Wellsir, no point in lauding praise at yuh, seems I've been beat to the punch by everybody and their brother already! I will say that on top of all the praise this song has already gotten it was also immensely FUN! And we all like fun, don't we?

As for suggestions for future songs, seems to me the most popular suggestion is Team Fortress 2, which tonally-speaking seems to fit your musical stylings like a glove. Another game that would work like gangbusters with your style would be Viewtiful Joe, what with the gameplay largely consisting of a guy dressed up like a power ranger super hero punching missiles into badguys and baduys into other badguys and other badguys into axe-wielding dinosaurs n' such. Also noticed a few people suggest Psychonauts, which if nothing else would give you ample material for truly compelling lyrics and concepts, so consider me a supporter of that idea as well!

That was awesome, can't wait to see someone make a gmod video with it and not credit you.
If you know any GMOD guys put them in touch, I'd love for it to get a proper video!

My self-proclaimed music-snob of a brother has demanded that I tell you what a great song you've made.

Now we must link it in the Valve forums.

Did you do the singing and instruments yourself or used some kind of mixing program or something?
I used Cubase SX.

Programmed the drums with a drum machine, played in the guitars, bass and keyboards myself!
I have a question. Do you record the guitar, bass and vocals at a recording studio and then put them on your computer, or is there some other way to do things?

dude that song is awesome...i think you should submit it to valve :)...Maybe a left 4 dead song might work? Like about rage quitters, Super groups that dont take their med kits, then after they get owned they try to enforce their rules on you. Also the chargers nudge people out of the way, jockey always misses, hunter sometimes slide across survivors heads and smokers tongue breakin for no reason....damn they need to fix that game :D

Very, very well done. I hate most fan-made musical homages to games, but I enjoyed this an incredible amount.

I don't think you understand that scene.
Don't really have to, do I. It's a dude clapping in black and white. No back story required.

Why so serious?

B-to-the-I-to-the-T-to-the-C-to-the-H-to-the-I-to-the-N-to-the-apostrophe. Your username suits you well, and I hope to God above that you somehow get this stuff out onto the radio; I haven't heard music as good as this for a long time.

I'm not gonna even bother post my oppinion, since it's pretty obvious. I'll just say the first word that comes to my mind instead.

It can all be done in the bedroom like I do.

YOu need:

A music recording software (Protools, Reason and Cubase are the best)

A soundcard with an interface for udio and microphones

A PC

All I have is my PC, a shitty little Samick guitar amp, Fender Squire guitar, cheap 90 euro bass and a Shure microphone.

Also, I took the liberty of asking John Funk if he would consider posting your song in the news room.

Hope you don't mind.

On the contrary Dude, I'd be delighted if it got featured!

I'm completely overwhelmed by the response to this, my youtube account had 3 subscribers this morning and now I have nearly 70 :) happy times!

I love you guys.

That's pretty fucking awesome, I highly respect anyone that actually plays the instruments in songs like that rather than just compose some digitally.
