I agree. Horror movies these days need to take some lessons from this epic masterpiece. It took me ages to listen to the whole thing without shitting my pants.
LOL after reading all the comments it seems this song/bassline tapped into a primal fear of all.. maybe just the suspense of what was going to come out of the cylinder as well.. truly frightening :)
@sporeman45 unaltered and unchanged the ulldbulla is great but only way i think this will happen is if someone learns the song i only know bits of few songs and only managed a few extendions of instramental bits not the full thing i hope mr wayne release it with the new war of the worlds
I remember listening to this at my mates...high as a fucker. And imagining someone running away in slow motion whilst being chased by a alien. Haha good times:)
if i were at horsell common back then id ave gone OI MARSIAN NO..you cant just turn up on horsell common flashing your raygun around like that..NO. and then id have become ash. well someone got to take a stand here,the fuckers have already sunk the thunderchild to this point,they rayed those 2 guys on horsell common,what next?fuck that guys we cant let these green twats make us live under ground with just a hand full of men,we,ll never fucking start allover again,ill give the twats blueblaaaaah.
It's funny how they can build spacecrafts and big tripods which shoot lasers, but the idea of a countermeasure against the most trivial of illnesses seemed a bit too far out for them.
Imagine how they would've responded had they have got the clap.
i love this song and this track is fantastic but i do agree with u all a long time ago i was scared when playing this because i thought those aliens were going to take over earth when i played it. Silly me
LOL and I thought I was the only one who listened with headphones on creeping myself out! Only I didn't have to sneak, it way my album and the headphones were HUGE LOL
Whenever people ask me what I think my favorite guitar solos are, I always reference the riff from 7:55 - 9:09. Of course, they tend to not know what I'm talking about. More people need to listen to this album, it's so damn good!
@reformedfruit Ha ha, I had this album years ago, probably didn't even know what a banjo was then. Great electro sounds, and it shows the inventiveness of the creators to use that too.
@IIILeoIII Yes, they should do it to honour him, because without him, Doctor Who probably wouldn't exist (they did one in the eighties, but the Doctor described him as "annoying" and I thought that this was unacceptable)
@imjustchillinftw I can see the doctor taking out one of the tripods, then saying something witty, followed by the imploding of the know universe from the awesome
i remember seeing this show live a couplke of years ago,09 i think it was,pretty epic show,it really was really gud wen the aliens were dead and the machine on stage had tilted but then i shit myself wen it proper started shaking,it was shit scary,still kewl tho
@animehorseloverlol More likely they clicked on the thumb down which is right beside the thumb up by mistake, benefit of the doubt is in order methinks :)
You Tube should have the opposing thumbs at arms length across the page so as to eliminate any doubt.
"I sank into a restless, haunted sleep" !!!!!! I had weeks like that after hearing this as a kid all those years ago. It caused some wild nightmares. Seeing hundreds of daleks and Martian tripods coming over the hill to shoot my arse off with ray guns was no joke when I was nine years old!! Can't say I'd laugh too much now either :)
Debstep/metal version RIGHT NOW PLEASE. ...hmm oh wait Im the one workin on it :) so stoked. Love this song. favorite off the album. Can you guys get down with that? K well Im doin it anyway.
im liking how the kids are reacting to this classic album!!!!! im 39 now but my father used to play this album(vinyl)every sunday morning! he has since passed away but i still remember him every time i play it myself!!!!!
im liking how the kids are reacting to this classic album!!!!! im 39 now but my father used to play htis album(vinyl)every sunday morning! he has since passed away but i still remember him every time i play it myself!!!!!
memories of my mum playing this on the cd player when i was a kid maybe 4 or 5. id sit on the stairs covering my ears and crying it was that terrifying! im 16 listening to this here, and even now when the bass builds up i can feel the lump in my throat its that freaky and reminds me of how scared it used to make me! absolute masterpiece!!
My dad totally turned me onto this when i was a kid. He made me a tape out of nowhere in 1990 when I was 15, i think he preferred I not constantly listen to his vinyl copy as I always did. Still it meant the world to me, I don't think he understands the impact this had on my early creative life and the effect the gesture had on me. I love this album so very much, I was obsessed unbeknownst to anyone around me. awesome!!!!
I am in love with this soundtrack. I'm 15 but I think that older music,especially this,is much better than the music of today. Thank God for this soundtrack! :D
It sounds like a talk box. Bon Jovi used it on "Living on a prayer" and Joe Perry on "Sweet Emotion" if you want to hear more of it. Check it out on Wikipedia, there's a description of it on there. Take a look at this on YouTube too, Peter Frampton- Guitar Talkbox. You can see the clear plastic tube alongside the microphone stand.
When my father played this album on high rotation ( on 10 ) when it first came out, I was only 7. I used walk around the house shitting bricks all day long....That damn picture book is fucking etched into my head forever as well!!!!
I think I would be short in description if I called this only a musical masterpiece. Every little bit of every song comes together to fully hit you at the strongest parts, and make you wary during the softer parts. This is in my top five favorite albums, right alongside The Wall from Pink Floyd.
I can make the noise that happens after the lid falls off, the sort of 'wah oo wah oo wah oo wah'... You gotta put an electric toothbrush in your mouth and open and close your lips! It's fun^^
I have loved this album ever since I was about 8, and like others here my Pa used to play it a lot - that's how I first got into it. One thing I thought at the time: at 2:15 and then 2:19 (for example) there's a musical motif that comes in over the mandolin melody - I think it's produced by a bass guitar. It has always made me think of wobbly tentacles! Was it meant to suggest that I wonder? Clever little touch.
I'm "only" 14 years old, and even I can see how awesome 'War of the worlds' is!! :) When I little, my family and I used to listen to it when we were together, so when I listen to it now, it bring up memories!! <3 <3 :D
I can't help but notice a lot of nostalgic 'Dad' stories going on here! I am glad to find so many of us have this in common. I'm 27 and when I was little my dad would put this on and blast it. Anyone else have it on vinyl L.P ? That's what we had. As it played I would look at the eerie illustrations in the booklet. Used to totally freak me out back then. They were as spooky as the soundtrack. Today, I absolutely love this ! ! !
@skeletalwreck I had to double check that it wasn't me who posted this comment :P I'm 27 years old myself and used to do exactly the same thing. My dad had the LP and I would often sneak downstairs, put on the headphones and listen to the album on my own whilst looking at the fantastic artwork. My imagination would go into over-drive and I'd end up scaring myself (which I loved). To this day the whole thing still gives me goosebumps :) Brilliant.
@Mirrorrim Isnt it strange how more than one person did this man lol. It seems like this album had an effect on everyone who once heard it. I used to be scared of this but I would still come back to it a lot.
@Mirrorrim I'm only 18. I bought the LP only a few months ago cause I found it going for £5, recently I havent been listening to anything else. It even made be buy the book. It is just a fantastic album
@mjcobd Haha, when me and my dad were listening to this not too long ago, he made a comment about how they were attacking the humans with their bass-slapping powers.
@Starryvideos I was in a group for my school to do this. I got to well "sing" the martian battle cry "UUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAA" I loved it.
If you know London and grew up in the Greater London area's, it makes this album so much more chilling and poignant ... the places he talks about are all real - you can go over the ground and imagine it!
@MaidenofIron27 Yeah, my parents used to play this to me when it was pitch black at midnight. It really scared me. I'll probably do that to my kids if I have any :)
My dad when he was in his 20's actually had the game version of this on his PC. Me, just a little 4 year old used to watch him play it. The music and cutscenes of the Martians used to absolutely scare the Hell out of me. Nowadays I cannot look at the face of the "Greys".
Stumbled on this on accident. So glad I found this I used to love this as a kid

I, for one, welcome our new bass-slappin' alien overlords.

@mjcobd Haha, when me and my dad were listening to this not too long ago, he made a comment about how they were attacking the humans with their bass-slapping powers.

"snakelike tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated."
Very Lovecraftian!

@wandererlain That's straight from the book. Well's wrote it when Lovecraft was 10 years old..... ;-)

@gweflj Well, maybe Lovecraft borrowed the idea when/if he read it.
wandererlain 8 months ago
@wandererlain You're probably right fella. Do read the book if you haven't already. Lovecraft is great by the way.

Its weird the things that effect Us. I always found the depth of the base in the opening bars of this sickeningly creepy.

If you know London and grew up in the Greater London area's, it makes this album so much more chilling and poignant ... the places he talks about are all real - you can go over the ground and imagine it!

I love how they based this in England where it was originally meant to be. Both films are based in America which annoys me.

A really good piece of music. A pity that there is not more of it.

Damn, this stuff really scared me when I was younger, about 8 years old or so.
I would sit in my room, in broad daylight, and while listening to this on tape, check the windows for tripods.

@MaidenofIron27 Yeah, my parents used to play this to me when it was pitch black at midnight. It really scared me. I'll probably do that to my kids if I have any :)

My dad when he was in his 20's actually had the game version of this on his PC. Me, just a little 4 year old used to watch him play it. The music and cutscenes of the Martians used to absolutely scare the Hell out of me. Nowadays I cannot look at the face of the "Greys".
