⏩ Video Question: Did you play the original version of Doom back in the day? If not have you played ANY version of it??? Another shoutout to the TH-cam channel ANGEL4EVA for a great audio edit on this! For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
so it was mick gordon who mixed this version, its just been reuploaded over and over because bethesda copyright and what not. im also not sure but i vaguely remember bethesda and mick gordon wernt seeing eye to eye so he got the boot. All in all, the mick gordon mixes are what really makes these songs
Fun fact: there is an easter egg in Doom Eternal that lets you play the ORIGINAL doom 1 and 2. Its kinda tricky to get to them but ypu could always search it up. And yes you can play both games entirely since the game files of doom 1 and 2 are so small compared to modern games.
@@griffwilson5932 I'm fairly sure he used both as in article he's definitely quoted as using the idle of a chainsaw and I swear I saw somewhere he used a lawnmower but I couldn't find a reference for it.
Mick actually had to make multiple transitional bridge peices to have a dynamic music system that reacts to what the player is doing, wether they're in active combat or traversing the level. it takes incredible skill to not be able predict what the player will hear but still have a peice that feels almost like a movie score (as in it fits what the player is doing) partly because he took the games intesity during levels and imagined what "rythym" the player would be playing at if that makes any sense -also a little side note, Mick Gordon took a lot of inspiration and sound from all of the doom games so you might hear references to the OG soundtrack(s).
FINALLY someone said a word about the chords in 8:54 like god damn, these 5 seconds make the song ten times better, it's pretty much what I listen it for
That's the difference between these videos done by people who know how to use their instrument, and people who understand music as a whole. This guy hears the whole thing.
I'm glad that you pause and analyse the music it gives your videos meaning unlike some other channels who just sit there and say "wow" or "oh my god" and say nothing critical or analytical, thank you
yeah it adds much needed substance to react content. watching specialists talk about their field or creators their passion is why react content is interesting at all
I could not recommend Doom Eternal any more than I do. It's SO good. Genuinely one of the first games in a good decade that felt like a real evolution to the genre. Do yourself a favor and play it. One of the best FPS titles of all time.
100% Doom Eternal is fps perfection. I've not seen anything like it before, and I doubt any other developer could come close to matching it's intensity and sheer style. One of the brightest spots in the past decade of gaming.
@@bretwilliams249 Id carefully crafted every aspect of the game so that you play it the way they intended, the fun way, making you have to engage with each and every little mechanic they put in the way they want you to with just enough left for you to exploit without making it too easy. Every other modern game stuck with a formula or made their own and left the player to figure out. Doom Eternal fucking chokes you with their formula and violently teaches you how you can correctly chew it all down.
Also, just a heads up, some of that whirring effect that you said was a guitar/keyboard, is actually a lawnmower, because Mick Gordon is quite literally a god
8:50 to 9:00 in my opinion, is one of the most brutal yet beautiful changes in note I have ever heard in a piece of music to this day. So short and simple but damn is it effective to my emotional and physical states. I've tried selling this to people for years, it needs to be heard in full to be fully appreciated. This soundtrack is one of the greatest works of art ever, its been a staple of mine for years now since release.
I can confidently say I adore every single second of this song, but that section really reaches out and sinks it's claws into my chest. Sometimes it feels like my blood reverses course for a moment. It's the fucking best.
I just made another comment explaining how this is literally one of the best things i have legit ever heard. It is so fucking good sounding, i really dont think anything else compares, and i listen to *alot* of music. Like, i listen to music constantly no matter what im doing, and my playlist is almost 600 songs. but this, this little small few seconds of music is so immaculate. i dont know what other words to use for it, its heavenly, its divine, its incredible.
Marty O'Donnel's score for the Halo games will always be my favorite videogame music, but I think Doom takes a close second. It's just so dark and energetic, I love it!
@@readytopay6969 He and the other Infinite composers did a great job in recapturing and expanding upon the vibe of Halo's original music, but I generally prefer Marty's score.
Im not into the music industry, never played an instrument, but I really like your descriptions for whats happening before replaying the part. Its intuitive and allows me to follow along with the mind of an expert in the field. It spices up my vocabulary and allows me to listen to and recognize different "methods" that songs use to make the songs so good. I can more easily describe WHAT I like rather than just saying "this part was sick, the guitar was going hard", rather than saying "they moved the music 1/16th note" and pin point the reason I like that part, its very fulfilling. Edit: I know im basically using partial vocabulary, but I'm learning new words for how to describe these things every day with this channel.
I love seeing people still coming around to this music well after the game hype has ended. You definitely need to keep listening to Doom Eternal tracks. Mick is a bonafide genius.
6:05 actually legendary that it doesn't drop right there. I'm not even sure if Mick Designed the song to be like this or if someone else re-arranged the order XD
@@dacomputernerd4096 Not entirely. There are OST versions that the composer usually makes. Mick only made like 10 of them though for Eternal...theres actually controversy around it
The drums at the end sound like a rhythm for a military cadence. The voices at the end yelling "rip and tear" I remember reading were many prominent artists in the metal scene that Mick Gordon was able to get for that part. An interesting note is that Mick Gordon succeeded in creating Doom soundtracks that absolutely fit the modern Doom games and even feel modern but there pretty much isn't a song he did for them that doesn't pay homage to the original soundtracks of the first two Doom games and even the theme of Doom 3. He has weaved sometimes multiple rhythms, harmonies and melodies from the original soundtracks into his songs so anyone who absolutely loved the music in the originals and listened to them for countless hours will not be able to avoid feeling the nostalgia. Even this song, I heard two or three parts that were callbacks to the original games though I wouldn't be able to tell you which songs he took them from off the top of my head.
I see this channel growing a lot over time. His music reviews are very good, and he knows how to choose very well what to react to. I still hope to see a react from BFG Division (Doom), Last Surprise (Persona 5), Rivers In the Desert (Persona 5), Life Will Change (Persona 5) and Bury the Light (Devil May Cry 5).
It always makes u second guessing whats next and amping you up at the same time. Really buildup the tension and drive the combat in game forward with such intensity.
Great reaction! It was so awesome to hear these soundtracks in real time while playing the game for the first time. Both of these modern Doom games have such phenomenal soundtracks and you can really feel the passion that was put into them.
I was 11 when the original Doom came out. My parents didn't like the idea of me playing games where I just run around and shoot things, so I went to my friends house and we spent weeks playing it. (The shareware version, of course, cause we were 11 and didn't have money)
Glad you've stumbled onto the best version of this song, considering the amount of different remixes this one has gotten on YT. I really appreciate the input and reaction as always!
I really like your part-by-part breakdown type of reactions. It really helps with understanding the thought processes behind making music. Keep it up man!
@@voadoracobra5111 bro absolute truth I didn't know anything bout Guilty Gear but started listening to Strive's music through random recommendation and i eventually bought the game entirely thanks to its music
honestly drum roll tony, i look up to you and your videos lol. Not only do you react well to the music, you also sometimes or a lot lol will get into the musicallity of the music youre listening to. I not only respect that but get enjoyment out of your videos because its nice to watch a not so typical music react channel react to my favorite music and type of music lol. i subbed and hit that bell man, your content is mad good. Keep it up!!
This dude is such a freaking Legend. I was a producer and performer for many years and I can tell you I would give a pinky toe to have been a fly on the wall or at least seen a screenshot of the pro tool session for this. This dude is literally living my dream. Closest I got was a gig on a Cheesy iPhone game from 10 years ago.
Man, there isn't a single DOOM song I wouldn't recommend. They're all so amazing and it'd be great so hear your insight into them. My favorites are definitely "BFG Division", "Rip and Tear", "Cultist Base" (that one is made entirely with synthesizers and it's AWESOME), "Blood Swamps" (it's by Andrew Hulshult and it SLAPS!) among others. I could list entire soundtracks from both DOOM 2016 and DOOM: Eternal, they're all great and all of them are unique. Like "Rust Dust and Guts" drops are like jumpscares, you pretty much never know when the drop actually comes and it's always amazing when it does, and then "BFG 10k" from Eternal is short but super high energy, which is fitting for the segment.
Great reaction, dude! This song along with some others like BFG 10k, Rip And Tear, BFG Division, Hellwalker and Mastermind (this four are from Doom 2016 OST), the Super Gore Nest Cultist Base and Meat Hook was the BIGEST chunk of inspiration for me when I started doing my own electronic music in 2020) so I highly recomended for you to check this songs out, belive me, you won't be dissapointed) anyway, keep up the great work!)
Your explanations are fantastic and the way you sort of simplify it, is really appreciated. It's a amazing track and it is actually an incredible revelation that you are providing to those of us, who aren't schooled in music. That you explain, why exactly that I feel what I do and how I perceive the music and through that, the game itself, all at once. And it actually empowers it, the misc and the game as well. After I watch your video, the experience of music have improved to me, significantly (like that was possible somehow). Sorry for the long comment. Best regards!
Loved this reaction! I am a huge Mick Gordan fan and it was awesome to see you breakdown this legendary track. Hope you look into more of his Doom soundtracks!
Since we're on the Doom train. Since you liked this one, you definately have to give Doom Eternal - BFG Divison a listen. That, and this piece are my favorite ones.
I really appreciate all the break downs of rhythm and drumming you do. Since you are into those alot you would also enjoy " Rip and Tear"-Doom (2016). One of the best tracks from that game. You would also enjoy "The Super Gore Nest"-(koma game rip)reupload) from Doom Eternal. It's important you pick the correct version of songs for Doom Eternal as there was never an original OST released for Doom Eternal..a true war crime..but as a result there is alot of disparity in the mixes, order of the track, quality, etc. Doom 2016 has an OST so no hunting required for it's tracks best version. ...Also other great doom tracks to check-out..: Harbinger, Hell walker, metal hell, meat hook, bfg division, Vega Core, Blood Swamps, Reclaimed Earth, Immora, Nekravol,
Damn, this made me think you should react to the entire Undertale/Deltarune OST. Would be insane to hear all your knowledge while hearing those tunes. I kinda feel it would be a lot of work tho since the OST is kinda long so it may be better to pick certains tracks and not the entirety of the OST.
This song is a rollercoaster, the descending chord around 9:15 is pure genius, Mick could have done the whole song repeating that part over and over and it would have just been great but like this is pure perfection.
The best part about Mick Gordons "percussions" as you describe it (4:14) is literally just a sine wave. A sine wave and 4 parallel channels of different effect pedals, small practise amps, a tape-to-tape reel and various other interesting things All summed up on a mixer and compressed to, excuse my wording, hell He did a talk about it on GDC, and there's some rather interesting things even for non-audio engineers
There's a video on the GDC (Game Developers Conference) channel where Mick Gordon talks about how he composed the 2016 Doom soundtrack - It's really interesting if you have the time.
Man, you're just like me when I listen to music. I always am analyzing it in the back of my mind even if I'm not really that knowledgeable of music theory terms and stuff. I'm just a violinist lol. But seriously, I love how much youre pausing and talking and explaining things not everyone may notice. It's wonderful to know that all the little things musicians are putting in are heard by at least someone.
Every time I listen to this song, I couple it with "Sam's Base", because it's basically the first half of the song. If you ever want to get pumped, that's a good way to build to this!
I found out the chant at the end of the song, was performed by a choir of heavy metal singers. Apparently they did an open call for heavy metal singers and then recorded the part. So cool. Also, love your reactions/breakdowns dude, keep it up!
Loving your videos, man !! It brings me back to when I was in drumline and studying music. If you like mashups, Pluffaduff’s channel does wondrous ones, specifically, he mashed this track with a certain Soulja Boy song and it goes unfathomably hard !! They’ve also got a mashup included B.o.B. by OutKast that changed the song for me forever !! I’m wondering if it’ll have be same effect on you !!
As one of those people who enjoys this kind of music but isn't a musician myself I'd heard the term syncopation but never understood what it was. Very interesting tidbit, I'll have to keep an ear open for that going forward
Wow, I've listened to this song more times than I count but I guess but I'd never been able to hear that they're saying "Rip and tear!" (also a song from the game 😅) at the ending before. I thought it was just supposed to be a scary, unintelligible horde of demons marching after you. Great review!
OMG I was waiting for a new Doom track reaction for a while, no one did it recently. And I've basically watched every single reaction of doom tracks from the reactors 😂. And the best thing is that u are one of my fav music reactors cause I like the breakdowns!
Hey man, found you in the realm of JoJos, now we're here hahah So, I'm an arborist, I use chainsaws every day. The use of chainsaw in the soundtrack is nothing short of genius, accidental or not. At some points, I can hear the rpms of the engine used as synth. so, naturally Mick throttles up alot to mimic the action, using different sizes of engine for overall tone. I cannot express my level of concern when in Cultist base in game I entered an arena to the tune of a saw redlining, it really sets the overall ambience to a knife edge. I think you'd dig playing, if not just listening to more of the soundtrack. The game sounds are mixed in a way to fit into the music, as well. It will even change instrument sets when you swap weapons. Anyway, love the work, thanks!
The DOOM soundtrack and the band Dir En Grey is the only music I will listen to when cleaning my house. You need that aggressive energy when combating the dirt! The same goes for workouts. I swear my mind could lift a car with this in my ears xD My body maybe not.
I find it interesting that you always assume most of your viewers are already musicians. I have no idea but I have no clue about anything your saying but I find it interesting to listen to someone break down something in depth that they cleary understand and have a passion for.
Would love to see you breakdown the couple Valorant video game music videos! Riot kills it with their league of legends cinematics and music as well. :)
Interesante, estaría bueno que reaccionara también a la música de PayDay 2, tiene muy buena música y hace que mientras juegues no puedas parar de dejarte llevar por el ritmo
love these videos, have you considered doing sort of like a music for dummies video like I've heard you use words like syncopation, four on the floor, 6 something, have you thought about doing a video explaining stuff like that?

Would be insane to hear all your knowledge while hearing those tunes. I kinda feel it would be a lot of work tho since the OST is kinda long so it may be better to pick certains tracks and not the entirety of the OST.
Could you join the discord and help me out with links?
This song is a rollercoaster, the descending chord around 9:15 is pure genius, Mick could have done the whole song repeating that part over and over and it would have just been great but like this is pure perfection.
If you ever feel useless remember there is an option to mute the music in doom
Yes finally some DOOM!! I also recommend you to react to the mjolnir mix of the Halo Theme
The best part about Mick Gordons "percussions" as you describe it (4:14) is literally just a sine wave.
A sine wave and 4 parallel channels of different effect pedals, small practise amps, a tape-to-tape reel and various other interesting things
All summed up on a mixer and compressed to, excuse my wording, hell
He did a talk about it on GDC, and there's some rather interesting things even for non-audio engineers
When the devil comes with his demons someone needs to blast this song on all the loud speakers around the world to get us all pump up to slay
There's a video on the GDC (Game Developers Conference) channel where Mick Gordon talks about how he composed the 2016 Doom soundtrack - It's really interesting if you have the time.
Man, you're just like me when I listen to music. I always am analyzing it in the back of my mind even if I'm not really that knowledgeable of music theory terms and stuff. I'm just a violinist lol. But seriously, I love how much youre pausing and talking and explaining things not everyone may notice. It's wonderful to know that all the little things musicians are putting in are heard by at least someone.
There is a gamescon walk by Mick about he made the music including a vfx plugin to integrate a chainsaw into a guitar riff.
You should definitely listen to Metal Hell and Meathook, also from Doom Eternal and composed by Mick
this just makes me appreciate his music so much more!
Every time I listen to this song, I couple it with "Sam's Base", because it's basically the first half of the song. If you ever want to get pumped, that's a good way to build to this!
I found out the chant at the end of the song, was performed by a choir of heavy metal singers. Apparently they did an open call for heavy metal singers and then recorded the part. So cool. Also, love your reactions/breakdowns dude, keep it up!
Mick Gordon is on another level.
that "keyboard" effect was Mick Gordon in the studio with a rusty chainsaw! Check it out! SErisouly, Mick Gordon is a f%$king genius!
FINALLY i found a guy that LISTENS to the song
Thank you.
Loving your videos, man !! It brings me back to when I was in drumline and studying music. If you like mashups, Pluffaduff’s channel does wondrous ones, specifically, he mashed this track with a certain Soulja Boy song and it goes unfathomably hard !! They’ve also got a mashup included B.o.B. by OutKast that changed the song for me forever !! I’m wondering if it’ll have be same effect on you !!
Welcome in fellow drumline player
As one of those people who enjoys this kind of music but isn't a musician myself I'd heard the term syncopation but never understood what it was. Very interesting tidbit, I'll have to keep an ear open for that going forward
Wow, I've listened to this song more times than I count but I guess but I'd never been able to hear that they're saying "Rip and tear!" (also a song from the game 😅) at the ending before. I thought it was just supposed to be a scary, unintelligible horde of demons marching after you. Great review!
OMG I was waiting for a new Doom track reaction for a while, no one did it recently. And I've basically watched every single reaction of doom tracks from the reactors 😂. And the best thing is that u are one of my fav music reactors cause I like the breakdowns!
I wish more people reacting to stuff were as analytical as you :D
"WHY does it thrash?" exactly!
Just dropped a new song and also dropping a music video this Sunday ! 💙🙏🏾thank y’all
Great vid man. Truely love the modern doom music. If you want another great doom theme you should check out BFG devision
This song is relentless.. always building to something
You might wanna check out and react to Bury The Light - Vergil's Theme. Absolute masterpiece.
Glad I found your channel through chainsaw man love your style of breaking down the music
Hey man, found you in the realm of JoJos, now we're here hahah
So, I'm an arborist, I use chainsaws every day.
The use of chainsaw in the soundtrack is nothing short of genius, accidental or not. At some points, I can hear the rpms of the engine used as synth.
so, naturally Mick throttles up alot to mimic the action, using different sizes of engine for overall tone. I cannot express my level of concern when in Cultist base in game I entered an arena to the tune of a saw redlining, it really sets the overall ambience to a knife edge. I think you'd dig playing, if not just listening to more of the soundtrack. The game sounds are mixed in a way to fit into the music, as well. It will even change instrument sets when you swap weapons.
Anyway, love the work, thanks!
Post 2 of asking Tony. You should really consider reacting to the "Sing my Pleasure" both regular and Grace version!!!
Another breakdown I watched talked about the dotted notes contributing to synchropation
You gotta listen Meathook track from Mick, YOU GOTTA, the energy delivery is CRAZY.
He was specifically asked to not use a guitar, so he used the next best thing.
If music can give you nightmeres this, is the song that does it
The DOOM soundtrack and the band Dir En Grey is the only music I will listen to when cleaning my house. You need that aggressive energy when combating the dirt! The same goes for workouts. I swear my mind could lift a car with this in my ears xD My body maybe not.
😅😅🤘🤘
alot of the songs in the doom eternal sound track use powertools like chainsaws put through a synth
6:16 if i'm not mistaken, i think that's the part where he said he used a lawnmower for the sound
Love the video such good descriptions of musical theory, incidentally you look like a slightly older Summit xD
You need to react to Bury the Light! You gonna love it
Doom Eternal is an album that comes with a game
I love this one, i think you're going to like Shadow Warrior 2 main theme
I find it interesting that you always assume most of your viewers are already musicians. I have no idea but I have no clue about anything your saying but I find it interesting to listen to someone break down something in depth that they cleary understand and have a passion for.
RUN!! by takeshi ueda. it's the sabikui bisko theme (but not the opening. it's strange. it just pops up sometimes, but it kicks a whole lot of ass)
you HAVE to react to more of the DOOM 2016 soundtracks and DOOM eternal. I recommend the super gore best and rip and tear!!!
Ok now Meathook , Super gore nest and metal hell
Sick react! Gotta react to BFG Division also by Mick Gordon
Please react to Bury the Light from the Devil May Cry 5 soundtrack!
Same wish!
A reaction for bury the light would be cool(DMC 5)
I Recommend listening to Ludwig the accursed & the holy blade from Bloodborne, love your analysis.
His music from katana zero, have you gave them a listen?
Would love to see you breakdown the couple Valorant video game music videos! Riot kills it with their league of legends cinematics and music as well. :)
You should listen to Cultist Base, another banger from Mick
You should listen to super gore nest, one of my favorites
This music makes me kill demons then realise my PC isn’t booted up yet.
Interesante, estaría bueno que reaccionara también a la música de PayDay 2, tiene muy buena música y hace que mientras juegues no puedas parar de dejarte llevar por el ritmo
Listen Urdak / Angelic Theme from DOOM Eternal, that shit is scary.
Try the old version of this song it has a cool build up
this is the type of music I listen to when playing chess
Listen to the Demon Vocal Cover of Alex Terrible 😀
love these videos, have you considered doing sort of like a music for dummies video like I've heard you use words like syncopation, four on the floor, 6 something, have you thought about doing a video explaining stuff like that?
