The Video Game Rock Medley (FreddeGredde)

Рет қаралды 2,569,011

Күн бұрын

34 tracks from some of the most famous video games in one fluid rock medley! I'm honestly very happy with how this one turned out, and I hope that you will like it too! It doesn't have vocals and very little acoustic guitar though, so I know that some will be disappointed, but, can't please everyone!

Even after 7 years i think i still have to find a medley on KZfaq that is as well put together as this. Every song flows seamless into the next as if it were just another song section. This is incredibly well done, from the choice of instruments, the composition to the playing. Creating musical and emotional tension while still doing all the originals justice is hard but this is the perfect ecample of how to do it. The calm slowdown during FFX (5:30) or the break and drumfill leading into song of storms (7:40) are pure goosebump factorys and make me shiver every damn time. This is just so well made! Thanks mate.

So I truly hope, maybe for this videos 10th anniversary, you do another one?? If you don't, totally cool and alright! But I'll tell you what, having another timeless medley from you would be amazing! I hope you're doing well! Stay safe out there! :D

I think I've seen this video when it launched 9 years ago, yet I keep coming back to your stuff. It doesn't age, or if it does, it's graceful. Sometimes I get more excited by the speedy renditions of Kirby Super Star and Mega Man 2. Sometimes the minimalist and smooth vibe of Cave Story relaxes me. Sometimes the Gradius FFX KH segment brings me tears. And MGS2 is a perfect near finale. Both you guys did great, and this is some of the best VGM content on the web. Thank you for putting this together.
