[DramaNoMore]

(this is already a winner, so I can exagerate)

I HAVE JUST BEEN ENLIGHTENED!

(My first first post. Yay).

[Mirby]

This is rockin'! The segment starting at the 2:10 mark is EPIC! Seriously, my theory is now fact! 2008 will be a magnificent year for remixes!

[Hale-Bopp]

Awesome mix. Production is scary good. The Gods of All Things That Rock are grinning maniacally down upon you, musicalman.

Also, Dave's write ups are perfectly Solid as usual.

(sorry)

This is my most listened to remix since it won DoD in January. Big fan of it, it's super clean and really spices up the sneaking theme to MG. Great stuff, look forward to hearing more.

Ok, that's a bit freaky, I was listening a few hours ago to the astonishing "Metal Gear Solid Legend of the Snake OC ReMix" by Ruben Kee (May he Rest In Peace ), and I was thinking that Its been a while since there's been a Metal Gear or MGS remix....and there it is!

Fantastic job musicalman!! The power is there and the feeling as well!! It's just amazing!

Great ocremix ^^

Good Continuation Dude!

Cheers!

[musicalman]

Thank you all for your comments about my remix... i really appreciate your warm welcome on Oc!

cheers! Pascal

[KyleJCrb]

What is it with dudes with the name Pascal? Why must they rock so much?

[Argle]

Awesome track! Great production! Rockin' stuff.

[Martin Penwald]

The beginning is hilarious. Great idea.

All in all a very solid rock track with nice breakdowns, e.g. around the 1:30 mark. Very good use of voice clips, too.

The end was handled quite well, too.

[Jaybell]

this is all kinds of awesome, all kinds!

[Tziufu]

This song is very addictive. Great job, and thank you.

[Mistle]

Clean mix, impressive arrangement. Although, for some reason, i get a distinct Michiru Yamane feel from the guitar work. Maintains a bit of semblance to the classic structure of a military march, but deviates in the best possible way.

Definitely looking forward to more submissions like this one.

[OceansAndrew]

When I first heard this one at DoD, I thought "Virt? Viiiiiiirt!!! Why did you redo your song from a few years back?"

After a few listens, though, it was pretty clear it was a different guy altogether doing a somewhat similar song on the surface, but underneath, there are a lot of unique differences.

The guitar playing on this is beautiful, great emotion and some good chops to boot, a few sections that seemed a little sloppy, but it's solid (lolz) where it counts. The chorus sections are excellent, and really help make the song great.

Arrangement and flow are excellent, with the vocal samples and sound efffects used to add punch to transitions in a tasteful and cool way. It kicks up the song a lot, and the varied soundscapes and colors are great.

This one is great, I wish there was some more from Musicalman all up in this.

[glasfen]

Excellent ReMix. Just... excellent. Even though I'm not a big Metal Gear fan, I've had the mix stuck in my head all day and it's been great.

Nice work, musicalman! Any more in the works?

[Wild Armor]

I found this track to be very catchy. Good tune here

[Marmiduke]

The intro and the outro couldn't be more different, which I don't really care about, but I find the intro interesting seeings as it seems to suggest one direction for the mix straight out, and then it's thrust into quite another. In terms of melody, I strongly, STRONGLY agree with the direction taken.

The ending turns this mix into what was above average into top-tier stuff. Great guitar, great arrangement, great everything. Love it.

[Liontamer]

Awesome intro. Needed stronger brass, but that was about the only weak link that stuck way out. Loads of strong dynamics here, led by Pascal's axe!

[pixelseph]

Feels like an 80s film opening on the intro. Great guitar tone and playing too! The more modern scoring a la Harry Greggson-Williams is a welcome addition.

[DarkeSword]

Just really solid guitar work on display here. Fantastic dynamics on this one. Love that part in the middle where the energy comes down a bit. Guitar solo is killer, tasteful use of vox. Really great.

[Dyluck]

Operatic-classical fanfare to start and straight into headbanging-worthy slaying of the Metal Gear theme. MGS and Greggson-Williams meets oldschool. Great understated but featurable vox that's relevant and not overdone. Killer ReMix...pity we don't have too much here from Musicalman. Come back to us!

spelling....

[Xaleph]

Synths are super cheezy but the guitar and drums really carry this piece.  The 1:30+ part really adds some great dynamics.  I also liked the double guitars at 2:50ish.

[paradiddlesjosh]

Virt took a solid intro BGM and sent it to Outer Heaven with this one. Tasty guitar work, solid rhythm section, killer arrangement through and through!

[MegaMixtape]

This remix goes way harder than the original! Some of the samples sound dated to me, but his performance and arrangement shine through, no doubt. First time listening to Musicalman's stuff, but I'm gonna go check out the rest of his stuff.

[derezr]

This Metal Gear remix rocks ? The vocal samples used were just right. Really fun.
