Basil Poledouris - Prologue / Anvil Of Crom

[GrammatonKarma]

"What gods do you pray to?" To Crom... but I seldom pray to him, he doesn't listen. "Than what good is he than?" He is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of steel?" If I don't know it he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me. That's Crom, strong on his mountain.

[StratarasKiourxXx]

EPIC !!!!

[DathanielTDK]

Arnold laughs at Jason Momoa and his lesser Conan portrayal. Mako laughs from beyond the grave at Morgan Freeman and his narration of the opening scenes. Krom laughs as the Conan remake from high on his mountain.

[ElgartheWise]

@DathanielTDK Sure, but Robert Howard laughs at Arnold and his Conan movies

[TheHasanMurat]

Children of Thulsa Doom= Eu and IMF snakes. Snakes in my beautiful city!!!!

[MrPrankmastergeneral]

The days of high adventure are the best time of my life.

[georgekostaras]

I saw the new conan movie, Mako is a way better announcer than fucking Morgan Freeman.

[NEOPARADlGM]

Okay, so in all honesty I have NEVER commented on likes and dislikes, but WTF PEOPLE? TEN dislikes?? GTFO.

[TheOwlMan]

"Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of The Sons Of Aries, there was an Age undreamed of...And onto this...Conan...Destined to wear The Jewelled Crown Of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow...It is I...His chronicle of who alone can tell thee of his Saga...Let me tell you of The Days Of High Adventure"!

Who-WHO will watch The Watchers?

@mfranko989 Funniest comment on youtube.

[NathtouLightbringer]

[Cocarat206]

RIP Mako, and RIP Basil Poledouris.

[Zryteriusz]

mega master...



[runsaber1]

@amafaga123 I'll say what I want, where ever I want.

you should really stop sucking Crom's dick. Bwahahaha

[Sonnetalex]

they should just keep this music for the new film?

[Judokkaa]

@Sonnetalex for sure

[jrny20]

10 of thulsa doom's minions were beheaded by Conan.

[connorsoldvideos]

I put this music on when I have sex.

[Vexed34]

One of the greatest themes of all time! I heard the studio originally wanted E. Morricone to do the title track. Thank goodness Milius had a different idea. ( I love Ennio too btw)

[Lathox]

Tried to find this on i-tunes. Only managed to find a version with clanging. Which does sound kinda like an anvil, and admittedly is cool. But I couldn't find THIS version. What's up with that?

[DrunkSoviet]

@Lathox its the suite version, which personally in my opinion is better, but its not bad to have the original around every now and then.

[krumovies26]

The great and all-powerful Mako!

*Angels sing*

[MrBastilleDay]

What do I know of culrtured ways? The gilt, the craft and the lie? I who was born on the naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they all fail when the broadsword songs! Rush in and die dogs! I was a man long before I was king.

[TeamBelmont91]

8 People got devoured alive by Thulsa Doom...

IN A TIME OF HIGH ADVENTURE!!

[Gracie0935]

One of the best sound tracks ever written.

[waxweb]

Why won't this piece stop kicking posterior? It just doesn't get old! :-D

[latinoheat361]

this is the greatest opening theme i have ever heard. if the remake used this i would have gave it a chance but they didnt.

[runsaber1]

between the time when the oceans drank atlantis

and the rise of the Sons of Aryas

there was an age undreamed of

and onto this 0bama destined to suck 50,000 muslim cocks daily

and be fucked up the ass by 10,000 jihadists each night

then raped with heavy loss in the election of 2012

It is I the chronicler who can tell of the rejoicing of the entire USA, the world, and the happiness of everything on the planet after he was gone forever

*start anvil of crom theme*

[CEShannVfB]

@runsaber1 Too bad most of the world celebrated when Obama was elected.

I suppose you would be more content with another inept pea-brain like Bush back in office?

And Americans wonder why so many have lost faith in the US.....

[blake102584]

2:59 is the part of the song that was ripped and used as the baseline sound for "Fuck Em" by David Banner!

RIP MAKO

[jackof4356]

Listen to this when you wrok out, your balls will grow 10 sizes, and you musicles with become riped in no time, and you'll be like conan, getting laid and chopin' bad guy's heads off. >:3

[capelo30]

8 people shall feel the barbarian king's blade... Hack off their undersized heads.

"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women..."

[empath69]

@krisvires Exactly, Timujin. ^_^

[xknlion66]

@krisvires CROOOOOOOM

[closeintime]

this is what EPIC sounds like!

[jackof4356]

Holy shit this song made my balls grow 10 sizes!!

[dje203]

The 8 dislikes know not what is best in life..!!

[dje203]

I wonder what Gladiators movie soundtrack would have sounded like if Basil composed it. No discredit to Hanz Zimmerman, he also is an amazing composer. Two thumbs way up to two amazing titles.!! And two amazing composers.!! Cheers

[iatemyhands]

HA Crom laughs at your four winds...

[ZenCatcher]

I plan on having a viking funeral when I die, and I think I'm going to have this blasting at full volume as they push my boat out to sea.

[goma3]

@ZenCatcher

F yeah!

And now, from his commander center deep behind enemy lines in Austin Texas...Alex jones....

[Ryushinku]

Right, I'm off to invade Luxembourg.

No reason, just had to pick somewhere *picks up battle axe*

[Spudogg1983]

Where is my sword to go lop off some weaklings heads, and watch the blood spill from their bodies like a fountain of crimson water !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[w7100]

damn they just can't make movies like this anymore

[harrykoul]

@w7100  Totally agree , my friend

[nyra007]

I'm a bit young for this as I find myself expecting "But, a foolish samurai warrior, wielding a magic sword..."

That aside good listen.

[Tryzon]

I'd argue that Highlander's iconic intro, with a mysterious Sean Connery monologue followed by a Queen power ballad, is the greatest opening ever. Even so, Conan's is pretty badass.

[DIJV79]

"My God is the everlasting sky your God lives beneath him".

[MRELTUCO2]

Anyone know if the Alternate version is on youtube?

[Churruminonian]

8 people are gay

[juliangrimm]

This song plays when I wake up. No, really...I have it programmed into my alarm...

[anvilofcrom]

I could listen to those drums before the prolouge all day...sounds like the calm before war.

[esthelios]

best movie ever....i dont know why arnold just did 2..... very sad

[Wakipenda]

cus they werent too succesful! Like Van Gogh, who dint sell a painting ,while alive, Conan The Barbarian (and its amazing sountrack, which i consider top 5 in history of soundtracks) was completey underrated! Now Conan the Barbarian is a CLASSIC!

[kroooassant]

@Wakipenda underrated? I am 26 and i believe in Crom since i am 6 years old or something like that..

[Wakipenda]

the movie was a bit of a failure in movie theaters...it became well known afterwards (VCR)...and the proof of its failure in box office was that they only did 2 when there was supposed to be a third one: "Conan the King"... it failed in theaters but fans made it become a classic about "sword and sorcery"

[tholin2k]

The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

(points at sword) This you can trust

[alpha8147]

This masterpiece really brings out the Frank Frazetta-esque barbarian/warrior in all of us.

[DodgyJusByName]

@alpha8147 ditto, if i put this on in my gym, the beginner classes tend to step off the 'ring' when the intermediate and advanced go at it.

[zappinger]

Hither comes Arnold, destined to wear the bejeweled crown of Sacramento upon a troubled brow...

[zappinger]

@Eyebeemz You mean; CROM! wished this was his theme.

[echo1v]

...if only someone would tell me of the Days of High Adventure.

[thunderstick455]

This makes me want to rain hell on all who oppose me!

[johnny22233323]

My adrenaline stars pumping when the intro stops and the instrumentals really kick in.

[GreatCowProductions]

8 people suck.

[TARSTARBAS]

QUOD ME NON DESTRUIT FORTIFICETUR!!!

what can't destroy me, makes me stronger!!!

[HoXofHell]

CROM LAUGHS AT YOU DISLIKERS!

[Eyarisu]

Who the heck are the eight worthless creatures who dislike this masterpiece?

[Rajce89]

DUM DUM DUM on start so epic !

[HeroSavage]

We who have found this...are not gods...not giants...just men. 

[BosnianMilitia]

8 fags watched this fantastic masterpiece, long live Crom.

[Fhilbo]

8 people don't know the Riddle of Steel and will be laughed at by Crom as he tosses them out of Valhalla when they go before him. 

[Southerndragon100]

@Fhilbo LOL

[johnny22233323]

@Fhilbo What is the Riddle of Steel anyway, I think Thulsa Doom told him before the crucifixtion.

[Fhilbo]

@johnny22233323 "Steel isn't strong boy! Flesh is stronger! What is sword compared to the hand that wields it??"

[ReLeonidaSpartan]

@Fhilbo

8 peolpe follows Thulsa Doom

[TheHornedReaper666]

@Fhilbo

The fact that you think that Crom lives in Valhalla is sad. Read the books by REH and come back, noob. You are lucky Crom doesn't care about our pitiful human lives!

[Fhilbo]

@TheHornedReaper666 Fool, i don't think Crom 'lives' anywhere. He doesn't care because he doesn't exist. I too have read the Howard stories, however, THIS track is from the movie, and in the movie, Conan tells Subotai he'll be laughed at by Crom and thrown out of valhalla if he doesn't know the riddle of steel. I was referncing the movie, not Robert Howard. Dumbass.

[hollywoodwerewolf]

@Fhilbo Crom would not let them near his mountain hall. He'd strike them down with thunder or stone.

[sansrep]

8 peoples serve Thulsa Doom...doesn't matter.

- Conan, what do you suggest for them ?

- I will crush these enemies, see them driven before me...and I will here the lamentations of their women !"

[Mamawaldi07]

8 followers of Seth who became pissed off when Conan interrupted their orgy.

[zappinger]

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryos, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

[Aikidolover29]

8 people cant handle the high adventure

[unitedcitizens]

8 people were disappointed when Thulsa Doom was crushed neath the heel of CONAN!!!

[joemammasboy]

eight people are candy pants liberal sissies who shall not be told of the days of high adventure!

[Serb1anArchangel]

This song is simply the song UBER ALLES! It simply makes me want to get a sword and butcher down anyone in my way while blood is washing my path.

[SoberAllmanBrosFan]

During my early college years, I had a real animal house!

every morning, after a a rage, I'd throw Conan in the DVD player and wake all my hungover buddies with this classic intro! Got us really pumped up to keep it goin!

[Shooteronly]

i want this tune to be played whenever i enter a public building.FALL ON YOUR KNEES PEASANTS!

[cid871]

For those who dislike...please go jump a bridge...

[panokao]

EPIC!

[crunchyxr]

OK. Poleduoris dead (hard to accept), Arnold, (even harder to accepet - his office), O.Stone nowhere to be found... yet a remake... yeah... tittilating

[goblarf]

there are some songs ,and there are some songs which make you feel like your going to grab a two handed sword and reap some colossus heads . Conan is the shit and fuck the studio for giving marcus nispel the opportunity to shoot THE legend. This guy can't handle/master this degree of epicness ,and ,by the way ...

who can?

[horriehomepage]

@goblarf

Dude I couldn't have said it better myself (about the two handed sword thing). :-)

Hail Crom!

(and fuck the four winds)

@Conan0fCimmeria Bastard! Copied my quote from almost a year ago! Conan says the hell with you!

[Profos5]

Powerful music can make a movie.

[BurgerBuller]

from 2.00 to 2.40 make's you wanna take sword in hand ;P

[TheZeldaLover1]

I was very surprised to find out this movie is about organized religion I was shock

[Deschian]

@TheZeldaLover1  You mean the following of the Church of Arnold?

[HeavyMetalPL]

I fucking love 2:00 - 2:40 part

[FacelessWarrior86]

@HeavyMetalPL Yes, it's truly epic!

[lordhumungus69]

This would be the most menacing, badass, sinister entrance song in the UFC. 

[noshabibis]

@lordhumungus69  your comment is gay.

[lordhumungus69]

@noshabibis HAHA! This queer noshabibis is just bitter because I destroyed him in another forum because he drives an old, gay corvette that came with leg warmers, a Members Only jacket and a gold chain. Nice try, dick. Back to the drawing board.

[leobindaas]

@lordhumungus69 .. that too for brock lesnar .. i get chills thinking about it

[MonkeySpank100]

Before battle, they should play this to get everyone fired up.

[Gheorgyi]

@MonkeySpank100 WHAT battle? Are you keen that battles be fought AGAIN??!!! Didn't mankind have enough of them??!!! Gheorghij

[EckardSaiyajin]

This soundtrack is the best thing I've heard !!!!

[DestinyHeroFlamer]

sounds a bit like a zelda game. Best movie ever

I've had that memorized for my entire life. I don't know why but I can quote it on the spot at any time. Destroyer had one too but I don't know it. Love this music.

[deaethcoil]

"Let me tell you of the days of HIGH adventure!"

E P I C

[Darwolf1000]

Shit movie Conan didn't have brown hair he did not carry around a funny looking wall hanging sword. He wasn't a body builder. Try to make Conan a slave n he would rip you a new one or atleast escape.Conan acts like a lion not a bland actor.He wouldn't have passes out from drinking to much. he doesn't beat on animals like a punk . he wouldn't hang out with a wizard

[leobindaas]

@Darwolf1000 .. what movie are you talking about?

[Darwolf1000]

@leobindaas Arnis as the so called Conan the barbarian

[Serb1anArchangel]

@Darwolf1000 Arnold is the Conan you fucking idiot! Nobody, simply nobody can replace him.

[f4ckutube]

I like to think that Conan is a semi-autobiography of Arnold. A man of great strength comes from the north and becomes king by his own hand.

[f4ckutube]

The rhythm and brass are very similar to the Total Recall theme.

[PawelnasBelka]

zajebiste



[poppik129]

These were the days of HIGH adventure....

[AndresDrakulAlcaide]

A new word far beyond EPIC should be created to refer to this MASTERPIECE.

[GodfatherSandro]

This song makes me want to get my sword of Aquilonia and show all my power and say: Come and feel my wrath and justice!!

[Shinning47]

It's make me feel like if I could Knockout a camel!!!

[Icnon]

R.I.P Mako (2)

[UndercoverCracker]

So epic! Is that weird that I want to kill people and rape women after hearing this?

[TheFallenWarchief]

@UndercoverCracker no its not :P

@TheFallenWarchief Oh goody. >:D

[kinglouie23]
