What’s the best in life? To listen to this. See the volume rise. And hear the lamentations of your neighbors.

Here in 2023! Anyone else feel we need inspiration like this now, more than ever?

Conan, what is best in life? To crush the dislikes, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their thumbs!

I was 13 back in 1982 when my dad took me to the theatre to watch this movie.He left and went to the pub next door for a few pints while I got to sit there in awe as this amazing spectacle unfolded before my eyes.My dad thought it was just a comic book movie. 😂😂😂😂😂😂By the anvil of Crom!

I knew my two teenage sons were going to turn out ok when I came home from work one day to find the stereo cranked playing this. They BOUGHT the soundtrack cassette. I'm still proud of them.

"He is Conan, Cimmerian.. he won't cry, so I cry for him."

Crom laughs at your 2011 remakes, laughs from his mountain...

My dad took me to see this when I was twelve lol it totally changed my direction. Been lifting weights and making swords for the past 35 years .

There can not be a better soundtrack for a fantasy film than this one. Basil Poledouris RIP!

Arguably the best motion picture soundtrack ever made.

Few musical scores move the soul like Conan the Barbarian does. Basil Poledouris wrote a masterpiece that will last through the ages. It is visceral, haunting, evoking imagery of beauty and savagery.

Listening to the music, one can visualize the whole movie. Genius.

The most badass soundtrack ever. This music makes you feel like you can do anything.

Basil Poledouris often wrote inspired music, but none of his other Scores had the scope and grandeur of Conan. Two essential qualities that make a unique Masterpiece: had not aged a bit in 33 years and you can listen to it randomly forever, will never bore. Met the man in 1999, asked WHY HE NEVER CONDUCTED LIVE this splendid work. Answered he didn't like available orchestras and choruses. He was fighting for his life when he finally conducted it in Andalusia with a crappy Orchestra & Chorus. I was there. I gave him a hug afterwards. Out of tune Players and Chorus. Sad. RIP. Thank you for this immortal gift, Maestro.

One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever! Basil Poledouris rest in peace my sir, this was on another level! thank you for letting us have this magnificent peace of art work..

Conan the Barbarian was (in my opinion) an excellent movie, but what truly made it shine for me was the score. It was masterfully combined with what was happening in the movie, and each main character had their own musical theme. The Tree of Woe scene still brings a tear to my eye, as he hangs dying, the music is monotonous and sad, and just when it looks like the bleak end for Conan… it transitions into the wonderful musical theme of his hyrkanian archer friend coming to the rescue. It's beautiful and amazing, and to me epitomises what movies should strive for in music scores.

Back in the day me and my friends would listen to this sound track while playing D&D and drinking beer while eating domino's lol. I miss the good old days. Long live the true king of the barbarian's! "Conan"

"For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. *This* you can trust."

originally de laurentiis wanted Queen to score the soundtrack, similar to Flash Gordon but milius said no and brought in poledouris, thank god

music for grande men, best action film ever, viva the 80's

Such an excellent movie and soundtrack together. I don't need to see the movie listening to this, the movie plays in my head

Robert E. Howard constantly insisted that, late at night, the Shade of Conan stood behind his shoulder dictating stories of his exploits from 10,000 years in the past and that the words came so fast that Howard could barely keep up with them on his typewriter.

858 DISLIKES tell me they dont now how to handle epic stuff

No Oscar for this masterpiece,? I'm glad they didn't gave him an Oscar,this music is worth of a superior award !!And that award is the peoples of the world recognition as a MASTERPIECE! RIP, BASIL POLEDOURIS❤

Gracias Robert Howard. Gracias Arnold. Gracias Oliver Stone. Gracias John Millius.Gracias Basil!!!

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

those were the days of high adventure 👊

I watched the video over and over again, hundred of times. Still wetting my eyes when I saw Conan's eyes when he raised his head after pushing the gigantic wheel for over 20 years.

Me trae siempre recuerdos de tiempos pasados. Mi hermano y yo hablábamos muchas veces de ésta película y de su gran banda sonora. Un día le dedique una de las grandes frases de la película; Si yo estuviese muerto y tú luchases por tu vida, volvería de las tinieblas, del abismo del infierno, para luchar a tu lado. Hoy yo estoy aquí y el no, pero sé que el también volveria... pero esa es otra historia...

One of the most beautiful soundtracks I have ever heard. It has so many emotions, truly a masterpiece.

One of the best soundstracks ever composed. Rip Basil Poledouris. I love this film and, of course, this masterpiece.

Best soundtrack in the history of cinema!

Crom laughs at the 311 dislikes ... for they do not know the riddle of music!

One of the most epic soundtracks ever made, Basil Poledouris is a genius

No one in this world must you trust,..not women, not men, not beast, but this song you can trust -- Crom

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

Nobody will ever make a more sweeping classical masterpiece than these old flicks. Star wars, great. But CONAN well, Luke skywalker never cut the head of darth vader and tossed it down the stairs of the death star. Conan did. Makes me wonder what Basil could have done with Star Wars

Love this soundtrack and Basil Poledouris. This is a perfect example of what an amazing soundtrack can do for a movie

Basil Poledouris was a great screen composer. Did not know he wrote the score for Conan as well. Crom is pleased.

One of the most underrated soundtracks of all time. LOVE IT

How this soundtrack was not nominated for best original score is beyond me.

What is best in life Conan? "Ti destroy your Enemies ,See them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women!!!

I listened to this 3 times in a row while raiding in WoW. After a while I forgot I had it playing in the background and thought "World of Warcraft has really upped their game for awesome raiding music" then I realized that I was still listening to the theme song for AHNOLD!!!

This song changed my life forever.

This movie has so many fantastic quotes. This soundtrack is a testament to the gods. This movie along with numerous 80's movies shaped my childhood and is partly to blame for the person I have become... And if you do not listen... THEN TO HELL WITH YOU!

Conan the Barbarian is a mandatory movie/ost for every men. The riddle of steel??? Easy! Its on the beginning of the movie with Nietzsche quote...From suffering and pain, you will get stronger and conquer your objectives in life. Conan did just that never giving up. What a movie, full of testosterone and courage, magic and battles, kings and wizards... Deeply inspiring for me since i was a little boy. Now...stop reading this youtube comment and go and conquer the world!!!

It's just strange how even after decades these old movies still feel the best! The adventures seem fresh and the music fits like a glove to hand. Truly the Prodcuer had a strong vision how to create this masterpiece. Definately my favourite moment in the movie: "Do you want to live forever!" Loved it as a child and Love it still!! This soundtrack is pure gold!

Crom laughs at the two who thumbed this down.

"Why do YOU cry?" "He is Conan. Cimmerian. He won't cry.....so I cry for him." Later...that following morning... "Do you want to live forever?"

Basil knew what he was doing here. One of the best original soundtracks of all time.

Just as it was intended, this music makes me feel like a warrior...strong, bold, and fearless with cold steel in my hand at the ready! Onward brothers, to battle!!!

And Crom gave us Basil Poledouris who left us with this masterpiece.

There aren't many soundtracks that make the hairs on your neck stand up while listening to them - but this one does. That opening track and score is epic.

To crush your box office, to see critics scatter before you and hear the lamentations of the girly men.

Basil Poledouris was a musical genius.

R.I.P., Basil. Such a fine composer.

The best soundtrack of all time, period🖤

Basil Poledouris supremo!

EPIC MUSIC EPIC MOVIE !

This score, this orchestrated music, the movie's atmosphere, it's color, it's old narrative...it was all art. You can't try to copy or top that with modern generic crashing, blood, and explosions. Learn your lesson Hollywood. Learn it well.

I love that when you close your eyes and listen, you can see the whole movie in your mind. Musical storytelling.

Esto no es música ,es MAGIA!!!!!!!

1:01 Man, that kick-in! This is a masterpiece score! Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!

Absolutely love this soundtrack and the movies from the 80's. Playing Mortal Kombat right now listening to itwith my headphones on.

That is Strength, Boy, THAT is Power. What is Steel next to the Hand That Wields it. Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

Yo, aún hoy Lunes 11/Abr/2022.. sigo escuchando toda la banda sonora de: «Conan el Bárbaro» no se porqué.. pero mas aún en la Semana Santa Cristiana. !Gracias por siempre al genio de Basil Poledouris!

so much power in a theme...If it were a national anthem, everyone would join the Army...

So... this is the paradise!!!

It is 2015 and this soundtrack is still one of the best EVER.

And so Conan became a king by his own hand. And this story shall also be told. (Arnie seriously pls do it, you are past 70 already, it's now or never :/ )

497 enemies have been crushed and only hear the lamentations of their women

This epic masterpiece is what I listen to while running 🏃🏻‍♀️/ working out, gives me the BEST motivation!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A king by his own hands...but that is another story... ( still waiting )

It was epic than, and epic now. The 137 dislikes are still looking for emptiness

Basil Poledouris is a legend!

"The gods are pleased with you! They will watch the battle." "Are they going to help?" "No....!" "Well then, tell them to stay out of our way! Ha!"

absolutely epic sountrack, got goosebumps everytime i listen to main theme as i had 30 or so years ago i saw this masterpiece

Why is this the greatest soundtrack of all time? Because every time you hear it, you can see in your mind every corresponding scene from the movie.

😌 So viele Jahre her und der Film, wie die Musik ein Klassiker.

Formidável e incomparável, pra mim, até hoje a melhor de todas as trilhas sonoras já produzida para um filme.

Listening to this awesome soundtrack while doing rehab on my knee. I have contemplated this on the Tree of Woe.

Conan the Barbarian is a great movie, and before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Game of Thrones, one that set an amazingly high bar for how to make grounded and adult fantasy. It is also a melting pot of great talents brought together at exactly the right time, with a hungry Arnold looking to dominate action stardom, a hungry Oliver Stone writing screenplays with the ambition of directing, and a hungry John Milius looking to make his mark after collaborating with Francis Ford Coppola on many outstanding films. What elevates the film beyond anything else is this cinematic score by Basil Poledouris that literally rocks the cinema and at times is like heavy metal for an orchestra, at other times is lyrical and pastoral, and is consistently emotional, uplifting, mystical, and filled with power anthems, while never forgetting the setting, the source material, or when to be quiet and reflective. A score that will remain legendary. Rest in peace. Crom is pleased.

Maravilloso, la vi cuando tenia 12 años..............que buena musica !!!

Nunca, nunca nadie va a superar esta obra maestra! Gracias BASIL POLEDOURIS!! Thank you so much Mr Basil 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏this is the best soundtrack in the human history!!!! Thank you....thank you so much Basil, thank you for this saga!!! MASTERPIECE, ANTHEMS!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Long live Basil Poledouris Long live Conan the barbarian 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Riders of doom makes me Cry 👏👏👏 No words to describe 😭😭😭😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Crom laughs at today's blockbusters soundtracks.

In the glorious days, when high fantasy was done right. When Sword and Sorcery carved out an empire where only the strong survived!

Best sound track ever

The most epic and majestic soundtrack ever made.

*MASTERPIECE*

Uma única frase: "Obrigado Arnold"🙏👊 Minha infância foi desafiadora e você me inspirou a ser forte e lutar!

Blade Runner and Conan (80's) have the best soundtrack of any movie, I might wager.

The first Song is so strong it gives you the feeling that u could climb a mountain and survive at the end or even surpass any life issues

Best soundtrack ever! A perfect fit for this epic movie!

One of the best, if not THE BEST movie soundtrack of all time. A true and evergreen masterpiece of music. Bravo Basil Poledouris. R.I.P.

Una banda sonora exquisita, para una película de imperecedero recuerdo. Conan El Bárbaro fue un auténtico taquillazo que influyó grata y fuertemente en los videojuegos de la época. Si no hubiésemos tenido a Conan en el cine, sagas como Golden Axe, Knight of The Rounds (entre muchos otros) no serían lo mismo. Saludos desde España 🇪🇦🇪🇺

This theme makes me cry the music is angelic and creepy at the same time

Mein Erstes Barbarisches Kinoerlebnis werde ich nie vergessen, was für ein Film mit toller Musik. Danke

42 yr old middle aged man...life long conan fan....current Helldiver and this is what we ride into war with 🤣🤣
