Miracle of Sound: Duke You Used to be Cool (Duke Nukem)

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Hot damn that was amazing!

The beginning reminded me a lot of Megadeth and their album 'Rust in Peace', too bad it didn't have an killer solo, but it still rocked without one!

Kudos to you!

I love you

I'm not good enough a guitar player to do rockin solos, I'm afraid

May get in some fancy shredders for future songs though when I can afford it

oh, and did the computer play the drums?

The computer played single hit drum samples in the patterns I copy pasted them into , yep!

Bashing the Duke? How dare you, Mister Sound!

I like the song. And I like the game. Stalemate.

Not really bashing him... just giving him some tough love and possibly good advice

 

[PrinceofPersia]

Hmm interesting song, and I normally am "meh" about metal. Thank you Miracle and Mr. Russ Pitts that was entertaining. As far as DNF goes just from all the gameplay videos I have seen ya it aint the same Duke I saw in Duke Nukem 3D. Sorry Duke your fans just grew up.

How dare you giving the Duke advice!
Tough love on the other hand is probably okay. Though I think it'd be a better double entendrè if you were female.

Great song and I agree with the message.The 2 weapon rule kinda ruined it all,amongst other things.

I think it was the only game that I almost punched the monitor when I died by accident and I had to wait 2 minutes for the damned loading screen each time.

 

[qeinar]

yet another fantastic song.

Let me guess. You played the 360 version?

 

[MrDefo]

This was a fun song, much more listenable on its own merits. Reminds me of Machine Fish-era Galactic Cowboys.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Another sub-genre of rock conquered!

I'm not sure if Duke can be saved. I can't decide whether the song is about what Duke needs to do to improve or if it's a hark back to the golden age Nukem can't ever return to...either way good...

 

[Sonicron]

That was actually pretty cool and made me want to buy it. I think you have failed good sir.

I had the same reaction when editing the video. For a game I hate, it does have some really good visuals. But it's not a fun game to play.

Looking at the gameplay footage from the original, I was blown away by how much more fun it looks, just from the capture footage.

Took the words right out of my mouth. That footage looked like fun and made me laugh quite a bit, and then I felt like crying when I remembered how piss-poor the one-liners were on average and how shoddy the gameplay was.

Anyway, another cool song, Gavin! Keep it up!
... wait, maybe that's not the best choice of words in the context of DNF... >.>

 

[burningdragoon]

Oh man, this song was somewhere between awesome and... awesome.

 

[TETSUOrocks]

This is actually rather good as a song game review. Rebecca Mayes Epicness!!

The PC version actually.

My system specs were set to high.The timer of load times were fluctuating between 1.30 - 2.03 mins.

 

[mikespoff]

Great song, awesome work as usual. And yet another variation in style! Impressive as ever.

wrt the visuals, I'm less inclined than ever to play DNF, as much as I enjoyed DN3D. Excellent video, though - thanks for giving us more of a feel of the game.

 

[Metalrocks]

lol, thats how i was feeling when i was playing this crap. lets hope the next duke will be better and for sure not this 2 weapon system anymore.
still wish i cna get my money back for it.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Wow, that's probably my favorite song you've done so far. Great job!

 

[timelordrick]

we should play this outside of gearbox. I think Duke needs an intervention. He's not dead yet, he just needs to be saved.

Also, I was the guy begging for a Duke song in the "Age of the Dragon" comments on youtube, so... Thank you My King!

Like I said before though, Wonderful piece of music.

When you said it was thrash metal on the Facebook page, I got a bit worried because I hate metal. But I am very pleased at the absence of growling and screaming.

Also, any idea when Sweet L.A. will be on Bandcamp/iTunes? Can't wait to get that one.

Today...

And metal doesn't all have screaming and growling in it. There are hundreds of different kinds of metal (I happen to like screaming and growling myself though)

Weird, hasn't shown up here on itunes at all today, maybe tomorrow.

OT: For me the screaming and growling type of metal always gave me a headache. Just wondering Sound but what kind of metal was that you used for the song?

I dunno...thrash metal with a pop chorus?

Ah I see. As other's have said I'm impressed by the range you have in these video's. You're making me drain my itune's gift card slowly at this rate. I think my favorites personaly are "Wheatley's Song" "Mind of the Bat" and "Wasteland Soul".
