This is truly a masterpiece, and all these years later I still occasionally feel like taking a trip down memory lane, and I revisit nostalgic pieces such as this
14 years later and this song still fuckin rocks. I agree, the nostalgia of old WoW was something that cannot be achieved with games, even retail or Classic, to this day.
I remember jamming out to this when it first came out. Had an entire WoW playlist. Guess I felt nostalgic over the days when WoW was great. So here I sit, jamming out.
My brother was trying to get me into WOW but had no interest then he leaned over and said watch Big Blue Dress. Finally I watched and was hooked! Sadly in 2011 my baby brother passed away but the moment I watch this I can still hear him say watch Big Blue Dress and remember the cheering I did as he laughed yelling I got ya. Lol yep I still play today and play the video often. Thank you for the memories!
@@alejandroderienosa4828 thank you, I still have my WOW going strong. I’m lucky some times when my nephews jump online and play with me. That keeps me smiling.
Bro. My condolences for your loss, but my heartfelt congratulations for some of the best memories that will remain immortal long after we all join your beloved brother. Respect from the land down under
Well, Cranius. You are possibly one of my favorite RUclipsrs, if not my favorite, because after years I still come back, watch your videos, and remain awed. Sadly, it appears you moved on. And probably, you'll never read this. Still, thanks for the amazing songs, the fun videos, and generally, the entertainment your channel brought me. /salute
+ Kefka Palazzo actually no youtube came out Feb 14, 2005 Vanilla came out Nov 23, 2004 and since Burning Crusade didn't come out Jan 16, 2007 which means youtube was out 2 yrs before TBC came out which also means youtube was around in Vanilla...lol =P
The Peanut Gallery Their video-making selves are "Dead" in the sense that most if not all of the good ones (Nyhm, Cranius, Oxhorn, etc.) all "retired".
+Xander Ellem Nhym had a couple that were pretty funny, but his stuff is just parodies. They require a lot less talent than what Cranius does. Not to mention that Cranius has a professional grade singing voice.
Idgaf about that, it is a better game. I don't want to play it for nostalgia, I want to play it because I like MMOs and BfA simply doesn't scratch the same itch.
I listened to so many of these as a young player - really young, I must have been around ten or eleven - and I still know all the words by heart. It's AWESOME
Back when mages were the bees knees. My buddy showed me this video among others of the different classes when I was first getting into the game. This video made me decide to make a mage for my very first character. I still play that exact same mage today.
10 years+ and still love this video. Thanks for the memories. I still remember the first time I saw this video and went and my mage. Haven't played wow in years but might try the new classic.
Can’t get over how amazing this is. To think. I could have gone my whole life and never seen this wonderful piece of art. Luckily wow classic came out and it bought me here. Amazing. I can die happy. RUclips just doesn’t put this kind of quality content out anymore
It would be cool but I doubt something like Nostalrius, Elysium or 2019 classic release can happen again. Blizzard has unfortunately exhausted all the potential vanilla vanilla with very bad decisions
Small trivia: From around 2:35 he's actually wearing a twill set, cloth items with no stat (other than armor). "A man who's truly skilled can look quite good in twill"
The key to rocking the twill was in rings, trinkets, etc, so that you'd only lose the stat boost from the main clothing items, rather than being 'au naturale'.
Still my all time favourite home made song from any game entirely. I remember back in 2006 linking this in Ventrilo and everyone loving it! I myself was a mage also, for 6 years!
To be honest I prefer the BOA, back in the day if you didnt want to spend shit tons of gold and time on twinking you couldn't lowbie pvp without getting fucked.
Crowyn I stopped right before Legion because I no longer had time with work and I was getting tired of all the dam multi boxers everywhere. It didn’t help that my guild dissolved.
14 years later and I still screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs. Ah the simpler times of the internet. Games that had lore and teamspeak that sucked :)
Where is Cranius today? =/ I've left high school, college, have moved half a world away, and gray hairs are beginning in my beard. It's been so long since I first discovered this with my dad who also used to play wow. This was me and my high-school friends anthem for like a year. Hope you're still out there man, doing the lords work with video games.
This is absolute gold, Spotify recommended me this song and i so fckn loved it, discovering that it's about WoW made it way better than i believed possible
I remember when this was new...oh man, those were some times! For anyone unfamiliar with WoW back then...you had to have over 2k health to like be considered "safe" from getting one or two shot combo'd (and thats just to not immediately die). So consider the fact that you are seeing 1.4k crits from PoM+Pyro to be actually be REALLY significant damage.
13 years ago I wore my first big blue dress. I can safely say playing allllll sorts of fantasy games. This is not only the theme for every WoW mage. But every manly mage out there. Keep slingin' fire, kings
I'm here again after 12 years! Haha I was about 20 when this game came out. Played for a solid 6-7 years. Left after Cataclysm because I was finally burned out. I had a chance to play with Cranius for a while on one of the servers he was on. I started on Destromath, but by the time I finally found him, I think he had transferred to a diff one (Spirestone?). I transferred over, played with him for a bit. Then I eventually transferred back to Destromath because it was home. Great memories of this game. PoM+Pyroblast will live on forever. The glorious days of being a Glass Cannon, and watching everyone run from you were a wonderful lol. Thumbs up if anyone is reading this in 2018.
Almost all day? One time I woke up that morning and started fighting in AV. Finally, 18 hours later, I had to give it up and go to sleep. When I woke up 8 hours later, I got back on Wow, and back into that same fucking AV instance. Later that day the alliance finally won.
Very good editing for when this was originally released. I guess it's not so hard when you have a constant flow of 3 minute breaks to work on your video.
@@venkolambov2980 No shit it won't be the same...Addons, guides, better computers, better servers, and oh yea, we're all 15 years older...Play the game or don't no one cares about your opinion
It's 2024 and this song still hits

The best songs live forever
Watching in November 2024. 😀 This one and the vending machine song M.A.G.E are the best ever. ❤

Agreed.
Next up is Re: Your Brains
Arathi Basin. I spent some time on those hills:D Good memories
unfortunately modern wow players won't understand it.
why don't you just transmog it?
can we agree this is the Mage anthem?
kickassmage oh yeah
kickassmage yes yes we can
Without a doubt. Been signing it since vanilla.
+kickassmage Well this and M.A.G.E by Nyhm
+kickassmage Hell yeah it is!!
This video is still godlike after 6 years.
It's way older than 6 years, mate :) This is a re-upload
Ken Meland yes,around 8-9 years I think
Well, yeah. It was before TBC :P
+ImMarksman I know, right! Whenever I play a mage/lock i turn this on
8 years*
I remember jamming out to this when it first came out. Had an entire WoW playlist. Guess I felt nostalgic over the days when WoW was great. So here I sit, jamming out.
this song has stayed my #2 on my WoW playlist ever since.
Thank you Crainus. For reminding us of better times.
i miss the old days

He's still active on Facebook (somewhat). Rarely put up new songs since he married Legs though.
Low Chun Zhi his fb name pls? :D
Nikola Markovic
just search friends for Cranius. I found him no problem. Says he and Legs have started playing WoD. :)
I couldn't agree more friend.
Bilbo Bacons Wait wait wait wait wait WHAT?! :D
I can't believe this was 7 years ago... I don't play wow anymore, but this song is so embedded in my memories
This is the reposted version too, the first one is way older than this, was posted during vanilla
Which means it was posted before RUclips even existed, probably on WarcraftMovies I'm guessing xD
Same here! This song makes me want to go re-start my account lol
Because it's made of win.
+ Kefka Palazzo actually no youtube came out Feb 14, 2005 Vanilla came out Nov 23, 2004 and since Burning Crusade didn't come out Jan 16, 2007 which means youtube was out 2 yrs before TBC came out which also means youtube was around in Vanilla...lol =P
R.I.P the good world of Warcraft song makers....
They're not DEAD.
...are they?
The Peanut Gallery Their video-making selves are "Dead" in the sense that most if not all of the good ones (Nyhm, Cranius, Oxhorn, etc.) all "retired".
RIP to the good WoW...
@@DarthSears Oxhorn is technically not retired. He just quit WOW and moved on to other RPGs like Fallout.
@@nigelis2345 Bro that was an almost decade-old comment.
I've been playing wow since, Vanilla, I still pop in to watch this epic video!
fuck I miss cranius and nhym too, their songs used to get me so hyped
Yep almost makes me want to play again
+Xander Ellem Cranius actually rejoined wow
Mason Preston seriously, Is he planning to make any new songs?
Not a damn clue
+Xander Ellem Nhym had a couple that were pretty funny, but his stuff is just parodies. They require a lot less talent than what Cranius does. Not to mention that Cranius has a professional grade singing voice.
14 years and still one of the best songs ever
💯
I remember watching this for the first time
"OMG HE KILLED A GUY WITH THUNDERFURY BADASS!!"
... I was easy to impress as a kid.
+TyronMakeka lol
+TyronMakeka Still impressive unless he just had the range
+TyronMakeka I remember wanting to play a tauren warrior a bit after this. Tauren warrior was huge.
..I was just impressed by the 1k+ pyroblast damage
Melancholic Sandwich Eh if i remember right, around that time warriors could crit for 7k. So that wasn't as impressive.
After 12 years.. still an awesome piece.. thank you for this ❤️🖤
Release of Classic WoW on Aug 26/27 2019! Hype is real!
Vanilla servers announced, time to relive the glory days!
A demo for classic was announced to be playable with a virtual or real blizzcon ticket this november. Rejoice!
It'll never feel the same. This masterpiece of a game had it's time.
Idgaf about that, it is a better game. I don't want to play it for nostalgia, I want to play it because I like MMOs and BfA simply doesn't scratch the same itch.
@@begone1934 I agree with you both, i'll be returning to classic aswell and it'll be the best MMO still for our time. Can't wait!
I am going to wear a big blue dress and spec POM pyro
I listened to so many of these as a young player - really young, I must have been around ten or eleven - and I still know all the words by heart. It's AWESOME
Back when mages were the bees knees.
My buddy showed me this video among others of the different classes when I was first getting into the game. This video made me decide to make a mage for my very first character. I still play that exact same mage today.
Playing Mage in Classic right now, with this on repeat in the background. It's the best atmosphere for the GBF creation!
@cranius, remaster this song. Classic is back and we need your songs again!! FOR THE ALLIANCE
The mastering is actually impeccable.
We classic
He'll probably get a life sentence in prison for using the word "gay" as an insult these days.
@@gumgumbegum I mean, how is it an insult? He's saying he's a man in a dress, so he looks gay since gay guys wear dresses, duh.
@@ThorGodofThunder420 you got things confused sweetie. transcestites wear dresses if we are to generalize abit.. gay guys ... unlikely :)
Man I really remember all the words to this after literally 5 years
Worrun I think it's about 8 years for me
George Karampagias The song has only been out for 6 years so that's impossible :3
Phealin the Knight of Gaming this is re-edit,the original had like 240 quality too.It didn't come out in 2009,this came out before TBC :)
Phealin the Knight of Gaming fool , this is the re-edit , the original was more than 8 years ago
Worrun Amen bruda
Clasic is back wonder if Cranius will be back?!?!
No white stallion in classic. :( It wouldn't be the same.
we need v2.0
he is back streaming on Twitch under CraniusPlays
Not playing WoW anymore since 2012, but still coming back here every few years just to enjoy this masterpiece
Me to, years out but i miss the old days playing wow.
Memories of charging Stormwind gates naked 😁
I'm jumping back into Wow Classic. This is my theme tune for the next couple of years.
OMG this thing is almost 10 years old and is still awesome. Can't wait for WoW Classic. Was a BC Brat so missed the true Vanilla.
So, now that we're here, how'd Classic go for you lol
@@BloodPlusPwn Not as I hoped for but pretty much what I expected.
I come back to this video every couple of years to say hello.
11 years later and I still rock this on a weekly basis!
Thumbs up if your are listening in 2024 :)
No more a WoW player, but songs like this one will be in my playlist till the day i die IRL !
Yes
And soon we'll return to this! World of Warcraft Classic (Vanilla) announced on Blizzcon!
oh boi
...and a year later they announce at the following Blizzcon that it's still another 7-8 months away : /
wait what ! fuck
Thank you Cranius. I hope you’re doing well man, wherever you are
Thought it was a trash video but man was I wrong, great balls of fire, never thought mages would sound so epic
10 years+ and still love this video. Thanks for the memories. I still remember the first time I saw this video and went and my mage. Haven't played wow in years but might try the new classic.
Can’t get over how amazing this is.
To think. I could have gone my whole life and never seen this wonderful piece of art. Luckily wow classic came out and it bought me here. Amazing. I can die happy.
RUclips just doesn’t put this kind of quality content out anymore
This song was the one that got me into wow and the mage of course. I needed that fire ball
I remember watching this when it was still brand new. God, the nostalgia!
Can't even imagine now how cool it must have been back then
Damn Classic is indeed classic!!!
Can't wait for Blizz to release another vanilla so I can level and live through the hype while listening to this banger
It would be cool but I doubt something like Nostalrius, Elysium or 2019 classic release can happen again. Blizzard has unfortunately exhausted all the potential vanilla vanilla with very bad decisions
Still one of the best machinimas to this day.
Such a classic. Speaking of, hope you're planning on playing Classic when it releases. The world needs more Cranius songs!
Small trivia: From around 2:35 he's actually wearing a twill set, cloth items with no stat (other than armor). "A man who's truly skilled can look quite good in twill"
The key to rocking the twill was in rings, trinkets, etc, so that you'd only lose the stat boost from the main clothing items, rather than being 'au naturale'.
The Memories never fade. and the Legend never Falls, even in Twill.
This video got me into WoW, and of course; as expected; my first class was the Mage!
Another piece of classic nostalgia, man it was great to be there from the very start. Always checking WCM for new movies, good memories!
Try legion. Its been fun and awesome storywise.
Waiting for WoW Classic while listening to this
Still my all time favourite home made song from any game entirely. I remember back in 2006 linking this in Ventrilo and everyone loving it! I myself was a mage also, for 6 years!
This will never be beaten. Those of us around back then, knows this is gold!
I'm old now but this song never gets old.
I'm older now and still its good. Age does not make a song the song does.
What ever happened to Cranius?
Also R.I.P when everyone didn't have boa/heirloom gear.
He got Married to Legs ;) He's semi active on his fb page tho.
DeeGeeTaL
FACE BOOK PAGE WHERE >.>
To be honest I prefer the BOA, back in the day if you didnt want to spend shit tons of gold and time on twinking you couldn't lowbie pvp without getting fucked.
William Turner Yeah but it seem like every time I play a BG everyone but one person has BOA.
***** Not at all, Cranius is still very active in gaming, he's started up in TESO
Warcraft has been trash for more than a few years now but this song and music video will always be a time capsule of the true glory days.
MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best part is the gnomes.
***** Who knew Nat was a racist?
Sit right back n your troubles melt away! 😃
I grew up to this and all of cranius songs, 27 & almost married and a kid. These songs will always be timeless classics for me
that's it, making a mage and maining him for legion.
yea, you do that
im probably going to main rouge and piss people off with it
Fire is pretty good right now from what I hear :P
Im still listening to this.. even after all those year. i stopped playing like 2 years ago but still, this song is so nostalgic
Crowyn I stopped right before Legion because I no longer had time with work and I was getting tired of all the dam multi boxers everywhere. It didn’t help that my guild dissolved.
I remember this. Such a good song n. Wish I could play music this good.
I've been listening to this song on Spotify for a couple of months now had no idea it was about Warcraft XD
this pops on my feed once in a while. must admit its done very well with some pretty good and catchy lyrics.
Who is still watching this video in 2023
2024*
2024 here, I was reminded of it by a comment in a video by Bellular Warcraft
14 years later and I still screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs.
Ah the simpler times of the internet.
Games that had lore and teamspeak that sucked :)
Comin back to watch after so long. You my greatest nostalgia Cranius
"Pantsuit Versions of Tier 2 Transmog Added for WoW's 20th Anniversary" We did it, man, it just took 20 years.
Where is Cranius today? =/ I've left high school, college, have moved half a world away, and gray hairs are beginning in my beard. It's been so long since I first discovered this with my dad who also used to play wow. This was me and my high-school friends anthem for like a year.
Hope you're still out there man, doing the lords work with video games.
He uploaded a new video recently :)
This is absolute gold, Spotify recommended me this song and i so fckn loved it, discovering that it's about WoW made it way better than i believed possible
I remember when this was new...oh man, those were some times!
For anyone unfamiliar with WoW back then...you had to have over 2k health to like be considered "safe" from getting one or two shot combo'd (and thats just to not immediately die). So consider the fact that you are seeing 1.4k crits from PoM+Pyro to be actually be REALLY significant damage.
timeless!!
geckoztom Ikr ! The best zone of World of Warcraft !
can't call things gay anymore
Letting this play in the background while playing Classic. These are good times we live in~
Damn this takes me back.
R.I.P Blastwave
Blastwave is alive and well on Vanilla servers still. 'Kronos-WoW" looks to be the highest quality Vanilla server ever made, it's launching `soon™'
I like to think that this video is the sole reason Blizzard added Transmog to WoW. Legendary video!
Rest in peace PoM-Pyro mages :)
Not so fast. Classic inc
That was my favourite :'-(
Still watching in the end of 2018.. ready for classic
11 years ago and I'm still loving this. I hope Cranius will some time pick up this youtube channel again
"Well just remember this, when next you look to kill: that a man who's truly skilled can look quite good in quill" Godly words.
He said Twill, not Quill as the description clarifies.
13 years ago I wore my first big blue dress. I can safely say playing allllll sorts of fantasy games. This is not only the theme for every WoW mage. But every manly mage out there. Keep slingin' fire, kings
I'm here again after 12 years! Haha I was about 20 when this game came out. Played for a solid 6-7 years. Left after Cataclysm because I was finally burned out. I had a chance to play with Cranius for a while on one of the servers he was on. I started on Destromath, but by the time I finally found him, I think he had transferred to a diff one (Spirestone?). I transferred over, played with him for a bit. Then I eventually transferred back to Destromath because it was home. Great memories of this game. PoM+Pyroblast will live on forever. The glorious days of being a Glass Cannon, and watching everyone run from you were a wonderful lol. Thumbs up if anyone is reading this in 2018.
... I miss Vanilla.
like the almost all day av
Almost all day? One time I woke up that morning and started fighting in AV.
Finally, 18 hours later, I had to give it up and go to sleep.
When I woke up 8 hours later, I got back on Wow, and back into that same fucking AV instance. Later that day the alliance finally won.
You miss your memories of Vanilla. Vanilla actually sucked sweaty donkey balls.

+Gregore Candalez "you think you, do but you don't"
This video is still godlike after 50 years. Sorry i come from future.
My late son showed me this awesome video. Good memories
Who came here to get pumped up for Classic!?
Makes you want to play a human mage
10 years and i still come for these videos :)
October 2023 anyone?
2019 here, this is epic💪🏼
This song and the MV have both lived rent free in my head for years. The nostalgia is real. The jam is fire.
"Well just remember this: when next you look to kill
That a man who's truly skilled can look quite good in twill!"
I miss this game
you made me roll a fire mage and i never looked back at it since
Never gets old
We're going back boys
have not heard this for meny meny meny years, and immediately remembered all the words and sang along!
Can’t believe the video was made in 2005 and still 14 years later there are comments from less than a day ago
Very good editing for when this was originally released. I guess it's not so hard when you have a constant flow of 3 minute breaks to work on your video.
It's 2023 and, yet again, I'm still returning to this masterpiece
2 months until classic. Can't wait to POM pyro fools
and your blue dress?
POM Pyro is the only thing tugging on me to play mage as opposed to warlock...
@@Be_Gee the New classic its trash in blizz its not the same it NEVER be the same
@@venkolambov2980 No shit it won't be the same...Addons, guides, better computers, better servers, and oh yea, we're all 15 years older...Play the game or don't no one cares about your opinion
@@Be_Gee thats so True..
It's nice though, that Cranius employed three little orphans for this video!
15 years later and it still slaps harder than most shit on the radio. Love love love this goddamn song.
It's still godlike after 11 years
I love how this song won't make sense to newer players who came in after transmog was introduced.
But I came back after the wardrobe was introduced! :-)
feelsgoodman
I think that most people (like me) can figure that out on their own.
yeah,but transmog is good but the thing pre trans mog i can tell if the player was good or not by looking at him
***** "I judge players based on how lucky they are with boss drops or how much time they waste in battlegrounds." That what you said right there.
This is my first time watching this in atleast 7 years.
SO nostalgic I'm holding back tears xD
