I'd actually have appreciated you talking more about "playing on the back of the beat" - I initially confused what you were saying with the swing timing the song has. What does it actually do? What other songs do it? I want to leaaaaaaarn, tony
@@Rhaethyn Playing on the back side is when you are ALMOST dragging but not quite. You can play in 3 places back side, on the beat and ahead. It just gives a nice feel that adds a different element of groove depending on what is going on in the song.
This is why Tony and other actual musical professionals have the best music reactions on RUclips. Anyone can go "epic guitar" or "great drums and bass" but people like Tony really show how insanely composed these songs are. His knowledge with his reactions is equivalent to seeing a master painter break down a simple painting and really bring to life the artistry of the original painter. Keep it up. I love hearing your breakdowns
I really, really like the descending chug that happens at the end of the guitar solo. It’s so kinetic and violent sounding. It’s like the musical equivalent of slamming on the brakes in the car. It just sounds so forceful and heavy and it fits goldlewis and the way that he plays really well.
I love Tony’s videos more than most reaction channels. Especially his 20+ minutes and GG videos. Because I like hearing is insight on this. Especially when he breaks things down, it shows his enjoyment of these songs. I know most people are here to see his general reaction but I enjoy all the musical knowledge, breakdowns, and reactions. The “Gravity” video was one of my favorites of his reactions. Would love to see his reaction to “Extras”
We just need more AISHA in general, tho I understand that the songs that she ends up singing is not always the cup of tea of people who enjoy the rest of the tracks.
I do love the journey we've been on here exploring Strive music but I do also find it kind of funny how much more there is to still potentially cover. Always a pleasant surprise.
12:00 I appreciate this rant SO MUCH, especially on this song and after your spot on comments about the off-set hi-hat on the main beat and riff during the instrumental parts, pre-verse. It's not super advanced by any means, but it gives the sound so much life! It goes without saying, being Goldlewis, but it's such a fat, heavy sound, it's incredible. Daisuke is probably my favourite composer after Nobuo Uematsu. 0
I know you said there shouldn't be a tier list for this soundtrack but we would love it in the future if you ever did an overall soundtrack review or stream where you listen to the songs again with second thoughts ❤
I hope you can listen to "Love the Subhuman Self", "Extras", "Roar of the Spark" or "Play the Hero" soon. Moving away from Guilty Gear, I'd love for you to listen to Wings of Freedom from the Epica vs Attack on Titan EP.
I think the thing I appreciate about these Guilty Gear tracks the most is how they seem to bring me right up to the edge of my "comfort zone" in terms of music taste without going too far over into "too experimental". I've tried to get into progressive stuff in the past and found myself a little too ambivalent towards it after only a few minutes. With Guilty Gear, it may not be something I can listen to regularly (I'm mostly a normie lol, sorry), but I've yet to feel like any of the more experimental elements turn me off. It's a lot like changing how you prepare a favorite dish by varying up the seasoning or cooking technique, as opposed to trying a completely different dish. Gives it time to grow on me while still having just enough familiar elements that I can latch onto. I also appreciate Tony's tangent about how "same-y" pop music can feel at times. I genuinely don't give a shit about lyrics in pretty much anything I've listened to. To me, "vocals" have always just been another instrument, and I've had trouble getting into genres like rap/hip-hop as a result (aside from folks like Eminem that tend to have more going on than just mumbling and molesting the hi-hat patch on their synth). In that sense, Guilty Gear has been extremely refreshing.
I'm going to wait for a patreon subscription. I'll wait patiently and see if I need to ask for "Find your one way" myself or not and make it the last one heard. I mean, I'm one of the five people who have it as their favourite GG strive character theme so... It can wait... OH, and thanks for the dissection of mister Goldlewis' theme, it was interesting and educative like all the other videos, never change it's just perfect
I think the analogy would be summed up with this. In order to speak, you do not need to know how to read, however, if you want to be better at the language you speak, it will help to be able to read other ideas, write down your thought to try, and be able to go back and edit sentences you wrote. Love the content man! Awesome analysis, really like the explanations you have for patterns, puts words to what I am not super familiar with. Keep it up!
There are so many good ones left in strive. Excited to see ya do "The Town Inside Me" and "Love the Subhuman Self" Listening to some old guilty gear would be cool af too. Like "Awe of She" or "Holy Orders" would be sick as well.
Honestly needed this reaction, always tought the Kiss of Death was one of the most meh songs of Guilty Gear, but now I am noticing all the subtle changes and adjustsments that now make me headbang WAY more than I tought I would to this song XD
I am very glad I discovered your channel. I am listening your analysis of great VMG as I go ride by bycicle to keep my muscles powerful. Might I recommend the very underrated "Radical Dreamers - Facing" by Yasunori Mitsuda? Thanks.
Hey I know its not a patreon request but I think you'd Absolutley would enjoy "Extras" Which is guilty Gear Elphelts theme. Its a very multi genre song with the craziest vocals. Keep in mind theirs only one vocalist if you react to it.
Wow. The character explainers have let us all down. Dude's name is Goldlewis Dickenson, and he's the canonical US Secretary of Defense, with the nickname "the secretary of absolute defense". He is an avid Cryptid enthusiast, which is what is in the coffin. Don't call it an alien, that's ridiculous. Anyways, as you can see, he's just a MASSIVE dude who swings around a coffin on a chain, which contains the literal area 51 alien. He, alone, is as strong as the entire secret service combined. He's shown to catch an RPG mid-flight and toss it back at the enemies. He's actually just a really cool dude, and a good father figure / mentor to bridget, who (in the relevant parts of the story) is struggling to come to terms with her gender identity.
On a meta level, he's cool because he's one of the only fat/stocky fighting game characters who is portrayed neither as a joke nor with a design /personality that revolves around being fat. (Well, mostly. He definitely needs to be big to make swinging the coffin around believable.)
As far as gameplay goes, he's got 8 moves that swing the coffin, and they all correspond to the input motion, which feels super intuitive. (Ex the move that swings the coffin from above his head down to the floor, like if you were chopping wood, is done by pressing [up-forward-down-attack]. All of these moves are known as "behemoth typhoons", which has spawned a memetic phrase. He does high damage, but his main strong point is his comparatively extremely high damage dealt when the opponent is blocking. Because yeah, YOU try and block a goddamn armored coffin being swung at you and tell me you're fine afterwards. Finally, I NEED to draw attention to how freaking sick the names of his supers are - the sky laser is called "Burn it Down", and his huge coffin uppercut is called "Down With the System". Which are both rad.
@@Rhaethyn Being big is a good choice for his visual design and playstyle, but he doesn't NEED to be big in order to swing the coffin around. After all, you have a 110lb little pirate girl swinging around a 3,000lb boat anchor like a wiffle-ball bat, so clearly size is not a linear indicator of strength in GG.
Greetings Tony. Eventhough i didn't request through the Patreon, i would like to see a reaction for some Ender of lilies: Quietus of the Knighs OST'S. I think you would like some as well, and since it's a game i love, it would be cool.
another banger, i hope someday you check out music from RWBY. Its very unique, id recommend starting with "red like roses pt2" if you do ever check it out
RWBY has so many cool songs to break down… Lyrically, musically and maybe in other ways too… Working through the catalogue you also get to hear Casey’s vocals improve and her range of vocal styles… And then for volume 9 she did some really interesting stuff with whoever she was writing with… I missed Jeff’s style, but volume 9’s soundtrack might have been even more intriguing in terms of music… It’d be great to have more musicians checking RWBY stuff out.
@@KitsyX absolutely, i wanted to recommend "Miracle" from vol 6 but i think watching casey's progression is a really cool and fun thing to do over the course of a couple songs. I grew up with RWBY and it Jeff's music really cemented my love of metal and rock at a young age. While I like vol 9 track i do miss Jeff as well. Especially because vol 8's "The sky is falling" is such a banger
Hey, I wanted to ask if you're interested in reacting to some of the Terraria Calamity mod songs. I personally think that all the pieces of the OST are masterpieces made by one guy, DM Dokuro. I know that you've already reacted to "Raw, Unfiltered Calamity," but there's just so much more to this OST, all made with passion.😃
Man I really don’t know how I feel about Japanese singers trying to write vocals with English phrasing. It’s tough because the way they try to fit the actual words into the phrasing is sometimes awkward. I’d probably prefer straight up Japanese vocals.
I don't know if it's really a good idea, but don't you think listening to a song in its entirety (without pause) while reacting before going at the beginning to detail it would also be interesting ? I view songs like stories, and sometime re-reading a story allows you to see it in a different light because you already read it once.
It's kinda nuts how wrong the lyrics are on the video you reacted to lmao. NOthing on the creator of the video, simply a product of being released before the official lyrics were available for the songs.

Please don't say you're sorry for geeking out about music! I love learning more about music through your videos
fire content, i love how youre so interested in music and it's composition. You really have a passion for it and its awesome
Thx!

True rant, I think if more people started listening to this music, they wouldn’t understand what Naoki and Daisuke are making 😂, truly beautiful.

Gravity is also my favorite one from his videos. Made me appreciate the song way more than what I used to do
@@AidenR19
Same dawg!
Why everyone requesting any song but love the subhuman self 😔😔
with patience
No clue. Be the change!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts YOURE RIGHT
One of the less interesting songs composition wise. Not that it’s bad; it’s just normal.
We just need more AISHA in general, tho I understand that the songs that she ends up singing is not always the cup of tea of people who enjoy the rest of the tracks.
I do love the journey we've been on here exploring Strive music but I do also find it kind of funny how much more there is to still potentially cover.

Lets goooo, nice breakdown of the music, learned a lot
🤘🤘
Loved your reaction and analysis!!
Next guilty gear one I recommend either "Extras" or "Love the Subhuman Self", i think you'll love both
I do really want to see him do Extras. I feel like he would enjoy Rock Parade, though.
i keep saying this, extras is cool but if its anything elphelt it needs to be marionette
I know you said there shouldn't be a tier list for this soundtrack but we would love it in the future if you ever did an overall soundtrack review or stream where you listen to the songs again with second thoughts ❤
Also, thanks for providing the absolute highest level of music analysis and music appreciation on RUclips. You're the GOAT!
Ah another reaction keep it up man :D
Lol that's what happens on this channel
Cant wait for you to cover “Roar of the Spark”and “Extras” 🤩
I hope you can listen to "Love the Subhuman Self", "Extras", "Roar of the Spark" or "Play the Hero" soon.

Love when you go on a little rants about music. You have a great perspective, that is why your videos are such a blast to watch 😃
Keep at it!
It's so obvious in every single fiber of Guilty Gears' being, it is and always has been a true passion project from Daisuke
I'm going to wait for a patreon subscription. I'll wait patiently and see if I need to ask for "Find your one way" myself or not and make it the last one heard. I mean, I'm one of the five people who have it as their favourite GG strive character theme so... It can wait...

awesome analysis!! def one of my favorites from ggst, glad to know why it feels so unique
Hellyea
So glad he's connected with GG music.
Love how these videos arent just an analysis but you can learn stuff too. Always appreciated.
Glad to see more Guilty Gear request haha, they're still so much to hear though!
I love your content, keep it up!
Love the Boston hoodie, keep up the banger videos my goat🙏
If you ever wonder why it has the title, look at his glasses, where on the glasses does the targetting laser come from again?
I love Tangent Tony
Also, I don't think Daisuke would object to the Soundgarten/Tool/Nirvana comparisons at all. I feel like it's very intentional

The double time is fun too! Love the swing compared to the triplets. Makes me want to try and compose and add some of these ideas!
This sort of analysis is a refuge for intelligence within RUclips. Much appreciated.
MY FAVORITE GUITY GEAR SONG FINALLY!!!
Finally did the American theme song of GGST!
Yesssss he did my absolute favorite one from strive! I was worried this one would be way later since I feel like it's kinda underrated
YESS!! I have been waiting so long for this song!!!
I like how you predicted the laugh at 9:53 at 6:35 😄
Can i recommend a song? It's "Gento" by SB19 and its super cool, i love both your reactions and this song so it would be nice🎉‼️
up fr
There are so many good ones left in strive. Excited to see ya do "The Town Inside Me" and "Love the
Subhuman Self"
Listening to some old guilty gear would be cool af too. Like "Awe of She" or "Holy Orders" would be sick as well.
Dont forget Ride the Fire.
I’m so glad you covered this track! When I first heard his theme, I got big country fried rock vibes. Am I totally off with that?
Sounds right to me 🎶
Its like metal blues.
Secretary of absolute defense = System of a down
But the riff is more like Pantera or Machinehead. Always seemed weird to me..
Honestly needed this reaction, always tought the Kiss of Death was one of the most meh songs of Guilty Gear, but now I am noticing all the subtle changes and adjustsments that now make me headbang WAY more than I tought I would to this song XD
Extras is the best theme in the game 💯
A Tony video where he lets the song rock for a minute 40? That’s new
I am very glad I discovered your channel. I am listening your analysis of great VMG as I go ride by bycicle to keep my muscles powerful.
