in the background within the context of the song and such.

  • i bet they were embarest

  • Anyone else notice how the people were screaming and activated his Overdrive? If you think about it, that crowd could have made him fail by all the cheering and whatnot they were doing.

  • thats not even close to the voice I heard

  • There was a party for VALVe? That makes me wanna cry, I missed out! :(

  • He peobably did so poorly because he's used to preforming it in his key, not the higher key its in for the game.

  • He Did Pretty Well

  • Others were saying he did poorly, that he failed out at the end or something

  • @BoredChick It's in the same key in the game, just one octave higher.

  • HEY how do you get this song i want it sooooo bad but how i have the ps3!

  • you can't get it on ps3 ^^

  • Get The Orange Box for the PS3

  • You CAN get it on PS3

  • there are the same songs on xbox and ps3... this song is DLC (downloadable content)... go to the music store in rock band, and look for this song... as i remember you can download this song for free... enjoy! :)

  • That....is amazing...

  • gj valve :) portal rules

  • i.... hate..... whoever.... put it on rock band..... Still Alive IS GETTING MURDERED BY NOOBS WHO CANT SING!!!!! i cant sing either but still... at parties, and crap.. its getting MURDERED!!!!!

  • wow you must go to a hell of a lot of rock band parties that it bugs you that much... Don't spend too much time out with the rest of society do you?

  • ? Jonathon Coulton, the guy singing in this video, created the song you retard.

    Jeez.

  • I LOVE VALVE lol lol the rockband!

  • You can hear People in the crowd singing. Pwned.

  • VALVe, Isn't that how they do it? Or is it valvE?

  • You. Asshole. Do not deserve to surf the internet.

  • oh wow

    never thot some1 would be so anal about it

  • srry my cousin went on

  • lol so awesome. i wish i was there.

  • That was awesome!

  • haha, that was awesome

  • portal has got to be the best shortest game ever=)

  • portal is honestly one of the best games out there.

  • Agreed.

  • Yes, and Half-Life 2

  • I am in a wheelcair and planing on renting it. I need to know if I can use the headset instead of the mic?

  • You should be able to use any bluetooth headset that works with your system of choice.

    Or if you have a ps2/xbox you should be able to use any of the headsets that work with those. Key word is still "should" though.

  • Yes, you should, but you gotta figure a way to do the beats during the solos still

  • pwned question mark?

  • jay you sheltered asshole. Jonathon coulton is the musician that wrote that song and that's his band. he's doing it in rock band for the novelty and humor value which is obviously lost on you.

  • this is an excellent reply. to the point, and exposes jay3213 for being another asshole who just posts without reading. i know it's 7 months old, but honestly, there needs to be more posts like this one. people like jay need to realize that they don't matter and no one cares about their opinion. get over yourselves and write about something that matters. keep it up m0nk3yc4t

  • dude ur a dumbshit its exactly like what monk3ycat said. besides not like u could do better

  • Ignorance is such a funny thing isn't it? It makes stupid people even more stupid because they were stupid enough to show their ignorance, which makes other people laugh at them for being stupid. So here's a tip to people like jay who prefer to post hate comments without knowing anything, keep your mouth shut so people wont think you're stupid, stupid.

  • That is the guy who wrote the song at the party of the company that hired him out to do it. How stupid can you get?

  • @jay3213

    that is a REAL band playing rockband..infact it the band that MADE and WROTE the song. and not meny bands will go and play there own song on rockband infront of a crowed like that

  • attaboy... good singing..

  • That vas fuckin' COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL X)

  • he wrote the song.....

  • just like your mom

    pwnd

  • Well lets see, nine year olds use the term your mom, you like Naruto. Hmm so not really.

  • FYI. For those of you who don't know who Jonathan is, he is the one who wrote the song "Still Alive" for Ellen McLain to sing.

  • what is this? a portal convention?

  • That was disturbing...

  • wats ur point the lead guitarist in dragonforce cant even play through the fire and flames on GH3

  • Because playing the "real" guitar and playing a game are two different things.

  • amen

    i can sing and play on rock band, but in real life, i tried, and i get so lost in the notes and singing

  • Jonathan Coulton provides his masters for free to games. Which makes it very unlikely that its only free today.

  • god i want this game

  • HOLY FRICKING GOD you guys, go online right now and get this song for Rock band. It got released today, and I think that the joke might be that its only free TODAY, so go get it quick!

  • It got released on Monday.

  • ...and confirmed for Rock Band for April 1st DLC. Sweet! :o)

  • April 1st as in April Fools Day?

    Hope it's not a joke :D

  • Its not, I just downloaded it :D

  • lol, everyone was singing along xD

  • i memorize the whole song.

  • memorizing right now

  • I'm guessing it'll be up a week from Tuesday (April Fools' Day)

  • they have to playtest it sometime....

  • when the fuck is this song going to be in Rock Band

    fuck all the other dlc, this would make my life complete

  • Amen to that, brother.

  • HOLY SHIT

    MY FRIEND LOVES THIS SONG

  • How did they get this in Rock Band???

  • it's an upcoming song in Rock Band.  so they probably got an early copy.

  • Oh sweet can't wait thanks.

  • The singer wrote the song in the first place. And seeing as how that's Harmonix's booth at GDC'08, is it surprising that they have unreleased content. :)

  • portal is the next half life

  • Rock Band is for rock music fans (i.e., almost everyone) who want to hang out and play a fun, accessible video game. It's just as real as Halo 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and every other video game out there (which are not). We love pretending to shoot aliens and save universes, perhaps we love to pretend to be rock stars as well... and sing loud at parties :) Still Alive is for fans of Portal and/or "GUNS-R-BAD" protest songs. I'm of the former, so I shall buy this DLC ASAP. Word.

  • ok... well if we never moved into the 'virtual' world you wouldn't be posting this comment. So your basically saying your comment is a waste of time. Its a game, you play it to have fun. Not to start a real band. they play it for plain and simple fun. Once people get over that then this game will stop getting bashed.

  • And I'd enlist in the Army if I wanted to kill real terrorists instead of playing Call of Duty 4.

  • WIN!! WIN!!

  • Uh. You know rockband is a video game, right? Ergo, the insrtuments aren't real, and they're not intending it to be, obviously there are not 5 colour buttons on a real guitar >_>

  • Dude, you should get a life. Perhaps learn the English language more. It's a game. Besides, it's games like this that more people want to learn Guitar and other instruments.

  • Speaking of learning English... "Besides, it's games like this that more people want to learn Guitar and other instruments." If you're going to be a dick, at least make sure you aren't being a hypocrite first.

  • hes not a hypocrite... he is saying that people who play this and games similar to this want to play the guitar and are inspired to learn it... besides, why does this game cause controversy. Everyone has to stop complaining about this. Its starting to get annoying because its not that big of a deal.

  • He is being a hypocrite. He insults someone for his/her english and then he makes a mistake.  That is what we like to call being a hypocrite. I understood his point, but you missed mine.

  • ahh ok... Honestly I expected a huge response like calling me a douche or something immature like that... Thanks for that, saved me one less pointless YouTube brawl.

  • Eh, I am not that big of an ass. Thank you for also not being a complete dick about it. I also expected this to break down, but I am glad there are other people like me who hate that sort of thing. ^_^

  • i really try to avoid an arguement by not fighting back or not insulting the person, just correcting them :D... instead of saying "Your a douche" I will say my opinion...

  • i find it funny how i make more friends on youtube by disagreements like this rather than meeting someone on the site... thats kinda sad

  • FUCK YES!

  • YAAAAY!

  • i am speechless

  • Awesome! :D

  • I can has 100% on Expert Achievement John?

  • Thats EPIC!

  • I'm alittle obsessed with this song, I can't wait to play it.

  • Me too, I just need the game first...

  • I want this song. NOW.

  • If you like, i can email it to you.

  • for rockband?

  • Ummm, yeah!

  • no, for normal

  • lol the crowd activated starpower with their cheering

    fun song

  • Hell yes...I just was thinking if they put this song in, and there it is...

  • Yay! When my friend showed me this video i freaked out! I love portal and this song! I cant wait till thay come out with it for me to sing along to. <3 hehe cake is a lie.

  • i no im gonna get attacked for this but cant they spend time gettin better songs for rock band....this isnt rock and its definitely not a band.....i just watched this video to check out the song itself, and its alright but not good for rock band

  • I cannot believe this exists. I am just stunned. I mean I hoped that Jonathan Coulton would get into Rock Band, but I never really thought it would happen. I figured he wasn't in a 4 part band so instruments would be missing, but wow. I can only hope that they put some more of his stuff in Rock Band as DLC. Maybe if the sales for Still Alive are great they'll do it then the man himself will be making some of the money. RE: Your Brains in Rock Band would make my brain implode.

  • I heard he scored 95% on that. Considering he wrote the song is no surprise. Not looking at the screen, first try, 95%...he is the GOD of that song.

  • He played on Easy anyway... Anybody with any sense of tone and rhythm could get 95% on easy.

  • Yeah, but even if he fails the song, no one cares cause he MADE it.

  • Yeah, but if he failed, wouldn't it be a surprise to anybody SINCE he made it? I don't think failing a song that one made is normal.

  • he didnt fail, but he did only get 7%

    which is funny concidering its his song >_>

    oh well, still cool.

  • AWESOME! I love Jonathan Coulton

  • It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

  • I'm making a note here... HUGE SUCCESS!

  • Finally my singing along with the song over and over again will pay off!

  • THIS IS A TRIUMPH!

  • Epic win!

  • I will be checking every Tuesday for this song for download.

  • U and me both:D!!!

  • wtb rock band just for this song

  • HOLY FUCK

    AMAZING

  • I just nerdgasmed

  • qft

  • Take that everyone who thought this song would suck in Rock Band!!!!!

  • This Was A Triumph.

  • Not gonna lie...

    I came

  • I shat bricks.

  • This is the greatest thing since cake.

  • Best song crossover since they released the Mjolnir Mix for Guitar Hero 3.

  • I believe you mean "best song crossover, period."

  • so just keep on trying till you run out of cake ^^

    this song makes me happy.

    I miss my weighted companion cube =[

  • I love how you can hear the audience singing along. <3

    The cake is a lie.

  • i know! it sounds AWESOME on Say it Ain't So on the part where it says "this way is a wterslide away from me that takes you further every day"

  • When are they going to add the Saxaboom to Rock Band?

  • hey guess what! When you play call of Duty 4, that doesn't make you a Marine in real life either.

  • Also Realdrummer57, told you to go post some videos of you playing for real. yet he has 0 videos posted. lol

  • Ass Destroyer? Wow. What an immature prick. You couldn't even go for the simple "Craptain Destroyer". Since you can't seem to get this idea into your head, I'll say it once more.

    WE KNOW IT'S NOT A REAL INSTRUMENT. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE COOL OR AWESOME, WE KNOW IT'S NOT THE REAL DEAL, WE KNOW IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME AND THAT IT EQUALS TO EXACTLY ZERO REAL MUSICAL TALENT, AND WE KNOW THAT ANYONE CAN PLAY THE GAME. AND WE DON'T CARE. IT'S. JUST. FOR. FUN.

    That's the last time I'm saying it.

  • Also, is it just me or does it seem odd that that franknbarbie decided to attack the game and the people who play it on the video for Still Alive, which is not even a real song? You think he'd go for a video of someone playing the real songs on the setlist... Odd.

  • He seem to be Jealous of all the attention The people in the video are getting form the crowd. But what he didnt know, they wasnt geting attention form the crowd because they are good at a fake band, they was getting attention because of where they are, and who they are and because of the Still alive song

  • also type in the youtube search "Jonathan Coulton Sings "Still Alive"" and you see him doing the song for real.

  • You morons like franknbarbie, need to know that facts before you start talking crap. That is Jonathan Coulton, he wrote the song. he singing, so he is real musician. He wrote this song For vavle, you know the makers of Half-life, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. The song is in Portal. it was one of the games year in 2007. He playing with people who work at Vavle and Harmonix. the people who made Rock Band. So they already impressed the 15 year olds by having more success and money then most of you

  • Of course it's not like playing a real instrument. It's playing a fun video game. You have heard of "recreation" and "enjoyment", yes? Lighten up.

  • You know, it's possible to do something NOT to impress people. It's a video game. It's not meant to make you feel like a big man for beating a song in the game, it's meant to have fun with other people playing to great songs. Like SefanGagne said, of course it's not real instruments. I don't think real guitars are made out of plastic. EVERYONE knows they're not real, and they don't care. It's simply a game you have fun playing, not some tool to enhance your manliness. Why is that so hard to get?

  • Hahahaha. "This is nothing like the real deal." God damn, are you that stupid? Who the fuck is trying to impress 15 year olds? And thanks, I will get far in life. I can accept that people like to do things that I don't, which you apparently can't. Waste of time on YouTube? Yeah, all those Anime music videos and "stupid funny japanese dance" videos are very useful to watch. And thanks, clowns are awesome. ;)

  • I've said it about Guitar Hero and I'll say it about Rock Band.

    THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT THINK ROCK BAND SUCKS, SUCK AT ROCK BAND!

    And don't even try that "o den u h8 rok bnd 2?" shit. I've had enough of that. If you don't like it. Fine. We like it. Why do you care anyways? Do you just go on YouTube and find a vid you don't like and just try to make people feel bas about themselves. How's that make you feel? Like a real dick, right.

    Fuck you, douche fag.
