Hey everybody! I'm terrible at noticing YT notifications, so sorry for not replying to many comments or anything. I wanted to come in and hopefully let you all know that Bit Brigade did a new show last month at MAGFest where they played THREE GAMES. And two of them were new! I'll refrain from saying what they are in case any of you weren't aware of this and want to be surprised. It's was a killer show! Unfortunately, it only has a little over 800 views. I figure since this video has over 400k at this point (which is unreal), hopefully I could point some of you over toward the MAGFest channel because it seems to get very little attention.
Here's a link to the Bit Brigade set, complete with remastered board audio and everything! Sorry you may not see the game 100% of the time, we've made sure this will be addressed in the future where we'll have a special overlay or something setup for it, not unlike what we here.

My team (Down in Front) and I are part of a much larger official media team for MAGFest, so /most/ of the main stage concerts on that channel were filmed by us and those we work with. There's soooo many concerts on that channel now, you're bound to discover a lot of great music and stage performances (emphasis here on The Protomen and URIZEN), so please go check it out and give it a sub! All of our MAG content will be over there from now on, while any VGM we film outside of MAG will be on our DiF page, linked in the description above.
Thank you all for the subs too, it makes me regret uploading this to my personal channel and not making one for our team ahead of time. :P
ColdBrew697 dude. I'm blaring dream theater wondering why that music connects on such a deep level. rewind 20 some years ago and I'm a small kid getting pumped up by some the best metal riffs ever made. no fucking wonder I'm a metalhead. I...can't...get...enough. good job a thousand times over dude. amazing
go go wood man!!!! i love you
You guys are awesome. Enjoyed the whole vid, mad skills. And the guy playing the game had an awesome run, too. :))
I just wanna say wow
Fantastic job. So tight. Well done. Epic shit.
Never ever remove this masterpiece from the internet please!
I know. I'm still looking for the studio recordings of this game bit brigade had on a channel but I can't find it anymore.
That bassist is an underrated beast.
cooliovasquez, don't be bassist...
Totally agree! Bass lines sound great here! Underrated!!!
Humpty thumpty. Marvelous
he SHREDS during bubble man dude
...said the bassist.
That drummer is the real hero.
Many such cases
Hardest working man in show business
Saw the live last year for castlevania/mega man 2.
This year its legend of zelda/ducktales. The drummer fucking tore it down with these mf please see live its way more amazing.
The drummer and guitar player are/where also in a band called Cinemechanica that fucking rip.
Totalmente de acuerdo, queridisimo amigo
The guy playing the game must have the most awesome MegaMan expeirence ever. A whole fucking band playing while you have to not die through each stage... damn bro so intense... so jelly
I was thinking the same, i really want to know what it feels
I was wondering what they'd do if he messed up and died. I guess just restart the song, no big deal.
I wonder if the guy who originally composed the music for mega man games back then realized how epic his shit was..
It was multiple different people throughout the games. I forget the name but a girl did mm2s ost
@@SleepyReapy32 MM2 was composed by a man, Takashi Tateishi (credited as Ogeretsu Kun), with Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae (credited as Manami Ietel) co-composing a minor part of the melody for Air Man's stage. -from wiki (and also the credits on my OST files)
@@darsure3006 that's what it was. The Air Man part. Thanks.
i was thinking the same thing, hope they see this
Thats so funny to think about the fact that these osts were done in their free time
that bassist is rocking this shit and the camera is just like "whats a bass"
I agree! Reminds me of John Paul Jones.. never got much camera attention , but whoa , amazing work!
Goddamnit I know right, I recently started watching Davie504 and really listening for good bass and damn... fuckin sidelined
i'm betting the guitarist's girlfriend filmed this lol
yeah especially bubble man? bass should be front & center on that one! 😂
Yeah, it focuses on the rhythm guitarist the whole time lol
Coming back to this video after almost a decade. Nostalgia twice over.
Hope this guys are still jamming together.
Mate, they play MAGFest basically every year and there's plenty of their shows with various games on the MAGFest channel. Absolutely do check them out, you can follow them through the years and see they're grayer, some of them are rounder, but they still fucking rock it.
That bassist is a beast.
Agreed. The triplets. Keeping INCREDIBLE time. The sixteenth notes, the man is a bassists bassist.
Back in the 80's, do you think those Japanese realised that they were writing some really fine Iron Maiden - riffs?
Ogeretsu Kun absolutely knew what he was doing. He was a big metal fan and the influence is obvious.
All of these 80's composers wrote their music on the same instruments, then the devs put in the beeps and bloops. This is totally metal and the composers knew it. Same thing with CastleVania, etc.
There's a reason he's called Rockman in Japan and other characters in the series are named with musical themes. It was all about the music.
Videogames and heavy metal, perfect combination
Well, Takashi Tateishi was tasked to write *cool* music for the soundtrack of Mega Man 2. Only Crash Man's stage music was the exception for being cheerful.
Reason number 506 to build a time machine:
watching this live
***** what are the other 505
josh driediger ill come back with the list in about 20 years
josh driediger One of them is to see me create holographic characters of all the megaman series.
(SF and BN included)
Lugia :3 if you do that, i will love you forever.
***** Another reason is to buy all the retro consoles at launch.
Holy shit, that drummer...
Rick Taylor right around 12:00 he totally goes into beast mode!!!!
That fella is clearly working up a sweat which is especially noticeable towards the end. Damn, I have to commend his endurance.
He looks a bit like John Bonham, no wonder he's good.
Hardest working man in a band that plays megaman
Actually he’s kinda shitty....
Speed running a game is one thing, but doing so with a band playing the soundtrack live as you do, while in front of hundreds, if not thousands, of people? That must be one hell of a nervous rush.
Not to mention at several points he delayed so the song could finish. Always a privilege to see good Mega Man 2 play.
I thought this whole show was amazing until it clicked that there was someone in the background actually playing the game, AND the band was playing in sync with the game... then I was floored
Yeah this is an amazing feat by everyone on stage. Fans should definitely save this video to their favorites.
This is pure Zen!
These kids have flawlessly beaten the game in question more times than politicians lie. They can do it flawlessly in their sleep.

Thank you, you truly are a Mega man fan! Huh, that rimes too!
Derek Lim 39:20 - Wily Machine (Mega Man 4)
Derek Lim Thanks!!!
Derek Lim Thank you. You're a real fuckin mench.
Midnite ゾロア you mean Wily Capsule right?
Message from Dr. Light.
YOU GUYS ROCK!
in case anyone is still reading.
back in the days of the nes, i was playing megaman 2.
i dont remember the order in which i was fighting the bosses, but i do remember i had beaten crash man before i went for quick man.
i accidentally fired a crash bomb in the opposite direction. and it attached to the wall as it normally does.
quickman jumped over me, straight into the bomb, he caught ALL the explosions and died.
the luckiest accident in my gaming career.
Bananas how we still remember moments like that huh. Haha
@@Tiger74147
it was an extremely shocking moment. i wish i could say i planned it, but it was completely accidental.
How awesome is it that music from a game my friends and I were blown away by when it first came out is still going strong thanks to a dedicated community 30+ years later?
As a 46 year old who grew up with this, hats off to the band and everyone else in the community. It’s heartwarming :)
diddo.... 47 here!
I've watched this sooooo many times
xAngoryx Same here. i watch this at least once a week.
xAngoryx I've watched this daily since I discovered it a few weeks ago, I cannot get enough :D
xAngoryx I'm just speedrun megaman2 with this. I more hyped playing it this way.
Yeah my 5 year old loves this vid, and so do I! I grew up with MM2!
Yeah this is probably one of my favorite vids to watch :) So amazing
You know you're too good at Mega Man when you can showboat on a floating platform while doing a fantastic speed run, and not being distracted while doing all this sitting on stage of a metal/rock concert. He makes it look like child's play.
Mm2, on easy at that, is child's play
This game has the best music of the 8 bit era, hands down.
@@SleepyReapy32 Um, no. MM 1 is a contender but 2 is unbeatable.
I prefer Mega Man 3. It doesn’t have Wily Stage 1-2, but it does have superior Robot Master themes, and if Blues’ theme doesn’t get you, I don’t know what will.
Also, Akumajou Densetsu/Japanese Castlevania 3 is a top contender imo. The VRC6 chip knocks it out of the fucking park.
@@PitchIncorrection Good point, it was amazing.
The OST of the entire franchise is awesome, and people only talk about the second game. For me, The soundtrack of MM5 is the best one, with MM3 in second and MM2 in third place. But again, All the 6 games have a masterpiece soundtrack.
Man, this was a RIDICULOUSLY fun video to watch. Props to the band, the player and your camera people. A crazy fun idea executed exceptionally well.
Must have been a blast to have been there
I'm pleasantly surprised that so many of you keep coming back to watch and comment on this.Even I still watch it a lot, it's probably one of the best shows we've ever recorded. These guys have been blowing up in popularity over the past few years and it's awesome!
But if you guys want more Bit Brigade, they played the original Legend of Zelda at PAX Prime 2014 and we just finally finished putting together our recording of it.
th-cam.com/video/o8zhb_ODfhw/w-d-xo.html
ColdBrew697 Thank you for capturing these! I'm hooked and I hope to see more from them soon!
The fact you only have one reply is blasphemy!!
+ColdBrew697 I have to say from all video cover bands Bit Brigade just is the crème de la crème. Seriously love this performance. Huge fan of the NES compositions of the megaman series and other games of that age.Bit Brigade did all the best tracks in this performance from the Megaman series except for mm4 Skullman which I hope they'll incorporate too at some point.Truly wish they add the following to their repertoire:
Megaman 4 - skullman
Punch Out (NES) - Fight Theme
Punch Out (NES) - Training Theme
Double Dragon 2
Rush 'n AttackPretty sure it will rock :)
B-FliP It is so awesome, Speedrunning concert, a fucking good idea.
It's in my gaming playlist
The time has finally come for this video to turn 10 years old. We love you Bit Brigade 💙 BLUE BOMBER FOR LIFE!!!!
Now that's some Rock, Man. (please kill me for that joke)
delet this
No, spell delete right. Its a punny joke.
+George M. "delet this" is a meme, bro
Jimmy Choi I know, thats why i put spell delete right. Which is also a meme stacked onto another meme. 10/10- IGN. Absolute dank memes
7.8/10 too much memes
I just came here for the wily stage theme. Ended up listening to the whole thing
Way too many times...
Lmao, same for me man
I'm on my 3rd watch thru. Lol
I think I need a new replay button
Haha same here
Same
I love how they played music from other Mega Man games to replace the duplicate uses in MM2. That may very well be the best remix of MM3 Wily Stage 5-6 I've ever heard.
The song that starts at 32:50 right? That's definitely a highlight. Holy shit that was amazing.
We need way more props for the bass player, especially on the Wily stage, Heatman and Bubbleman. Good GOD!
This proves the fact that MegaMan 2 is the most ingenious soundtrack ever created for a video game. Made in '88 and never topped yet.
Incorrect, literally look at mm3 4 6 7 8 9 10 and bass' 11s soundtrack, they all out do mm2
Skull Man [DWN-032] you sniff high test gasoline. That must be why.
3's soundtrack was so good that they ended up sneaking a few of its songs in there!
I prefer doom ost but this is top 5 for sure
I use to think the same thing until I heard megaman 9s soundtrack jewel man is my all time favorite my goodness
this performance is still the gold standard
Almost forgot to watch this today
"Is this Mega Man 2?" Cracks me up. xD
I never get tired of this!!
Dude, this is 2018 and we still amazed by this megaman thing. 👍👍👍
Wood Man...most underappreciated MM track ever.
^Yes.
nice
Very nice >:]
If it's from mm2 it's automatically an overplayed song, don't lie
Dude that entrance to woodman....the drums is intense!
was eating a glazed donut while watching. MOST ACTION PACKED DONUT I EVER HAD

thanks but no thanks man I want to see the whole video.
Of course. This is for when you come back to the video and want to hear a specific song
FLHilde no need to get cunty. I found his list very informative and useful.
FLHilde Then watch it and shut up
Dr Willy 1/2 ?
The entire band is bad ass but I think it would be very easy to not realize that bass player is a total fucking badass.
This is such a difficult thing to pull off live, hugely underrated
I don't normally watch a 45 minute video from someone I've never seen before, but I couldn't look away while watching this, from the gameplay to the band on stage, everything was amazing!
These guys are fantastic! They totally catch the mood of the game. I watched this whole thing in one sitting, totally glued to it. Having the "live player" only enhanced the whole thing.
Some parts of this gave me actual chills. Love how they tied in some MM3 tunes as well, took in more of the soundtrack and kept it from getting repetitive
I'm almost in disbelief that this was damn near 7 years ago. Thanks to the homies in Down In Front for allowing me to relive this night and get all nostalgic.
DAMN that’s awesome you got to see this man! :D i bet it was one hell of a mega time (sorry for the pun lol)
The dude playing the game is apparently a gaming God.
+Connor Kroening It's Mega Man 2...
+ChronozG I know, but he's taking little to no damage. I beat this game no problem, but it's not like I never took damage or died.
Connor Kroening
The damage part I agree on, taking barely any damage, but if you watch him carefully he's full on skipping most of the game, and I bet he plays this game out the ass so he knows the work a rounds. Not dying in this game is easy for me. Out of the first trilogy this is the easiest. I played this game about 4 months ago on the DS and I just killed it in about an hour.
Now Mega Man 3, my favorite (I haven't played it in years) WOOOWEEEE! I was like how the fuck did this game get so hard? LOL!
+Connor K He's playing it on easy aka the American version of the "normal" mode it looks like. Damage towards you is reduced by a lot as opposed to the "difficult" setting.
***** Now that makes sense.
This is awesome, I can only imagine the love they have for this game to have prepared all this music.
Why haven't I seen this before? This is madness. So good.
Madness...?
THIS!IS!SPARTA!
Before? i mean i got here 2 years after you...
it's 2020 and I'm still here watching this clip. salute!
This performance is awesome!! some how, i cannot stop crying watching this.
This is the greatest thing anyone has ever done. Thank you so much for this video!
I love that the drummer uses different snares/tunings depending on what game's soundtracks they're playing. The Ninja Gaiden one was a deep thud; this one is high pitched and tight. Both are the right choices for each soundtrack. Shit, man. What a player.
I respect the player the most. How could he be so confident that he would never die once?
Easy game on the easy difficulty setting.
No lie... It be badass to have a band play your game theme song during your gameplay. It may get loud but hell, you gotta feel the rush and the moment.
This NEEDS an album. ...because I need to have it.
The Flash Man song makes me feel 8 years old again... THANK YOU for your care in handling the OG material!
Those bass slides during the Flash Man intro, I'm digging it
Wood man intro drums got me so hype I nearly jumped right the fuck out of my chair
I can't believe how awesome this is. The music in Mega Man, and to a much greater extent Mega Man 2 (along with a healthy dose of Pink Floyd) helped turn me into the musician I am today.
It's incredible to see dudes on stage playing the (criminally unrecognised) video game music that I have been playing in my living room since the 1980's!
The transition from crash man to spark man was awesome!!
2018 and still watching this awesomeness!
Yeah buddy I have come back to this so many times since I found it in 2015 - now it's 2022 holy shit time files!
Finding this is a real treat - this is awesome.
That's truly awesome. They must have some amazing stamina recovery, to be playing nearly an hour straight with only occasional short breaks when the stages are completed.
Not only that, but the mere fact that they were able to stay in sync with each other so well.
The gamer was also pretty good at Mega Man, definitely had some prior practice ;)
Great job!!
I absolutely LOVE their drummer! Saw them live in Little Rock, AR and have always wanted to see them again. Thanks for posting!
This is an absolutely fantastic masterpiece. Thanks for posting.
wow! I wish I was there, love these fans. I've watched over and over
Man this performance is AMAZING! I’m almost crying!!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Drummer and bass on point
what a FANTASTIC and FUN concert this is. I love it!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life wow this is impressive makes me want to form a band and do something similar too this
I love how they barely have any time to play the boss themes XD
I always come back to this video after some time. I really like the raw audio quality in this, it conveys the energy of this performance and how the crowd gets crazy.
typed live on youtube....this was the third one down,........YOU GUYS DID IT ....YOU SAVED THE WORLD I TRAIN TO THIS EVERYDAY
Get that bass out front!!! Just as sick as the guitars! Great work guys!!!
holy fucking shit this was AMAZING 🤩
I have two vinyl pressings. Love you guys!!!!!!! Thanks for keeping the childhood heart alive.
I've seen this guys twice and it's among the best shows I've ever seen. excited to see it again :)
Great performance ! Wish i was there
This band is almost as precise as the dillinger escape plan. That's INSANE for a gaming cover band. Seriously good players.
2023 and this is still GREAT
i keep watching this over and over... it is legit badass. Look at the guitarwork!
Amazing! The end was SO epic when he beat it!
Bit Brigade is an AWSOME name!
AWESOMEEEEE!
Woodman's Stage was always my favorite. Even from a young age I could imagine it as a guitar song. ROCK AND ROLL!!
Nice >:]
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on youtube in 2016. You guys are awesome! \m/
One of the greatest live performances of anything in history, this was amazing
Great skills there! Those songs are timeless. TOTAL MAIDEN WORSHIP-MAKE MY DAY!
i can't really begin to describe how EPIC this is!
Found this in 2021 holy shit. This is superb.
Holy moly, so much awesomeness!!! Love to see this live!!
Wow, that was really good. It goes to show you just how poorly modern video game music holds up against the old stuff. Some of the material is just fucking brilliant.
No me canso de escucharlo de principio a fin
Seven years later and I'm still blown away by the game-play and the band, simply unreal!!
I’ve watched this video so much. Such a special performance. Love it so much.
They totally mixed in some MM3 tracks in that set.
Spark Man, indeed!
Where?
7:27, 15:47, 24:54 = New Weapon (MM3)
17:59 = Spark Man Stage
28:47 = Wily Castle 2 (MM3)
32:50 = Wily Castle 3 (MM3)
36:24 = Main Theme (MM3)
There is also Spark Mans Theme at 17:59
Holy crap, you're right!
❤ still here in 2023
Watching it again and again, it's just amazing!
just discovered this now!.. better late than never!.. man this is makes me feel nostalgic and excited again!! never expected this would be more better to listen in live band!.. great music!
I wish I had done that.
I imagined myself doing that for several years.
Leaves me with a weird feeling :/
...
That was crazy!
40:48 You see that?
That's the face of victory
That's the feel of victory
Those guys are the f*cking winners.
You guys are awesome, I've listened to this too many times :)
man, we really needed more drummer footage! he's so completely overlooked!
