Watch VGMTogether This Weekend For Live Performances Of The Music From Hades And Paper Mario

Navi is that you..... annoying the hell outa me again. (I love the writers on this site good job Kate)

I imagine a medley or something of the Legion of Stationery would be possible. I mean, have you heard the Juno Sings versions of those songs?

Final Fantasy is really the only gaming music that I'd ever want to listen to outside of the games themselves.

This is gonna be on Twitch? Can't wait for it to cut out mid stream after a DMCA.

Well, you sit around in your pants. I am going to be sitting around in my underwear cause I am not a weirdo.

Or, you know, listen to music from paper mario but better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivv-F-q81tA&ab_channel=TristanAlric

@YoshiAngemon TAPE.

Is the music going to be from other paper mario games? I would love to hear the Super soundtrack.

Knight of the Round looks to be the only true representative of the Heavy Metal genre in this group.

SpeedRun has played with them a couple times. A little computer-dependent and 'modern' for my tastes as far as Metal is concerned, but they're pretty damn good.

The number of solo artists on this is slightly discouraging. But this is coming from a drummer looking for musicians that happen to like old video game music but aren't creeps or flakes, and aren't going to look down their nose at the fact that I've developed a unique talent on my own despite never attending music/art college.

Turns out that's pretty difficult. Anyone out there dig the music of Priest and Maiden and Megadeth as much as Zelda 2 and Mario 3 and Tecmo Super Bowl, and also play guitar? Asking for a friend.

Cool I missed some gaming music for a while, always used VGMRadio for that but since few weeks their stream is dead.

Thank you Kate, for jazzing up what could’ve been a mundane article with your usual flair!

I’m not ashamed to say I’ve loved video game music since Goonies and Super Mario 2 on the NES, and I’ve carried around some of my fave tracks on mix tapes, CDs, iPods, and phones over the decades. I bought the Ori games (just delivered yesterday!), a couple Persona titles, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Celeste, and many more mostly because I wanted to experience their soundtracks. Just the synergy between story and music and player interaction makes so many game tunes unforgettable for me.

Anyway, I like Hades and Origami King music, so if chores and my kids allow, I’ll tune in to the stream this weekend.
Probably in my PJ pants.

@SpeedRunRocks :
@SpeedRunRocks KotR is the biggest metal influence but there are tons of other people who are more solo acts playing this for sure. Check out their schedule page and you'll see a lot on there. Also, that Paper Mario show is really just made up over tons of solo artists who all collaborated together to make it happen. So every single one of them also does their own thing.
I wanted to reply to you though because of the bottom comment about looking for people : "Anyone out there dig the music of Priest and Maiden and Megadeth as much as Zelda 2 and Mario 3 and Tecmo Super Bowl, and also play guitar? Asking for a friend."
Check out the community of dwellingofduels.net, literally hundreds of people who meet your description and have tons of passion for it! They do monthly competitions but the comp part is just for fun. There isn't any more, people are just looking to have fun, get better at their crafts, and pay tribute to the stuff they love. Sounds up your alley.
Also check out "BonusStageVan" on twitch to see a handful of these people play live every month. A bunch of them will in fact actually be at this VGMTogether show. It's all insular, us in the VGM community are a small and tightly knit bunch!

Shame these are so darn late. For me they begin at 10PM.
