Tiny mining town turned big-ass robot city nearly overnight. The rest of the country is probably still using wagons and oxen.

They mentioned a train and a steam engine was the first thing that came to mind. I'm guessing they have a sort of FMA thing going on where everything is colonial but they still have these super advanced robotics for no reason.

Fucking terrible MSPaint fanart achieved.

Now we're just waiting on the slash fanfiction and ED page.

Is that last name canon?

>freedom = DUBSTEP
FUCKING SCENE KIDS, I SWEAR TO CHRIST.

>>20644
I've been trying to listen to dubstep. It's so incredibly bland and I don't know why these kids swear by it.

Well okay they're kids and they have access to mommy and daddys drugs, but other than that, most of it sounds like something from the inside of a tricked out ricer where you can't hear anything except the speakers which are so large that any performance upgrades to the car seem negligible.

>>20651
>>20644

There is a good dubstep. Trust me, I was proven wrong by a friend when I claimed it was all awful. But see, what the kids are listening to is just awful remixes of shitty techno beats and that's what you know as dubstep.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm just defending the good part of the genre. It's MOSTLY awful shit that shouldn't be bothered with.

Where the fuck is Gunslinger.

...
Never mind I like this one better.

When did Starburns join the Protomen? Shouldn't he be busy making more deeply depressing claymation television programs for me?

I just now learned that the periods in K.I.L.R.O.Y.'s name are official. Anyone know if/what this abbreviation is? (i know abbreviation isn't the right word but fuck my brain is fried right now)

HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN PREPARING A COVER ALBUM
i want to hear those delicious songs the way they were meant to be heard ;u;

>>23769
If their cover of Journey's "Separate Ways" is not on that album, I will fucking kill myself.

OH GOSH LOOK WHAT MY BFF MADE ME :D

I started listening to Protomen because of +4, and I will forever love you all for that.

>>23785
Rock on Amigo.

>>23785

>>23770
I thought it was just gonna be Queen covers

>>23792
Never use the word "just" when talking about Queen.

I mean, don't use the word "just" in the sense of "merely" when referring to Queen. You can still use it to refer to justice or as a general intensive.

In fact, do whatever you want.

Okay okay you guys got me

exactly where does one "start" with the protomen?

>>23806
* The Protomen - 2005 - Independent release
* Act II: The Father of Death - September 8, 2009
If you want to do it chronology storywise of a sort then Act II before the First album either way is good. Check the 4chan RS both of them are bound to always be there if you can't find them.

Have they been streaming any of their live shows? I keep forgetting to check...

>>23806
Make sure to read the lyrics/libretto while you're listening as well

http://lyrics.wikia.com/The_Protomen

YES.

>>23869
What is he in relation to the rest of the band? Mascot? Spokesman? Sex symbol?

>>23872
yes

>>23872
He's their MC. He's mostly there to be hilarious/awesome and somewhat of a sex god, yes.

That was for their Queen tribute show.

Also Commander hopping around in a swag bag totally happened.

>always thought Panther looked kinda familiar
>realize he looks like a friend I used to have
>a friend I used to have when I lived in the south
>a friend who'd be right around 23-26 now
...this would almost be exciting if I didn't remember said friend being considerably frecklier than Panther.

So yeah, I popped a boner at that "You forget who plugged this city IN," not gonna lie.

>You guys have seen the video of /v/ singing City Escape, right? Well I got this idea. GRAB YOUR MIC, CHILDREN. BECAUSE YOU GET TO SING LIGHT UP THE NIGHT.

>If you want to be a part of it, just record yourself singing it and send the MP3 to Zolfingtons@hotmail.com and I’ll compile all of the parts into one.

>>24404
Yeah, me too.

>>24417
Actually, I hadn't seen that video, but I looked it up, and it sounds surprisingly good.

So tempted to take part, but...so self-conscious of my singing voice.

Gonna record mine today.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

I can't stop drawing the protomen. i think i'm sick.

>>24596
Hey man, even bigoted dictators have some twisted form of hope.

Well, he certainly HOPED that those damned Slavs would get the hell out of the way to his Crimean Oil reserves....

...And a friend of mine wants Turbo Lover to sing this. I think she is all of the dumbs. But I like the idea of Bakker on dat violin.

Also revisiting the dubstep conversation, DJ Cutman does some damn good stuff. http://soundcloud.com/djcutman/

So guys, Sons of Fate or Here Comes The Arm?

>>25187
Ridiculous question. Sons of Fate is god tier Protomen music. Here Comes the Arm only gets awesome after THIS CIIIITY NEEDS YOU NOOOOOOOW

I saw the name and got all excited it was The Stand related, but then I heard 8-bit music and was very pleased.

The Stand 1986

>>25191
Oh, but how awesome that final part gets...

>>25191
They kind of balance each other out in my opinion. Here Comes The Arm has a slow opening, while Sons of Fate has a slow exit(although I guess a slow exit is incredibly fitting for it).

To get a bit broader, Act I or Act II?
All my friends prefer II, but I'm a firm believer than Act I is miles ahead of II for the most part.

>>25220
I prefer II for it's variety. Act I is good, but it sounds kinda samey throughout.

I find myself going back to Act I way more than Act II. Act II is good, but there's a lot of instrumental dead space on the album.

But this is related to the way I listen to music. I'm not really the kind of person who just sits down to listen to one or two of my favorite songs. I like to stick an entire album on and listen to as much of it as I can. And the places I'm mostly likely to listen to music are walking about or driving.

So if I'm driving, I'd rather listen to an album that has a lot of discrete songs with readily available content, which fits Act I more. Act II has a lot of spaces in it that you really need the liner notes to understand, and it doesn't make for good casual listening.

Also I'm kind of a sucker for the really dirty sound of Act I. "Hope Rides Alone" trips a bunch of my triggers; the radio announcer intro with the "man against world/unexpected revenge" theme with that pulsing, jagged background rhythm blows my mind every time.

>>25191
Also that CITY NEEDS YOU NOW sequence sends chills up my spine every time.

Saw this and thought of you, +4chan

Act II. Despite my previously mentioned love of Sons of Fate, I am of the opinion that the Breaking Out - Keep Quiet - Light Up the Night trio is probably the best music the Protomen have ever made, and Breaking Out is very easily my favorite song of all time. I hate to be one of "those people" who goes "oh god you have to see it live," but ... yeah you do. Just because it really drives home this whole idea that that steady drum beat in the background of all three songs is Joe's heartbeat. Not only that, the whole "Sometimes I just wanna drive until the streets run out" bit will never stop being amazing. The first time I heard it, I nearly cried.

Also, Act II has the motherfucking Hounds, which helps.

Act II has better music, but it's harder to piece together the whole story based on just the song lyrics, whereas Act I was pretty straightforward in that regard.

I think Act II would be a lot better live, but Act I is what I like from what I've seen.

>Day 1 of vocals in the studio. Big question of the day: "Can Raul Panther hit the high F?

My problem is the opposite. I could afford to go, but they seem to be going in a circle exactly three hours away from my city in all directions. New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Gainsville....it's like they're mocking me.
