It's kinda sad seeing all the actors and actresses who were major characters have their name removed from the theme in the next season after the one they were killed in
I used to get scared as a kid listening to this but now this is just gold. Reminds me of the good old days when Walking Dead was the best zombie series I've always loved
As an Atlanta resident I can tell you some of the scenes in the first season hit you like a truck in terms of the impact especially when you thought of so many places you saw that you actually recognized. It made it even creepier ., and the theme from the first two seasons really hammered the point home.... this story is going to scare you. The bottom line nothing scarier than fast zombies combined with music that makes you feel like you are the one being chased. Bear if you wanted to scare us you most definitely hit the mark
Many years later I still get goosebumps from the intro theme. There's a very urgent feel to it that perfectly captures the rapid downfall of society and possibly humanity.
This show has a special place in my heart. When I was 15, my dad let my older brother and I watch this show for the first time with him in the same room as us, but the opening scene is what attached me to it. I’m 16 now, and am allowed to watch it on my own, and after finishing the first episode, I couldn’t get enough of it. I binge-watched this show every day and got through seasons 2-9 (mid-finale) in just 2 months. I’m rambling now, but I love this show so much, and even though I’ve been spoiled around 12 times, I still love this show. This theme song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I’ll never forget this show.
What I like is that despite the title, it never shows any zombies in the intro, nothing. Just abandoned buildings, cars, roads and very little signs of life. That alone gives me the chills, that alone gives you the feeling that some pretty bad shit just went down
The theme has always been one of my most favorite things about The Walking Dead. It is far more complex than I realized. There are sounds in there I never realized were there. The addition of some electric/electronic instruments that really stand out in the theme from the finale are thrilling. It’s remarkable, the number of different sections playing different notes after the key changes. The music is very “thick,” as they say. The fact that they could subtly change the theme for 11 years, without most people noticing, is amazing.
The opening they used for the first 2 seasons is still my favorite. Seeing a few of the characters' faces and the abandoned city makes this theme as creepy as it is epic.
@Cole REVIEWS I just started watching this show last month and the first 5 seasons were good, 6 was amazing but the last three episodes were dull, I couldn't watch seven after the first episode. It was depressing but I will try watching it only for Rick and Daryl
Watch everything trust me, then watch webseries move on Fear, eat the shit even if you don't like it, after it move on World Beyond. Don't lose anything of this universe, everything will tie up together and every little detail is so important. Watching it since day 1 and never get bored of it, I would watch even a shit on floor for 40 mins if there is written The Walking Dead on.
People forget how many great episodes season 6 had. Episode when Carl got shot was one of the best episodes if the series. Or the episode when the killed all those saviours and when Carol and Maggie got kidnapped.
Who else notices that when Glenn's actor Steven Yuen is shown in the theme that the time is running on that stop watch in season 3 and 4, and then when season 6 comes when he dies, (we just don't know it until season 7) that the stop watch actually stopped, showing that time has run out for him and he meets his sad demise.
Season 1 is great, the abandoned houses and the crows and in season 4 amazing how the crows fly out of the tree gives an apocalyptic feeling... You guys rock!!!👍
I miss the general theme/vibe the first few seasons had. Gritty, tense and eerie. The focus was so much simpler and smaller, giving emotions and scenarios so human and so close to home that it actually questioned your own fragile humanity at some points. Made every episode tense and anxious. It was so good back then.
I think the first is the creepiest. Using he term, "show dont tell," the first doesn't show us any walkers or CGI centipedes. It's really eerie because they're showing what was once a bustling city with people living there, now overrun from the apocalypse.
*walkers. Zombies are the unrealistic and are too overpowered. If a zombie/walker existed irl, it would have been fast at first (Like is s1 of twd) and would have rotted more and become slow and stupid (s3-today)
Season 2 is my favorite, with that focus-in on Herschel's farm. But I never realized how sad Season 5-6 was with the little girls grave. BTW whoever produced this song did an amazing job. It's basically a zombie apocalypse personified in musical form
When this show finally ends I think it will go down in history as one of the all time most iconic tv shows, People are going to be Nostalgic as hell for this show in the years ahead...
Reasons why I like season 1 intro Atlanta The bus on the street All the cars on the Highway The RV The Teddy bear the Little girl Zombie picked up Etc.
Notice how in seasons 1 and 2, dead pops up prior to walking as in "the dead are walking" but once season 3 comes around it's starting to show how the survivors are the walking dead
the intro is like school for us as we grow we keep walking forward to grades which are seasons of our lives and where we make tough decisions in those grades sometimes
I was about the same age as Carl (Chandler Riggs) when I first watched TWD, as he aged in the series I just noticed that I also grew older lmao. The show made me feel like a kid.
CORONA VÍRUS THEME When I go out on the streets or I see people talking about Corona, or I see the news, this song immediately comes to my head and doesn’t go out ... The streets are deserted, it seems that I’m in a movie ... From Brazil
Man I love the walking dead intro! Best one for me is season 3! Also I like how they show how the logo decades after the seasons as many years went by, in the beginning seasons it was clean, now it has really decade! Never noticed that!

There's just something so menace about the way the music changes when it shows shane , and I freaking love it.
After watching The Punisher this comment makes even more sense 😁
1:48 is the best for sure that shot with the birds leaving the tree syncing with the music is perfection
True
The walking dead logos at the end look more and more decayed and dirty over the seasons, like the walkers.
Sounds like the odd seasons are louder and more horror driven, while the even seasons are quieter and contain slight sound effects.

Imagine having never seen this show and opening the first episode
The first time I heard that theme I was like oh this is going to be a bad ass show
@@scaryherry same and it was a badass show, watched it all like 1 month ago, loved it
Probaly one of the best shows to binge while in lockdown
@ true its kinda ironic especially when it hits the ebd of season 5 and most of season6
This is so nostalgic fr like this was my childhood show ngl lmao
yooo like those nights at 11 when this song just starts playing in the background😔i miss it
You must be like 18.

Wizards & Warriors nah man I was 5-6 when I started watching lmaoo. I’m 15 now tho
Audrey H. wait i’m 15 too😦
When I listen to this song, I can't describe the feeling I have. #twd 💖
same here
tbh i think the intro is like we are looking through the walkers eyes it’s kinda cool
I like how it looks more decayed with each opening.
It’s so incredibly unsettling and I love it
Alternative title: Norman Reedus moves higher in the starring list
When the zombies used to be the worst enemy

Imagine during New Years, when the ball drops and it’s 2021 this song starts playing all around the world and the apocalypse starts.

It's funny how the logo is getting dirtier and broken
And now it's on fire.

Its one of the most iconic tv shows already :D
@Tone f What is sopranos even never heard of it
The music is so scary it’s amazing how they made it!
The logo deteriorate itself throughout the seasons! I love that detail
Season 1 was probably the best for me for the simple fact it felt real
I agree then was like trying to survive the zombie apocalypse now its like human ward and the zombies are just ants
iakovojackgr humans vs humans. Instead of joining forces together they choose pride.
Good old days of twd
The season 1-3 intros made me wanna cry from nostalgia
Back then The Walking Dead was an outstanding series.
Chef when it had good characters
i love how the title slowly deteriorates over the seasons, perhaps it shows the loss of humanity in people
Reasons why I like season 1 intro
Atlanta
The bus on the street
All the cars on the Highway
The RV
The Teddy bear the Little girl Zombie picked up
Etc.
Yeah, i think its the best and most creepy
Do you guys notice that as the intros go on, the b-roll gets much darker and horrific and the buildings seem more decayed and aged?
Also if you watch closely
The sign or title card
Becomes more and more decayd
I might have to rewatch 1-5. Those seasons were amazing
Has anyone noticed how the title gets bloodier and the music gets more distorted every season?
It's decaying. Like the walkers.
Robyn S. It decays every season
Robyn S. The composer stated in an old interview that he'll slightly change the theme by adding a few instrumentals whenever they make a new season.
It's supposed to be like how the zombies decay, but with the titles.
I think It indicates that things are only getting worst and there's no going back
Everytime a character dies they remove the actors name the next season. That just breaks my heart 💔
+coasterboy456 me too :(
What would be the point in keeping their names if they aren't even acting in it anymore?

Solomon Abram I think those are slower to be sirens when at the very begining of the apocalypse
sound not slower
I didn't even realize those were sirens but it does sound like it now that you mention it
Solomon Abram thats the best part for me 😂😂😂
+OfficialYTZ Definitely
Literally the best theme ever and a great way to get hype for the episode
love how the introduction of the actors is creative, a pocket watch for Glenn/Steven then an arrow for Daryl/Norman
"Officer shot." That heading on the newspaper was a great introduction to the theme song for seasons 1 and 2!
Is it weird how I love listening to the walking dead intro over and over again?....I kinda love the song for it...
It's a simple but very effective theme. Sends shivers to the spine.
I love the fact that the titles decay like the virus is spreading
Дело не в вирусе
This will never get old (2018 to 2019)
yea
Holy shit, so iconic & memorable, definitely missed this, especially the first two ones
Norman Reedus was the last name and now it’s the first ♥️
Maria Zahara he wasn’t even a name in the first season 😂
Because Daryl Dixon is the best thats why
Negan is cool too
He was actually supposed to play Merle's part but they liked Norman so much they mad him a unique character.
As the seasons go on, the theme music slowly “decomposes” into a deeper, guttural version of the song…🤯
