Title: We are the dead... THE PROTOMEN LIVE!
Post by: EasyCure on November 10, 2011, 09:53:25 PM
Saw them last night in NYC, one of the best bands I've seen live yet. If anyone is a fan, you owe it to yourself to see them live. If you aren't a fan, have a listen and get ready to become one.
For your viewing pleasure, here's the majority of their set as recorded by yours truly:
The Father of Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29w9ESAAkU)
The Hounds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTU_j2MM6Ts)
EPILOGUE: Due Vendetta (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC3ce2nW-Ek)
and a surprise for any Queen fans out there ;) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVeXcRR8Kdk)
For those too lazy (or unable to watch) here are some stills of the action:

Just discovered this band a few months ago and holy crap they are good. They arent a regular cover band their songs are basically a rock opera set in the Megaman universe. I know i was skeptical at first but it's actually really awesome.
all their songs are on youtube and you can follow the lyrics via this page http://lyrics.wikia.com/The_Protomen (http://lyrics.wikia.com/The_Protomen)

I wasn't skeptical at all when I first heard about them. My thought process went something like this:
Rock opera based on MegaMan? SIGN ME UP!
I've been trying to promote them here on the forums for some time but there doesn't seem to be many vocal fans out there, glad you're one of them though. Here's something I worked on last night that I thought I'd share with you guys:

I Fight Dragons
These guys were also at the show and I never heard of them. They were awesome, albeit in a different kind of way than The Protomen.
Watch them as they perform the soundtrack to Contra while a friend plays the game in the background

Yes, they use nontraditional instruments as well including but not limited to SNES and Rock Band controllers (modded of course)
This last one makes me laugh..
