I've never seen them live, but I bought Act I on CD back in the day and it's SO GOOD. "Unrest in the House of Light" has to be one of my fav rock songs ever.
@@franciscop1192 He can hear his heart beatin' Like a piston in his chest He's a phantom racer, justice in a steel machine of death He'll be right behind you Over and over again He was born to race He would die to win
Seen them about 20 times and been to dinner with them. Any time they are on the west coast I go to every show. Love them. Panther is such a underrated singer.
Gotta love the Protomen, I heard of them thanks to I Fight Dragons almost a decade ago and holy shit they're amazing. Their live album is such an amazing piece of musical work.
honestly, any song they cover somehow sounds BETTER than the original, such as "Because the night" (originally by Patti Smith) and "The Trooper" (originally by Iron Maiden)
You know I am going to go out on a limb here and say that there is a sort of sheer absolute unfiltered raw joy that only a drummer can completely demonstrate when playing their instrument. And I am not saying that that joy doesn't exist among the other instrument players, but the demonstration of that? I mean look at this guy! To see a man love what he does the way this man does? I mean if you are even interested in playing drums for God's sake go get a kit and freakin do it! First time viewer, fan forever! Subscribed!!!!!!!!!! Protomen forever!
Thank you for the cover, it really did cheer me up. I used to listen to the protomen in school, you brought back so many memories. Love the protomen , and love you. - from a 20yo french boy
Fantastic video, just saw them in concert a week before the time of writing this comment. Wish that my homies and I watched this in prep for their concert.
After 10 odd years of being a fan, I FINALLY got to see the Protomen live at MAGFest and you guys… this man is right. They are absolutely insane live. You need to check them out if you can get into a show.
Seen them live twice at a little hole in the wall venue in Oklahoma City. They are magnificent! If you get the chance to see them live then at the end of the set start a chant of "One more song" over and over and then subtly transition to "Vi-et-nam". The drummer was so confused by this.
Would that place happen to have been The Conservatory? I went to two of their shows there and it was insanely hype for such a small place, honestly some of the most fun I've ever had.
@@Crunkman2k YES! I can't remember the years. I think the second time they came was on the Act II tour. They had Urizen open for them and they had this giant trash bag monster that they fought on stage. Can't remember if that was the show with the guy in the gumpy costume or if it was the first time they came to town. Both shows were wild!
@@GryphonIndustrial I don't remember the trash bag monster, but I definitely remember VIETNAM! Think the Night of Queen album was either out or coming soon at the second one.
They’re doing a concert near me next month with a group called Makeup and Vanity Set and I’m seriously thinking of going. Though, I’ll almost certainly going to the Anamanaguchi concert at the same venue a month after.
One of the first times I saw you was on your stream where Light Up the Night came on and you put the shades on singing along then you got a Kazoo out and did the solo. For the life of me can't find it on youtube. Was so awesome to see.
I think it's criminal that it skipped right over keep quiet but continues with might up the night Could you imagine all three being played back to back
I saw them live at Pax Prime in Seattle and it was an unforgettable experience. I've seen Metallica live and I would put the Protomen up there as the cream of the crop.
_When the voice from the shadows calls you_ _When the wind whips past your ears_ _Will you stand when the weight is upon you_ _Or will you go to your knees in fear_ Act III: Coming soon since 2009!
That is the most american water bottle I have ever seen. Jesus. Good on you to stay hydrated and all, but.. still. That's more than a day's worth in a single bottle.
Am i insane or was there another upload of hounds on this channel that is gone now? edit- oh it still exists just wasnt showing up in searches for some reason

Protomen good... very good! Catch them in concert if you can. Trust me... it is completely worth it!
Protomen has become my favorite band and I've found them through you! Thanks man
I'm gonna see them on the 13th!! I'm excited!
@@charlesgossar7865 seeing them myself when they show in Baltimore! Tell me how it goes so I can get even more excited
@@GreyRush absolutely will
@@GreyRush dude, they were amazing live! The band and the crowd were so energetic
FINALLY
MORE RECOGNITION FOR THE PROTOMEN

Thanks.
"There might be a third I'm not sure I haven't really kept up" OH YOU WISH
THERE'S A THIRD IN YOUR DREAMS
IN MINE TOO HOMIE
IN MINE TOO

THE ACT 3 ALBUM! THE ACT 3 ALBUM IS REAL!
YOU FUCKING DID LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, I LOVE YOU
Also thanks Steak Bentley for making me listen to this band
Vídeo so legendary I still watch all of it every few months
Which video the mgs4 one?
@@EeleyeDD yuppity yup
One of my favorite uses of Light up the Night honestly, it's so fucking dope
God bless Steak Bentley for getting people into Protomen
I thankfully had a friend convert me 🙏🙏🙏
The Good Doctor is such a frickin' good song.
I also love their cover of The Trooper from the album "The Cover Up"
love the cover up, and their night of queen is also amazing!
Figured if there's one band that can turn The8bitDrummer into The8BitVocalist, it'd be The Protomen hahaha
Literally my favorite band, hope they release act 3 at some point in the next 5 years.
Facts, same
I feel your pain. I found them on Hipster Please podcast in 2011 and Ive been waiting ever since. It is suffering.
We’re all waiting man 👍
I've never seen them live, but I bought Act I on CD back in the day and it's SO GOOD. "Unrest in the House of Light" has to be one of my fav rock songs ever.
TWRP got me into The Protomen and both are fantastic!
Same
Thanks to phantom racing or something. I found twrp thanks to protomen 😅
@@franciscop1192
He can hear his heart beatin'
Like a piston in his chest
He's a phantom racer, justice in a steel machine of death
He'll be right behind you
Over and over again
He was born to race
He would die to win
Same.
Acts 1 and 2 being Mega Man rock operas is honestly genius.
Act 3 when?
@@WoodenSwordFighter Soon? They've been playing a bunch of new Act 3 songs on their tour, so I imagine late this year is a real possibility.
@@TRENCHESandTREADS They started playing Act 3 songs upwards of 7 years ago
@@partytom4184 Yeah, but they recent(ish) started playing unheard ones at their shows.
@@WoodenSwordFighterAct III is midway through production now!
I got the band randomly suggested to me a while ago and it's probably one of the best things youtube has ever recommended to me
Act II is a monument in the prog rock world, sadly mostly unkown. Fell in love with it immediately.
The Protomen are fantastic. Hoping they go to MAGfest next year. Would love to see them again.
🤞
GOOD NEWS!
GOOD NEWS!
@@driedink stole my comment you bastard-man
"its 4am why on earth you making chocolate pudding? I have lost control of my life"
Their cover of In The Air Tonight is one of the best covers by anyone of anything ever
Seen them about 20 times and been to dinner with them. Any time they are on the west coast I go to every show. Love them. Panther is such a underrated singer.
A good 3 minutes of this video has convinced me that the title is a Factual statement.
I fuckin *love* the protomen. Hearing you play them in 2022 gave me chills
Gotta love the Protomen, I heard of them thanks to I Fight Dragons almost a decade ago and holy shit they're amazing. Their live album is such an amazing piece of musical work.
Wait, there are others who listen/ed to IFD?! Holy shit. A dying breed.
Their queen covers are the reason they are my favorite rock band and queen is second
Their Queen covers are SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
honestly, any song they cover somehow sounds BETTER than the original, such as "Because the night" (originally by Patti Smith) and "The Trooper" (originally by Iron Maiden)
2 years later and i've still watched this particular video at least 40 times.
Love Protomen and watching you enjoy and play along is awesome
Not including Keep Quiet in between Breaking Out and Light Up the Night?? Wild! The best triptych in their whole body of work.
The Hounds is one of my favorites off of this album full of bangers. Its so damn swanky.
You know I am going to go out on a limb here and say that there is a sort of sheer absolute unfiltered raw joy that only a drummer can completely demonstrate when playing their instrument. And I am not saying that that joy doesn't exist among the other instrument players, but the demonstration of that? I mean look at this guy! To see a man love what he does the way this man does? I mean if you are even interested in playing drums for God's sake go get a kit and freakin do it! First time viewer, fan forever! Subscribed!!!!!!!!!! Protomen forever!
you should totally drum with them on stage!! im sure theyd love to have you at a live show sometime, perhaps at a magfest?
Little late to this one but i heard of the protomen thanks to video game high school(2012) and has been my favorite band ever since.
What I love about this one is it's just pure frickin' joy, you're just jamming to the music and have an absolute ball the whole time.
I don't even Megaman and I LOVE Protomen Act 2. I've been wanting to hear you cover Breaking Out and Light Up the Night for ages, thank you!
Act II is one of the best things that ever happened in music.
Stumbled on this video. Reanimator would be proud. Hell of a drummer here, and your love for Protomen is so apparent and infectious.
Couldn't agree more with the title.
I adore The Protomen. It's been way too long since I listened to their albums, thank you for motivating me to give them another listen.
Thank you for the cover, it really did cheer me up. I used to listen to the protomen in school, you brought back so many memories.
Love the protomen , and love you.

I LOVE LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
I absolutly love *Light Up The Night* and *Hounds* . Its sad how unknown Protomen are
I flipping LOVE The Hounds it's my favorite Protomen song
Damn. I love these songs. Definitely have to check them out
listen to hold back the night, its their best song
oh look, another band to binge.
Sad that there's no Keep Quiet, def their best. Great vid
Oh my god. The was the crossover I didn't know I needed. The Protomen are my favorite band of all time and I will always recommend them.
Know them from VGHS, people should give both Protomen and VGHS the love they deserve
This is some damn good recognition for one of the best rock bands people may have heard but not enough have heard of.
Fantastic video, just saw them in concert a week before the time of writing this comment. Wish that my homies and I watched this in prep for their concert.
ACT III IS REAL LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm still waiting
Was introduced to the protomen by your stream and especially love your covers of them, very glad some are uploaded to RUclips to enjoy forever!
11:00 goes HARD
I now have these on my “Absolute Bangers” playlist
Never smashed that like so quickly in my life
After 10 odd years of being a fan, I FINALLY got to see the Protomen live at MAGFest and you guys… this man is right. They are absolutely insane live. You need to check them out if you can get into a show.
Greatest album of all time
Would love for this album to be a Broadway show 🔥
Goodness me too
i do love them. also the megas ^^

@@Crunkman2k Small fuckin' world! still can't even.
You made me realize that I never played a single Protomen song on the drums (I had to sell mine to move) and now I'm sad.
I just LOVE seeing how much this boy is enjoying the music.
Stay happy, bro.
They’re doing a concert near me next month with a group called Makeup and Vanity Set and I’m seriously thinking of going. Though, I’ll almost certainly going to the Anamanaguchi concert at the same venue a month after.
Very very sad I missed this stream- hopefully I'll catch the next Protomen binge.
One of the first times I saw you was on your stream where Light Up the Night came on and you put the shades on singing along then you got a Kazoo out and did the solo. For the life of me can't find it on youtube. Was so awesome to see.
Ya got chops, pal. Recently got obsessed with Breaking Out myself.
Need to listen to more Protomen, literally added their songs to my spotify.
listen to hold back the night, its their best song
I think it's criminal that it skipped right over keep quiet but continues with might up the night
Could you imagine all three being played back to back
the light up the night part is SO good
Oh man, I saw The Protomen, Powerglove, and Danimal Cannon at a show once and it was crazy
listen to hold back the night, its their best song
I saw them live at Pax Prime in Seattle and it was an unforgettable experience. I've seen Metallica live and I would put the Protomen up there as the cream of the crop.
Oh god breaking out is so good!
I've seen these guys live. Fantastic show!
The Wolf Among Us 2 brought me here!
Great Band.Act 2 is one of the best concept albums ever.We are waiting for Act 3.Protomen pls do something.Love from Athens,Greece.
I have been on a protomen binge lately.
Everytime I listen to this song, all I can think of is VGHS.
_When the voice from the shadows calls you_
_When the wind whips past your ears_
_Will you stand when the weight is upon you_
_Or will you go to your knees in fear_
Act III: Coming soon since 2009!
THIRD ALBUM FUCKING WHEN
Yooo protomen
Neat
After watching this I had to sub! Great taste!!
I've been listening since VGHS came out
It's been on my playlist since I first watched it.
Discover this band a few weeks ago
Oh my god PLEASE do more protomen
That is the most american water bottle I have ever seen. Jesus.
Good on you to stay hydrated and all, but.. still. That's more than a day's worth in a single bottle.
I agree. I have been a fan since 2012 I think
The hounds are my fav song
TWRP next!
The best of the best !!
