[Rustyn3ss]

good song

[wheelworker1]

i don't get why people make a big deal about there age and when music was made..as if your life has anything to do with this song..Im old enough to remember when this song just came out..Big deal..I also love beethoven but just because Im not from his time doesn't mean I can't enjoy his music..elo or any other musician is no different

[tmtait]

Thanks for the link, I like this version. Nice back beat :)

[andrew90806]

[Amosis55]

@tmtait Glad you like it.

[malthuswasright]

@tmtait You still haven't heard this song slow - this is the original tempo!

[meadows1982]

@tmtait

Where have you been?!

Glad you like it. Great GREAT song.

[tmtait]

@meadows1982

I been here and there :) Staying out of trouble.

[maxwellsgianthammer]

@tmtait That's not slow. It's normal speed.

[JBofBrisbane]

iTunes has got it wrong - this is the version of Showdown from "On The Third Day", not "The Night The Light Went On (In Long Beach)", which was a live album.

[NichoXD]

i heard this song in skate 2 and i loved it :D:D:D

[rdphippo]

[zoophile101]

OLD SCHOOL

[thebeautifulstallion]

[thebeautifulstallion]

[ripley450]

great work, and there's some good Kingpin soundtrack on here

like to copy and take them to go on the ipod

[miguelitoyea]

me encanta

[Amanda666x]

too bad danielamai is a fake.

the real girl is named Danielle Veenbaas.

[Amosis55]

How do you know Danielle Veenbaas didn't use the name danielamai on mobog

[Amanda666x]

because she only has a myspace, facebook and twitter.

[Amosis55]

I read on another site that this other guy knew her from Yafro. That's where i knew her from, before Orfay. She was a friend of Loki. who is on mobog these days. Anyhow I sent a message to her on myspace to find out.

[cdrcbh]

@Amanda666x  .....Only?!?! :D

[dorisrose1]

life is a show down.

[Amosis55]

[NGC500]

[Buttahman100]

skate 2 has me hooked on this

[Amosis55]

Well I'm glad you dropped by.

[skaterocknroll]

boo

[TheRocketVoltage]

Damn, I love me some ELO <3 I wish I was alive back then to really enjoy their magic. Sure I'm a 90s kid, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the magic of the past. :D

[xCirclex]

Skate 2 :'D

same thing ^^

[jamiefisher2006]

tuuuuune, not from my era and usually my genre of music. but love this!!!!!!!!

[liltd87]

Kingpin!!

[AztecMonkeyMan]

SKATE 2

[Quarkt]

Agreed, this song will always remind me of Kingpin. Bill Murray is god

[steeda049]

King Pin was the shit. Very underrated

[Amosis55]

I don't know Kingpin.

[cosalexa]

is very good the song

[Amosis55]

I totally agree.

[paulibig]

One of ELOs best Songs...Thanks for the great audio

[Amosis55]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[mabus2007]

KINGPIN

LONG LIVE McCRACKEN

WOOO

oh and LONG LIVE THE COMB OVER

[Amosis55]

as long as there is male pattern baldness, someone will be doing a comb over. LOL

[Itsine]

LOVE this song! And the Mods are bueatiful. Thanxs for posting!!

[Amosis55]

Thank you and you are welcome.

[mabus2007]

everyone will always love good old rock and classic songs, but, hip hop is taking over, it was rock from 1965-1998... its hip hops generation now, try and enjoy it, we keep tracks like this alive to our generation by sampling, luck for you oldies

[ytownteddy]

Big Ern McCrackin

[bluebarracudasfolyfe]

i love this song. i heard it in some shaun white video on here, but then they got rid of the song for some reason :( lame.

[BillyTheKid62]

i heard it from the film kingpin

[WildShadow8]

So did I!

[DelbertMcJustice]

i heard it LIVE back in the day! A couple rows back while takin' an occasional pull of a fatty and drinkin' Lambrusco from one of those goat skin pouches. Chicks everywhere. Yep! Words cannot describe it....

[Amosis55]

Those words described it, pretty well summed it up.

[southernCal909]

I listen to hip hop, and classic rock, so your philosophy is wrong...I dont neglect any genre of music, I love music as an art not a hobby.

[khurit]

southerncal909 = gay

[IWillNotConceide18]

Why? because he likes all kinds of music instead of focusing on one genre like many other people are? You would do well to keep any and all future opinions to yourself. You'll just make yourself sound stupid.

[jackw044]

great song. got it from skate 2

[Amosis55]

A few others heard it there too. :)

[GamerX89X]

Yea I did too. Its my favorite song on the game.

[Amosis55]

I don't have the game so I wonder what other music is in it.

[Waknoodle]

that's crazy how old this song is and there are 16 and 18 year olds listening to it...i'm glad ELO is still being listened to by a new generation, jeff lynn is awesome

[freiez]

Thank EA's game Skate 2.

[Amosis55]

I think many teens are turning away from rap and stuff like it, to listening to rock. I've seen a few polls on Deviantart and rock comes out as the most listened to.

[SurgeZ1018]

i'm only 18 and this is all I listen to. I love this stuff. Great video to!

[nash1334]

im 16 and loving this song

[123Rickey123]

awsome song kids

[Amosis55]

Yup, even 30 years later.

[CommendatoreAndolini]

Psychedelic!

[Amosis55]

How does one become a professional layabout?

[CommendatoreAndolini]

By going to university/college, depending on where you are in the world. That makes me about as lazy as The Big Lebowski.

[Amosis55]

I should enroll then.

[BEASTC0AST]

dope song

[stephenpaulbeckett]

Hi Guys and girls, As an old b-------, this track was one of the first tracks I heard after getting out of a long term relationship in about 1975,long before most of you were born. still married to the beautiful woman that made me ditch the other one. A very dark and sombre track , but how good is it? This band were derided for be DERIVATIVE, wtf does that mean? We are all influenced by what we have seen, heard and experienced. Have a great day love light and peace P

[SkateBproductions]

love this song :) and for all you people who are complaining about people coming here because of a game, surely you should be happy? It shows that games nowadays can still appreciate music from all periods. Stop whining, we know we didnt know about it before but we do now!

[davidsolak]

UM YEAH I DID KNOW IT B4 THE GAME CAME OUT

[SkateBproductions]

stresshead. Take a prozack, chill out.

[Amosis55]

I'm happy it's in the game. It's brought me a bunch of new viewers. This is my hottest video now. It was Scorpions Send Me An Angel, which is still doing well.

[Alpy03]

well dont u like video games

[Amosis55]

It's not that I don't, by my old computer isn't up to the task. I used to love Duke Nukem 3d but after that My computer couldn't keep up with the game play in Counter Strike. That one's gone but this computer is old now too. If things work out over the next few months, I'll get a new one.

[DiZzYxUK]

The Skate2 intro f*****g rocks man.

This song too.!

[Amosis55]

I didn't see the movie but Yeah Great song.

[SSSSBBBB81]

it's the intro to the game : Skate 2

this song is in it

it is also the reason why I'm listening to this song right now (I knew ELO before Skate 2 though.... Grand Theft Auto IV with Evil Woman =P)

[Amosis55]

Yea I worked that out after a couple of posts. There was a movie Skate a number of years ago, so at first I thought it was a movie.

[davidsolak]

i dident apprecate that skate kinda opened this song to all the people to who play that game..cause most of them will tihkn there cool now...but it is a great song..i have 3 albums!

[Ryan775]

I hear ya , but it was nice to see some classic rock in a game.

[davidsolak]

true

[akercocke666]

don't be such an elitist cock.

be proud that the game will probably get people IN to one of your favorite bands.

[davidsolak]

yeah bro like 10 year olds

[akercocke666]

im nineteen brother... the only reason im here is Skate 2....

but im getting some ELO albums on order...

soo....

fuck you?

[Amosis55]

!0 year olds 50 year olds. I'm sure they don't care how old the people are that are buying their music. As long as someone is.

[davidsolak]

but thats the thing there not buying the music there downloading it illegally ..so the band has no credit to anything

[Amosis55]

Some people still buy

[StridingMan]

ELO, in the top 20 of the greatest bands of the last century

[Amosis55]

Not sure if I'd go that far, but they did have some good tunes.

[StridingMan]

i think they have a really unique sound sometimes with influences of classic music what distinguishes them from the other great bands of their time for example CCR or Rare Earth. ;)

[lostmyyears]

skate2!!

[VULGARIS1901]

some reviewers said the soundtrack sucked...dunno what theyre talking about,shit's epic!

[Amosis55]

I thought Skate 2 was a movie. Now, i see it's a game. :)

[benf89]

First time I remember hearing this song was on Kingpin and have been an ELO fan since. I like what you've done with the video, good stuff.

[fire81]

skate 2 woohooo

[romantic1234]

remember summer 1,973...

[Amosis55]

Some of it. It's kind of a blur.

[Ryoki93]

I'm a big ELO fan too, have been since the 70's...Great song, thanks for putting it here!

[Amosis55]

Glad you like it, and You're welcome.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

good tune

[Amosis55]

I agree Thanks for dropping by.

[GetsumJ]

Great post. Always been a huge ELO fan. But for some reason, people just didn't get em. You either hated ELO, or you loved ELO but kept it to yourself.

[Amosis55]

Sometimes people need to hear something, more than once to get it.

[dutchellene]

Saw them in Amsterdam in 1975. Great group, unique in their own way.

[Amosis55]

I never seen them Live. Back then I didn't like the all that much. I just liked a couple of songs. This bring one of them

[troglodytic]

this is my themesong whenever i walk out onto the battlefield on SOCOM Confrontation

hehe

time for a showdown

[Amosis55]

Good Choice. I haven't played games since Duke Nukem 3D My comp is always a generation or so behind the times. :(

[troglodytic]

haha i gave up on videogames on the pc.

i have my xbox and ps3, and they make me quite happy. haha

by the way, they have Duke Nukem 3d for the Xbox 360. it made a good comeback.

[Amosis55]

I can't afford one of those either. I see you added this to your favourites a month ago. Thanks.

[troglodytic]

no problem, thanks for having the actual song on here instead of the live version or a chopped up one.

this song is on the movie Wildhogs.

[Alwaystuned]

I really like the girl at around 1:30 to about 1:42. Who is she?

[lionelmessi929]

One of my alltime classic rock favourites. Great tune.

[Amosis55]

You are right. It is an awesome song. Thanks for your comment.

[nightwolf014]

these are really great. i know about half the people you modded. i have not modded much lately, think i lost much interest of doing mods for a bit. just need a break here and there, i guess.:D jodie

[Amosis55]

I do that. Sometimes I just don't feel like it, and then I'll do a bunch.

[lovfallenangels]

Love the song

not so sure about the mods but I can just close my eyes and drift off.

Thank you

[Amosis55]

It is a great song. Sorry you don't like the mods. We can't all like the same stuff, but thanks for commenting.

I see you're from Toronto too.

[duskykat]

THIS is awesome! wonderful video...what talent! thank you for including me, as well =]

[Amosis55]

Thanks Hun. Glad you like it. Hehe You've been in most of them too.

[boadiceasings]

Holy Heck, Man! This Rocks!! Your fabulous work set to one of my all time favorite songs! Great transitions.. I love everyting about this video!!

[Amosis55]

Thanks. It is a great song. I've been working on this off and on for three weeks. This program rocks. So many options to learn and to use. It always looks a little different in the working view to the full view. Then again it looks a bit different once it's fully mixed and then again when it's uploaded. That said. I am happy with how it turned out. Glad you like it too.
