@@CaptCondor I think Zimmer has a few scores that are really really good, like Interstellar or Gladiator for example. On the hand, thopugh, you could say he has singlehandedly ruined the current generation of film music. There are so many composers that copy his style, that most mainstream movies are filled with meaningless pompus and "epic" music. Zimmer is good, but I think others like Alexandre Desplat for example are better.
@@7991612 I wouldn't call him the ruiner of film music, that's something wher a lot of other people were and are involved. The guy just does what he likes doing the way he likes doing it. I think the people who just copy him because they know his style sells are more guilty of making film music sound all the same.
That's ironic because lately a lot of his music has been ghostwritten by different other people, but with just his name in the credits to garner viewers and attention
Eh, in my experience, people that are truly talented are the most down earth humble people. They know the struggle. It’s the people that are wanna be’s that usually have bad attitudes and pompous.
Hans Zimmer has literally changed the world with his musical vision, and the craziest thing is that even after acknowledging that fact he still maintains this beguiling humility. What a legend. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this musical genius.
You can easily see that he cares and he worries about his projects and he understands what he makes is what he believes to be the best. I love this guy! I don't believe in God but God bless him , just in case he does!
I got goosebumps when he said he wrote Lion King's score as a requiem for his dad. The pure emotion in the film's soundtrack really makes it stand out.
Saw his live shows twice. He’s so down to earth and humble. He never once spoke of his accolades. He constantly praised his crew. Saying how amazing they were and how he couldn’t have done it without them.
I want to thank Vanity Fair for giving this man the spotlight because he is my favorite composer, every movie soundtrack I’ve heard and deeply enjoyed has been composed by Hans Zimmer
Try out some Rupert Gregson-Williams, John Powell, John Williams, and James Newton Howard. Hans is amazing but he wouldn’t want you to limit yourself to just his music.
I've watched it guys. Can't believe I've not seen this movie before, kept avoiding it coz I find space Odyssey movies boring. But this was just bloody awwesomeeeeeeeeee
Gladiator is the greatest story written movie of all time, interstellar is the greatest space travel movie of all time and zimmers music for the both cemented it all together.
My favorite score he ever created was for Interstellar, it played such a big role in this movie. The way he let his music tell the story, with time ticking by, emotions flowing in the tunes and the swelling whenever there’s a huge reveal, I absolutely love that. And the combination of instruments he used is just so creative and amazing. I think the score for that movie is so underrated and should definitely get more recognition, because they made that movie what it is and the soundtrack is one of the biggest reasons I get back to Interstellar every time I open Netflix. The story was a masterpiece and it’s value was doubled by the beautiful score.
100%. I remember being absolutely amazed by Cornfield Chase in the cinema. I never really pay attention to music in a film but I was just blown away. It was magical.
@@sailor.saturnthey grew the corn just for the movie, 2 big fields of something like 700+ acres, it was only knee high getting close to production then shot up at the last minute, they sold it for a profit when they were done 😁
His voice is almost as much of a masterpiece as his music. His accent is very nearly equal parts German and Southern English, and so fascinating to listen to.
This man’s only formal music training was two weeks of piano lessons. He was thrown out of eight schools. He is a self-taught musician and film score composer. That should tell you how talented he is.
So basically his career was: Director: "I really, really want you for this movie." Hans: "That genre's dumb tho." Director: "Not for long." Hans: "K" [creates genre-defining masterpiece]
@@BlackEagle352Yeah, unfortunately the marketing people always have to use the bigger name because it generates more attention, it's not his fault, he comes across rather humble.

Everyone’s making jokes about how musically talented he is, let’s talk about how good his MEMORY is. He remembered he got a call at 9 am for a movie ~20 years ago, what day he got a call for a movie ~15 years ago; like, bravo
You can hear the pirates theme developed over his previous films. Watch the opening battle sequence in Gladiator and you will hear things incredibly familiar
The song "time" is create by Hans Zimmer. This is really a artistic song in a very high level. This song doesn't like earth culture, that is like Alien culture?
This man is such a legend, I love how his skepticism gets him going and how he said: "I have a 9 to 5 job. I start at 9 in the evening and finish at 5 in the morning."
When I first heard Time by Hans Zimmer I would borrow my dads tablet and put 10hour version of the song on and slept to it for years as a child. Im 23 now and out of the military, and I’ve been listening to it on repeat when I go to bed now that Ive been in college. More and more this songs grows to fulfill the ultimatums of movement for change in my life.
@Jonny E when the director showed up in the early morning & claimed he is a director. Hans replied with slight disdain that his mother is also a director. Sort of saying i don't believe you, go away, i need to sleep. I mean it’s not funny like you would laugh out loud but defo humorous imo
Jonny E kind of like responding to something unbelievable with “yeah and I’m the King of England” or something similar, he was claiming that his mother was a director as much as this guy apparently was, which she isn’t
Hans Zimmer: writes for "The Lion King" because he wanted to show of for his daughter the world: thanking the universe for the existence of this little girl
I love how literally everyone involved in Pirates of the Caribbean started out like "oh it's just some pirate movie" and then ends up like "yeah I was wrong"
One of the best movies I’ve seen and the music DEFINITELY plays into it. I recently remembered I could’ve seen Hans Zimmer‘s Music being played live in Cologne some time ago and I’m sad I didn’t know about that back then.
The same thing with the music score he makes for games. Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 made the game so much more intense and you got the feel of being in a role af a great story!
My favorite Hans Zimmer moment is him geeking out about Giacchino's score for Up on a CNN segment. He's not just an amazing composer, but humble and encouraging of others as well.
The deeply personal, human creative process, incapsulated in your comments. Self-doubt and ones inner thoughts are both the harshest and loudest critic. ‘We can all sing, it’s what the rest of the world thinks that matters ultimately though.’ By; me ;)
It's still a travesty that Hans didn't win best score for Interstellar. That score was 50% of the movie. Without Zimmer I don't know if it even conveys the message properly or the same way.
It is a travesty. Such a powerful score. Visceral and beautiful. I listened to just the score months on cd. Of course the picture is a modern masterpiece.
I think the award is meant to honor the score that best served the film and I think that HZ's music is very selfish and it's like he's telling the story his own way. Personally I think the movie and music are masterpieces but they feel like two great separate masterpieces. I don't know if that makes sense, anyway that score could probably bring an MMA fighter to tears so they could have given him the award anyway
'it's like he's telling the story his own way" That's his job!!! . He wasn't given the script for the film . He was only given a brief outline of the man and daughter story. It served the film and affected millions.
Joe Urban Spielberg is a child at heart and he puts too many children in his movies but his visual story telling is amazing. Combined with John Williams’s music and it’s the very best of movie experience.
“Little did I know, because I’m ignorant...” what an amazing man. No matter how absolutely bloody talented this man is he still acknowledges that he does not know everything and is unaware of so much.
@@King-ci8sk ahaha believe me im very critical when it comes to films, and ive watched a lot. Interstellar is just my favourite. But I am a bit biased when it comes to sci-fi films i have to admit, as sci-fi is my favourite genre
All of his scores are literally to most all of my favorite films. Makes me think what did I like about those films? How much of my like of films was Zimmer's scoring?! Also, those horns in Inception. Epic!
Exactly!!! Me too. Even as a kid when I heard lion king and pirates of the Caribbean I was drawn to the music and I’m 27 now and still the movies that make an emotional impact are still the movies that Hans zimmer worked on. Currently Dune is my new obsession and of course….Hans zimmer!!
Him writing the piece for Lion King so "dad can show off" to his daughter is surprisingly the sweetest dad thing ever. Edit: Simba loses his dad, Hans loses his dad. Now we all understand why Mufasa's death scene was so profound and moving. The piece directly reflects Hans' pure emotions. Man, am I glad I clicked on the video.
Sameeee this is my favorite piece ever and it has been for such a long time. I just can't retain my tears every time I listen to it now we all know why it is so magical, pure and profound
@MyboiJAEGER I can imagine. You often think that they must know when "My heart will go on" is all done, bounced out and they listen to it for the first time in the studio.
Phillip Glass definitely inspired the main organ theme with Koyaanisqatsi however there is much more to the entire Interstellar suite. Theres soaring angelic violin sections and quiet piano riffs. All of the main melodies are so iconic too, like they're classics that have existed for decades. Its his most complete and fully realised score imo.
That fact he never got to talk about The Prince of Egypt is by far one of the greatest mistakes here. The music and score has gotta be one of my favourite soundtracks of his and possibly of all time
I couldn't agree more. The music is so moving and beautiful. I cry everytime I watch and listen to Deliver Us. But really, all the songs and the entire soundtrack is brilliant.
Yeap, both these men have wrote SO MANY legendary soundtracks for SO many movies that their music will be heard and remembered by MILLIONS of people for GENERATIONS to come! Honestly I wish I could leave just lasting impact to this world, but these two men are completely on league of their own.
Guys, the dude has like over 200 composer credits on IMDb and a lot of his movies are legendary in themselves. If Vanity Fair were to include all of them, he would never leave. lol
My favorite composer. Legendary music Gladiator, Lion King, intersteller, the dark knight and latest man of steel. Honestly when i heard man of steel music i felt like Hans Zimmer went god mode or something.
CodyTheDoggo Chris Nolan movies r hella overrated. Anyone with a degree of knowledge of cinema knows there r countless films better than his movies. Only basic people say « Dark Knight, Interstellar, Inception » are among the best movies ever. Hans Zimmer on the other hand, his soundtracks all sound the same. His stuff is all recycled

That is a truly objective and passionate man when it comes to his craft 👌 Brilliance personified.
"I'm still hunting down the great tune that I've never written" - Hans Zimmer.
This one sentence will inspire thousands of people like you.
If you ever heard a movie score and it took your breath away, it was probably Hans Zimmer.
fulloflife97 or John Williams
Ikr
Jerry Goldsmith
Or James Horner
Or John Williams
I wanna hear him say “Mr. Potter...”
😂 Pottah
... oh yeah she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin
Sounds like snape
Of course he is German and learned English in London so he has a slight British German accent
Hahahahaha
we are so lucky to be in the same era as Hans Zimmer. This man is a Beethoven of our time.
Everyone’s making jokes about how musically talented he is, let’s talk about how good his MEMORY is. He remembered he got a call at 9 am for a movie ~20 years ago, what day he got a call for a movie ~15 years ago; like, bravo
Exactly! He knows exactly when he sat down to write down the pirates of the Caribbean theme (7:30 pm)
Drew Saluk how is that even possible?
@@learnlaw1363 coz ppl nowadays can't remember what happened 15 or 20 MINS ago
I didnt even remember what i had for lunch yesterday
Not to mention the minor details, the accents and colour of the tone, sometimes those are intertwining.
This man wrote the Pirates of the Carribean theme and he still thinks he hasn't found his great song yet. You're pretty humble for a God, Mr. Zimmer.
I LOVE THIS COMMENT
He's dah man but..."a god", though...?
You can hear the pirates theme developed over his previous films. Watch the opening battle sequence in Gladiator and you will hear things incredibly familiar
Klaus Badelt did music for Pirates.
@@votdfak Not all of it
Why does he sound like Scar and professor Snape at the same time?
Yeah
*Iconic*
And Kylo Ren
Tung.T To me, he sounds more like Iskall85
BRUH that's pretty spot on
I think Time is his greatest track of all time, it still gives me chills every time I hear it!
100% Agreed!
Hans Zimmer is my hero
The song "time" is create by Hans Zimmer.
This is really a artistic song in a very high level.
This song doesn't like earth culture,
that is like Alien culture?
wut? xD
Abraham Mast me too
Sad to hear that your hero is a hypocrite and a liar.
Abraham Mast do you know what a hero is? What type of courage is Hans Zimmer known for. I’m unaware.
"I wrote a requiem for my dad" 3:11
That explains why it never fails to make me cry
Dragon Curve Enthusiast crazy how he didn’t even want to do it at first !!
same
Dragon Curve Enthusiast yeah, I was watching this casually and suddenly that part really hit me in the feels :D
And I didn't realize til now that Hans Zimmerman has been adding music to my life since I was 6!
I scrolled down to see if someone else needed to quote this.....
This man is such a legend, I love how his skepticism gets him going and how he said:
"I have a 9 to 5 job. I start at 9 in the evening and finish at 5 in the morning."
Inception is one of my favorite movies ever. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for it is stunning!
me too
When I first heard Time by Hans Zimmer I would borrow my dads tablet and put 10hour version of the song on and slept to it for years as a child. Im 23 now and out of the military, and I’ve been listening to it on repeat when I go to bed now that Ive been in college. More and more this songs grows to fulfill the ultimatums of movement for change in my life.
I *literally* cried when I heard "Time" for the first time, he is such an amazing composer.
The end gives me chills everytime, just before the song/movie ends..
SAME
Everyone says that
My all time favorite piece of music
Seriously though who doesn't
"I'm a director."
"Yeah, you and my mother both."
Yeah he's a legend alright
@Jonny E you mean you didn't get the quote? Or do you mean you didn't get that it's a quote?
@Jonny E Mothers like to tell their children what to do. Sort of what directors do
@Jonny E when the director showed up in the early morning & claimed he is a director. Hans replied with slight disdain that his mother is also a director. Sort of saying i don't believe you, go away, i need to sleep. I mean it’s not funny like you would laugh out loud but defo humorous imo
Jonny E kind of like responding to something unbelievable with “yeah and I’m the King of England” or something similar, he was claiming that his mother was a director as much as this guy apparently was, which she isn’t
if the joke has to be explained it looses humor
For Lion King: "Dad wants to show off and that is why I took the job" 😂😂😂
Also to create a piece of music in memory of his father 😭. I'm a big Zimmer fan and never knew that. Him mentioning it made me tear up.
such a boss move
Lol He won an Oscar for the lion king. Though the Oscar doesn't deserve him. What an absolute legend. He should have won Oscar for Interstellar too.
Dads Pride
@@hotsauce69247 "It became a requirem for my dad" I felt that :(
The docking scene in interstellar accompanied by that score still blows me away
This man is either the most humble person on the planet or he simply does not know how legendary he is
He probably left with a vanity fair score in his mind.
He isn't aware😅...you can see he's still itching to give us the best of his masterpiece...
Hans Zimmer: writes for "The Lion King" because he wanted to show of for his daughter
the world: thanking the universe for the existence of this little girl
"still hunting down the great tune i've never written"
LMAO ok mate
A B just imagine when he does finds his great tune in his prospective
@@dalyaya2146 oh man I cannot wait
The fact that he hasn’t even found his greatest yet is insane cause he has so many legendary works
He will never find it.
🤣😂 ikr
I don't know if this man realizes how genius he is and how much impact he has made on scoring.
HE DOESN'T and it frustrates me to death - he keeps self depricating himself every chance he gets - HOW
@@SuperFilmregisseur He's trying to look humble.
"I wrote a requiem for my dad" such a frickkin powerfull sentence !
Next time I watch the movie, I’m going to feel it that much more in the death scene.
That sentence gave me so much insight into how and why the Lion King soundtracks hits as hard as it does.
@@beverleyeliane 💯 agree!
I love how literally everyone involved in Pirates of the Caribbean started out like "oh it's just some pirate movie" and then ends up like "yeah I was wrong"
Exactly
I was like WTF is this ?
How do people even like this
Then when Jack starts doing his tricks the tables turned
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
interstellar music made the movie. without such a great tune it would never have been so amazingly touching
I absolutely agree
One of the best movies I’ve seen and the music DEFINITELY plays into it. I recently remembered I could’ve seen Hans Zimmer‘s Music being played live in Cologne some time ago and I’m sad I didn’t know about that back then.
The music helps set the tone so beautiful. The score makes it so you feel exactly what your supposed to
my favorite movie and the music is possibly better than the story itself.
The same thing with the music score he makes for games. Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 made the game so much more intense and you got the feel of being in a role af a great story!
My favorite Hans Zimmer moment is him geeking out about Giacchino's score for Up on a CNN segment. He's not just an amazing composer, but humble and encouraging of others as well.
Just one second of interstellar soundtrack is enough to give me shivers.
Cyberaser Haven’t even seen it but just these clips instantly gave me shivers too
Lucas Snowball_Cathug WTF Bro - in my Opinion best Movie ever made. Best Soundtrack ever made
i teared up a bit on mufasa's death scene
Even his voice is freaking epic.
Fr
All his stories are basically
"Here's a weird idea"
"That's a terrible idea"
"No it's not"
"Oh your right that's a great idea"
bEtchaos7 came here looking for this comment
hes a very humble guy
The deeply personal, human creative process, incapsulated in your comments. Self-doubt and ones inner thoughts are both the harshest and loudest critic.
‘We can all sing, it’s what the rest of the world thinks that matters ultimately though.’
By; me ;)
What a career this man has... He's made some of the most iconic soundtracks for some of the most iconic movies
interstellar really gave you a sense of how big the universe is thru the music, so powerful
It's still a travesty that Hans didn't win best score for Interstellar. That score was 50% of the movie. Without Zimmer I don't know if it even conveys the message properly or the same way.
it does not. I watch the movie for the music only.
It is a travesty. Such a powerful score. Visceral and beautiful. I listened to just the score months on cd. Of course the picture is a modern masterpiece.
I think the award is meant to honor the score that best served the film and I think that HZ's music is very selfish and it's like he's telling the story his own way. Personally I think the movie and music are masterpieces but they feel like two great separate masterpieces. I don't know if that makes sense, anyway that score could probably bring an MMA fighter to tears so they could have given him the award anyway
'it's like he's telling the story his own way" That's his job!!! . He wasn't given the script for the film . He was only given a brief outline of the man and daughter story. It served the film and affected millions.
Spencer Kelly Thank you! Alexandra Desplat was good but Hans Zimmer was way better!
And yet, he didn't mention Hanibal, Man of steel, The Last Samurai, Kung Fu Panda, Black Hawk Down or the Shelock Holmes movies
or The Prince of Egypt
The Last Samurai soundtrack is so good
The Holiday too. It's my favorite.
Dunkirk
The Man of Steel is a masterpiece
This is a man that generations after us will speak about.
In 200 years they will remember Hans Zimmer like we now remember Mozart and Beethoven
You spelled John Williams wrong
@@ArthurKnight1899 Both insane. Same goes for Ennio Morricone.
AC sucks tho.
@@ArthurKnight1899 oh yes John Williams too. Also Howard Shore, the composer of Lord of the Rings trilogy
No one's going to remember you though.
nop
Everyone knows “interstellar” soundtrack is his masterpiece
Gladiator
lobes117 the Inception soundtrack is phenomenal. Time is my favorite Hans Zimmer piece
I think it’s man of steel
Davy jones theme is probably my favourite one
Crimson Tide...specifically Roll Tide before the hymn. Incredible!
"And then I met this other genius, Christopher Nolan, and we became the greatest duo in cinematic history."
Spielberg and John Williams?
Michael Khodakovskiy Spielberg makes simplistic storylines..
@@AlchemicalForge91
Spielberg is great, but I like Nolan, Kurbick, and Denis V. better.
John Williams is amazing though.
Joe Urban Spielberg is a child at heart and he puts too many children in his movies but his visual story telling is amazing. Combined with John Williams’s music and it’s the very best of movie experience.
Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro
Hans Zimmer is a composer thinking as a director. The best filmcomposer of all time! 100%
Movie director: So this movie is about a man-
Zimmer: I can't possibly imagine how I'd write anything to it
Imagine making the interstellar theme and still say "I'm still looking for the great music piece I've never written"
“Little did I know, because I’m ignorant...” what an amazing man. No matter how absolutely bloody talented this man is he still acknowledges that he does not know everything and is unaware of so much.
His humility makes me love him even more. He's a genius!
True geniouses are aware of their ignorance 😌
His humility and acknowledgement of his limits is what makes this man truly great. He's a living legend indeed.
The Interstellar score was just other worldly... honestly the best film I've ever seen
SO underrated. It was absolutely beautiful and haunting. The whole movie. Glad I'm not alone appreciating it
Watch more films
I cant imagine a better movie than interstellar.
@@King-ci8sk learn how to appreciate the story, and try to understand it. Its honestly the most complex story I've ever seen in a movie
@@King-ci8sk ahaha believe me im very critical when it comes to films, and ive watched a lot. Interstellar is just my favourite. But I am a bit biased when it comes to sci-fi films i have to admit, as sci-fi is my favourite genre
All of his scores are literally to most all of my favorite films. Makes me think what did I like about those films? How much of my like of films was Zimmer's scoring?! Also, those horns in Inception. Epic!
Exactly!!! Me too. Even as a kid when I heard lion king and pirates of the Caribbean I was drawn to the music and I’m 27 now and still the movies that make an emotional impact are still the movies that Hans zimmer worked on. Currently Dune is my new obsession and of course….Hans zimmer!!
The fact that the Lion King Soundtrack is a Requiem for his dad makes that movie hit even harder
His voice itself sounds like it's composed
ikr
Hahahaha.
His voice has bass and then also a higher pitched melody
His voice sounds like a toad to me .
@@saysomething6271 me imaging loony toons another froggy evening.
Him writing the piece for Lion King so "dad can show off" to his daughter is surprisingly the sweetest dad thing ever.
Edit: Simba loses his dad, Hans loses his dad. Now we all understand why Mufasa's death scene was so profound and moving. The piece directly reflects Hans' pure emotions. Man, am I glad I clicked on the video.
"I wrote a requiem for my dad"... unreal.
Sameeee this is my favorite piece ever and it has been for such a long time. I just can't retain my tears every time I listen to it now we all know why it is so magical, pure and profound
In one of the interviews he gets quite emotional when speaking about the lion king and remembering his dad. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
i almost cried... this dude produced all of my fav movies wtf
Hans: Speaking casually about how a theme came up by coincidence and he wasn't sure if it was good.
Me: Goosepumps on my balls on every score.
Me either. And I'm a woman
HAHAHAHA
@MyboiJAEGER I can imagine. You often think that they must know when "My heart will go on" is all done, bounced out and they listen to it for the first time in the studio.
Its a common theme with those who become great. They keep pushing of fear or doubt. Success then being relief more than anything.
Interstellar is his best and one of the finest film scores ever composed.
roloug95 also my favorite Nolan film
My favourite Nolan film too.
Thanks to Philip glass :)
Phillip Glass definitely inspired the main organ theme with Koyaanisqatsi however there is much more to the entire Interstellar suite. Theres soaring angelic violin sections and quiet piano riffs. All of the main melodies are so iconic too, like they're classics that have existed for decades. Its his most complete and fully realised score imo.
Interstellar is godlike
That fact he never got to talk about The Prince of Egypt is by far one of the greatest mistakes here. The music and score has gotta be one of my favourite soundtracks of his and possibly of all time
I couldn't agree more. The music is so moving and beautiful. I cry everytime I watch and listen to Deliver Us. But really, all the songs and the entire soundtrack is brilliant.
THANK YOU!
I know right!!!!
Finally someone said it!
I had NO idea he wrote the prince of Egypt soundtrack...it all makes sense now.
John Williams and Hans Zimmer legacies will live on forever!!!
Yeap, both these men have wrote SO MANY legendary soundtracks for SO many movies that their music will be heard and remembered by MILLIONS of people for GENERATIONS to come! Honestly I wish I could leave just lasting impact to this world, but these two men are completely on league of their own.
My thoughts exactly
Guys, the dude has like over 200 composer credits on IMDb and a lot of his movies are legendary in themselves. If Vanity Fair were to include all of them, he would never leave. lol
The dude has like 200 composers working for him in his sweatshop studio, Remote Control Productions.
I mean... I'd be okay with that, if they would let him livestream the breaks he'd take to make new music...
@@ErebosGR "sweatshop studio"
@@brandonkey181 If you take into account the working hours and output quotas his composers have to maintain, it functions very much like a sweatshop.
@@ErebosGR 1. Its voluntary 2. They're paid handsomely.
My favorite composer. Legendary music Gladiator, Lion King, intersteller, the dark knight and latest man of steel. Honestly when i heard man of steel music i felt like Hans Zimmer went god mode or something.
interstellar was actually after Man of Steel, but I agree with you completely... MOS soundtrack is SO powerful
How about Wonder woman theme?
Inception was next level
Definitely,
Interstellar you uncultured swine.
Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan made the best masterpieces.
Thomas Newton?
Both overrated
@@skipbayless4375 ok bra
@@skipbayless4375 overrated how
CodyTheDoggo Chris Nolan movies r hella overrated. Anyone with a degree of knowledge of cinema knows there r countless films better than his movies. Only basic people say « Dark Knight, Interstellar, Inception » are among the best movies ever. Hans Zimmer on the other hand, his soundtracks all sound the same. His stuff is all recycled
Gladirator score will never fail to bring tears to my eyes.Just...perfection
