I was actually the one who requested that GaMetal cover Theme of Laura. I pointed him to this video and mentioned to him how it be really cool if he included the full extended solo and low and behold he did. It all comes full circle
Hey brother, the day we all thought never would come, is here... I believe this is also thanks to guys like you who tried to reach out to Akira and kept alive this gem, maybe he didnt answer but I think is no coincidence this new version's got the guitar solo, he didn't need to add it. As soon as I listened to the new version I thought about your mix. Cheers brother.
Finally Akira Yamaoka deigned to put the part of that solo that is in your extended version bro. Before he uploads it himself, for me your version is the best by far
@@nicowarhier3635 100% he won't. Nobody is interested in extended 'anything' anymore really. Not many even know what this franchise even represent, let alone the soundtrack. And, lastly, Akira Yamaoka won't even bother to reply my messages for the past 9 years, not that I bothered or "harassed" him or anything. Its usually like this with these musicians e.g. I've sent all of my Jazz 2 remixes to Alexander Brandon. Guess how many replies I got...
Amazing! Thanks for making the great effort of making this song even better! I cant' stop listening to this version now. Such a great solo and nice calm ending. THANKS!
yo lo sabia! sabia que había una versión extendida del tema original cuando vi los trailers del juego. una lastima que nunca haya salido una versión oficial, pero estoy muy feliz de que años después (casi 11 años) alguien se fijo en ese detalle y lo pueda escuchar ahora. cuanta nostalgia, para mi el mejor silent hill siempre será el 2 :)
Kind of reminds me of one extended version that was paired with a video of the game made years back (like not long after SH2 first came out). And while it would be cool to see the talking parts (and those monster noises and the scream) cleared out, it's not a bad fit for this. This is such a great song, and it stinks Akira never officially released the extended version, that added solo is just outstanding.
I'm here after SH2 Remake has been officially confirmed. So pumped and hopefully we can have a crystal clear version of this extended mix now. And Akira Yamaoka san is returning for this Remake which makes me all the more excited.
@@shadowboy2818 I'd have liked to hear the full version of Theme of Laura in the trailer too, but you can briefly hear a riff of the theme about halfway through the trailer, so it is clear that Yamaoka hasn't forgotten about this masterpiece.
@@TheMastersForm yeah i did hear a creepy version of the riff too actually...But it didn't feel like what silent hill usually sounds...Sh2's ost doesn't usually try to be creepy or spooky...which is why I think its distinctive compared to other osts in horror games in general...
I knew about the one guitar solo, but the one at 34 was incredible. I really wish Akira would go out of his way to find a way to get a hold of a clean sample of that.
Fuck it, I’m going to tab it out at some point, my skill level is progressing to where I should be able to get that fancy little sweep picking thing down
Every time I hear the original Theme of Laura somewhere, I always have to come back here and listen to this 'complete' version instead. God, those epic Yamaoka solos and then the acoustic outro is just the cherry on top of it all 😩
"James, honey. Did something happen to you? After we got separated in that long hallway? Are you confusing me with someone else? You always were forgetful. Remember that time at the hotel?"
Thank you so much for creating a full mix of the song. Although one criticism I have is that it should have ended after the final solo instead of repeating the main riff after that
you mean this ruclips.net/video/jhogSvmJ57k/видео.html I found it apparently this was the one that had horrible audio distortions and what not I wish there was a clean version of it avianle
Athina Chann Actually it looks like the rooms on both sides are a reflection of each other, so it symbolizes that they apart from each other but still it all comes back to James past in the room and why he's there.
As someone who grew up obsessively listening to those specific trailers before the game released, I just want to say that the trailer bits only enhanced the experience for me. If you'd left in the "Mary...could you really be in this town?" at the end of that announcement trailer portion at the end, it'd have been cool, but I respect your decision not to.
Now that Silent Hill 2 Remake has been officially confirmed and trailer is out, hopefully we can have a clean version this time. And Akira San is returning again for this Remake.
@@DJRevan it wasn't destructive either, why get triggered? I like the song as much as you, but it took me out of experience when the extended part started in a different place. 😅
LIsten to this awesome cover guys from GaMetal: ruclips.net/video/adi-y4shQlQ/видео.html
Perfect! thanks

@@RevolverAxolot Thanks man, it gave birth to a magnum opus cover
Good cover
I remember years ago you said you wanted to make your own cover of this, do you still plan on doing that?
This is the best we have at the moment. But GaMetal and you are kool for doing this.
Akira Yamaoka has finally released the full solo version in his channel after years of waiting!!😭
Yeah, I've heard it. At this point the Gametal and even my version is better than that tbh., it sounds WAY different then it should.
@@DJRevan I listen to your version quite a long time, for me those noise during the extended part already become part of the music🤣
@@lewhao8826 Haha, appreciate it!
@@DJRevan 😄You're welcome!
I don't care for the interrupted bits, I come here everyday because I like the solo
There is no “bad parts” all good
@@Dafungle exactly
Bad parts? That doesn't happen with the great akira yamaoka
@@Suteri3400 come on, you know what I mean by that
Honestly its come to the point that I kinda like the voices and dialogue during the solo
Someone should send this to Akira Yamoaka and ask If he really does have a clean version of this somewhere.
That would be awesome!
twitter.com/akirayamaoka
I tried reaching out to him on Twitter a few days ago regarding this, no luck.
@@BeingTheBear Tried to reach him on FB to no avail...
imagine if he still has the original recording
i hope someone ask him on the future
THEY FINALLY PUT THIS VERSION IN THE REMAKE! Theme of Laura 2 has surpassed expectations as it usually does.
Though it only has a minor role, the violin makes this piece what it is. Both haunting and saddening - - perfect for James Sunderland.
I get goosebumps where the violin kicks in. It's so. Pretty. And heartbreaking. It's wonderful.
The violin plays the Leit Motif of Silent Hill, that melody is present in various tracks of the OSTs from the games!
the silent hill 2 soundtrack genuinely makes me feel so content and euphoric, and i don't know what about it that gives me so much happiness.
Hey brother, the day we all thought never would come, is here... I believe this is also thanks to guys like you who tried to reach out to Akira and kept alive this gem, maybe he didnt answer but I think is no coincidence this new version's got the guitar solo, he didn't need to add it.

Thank you for that! Although as far as I know Akira had nothing to do with the remake, or am I wrong.
@DJRevan thankfully that's not the case. Check it out yourself
Finally Akira Yamaoka deigned to put the part of that solo that is in your extended version bro. Before he uploads it himself, for me your version is the best by far
Thanks!
are you talking about theme of laura II
With the remake coming, I hope Mr Akira Yamaoka release this full song officially 🙏 !
Ong bro
God hear you
Well... but we know he won't.
@@DJRevan Do you think he wont or do ýou really know he wont? :o
@@nicowarhier3635 100% he won't. Nobody is interested in extended 'anything' anymore really. Not many even know what this franchise even represent, let alone the soundtrack.

I honestly like the monster noise and the voice lines from the game being in there.
Damn dude, you did an excellent job stitching the sources together. 100% seamless, didn't even notice until the voices showed up and faded away.
Best version ever. I'm sure Akira has the full tapes on a hard drive somewhere. Oh well.
if there is something I could ask to Yamaoka Sensei would be why he didnt use this E3 Trailer solo version :'(
like why didn't he use it in the intro? probably because it would've been too long
There's actually a trailer with a longer guitar solo than the E3 version. ruclips.net/video/AH1aHu6y3eA/видео.html (The sound quality is shit though)
Yup, thats the on where i got that part.
Jordan Martel v
That outro is such a perfect finishing touch
I don't think I've ever listened to this and not gotten chills. Excellent work.
Always will.
@@gorecelaintm7682 Thank you!
From 5:13 to the end makes me totally teary eyed. I want to go back to Silent Hill.
2:56 this solo is great as if you're riding a motorbike and taking a fast trip
the guitar solo has been included in the new version
4:13 to me that is the best part. The way it transitions it's so gooood
Amazing! Thanks for making the great effort of making this song even better! I cant' stop listening to this version now. Such a great solo and nice calm ending. THANKS!

yeah we're shit out of luck unless someone like yamaoka has the clean extended version.
Fuck it, I’m going to tab it out at some point, my skill level is progressing to where I should be able to get that fancy little sweep picking thing down
Andrew Jones pls do! I was thinkin about getting a professional to record it in a studio if it can be done... I’m not a musician, so I don’t know.
@@RNVRGL I give no promises on the time line
@@23ADJ93 create a crowdfunding project, I know we are not the only guys that would like to make this happen
Esta es la version definitiva te la rifaste realizandolo bro me encantó
You did a really good job with the timing there.
The full solo guitar part is AMAZING!
Listening to this is like experiencing Silent Hill 2 again for the first time. It's like a part of it that we've never seen. Fantastic video!
Thank you DJRevan , it was way better that the final :)
I'm in love with this. thank you
I absolutely love this version, good job
Oh man this is beautiful! Great work on the video I love this song!
Did anyone ever get there hands on a clean version for this, I'm still here hoping it will come one day
Akira does not reply to me on FB. I don't see what else I could do...
5:15
God, I love that part, it's so haunting yet so beautiful
I still wish for that outro bit to be acknowledged by yamaoka. to hear this full thing would fix me
same here, although not much hope is left that it will ever happen...
Love that you included the trailer outro!! ❤
Honest to god this is a once in a lifetime thing..
This music is Pure Art ❤️😍❤️
Every time I hear the original Theme of Laura somewhere, I always have to come back here and listen to this 'complete' version instead. God, those epic Yamaoka solos and then the acoustic outro is just the cherry on top of it all 😩
For anyone looking for a cleaner version of the solo GaMetal did a pretty amazing cover.
Thank you!!!
终于找到这个版本了，吉他变奏版，谢谢作者的上传❤❤❤
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
i dont know where this version been all these , but the melody at the end wraps the whole thing in a nice bow
*This right here is a GREAT work! Thank you! ❤*
thanks your great work~ I appreciate your work~ Silent Hill 2 soundtrack is a masterpiece !
"James, honey. Did something happen to you? After we got separated in that long hallway? Are you confusing me with someone else? You always were forgetful. Remember that time at the hotel?"
Maria?...
Petition Yamaoka to release the full cut 😂
He's not even responding to my messages...
one of the best things ive ever heard
great job man!
Thank you so much for creating a full mix of the song. Although one criticism I have is that it should have ended after the final solo instead of repeating the main riff after that
That extended solo though, I couldn't find a clean version of it anywhere.
@@ArghyadeepPal Yeah, it's a shame, since the solo sounds amazing
Masterpiece
They botched it, with the HD collection.
From an Xbox trailer which seems to have disappeared from YT...

THANK YOU
Love it!
Thank you, this is awesome!
I hope the solo guitar will be included in the new version
I was driving when I got to 3:00 and thought something was wrong with my car...how embarrassing 😳
Excellent Remix, I love it.
It’s not a remix, it’s the original full length version that was never added to the final cut.
Sorry this is a day late, but happy 20th anniversary, Silent Hill 2.
Someday I'll play this version
L.i ♡
I love this image composition he's in the cell because it's his prison and consolation story
I like it too
I said, Who is really in the prison is Maria but with this angle look like really James is there
Athina Chann
Actually it looks like the rooms on both sides are a reflection of each other, so it symbolizes that they apart from each other but still it all comes back to James past in the room and why he's there.
Personally I like it with the trailer sounds.
would love a clean version of this
Me too!
HAIL AKIRA YAMAOKA\m/
지울수 없는 죄책감이란 뭘까요?
그걸 받아들이며 살아갈 수 있을까요?
그렇게 살며 죄악을 느끼는 삶이란 뭘까요?
하고싶은걸 하지 못하고 그저 죽어가는 삶이란 뭘까요?
It starts at 2:56
Gosh, that guitar solo is so hard to find
i hope that motherfucking konami cud someday remake this everclassical game, silent hill 2
Your dreams finally came true

Thank you! Well, I added the instrumental part to the end, that fitted there much better in my opinion.
yoooo where the hell has this been ?????
On my channel, for about a decade now.
I wish this was included in the remake as a finalized version. EDIT: OMG THEY DID IT!!
The middle part is the trailer E3
Wonderfull song.
can u upload a clearer version of this especially in the last part its the best extended/full version
I hope we get the full version with guitar solo on the remake.
I've reached out numerous times to Akira, not a single response, so don't get your hopes high...
He did It man
Hi where can i download the original ?? Just for personal use to lsn in yhe car
You can download it straight from youtube due special sites. Just try typing RUclips into MP3 in google, that might help.
REMAKE JUST GOT ANNOUNCED!!!
maybe can u combine this to the promise ost similar to that of the trailer
Que beleza de música !
Maybe Whang could do a video on it to get traction
From what trailer does the 3:34 bit come from? I've never seen it before.
EDIT: Never mind, I found it: ruclips.net/video/AH1aHu6y3eA/видео.html
That outro...
That guitar solo deserved better, we need its offici version :(
Now that Silent Hill 2 Remake has been officially confirmed and trailer is out, hopefully we can have a clean version this time. And Akira San is returning again for this Remake.
you would be share the tap please??
good
who is here after Silent hill 2 Remake is out?
Wow, never though they would finish it. so do we have the full theme out finally?
@@DJRevanAs I know, sadly, no X'D
Pretty sure that extended part doesn't go there lol
If you can't say anything constructive LOL why leave a comment LOL?
@@DJRevan it wasn't destructive either, why get triggered? I like the song as much as you, but it took me out of experience when the extended part started in a different place. 😅
