Friendship is Metal - Lingering Pride (Gilda's Theme)

[Pyrobug0]

So, obviously this is a great song, and you're fantastically talented. But, at first I was thinking that shift in tone after about 50 seconds was an odd choice. Then I started thinking about how the whole piece reflects Gilda's mindset of initial anger, followed by deeper feelings of loss and betrayal, finally hardening into a more resolved, substantial resentment near the end, when the angry part kicks back in, but with more behind it. And now my mind is blown.

[epiccthulu]

this convinces me. rainbowdash made a mistake leaving her gf gilda.

[princewhateverer]

im so jealous that you're playing broNYcon... x,,,x wish my band was all bronies.. ><

[LupinexStorm]

Oh hoh, man, this is MEAN. I didn't realize we had such great guitarists in this fanbase. Glad to know I'm not the best brony guitarist, that would be rather sad. :p

[BZgamer1147]

Daaaaamn. This is just one EPIC song! I just love it when the awesome music of Metal mixes with something awesome like MLP: FiM! :D

[MrPwn4ge]

Mate, you really need to start selling albums, I would listen to this rather than any mainstream metal band out there.

[rocknrolldude3212]

This song has a perfect feel and atmosphere. It gave me a smile. It gives me the same feeling Avenged Sevenfold feels somehow :D

[GonnaGetCuboned]

This song fits Gilda perfectly

[achievementwhoreltd]

i think my ears have just jizzed from the awesomeness of the whole song

[sonix431]

out of all the guitarists in the fanbase, you and ISMBOF are my fav, you cause your song usually have at least one epic solo in them and they sound epic in general. ISMBOF cause its just awesume

[lewa3910]

Situation i imagine this song to

Rainbow Dash=Come Down and Lets Talk!

GIlda=NO! YOU Come up here and Lets FIGHT!

[ih8makinusernames]

Your music is awesome. Are you in a band?

[Dethonator]

@ih8makinusernames NeighSlayer. Performing in BroNYCon this January 7.

[ih8makinusernames]

@Dethonator Too bad I live on the complete opposite side of the country.

[nuclearmU5hr00m]

These songs are just perfect. I can play them out loud and no one will know it's pony-related. Even my friend who is anti-brony admitted these are pretty good... until he realized the cold truth. Thank you Deth for these awesome pieces of art. I love every single one of them.

[Lewn42]

I can see you read Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel :3

[mistshika]

how has your soundcloud not maxed out yet? this is amazing!

[Pokeking709]

Wow and I was thinking going into this why a Gilda song...

[Pacce]

God, this was an emotional roller coaster. I feel like I've been told her life story.

[Masterdindin]

Face = blown.

[siarnaq21]

disregard ponies

acquire griffons

[byakuya9444]

this shit is awesome man, i love it :) i watched your video on broNYC, im so jealous! they never do any cool anime cons or brony cons where i come from :(

[greydragon412]

Words cannot describe how much I love this, you are definitely my favourite MLP music guy and in my top three favourite musicians ever. Please never stop making stuff like this. And finally Youtube has installed an incredibly button *clicks*

[JustAFox]

Hell yes. 

[Zentenski]

By Celestia's beard. This. Is. Awesome.

And for those of you who would like some awesome Gilda-fic, check out "Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel". It's fantastic^^

[Vaxcelor]

Impeccable work. Please do continue it. One thing I am very impressed by in this piece is the level of control exhibited. You have a very good grasp of when *not* to play. (When I say not playing... I mean not shredding/soloing/playing lead) What kind of guitar(s) do you play?

[roushguythebrony]

I... think my brain exploded.

[tektigeranium]

Predicament as she struggles to find friendship amid being shunned as an outcast for being a griffon, and the author writes it in such a way that I believe it should be put into canon. Goodness me, rambling on about a fanfic in the comment section of a metal video. Anyway, great job as usual Dethonator, and keep up the great work.

[tektigeranium]

Aah, Gilda. You will always hold a special place in my heart, as in a strange platform of love that is fitted with propellers if it falls. What? Is that a strange analogy? Ok, as we all know, Gilda is a jerk when we see her in Gilda the Brush Off. We can't deny that for all our love and tolerance, we gave a silent fuck you to Gilda when she made Fluttershy fly off crying like that. Yet, when I read a certain fanfiction called Junior Speedsters Forever, I can't help but feel pity for her predica

[MyLittlePinkiePie]

Maybe it's my imagination, but I swear I hear part of the Metalcore "Art of The Dress" a few times in this song. Awesome job, as usual.

[Y0shilord]

Hard rock, soft rock, rough rock, gentle rock. This has it all.

[Trapperx89]

Soooo Gilda is the new Duchess Nukem?

[PHR16384]

"Prepare to blown away."

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. *max volume*

...

*face melts*

[ArguablyIntelligent]

I don't know whether it's issues with the Soundcloud servers or just my Internet connection, but I'm having a bit of difficulty downloading this. I don't suppose you could toss it up on Mediafire or something like that?

[SaintDespair]

Guess who has a new ringtone? :D

[1tehmoog1]

Have a link to that picture? Gildas to awesome to not have as my walpaper ^^

[aragrist]

This is pretty good. Very well put together and the sound quality is perfect.

[theguywhoannoysme]

Eeyup.

That screeching guitar that starts at 0:18 moves exactly like... um... well I can't remember what it was called, but I remember it. It's from a game, I know that much.

Some guy called Peanut3423 may have it somewhere.

[ISMBOFepicly]

3:17 - 3:36 reminds me of the ending chord progression of "The Created Void" by Underoath, btw.

Your track still blows me away every time I listen to it!

[ISMBOFepicly]

Lol! Doesn't seem like these guys notice the drum's volume error you pointed out. It's all good, though! Glad to have helped ya, brotha!

[HalfSquad]

The part that starts at 1:22 is amazing. Won me over instantly.

[Dethonator]

@HalfSquad finally, someone who passed the 1 minute-mark

[HalfSquad]

@Dethonator Those who didn't don't know what they're missing. Poor souls...

[Dethonator]

@HalfSquad All is well. Artists are judged by their fanbase. If my fanbase consists of folks with an open mind to give a song a full listen, then I am satisfied.

[Grrxmaster]

@Dethonator The one minute mark was some of the best, in my opinion. Though, I am a rather dedicated metalhead.

[DaBassBoner]

@Dethonator who the only reason I can think of for people not to make it past the 1 minute mark is because they really don't like Gilda, and I cant blame em, she is a bitch to pinkie pie!

[Kaijyuu11]

Fits very well. 

[K4RN4GE911]

Dude, this fucking fits Gilda to a T!!! It's insane; from the guitars tone to the overall theme of it. Sounds great!

[KR4K40]

Bass level of awesomeness: Burj Khalifa

Drums level of awesomeness: Everest mountain

Guitar 1 level of awesomeness: Boeing 747 operationnal altitude

Guitar 2 level of awesomeness: Appolo, this is Houston, do you copy?

[TheDerpyPony]

This is awesome and you're awesome.

[crazysurfer2]

gj man. I love it

[nintendude0701]

...Cartoon for little girls? FUCK THAT!!! THIS IS THE MANLIEST SHIT EVER!!!!

[StationAlex114]

I wanna see more gilda in Season 2.

[Halfort57]

@StationAlex114 NO MAN!, she's a bitch ;)

[StationAlex114]

@Halfort57 I know Gilda left a bad impression on everypony so i thought maybe we can see a different side of her (kinda like the emotions from this video). Remember that everyone deseves a second chance; even Gilda, plus don't you think it would make for a pretty sweet episode dontchu think?

[Halfort57]

@StationAlex114 im not saying that she does not deserves a second chance, im saying that she does not want it

[santistyle]

@StationAlex114 Too bad she won't be around after the Pinkie Pie treatment :P

[Bluestripe44]

Me Gusta

[S1mULat0R1]

Amazing!

[PonyGaming1]

wow! and then the end is AWESOME too!

[Hsecrpntr]

Gilda is right next to Luna and Sweetie Belle on my list of favorites. Song kinda has a story to it.

[PonyGaming1]

7 seconds in and I want to download. AWESOME! yeah, I love ISMBOF and your stuff. Sounds good!
