came here for nostalgia and found the man himself. hope I'm able to meet you one day to shake your hand and thank you in person for making my childhood amazing.
finishing the fight my ass halos were getting pumped out every 3 years for a while there and them bungie made it peak before killing it by giving it to 343 fuck you bungie destiny sucks ass btw thanks for stealing my 60$ bungie you lazy fucktards
oh crap, I see what you mean, it's really hitting me hard ;'( Just remembering first getting Halo 3 years ago and having tons of fun everyday with it..It isn't the same anymore when going back to play it..
aq shades sorry to burst your silly concluded bubble but not as many people share the "xbox pc 2001" memories as do the ones that remember Halo 2 and 3 in their prime (2005-2009).
This is Spartan 117! Can anyone read me? Over. Lord Hood: Isolate that signal! Master Chief, mind telling me what you're doing on that ship? The Master Chief: Sir. Finishing this fight.
i wanna give a shout out to my brother johnny because this was his favorite song that him and i listened to all the time. This is for you Rest in Peace little brother i love you
Condolences mate. It's safe to assume you two were Halo fans and you know Spartans never die, they just go missing in action. Best of all to you and your family
I remember when people gave the Halo series a lot of shit (and I'm not proud to say that I was once one of them), but each entry in the series, regardless of quality, critical or fan reception, tries to add something new to the franchise.
***** They really should have left it at 3, or maybe just created an entirely different cast. They changed a few existing characters, botched the rampancy thing pretty hard (as most who have read the books will tell you, and quite a few of the terminals in 3 give a different result as well, as far as mendicant bias is concerned), and introduced a metric ton of raw bs with the didact and the weird physical promethean ai constructs. they even managed to change the core gameplay to basically COD without ironsights, with the addition of armor abilities from reach, which are effectively 'perks', and the whole starting loadouts thing (which also skews the balance in a big way).
Masen Smith Yeah I am extremely keen for that. In my opinion Halo 2 had the most enjoyable campaign, I mean every campaign was absolutely amazing but something about Halo 2's campaign just enthralled me more than the others.
JustDoIt flithy frank. weaboos. search it lol. i wasn't being serious either. I'm just saying what every other person on internet says (those who don't watch anime)
Dude, I was just on Marty O'Donnell's personal youtube channel (the guy who composed this music) and it said HE LIKED YOUR VIDEO a few days ago! You should be enormously honoured!
0:59 Absolute spine-tingling warble, followed by an explosion. It just makes the already awesome video that much awesomer. It's amazing what one can do with a guitar!
Kurt Russell it was awesome! also, I think he could take lots of the recognisable music from Combat Evolved and turn it into a Dream Theater-esque piece.
It the vibe that the older Halos gave away to its players. When I was young and played Halo 1. I had the same feeling you did. and I got to play one of the best games in history.
Proud of it! Hate the UNSC with a passion - pretentious ungrateful wankers who think threatening to court martial a super soldier (bullying a dragon) is a good idea - If I was John 117 I would have slaughtered them or Kilgraved them into being cannon fodder against the Covenant whilst I try and negotiate a peace to get them the hell away from my planet!
Yeah but the client races (Grunts, Drones, Brutes - yes Brutes, Hunters) are as much victims of the Covenants doctrine as the humans are given they were coerced into it by the Prophets and Elites
PRESENT! ARMS! *They stand proud and tall, and none feel shame to let tears come to their eyes. As he shreds the guitar, the men know their brethren are being sent off in the most badass way possible. *
I try to watch, and I get this message saying: "We are sorry, but your computer has been overloaded with metal. You will now implode from jealousness of this guys skills in 2.7 seconds." And then I implode. ? (Just kidding, incase you couldn't tell.)
I think the "metal" track from halo that people are referring to is the instrumental version of Breaking Benjamins "Blow me away" Guys its rock/hard rock :). Got to admit it fitted the battle in the Mausoleum of the Arbiter perfectly haha cant wait for halo 2 hd just to replay that alone :D.
I first started playing videos games on halo and that shit was sooo fun to play back when it was in its prime wish they had the whole remastered just for xbox one man I miss that game soo much i just wish bungie would make it.
Honestly, you are awesome as all balls, i havent seen a single screw up in any video which means you actually put effort into your videos, and i admire that
Sir tone completely honest u made me cry , me and my father always played halo together all of them , when u played never forget I cried cause halo was the game , I just had to thank u for making such an amazing song and that ( I play guitar) one day I could just learn that song
I started out watching Lux Arterna, looked in the comments and saw you there, then several videos later I wound up here, and here you are again. So weird xD
KrazyGame17 Well There was a Halo 3 track in there, but not a halo 2 track. I see where he's going with this. (Yes Mjolnir mix was a Halo 2 track but this was clearly based off the Halo 1 version)
I still like this. Nice to see it’s a good performer for you.
great seeing you here
The man himself!!!
came here for nostalgia and found the man himself. hope I'm able to meet you one day to shake your hand and thank you in person for making my childhood amazing.
Greeting Marty
The Legend !
"Permission to leave the station sir?"
"For what?"
"To give the Covenant back their bomb."
"Permission granted."
Typo I’m it’s “for what purpose master chief”
Danggg, the nostalgia
"For a brick he flew pretty damn good!"
"What if u miss?"
@@demigod4171 "I won't"
*Music starts*
"Master Chief what are you doing?"
"Finishing this fight"
Patrick Bone I got chills at that part.
finishing the fight my ass halos were getting pumped out every 3 years for a while there and them bungie made it peak before killing it by giving it to 343 fuck you bungie destiny sucks ass btw thanks for stealing my 60$ bungie you lazy fucktards
u mad bruh?
Your Brain
Such insult. Many wow.
Morthana M Brilliant.
Master Chief would be impressed.......................
Harley Wilders heck, even the Covenant would be proud!
+Harley Wilders Master Chief definitely approves.
The Forerunners are rising out of their graves and shedding tears of awesome and joy because of this!
His fucking name is Mister Chef
+Ruxandra Harris ᴡᴛғ ᴡʜʏ ᴅɪᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴋɪᴅ sᴀʏ ᴍɪsᴛᴇʀ ᴄʜɪᴇғ? 😂
Aw that never forget part hit me. I think I am going to cry.
oh crap, I see what you mean, it's really hitting me hard ;'( Just remembering first getting Halo 3 years ago and having tons of fun everyday with it..It isn't the same anymore when going back to play it..
aq shades I started with Halo 2, I was a child when I was introduced to Halo sadly.
aq shades sorry to burst your silly concluded bubble but not as many people share the "xbox pc 2001" memories as do the ones that remember Halo 2 and 3 in their prime (2005-2009).
I think I might have died from the pure epicness of this....
Dude, I died when he started playing never forget
Sergeant Mendez Then how did you type this?
Kevin Meisenbacher Well, I went feet first into hell. Knocked on deaths door and she sent me back up here, and yes death is a female.
Sergeant Mendez this makes me think of the deadpool game where him and death had a song and dance together
yeah i can see that. so death is a thot with stds then... LMFAO BRUH
It's good. Halo 2 anybody?
Halo Reach is bad ass
+Dark Gear08 Halo Reach had a very strong campaign but Halo 2 kicked ass.
+SuperFlight89 yeah ill give you that
by far the bestt halo ive ever played was #2
YES YES AND YES
This is Spartan 117! Can anyone read me? Over.
Lord Hood:
Isolate that signal! Master Chief, mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?
The Master Chief:
Sir. Finishing this fight.
i wanna give a shout out to my brother johnny because this was his favorite song that him and i listened to all the time. This is for you Rest in Peace little brother i love you
Condolences mate. It's safe to assume you two were Halo fans and you know Spartans never die, they just go missing in action. Best of all to you and your family
Will never forget that halo 3 experience. No other halo has cut it for me after 3.
I remember when people gave the Halo series a lot of shit (and I'm not proud to say that I was once one of them), but each entry in the series, regardless of quality, critical or fan reception, tries to add something new to the franchise.
Personally, My favorite halo was reach. Every halo game since that has been rather lackluster, 3 is definitely my 2nd fav halo game though
TheWitheredMage Halo 2 anniversary is gonna kick ass though
*****

it would have been cool if his guitar looked like an energy sword...
The neck would be too wide, then.
Future Pilot A double - neck guitar?
thesupersonicstig haha u made my day 😂
a double neck energy sword guitar would be awesome
Great idea
Never forget...
1:25 *threw my panties at the screen*!
wait... why am I wearing panties?
Lol
Rc Cooper yes, why is a cat wearing panties
Rc Cooper You make absolutely no sense.
Rc Cooper Because then you wouldn't have anything to throw at the screen if you weren't wearing them, duh!
+Rc “Tattooless Metalhead” Cooper Just go with it
SERIOUSLY, HAVE BABIES AND PASS ON YOUR GENES.
every time I play halo game and I hear this song it feels like you can take on anyone
Hell yeah!!
The LegendaryTwit
this guy gets it
Paramount Gamer how is he a weeb lmao, educate me.
JustDoIt flithy frank. weaboos. search it lol. i wasn't being serious either. I'm just saying what every other person on internet says (those who don't watch anime)
Paramount Gamer how did you know his username was from an anime though haha.
I never cry...ever. This video made a single tear jump out of my eye socket and hit the screen, right on the like button.
WiffyLight Nostalgia. Nostalgia everywhere...
thats a weird mental image
When Morgan Freeman cried... it rained, in heaven
E quale orgoglio anzi .. da sballo .. continua pure a tuo gusto. Son sempre punti di vista ..
Pure nostalgia right?! Same thing here... Stupid video game making me cry
anyone else get the chills from this?
"permission to leave the station?"
"for what purpose, Master Chief?"
"To give this guy a high five."
"...permission granted"
Vincent Marcellino I'd come with him
I love your covers of songs, because not only sounding amazing, but you're always smiling. It's awesome!
+Kaneki Ken Good to know you have good 'tastes' Kaneki ;)
Cam Blackmore You know it ;)
Dude, I was just on Marty O'Donnell's personal youtube channel (the guy who composed this music) and it said HE LIKED YOUR VIDEO a few days ago! You should be enormously honoured!
@Jacob Pryer ur weird
Well, Marty was responsible for game tracks that are recognizable to millions.
Senpai noticed him
Never forget part: *salute*
memories
_Omg he did Unravel Meets Metal._
_My favorite anime opening...sounds badass in metal-_
this is my death song. I can practically see valhalla as I hear it.
0:59 Absolute spine-tingling warble, followed by an explosion. It just makes the already awesome video that much awesomer. It's amazing what one can do with a guitar!
Yeah, really not kidding about the spine tingler.
Never Forget is the one song from Halo that whenever I hear it, I get chills. Thanks for throwing it in there.
NEVER FORGET IN VIDEO AND IRL PEOPLE FIGHT FOR THE GREATER GOODS OF OUR WORLD
Would love to see you and Lindsey Stirling do a battle off with gaming music or collaborate on something.
i almost cried when never forget played...i miss the good 'ol Halo 3 days were i wouldnt even sleep
I was on reddit in another tab and when Never Forget came on and I froze, i'm now crying. I'll never forget you Halo 3.
Dude, if there was a metal song that I wanted to go deaf by, and/or be played at my funeral, it would be this one.
For the next Halo game, they should have this guy do the music. Fucking epic.
Agreed!
I don't always listen to metal, but when i do I prefer Erock's metal
Same here!
lol dat reference :3
I don't always listen to metal either, but when i do....im joking i always listen to metal !!!
I don't always play as an extra red-shirt in Star Trek, but when I do, I don't die.
(Seriously, look it up)!
i love star trek refrences
Did anyone else think about digging your ol' Halo ii and start it from the beginning :') dem memories tho
Those were the good days back when friends could just set back and chill while playing some halo.
Dr_Marshall_Jr right now yes
Yeah man. Pretty much every OG Halo.
this guy just made the halo series much cooler
Ken L
well this guy made it possible
The lighter was like the Icing on the fricken cake of nostalgia. The never forget was amazing!
3 words... Like a boss.
4 words: like a Master Chief
3 more words: like Chuck Norris
Kurt Russell it was awesome! also, I think he could take lots of the recognisable music from Combat Evolved and turn it into a Dream Theater-esque piece.
Kurt Russell 2 more words: Like Johnson.
He is not like a boss, he IS the boss :D
Grumpy_Palpatine tho that would be 4 words o: doesnt fit in to the 3 words part :D
My ears...cannot...handle...such epicness...
For a moment in the beginning I pictured Ace Ventura singing 'alrighty then'
because the thme for halo2 wasnt enough.
this is pretty goddamn awesome, man!
Ive hardly played Halo and this still made me feel nostalgic
Exactly how I feel :o
It the vibe that the older Halos gave away to its players. When I was young and played Halo 1. I had the same feeling you did. and I got to play one of the best games in history.
After Microsoft bought Bethesda, I'm expecting this to be playing while I play Doom as Masterchief.
ok... as master chief gets fucked in 3 seconds because he's a bitch.
Or I kill a deathclaw as the Dragonborn... with a 10mm
I'M NOT EVEN LYING RIGHT NOW, I'M CRYING.
2:14 bring s back memories to shooting up my own Marines on Crow's Nest!
TheStrober fucking traitor
lmaoo I always felt bad doing that xD
Proud of it! Hate the UNSC with a passion - pretentious ungrateful wankers who think threatening to court martial a super soldier (bullying a dragon) is a good idea - If I was John 117 I would have slaughtered them or Kilgraved them into being cannon fodder against the Covenant whilst I try and negotiate a peace to get them the hell away from my planet!
The only issue with that is that the religion that the Covenant follow says that we humans are basically trash that needs to be eradicated :v
Yeah but the client races (Grunts, Drones, Brutes - yes Brutes, Hunters) are as much victims of the Covenants doctrine as the humans are given they were coerced into it by the Prophets and Elites
This man is the master chief
idk about this man but he just looks like he would be the nicest guy ever
RIP BUNGIE!
GamerEdge it sucks because i got a ps4 so i can't get Halo 5 or The Master Chief collection :(
They never died xD they made a game called destiny and i love it
william rioux Destiny lol
TrueScottishGamerHD is that sarcastic or not? lol
+TrueScottishGamerHD destiny can go fuck itself
I'll never forget the fun I had when Halo 3 came out. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than Reach. Still do.
So true.
thetatoworld1 Ok
having nostalgia af right now
Halo MJOLNIR mix was my all time favourite video game soundtrack. Your mix is pure gold
Don't know why everyone is bringing up Halo 3, great game and all but this is Halo 2. Also, suck it 343 Studios.
I haven't finished the vid yet, but the second song, "Brother's in Arms" is a halo 3 piece, specifically from Crow's nest.
All these are Halo 2 soundtrack variations, and the music from Halo 3 was a revamp of the Halo 2 soundtrack.
Native Wombat How is your life as a Wombat?
Endangered, not as interesting as you'd expect.
Native Wombat Damn, well good luck with the surviving thing.
Master chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?
Sir. Finishing this fight.
You know a video games soundtrack is perfect when you listen to it almost 20 years later and still get pumped af
yea.. i just got goosebums from this. im not even kidding.
Totally DESTROYED THE COVENANT WITH THIS SONG!!!!! XD
Fern P accidentally nuked sangheilios with this song
Fern P Fired the Halo array....
Fern P and wiped out every single one of The Flood in the Universe with a single epic riff!
Man that riff at 1:34 is pure gold!
This is what plays in the Master Chief's helmet
Yeah Cortana has all kinds of instruments in that chip thingy.
Never forget earned you a new sub.
this guy plays like a god
Mustafa Ahmed Salah Aldeen maybe he is God and this is how he plays
In loving memory of another game thrown to the sequel oblivion
?
***** halo ODST - 4 felt less and less like halo games
Nacalal but at the end of the day, still an amazing game apart from the lack of multilayer firefights.
Nacalal What do u mean, ODST was a masterpiece!!
Kraytus Ark
*ODST was a masterpiece!!*
I KEKLD
Is this guy jesus reincarnated? HOLY FUCK
Hahahhaahhahahah
Miguel Aquino its true though
Try rock god in human form. That would about describe it.
lewis jones what kind of rock are we talking about here?
The rock god of guitar. His powers flow through the neck of his guitar allowing him to play only the most awesome and epic rock
im a halo fan you did good on the song
I agree
Definitely
PRESENT! ARMS!
*They stand proud and tall, and none feel shame to let tears come to their eyes.
As he shreds the guitar, the men know their brethren are being sent off in the most badass way possible. *
This sounds friggin awesome!
easily the best rendition of "Never Forget"
Okay, the Never Forget segment is brain-matter atomizingly magnificent.
dammit now I gotta play halo 2 campaign
Look at the Joy of this guy man! God Bless bro
WHO'S PUMPED FOR THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION?
That's 1.
That's 2.
-my soul hand raise slowly- gaa shoot put my soul hand down
andre baker That's 3.
Raises all of my 5 hands.
From 3:58 to 4:17
PLEASE KEEP PUTTING STUFF LIKE THAT INTO THE SONGS.
THAT
WAS
GOD
LIKE
You got to love seeing someone genuinely doing what they love. Smiling all the way through. Great job brother.
Every time I hear "Never Forget" it's an immediate emotional nuke.
10/10 rendition.
Automatic tears my dude😢
I try to watch, and I get this message saying: "We are sorry, but your computer has been overloaded with metal. You will now implode from jealousness of this guys skills in 2.7 seconds." And then I implode. ?
(Just kidding, incase you couldn't tell.)
Fairy Tail meets Metal
main theme and main characters medley would be awesome.
Super Smash Bros Brawl meets Metal.
What's that sound?
That's right it's the sound of me rocking the FOCK OUT!!!
How could someone dislike this?!
Haters gonna hate. That's just how RUclips is. And disliking this is retarded. It absolutely amazing.
DUDE!!!! YOU EVEN DID "NEVER FORGET"!!!!!!! You got mad skills! This is epic!!!!
Halo 5!! This is needed in halo 5!
I am too late aren't I?
+Sunny Shukla naaaah~
it´ll work
Am I too late is the question
+Sunny Shukla Let's hope for Halo 6 ;)
+Sunny Shukla Just play it on a laptop or something whilst in Warzone, more specifically if you use a nice Req.
You're never too late!!
I seriously don’t have words to explain, how much I love you and your videos. This is art. Seriously.
Dang, can we make a petition to remake halo 3 with this as the theme.
Sounds like a damn good idea
i would quite literally pay for that
MAKE IT HAPPEN
get the money lets bribe them
No, this is for Halo 2.
Halo 2 was the badass metal Halo.
Halo 3 was the epic toned Halo.
IPOD WORTHY!!!!
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER WORTHY BECAUSE FUCK APPLE!
jackadam01 (⌐■_■) deal wit it
jackadam01 lol yea why dont you play it on your zune then
PC MASTER RACE
PC's in denial that there machine is a piece of shit!
I think the "metal" track from halo that people are referring to is the instrumental version of Breaking Benjamins "Blow me away" Guys its rock/hard rock :).
Got to admit it fitted the battle in the Mausoleum of the Arbiter perfectly haha cant wait for halo 2 hd just to replay that alone :D.
Same here man hat part was just to good, I think going up against brutes for the first time
There is "Reclaimer" and "MJOLNIR Mix" which Steve Vai lended his guitar playing for
It wasn't actually an instrumental, if you listen carefully with the volume turned up, you can here the lyrics.
ratbike rider actually blow me away was the song that breaking Benjamin came up with after bungie had asked them to make a song for there game
I first started playing videos games on halo and that shit was sooo fun to play back when it was in its prime wish they had the whole remastered just for xbox one man I miss that game soo much i just wish bungie would make it.
Honestly, you are awesome as all balls, i havent seen a single screw up in any video which means you actually put effort into your videos, and i admire that
"What if you miss?"
"I wont."
halo 2 classic
bungie needs to make the haloes again cuz all the haloes they `ve made where master pieces
Bungie no longer holds the rights to Halo. They are being remade for Next Gen by 343i.
tell me something i dont know
Then why would you say they need to make them again seeing as they can't?
Elijah Johnson He wishes for them to be because how well Bungie pulled of Halo 1, 2 and 3.
except for reach, reach was a master piece of crap
Made me wanna go back and replay the series
Was hesitant until I found this video. Now I'm definitely subscribed. Well done. You have truly honored Halo.
***** I see what you did there ;)
zimmer and shore must engage you
you are one of the best guitarists i see ever! ( sorry for mistaces , i am russian)
actually, your grammar was perfect, spelling was excellent, except you spelled mistakes wrong. But that's okay! Great job, and I completely agree!
Just when you thought the original halo song couldn't get heavier \m/
Love the big smile through the whole thing! Brings back so many good memories, was smiling through the whole thing as well
Oh the memories
This guy reminds me of someone...
A badass person!
Don't Take That Out Of Context
I learned the Halo 2 theme from a youtube vid, about a 2 minute cover. I now feel i've wasted my time
P.S. had some sick timed tap harmonics at 4:02
Sir tone completely honest u made me cry , me and my father always played halo together all of them , when u played never forget I cried cause halo was the game , I just had to thank u for making such an amazing song and that ( I play guitar) one day I could just learn that song
The messiah has come to save us! Teach us thy metal ways!
Loyalty until death, brother.
Thou Shalt Shredd!
Last Requiem
Thou shalt never forget thine shredder!
DON'T TEACH THIS DICTATOR FOLLOWER, TEACH THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN THE NC!
TheOfficialJohnDSi Ha, the NC are a joke
OH MY LAWD THAT WAS EPIC IM JUST TWO AND A HALF MINUTES IN!
GOOD GOD THAT WAS EPIC SIR, KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!
I started out watching Lux Arterna, looked in the comments and saw you there, then several videos later I wound up here, and here you are again. So weird xD
Jumpman98 Hahah yeah this is my obsession, this guy's music.
EpicDude he is epic
Fuck me... how come I've never watched this before?
I love how happy you looks when you play ! And we can feel it trought the rifts you do ! Great Job Eric !
Anyone else back to this after the masterpiece came over to PC
This is sick brings me back to the Halo 3 times!
halo 2 maybe?
KrazyGame17 Well There was a Halo 3 track in there, but not a halo 2 track. I see where he's going with this. (Yes Mjolnir mix was a Halo 2 track but this was clearly based off the Halo 1 version)
KrazyGame17 even though halo 3 was a disappointment for me when it came out i did ironically like the soundtrack more than the game lol
***** i dont know what you found disappointing. That game had everything i cared for.
Me : Hears announcement on Master Chief PC Collection
Also me : 0:22
I know I'm about 10 years late to the party, but damn man, I'm loving what you're throwing down!!! Heavy stuff!! And I love how into it you are!!
