[MRBIGBANDMAN]

@triskweline Creep

[Gibbagobba]

Does anyone here truly understand how much video games influence ever day of our lives? May the industry never run out of lives...

[Ekcyboo]

1:20 What's the name of that particular piece? Like, I know it's Halo, but which OST is it on?

[MrStealthdragon24]

[Jabberwockxeno]

*drools*

[halojoe10]

This is from Halo 2 dick-cocks -_-

[Absalutly06]

@halojoe10

Some are, some aren't. As in, the first segment wasn't Halo 2.

Also, 'dick' and 'cock' doesn't make sense. They are both the same meaning..wait, "dick chicken"?

[Surf4eva1011]

oh meh cheese,we played this with the high schoolers and i ish in 7th grade,almost 8th! :) bwahaha go violas!

[orangepops425]

@Surf4eva1011

im sorry. i just cant stand your use of 'ish' instead of is. also, your use of 'meh' instead of my. actually? 'oh meh cheese' is not an appropriate substitute for oh my god. preferably, dont use oh my god in the first place. i just wanted to let you know about that..

[BenjiCWK]

Reminds me so much of THAT mission from Halo: CE. It was the demo level too, I remember. Just hearing that music on the warmup, you knew this wasn't going to be quite like anything else you'd played. Then you land, 'HIT IT, MARINES!' and I've never looked back since :) Okay, maybe when in co-op and me and my buddy 'naded our entire squad on each ship for the lulz

[Traviskolber]

This piece is soo hard on the trumpet...

[TheTeamDancers]

This is the halo 3 theme the band one is halo 1

[MarieRavenclaw]

We're playing this in band too. I kinda sorta really love it!

[young0wylde0child]

[MarieRavenclaw]

I'm in Vermont.

[psiREALLYloveyou]

my band is playing this too! hahaha

[MrMane]

Heh, this is cool. We're playing this in my school's band (actually all three) along with the Civilization IV theme and Kingdom Hearts theme. Halo is by far my favorite to play.

[PsykoCB]

Hey MrMane(and MarieRavenclaw), do you guys go to Dixon High School? I do and we're playing this song too... my name is Chris Baroody.

[MrMane]

I don't. I live in Nebraska, and I can't think of any Dixon High Schools around here, so you probably don't. =\ Guess this shows that a lot of people are playing this song. Shows how awesome it is.

What instrument do you play?

[PsykoCB]

I play trumpet.

[MrMane]

Awesome. Me too.

[totalownage69]

oh man i saw this yesterday in fort collins only it was way more intense, for the 2nd half, the host played hardcore guitar over this and it sounded incredible!

[GoRDiNeSSSSS]

I Almost Cry :P

hahahahaha

[ubican450]

i think it doesn't have to be strings any instruments can play this song

[tubanator12]

these guys are amazing and i'm actually playing this in my band class right now, except we have no string instruments or voices. just brass, woodwinds, percussion, and a keyboardist

[yoko81]

mpakouras couldn't have said it better myself

[viddygamefreak1]

our orchestra is playing this right now! wow! we're playing the same sheet music!

[wyndmgirl]

our band is playing this, and it's the SHIT!!!

[ihcatiuchiha1989]

[Mipena11]

these guys are good, we'll see March 28

[Lordoftheringwraiths]

1:33 is a rememberance of halo 2. Good times.

[TaxidermyTime]

Tommy didn't play with you?

[007danny8]

coolz

[mpakouras]

Video games are both entertainment and Art. Don't believe me? Go and play Grant Theft Auto 4, a great scenario with an amazing story telling. Memorable characters and one of the most amazing and memorable protagonists to appear in Video games industry and Film industry alike, Niko Bellic.

What i am trying to say is that you can't come up and say "Video games sucks" or "There is no culture in them", trust me you will find a lot of culture in video games if you just look for it.

[guitar1560]

whyd you stop at the best part?

[whitecollarcriminal]

fuckin video games are being treated like the classics.

The world is coming to an end.

[evanjames123456789]

First of all, video games are classics. Name one film in 05 that is as classy and good as bioshock

[whitecollarcriminal]

I can name several.

I'll start with "Brother" and "Zatoichi"

[evanjames123456789]

okay, good points. but these days you have to admit, most studios are in the shit and are reaching to games and comics for ideas

[whitecollarcriminal]

I think the real problem is a generation that has been lost, which gave birth to a generation that doesn't value ANYTHING.

Years ago, the classics were respected and America had children who were inelligent and highly trained.

Now look...

Kids are absolute fucking idiots, their parents are absolute fucking idiots and the entire economy is in a freefall collapse.

Coincidence?

after all, video games, music and media only represent popular culture. The culture itself is degrading.

[evanjames123456789]

but these days, games and comics dont really represent popular culture. if anything, theyre still on the fringe

[ZolRing]

Every older generation finds a problem with every newer one.

Darn Them Rock and Rolls!

Darn Them Violent Movies!

Darn Them Video Games!

Your just showing what has always happened, the older generation finding something wrong with things they choose to not understand.

[ri8002]

@ zolring

Dude, I totally agree with you 100%. whitecollar thinks that everything is everyone else's fault but his own or "his" generation. Very common for ppl to point their finger b4 facing facts. If he wants to go down that path how parents now are horrible, maybe the older generation raised their kids wrong, which made our generation's parents retards, which made us retards.. hmm naw that can't be whats wrong maybe it's because no one wants to take responsibility for their actions =D

[ButteredMilk]

The world is coming to and end because people call themselves "Whitecollarcriminal"

What makes a movie greater than a video game?

[UndaThaRug]

The Videogame industry is KICKING everythings ass... Im glad im becoming part of it soon ! lol

[crissangelrules123]

im going this year at the orpheum

[blueskin95]

they have one every year are u going post it on youube

[Lobato1987]

I'm going to go see this show next month with a friend I can't wait.

[insertnamehere0001]

I got to play this last year in HS band, fun song.

[hrhitter620]

hey cool, my orchaestra is playing this song this year.

[kistasha1407]

I can't wait till next saturday. ITS COMING TO THE TILLES CENTER IN LONG ISLAND!!

[Shippoyasha]

[kistasha1407]

[Rangerteddy]

[Hellmurdura1]

[956babygirl956]

[kibbiles413]

[EVHfacemelt]

[dcstarinthemaking]

[augenauf666]

hoooooooo lalalla trop classe

[worryrok4321]

[worryrok4321]

i played this at my school but it didnt sound as cool as this

[cisco1230]

the metal gear solid one is also good

[ELREW]

This Was Probley the best song next to Zelda. It was beautiful.

[anakha990]

My orchestra played this song. We sucked, but it was fun.

[STALKERX9]

The first soung makes me sad, badly damn sad.

Remembrance is the name of it if i´m right.... "(remembers)" me the future of mankind, and the Universe.

[sms2012]

the string parts aren't as easy cos 2nd violin goes into 3 & 4th position and 1st plays an octave up, and some parts are mad fast and hard...but other than those few parts, it's easy.

[Terrorbore]

by far the best game soundtrack ever !

[soccerjericho]

Heavenly music.

[Waliduz]

this is just beautifull, my absolute favourite theme(and i work with games so that says alot...)

[rizyu]

When they were in New York yesterday Tommy played the electric guitar for this. It was awsome.

[HeroOFTime99]

Yeah, he did that when they played in Houston last summer also, seeing it again this year. =]

[HHHdahman]

Houston county?

or Houston, texas?

[HeroOFTime99]

Texas.

[SgtGumbo]

were playing this and we dont even have any strings, disapointing

[Daichi2]

We're doing a marching band version of this for my juniour year...I'm gonna be in the pit on xylophone. It's gonna be sick. It's hard, though. Really hard.

[pokemonfanclubs]

My middle school is playing this. im 3rd clarinet and it is still kinda hard

[fettucchini]

Haha my high school band is playing it and its way too easy for us.

[jo0rmaybenot]

same here, except we had a hard time with the singing haha

[Nitoryuu]

your schools are cool =(

[kevalenoxx]

im playing this in orchestra

[equinexphsyco]

yeah it was probably an arranged and watered down version of it

xD

[basketci90]

chilling song its look like the main theme of the game mafia

[gerryfanwestlylvr]

this song is so much fun to play. I love the viola and cello part

[97thqoq]

same here dude. 1st violin is pretty sick.

[giddiegal77]

Hey my high school band is playing this and we're pretty good, but we are having some real trouble with this song

[Bassist700]

I LOL at the people saying this song is hard to play. Me and my eight grade band play it no problem.

[malumvolo]

I bet they sound horrible

[Pr0metheu5]

haha yea

[Pr0metheu5]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nerd

[TolsmirFifteen]

this kicks ass :)

[tonganbuilt808]

can some body help i have a heart attck ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[klmster47]

we played this song for a concert OMG it was so boring after 40th time

[Liberator130]

That's why your at home whining on a computer while these guys get paid to do it.

[123456cephiro]

dammit put the full version pls

halo rocks :P

[AmericanFries]

we play this song in band and it is nuts for high schoolers that have lives to play

[rezzinator1110]

I don't get it.... I absolutely LOVED all of the music in Halo... and their selection is probably the best imaginable for the series... and it's very well executed (it better be for a professional orchestra)....

the only thing is that Halo isn't really an Encore inspiring piece... it should be at like the "7th inning stretch" of the concert... when people's minds begin to wander.. to charge them back into the moment

[soundslikeanEwok]

good critic! ppl stop giving bad judges just coz of some critits...we all know, we do love halo (and the theme songs)

[rezzinator1110]

I still don't think it should be at the end of the performance, if I managed the soundtrack order, it'd be placed differently, but the song itself wouldn't change, just the order it's played compared to the others.

[Gakukun84]

does anyone know what the titles of these songs are?

[QWERTYkid911]

First is "Ghosts of Reach", then "Last Spartan", and finally, the main Halo Theme.

[jasonbrotherton]

This guy is correct!

[batterbee2000]

where is the rest of the video!?

[desertraven]

i demand that they play this at my funeral.

[razputen91]

i wish i could go to video games live!

[VergessenHeld]

Why the hell does this video stop right in the middle of the performance? For crying out loud...

[ribrid]

damnt this song is so great

[InVaZi0n]

OMg its soo good!

[nintendofreakXD]

love it sooo good

[hawking189]

OMG,I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
