  • The INCREDIBLE Tiffany Mann lends her immense vocal talent on our take on the highly requested "Snake Eater" from Metal Gear Solid 3! An incredible tribute to all things James Bond, I was thrilled to give this legendary piece of video game music the sexy jazz orchestra treatment it deserves! The animation style is inspired by the idea that Metal Gear Solid would have made an awesome 16 bit style Metal Slug side scrolling shooter game! Hope you enjoy!
    Also just to say it, this video was recorded about a year and a half ago well before the age of COVID! So no worries about safety

      It sincerely beats almost any theme from the Roger Moore era by a country mile, and even the couple of truly good ones from his era it's still better than (though by much closer margins).

      I know they are working on an MGS movie with Oscar Isaacs, and the director seems to be passionate about MGS. I hope they eventually get to MGS3. I've been obsessed with the idea of a live action Snake Eater since I first played it all those years ago. Gimme Big Boss taking down Cobras one by one, being beaten and battered the whole way through. I always had in my head the film showing the toll it takes on Big Boss, physically and mentally. Give me a scene like in Die Hard where John's feet are torn to shit from glass, and you FEEL every injury from earlier in the movie. THAT would be satisfying 😌👌

      feels a bit off in parts. A *very* nice delicate touch, but lacking power and punch at certain parts where expected... I think it might be the way the sound is mixed.
      Yeah the more I watch I can definitely see her putting the effort in, so it isn't her... Shame.
      They are letting the instruments compete with her singing just a bit too much, when her vocals are supposed to be the spotlight.

    What a thrill
    With darkness and silence through the night
    What a thrill
    I'm searching and I'll melt into you
    What a fear in my heart
    But you're so supreme!
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time there'll be no one else
    Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater
    Someday you go through the rain
    Someday you feed on a tree frog
    It's ordeal, the trial to survive
    For the day we see new light
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time there'll be no one else
    Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater

    The symbiotic relationship with the fantastic music and the seamless animation (for example the snake with the shaker at 0:27) is literary giving me goosebumps

    HOLY SHIT at 3:03 the melody motif of the "I'm searching and I'll melt into you." That was fucking amazing and genius

    This is actual talent. An actual band, a person who is truly a talented vocalist, not the goofy yahoos made famous nowadays because they’re willing to be as ridiculous as possible on social media or in front of a camera. 10,000 thumbs up!

    What a thrill
    With darkness and silence through the night
    What a thrill
    I'm searching and I'll melt into you
    What a fear in my heart
    But you're so supreme!
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time, there'll be no one else
    Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater
    Someday you go through the rain
    Someday you feed on a tree frog
    It's ordeal, the trial to survive
    For the day we see new light
    I give my life
    Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
    In my time, there'll be no one else
    Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater
    I'm still in a dream, snake eater

    the goosebumps i had when her voice starts and then swells just enough to really get the vibe of the phrase of certain lyrics, and how the blend of the band is just right that both singer and band shine perfectly *chefs kiss*

    i love how she lets the intensity of the vocals build up over the course of the song instead of going balls out from the beginning like the original, nice added touch that really makes it stand out from the countless covers of this song. Also black girl magic : )

    Dude this is literally the first piece of music that has brought tears to my eyes. The way she sings is so passionate and the band was on point as well. I can’t express how much I love this. I hope anyone that listens to this has the same experience
