    Very well, now it is secured in such a way that nobody will ever see it.

    Oh hey, I totally missed that you're going to the Asheville show
    Yeah, me and Cos will be there, you can buy us five (5) drinks each

  • TashernTashern Registered User regular
    Silly typos. I meant one and a hardy handshake, obviously.

    Yeah.

    I'll be honest, I'm surprised even one other person besides me is going that is on the forums.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Not a lot of forum people in this area
    You live in Asheville itself or nearby?

  • TashernTashern Registered User regular
    Yeeeeeah, sounds about right.

    I'm about an hour west of Asheville. This'll be my third time seein' them there. Usually they play at Broadway's though, right? First time at the Emerald lounge, I think. WHATEVER SUPER EXCITED.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Broadway's sucks so hard

  • TashernTashern Registered User regular
    The layout was shit, totally. This place seems like an upgrade.

  • CosCos Registered User regular
    Not to mention Broadway's door guy was an ass.

  • TashernTashern Registered User regular
    Grey Ghost and Cos, it was really nice to meet you guys! I would have liked to chit-chat a bit longer, but my ride wanted to get home at a decent time.

    Next time you guys are in the area (probably the next show) we should definitely grab a bite to eat or something.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Tash, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Hope to see you again before too long.

    In other news, there's a new mailer that just went out, and I guess there's some show dates and stuff, but the main thing is that the Queen album is coming

    next

    *was*. Shooting wrapped a few days ago. I was just a small time grunt helping where I could. I actually stayed as far away from the actual shots as possible just in case I nerded out. I wasn't even there for the Concert Day.
    I *was* going to post a link to a video some other dude shot while there, but he went and took the thing down. Probably cause the fool wasn't supposed to upload a video featuring the entire bloody song.
    But yea, I literally got into the band because I was working on this thing, only finding out I liked their work on the way to set. I can't fucking *wait* to see you guys lose your respective shit over this thing.

    Knew I should have signed up for that music video thing when I had the chance. Now I have to wait to watch it with the rest of the chumps.

    Look if you guys wanted to work 14 hour days for 5 days straight too, all you have to do is spend 40 grand on film school! Simple, really.

    But let's talk about things we can all appreciate, shall we? Like the fact that for a band who made me go "Well, it's technically a movie about Megaman" for 5 days, they use a ludicrously small amount of actual megaman music. Hell, I think they even retain them to just the first album and leave Act II to completely original riffs.
    Although I'll be the first to admit my MMMusic knowledge is sparse at best, so maybe they just blend it in so well that Marks like me simply can't pick it out when not translated through a nintendo cartridge.

    i wasn't aware any of the music in Act I was ripped from mega man

    the whistle in unrest in the house of light is similar to the NES proto man whistle but not quite the same

    uh

    I guess they have some 8-bit music in Will of One but I don't think it's straight from a mega man song

    Speed Racer on
  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    yeah, none of the music they use is taken from the original stuff

    it's only aesthetically similar

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    The Will of One actually contains a tiny bit of Flash Man's theme, or something very similar to it

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsW3oYwD2oM

    Go to 0:25 and start singing "through the glass 20 stories high and I have watched this city burn" to yourself
    It matches up

    I don't know why I keep showing this to people and nobody believes me
    You can hum right along!

    And when you get to "but if I staaaaaaaaaay heeeeeeeeeeeeere wiiiiiiiiiiith you" those notes in the Flash Man theme match up perfectly

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    it's a similar melody but it isn't the same sound

    I can sorta see it.

    Close enough it could be a thing. Far enough it could be a coincidence.

    But yeah. I can hear it.
