Fun Fact: Jamie Christopherson (who made the ost) had never made a complete heavy metal composition before this game.

[Jojuiced]

For someone who apparently never worked on a metal OST before, Jamie Christopherson had a pretty amazing start with MGR. I love how the lyrics of the boss themes are there to tell you more about their character, as they don’t really get fleshed out ingame other than Sam.

[brianv]

I love how he instantly picks up that the rift in the Hot Wind Blowing is the same as Collective Consciousness. Really goes to show he understands music

[OriGuyOriginal]

What I've learned: Raiden's true character growth was learning how to change his car's color

[justanotheryoutubewatcher]

I find it absolutely hilarious seeing an entire chat just spamming "LET YOUR COUNTRY CONTROL YOUR SOUL" and we all just nod and sing along.

[rodneybuckentime]

each songs lyrics in MGR tells a story about the character, and some internal struggle they are dealing with. Mistral has never felt like she belonged, Monsoon is a nihilist, Sundowner is a warmonger who only functions in the fight, Samuel is torn between fighting and giving in, bladewolf is fighting with the fact he's "chained" by him being an AI under the control of someone. Also, "It has to be this way" is a mix of raiden and armstrong's struggles. "I've carved my own path, you followed your wrath" could be from either POV because of the senator's brutal ways, but also because of Jack the Ripper existing.

[GreenHam]

For those of you who don't know, he picks the OSTs based on total superchat donations which are listed in a Google Spreadsheet linked in the description. Then, everybody votes on the top 5. If you want him to listen to an OST, that's how it'll happen. Upcoming ones are Mother 1, FF7 Remake, Risk of Rain 2 w/ its DLC, Ace Combat 7, and Persona 5 Strikers & Scramble in no particular order. You can vote in his community posts.

[SomeKindaHero]

This soundtrack is absolutely insane because you actually learn about the bosses more from the lyrics than you do the game

[dead]

Man it's always so refreshing to see a live chat sing the lyrics to a metal gear rising song.

[inakiballesterospolloni]

I think it's fitting that "It Has To Be This Way" is so key variable given the fight with armstrong was all over the place emotionally but not really disorganized

[JJGamer]

Fun fact since the vocals in metal gear rising come in at emotional climaxes it could be considered a musical

[valeon]

Can I just say thank you for doing THE ENTIRE soundtrack. The vocal boss ones overshadow everything, some people don't even know what I'm talking about when I say my favorite song from the game is Dark Skies.
The game has so much more to offer and hearing somebody who actually knows about music and give more technical explanations about its nuances is refreshing!


Also the reason The only Thing I know for real is #2 in the release but 11 in Herr is because you fight the boss it belongs to at the beginning of the game with the instrumental playing, but you get the full glorious vocal package with the solo in the second to last boss of the game

[Bovium]

Jamie Christopherson also made the Toontown Online soundtrack. The range is insane.

[groverwatch]

Watching Dan really is fascinating, because he's one of the only music people I watch who are visually just as expressive as the music he listens to.
It's also really funny, watching chat devolve into memes and song lyrics; it really is the perfect display of mankind's duality

[spiderdude]

Fun fact:

All the main cyborg antagonists in this game have references to wind in their names or themes.

Monsoon- a type of seasonal thunderstorm in desert areas

Mistral- a type of cold northwesterly wind that blows down from France to the Mediterranean

Sundowner- in his theme it refers to desert updrafts that birds of prey use to glide

Jetstream Sam- the jet stream is a stable fast moving air current that persists blowing across the continental United States

[raidenmei]

The only thing I know for real is listed as track 2 because there's an early game "boss fight" (you're scripted to be forced to lose) where the instrumental version plays. You fight the same boss later in the game for real, and that's where the full version with lyrics plays.

[atius]

25:35 Me Hearing "Stains of Time" for the first time

26:26 when Monsoon Jumped down and the Lyrics Kicked in thats the Moment i fell in love with this Game

Metal Gear Rising is a Game Everyone should alteast play once. It is Truly a Masterpiece

[jebus]

39:30 it’s track number 2 because the instrumental version plays very early into the beginning of the game when you fight the boss for a guaranteed loss. You hear it with vocals closer to the end of the game where you fight the boss again.

[Silverkull]

fun fact Collective consciousness fits 1:1 with All I Want For Christmas
edit: this is doing a lot better than I thought it would
