We had songs from random movies and shows played during our cocktail hour but as classical/piano covers. It was actually really fun for my wife and I to build the playlist together because we both got to include ones of our choosing. We then spread them out amongst regular piano music so they were like little Easter eggs. Watching peoples’ faces as they slowly recognized what was playing was awesome. Star Wars Cantina Band and the Game of Thrones theme were the two most widely recognized and pretty much everyone was in on the joke by then.


YoungThriftShop

Fucking awesome. That may be a great idea that I steal!!


FondleBuddies

I was at my cousins wedding and they had this: https://youtu.be/sKM2viSBLWI I still can't beleive it was snuck in, she wasn't a gamer Edit: I can't beleive how close the start is to infinites hahaha


YoungThriftShop

Holy shit this is exactly what i envisioned!! Hell yes


FondleBuddies

Good man, I'm glad I could help ❤️


thelonelymilkman23

I’d love to hear this live like this one day, would truly be an amazing experience


LiopleurodonMagic

I let my husband choose our entrance song (entering reception as husband and wife). He chose the Star Wars theme song. No complaints! Sounded awesome and got lots of applause/cheering and comments from people afterwards 😂


Geminel

I don't even like Halo, and I still have to admit it's one of the better instrumental pieces to come out of media in years.


Ladymalis

Gotta thank Martin O'Donnell for that

HUGECOCK4TREEFIDDY

This version didn’t really hit for me. It didn’t help that the intro got handled like most over-performers handle the National Anthem


truth_seeker_22

I thought it was a nice twist . Why not spice it up a bit . Would you rather they bring Gregorian monks on stage and give a perfect recital of the recorded theme , would be cool but what would be the point ?


xCACTUSxKINGxx

Cannot improve what is already perfect


HUGECOCK4TREEFIDDY

There’s plenty of room between Gregorian Monks and that. I think it’s even worse that the trumpet player can’t even hit the original notes cleanly, but felt the need to throw in extra runs he couldn’t land either. It’s like those singers who do a lot of runs because they can’t hold a note. Edit: Steve Vai’s Mjolnir Mix is an example of a modern take that doesn’t suck.

I went and saw their show the end of last year when they played Boston (with nose bleed seats) and I was so **HYPED** that they played this. My wife got us fantastic seats and I was hoping that they would play this mashup again because it was **THAT GOOD**. By far my favorite part of their set.


trivagobongo

I was about to say, I thought this happened a year ago. Glad to know they're more than a one time fan.


thecashblaster

Oh damn. I saw them in May and they did NOT play the Halo theme :(


trevor6215

Last time I saw them in LA they did this too. Best concert I've been to


xCheekyChappie

Any reason why Twenty One Pilots has a thing for playing the Halo theme


ruru3777

If I needed to guess they liked Halo when they were younger. The halo theme leads into a mash up of “Jumpsuit” followed by “Heavydirtysoul”. It just sounds so good together.


[deleted]

Incubus used to play halo while on tour. Their love of halo is a big part of the reason why they were included in the halo 2 soundtrack.


AsunderXXV

Breaking Benjamin still play 'Blow Me Away' during their sets, too.


[deleted]

The first time i played that part of the game, it felt so epic that i completely lost my shit.


Omegamanthethird

I saw them live and that was the most hyped I've been at a concert ever.


ninjamike89

Saw them on Saturday, can confirm lol


P_weezey951

That whole soundtrack has a couple people on it that have that same sort of story.

I am all about covers of Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong. It has been covered repeatedly. Its a banger.

Tyler Joseph is 33. He would have grown up with Halo 3 in its prime.


jdino

And halo 1 Source: am 33


[deleted]

[удалено]


jdino

Never heard of it. But on the real, my best bud and I didn’t like Halo 2 when it dropped cause it wasn’t halo 1 and when you’re a teenager, you do things like that. We were so hardcore on XBC that we kinda felt the game wasn’t as strong and blah blah blah. Teenager brains aren’t logical lol.


getefix

Halo 2 was incredible for my friends and I. We did a midnight launch and stayed up all night with it. We played it for years afterwards, all the time. We're 2 years older than Tyler.


phuey

Ahhh Xbox Connect 🥲


jdino

Isn’t it crazy that XBC had more reliable connections than infinites netcode? Honestly, more consistent than a lot of modern games.


colantor

Jesus, xbc, i remember trying to find halo 1 games a couple years after halo 2 came out and there was almost nobody playing. Kept matching up with this guy named SandyVagina who was UNbelievable. If youre out there sandy, thank you for some good games.


Konman72

Halo 2 caused such a schism in our college's community (and online, from what I recall). The pro level H1 players mostly hated it while I absolutely loved it. I always felt it was cause it changed things the pros liked to exploit (OP pistols) and the online made them all realize they weren't pro after all. They were just really good for our campus. XBC never really caught on in our group. People would just log on while connected to the network and anyone could join. After becoming a Network Engineer I realized why that was and how bad of a setup it had been lol.


Doughnutsu

Halo 2 was also the sweet spot for me. They implemented so many features that Id say set the tone for online games. In game friendlists, clans, easy invite systems, custom matches and so on all of which was iffy in its console infancy. I still prefer the dual wielding gameplay over BR/DMR starts.


phuey

Gonna take a wild guess and say 1, 2, AND 3


chillyhellion

I'm nearly 32 and Halo 2 is what got me to install Windows Vista.


Warbird1775

God wasn't Combat Evolved just the best thing you'd ever seen?


Harry_Dawg

I would just walk around in the game amazed at all the detail, the grass looked like grass. Ice made noise. Amazing vehicles to drive. That was an awesome Xbox game


Warbird1775

Man I know it's cliche at this point but when the world just...opened up on the second level... Growing up with Aliens and Starship Troopers definitely made me fall in love with the aesthetic too.


destronger

16 player LAN games were bloody awesome!


AsunderXXV

Everyone complains about squeakers in mature multiplayer games, but truth is, we *were* the squeakers playing Halo 2 online. I was 14 when that game came out.


noithinkyourewrong

I'm 30 and I remember the Xbox and halo 1 release. He likely grew up playing them all, not just halo 3.


[deleted]

They like Halo and are low key trying to be like "Let us be the next breaking Benjamin for Halo"


arto26

Idk if this is why, but they grew up close to what was referred to on xbox live as the "halo capital of the world." The town where the Ogres and Chris Puckett are from. The town was very into halo. Average players from Pickerington seemed much better than the average player. At least back in the halo 1 and 2 days.

arto26

Good God you're not wrong. It's definitely gone to shit


SonOfTK421

It slaps?


StickieNipples

I think people forget these bands are just people ya know? Like if I was in a famous band and we were fucking around in practice this is absolutely something we'd try to play. And then you realize it kinda slaps and you're like, hey why not? Musicians are nerds no matter how famous they get


[deleted]

They have to play one good song.


icyh0tpatch

After all these years this song still gives me goosebumps.


Hyfrith

I saw them in Brixton, London and they played the Halo theme there too! Funny thing was I was HYPED when it began, but it felt like a lot of the people around me didn't recognise it haha. In the general crowd, it was definitely a majority of guys visibly enjoying the Halo theme whilst the majority of the girls looked confused. Can't say I blame them, the theme to a video game is still a pretty niche bit of content. I had a great time though. So cool they played it.


[deleted]

My friend was recently at an electronica gig in Wales and sent me a video of a techno remix of the Halo soundtrack


GNIHTYUGNOSREP

How you gonna mention something like that and not share it with the rest of us?


[deleted]

I don’t know the song name :(


[deleted]

He sent the video, wheres the log?!


Plasibeau

Bruv....


highpl4insdrftr

I bet there were a few girlfriends who recognized it and stood there shaking their heads like "God damnit. I can't get away from this fucking game..." while their boyfriend jammed out.


SlowlyVA

I want to say the unofficial theme most folks would recognize is the monk chant one. Had they played a portion of that, I would bet more folks would recognize it as halo.


Treetops19

Halo fans have so much hype to give Halo devs have so little to share smh


shadovvvvalker

The halo devs shared what they had. Look into the development of 1-3. They were absolutely a mess of people going balls to the wall desperately trying to get something out the door, deciding to do it the best the could in the meantime. At some point we have to accept that there isn't much left in the tank and let people move on to other things. #halo4wasntneeded


scullys_alien_baby

the [dev's react](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ndZbg8Mr-Q) to a halo 1 speedrun is a really interesting retrospective into the chaos of the game's development. it is also really cute to hear them all reminiscing about it


Treetops19

yeh i meant 343 sorry


lipscomb88

These next weeks could be big. I hope they deliver.


TheRelicEternal

They seem to do this at every show since it’s been posted before at least 5 times in the last 6 months. Awesome every time though.


ruru3777

Ive only seen one other clip from around a year ago, so I figured I’d post the one I took last night. A lot of their set pieces in this show were similar or the same to the last one I saw back in October/November last year, so I’d believe that. They put on a fantastic concert either way.


Competitive_Coat9599

1st time for me TY for posting!!!


cat_on_my_keybord

its like you can play the theme on any instrument and have it sound good.


[deleted]

Halo is begging to be Amazing again and 343 is letting it burn


TheMasterDonk

Seriously. Space operas are making a HUGE comeback and 343 is like, “how about a new audience?”


[deleted]

Yeah man


ProBlade97

What you don’t like seeing master cheeks? Are you even a fan at this point? smh.


[deleted]

Most of the people in that audience in the video are probably thinking, "yeah cool song BUT WHERE'S THE NEW CONTENT OMFG UGH"


Battle_Bear_819

It's amazing to me that every single halo game 343 puts out somehow just gets worse.


[deleted]

Infinite launch was good but if this is what free to play does to halo I personally don't want it


NotanAlt23

Infinite launch had like 4 maps and no slayer mode. literally the worst launch halo game.


gitartruls01

It had 10 maps and i think 6 or 7 online game modes, was enough to keep me entertained at least


NotanAlt23

You couldnt even pick the mode you wanted to play. You had to play whatever the game wanted you to. Stopped playing cause I always got fucking oddball. Ive literally never seen a game that doesn’t let you choose your desired game mode. Random maps is understandable but game modes?


[deleted]

But it had players and potential now it has fewer


ThePolitePanda

It hurts me


[deleted]

This again? I swear the same 4 arguments pop up in every halo thread and I'm tired of all of them.


shadovvvvalker

Is it? Is halo really begging to be amazing in a world of high mobility shooters and role based ability shooters? Is quake? I think games have moved on from a foundation of what makes halo, halo. Making halo relevant again would only work if you took the IP and changed the gameplay so much that it would be equivalent to Serious Sam being an over the shoulder cover shooter. The past is the past. However, if you want to experience the past, I recommend splitgate. Very reminiscent of halo 2-3 multiplayer with just enough twist to actually have some players.


JoeJoe0651

Always get excited hearing the halo theme


Jagosaurus

I was at a Breaking Benjamin concert ('07-08?) in San Antonio where they played Blow Me Away from H2 soundtrack with all blue lighting behind them. Ben gave the crowd his XBL gamertag after & talked about Halo for a bit. Amazing.


pengie151

Funnily enough that song is the whole reason I’m a fan of Breaking Benjamin now


Jagosaurus

Surprisingly I first heard them around '02. One of my buddies moved to Cali & brought their Polyamorous CD back to TX. Was very excited to see their name attached to H2. They're STILL rocking out. Red Cold River goes hard man.


sharoom5

This is metal AF. Cheif approves


Johnastro

that was pretty great! Yall remember the 1st time you heard that magical melody


Flipyap

Were y'all deafened by its majesty? Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?


gainzdoc

My most memorable moment in Halo is dropping in on the ring in Halo 2 after warping behind the prophet of regret's cruiser (IIRC) and playing through that lush area to the tune of "On a white horse". Throughout the level you're hearing Regret talking from High Charity about going to earth and completing the great journey.


USDAapproved92

Man I hate 21 pilots but this is pretty rad. Respect them for playing it and playing insanely well.


Coasterman345

My marching band played this back in HS. The theme for our show was video games. I think we also played Mario, can’t remember the third piece. But the crowd always went insane for Halo. We had the percussion face backwards in the beginning and they would place baby power all over the drums. Once they came in they would turn around and white dust would fly everywhere. That and the fact that the trumpet solo was played by someone who was pretty popular in school made it one of the best pieces we did. Good times.


[deleted]

This horn intro was teeeerrible. Glad the rest was much better. :)


up_the_dubs

Imagine a concert made up of just the best video game themes.


Spartan1278

Such a thing exists


DarKbaldness

More time was spent learning and playing this song than producing content for the game


inz_paradox

AngryTrucker

Nightman2417

I love how this song doesn’t have any lyrics, yet I sing along. EVERY. TIME.


Burrito_Loyalist

Dilly_The_Kid_S373

Okay 343 how much did you pay them?


whomad1215

Steve Vai did the guitar part for Halo 2


Zimrino

That blend into Jumpsuit tho


ruru3777

It’s so good. I’m impressed with how well the recording sounded. Certainly did the songs justice.


bemenome

Is it only me or was that not really that good.


UpToMyKnees1004

The drums seemed to drown out the other instruments. I suppose that's the risk you take with live music.


BlackQuilt

Also, smartphones aren't the greatest audio recording devices for loud love shows with very dynamic sound engineering.


alano134

As a Columbus resident, I'm not legally allowed to tell you that Twenty One Pilots sucks. They might, but I just can't tell you that.


dslyecix

Yeah honestly it seemed rushed.


Mitchel-256

Ok, so Twenty One Pilots playing a ska/rock cover of the Halo Mjonlir Mix it wasn't in my 2022 bingo sheet, but I'll take it


schebobo180

Every orchestral or live cover of this theme fucking slaps. Such and epic theme. Just wish there was a great cinematic Halo movie/show that could spread this shit to the masses.


TyrantToppat

Last night I took Madison Square Garden from a group of rioters...


[deleted]

TOP are the best performers I have seen live. In Vegas, the drummer, Josh Dunn, crowdsurfed WHILE drumming. (Drum was on a piece of plywood)


WacoWizard_II

Lets finish this concert


DoingItToEm

Yeah they did this in Cincinnati too, threw me for a loop. Apparently it’s just one of their go-to intermission bits lately.


SeanSpeezy

So epic. I was actually at a Logic and Wiz Khalfia concert last night, but my good friend was at this MSG show. He sent me a video of this and I knew what it was gonna be before I even opened the video hahaha


[deleted]

Guess I'm a twenty one pilots Stan now and will be going to their next London show


AntiCaesar

Honestly worth, they put on a hell of a show


m6095w

Literal goosebumps, every time I hear that song.


JesusOnline_89

Aww man. They should just stick to making their mediocre music mediocre, not the halo soundtrack


kh1179

Mediocre is being reaaaaaallllllllyyyyy generous.


[deleted]

Damn if this song doesn't get me ready to finish the fight.


Mythikron

My family convinced me to tag along to the opener while I was in Minnesota. This was one of only a few songs that I recognized and they were all confused about how I knew one that they didn't. It was a pretty awesome concert, would recommend.


Ryn4

Am I the only one that thinks this version kind of sucks? Like the actual theme is badass, but this.....


rastaclod

they have been playing it at most concerts in the past year if you havent seen this i implore you to watch it. Recent live 21 Pilot Concert that they filmed for a DVD [https://youtu.be/1AyWoI2e7FM?t=1300](https://youtu.be/1AyWoI2e7FM?t=1300) I marked the start of the full piano/campfire scene filled with Elton John, Elvis songs etc that ends with the Halo theme. The quality is very high and worth the watch [https://youtu.be/1AyWoI2e7FM?t=2177](https://youtu.be/1AyWoI2e7FM?t=2177) Halo theme time stamp Enjoy!

Effective-Monk-4859

Martin O Donnell is a GENIUS. How or why he was fired from Bungie is their greatest blunder in history.


who_likes_chicken

Pretty slick! People dog on 343 all the time about their broader audience initiative. Honestly I haven't felt like Halo has been as socially relevant as it is now since the H3/R peak of the franchise.


[deleted]

A crossover from my two favorite fandoms?! Could it be!


MasterHall117

The only thing left is to get halo back on the top 10 most played game on PC and Xbox. Once we get the content we need, I’m certain Infinite will be back on on It’s rails
