This has a very powerful, very eerie " Phantom of the Opera" feeling. I could see Phineas coming back the same way all the good mad scientist/evil genius types do, as a legend suddenly returned from the dust of ages...
+Jared Defibaugh Do not hope... KNOW he will be back and he will become world Emperor and the Toy Soldiers will march down every street crushing every fascist monster.
+Sewertoad43 The Toy Soldiers don't want to hear anything of the good old Doc. Don't know why, but they hate it, when you're talking about him or his music. They want to stay on their own. I think Rion was such a great singer. Can't believe, that he decided to quitt. I don't like his Cartoon Pin Up's, which he is drawing now. Doctor Steel should come back! >_< But he won't.
What bout loneliness? What about friends? What about winning, and getting Revenge? What about all of the things they have done? Its time for some payback! Its time for some fun!
This was an excellent video to one of my favorite Dr. Steel songs. I don't worry so much that he has moved on to something else. I am just eternally grateful that he recorded three albums worth of fantastic music for me to enjoy. Thanks Dr. Steel!
Wow. I finally decided to listen to Dr. Steel and from watching the video for Back and Forth and this I have come to the conclusion that Dr. Steel is damn amazing!!!
I believe you are both right. Just by hearing his goal I immediately became obsessed with the idea of him and his ideas. Dr. Steel would have been quite pleased, but he isn't just Dr. Steel, he is also the man behind the goggles. That man might not be able to deal as well with this mass following willing to do whatever he says when he says it. He probably didn't want to always be Dr. Steel.
I was just thinking that the song, the lyrics and this video all feel like an intentional farewell on his part. "Don't go away and leave me!" is what I keep saying.
Dr steel fell from up high in his playground of sanity and landed in the sanity of our reality and was absorbed into the fold of it...now dr steel is just like one of us, trapped in our owns pots of insanity believing that we are sane, dr steel knew true sanity but he fell just like everyone else shall
He's not coming back. A recent letter from the man himself basically explains that his life has been fucked over, and he has been forced to remove all trace of his work. Most likely legal issues over something, who can tell. Such a sad, sad end.
The way those doors slam shut at the end. Anyone else think he's been wanting to quit for a long time? This was his final performance as the curtains finally close. Am heartbroken. Can't believe he's finished.
@Ronkarna Actually some good ways is TweakTube for Firefox and then the RealPlayer application, which downloads the video directly from the source, but TweakTube can download it in FLV (normal video) or MP4's. ^^ You could have asked me directly.
@uberspazzcake217 The Toy Soldiers continue on. In his final letter he said he fought hard so that we could remain and carry on his vision and his message.
When Nietzsche spoke of the coming Ubermencsh, he spoke of Doctor Steel, and now that he is here the world is ripe his taking. His ascension to World Emperor is inevitable, and when his position has been rightfully claimed mankind will collectively say "We give you our thanks"
I would like to clarify that his official genre of music is ,"Industrial opera with a little bit of steampunk." basically the Trans-Siberian Orchestra combined with Abney Park. Just wanted to clear that up.
If you want good Steampunk music, try Abney Park, Vernian Process or The Cog is Dead. Unless you did and didn't like them. In which case, I can't help there, but I'd still contest your statement Steampunk has no good music without Dr. Steel. He's amazing, yes, but he's not the only good in the genre.
@mothfox toy soldiers unite. com it's in the forums, under announcements. Join us for the fun, for the play! For everything that the good Doctor believed in!
Obviously this video was quite recent. But does anybody know what the Doctor is up to now? It almost seems like he's too busy for his army and has gone off to do other things.
... Don't you know? Us, the fanatic fans, his zealous followers, drove him off. Dr. Steel is a persona that the man behind his creation made, not to get a message through, but to live out his own dream. We took it too seriously. When people began preaching about Steel as a prophet, he thought it had gone quite too far, and he stopped. He's retired from music, but he's still out there i assure you. I won't give you any info that'll spoil the illusion, though...
I miss this guy. Hope his "alter-ego" is doing well.
''Don't go away, and leave me'' ..........but Dr, YOU are the one who left us alone, my heart is broken since the day he left
It falls upon us to pick the torch up and carry it.
same :(
No, my friend. Dr. Steel is alive in you and me.
This has a very powerful, very eerie " Phantom of the Opera" feeling. I could see Phineas coming back the same way all the good mad scientist/evil genius types do, as a legend suddenly returned from the dust of ages...
It's a bit like a weird mashup of Angizia and GWAR, and that's not a bad thing.
The best part of this track is the second half, by far.
It's so ridiculously intense, I love it so.
man I wish he had made more official videos like this before retiring...
Dr. Steel,
Come back as soon as you can. We miss you!
+Jared Defibaugh He is biding his time, growing his numbers.
I hope so...
+Jared Defibaugh Do not hope... KNOW he will be back and he will become world Emperor and the Toy Soldiers will march down every street crushing every fascist monster.

i like both, funny we both draw very simular work
What bout loneliness? What about friends?
What about winning, and getting Revenge?
What about all of the things they have done?
Its time for some payback! Its time for some fun!
Let's crowd fund Dr. Steel doing vocals, with John 5 on guitar, and Les Claypool on Bass!
Make it Buckethead you got a deal.
Man, this made the song extra-epic for me. We miss you greatly, Dr. Steel...
This was an excellent video to one of my favorite Dr. Steel songs. I don't worry so much that he has moved on to something else. I am just eternally grateful that he recorded three albums worth of fantastic music for me to enjoy. Thanks Dr. Steel!
Doctor Steel is the father of Sid from "Toy Story." This is now my headcannon.
Wow. I finally decided to listen to Dr. Steel and from watching the video for Back and Forth and this I have come to the conclusion that Dr. Steel is damn amazing!!!
Sir, as a faithful soldier, I salute you. Come back please the world needs you :'(
What utterly excellent steampunk music. Total badass distilled
The Toy Soldiers miss you, Doctor Steel. We are building your Utopian Playland, hoping you will one day return to us.
I believe you are both right. Just by hearing his goal I immediately became obsessed with the idea of him and his ideas. Dr. Steel would have been quite pleased, but he isn't just Dr. Steel, he is also the man behind the goggles. That man might not be able to deal as well with this mass following willing to do whatever he says when he says it. He probably didn't want to always be Dr. Steel.
Sometimes I just want to lay in bed all day and mourn the loss of our great leader. Toy Soldiers salute you Dr. Steel.
I was just thinking that the song, the lyrics and this video all feel like an intentional farewell on his part. "Don't go away and leave me!" is what I keep saying.
But then he left. Then the toys broke and fell down.
There's a sad irony to the last portion of this song, given the mysterious nature of his retirement.
All hail the glory of Dr. Steel. The man can kick a little ass when needed.
Dr steel fell from up high in his playground of sanity and landed in the sanity of our reality and was absorbed into the fold of it...now dr steel is just like one of us, trapped in our owns pots of insanity believing that we are sane, dr steel knew true sanity but he fell just like everyone else shall
Video added to stumble upon Ma'am. May Dr Steel's glorious message spread further into the internet's depths!
TS 20106 reporting. This video is utter win. I love it.
Give us more, good Doctor!
I have no idea who made this video, but he's a real talented film-maker for sure. The wecond part is just is impressive on every angle.
He's not coming back. A recent letter from the man himself basically explains that his life has been fucked over, and he has been forced to remove all trace of his work.
Most likely legal issues over something, who can tell.
Such a sad, sad end.
I've always loved to song. So this makes me damn happy.
"Best imaginary friends"
Dr. Steel is telling us he's lonely :<
Somebody go cheer him up :D
Oh heeeey, a kindred spirit!
Same thing has been hapenning to me for quite a while.
@The0Sparkeling01 Thank you, soldier. Make sure to show your friends!
Actually he likes being sent fanart and loves talking to his fans. :D I've done it before.
That's a high honor sir
The way those doors slam shut at the end.

Doctor Steel needs to make more music videos... These are awesome.
No matter what has happened to Dr Steel, we shall follow him to the ends of the Earth
This is an Awesome Video, Doctor Steel... don't go away and leave me!
@Ronkarna Actually some good ways is TweakTube for Firefox and then the RealPlayer application, which downloads the video directly from the source, but TweakTube can download it in FLV (normal video) or MP4's. ^^ You could have asked me directly.
🖤
Thank you for sharing this amazing video with the world
This song speaks to me somehow. Not many songs do. Kudo's to you, Dr. Steel. I patiently await your return.
Dr. Steel why'd you have to leave!? :( Your music is so epic. No one can pull off what you can with music....
"Dont go away and leave me!" so then why have you left us, Doctor? :(
There are not many good Steampunk band out there. But try "Abney Park" , "Clockwork Dolls" and "The Cog is Dead".
Verily this is so. *Hat tip*
@ToySoldiersUnite
Thanks for telling me about that, I wasn't aware.
that was pretty damn awesome! i hope to see more and more of the good Doctor in the future!
The first actually good Steampunk musical artist... And now he's gone. DAMNIT!
You know.. he must be incredibly rich to get all the props and animations for his videos. I highly doubt it's all green-screen.
@uberspazzcake217 The Toy Soldiers continue on. In his final letter he said he fought hard so that we could remain and carry on his vision and his message.
TS29303 Approves of this. *Saulte* We love you Doctor!
chills went down my spine
Dr.Steel has a been known to disappear and come back. NOBODY knows where he goes. He is an odd cookie and he will be back
When Nietzsche spoke of the coming Ubermencsh, he spoke of Doctor Steel, and now that he is here the world is ripe his taking. His ascension to World Emperor is inevitable, and when his position has been rightfully claimed mankind will collectively say "We give you our thanks"
The Army of Toy Soldiers marches on, carrying forth his vision and message, continuing to build a Utopian Playland.
TS32561 reporting in, well done at this mission my good sir
I would like to clarify that his official genre of music is ,"Industrial opera with a little bit of steampunk." basically the Trans-Siberian Orchestra combined with Abney Park. Just wanted to clear that up.
If I won the lotto, I'd give him upwards of a million dollars.
We need more people like him, to be honest with all of you.
They may have forced him into retirement. But they can't get rid of his ideals.
The Army of Toy Soldiers is still strong.
he is not making music anymore....but he is still changing the world in the shadows......expect him.
This. Is. IMMENSE.
@unarmedcivilian I have no idea, but this link has already been distributed, so I guess it's a good thing!
Why has this video gotten taken down everywhere I look?
For some reason I'm watching the Grammys right now and I can't stop thinking "Why isn't he up on the stage right now?"
@HamHatter Fret not, the good Doctor is currently writing new song material for his new album.
From Argentina. Exquisite, regret not keep doing their thing.
For not using weapons, the good Doctor sure has one hell of a pair of guns ^/////////^
@NiteGeist I had to upload it from Vimeo, so I guess a little credit goes to me.
always thought of him as more "dieselpunk"
I'm not going anywhere, doctor.
He finally got that robot band to work
His Maddness Will return!
All hail Doctor Steel!
I'm still surprised this hasn't made it to MTV yet.
@Noxvill2 Then why do Toy Soldiers regularly invade Anime conventions?
This kicks all kinds of ass! I was wondering what happened to him.
@HamHatter Found 2 of his albums on Amazon for download
you should check (but i'm sure you already know them) Abney park , the clockwork quarted , the cog is dead and vernian process !
@OtisTheJanitor He did. Quite a few. But he was forced to remove all his work.
@LTVinciti He's making a new album.
If you want good Steampunk music, try Abney Park, Vernian Process or The Cog is Dead. Unless you did and didn't like them. In which case, I can't help there, but I'd still contest your statement Steampunk has no good music without Dr. Steel. He's amazing, yes, but he's not the only good in the genre.
I just realized how buff he is! hes in good shape... granted I have no idea how old he is :/
childhood cant go away if you dont let it

Doctor Steel has a band? Seems I joined the Army from the wrong side.
4 people dont keep a playroom inside their mind
ALL HAIL DR. STEEL!
TS34754 reporting in, brainwashing my friends by listening to this in anime club, currently, it is working very well XD

just recently got turned on by dr steel, and so far this vid is my fav!
Exquisite.
Not really, though there is some common ground. The Cog is Dead is Steampunk. Combichrist is Industrial, or at least closer to it.
huh, i just found this linked on Faygoluvers, kick ass
ALL HAIL STEEL!
@panikattak14 Pretty sad. But the army of Toy Soldiers marches onwards, so the Doc's ideas will still spread :)
@OtisTheJanitor ITunes has I think all of his songs.
Seems its time for Dr Horrible to have a musical movie rival?
@ThePrank247 Why was he forced to? :/
come back dr steel
@TheSidWilson0 google : filsh
there you can download it .... :D you have lots of options so there should something you could use .. ;)
4 people really needs to visit the doctor
@TheSidWilson0
