Reuploaded because the vocals are much nicer sounding in this version

I only wish they included Adagio's "So the Rainbooms want to turn this into a *real* battle of the bands? Then let's battle".

"Dang the Dazzlings/Sirens are so much better than the Rainbooms ://" ok yeah but that's the entire point. In terms of quality, the Sirens are superior by a landslide, and that's why this was so terrifying for the Rainbooms - but they had no choice but to try and win if it meant freeing their school from the Sirens' control. The Sirens basically sound professional thanks to their magic, while the Rainbooms are literally just a high school band with no real professional training. But of course, as is the moral of the story so many times in MLP, there is something the sirens lack that the Rainbooms don't - it's the magic of friendship. Even though these seven individuals have such different personalities and backgrounds, they were able to come together and make a song derived from having fun and their love for their friends, contrasting heavily with the Sirens' song meant to hypnotize for power. Perhaps in terms of quality, the Dazzlings/Sirens are better. But the Rainbooms don't care. They're not trying to be popular. They're just having fun and want to help their friends. Besides, isn't having fun the most important aspect of creative hobbies like songwriting/singing?

Finally, a movie where both the good guys and bad guys have amazing music

Its kinda funny how sonata is the most cheery and high-pitched person but she sings to base/tenor vocals

1:17 Thus cord is so good. Really emphasized the whole hypnosis bit with really nice cords and memoirs that the dazzlings used. They may be evil, but they are good at singing.

4:20-6:09: This was definitely Sunset Shimmer's moment and hour of triumph. Welcome to the Equestria Girls group, Element of Empathy. Or maybe she represents the Element of Redemption. Either way, she's back, y'all.

I listened to the version of a song where there’s only vocals. I can now never unhear the glitching

3:25 Fluttershy rocking the Tambourine

It's been a long time since 2014 but I'm still impressed by how good the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack is. The last part of this song still gives me the chills.

Its really no wonder the dazzling's voices are considered hypnotic, damn I never get tired of hearing their part of the song.

Never knew Monty liked my little pony

I absolutely love how you can lose yourself in The Dazzlings’ songs, like their siren effect is legitimately there While the Rainbooms have more fun and catchy toons that snaps you out of it and makes you want to dance and feel joy Bravo song makers! :00

i love this version so much more because it lets sonata and aria's vocals shine a lot more.

Daniel Ingram unleashed his musical beast in this one. DAMNNN

2:53-3:30 This guitar solo and the vocals of Twilight and Adagio.....Wow 🤩

1:55 the one guitar riff adds so much juice

I'm currently writing a musical that i imagine to be for a teen or even adult audience, but it owes the flow/form of its big climactic number to this one. I'm sure "the good and bad guys trade off, the latter seeming to win before an impactful solo by a struggling/redeemed character changes the course of the battle" isn't UNIQUE to Rainbow Rocks, but this take on it was iconic enough that it's still what i think of.

3:42 The call of the sirens

Rainbow rocks is the best one of the series and this song just proves it Can't change my mind hahah

Did anyone else come back for the nostalgia?

What a fascinating version. I definitely like the instrumentals of the album version better but the vocals are amazing! Is there a version like this of Battle of the Bands? I can't find one.

the tambourine is so aggressive in this version lol

4:41 Just look at Sunset's delivery in "Our music is bomb and is about to blow"

Flash Sentry: "RAINBOOMS RULE! That was AMAZING!"

ahhhh you can actually hear AJ’s voice during 2:07!!!

I like this more than the original!❤️❤️✨✨

I just want hear dazzlings vocals

MLP has so many AMAZING songs, but this is 100% one of the best ones. I get chills and tear up every time I hear it. Both sides of the song (the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings) are so powerful and beautiful.

i love how much louder aria and sonata are in this version [and applejack for the rainbooms bits]

“Come and heed us nothing can stop us now” this song is fire❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Another comment, but in this version you can hear Applejack’s voice in the first Rainbooms song, and the harmonies in the background sound so much better!!!

this song slaps so hard. ive been listening for like 10 years and its a musical masterpeice

WERE WELCOMED TO THE SHOW W THIS ONE ‼️‼️

4:19 Sunset's time to shine

The vocals do sound better here... . I love it :D

Boy am I glad this upload includes the intermittent battle in the middle. Most official sources remove it.

3:17 Rainbooms, attack!

Never thought I would discover such good music from a pony movie

this sparked my inner rock fanatic

That was pretty goddamn epic. The song was almost "Do You Remember Love?" from Macross and now it kind of IS on that level.

when the harmonies start kickin' in at 0:15 -- why is no one talking about the harmonies at the very start of the song like??? It caught me so off-guard, I didn't hear it back then but now I do-- I especially like the ones at 0:28 - 0:37

3:33 to 3:57 is the best part imo

What the hell. Why is this so good I'm losing my mind 😭😭😭

that guitar opening is absolutely godlike

they actually sould like sirens in this version

Bro this lowkey slaps

After watching this movie and saw the dazzling siren design, I thought that what sirens look like in Greek mythology

3:34 my favorite part :)

In the background it sounds like both the bands like the background music are also fighting each other

no but the transition from the dazzlings into the rainbooms..

I forgot how LONG this song was, omg! Holy cow!

SET MYSELF FREEE YEAHH!! LET IT ALL GO! GO! JUST LET IT BEEEEE YEAHHH!!!

I liked that the beginning of Welcome to the Show was in 8/4

2:53 Here’s the instrumental

3:42 I CAME HERE FOR THIS

This hits different🤯

Remember seeing this in theaters

wait omgs this is why i’m gay pleeeeaase be just the sirens

3:17 - 3:33

I'm 16 and I'm still listening to MLP songs. Personally, The Dazzlings should've won

how did they manage the vocals in the siren part?!! 'cause that was INTENSE and COOL!!!

Wow! This hits different 🎧

NOSTALGIC😮

THANK YOU IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR A PLAYLIST BUT ALL OF THEM GOT COPPA'D 💔

ROCK ON ladies

I wish the kept the instruments of the main 6 transforming that would’ve been cool

Showing off: I used this for an awesome story idea! Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina are sirens like the Dazzlings (feeding off of the opposite energy from them though). A villainess named Shadow manipulates them and the girls here into fighting with THIS song, she trashed the Wonder Colts’ reputation and uses it and this “hero” mission to get them to fight. Making the Rainbooms believe they were on par with the Dazzlings (the princesses’ arch enemies at the time) and the jewels they have on their dresses are actually part of them, not their dresses (which is true) and they serve the same purpose as the Dazzlings’ necklaces. HOWEVER the thing is... they don’t feed on this energy for power... it’s LITERALLY food to them. She trashed the Wonder Colts’ reputation to make the Princesses hate them, and she had a servant carve a fake prophecy and throw dirt onto it to make it look like it’s been there for as long as the actual prophecy, along with pretending to drop an object to help read it. The Princesses hear about the Wonder Colts’ “bad reputation” the Rainbooms hear about their so-called “conspiracy” with the Dazzlings, and Shadow tricks the Princesses into doing something ACTUALLY dangerous to lead the Titans on as well, (the “Teen Titans Go!” Titans) almost tricking the Wonder Colts into causing them to starve to death... until DarkStar raced into the blast and shielded the Princesses before their cores would end up shattered... NOW IS THAT AN “AWESOME” VILLAIN PLOT OR “WHAT”?! 🦹🏻‍♀️

they ATE ts up idc

This version is really good!!

That Hammond slid in so perfectly at 3:20

2:35 is the only part where the rhythm at 0:00 is in 4/4 time

An iconic song fr

Imagine adding up with Alan Parsons Project's Sirius and Eye In The Sky at 2:50 before siren battle sequence

2:41, i Love this part ❤😮

Me encanta la forma en la que empieza Bienvenido al show

3:33 anyone else hear that insane whistle note above adagios part?

0:54 wait Sonata and Aria sound so good here!!!

The bad guys was amazing

Is there backwards lyrics in this version? That's neat. Anyone figure it out? What subliminal messages are tucked into this siren song?

🎶3:34 3:35 3:36 3:37 3:38 3:39 3:40 3:41 3:42 3:43 3:44 3:45 3:46 3:47 3:48 3:49 3:50 3:51 3:52 3:53🎶

omfg tysm

i love the music at the end, it rlly sounds like just like a cool ending yknow

2:51 this point on sounds like Dragon Ball Xenoverse battle music lmao

I love this song I heard it a billion times 😍😊

MANE 7: TWILIGHT SPARKLE, SUNSET SHIMMER, PINKIE PIE, FLUTTERSHY, RARITY, APPLEJACK, AND RAINBOW DASH. SPIKE THE DRAGON.

Not seeing enough love for 3:17

The best 6 minutes of my life!!!

TWILIGHT SPARKLE, RARITY, APPLEJACK, RAINBOW DASH, PINKIE PIE, FLUTTERSHY, SUNSET SHIMMER, AND SPIKE.

2:16 3:16 BEST PARTS

Spike, 100 people got a crush on you.

Can definitely see why the mane6's first song got crushed to shreds by the baddies, it's the most skippable part of the track hahah.

Is there an instrumental version of this song somewhere? Specifically this version. More specifically, just a drum track. :p

I love this song

This is the HEAVIEST track from all of MLP and its fucking awesome!!!!

I 💕 the video so…..rocks amazing magic

Ah, good ol MLP equestria phase…

daniel put his whole ingramussy into this

The Twilight voice lecent like in spanish 3:29

Is this like an unmastered version? The mix sounds completely different than what's in the movie as well as the official trimmed version.
