Ladies and Gentlemen... The Megas! If video game cover bands could be called "concept" bands, then The Megas are a concept WITHIN a concept (METACONCEPT!), as they focus specifically on Mega Man themes with original (kickass) lyrics + vocals. I suppose in Japan they'd be "The Rocks," which is equally appropriate, because... they do. Sayeth their website: "Since the year 200X (4), The Megas have strived to bring a message from Dr. Light to the people. They have chosen to transmit that message, the tale of a small blue robot named Megaman, directly into the eardrums of the general populace through the power of rock."

The Annihilation of Monsteropolis/Airman (Lyrics)

Sitting in my throne up in the sky
You better watch out, guy.
Anyone who comes this way will die.

No one in this world can understand
Who I am
That is why I'm my own biggest fan.

Do you know what it's like to be built this way?
With only the power to push others away?

Insects crawl below they do not know
My anger grows
I'll return in full everything that they're owed

Lives on this earth I grow tired of
Death from above
The annihilation of everyone you know and love

Do you know what it's like to be built this way?
With only the power to push others away?

Up in the sky
Ten miles high
A man stands above the city he will destroy.
Built from airplane parts, his propeller spins as he thinks to himself...
I will destroy these people.

(I will fly high above Monsteropolis, and I'll rain terror down on the general populace)

For if I can't walk among them
Then I will walk the world alone
There'll be a fire in the sky
And your doom will rain down!

Built from pieces of SR-71s
And planes that crashed in World War II.
There will be a tombstone with The Planet Earth engraved on it!

Do you know what it's like to be built this way?
With only the power to push others away?
You've a heavy role to bear
Do you think you can carry it?
I'll usher in the end
Upon my thunder chariot...

Mega Man 2, known in Japan as Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily (ロックマン2 Dr.ワイリーの謎, Rokkuman Tsū Dokutā Wairī no Nazo?), is a platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second installment in the original Mega Man series. The game was released in Japan in 1988, and in North America and Europe the following years. Mega Man 2 continues the titular protagonist's battle against the evil Dr. Wily and his rogue robots. The game features graphical and gameplay changes from the first Mega Man game, many of which have remained throughout the series. Although sales for Mega Man were unimpressive, Capcom allowed the Rockman team to create a sequel. They worked concurrently on other Capcom projects, using their free time to develop the game. Unused content from the previous title was integrated into Mega Man 2. Takashi Tateishi, Manami Matsumae, and Yoshihiro Sakaguchi composed the soundtrack. With more than 1.5 million copies sold, the game is the best-selling Mega Man title. Critics focused on the audio-visuals and gameplay, and commented that it was an improvement over the first game. Mega Man 2 has received high praise by many publications as the best title in the series as well as one of the greatest video games of all time. Mega Man 2 has been re-released on several consoles and mobile phones.

[ultranattt]

this is not an overclock remix, it's just the original version of annihilation of monsteropolis by the megas.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@ultranattt Then tell me why it's posted on Overclocked Remix? I'm sure they wouldn't have posted it without permission. The Megas could be considered remixers since they essentially use video game themes and rework them, adding lyrics, etc etc. It's not uncommon for most any remixer on the site, to do things like that. At any rate, check the link in the description to OCR. Technically... we both may be right and that is that.

[bigjake52]

any one have a 1600x1050 rez of airman?

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@bigjake52 Not sure about a 1600x1050... but a 1500x1050 is in the video description, a link to safebooru. If you think it isn't "that big" then either click "always load the images in full" type of words or "original image" on the left side of the page.

[R3APER16]

2 people were pushed away by Air Man

[PixelJustice20XX]

@MagusJoseph

He's baked, just trying to find his way out of the smoke. obviously forgetting he has a fan built into his chest. toke away Airman, bring the haze to monsteropolis! the dro so pro they called it Thunder Chariot!!!

[fuzzum111]

6 people were pushed away by Air Man

[Anonym0109]

I think I found this song on Newgrounds.... am I confusing this with something else?

[Rylan42]

@R3APER16 Better make that 6.

[papershadow69]

I always thought Airman looked kinda silly.

Between this song and that image, now he scares the crap outta me

[Gileum]

I get it! Its from the US manual for MegaMan 1! You all dont have to keep telling me! I really appreciate the info, but you're kinda flooding my inbox! I've gotten like 20 people all telling me the same thing D:>

[SatoshiMatrix1]

@Gileum It comes from the US Box description from Megaman 1. The City that the six stolen and reprogrammed robots Dr. Light made occupied the city of Monsteropolis accrding to the box and manual of the first game. Megaman 2 doesn't ever say where it takes place, so the Megas took poetic license to decide that it too takes place in Monsteropolis as well. Same as they claim Airman was made of scape SR71s haha.

[thelostrune]

@eylusion2 I lawl'd...

[killerkirbydude]

@eylusion2

Awww, is da wittle boy upset that he can't speak his own language properly, has no life, and spends his sorry days quoting the lyrics of the song he's commenting on? You're pathetic and you know it.
