I hope someday he listens to the Johnny Silverhand version, which I think is just called "The Rebel Path - Cello Version"

The soundtrack is absolutely incredible. Nothing else compares to its originality and the way it perfectly captures the world of cyberpunk

This song has power like those old, huge single-cilynder engines, just pumping along.

The guy on the art is V, the main character in male form. The theme I believe can be considered Johnny Silverhand's theme, which is Keanu Reeves' character. As for the game, it is a lot better now than it was at launch. Definitely a solid experience.

There’s a cello version for the song which is used in one of the most tense moments in the game. The pure passion and hatred that emanates from the song is so pure, you can really understand what it feels like to be wronged and thus, rebelling. Just search up the rebel path cello version.

Can't wait to see the Pon Pon Sh*t reaction 😂

This song was when I fell in love with the game, the section where it plays and the character that comes to mind with it is a really powerful moment, which is also fairly early into the game. But damn, I can't avoid getting excited even 2 years after playing it.

Real respect for actually providing a good thoughtout review of the track isn't of pausing every so often in the middle of the song and saying some stuff for a minute or few seconds at the end and that's it as some other videos of this type do

This game is a 1000% a masterpiece visually and musically and voice acting and gameplay. I hope the DLC is as good, this is a real masterpiece

The section in the game where this song plays, actually fits the music perfectly. Johnny's insanely agressive while you are listening to it, and you get a good idea about his personality during that mission. Hard to describe with words, has to be experienced.

From what I got from it this is almost 'the' song of Cyberpunk. Really prepares you for what you're in for throughout the game with the not-so-subtle motif of Johnny's theme.

This games music is pretty incredible. You have the score and then music from different radio stations in game that they had actual music artist make just for the game. All which are bangers. Definitely recommend more!

Fun fact, every quest name in this game is also a song track from various artists

Despite EVERYTHING thats happened around 2077 and what folks say about it there is one thing that most people can agree on even from day 1; every SINGLE track in this is a banger. The OST is REALLY good.

Militech raiding Maelstrom gang hideout was it for me in terms of atmospheric ambience in soundtrack

Witcher 3 and CP2077 have the greatest OSTs in gaming, fr tho

I literally listen to this in the gym all the time and it gets me so pumped, especially considering the section o the game this plays in with Johnny Silverhand.

For context(SPOLERS) this song is Johnny Silverhands theme as he is storming arasaka tower, to blow it up and get revenge on someone he cared for. V(vincent) or V(valerie) is watching said past as V and Silverhand are connected by Silverhands Personality construct. Silverhand died in 2044? after trying to escape the tower and was captured by arasaka. good concept of the lore of the song.

Great analysis. This songs coveys mouvement alright. In-game it actually plays for the first time at a very specific moment: you get introduced to Keanu's character where by himself wipes out an entire building of enemies (Matrix style). It hits so well !

"Messaging my brain" is a pretty good description for what a lot of the techno songs from this game feel like. Hard synths, but a slow BPM. Little variation in energy, but somehow easy to immerse yourself in it and meditate. I find it better than Lo-Fi for keeping me zoned in and working. The rest of the soundtrack includes a lot more variation. There's metal, there's pop, other types of electronic music, and obscure genres that show up on the radio. The bugs are improving so it's becoming a decent game now, but the one thing about the game that I won't forgive is that people in it have their own slang, since they're in the future and all, and that slang REALLY catches on quick. Not only did my own vocabulary start to change, but I've noticed more and more people started to use the terms too. So if you hear somebody call you "Choom" or say something's "preem", or if they say that somebody "flatlined", Cyberpunk is where those came from.

the cello version of “The Rebel Path” is so much better imo. the cello itself in this game’s music just so different, especially the ending song of the game

3:07 any time I get to this part of the song I can’t help but scream “GOOD MORNING NIGHT CITY” lol

So glad that you enjoyed this track! I would in fact say this is the game's Magnum Opus. The point in which this track plays is fairly early on and is hella memorable as one of the coolest scenes in the game, and definitely the one that hooks in the players. You're right in that it's a character's theme as you're introduced to a character by being dropped into their shoes and going full John Wick mode. It doesn't actually loop but has a diegetic level of intensity and instrumentation depending on the action on screen, and even has a Cello in some sections.

It's a video game adaptation of the Cyberpunk TTRPG, which is a TTRPG in the Cyberpunk dystopian sci-fi genre. So, yeah. Future. Specifically a Bladerunner-esque future..

I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. Lol. I got so fckn hyped while playing the game lol ICONIC

When you have mow down every gonk on the street in CP... this is your song as you step over one group of dead gangers to the next. RAR! CP2077 forever! Best game ever played!

One-shotting 'Saka scum with Johnny's Malorian to this beat is straight nova, choom. You should give it a try. >:D

The whole soundtrack is bangers mate.

Need more cyberpunk reactions! There's loads of orignal music for various gangs and more music for the Samurai band in the game

Petition for him to react to the Cello version

This song might be one of my favorite video game themes ever.. it's in all my play lists

Absolutely try anything by Rezodrone in this game. Kill the Messenger, Resist and Disorder, and Reaktion. Outside of the "in universe" soundtrack, The Heist is my personal favourite.

Cyberpunk is a game which had radio stations you can listen to, so as well as the main soundtrack music there's a wide range of genres made for the different stations. The song Wushu Dolls is often used in combat and is one of my favourites 👍🏻

cyberpunk 2077 is filled with bangers of different genres like rap, electronic and metal. Some of my favourites you might want to check out are: SOPHIE & Shygirl & Clockwork Venus - BM, DIRTY ROSES by Oneno & Perilous Futur, HEAVE HO by Konrad OldMoney feat Frawst & XerzeX and I REALLY WANT TO STAY AT YOUR HOUSE by Rosa Walton & Hallie Coggins

"Rebel Path" is one of the few soundtracks which have greater variation in a single title. Another one that comes to mind would be "Atlantis". Most of Cyberpunk 2077's soundtracks are true background music, meaning they blend into background to support the building atmosphere, than be overwhelmingly present & pulling away the attention from the presentation/action. That makes them however more "monotonic"

A war vet fighting his way to the heart of corruption in Night City. Driven to fanaticism from his loss and hellbent on bringing it all down in a wave of righteous, nuclear fire. That's what this song is all about.

"Add justice to the people's math, Blaze your way down the rebel path" there is 2 types of music in this game: there is the score of the game, such as this song, meant to be a soundtrack. plays during combat and during cut-scenes. then there is music meant to be what is listened to in this world by the characters, and thats the music that plays on the radio stations (yes plural) in game. their is so much good music in this game, the SAMURAI band tracks by the IRL band "refused" are amazing, and this song Rebel path has 2 versions check out the Chello version, also look at "V's theme"

Nobody answered your question -- AFAIK that cover portrait is not a celebrity, although it might be based on a real person/model/actor from the earliest cinematic trailer for the game, way back when. Not a problem, IMO...I'm not particularly hyped about famous actors being featured in video games. Yes, this piece is one of many great musical compositions in this game. There are a few I like less than others, but mostly they are real bangers.

Cyberpunk is definitely a game that gets more flack than it deserves, at least nowadays. The biggest problem is that at release, the game was just not optimized very well for how intensive the game can be on one's hardware. This resulted in the mess that it was at launch. Since then, a vast majority of the issues have been fixed, and if you have a semi recent pc or modern hardware like a PS5 it runs perfectly fine. They also have been releasing a lot of support for the game, and with the upcoming expansion, even more is on the way. The game itself was always great, and the music is so good. Highly recommend playing it. There's a lot of overlying leitmotifs in the music pertaining to both the main character, V, and the deuteragonist, Johnny Silverhand

Ok. We going all chrome , hm? Upgrade- blue stahl

To me this theme is very menacing it sound very bad ass for the characters it goes with. But to everyone seeing them. It sound like death is on their front door. Like a unstoppable force slowly coming

Highly recommend "Outsider No More". Beautiful Nomad vibes

now that you mention it, I think you're right, it does massage your brain

This one remember me from SSX 2012 deadly decents

You really could check it out more song from this game, especially the ones made by Samurai

TIME TO PARTY LIKES ITS 2023!

this tune rolls in while you play as Johnny Silverhand (the Rebel) and you carve your path through Arasaka tower to place a nuke in it's heart

Yeah the game had a poor release but it's since been fixed and there's plans for a big update coming this year. The game is legitimately one of my favourites. The music, the atmosphere and aesthetics, the dialogue, the voice acting are all stellar. Especially Keanu as Silverhand. I don't think anyone else could have played that character now that I got to know him.

Anyone know what the song in the background at 06:35 is? Very nice and chill to have in the background while studying!

The Cello version is hype as fuck.

Dude, if you haven't played this, the score for it, this song being the absolute lead, the game is god tier now. Musically it's kinda like a softer but heavier Carpenter Brut.

I’m playing the game now on my PS5 and it’s amazing. All the game breaking problems have been fixed. It runs great.

For me its the best song and gameplay moment in the game

I feel like Chippin' In would be the magnum opus here. There are many good songs, but that's the main one for the in-game band.

Damn, i was hoping it would be the cello version. oh well

Bro you gotta hear Resist and Disorder from this game, it slapsssss 👌🏻👌🏻

Circling now that we got the Cyberpunk we were promised, working AI, police, less bugs, more balanced combat, and the elements of the game that have always slapped like the music and atmosphere are even better

i love cyberpunk the story is so fucking good

Gonna rec Friday Night Firefight. Is it the best? No. But it's VERY effective at conveying a vibe.

try Cyberpunk 2077 Main theme man, you won't be disappointed

I will become a patron just to recommend Phantom Liberty among other tracks.

There is bad music, but I won't really consider it bad music because its intended to be like that. "Ponpon shit" its the name. Its basically meant to be obnoxios and annoying. It makes you feel old not understanding the current music kids are into. There is a quest where you are with a guy from the Samurai band, the ones that did the song you listened to, Never fade away and he goes all boomer on the girls that did the song, only to become friends with them, its pretty funny.

Say what you want about the game itself, but the score for the game is great. Amazing even. I would say that it was as groundbreaking for me as Doom 2016 soundtrack was. And yeah, cello version rocks even harder.

"Lets party likes its 2023" Johnny Silverhand 2077

Do Chippin In!

Played on the ps5 after the fixes, what a game and what an ost

Top game !

If you love the low frequences, you should sheck out the p. t. adamczyk & olga jankowska remix of "Never fade away". A remix of the song you already checked out and one of the lead composers and his friend. Such a fucking banger.

This game has the best music. You should check this game out. The music slaps HARD BTW, vexolstrom is the best radio station

Yeah the games launch was less than stellar to put it lightly but theyve slowly fixed all the gamebreaking bugs. The music however is nothin but bangers. You should try "V" , "The Heist", and "Been Good to Know ya"

love you and the content. quality person and channel.

Please do Cyberpunk 2077 - Black Dog by SAMURAI🙏

Should listen to Chippin' In if you haven't already

Cyberpunk reaches its zenith this month, with a free update that will irreversibly overhaul the game and a paid expansion with Idris Elba. Playing it would be the best way to listen to all the music

If your gonna review another song off this do chippin in by samurai. The fictional band from the game.

Damn, really hoped the cello version was included here... Oh well, next time.

Bad music = Pon Pon Shit

reage a shall never surrender de DMC

This comment may be late but Jesse, ur a cool dude bro

The ending asking for bad music in the game... idk if bad is the right term but curious to other happy cyberpunk viewers would put "pon pon shit" in that category. If so, thats my vote.

A couple of other people in the comments have already offered explanations for this track, but I wanna add my thoughts too. The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is one ruled by massive mega corporations who are selfish, ruthless and uncaring. The player character V is trying to pull off a "big score" to get rich quick and make a name for themselves, but of course things don't go to plan and V ends up a target of one of those corporations - Arasaka, while also sharing their body with the digitised consciousness of long dead rocker, ex soldier and anti-corp activist / militia leader Johnny Silverhand. In the past before he died, Silverhand attempted to tear down Arasaka by storming their headquarters in the game's setting - Night City. Him and a small team he managed to persuade to join him mounted what looked like would be a suicide mission to plant and detonate a nuke within the building. At some points in the course of the story of the game, you play as Johnny Silverhand rather than V, and his assault on Arasaka Tower is one of them. The Rebel Path is the track playing through that section of gameplay. Silverhand has a badass high powered pistol and his cybernetic arm has a built-in flamethrower in the palm that you get for a melee attack. You feel awesome as you blow away Arasaka's guards, and this track *really* enhances that. I don't know if it's been officially explained anywhere so I might just be stating the obvious here, but I believe the name of the track comes from the way both Silverhand and V find themselves in really bad situations where they have multiple options to choose between on how to proceed. One choice might seen more appealing than the others, but none of them are perfect and there's no way for everything to be resolved neatly with everyone going home happy and fulfilled. The Cyberpunk universe just isn't one of happy endings. Silverhand (and V if you choose to, it's an RPG after all) chose the option absolutely nobody thought he would, because it's the most ridiculous one that nobody in their right mind would choose - the suicide mission of attacking his insanely powerful enemy head on with no regard for his own safety or life. He chose to ignore and disobey everyone's hopes and expectations, plans and circumstances. He chose The Rebel Path. Side note - if anyone reading this hasn't experienced anything Cyberpunk but is curious what the world of it is really like, check out the music video for a song called Let You Down by Dawid Posialdo. It was the episode end credits theme for the Netflix series Cyberpunk Edgerunners which shares the setting of the game. The series is really good on it's own too, but the music video encapsulates the universe so well in it's short runtime.

There's some bad original music on some of the radio stations, if one looks for it.

Don't Fear the Reaper ending >

Too bad you did not choose the full version,in the game is a little longer and the beginning is more slower,I hope there will be more music from Cyberpunk 2077 there are a lot of great tracks )

Hi Jesse, I'm Jesse.

honestly, I prefer the Cello solo version.

They didn’t request the Cello Version, major L.

Make the main menu song review

more doom eternal ost

The cello version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

the cello version is way better
