Battlestar Galactica Colonial Anthem

[Belmont2500]

A great nod to the original show. Don't get me wrong, I like the 2003 version as much as the next person, but the original was where it was at.

[kruger130]

Who ever don't like grandpa Jones can just suck it! !!!!

[Primex007]

trying to find this as an mp3 file

[Primex007]

love those drums

[DJSparkles]

What do you think wouldve happened if they used this theme for the show instead for the one they used? I think it wouldve been perfect! :)

[vacationbibleschool]

@DJSparkles this is the theme to the original '78 show.

[Primex007]

talk about soul stirring

[crackeyes100]

My childhood Sci-Fi of all time,never missed it as a boy growing up in Belgrade,Former Yugoslavia in the 1980's with my brothers.

[cycloneous]

This version of the Battlestar Galactica theme captures the moment of the series. Truly amazing theme, and very powerful. It gives you the full sense of the show. I didn't think there was a a Battlestar Galactica theme out there that could be on par with the original, I was wrong!

So say, we all. . .

[Gracie0935]

At 1:58 can almost hear the pilots "For Aerilon! Picon! Virgon!! From Caprica with love, you frackin' toasters!"

[SternMann93]

I just came to think about what I want to see in Blood & Chrome.

The creators have said that the war will partly be shown in news feeds around the 12 colonies on tv. I wan't to see colonial propaganda accompanied by this song while showing news feed of victories against the cylons!

[bentex40]

Thought this version of the anthem sounded really good. It was true to the original version. Liked the original when I was a kid but the new version rocked all the way to end.

[MultiClassGeek]

I remember watching the pilot for this show, enjoying it, but wondering how much they'd keep from the original.

Then I heard the Colonial Anthem play, and I punched the air.

[PANDABOIII]

@JulieannRoyali Google :)

[Calick]

I'm so glad the guys from the remake did a new version of the original theme! Thumbs up for Bear McCreary!

[Fu3Ran]

Wonderfull video... I like spirit of the shaking cameras...It makes it unique in light of other scifi like star wars... Also while watching this I have feeling that everything is under control and they know what they are doing... Because sometimes battles in series lookes little bit chaotic... Like : wow, how can this work? I dont know how to eplain this thought... maybe you know what am I talking about... anyway epic video :)

[fragtastic19899]

:( i seen jamie bamber in belfast intairport a year ish ago... no body noticed him but me and i was too affraid to say hello :( wish i did lol once in a life time chance

[fragtastic19899]

:( i seen jamie bamber in belfast intairport a year ish ago... no body noticed him but me and i was too affraid to say hello :( wish i did lol once in a life time chance

[Mrtrekkie156]

lol it looks like every time the cylons are about to hit galactica it FTLs away :)

[Mrtrekkie156]

I just started playing the online game and im thinking about watching the show. It looks very nice

[Athos523]

i wish they'll replay re-runs of the remake. it was excellent for a remake.

[BSG062]

1:19 best action of the whole series, neck and neck with the final battle,

[Colossus3999]

Best Fracken music ever!

[Jacknic12]

Long live the Galactica!

To continue my love of it I play the Battlestar Galactica Freelancer mod!

[kongchikwan]

YES I LIKE THIS SHOW P.P.C.L.I

[neterer]

fuuuukllll offffff

[promcheg]

@neterer correction: frak off

[niefali]

Must be a pretty bad feeling for the cylons while the 2 BS attacked the rebirthship. Dying in the first Cylon BS, getting reborn just to die again some seconds later.

[trekdarth]

Greatest Sci-Fi adventure of all time. Yeah that's right, you heard me!

[Skaldicgoth]

Best show ever

[TheSpelldoctor]

It's good to hear the Colonial anthem in a different light. This rocks !

[Nort41]

Love this piece of music, and I agree this would have been really good as the theme song.

[kellykloud77]

so shall it be...neverending

[cunninm]

this should have been the opening to the new series. Best theme song for any TV show.

[CajunGypsy]

Why in the names of all the gods Moore & Co. couldn't just have used this arrangement of the original theme to open the new show instead of that gawdawful keening is utterly beyond me. Thanks for posting this.

[Colossus3999]

Frack me! I love this theme, cheers to the original 70's theme!

[smearyllama]

I love the vipers... so graceful, too bad "Laura" the Blackbird got blown up, I cried when they unveiled the name.

[codebreaker2001]

I miss this show.

[SpeedForceHero]

@codebreaker2001 So say we all.

[codebreaker2001]

So say we all, Speed. :D

[OblivionsOathkeeper]

Frak me.

Love it!

[weldonwin]

@OblivionsOathkeeper I know, I just have to cheer when it gets midway and the music really kicks in, to the scenes of Galactica and Pegases living up the title of 'Battlestar' and going in swinging against three basestars, kicking Toaster ass all the way to their God

[mrljubac]

frackin good

[NathanRomml]

Great video!

Pegasus is my favorite episode of second season of BSG,and second season is my favorite one,so.....

[TheDjmoore33]

It took me awhile to warm up to the new show. It was good and now that I look @ it again. I see bits and pieces of the old show in it.(Richard Hatch, Old Basehips & raiders, original score) The music score is way better than the old school version in my opinion. RDM did a great remake. Glad he didn't frak it up!

[alaurel81]

so say we all

[Villareal04]

@alaurel81 So say we all friend. So say we all....

[Admiraloberstabsarzt]

Great!

[fairley117]

I love the music from this show, its so atmospheric, Its amazing.

[williamwhitlow1]

life hear begun out their brothers of man fighting to survie to find home a planet called EARTH....

[cunninm]

This should have been the theme for the new edition. Great song.

[nebby6]

Nicely done. Also makes for a good LightWave 3D compilation. During the entire series, I only heard the original theme once. Was kind of hoping they'd use it for the last episode.

[KillahMate]

They did, and very appropriately. The shot of the Galactica flying the fleet into the Sun was accompanied by a brief version of this theme. I do agree the end credits could have used the entire version.

[TorokBoti]

Battlestar Galactica rulesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  this colonial anthem is Frakki'in great man Sci-fi rules!!!!!

[justintime71]

nice job b s g

[seaquest2323]

I agree that the old theme better suites BSG. I think the revised version kicks ass. I still dont know why the Frak they didnt have it as there central theme through out the new BSG...it sux!! Somethings are just best left alone. "So say we all! "

[juzzen]

shush you nerds!

sci fi has been ruined forever for me already by my dad telling me there's no sound in space, and everytime you hear an explosion or some kind of sound effect is completely untrue =(

[ComradeQ]

This is like saying you can't enjoy video games because in real life, if you die, you stay down permanently.

There's a reason it's called science FICTION and not science FACT.

[JheakrynaKyAlur]

Word!

[ehasko]

There might be a chance that after the explosions of the cylon warstars, the sound can travel through the compressed gas that leaks from the ships themselves, but we need a true scientist to confirm this.

[theloneuncle]

nice work. i really liked that old theme

[thomasmiller1]

one thing i liked in it was how the ships did not have to obey the laws of drage and all that stuff in space like othere shi fi moives make and you know what ones im talking about

[tearn9090]

there's no drag in space for one because there's no air to cause it in the first place remember space is a vacum before you post things like that

[thomasmiller1]

yes i know but if you look at other shi fi moives like star trek and a few others they never do the stoff you see them do on BSG thats what im saying i love it because they show what you can realy do in space there was only one othere show that did the same thing that you see in BSG and that was Space Above and beyond old but good show

[thomasmiller1]

no im wrong on that there is one other bablon 5 dont think i spelled that right but i think you will now what show i mean lol

[tearn9090]

ohh ok i thought you were complaing about the lack of it my mistake xD

[saquist]

The old BSG anthem is better in some places but this one is better in other places.

[williamwhitlow1]

A VERRY GOOD COLONIAL ANTHEM

[bubbagort]

the best serories is always the best even thoughwe have modern tec. the new ones the old ones will always be better if u ceatch my drift. :-)

[redrake2]

You're making no sense.

[voterpromoter]

English, do you speak it?

[frytoob]

your spelling is ludochriss =D

[sandronec]

Sense: His statement makes none.

[knoxvilleguy2]

translator, he needs one.

A translator he needs, yes, yes..... ( like Yoda, I type, yes. ) ;-)

[cardiffmanz]

i think hes saying that the old BSG is better then the new....if you are saying that...then you are a noob lol

[wesleyrs83]

Best part of the modern series? Newtonian physics.

[knoxvilleguy2]

I like both series. The reimagined BSG had situations that can't be wrapped up neatly in one 1 - hour episode. The Original was too influenced by Star Wars & Lost in Space. The Centurions = Storm Troopers, Imperious Leader = Vader / Emperor, Lucifer / IL series Evil versions of C3P0. Both versions had plusses & minuses.

[Soviet7799]

Not a bad thing to be influenced by one of the most popular movies ever.

I didnt like how in the new one the cylons looked like humans... mostly... they didnt give off that bad guy aura. Plus there was too much shaky camera and flashbacks for my liking ;/

[knoxvilleguy2]

Soviet7799:

If 9 / 11 hadn't happened, & they decided to do a remake of the series, chances are that BSG wouldn't have looked anything like it did in the re - make / re - imagining of the series. I liked the moral ambiguity, & shades of gray in the series, it also added some more depth to things. The " Shaky camera " / use of different angles gave it a cinema verite' look. A mastepiece ( IMHO ) !

[weldonwin]

I liked the way the space-shots were done in the style of a steady-cam, with the picture fuzzing up occationally, as if they had some poor guy in the space-suit floating out in the middle of a battle, giving it was I call the 'Live From Afaganistan' feel

[knoxvilleguy2]

weldonwin:

The cinema verite' / handheld camera look was1 thing that set BSG apart from the rest.

[weldonwin]

Well, except Firefly had it first, but that shouldn't be surprising seeing as BSG and Firefly had the same special effects company

[knoxvilleguy2]

Makes it like a documentary in places, more " real ".

[kurtleics]

yea most definatly.

I like the way it was gritty and grimey and dark throughout the entire 4 seasons.

It seemed more real, the acting was good and the effects were also great.

The way it played out more as a documentary at times i thought was also good.

Plus it had good messages in it!

I.E how the police and military should be kept seprate as the military fight the enemy, you dont want the people becoming that enemy.

Cant wait for the new bsg prog. later this year.!

[kurtleics]

totally agree with you.

Really liked the way it was done, one of the best programmes that has been on in a long time!

[knoxvilleguy2]

And they didn't neatly resolve a problem in a 45 - minute perid, even when they spaced someone who was a Cylon - Especially then...... !!!

[DTag]

I can't wait to see what this looks like on blu-ray.

[knoxvilleguy2]

I LOVE the theme & opening in the re - imagined series, but this is embedded so DEEPLY in the Galactica mythos that cannot be excised.

[Tuskin38]

Wow, the incorporation of the Opening theme of the original BSG is awesome.

[grooveclubhouse]

i swear i caught this on another vid. Am I going crossed eyed or does it say: "Pegasus raptor FLUGTRAINING" At 0:38????????????????

[Hyrin]

It's German for "Flight Training."

[sparrowlt]

yeap.. its german.. it says "Raptoren flugtraining"

[malrey06]

can someone please send me this song its been getting on my nerves for ages now!

[evolve991]

Excellent edit!!! Your timing is perfect!

[Spartanz1170]

I didn't make it :)

the author has his name at the very end!

[redstarisin]

@Spartanz1170 its nice to see you giveing credit + awesome for you

[art724]

As the fleet sailed into the sun tonight, the Colinial Anthem was played. How fitting. How wonderful.

[Spartanz1170]

and characters live and die, with one the most emotional of them all

[deviss113789]

@Spartanz1170 so say we all! SO SAY WE ALL!

[93Archangel]

@deviss113789 So say we all! :D

[linglingo]

tears...of joy and somber brooding...it was perfect.

[IntergalacticDub]

Awesome edit!!! :-)

[et3inuyasha]

Go Bear.

[rben777]

if you watch the 2000 series you need to go to netflix and watch the original series. It will help you in this one

[rben777]

what starts at 1:42 is the original music from the 1978 series. NOOB

[MonkeyWrench4269101]

no its a heavily remixed version

[CRClark1138]

I like what starts at 1:42

[prophetic0311]

so say we all! bitches!

[privateworldofwarft]

nice

[weldonwin]

This is perfect music for a broadside engagment, Pegasus cruising out of the darkness and letting the basestars have it with her full cannons

[predator3333]

very nice clip :)

[gtfapolo]

musique nase ses nul

[chenoir]

Commentaire Naze, t'es nul.

[di3bels]

Einfach nur G E I L :D

[Spartanz1170]

nyeh?

[Dash801]

He's pretty much saying it's 'Just COOL :D', auf Deutsch

[H3dgie]

The shot of the Pegasus taking on two basestars with Galactica on the outisde during the battle with the resurrection ship looks bloody awesome.

[zaphodc]

I've only seen clips on Youtube, but I can tell the really zoomed out (thank you HDTV) combat-photographer-style camera moves during special effect sequences really improve the realism of the shots.

[H3dgie]

It's a damn good show. Go buy the DVD's you won't be a disapointed.

[vidmastr26]

Love this! :) I think the movie "Airplane" spoofed this music. Am I right? Cause I remember this music in that movie towards the end. Anyway, LOVE the special effects of this show! It's AWESOME how the camera goes in and out at different angles during battle sequences.

[wizzy5395]

Very cool arrangment of the classic Galactica theme.

Loved the original series, really enjoy the latest version...

Shame the series is coming to an end... :(

[DrBuggernuts]

I love this show. I think it's the best thing on TV I've ever seen.

[CaptainUntouchable]

Awesome vid. One of the things I loved about the Miniseries was the fact that they used the original theme as the National Anthem - gotta be one of the best pieces of music around, as a theme tune at least. :)

[Whitelitr]

Actually the music to the Star Spangled Banner was not written by Francis Scott Key. Key just wrote the words in 1814 as part of a poem called "Defence of Ft McHenry". The music is to an older English song called To Anacreon in Heaven. And the SSB was not made the official Nat'l Anthem until Mar 3, 1931

[CptApoIIo]

Best part starts at 1:40 : )

[masterbeef00]

which episode was the anthem used on?

[cmhfins]

Season 2 The final Cut

[CptApoIIo]

This should be a real national anthem for some country on earth!! I wish someone would go back in time and show this to George Washington!!

[mrhistory112890]

The American National anthem wasn't chosen by George Washington it was writen durring the War of 1812 by Francis Scott Key while he was being held abord a british prisioner of war ship during the shelling of an American Fort

[Furious67]

Its about FRAKKIN time they added the origanal score!

[Spartanz1170]

you do realize, this score was relased in like 2005 :P

[twb176]

No, that was the theme from the original 1978 series. It just shows up from time to time in the new series. Still awesome though.

[NikeBG]

He means that the theme of the old BSG was released in the score of the new BSG in 2005, three years ago. ;)

[Spartanz1170]

the original score was released in 1978, i talking about the remix version it cme out 06-07?

[MonkeyWrench4269101]

03, it was used as the national anthem, it was on the second series soundtrack

[cazzykay23]

i love ths i video ti os cool

[dominicstark]

very nice video and a cool song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timpson1701]

where can you down load the version of the song love it

[sarp1993]

nice vid and nice song

[Vardenofrome]

1:27 is epic

[gorn9146]

This is just about the best sci-fi theme music ever made. I rank it right up there with Star Wars.

[willobi]

this vid got me hard well done love the sound track

[Spartanz1170]

my other vids above this one are more awesome!

[gibbo221]

that was sooooo fraking awsome

[TONYWITTMANN]

Fraken awesome! About time someone gave BSG the respect that it deserves. I loved it as a kid and now I love the new one. keep up the good work.

[Excelsior2007]

I love the Colonial Anthem/Battlestar Galactica theme, especially this version. When I first heard it, I thought, it's such an awesome rendition, and that the Battlestar Galactica saga is in good hands.

[Starbuck049]

Salute to the Battlestar Galactica
