That "Locked And Loaded" part always gets me pumped during any Boss battle in any game. Rules of Nature is cool, but "Locked and Loaded" sounds more epic to me. Too bad it has a small amount of lyrics.
They're both good songs, equally powerful but different. Rules of Nature is primal and wild, where the lyrics are screamed in a way like a wild beast preparing to fight. Locked and Loaded is commanding and focused, where the lyrics aren't screamed but are instead yelled, like a tamed beast charging straight at you. Neither is better than the other. They're the same, but different.

Was this sung by Jason Miller too or was this just temp audio, because his recent rules of nature collab with FamilyJules had quite a few parts where his vocals sounded more like this than the final version of Rules of Nature.
I think Locked and Loaded has much more impact than Rules of Nature I wonder why they didn't just used the lyrics of Rules of Nature and put them in this song it would have been even more epic in my opinion
There wasn't a boss battle suitable enough for it. Maybe if they had more time, they could've had another Metal Gear, say a Rex, that Raiden fights after embracing his Ripper persona but as it stands they just didn't and it was prime for the cutting room floor.
Tbh nowadays I think I like this one better. Except for the slow buildup the moment it actually goes down to it it really slaps hard without a lot of distortion.
@IconicFusionGames- You really did misinterpert everything I said, huh? This song had no point being in the original game after it was refined into "Rules of Nature." You're the one that made a fuss over nothing by asking why a beta song isn't in the game when the later version isn't much different. The later one was "refined" a bit more with the lyrics and the riffs. "Didn't know misinterpertations drew "Asses""
Not really. It's Rules of Nature with different lyrics. They used this one in the second Metal Gear Ray fight, Rules of Nature was used in the first. Or vice-versa, can't remember.
This is the Rules of Nature if Metal Gear Ray fought Raiden again after he got his new body. I mean there was 2 Metal Gear Rays; both destroyed, whose not to say there wasn't 3? In MGS2 there was 25 Metal Gear Rays, so whose not to say there shouldn't have been a third in MGR:R
Seems like nobody understands the meaning of "prototype version". It's obvious that Rules of Nature will be better because Lock 'n Loaded wasn't even finished. I can assure you that if this song was completed it would have been even better than Rules of Nature.
I think I might know why this song is better than Rules of Nature: unlike Rules of Nature, which is sort of about the RAY beating around the bush and kidding itself about what it actually is - supposing it, and Raiden by extension, are alike natural animals, being the predator and the prey - this is the RAY entirely frank about what it is and giving in, a la Raiden during the story recognizing he's a killer, his "tool of justice" schtick just a way for him to cope/distract himself about the fact he's actually a killer and enjoys killing. Look at the lyrics, _Locked & Loaded, let the Mercury rise on up and it boils in my blood,_ it's quite decisively not natural compared Rules of Nature's natural veneer. Though sure, there aren't really many lyrics to properly divine a meaning about the song, but with what there is and how it's basically the purer form of Rules of Nature this seems to be the case. At least, to me anyway, this is my interpretation and I've been thinking on it a long time, so if you've got a different interpretation then let's hear it.
I’m not the only one that agrees that this should have been used for the Grad Unit fight in the second chapter right?
Typical politician, big promises but all talk!
HOLY SHIT
@@lolekbolek916 Typical politician! All cock, but no cum

Not as gut as Rules of Nature. But just like every other Metal Gear Rising song, it is FIRE
The most build up for any metal gear song, and so short in lyrics....

These aren't the official lyrics (the vocal tracks site doesn't have them) but I reckon they're about right:
Locked and loaded

In my opinion, Locked and Loaded's instrumental is better, but in terms of lyrics, Rules of Nature wins.

This in instrumental, rules of nature in vocals and lyrics

Shame that Platinum have disowned the prototype songs, I would totally have bought a 'beta soundtrack'.
This sounds like a version for if Raiden was fighting a Rex instead.
Sir can you send me the wallpaper? 1600x900 if you have.. Thanks :)
I think it still had a great theme to it.
Bunu hiç bilmiyordum, nerde kullanılıyordu?
Its a shame they lost most of the words and form from this to Rules, as locked sounds far better in its compesition
This song has become the new Guile's theme for me. It somehow fits with everything. o.o
THAT DAMN UG! IT STILL WORKS?
so it's just "Rules of Nature" but only the instrumental part, or at least that is what I think
I think Locked and Loaded has much more impact than Rules of Nature I wonder why they didn't just used the lyrics of Rules of Nature and put them in this song it would have been even more epic in my opinion
Because it's less tonally consistent with the rest of the soundtrack/game.
Because when platinum games took over they changed shit up.

@@touchingisjustthefirststep no the beta osts were all made after platinum took after
I think this is not from the boss battle with the ray but from some random fight part... don't remember wich...
How does it come that track isn't in ost which they are selling?!
3:17 is my favorite part
yeah this was the first mix of the song they made but changed it to what is now Rules of Nature
hmm... I didn't expect youtube to ignore new lines... hopefully it makes sense
Touche.
wonder if i will be able to complete vr mission 18 with this playing..........

the song you put on when dropping the top down in an expensive car
anyone know where to download this soundtrack cause it is not included in the Vocal Tracks i have.
is this song just an alternate version of Rules of Nature?

Should’ve used this for Sam’s Ray fight
"You came here for 2:40"
exactly ! but in game the song is little different at this moment , when raiden pownn ray x)
Not really.
It's Rules of Nature with different lyrics. They used this one in the second Metal Gear Ray fight, Rules of Nature was used in the first.
Or vice-versa, can't remember.
anymore songs like this? sounds like a demo version (which obviously wasn't in the soundtrack sadly...because this is awesome)
It was the beta version of the mg ray’s fight theme, there’s even more beta songs for MGRR.
This is the Rules of Nature if Metal Gear Ray fought Raiden again after he got his new body. I mean there was 2 Metal Gear Rays; both destroyed, whose not to say there wasn't 3? In MGS2 there was 25 Metal Gear Rays, so whose not to say there shouldn't have been a third in MGR:R
Raiden did take 3 of them out and that was before his first cybernetic body. So fighting 3 at ounce would be a nice call back to sons of liberty.
first 45 seconds you drop the top of your sports car, then you listen to that engine.
wait whats the difference between this and rules of nature? except for the lyrics oO
this is some epic shit
Instrumental here way cooler than in Rules of Nature.
Hows does Raiden go from MGS2 to THIS?
The memes...
MGS4 happened in between.
I wish I had an answer. Truth be told aside from the lyrics no difference. I Love both.
If you play it at .5x speed at 2:40, it kinda sounds like a sad song for Raiden ; -;
Sitri Uvali Sounds like a spotty song played at .5 speed.
+Sitri Uvali However, at 1.25, it sounds like an adrenaline track for the most badass moments.
More like 0.75x

thats what she said
This isn't Metal Gear Ray's theme at all. That's Rules Of Nature.
After going back and playing it, yep. I see.
Kinda sucks. Is there even a reason it was scrapped?
Seems like nobody understands the meaning of "prototype version". It's obvious that Rules of Nature will be better because Lock 'n Loaded wasn't even finished. I can assure you that if this song was completed it would have been even better than Rules of Nature.
