King Somba in the show:.....you....sorta existed.
King Sombra in the fandom: either a running joke, or a badass.
Stirling Pirate Radio (Mystic Stirling) which one?
The version who's backstory reveals his origin, and the cruel machinations of the previous ruler of the Crystal Empire?
Or
The version of Sombra from another dimension who willingly turned himself into a beam of pure darkness to save two worlds and the one he loved?
Season 9 premiere: And thus fan-fiction will become cannon
Damn I didn’t even think of that...or gabriel brown and co called it years ago
This was practically a prophecy for season 9
Представляете если Чёрная шляпа будет критиковать их действия в мини эпизоде.
This was a prediction for season 9, holy hell!!!
Sombra was in season 9 for the premiere so it was a season 9 prediction.
A villain song shouldn't be this inspirational, and yet here we are.
(SPOILER ALERT) seeing this cover art of Chrysalis, Tirek and Sombra, you never would have guessed they would actually be sharing screen time together. and he we are in season 9. where all of them join forces.
Grogar listened to this...
Now we have Season 9.
Grogar: *surfing UA-cam* Eh? Oh, what's this? Ah! A song featuring three of the Mane 6's greatest enemies? Take notes, except let Sombra die, and add a child, and BOOM!! Plan for success!
Chrysalis: assuming you even have a plan
Grogar: of course I have a plan
*plays this song*
You know there's a heroic quality to those villains who take multiple defeats and keep coming with unflagging determination.
Part if the reason I love villains more than heroes. They always come back, no matter what.
I swear the music in this fandom is better than anything they play on the radio. this fandom needs its own station
Four years ahead of the curve.
RIP Sombra... Again.
I like how this could apply to a hero or a villain.
Funny thing I think of these three, Tirek, Chrysilis and Sombra as the least likely to reform.
Their way to dedicated. So I think the song perfectly embodies their drive.
I hope we do see them again in the show.
U1timate1nferno
Really now? I believe a certain part of him is still around....
+Krazy Stargazer he is still alive. in the mlp comics there is one about his back story. you have to read it to see what I mean.
Well, definitely not Tirek or Sombra. They're freaking evil and they love it.
I refuse to believe this was uploaded 8 years ago already. Gryph0n released so many great videos at this time.
This song is everything right now! I've been making leaps and bounds in life in recent months and I no longer feel powerless as I have for many years. When I listen to this song and read the lyrics, I see myself saying these things to my life. Bring on the doubt and the hate, I'M JUST GETTING STRONGER!
You know what I like about this? Depending how you interpreting it this can work as a villain song or an anti-hero out for revenge song. I love it when music does that, kudos to you!
Maaaaaan, only been listening to your stuff since BronyCAN, and I was super missing out
Love your stuff dude!
+Viva "IMMATOONLINK" Reverie That's a collective "Your", all three of you do awesome work!
+Viva "IMMATOONLINK" Reverie Thanks man! It was great to meet you at BronyCan by the way! The Mario Cart panel was a blast!! XD
If multiple villains returned simultaneously for a rematch in the actual show...
(EDIT) The season 5 finale granted my wish.
(4 YEARS LATER EDIT) Okay I take it back, season 9 finale FTW.
Then I would have faith in the show once more! Episode 100 killed my love for the show, though the latest episode with the CMC helped give me hope once more. But having old villains come back would be amazing!! No more Discord! yay!
+barbaro267 Well at least you aren't one of those people who gave up on the show after one episode they disliked.
Not that I can understand why you would have a problem with episode 100, it was awesome but not meant to be taken seriously as show canon or anything.
+★ ShadowBolt ★ it's like if mercenary tao, commander red, and emperor pilaf returned to kill goku after he killed majin boo. it just wouldn't work.
RedGeoBlaze Well, Emperor Pilaf did return at the beginning of Dragonball GT if I'm not mistaken. (I've only ever watched Kai and a bit of GT)
Hollllllyyyy fudge!! 4 years ish now. These three villains are back together!!!! LIKE CANON IN SHOW!!
to be honest its hard to tell which guy is singing (Gabe or Nate) they sound almost exactly alike
Wouldn't expect anything less from these names. When you guys hit the big time, don't forget me. And by that I mean, take me with you. I make a damn fine janitor.
I don't care if this a villain music.
The point is: THIS SONG IS A TRUE TALENT
This song has been my hype song lately. I'm finally get a restraining order against my mentally abusive ex who's been stalking me and harassing me for the past two years. I have this song on repeat in my head. It's so incredibly empowering.
The song was massively awesome and the concept attractive and it's become canon. Yay
Last I checked, the only thing Sombra could say was "Crystalsssss..."
It's amazing how we all (or many of us) always wanted the villains to return and suddenly they all returned in one episode, hehe
+Fox Hound You'll find I can predict a lot of things when it comes to MLP... ;-P
I just saw you Chanel I have all your music on my phone there all amazing
+Black Gryph0n Have to admit, the perfect alternate timeline for e would have been as followed: Nightmare Moon had taken over Equestria and banished Celestia into the moon. Around one year after she claimed the throne (during which a rebel force has also build) she is at war with Chrysalis and Sombra, who have joined forces in taking over Equestria from her. An all out villain war, with an alternate timeline version of the mane 6 having to help Twilight get back in time again and again, only for her with every failure in stopping Starlight ending up with her being thrown further into the future of the new timeline, seeing things turn out for the worse more and more.
But hey, didn't happen and I digress.
Awesome song for sure. And surprisingly "upbeat" for a villain song
I would love the people who voiced these 3 villians to ssing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Steven Benson I wouldn't mind doing a cover, but I'm no pop singer. I know, I'm no Kathleen Barr, but...well, I can make a passable knockoff. :p
Maybe a version more like a musical number from the show would be interusting to.
+Steven Benson careful what you wish for! They'll turn it into an Equastria Girls movie!
+Steven Benson i don't think tirek or sombra would be the singing type. we all know how well crysalis' voice can get if she just turns into cadence first
+RedGeoBlaze Oh hearing Starlight glimmer singing liek this. not that creeping song like the premier but a acutla villains song
With all the fresh additional footage of Sombra and Chrysalis from the finale, plus all the screen-time Tirek got from the S4 finale, the fandom has no excuse for not making a professionally bad-ass PMV for this song, if a full blown animation doesn't happen (though it really should).
When this song predicted MLP's Finale Season's First 2 episodes.
MLP staff when starting season nine: Hmm. We're going to have our show end on a good note. Any suggestions?
A member: Well I was just listening to this song from one of our biggest fans in fact including our pal Michelle...
This song predicted season 9 years before it happened
Gabe, It's people like you that make me so much happier about me joining the fanbase. Being in the fanbase, is pretty tough, whilst so many people at my school knows and pretty much thinks i'm super weird. But then I visit your channel again, and everything seems OK. Thank you Gabe and Nathaniel (you too Michelle.) Thank you all so much.
I knew it! Queen Chrysalis was Apple Bloom all along!
And she's also voicing Michele Creber! I guess Apple Bloom's real talent is conspirancy.
Well Chrysalis was born from a tree... Who's to say it wasn't an apple tree?
Oh deer Princesses......We NEVER see Apple Bloom and Queen C at the same time.....
you almost predicted the last season of the show with this song haha
I think King Sombra is badass, anyone else agree?
They intended him to be a reference to LORD SAURON, just as Discord is one to Q. So yeah, pretty freaking awesome!
+Alexandra Wostrel They even got Jon de Lancie to voice him--same as Q! Holy crap, right!?
Holy crap cakes....this fandom really has the most talented people in it!
this song is Just Awesome. It makes me think the villains night make a comeback. love it!
+King Sombra oh yes the night they wear defeated will defenetlly come back every year in fact
+King Sombra
Well, not much chance Tirek will escape again, Chryssi is still a viable threat, and you, my King have not been confirmed silenced...
WITH SEASON 9 THIS IS BASICALLY CANON
Vote Sombra, make the Crystal Empire great again!
vote crysalis make it so we dont need to have giant golden sombra statues everywhere
I’m SO GLAD I came back to this!! Still rocks
Whoda' thunk Apple Bloom would be playing Queen Chrysalis?
+Alec Foisy you should read the comic. i think crysalis takes a liking to applebloom
If I ever become a supervillain I'm gonna use this as my theme song..
Man the nostalgia! My two best friends and I used to belt this in middle school all the time!!
Woah Michelle is in once again?!!
Yayyy!
Well, her and Gabe are pretty much best friends. It is to be expected that they would do more songs together.
+Anston Music
Not just best friends, they have the same musical manager.
That's how they were introduced, in fact.
I'm sure loads of people already pointed out the similarity between this song and the villain team from Season 9, but here's another similarity:
Getting Stronger: "When the sky turns to gray, when the light fades away..."
Ending of the End: The pegasi block off the sky with grey clouds, blocking off the sun and dimming light on the ground significantly.
This predicted the season 9 premier .. damn
Great song!
Queen Chrysalis really is overdue to make a return appearance on the show. She is such a great villain, and she doesn't seem like the kind of person (If she can be called a person) who'd just give up after being defeated once.
+Adamguy2003 They had a Changeling in ep. 100, so I'd hold out hope that they'll bring her back!
I can see this being animated in a Beautiful way. I can see it now:
The Beginning is the sirens going off until the 8-bit sound. After the 8-bit starts... They break out their cells in Tarturus and the dust clears to show that they've joined forces. Queen Chrysalis starts to take out the Guards and it fades to Tirek, Taking power from Surrounding Villians and/or guards. Sombra is taking control of their fears and harnessing them. They meet up from their separate places, and join forces. Getting stronger, and making it out to the castle grounds. Looking at Twilight's Stained glass, they each take a shot and destroy it. Swatting away some of the Royal Guard like Flies. Sombra takes a hold of Princess Celestia, Tirek takes Luna's Power and Chrissi takes care of Cadence, Taking her form again. As it fades, they Turn to face the Mane 6 for the End of the Music Video
Please someone please animate this .
I would live to but i dont gave the tool nor skill to do it
TBH, we know the Mane six will win because...they have to. But still it would be very close battle with so much on the line and they have Starlight Glimmer on their side too, so...Also, Flurry Heart.
Wow this song is amazing. The singer's,musicians,and the person or people who wrote the lyrics did a magnificent job.
Three and a half years later, season nine is out and this seems especially relevant.
Funny thing now because in season 8 we are going to have Queen Chrysallis and Lord Tirek back. Hope Hasbro brings back King Sombra because his design and voice was powerful and he is my favorite villian.
and now season 8 is today. im not going to spoil it for you but like.. dont get your hopes up (ive seen ep 1-13 already. the true finally is even a mystery to me)
Aedion Ashryver extreme spoiler. Sombra is the villian to end the show in season 9 followed with an official friendship is magic movie
@@riotgamesistrash2725 lmao theyre bringing sombra back for s9 so theyll probably throw chrysallis in there too
eight years and this song is as cool as the first day!
If the rumors are true season 9 finale will be a revenge of villain trio
It would be cool if they could sing that or modified version of this song so it would fit
Black Gryphon predicted Season 9!
the nostalgia this song is giving me is hitting me like a bus
I still think sombra SHOULD have returned in the finale episode as a more POWERFUL enemy that causes the mean 3 to team UP with the mane 6.
Think about it, he was a shadowy pony, they banished both him AND the shadow pony entity.
Ergo they could have combined!!!
This thumbnail shot had actually warned us about what's to come ALL this time!
I always love it when you get together with Michelle for a great song. I love all your songs but the ones with Michelle are just that much more awesome.
Your musical masterpieces such as this are beyond an inspiration to all of us. God Bless You, Black Gryphon!
Nice! And Michelle Creber is in it? Great!
+Skill:Draw seriously dude, if you did an animation to this song, you'd be twice as awesome!
UltimoDrake It's not a bad idea. We're now in a couple of projects though :)
My god. Two years ago, the night this song came out, I remember blaring this song on repeat for a good 3 hours.. And the song's still beautiful!!
Still one of my favorite MLP songs! So much energy, so many vocals, it's just the best.
WHY THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED???!!!
damn it's just an amazing song
I wonder if anybody will animate this song :/
....I just read the description.....YOU WORKED WITH THE VOICE ACTOR OF APPLE BLOOM?!?! THE, I MEAN, THE VOICE ACTOR OF APPLE BLOOM?!?!?
+SuperBronyGirl3000 Haha! Yes. We work together all the time. There are five other songs on my channel with her in them, and like a hundred sketches with her and I on her channel. I also have a few songs with Andrea Libman (Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie) on our At Home album. :-)
+SuperBronyGirl3000 Well, Michelle and I have the same agent. I've worked on MLP too, so I'm friends with most of the VA's on that show. :-)
Pretty much everyone who works on MLP is in this video: ua-cam.com/video/5R_q8oTN9UQ/v-deo.html
It's awesome to see all three of you singing together =D You've all got incredible voices ^_^
1.Beautiful
2.are we allowed to do animatics or animations of this song?
Chrysalis came back for the finale. Now she's a queen without a kingdom, but remains one of the only non reformed villains!
IM BACK!!! again...... I HAVE ONE SAY TO HASBRO!!! no hasbro im going to replay as a nightmare forever untill i reapear
Why can't you be reformed, damn it! We even drew fan art of you as a pony of your design! What more do you want Chrysalis!
because way too many are reformed and im not gonna be i mean in some RP's i am but i dont directly think they are gonna do that
I imagine Apple Bloom singing this in an Equestria Girls quick animation with Gryph0n himself also animated. :)
How I wish I could have heard you guys sing this at EqLA! Michelle's voice has really improved! :D
+Aleximus Prime Thanks! I've been helping her with singing tips and tricks, and she's been helping me with becoming Canadian... Eh? :-P
+Black Gryph0n Ah good, I thought you guys were busy flying drones or something. :P
Chrysalis, Tirek, and Sombra... the only MLP (not counting EQ) villains to not be redeemed
+Sanne van Baak okay well of we think of sombra as immortal, yeah.
But as far as we know he's dead and the comics are only cannon as long as the show doesn't contradict them.
have any of you ever wondered what it would be like in a TV show if in the end the villains actually won?
Marvel infinity war........
Ok wait never mind mostly the good guys always win
Sometimes.If S8 was the final season Cozy glow's creepy smile would have been the last thing we saw of the show.Maybe end the season like that and fix it in the next one's premiere.
......Now I want to hear Gryph0n try a Tirek voice.....
The Commenter I do a bit of it in Bronies React to the season 4 finally! :-P
im building a team 2 trixies 2 nightmare moons 1 me and a fox so far and one dark revan im sure..
It is SO awesome that the voice actors are getting in on this, too---especially a young one like Michelle Creber!
Now I am rooting for them more than ever! DOWN WITH THE PRINCESSES!!!
It needed many years but the prophecy was fulfilled, except neither Grogar or Cozy are in the image, but the three villains playing together already was here... The prophecy was fulfilled!
The 3 True Villains of My Little Pony! King Sombra being my #1 villain, with Chrysalis scheming in disguise, & Tirek making a comeback!
I play all your songs 5 times over.
This is absolute perfection.
RIP Villains of MLP:FiM. It was a pleasure to roll together with you all.
Dude...... THIS IS AMAZING!!! ELEVEN OUT OF TEN!
God.... I just listen/watched this due to recommendations, and wow was this song good! I haven't stopped listening to it, since I got it on Itunes. You, Michelle and Baaisk did an amazing job on this work Gryph0n! ^w^
This song can work so well with Rey and Kylo Ren. I can't believe nobody made a music video with this song yet.
I just have to say, this is my favorite song on youtube. When it gets stuck in my head, I smile and enjoy it :)
Dude, you three never fail to deliver! Seriously, I can feel the music and every single one of your songs just stick with me. I really hope I get a chance to meet you one day and personally thank you for for the great music! But I'm focused entirely on college, so I can get to medical school. Priorities, man.
P.S. Good subtlety in that description there, Gabe.
Karaoke night at the Villian Pub
queen chrysalis
Come now, Your Majesty, with a singing voice like that, think of all the love you could feast on.
actually as a token of appreciation have two changeling bodyguards
Featuring Chrysalis the runaway, Sombra the ghost, and Tirek live from tartarus through Skype video chat.
I know this is wishful thinking, but we got an mlp movie HISHE I would literally die from happiness
It's really cool how Michelle who is a voice actor for the actual series will do these amazing songs for the fans.
+THEEND4444 Well, that's not exactly how it works. :-P Michelle and I are a song writing duo. We have the same agent and manager, we're both professional singers and voice actors, and we've both worked on MLP. We do these songs together for the fandom sometimes, but we also do other things that aren't related to MLP. (Music, Sketches, Gaming, Etc. You should check them out if you have time and are interested! ua-cam.com/video/WIs5B94gdd0/v-deo.html :-)
Read the description, and welcome to Arizona! Enjoy your stay! Also, great song. Its been forever since I heard your music, and your still amazing at music. And congrats on 100k subs💗
This was of my favorite song when i was a child
BEST SONG EVER!!!!
This is personally my all-time favorite songs by these two :)
This was my jam when I was 10, still is.
a villain team up will happen in season 9 this song guessed it
Still one of my favorite songs
every time I dont feel like listening to this as soon as I put it on again I realized why I love it so good job
Quite possibly your best work yet.
Excellent work, you three!
Interesting bit of trivia: The three villains shown in this video were beaten at some point and actually came back stronger.
Chrysalis was beaten by Celestia some time in the past, then came back stronger and beat her.
King Sombra was defeated by the Princesses, then came back stronger as a more threatening (albeit mindless) menace.
Tirek was banished to Tartarus by the Princesses, then escaped and came back stronger by absorbing Equestrian magic.
Nightmare Moon and Discord don't count because they weren't shown or implied to have really gained or lost power between being defeated and coming back.
Starlight doesn't count because she's only been defeated once. When she reappears in the plot, we'll see if she comes back even stronger
+Watcher weatherly23 YES!! Exactly!! You're the first person who got why I used those three and not Luna, Discord, Sunset Shimmer or Trixie.
*****
I just applied some thought to my memory of these characters, and realized these three truly fit what the lyrics were about.
You really did your research to make the image fit the song, including the comics for Chrysalis.
and then it actually happened lol
Indeed 👍
