Great interview. I was 13-14 when I started playing EQ and the music was one of the most memorable part. Truly awe inspiring.

Parkinson is the OG and the best!

They should really make an EQ TV show

I love the halfling town music

Great job, amazing video!

God Bless Jay. 🙏

He has strong composing skills and understands music theory. I hope he gets on more projects in the future.

Hoo boy... I'm getting that undeniable urge again.

My favorite from the original is Sunrise Over Qeynos Hill

Every single day when i logged into the game a chill run through my spine with the 1st notes of the opening theme and still to this day it happens when i listen that music.

So much nostalgia! Amazing interview! Can these songs in the original form be obtained somehow?

Go Nniki!

Brings back soo many memories listening to this music, now im sad 😞

Fabulous episode!

Since you’ve been able to find all these original creators I’d like to put in a suggestion for one more. I would really like to see one about Muse who made the original eqatlas site. Everyone who played the game back in the day used his (or her) maps and likely had binders full of them printed out. They were an essential part of the early game and I’d love to have the story behind them.

Another fantastic video, really enjoyed it! Thanks for the great content you keep making. Kelethin theme is the one and only answer to your question.

This music is a part of my soul now. Awesome to see Jay doing well. Qeynos Hills would be my favorite.

"Solitude" was easily my favorite. Edit: If anyone is interested in a run back down nostalgia lane with a twist, theres a unique EMU server I've been playing on lately. Something like 700 players at peak times. Google up The Heroes Journey EverQuest Emu. It's a blast.

The "fan favorite" for me would be the vendor music

I remember my first time playing when the game first came out. Epic! The music made all the difference! I'm seriously thinking of returning to the game.

great video, probably the main theme

A truly fantastic episode-thank you so much!! One teensy correction: the game credits list Sam Powell as the composer for Scars of Velious. And a couple really interesting facts Jay discussed in a different interview: Ruins of Kunark has no music because the dev team was scrambling to build the expansion quickly and just didn’t think about music; and the music for Shadows of Luclin was hidden in the game for 15 years due to a glitch and no one noticed!

What a legend, the scores were so ahead of their time.

Wow

Thank you Jay for injecting life into the music… great episode!

At 14:50 Jay mentions he is proud of his work, he should be! It still take me back to 1999 today, nothing in gaming hits me like this music does. He is a true legend. The Temple of Marr music was always my favorite, it just takes you away to a far away place.

Crystal would have to be my favorite

In the thumbnail I thought that was Steve Bannon 😂

EQ music is something special for sure. 😊❤

qeynos best song

I love the EQ music!

This is the best vid i have watched online for a Long time! Love the music of my favorite MMO!

I still to this day throw on the EQ soundtrack while doing random things. My favorites are probably the Sea Theme, Akanon Theme, and Kelethin Theme.

OMG that iksar shirt u have is awesome, where did u get it?

Thanks for this amazing episode. As a heavy game music fan (in specific Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy work) the EQ1 pieces are absolutely nostalgic and beautiful to me as well. As a Queens based Bard from 1999 my favourite is The Gates of Qeynos, every time I hear it it give me such an uplifting feeling. But absolute honourable mentions go to Bard's Guild, Kelethin, Sea travel, the Rivervale song and of course the main theme which I absolutely adore. As both the EQ and EQ2 OSTs are available on Apple Music (and Spotify as well I believe), I still listen to them regularly.

That battle music was striking to a newbie!

Kelethin theme, for sure. One of the songs inextricably linked to my childhood.

i honestly stopped listening to the music in everquest when they "revamped" it. i prefer his original intro song that that went minutes for minutes due to the long load times rather than the newever version sounds fuller but is only like a 20 second loop. pass. give me the original late 90s version he composed in full any day.

It' hard to pick my favorite EQ music but off the top of my head I always loved the Felwithe and North/South Ro themes.

This man has had impacts beyond what I think he probably realizes. A few years ago, we used the EverQuest maintheme for myself and best man to walk down the aisle at my wedding, played by a live pianist.

Kelethin and Rivervale are my favorites

Qeynos theme is my favorite by far!

When ever I hear the main theme I am right away spirited back to 99 when I first saw a friend play this game in a net cafe... Before long we had a WHOLE table of EQ players heck we even formed our own 10 man guild to explore the world of Norath. I remember one day when we met up went inside and found three guys sitting at OUR table.. We just stode there right behind these three CS players and watched them for more then ten minutes looking at them getting more and more nervous until one of them asked what our problem were and we just said "You at our table" 15:11 MAIN THEME all the way! XD XD

When i played in 1999, the music was incredible. added so much to the game. started gaming in the 70's, and the original EverQuest theme music is far and away the best. Neverwinter Nights would be second.

Akanon / KFC Theme

13:07 FTW!!!

This is one of the best Everquest videos I have seen. Thank you for producing this video. I always felt inspired by the EQ music. It added the atmosphere and character to each zone. The introduction music when we started the game was memorable and unforgettable. Just listening to the music is like bringing back to memory all the adventures we had in the original magical world of Everquest. So.e players like to listen to music from dvd music while playing, but I always like to inmerse myself in the experience of Norrath, and to do so, I used headphones or turned the volume up with stereo speakers. Thank you, Jay and all the composers that contributed with the music in the game world, and thank you to all those involved in creating EQ, The original player community in the game was amazing.

Nothing beat the first time i logged into EQ on my Wood Elf Ranger hearing Kelethin theme and being simply enthralled by it.

Eqoa Nagafen was a sick fight... he had this debuff against fire resist and HP... would put you slightly above 4k HP as a tank after debuff, and he had a random melee proc that hit for a flat 4k. So so fun... man i miss that game SO BAD.
