Am I only one who thinks that prequels are underrated? Yep, I know that prequels weren't as great as classic trilogy but I enjoyed prequels and they did great job to show us how powerful and wise Palpatine is
Paladinfox, because the characters were so wooden and they were paced like Wikipedia articles. The overarching story was interesting, but they were told in about the least engaging way possible.
People hate the prequels because the Internet told them to. People are lemmings, or Womp rats rather. The only problem with the prequels is some of the lines are a bit hokey and some of the younger actors were pretty bad. 90% of the expanded universe from 1998 til Disney bought Lucasfilm were based on the prequels or earlier.
I actually enjoyed the prequels more, it had more jedi lore, introduced awsome characters such as mace windu, qui-gon, and was essentially a movie about the rise of the sith Darth Vader.
RainbroThrash I'm pretty sure they had to have gotten permission to even do this, especially to now be signed by a record. No one would fuck with Disney if there were legal repercussions for using one of their trademarks without a cut. If they did go around Disney I'd be surprised.
If I'm not mistaken, under the law they can record another composer's composition without permission but must pay a certain royalty fee based on sales & revenues etc. The legal idea that governs this is called "mechanical license." Had to research this same question for business reasons at one time.
+Rasp Absolutely not. That isn't how copyright works at all. This specific recording of this song is property of Rise Records/maybe the band (but they recorded this with funding from Rise, so probably not). The original composition/song is a copyright of LucasFilm/Disney since they paid John Williams to compose it for them, thus buying him out of his rights. The idea is that you can pay for a license that grants you permission to record any song you want, but only if the publisher of the song allows it (over 90% do). So Rise Records paid the licensing fee to Disney/Disney's music publishing branch which granted them permission to record this album. This isn't "copyright free." The recorded song's copyright belongs to Rise Records (and Galactic Empire?), whereas the original song's publishing rights, print rights (forms of copyright) and overall ownership belongs solely to Disney. TL;DR - This mp3 of the song = copyright RISE RECORDS. The song itself = copyright DISNEY.
This is amazing, would love to see this live. I can feel the force in this one! Keep filling the galaxy with your sounds and you'll be sure to bring the First Order to its knees.
@@CalumHGaming I picture it being like this: Obi-Wan: "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!" Anakin: "Bullshit! Maul had the high ground and he still lost!" Obi-Wan: "True, but unlike Maul, I'm not going to stand still like an idiot!"
Alright, Rise. You're on the right track. Let's keep this ball going. Death Eaters - Harry Potter Metal Covers InGen - Jurassic Park Metal Covers Raiders Of The Lost Ark - Indiana Jones Metal Covers Xenomorphs - Aliens Metal Covers MI6 - James Bond Metal Covers Heartless/Nobodies - Kingdom Hearts Metal Covers Team Rock it - Pokemon Metal Covers Gil Hoarders - Final Fantasy Covers All Of Westeros - Game Of Thrones Covers The Park Is Alive - Westworld Covers Get to it and we'll buy it.
When I first saw that Rise signed these guys I was stoked. This album they just dropped is phenomenal work. These recreations will be next to impossible to ever top. Fantastic.
Gotta say that the Podracing sequence is still one of the best done - the CG projection mapping stuff is flawless, the physics are incredible, amazing work
I believe it's Grant Macfarland ex-This or the Apocalypse drummer. Check his set. Grant is coincidentally friends with Matt Greiner of August Burns Red.
It actually works. I opened this up and opened a new tab with the Maul battle and played them at the same time. They don’t quite sync up properly but it still sounds awesome. Made that scene ten times better.
Anyone, who is a user of the Light Side of the Force shall cower in fear. The Dark Side will win, cause we users of the Dark Side of the Force aren't afraid of our emotions, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and hatred, we only see other people as nothing more than tools to evaluate ourselves. We are invincible, powerful, majestic and selfconfident. We are the Sith, Descendants of Lord Darth Bane, whi forged the Rule of the Two. A master and his apprentice.
Hi Galactic Empire, just want to say I'm a huge fan of your music! :) It stays true to the original soundtrack by John Williams, and yet it's so refreshing to listen to a rock version of the classic Star Wars themes. May I know if you'll be doing covers of songs from the Expanded Universe (such as Vode An, the Star Wars: The Old Republic main theme, Darth Revan's theme etc) or even a medley? Or perhaps even music from the TV shows, like Ahsoka's theme or the music from Star Wars Rebels? I can imagine it would be amazing! Anyway, keep up the good work and may the Force be with you!
Took me a while to find a metal cover of this that wasn't just draining all of the epic from the song. I should have just started with galactic empire. Please forgive me my masters

I dont like Episode 1, Episode 2 is ok, Episode 3 is the best Star Wars Episode EVER

I saw these guys live in Pittsburgh. One of the best things I've ever seen
Batman I wanted to go, my best friends cousin is in the band.
They are coming again here in a like a week or more
.... I think I just joined the Empire....
Welcome to the Dark Side friend, We don't have cookies but we do have metal. \m/
@@LORD_V4D3R We DO have cookies, and they're shaped like the death star
Lord_ Vader can I be a Grey Jedi and still be part of the empire?
@@lorekeeper8117 contradiction because jedi's cant be apart of the empire even if they are neutral in the force.
Good! Go-o-od!
Coolest solo since Han

Just did homework to this. I've never written so much so fast in my life.
Jarod Barrett as a teacher I applaud you. Seems like you've got that balance thing worked out and you'll go far. Just saying.
shiprek2011 Thanks. It's good to know that the Force is with me as I hopefully go into med school next year
Yeah, John Williams music does that to people.
Played this in high and graduated with honors
Welcome to the sith style of music. The jedi has forbidden it as its too cool, welcome to the gang of murderers, aka the sith
Palpatine: execute order rock and roll
Clone leaders: it will be done my lord
More like order 666
My face has been melted off.
aha!

I've heard this somewhere. I think some movie stole your song.
Chris Luna yeah I think it's called the star trek
Wasn this the soundtrack to the fight between Gandalf and Dr Who in Skyrim: The Deathly Hallows?
Chris Luna sounds to me like a song from the video game BlazBlue.
And they also made a jazz version for the fight of Ragnar vs. Superman in The Two Towers. \m/
I think it was Lord of the Rings X Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of Khan
......ugh .....the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of these drum parts.
goooooooooooood
It's no use Anakin! I have the Metal now!
"I have the higher gain now"
Conner Brough you underestimate my orchestra!
FXG_ LXIV Don't try it!
Anakin: this is the end of your musical career, my master *jumps with an electric guitar*

It scares me.
THROUGH THIS I GAIN ULTIMATE FENCING ABILITIES. PALPATINE doesn’t have the funds to buy me a lightsaber yet.
You were the chosen one!
You were meant to destroy Sith Records, not slellout and sign a 5 record deal with them!
Hahaha
Epic!!! Made me wanna watch The Phantom Menace again. Rock On Empire!!!
Tell me they travel to gigs in an Imperial class Rock Star Destroyer

George Lucas: Something seems incorrect here...
High ground only works if its Kenobi
@@CalumHGaming
I picture it being like this:
Obi-Wan: "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!"
Anakin: "Bullshit! Maul had the high ground and he still lost!"
Obi-Wan: "True, but unlike Maul, I'm not going to stand still like an idiot!"
Maybe the whole reason Anakin jumped was because he saw Obi-Wan beat Maul like that
You have brought out a inner metal side of me of which summoned the force.
Sounds like Star Wars took this from you guys! Phenomenal.
Richie Fredrick ?
Jamie Williams hes saying it sounds so good in metal form it could be a metal track not just film score
Jamie Williams He's saying it sounds like Star Wars made a cover off of this song because most covers do not sound as good as the original.
Alright, Rise. You're on the right track. Let's keep this ball going.

Maul failed me.
But at least he brought some awesome music doing his fight.
大銀河帝国の皇帝 Palpatine?
When I first saw that Rise signed these guys I was stoked. This album they just dropped is phenomenal work. These recreations will be next to impossible to ever top. Fantastic.
I can just imagine their circle pit full of larpers and reenactors swinging plastic light sabres at each other
It's everything I've ever wanted.
This album rocks! So glad to be part of this Kickstarter romp :D
HOLY FUCK SO MUCH POWER IN ONE SONG HOLY FUCK YES
I listen to this, and at the end I open my eyes and everything around including me, floating, and then I fall in shock
I've been waiting for a song like this for years. Thank you.
Duel of the Fates was the best thing to come out of the Phantom Menace and almost gives it some worth as a movie.
Philip Whitehead Also set the bar for lightsaber fights.
Which Anakin vs Obi-Wan did surpass.
Duel of the Fates + Darth Maul + the Lightsaber battle at the end = The best thing to come from Episode I
I always liked episode one, episode two got old; I thought
I think it’s a good movie in general
Gotta say that the Podracing sequence is still one of the best done - the CG projection mapping stuff is flawless, the physics are incredible, amazing work
This is excellent. No other way to put it.
When you sharpen both ends of you pencil

It’s over Anakin! I have the high note!
You underestimate my Beats
this is the shit !, this is one reason episode 1 was good, kick ass music to a kick ass fight
This put such a big smile on my face!! This is awesome and exactly my taste of metal as well!
And this was the version I was waiting for. Awesome!!
these guys are phenomenal
I can't stop rocking out to this. This is amazing!
This is the most awesome thing I have ever heard in my life
OMFG this is the best version i have ever heard
Awesome! This is sick bro!
I want to watch the scene in phantom menace with this song playing.
It actually works. I opened this up and opened a new tab with the Maul battle and played them at the same time. They don’t quite sync up properly but it still sounds awesome. Made that scene ten times better.
Imaginage playing this in background while Rey vs Kylo duel :D
The metal is strong with this one.
Guitar sounded like something from Coheed and Cambria and Dance Gavin Dance.
Jong-Jong Slownely I'd love to see a tour with all three of these bands.
Wesley Stone Who wouldn't?
Jong-Jong Slownely people who don't like good music lol
Wesley Stone Ha! Right! But I'm more of a DGD person. Since Jonny to Tilian.
Jong-Jong Slownely my top three are coheed, dance Gavin dance, and thrice. 🤘🏻

THIS IS THE GREATES THING IVE EVERRRRR HEAAARRRDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:25 Thar sounds more like 8-bit than a guitar
Oddly enough, this reminds me of playing Revenge of the Sith for the PS2. Good times...
Took me a while to find a metal cover of this that wasn't just draining all of the epic from the song. I should have just started with galactic empire. Please forgive me my masters
The force has been unleashed
YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY METAL
holy jesus that band is sick !!
Disney: You turned them against me !
Obi-Wan: Prog-Metal does.
Now I can imagine Qui Gon & Darth Maul fighting with electric guitars instead of lightsabers.
Tbh i still prefer when the villagers sang it
same
But what if u listen to both
The original song was a 10/10. Now it's a 11/10.
Can't wait to see these guys at Graspop next year!
this is just pure epicness
Oh god this is genius
chills everytime dude
If Dream Theater did the SW soundtrack, this would be it.
not at all lol
It's not Dream Theater style unless it's written in different weird time signatures.
!!! THIS IS AWESOME !!!
absolutely brilliant !
this is amazing!
For some reason this makes me think more of Final Fantasy than it does Star Wars.
Why not? John Williams and Nobuo Uematsu are epic composers. Look up Battle With the Four Fiends if you want a adrenaline rush.
great cover of a epic theme!
These guys are incredible.
Bass is freaking perfect!
Taking shit never been more epic
That's going into the 'Favorites'
i think of 300 spartans when this comes up.
PERFECTION
listening to this song makes me wanna use my unlimited power
I love how these are always the wrong lyrics but are used since corn on the cob sounds weird
very excellent i love it
Same camera from kanobi came here to record but again recorded it drunk but still rocks
thats why I love epsode one
Any way i can get a recording of this without the drums?????
I love it ❤
The music of STAR WARS is often better than the movie itself.
This is just one example.
These guys sounds like a star wars cover by Periphery and I find it so cool Bravo
Anyone know where I can buy this from that isn't the itunes store?
Amazing
When the school bully picks a fight with the quiet kid
These guys should tour to coincide with the release of the last jedi
this can cure cancer al day long baby
Awesome you people added like to this video very well
I don't know so much in music matters: what specific music genre is this song?
Riccardo Morgagni Progressive Metal/Djent
Impressive, most impressive.
This one needs a video like imperial march..and Darth Maul must be playing the guitar,qui gon the battery and Obi Wan the bass
Grant McFarland is a true Jedi Master on those drums.
This song alone justifies the double kick pedal
0:38 so cool
Love it 🖤
put this in 1.25 speed. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
Nice....
Thank you
Triton HD Thank you
This is n... *This **_is_** the band you're looking for.*
