I love how his content needed to unfold before it started blowing up. Now it’s all coming together, and this is truly Rusty’s greatest accomplishment. The series to do with the Guillotine that is.
@@USSMariner oh it was. Just happy to see the risk he took paying off. Plus I don’t think we’ve really seen it hit the algorithm yet. One of these videos is gonna get millions of views eventually.
@@PenguTT44-sh2oe he does have quite a few videos that have, but maybe you already know that. Idk. This series alone has a few that hit a few mil. Still not quite The recognition it deserved but it's better than only a couple hundred thousand
Nope, on TH-cam you can have scheduled releases for videos and this song was already on TH-cam for a month or so on Rusty Cage-Topic(auto generated by TH-cam. Basically if you see "name of artists" followed by -Topic it was autogenerated/playlist? or something by TH-cam itself, and I don't know why)
Seriously, this shows how good an artist is when they make something that feels several decades old, and yet it is made today. Like, if you told me this song was a cover of an old song from the 17th century, I'd believe you. It has that feel to it. Great song.
Not sure if Rusty will see this, but I just wanted to say, you have gained a family of new dedicated fans. Your old content, the old edgy stuff, noose song, knife game, it popped up from time to time, and I watched it, then forgot about it. However, the guillotine saga has made me a full-blown fan. I showed it to my dad, and next thing you know the family is sitting on the couch marathon-watching the entire saga. I think it is the single best viewing experience I have ever had on TH-cam. The way you mixed in your original music, the cuts between voiceover and you talking while filming, the themes, the continuity of the unripe fruit on the tree, and the overall message and statement, it had us glued to the entire saga. I know you have trouble with TH-cam strangling your reach and it can be discouraging, but I just want you to know, that because of the guillotine, you gained the hardcore support of my family, we love the guillotine saga.
Rusty is KINO for real, the absolute crème de la crème. He deserves so much more for all his talents, personality and the sheer quality of all his works. Love ya Rusty
@@radradarad Thats not really a good point stuff can be scheduled to upload at anytime, but lets be real if this was real youtube would have taken all this stuff down rusty is fine this is art for his new music and nothing more enjoy it.
As a former knife game kid, this is honeslty a really poetic way to send off, you started your TH-cam career by playing with knifes and are ending it by building a to scale guillotine. The man I used to watch play with knifes as a kid over 8 years ago I now got to watch build guillotine in his own backyard and send a message about the corrupt tyrants in Washington. Godspeed Rusty
The thumbnail seems to be a reference to a painting called ”Stanczyk”, depicting a famous polish court jester by the same name. According to wikipedia he lived from around 1480 to 1560, though the painting was drawn in 1862 by Jan Matejko. The painting shows him seemingly lost in thought. I believe I read somewhere that he was grieving the loss of something but take that with a HUGE grain of salt. Edit: So I was kind of right I guess. The full title of the painting is ”Stańczyk during a ball at the court of Queen Bona in the face of the loss of Smolensk”. So basically, it’s him after the Grand Duchy of Lithuanias loss of the city of Smolensk to the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Not to be overly morbid or insensitive but I love that you included a more prominent version of the head-chopping scene from the series finale, it's such a bone-chilling yet stunning visual x)
i can never get a hold of what he tries to say with his music. i can obviously get the surface level stuff but his entire channel gives the vide of a much much deeper meaning and message. but I do enjoy his content so I'll definitly stick around and try to learn the meaning later. I think the saying is "art is supposed to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed" and well this is most definitely art.
Ive been coming back to rusty for almost a decade now, its criminal how many millions of views the brainless tik tok stuff can get and something like this that is the culmination of years of buildup goes and only gets 40k views. I know rusty probably doesn't care, always seemed like the type to be content with making something beautiful and just putting it out there and moving on the the next project, but to see just how far his production skills have come and how many views this has is just upsetting. Hope it starts popping off in a few days Edit: i realize i didnt even talk about the song, it has such a Tim Burton/Danny Elfman feel to it that i cant explain, its bouncy and dark at the same time
@@warzip1581 difference between not reading in minute detail and not giving a shit to be that detailed and shitty about it to other commenters. Good on you though, sure your mommy is proud of you
This whole series was great. The editing for each video was awesome, and every song was fantastic. Sad to see it come to an end, but you should be proud of the project.
I really love the underlying hint at the cracked mental state of Rusty's character here: at the start he looks pretty taken aback when he's faced with the music video- like he doesn't know where it came from or what it even is- and then at the end he seems quite shaken (which is understandable, after all the poor guy just watched his own execution) before he abruptly turns off the TV. Brilliant stuff, honestly.
This series has been so incredible. I bought a Return to Tradition patch, but stupidly didn’t check the auto fill when entering my mailing info, and realized I didn’t put my apartment number on the form. But that alright, I just wanted to support this project in some way
I simply cannot explain how much I love these. You don't really get original things on youtube anymore let alone good songs made with an older sound. I'll be listening to this and all of these into the grave
Have not watched ur channel since I was 14 when it was edgy. I just started watching you again and now you mainly speak truth that guillotine vid about is society collapsing and about conspiracies was like I was hearing it directly from the voice in my head. I try to explain shit like that to ppl and they just think I'm crazy or have to much time on my hands.
rusty is one of the best creators thiere is on this platform. my most genuine respect goes to his courage to stay true to himself an not conform to the systhem
For all that still belive he's dead: In the beginning of the series there's even a disclaimer that no one was hurt shooting this video series. There are so many things pointing that he isn't dead. Guys he isn't.
That could also just be so that the series doesn't get taken off of youtube.. As if he didn't put that and something happened it would get taken off of youtube. Hoping he's not tho.
I just got the Avian Crux hoodie for my GF she is gonna loose her shit when she gets it. She is the biggest Rusty Cage fan ever. You have got her through many hard times and your music really speaks to both of us deeply. She has you on all the time (we both do) I will definitely be borrowing it as well. Soooo excited. Thank you for the music. May you live happy and well and please don't ever forget the impact your music has. It has got us through some really tough times and we are eternally grateful. You are truly truly talented and your songs are something so special to us and so many others. Especially Modern world, Requiem of the crazies, the devils bagel, this place, the bum song, pack of rats, lies of love, if all should fail, i ain't the man, the ballad of Hollis brown (better than Dylan's original which is also amazing) that's just a handful but basically we adore all your songs and the talent and artistry that goes into your work. I listed a whole page of your songs for a cab driver friend and put a star next to all my favourites they all had stars by the end haha. Hopefully we will soon be able to afford to patreon or support your channel in some ways to show our appreciation. Rusty thank you.
I've been watching since I was a kid that sounds bad, but I'm still a huge fan. I just wish he posted more regularly I guess this is my childhood TH-camr

It sucks how his content is algorith poison too
the progression from knife game to noose song to this is truly a beautiful end to this chapter
Before that, he came out with one of the best but saddest songs I have ever heard. Requiem of the crazies. The same name of his comic book series.

Hope he gets the attention he deserves for this. The whole ride has been awesome to watch, and this was a great finale
It was more like 2 and a half years

Rusty is a head of his time.
I LOOOVE the "Stańczyk" painting refrence on a thumbnail. Rusty is a true artist
I like the symbolism for the painting with The Jester in the thumbnail and the actual "End of the Guillotine" video. It's kinda cool
The music we got from the lemonade stand era is a new peak for Rusty's skill.
Been watching a long fucking time!
Damn, he died, came back, and then ended it again 😔
The Easter spirit!
@@PsRohrbaugh you are absolutely right
The Stanczyk thumbnail goes unreasonably hard
I knew the way he was sitting in the chair looked similar!
A painter, a musician, and an executioner! What a man!
Rusty Cage went from being a dead channel to a haunted channel, a ghost in the machine of revolution.
The thumbnail seems to be a reference to a painting called ”Stanczyk”, depicting a famous polish court jester by the same name. According to wikipedia he lived from around 1480 to 1560, though the painting was drawn in 1862 by Jan Matejko. The painting shows him seemingly lost in thought.

Well rusty is alive looks like he sewed his head back together.
i can never get a hold of what he tries to say with his music. i can obviously get the surface level stuff but his entire channel gives the vide of a much much deeper meaning and message.
but I do enjoy his content so I'll definitly stick around and try to learn the meaning later.
I think the saying is "art is supposed to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed" and well this is most definitely art.
It's old school socialist revolutionary music at this point.
It is simply a socialist call to arms song, Rusty has always been openly anti capitalism
He's an occultist and a slave to Satan. Boom. Jesus wins in the end.
Thanks
Guys I don't think he likes politicians or imminent domain.

The thumbnail homage to Stańczyk, is just *chefs kiss* Cage.

one of those two things might be true even if you're correct. worrying about things outside of your control isn't good for your mental health.
Also I wanna say how fucking ace it is to make one of the final guillotine and make it so perfect with the watch your step sign and plaque
I really like the composition of the thumbnail. Reminds me of that painting of a jester sulking in a chair looking dejected.
Even from beyond the grave hes still making stuff for us, now thats dedication
