Robert E. Howard always insisted the the Ghost of Conan stood behind him late at night telling all the tales that Howard typed out to the point that he couldn't keep up with the stream of words. Imagine Robert E. Howard nodding to Conan as he typed while the music of Riddle of Steel plays softly in the backround. Magic!
"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No, all that matters is that two stood against many, that's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request, grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!"
“Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.” ― Robert E. Howard, The Complete Chronicles of Conan Greetings from Brazil!!!
There is no need for Oscar when you are actually the forger of Anvil Of Crom. Immortality is granded to you. You live in the hearts of men. Like Basilis does.
People who understand something extraordinary knows...Basil was and is the one of the greatest film composers. Also my mentor. Legend. When I first heard this I was about 4-5 years old and I felt chicken goofs all over my body. 34 years ago
for me this is one of the greatest score ever made because only by listening the score you got the hole movie, is one of those movies where the music becames one character
I love rock/metal! BUT I would rather see this live (have not), but would rather see this live than any other band in this world! That would have to be absolutely astounding to see and hear live! Basil was a genius!!! The Conan soundtracks were some of the best music to ever be composed...........period!!
for me this song is very clear made upon the sands of shem, in the streets of arenjun, in the towers of shadizar and at the gates of turan, under a storm of knives and screams of agony of those fallen in battle, so many years wandering in hyborian age!
La mejor banda de sonido de todos los tiempos. ¡Gracias, Basil Poledouris! Se me eriza el alma cada vez que escucho tu obra. Gracias por compartir el video. Saludos desde Argentina
Excellent!! Basil Poledouris is one of my favourite composers and i undoubtedly believe that he was and will be one of the greatest Greek composers!! His film music score for "Conan the barbarian" is an opus and in my humble opinion could be compared with dramatic classical orchestral works (Orff, Holst, Sibelius...etc). Everything is marvellous in this soundtrack: composition, orchestration, the scenes of the movie come naturally to my mind due to his music expressiveness!! R.I.P
Yes, I’m glad you also saw that similarity to the elements of Holst and Sibelius, I also agree with that observation on Orff with the evident vocal cues that evoke Carmina Burana.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I love this soundtrack dearly, and seeing this was fantastic! What a treat! Thank you so much for sharing this gem! Basil, you will live on in the hearts you touched and continue to touch with your music!
He truly belongs to the best film composers beside John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and Michael Kamen. A real genius, rest in peace and thanks for everything!
In my opinion, he's been always a step ahead... :) Talented gentlemen like Williams, Zimmer and so on can make flawless and catchy music, but not raw like that. Not that wild, original and perfect in it's imperfection here and there. This masterpiece soundtrack presents another dimension.
The college band I was in performed this one year and It still gives me goosebumps. I played the Timpani. I wish i could do it again... Especially the gong roll crescendo. You know the part I'm talking about... lol
i appreciate the fact this is his only live performance. from Conan the Barbarian, to Lonsome Dove, to The Hunt for Red October, to (the original) Red Dawn, he has been my favorite movie composer.
Muchas de esas imágenes son de Canal San Roque RTVM, que durante unos cuantos años asistió a Úbeda. Fue un placer hacer ese concierto y una gran entrevista a Basil. La entrevista fue realizada por Elena García y Dionisio Castilla.
WOW, I've been listening to this incredible soundtrack to an incredible movie for my whole life. To see this recorded in all its various subtle nuances and parts is magnificent! You can really appreciate it, amazing!
Basil sits with Crom, strong on his mountain. He answered the riddle of steel.
J White Well said. Very witty.
indeed!
Crom sits beside Basil, strong on his mountain. Basil WROTE the Riddle of Steel.
J White I shed a tear at your comment :_) answer it he did, indeed. Basil forever!!! Conan forever!!!
He's with Crom and together they shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
RIP James Earl Jones
The word Epic was born with this great music! R.i.P Basil Poledouris.
your music will live forever!
He wasn't a Christian btw
@@matimus100 i never said he was a Christian?
I think he may have taken inspiration from Orff...
I don't understand how someone does for dislike this song. I hear this music since my childhood. Basil is the best ;)
Guess some people just didn't have childhood
I know this music because of Zelda trailers ...
This is a great music !
this is not a song
@@emanuel_soundtrack Interesting statement.
This song and Zelda is my childhood
best soundtrack yet written
listen to the Alexander Nevskiy suite by S Prokofiev - Russian genius. It was he who had inspired Basil!!!
How can I thank you for this beautiful music. I don't want to exaggerate but this is magnificent for me, every track of this movie is a masterpiece.

Another cool thing…HP Lovecraft and Robert were penpals…there were times where Howard would have some of love crafts work
Crom is pleased.
Asmodeus
This is GOOD!
But, what is best in life?
He better be pleased....or "To hell with him!!"
Robert sent me. Great music. 👍
It was a sad day in my house when this man passed. One of the last true film composers.
Truly epic, I find it difficult to believe a mere mortal was able to compose such beautiful, powerful music.
"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No, all that matters is that two stood against many, that's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request, grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!"
This piece is so beautiful and powerful
O que falar dessa composição… fabulosa 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
2:55 I love the periodic transitioning between riddle of steel and riders of doom.

Greetings from Brazil!!!
I cant stop my tears.... Thank you Mr. BASIL POLEDOURIS. CROM!!!!!!!!!
There is no need for Oscar when you are actually the forger of Anvil Of Crom. Immortality is granded to you. You live in the hearts of men. Like Basilis does.
A true artist. An unrecognized legend... Surely such classics will be referred to in the future...
People who understand something extraordinary knows...Basil was and is the one of the greatest film composers. Also my mentor. Legend. When I first heard this I was about 4-5 years old and I felt chicken goofs all over my body. 34 years ago
No words can describe this .... majestic piece of music !
For no one in this world can you trust. Not Men. Not Women. Not Beasts. This....you can trust.
You should never apologize, what you bring us is something unique. Thank You!
for me this is one of the greatest score ever made because only by listening the score you got the hole movie, is one of those movies where the music becames one character

Basil was a genius!!! The Conan soundtracks were some of the best music to ever be composed...........period!!
True metalheads around the world have huge respect for this masterpiece and the Basil Conan Poledouris!!! I know that for sure!!!
This music and its composer made people like me feel this movie in our souls. Rest in peace...and thank you for your great gift of this music.
Yea man it really took you to far away lands
Wow!! I got goosebumps when the entire orchestra came in towards the end. Basil was a legend! May he rest in the halls of Crom!
Let this stay on RUclips forever
It’s still here!!!!
@@saltysailormike right on, and 12 years later I still come back.
The man who created this great masterpiece deserves eternal respect!
Una verdadera maravilla. Obra Maestra!
It is just awesome. The whole story of Conan is in this theme.
We will never have the luxury of such beautiful sound again.. thanks to those who save this video for our future generations...
for me this song is very clear made upon the sands of shem, in the streets of arenjun, in the towers of shadizar and at the gates of turan, under a storm of knives and screams of agony of those fallen in battle, so many years wandering in hyborian age!
A Master of Music. He agreed to come from Los Angeles being aware of his illness . In fact he passed away a few months later.
This is timeless masterpiece! The craftsmanship and climate of the music is just amazing... Hail!
Obra musical de incalculable valor. Sin duda la mas grande obra musical de todos los tiempos entregada a la industria del cine.

Poledouris and Morricone up there forever
Yes, I’m glad you also saw that similarity to the elements of Holst and Sibelius, I also agree with that observation on Orff with the evident vocal cues that evoke Carmina Burana.
This thing calls for headbanging so hard.........!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I love this soundtrack dearly, and seeing this was fantastic! What a treat! Thank you so much for sharing this gem! Basil, you will live on in the hearts you touched and continue to touch with your music!
Posiblemente una de los mejores temas musicales en la historia del cine. Obra maestra
GORGEOUS music to my ears!
RIP Master Poledouris
Crom
Nada antes y nada despues pude superar a esta Gran OBRA MAESTRA.
Basil Poledouris and Hans Zimmer. Two the greatest composers of the modern era.
Ouch, mentioning Zimmer there. No way. He's popular, but he's like candy, simple yet likeable and effective but not something you'd eat all the time.
Wojcieh Kilar my friend, don't forget this one too ...
RIP Basil Poledouris. Thank you for the music.
There are no words to describe the wonder created by Sir Polidouris in this masterpiece.
one of the best soundtrack ever... RIP basil :)
Dudo101, I agree my friend. Best score EVER!
Basil, Rest in Peace.
A master piece of emotion
What a great master!!! R.I.P. dear Basil.
RIP Basil Your music lives on forever...
Indeed it lasts in infinity.
"Riders of Doom" lyric
Enses, enses requirimus, requirimus saevos nos.
Nos ferrei reges, servi Fati.
Vale caelum, vale terra, vale nivis, morimur!
Vale, morimur servis Fati!
Capita superba quatientes
Mortem hostibus et luctem date
Acrem di manes sternadis.
Ave ferrum, Ave tela
Ave Nevis, moritur!
Ave ferrum, Ave tela
Ave Nevis, moritur!
Ave pugna!
Enses, servi Fati, requirimus saevos nos.
Enses, servi Fati, requirimus saevos nos.
Morta ex terra mortiferra tela
Morta ex terra mortiferra tela
Enses, servi Fati, requirimus saevos nos.
Enses, servi Fati, requirimus saevos nos.
Morta ex terra mortiferra tela
In hostes bello ad moventes.
Nos ferrei reges, servi Fati.
Vale caelum, vale terra, vale nivis, morimur!
Skylon!
Crom is blessing you, thanks for this!
That's just beyond words....A true legend rip
He wasn't a Christian btw
His music transcended all the movies it was used in, it did that consistently throughout his career. The best.
This is the Stairway to Heaven of classical music. It takes you on a journey. Perfect!
He truly belongs to the best film composers beside John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and Michael Kamen. A real genius, rest in peace and thanks for everything!
In my opinion, he's been always a step ahead... :) Talented gentlemen like Williams, Zimmer and so on can make flawless and catchy music, but not raw like that. Not that wild, original and perfect in it's imperfection here and there. This masterpiece soundtrack presents another dimension.
Yo estuve allí y lo recordaré siempre.
I was there and it will be in my mind forever.
balls of steel
I want to see a live version of this so bad I can taste it!!!! Such an underrated piece.
Unbelievable soundtrack. Timeless
The college band I was in performed this one year and It still gives me goosebumps. I played the Timpani. I wish i could do it again... Especially the gong roll crescendo. You know the part I'm talking about... lol
He is Conan, the Cinmerian. He won't cry, so... I cry for him.
We will never hear its like again...:(
This is a concert a deaf man could appreciate. The pure power of this music is enough to send shivers down your spine.
this is a masterpiece
i appreciate the fact this is his only live performance. from Conan the Barbarian, to Lonsome Dove, to The Hunt for Red October, to (the original) Red Dawn, he has been my favorite movie composer.
RIP Basil...an genius and the master...may your name be forged in time for eternity..
AVE CRUOR!!!!!!
Crom doesn't rest
gente como Basil Poledouris deberia de vivir eternamente.
He made History with his music.
RIP master.
Such a great composer - a shame he's gone, but his music will be eternal ...
Amazing... just amazing

This music has a life of its own. It doesn't need the movie. But knowing the movie makes it so much better.
The people that saw this performance live have no idea how incredibly lucky they are. Basil Poledouris was an absolute God among film composers.
Simply awesome, how does the crowd sit there so reserved lol.
They took all their broadswords and flails at the entrance of course.
MrPrankmastergeneral That made my Day ! :)
Perhaps they are so moved they can't move. It happens, sometimes, when you're listening to great music.
thank you thank you thank you
Que gran perdida una gran oportunidad de haberlo visto y oido en directo dirigir en Ubeda esa orquesta...
i will never stop loving this
basil poledouris was sooo good... RIP
Basil is the best.
