I will argue this until my dying breath.... The Faulconer score brought something to DBZ that the original OST couldn't. Even thought its been over 20 years, it still holds up and the phenomenal rescore you've done with this and countless others proves it. Keep it up, man!!! love that shit!
That choir at 0:50 is now canon music, in my opinion. The emotion in that tone you built there was one of righteousness and justice, not simply getting angry. That was the musical personification of destiny, seemingly divine, being realized. Then that metal guitar comes in and shows that FAFO has entered the chat. It's like bringing the divinity elements from DBS back in time to this moment. This is when he started to become a sort of Angel of Justice and Retribution (when I wrote this I seriously didn't even consider the Judas Priest album "Angel of Retribution").
Ahh man I really love how you pointed out the divinity elements from DBS. DBS had been around for a while when I started making these covers, so the soundtrack definitely influenced me when making these covers. I wanted to know what it would sound like if they used this music in a modern anime like DBS. As for the choir, that was always my favorite part from SSJ Transformation, thank for sharing your thoughts ☺️🙏
@@GladiusThemes Genuinely, my pleasure (I've played this a dozen times since I came across it). You enhanced the choral element to where it always should have been. It was much more muted in the original. You kept the base theme and enhanced the meaningful (as in what was happening in this scene) elements. Amazing work.
Whether you saw this back in '91 on Fuji TV or in 1999 on Cartoon Network the scene was epic but both scenes were played differently and felt differently because the Japanese version was more horror centric while the American broadcast went with the superman approach.
When all hope seems lost, A shadow of death, chaos and destruction in their wake, A prophecy stirs, stories of old thought to be as merely a fairytale, A warrior of unimaginable power, The saiyan of legend returns
Honestly i think the “YOU RUTHLESS HEARTLESS BASTARD” and “I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER” and the voice crack at the end is better than the “YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH THIS”
This is incredible. The rising tension in the music is grand. 0:00 First we get a sense of dread as Frieza is toying with them by killing them one by one. 0:10 But, there’s still hope, just in small bursts as Goku is becoming enraged at the death of Krillin and possibly of everyone he loves. 0:28 Then, the music takes a mystic, almost godlike tone as Namek starts falling to the whim of Goku, until he surges. 1:13 Then, The lead guitar come in to show that its no longer just the power of a god, but the rage of one, as Goku starts surging more violently with SSJ power until he explodes, much to Frieza’s horror. 1:34 Then, all the buildup gets released Goku, now with Golden Hair and Emerald Green Eyes, is surrounded by a mysterious golden aura. The Super Saiyan has finally awoken to punish Frieza for the terrible sins he has committed. The tiny flame has erupted into a raging wildfire. 2:09 But it’s not done as it still builds up with more power and speed as we prepare for the grand showdown between the golden Hero, and the tyrannical, powerful Villain, but it all ends in a powerful cliffhanger, instead of that weird ditty that takes away from the moment. Truly incredible.
I didn't think anything in anime could hit harder than this scene with the original Faulconer score but then this happened... I don't know how, but something about the rescore hits harder than the original ever did, and that's saying something
Brilliant work! This brings back so many memories. Honestly I don't think I've heard a better cover to this! I love how it's in 7/8 time signature too, and how it transitions to 4/4 at the climax.
Thank you again! Right, I didn’t even realise it was 7/8 until I start to recreate it. It’s like it’s hanging on all the tension until it eventually breaks when it goes 4/4. Something similar happens in the Vegeta SSJ theme too with the time signature. Interesting stuff!
@@GladiusThemes Vegeta's SSJ theme is a pain to count for! It sounds like it alternates between 5/8 and 4/4. Is that right? Also, if I remember correctly, Mike wrote the theme by speeding up and reversing the original piano melody he came up with for it.
this original track (and many many others in Ginyu/Frieza Sagas) was written and composed by Michael Llyod Smith (Mike Smith) who worked at Faulconer Productions from 1999-2003.
Reason why Goku took this seriously was cause this was Krillin's second death and Goku knew that a person who died twice can't be wish back by Shenron which is why the anger combined with strength eventually turns Goku into a Super Saiyan so to give Frieza the fight he wants.
Akira Toriyama ❤ this takes me back to when I was a teenager and we were eagerly watching this debut for the first time ever dubbed in English 😢 what a time to be alive
You’re welcome!! I don’t know how Mike Smith came up with the original, it’s so good ☺️ I loved recreating it, the piece has always meant a lot to me growing up.
That little bit of lightning that coincides with that subtle bit of music is what makes the entire scene the greatest of all anime, you have to be in my head to understand it xd
imo the only heroic transformation in DB that was invented purely by the storyteller without any other commercial motives. imo Gohan going SS2 was a reflection of fans and Akira wanting Gohan to be the cool new hero. The Buu arc showed us a lot of fun transformations/fusions but they had little impact outside of the exact transformation moments,
That’s a great compliment coming from a fan of the original score seeing as they are such different tastes. I’m glad I could make it enjoyable for you ☺️
In the one dub he says in English the original line. How dare you! Over and over angrier each time. You could feel the hate in his words. The need for revenge. For those few seconds frieza saw real malice forming in front of him.
What's so cool about this is that Frieza cannot sense energy. He has no way of knowing how astronomical a power boost Super Saiyan is but when Goku gives him that look of SHEER HATRED the Galactic Emperor shits himself because he knows that he's about to be outmatched by an enraged Saiyan warrior.
The scary part is that frieza couldn’t sense energy, so when goku transforms he’s doesn’t know what happened to him. It makes sense why frieza asks goku what is he.
And this is why the falconer score will always be leagues better than OG. As horrible as funi is as a company and the behavior of the VAs. They hit a gem with this score
@@nerdtom4513 personally I like the ssj2 Gohan transformation better because I was about that age when I first saw it and it seemed very empowering. It resonated with me and has ever since. The buildup was more intense and there was more at stake. Everyone had high expectations of a child who didn’t believe in himself until he snapped. Best transformation in all dragon ball hands down.
Haha yeah true. I think Goku would look weird with that kind of nose though, I guess we are used to it. That said, I did see a picture of Krillin with a nose the other day, it was wild
ua-cam.com/video/yoWre95NRPI/v-deo.html here you have with the original falcouner version on top of the kai dub, the creator can probably tell you how to get the dialogue only version
I tried putting the kai dialogue with the Faulconer music and if I can be honest, there was something about it that didn’t work for me. The tone of voice in kai is far more rage-filled and unhinged, making it feel too intense for the Faulconer music. The Japanese score/kai score just fits that intensity more appropriately. I feel like I could make a video on why I think each separate version works better with its respective score 🙏
ima make it a little better (warning : im not disrespecting the original work I only wanna add a few small Lines compared to the original version) **Frieza explodes krillin** Krillin : "GOKU---" **Explodes** King kai : "Oh no...." Chiaotzu : "what happend king kai?" King kai : "We lost krillin too..." Frieza : "Heheh....... Hahaha!" Piccolo : **On the floor** Gohan : **scared** Frieza : "hehe... How about the brats next?" "GRRR...... I won't let you...... Get away.... With this!" Frieza : "hehehehe!"

Thank you for giving us epic moments like this.
Rest in peace, Toriyama.
You definitely helped enliven his spirit with this rescore.

It’s really special ☺️ Never heard anything else like it. Thank you!!
You are absolutely correct, anyone that says otherwise either grew up with original score or is a die hard anime purist.
Your damn right!!! Faulconer's score was for the most part amazing and made DBZ epic.
They're weeaboos @@fallenlino '
The faulconer score is way more iconic than anything that’s come out since or before it. Dbz is imo unwatchable without it

Me too man, will never forget this moment 🙏
This is criminally underrated
The UA-cam algorithm is a crime against art.
Really this is fantastic
Where's my favorite spring noises in the song lmao.
I love Bruce Faulconer's work.
💯
No it isnt
The Day when dragon Ball proved that it was is and always be the Godfather of All Anime
Rest in Peace Toriyama Sensei 🙏❤️
The legend was born on that day, SO many people have awakened because of this, thank you Toriyama-san!
Whether you saw this back in '91 on Fuji TV or in 1999 on Cartoon Network the scene was epic but both scenes were played differently and felt differently because the Japanese version was more horror centric while the American broadcast went with the superman approach.
GOOSEBUMPS BRO! THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!
Thank you my friend!! ☺️☺️
Gear 5 made an impact, but this was the scene that made an Crater! This scene does not need words, but only one comes to mind. Iconic
When all hope seems lost,
A shadow of death, chaos and destruction in their wake,
A prophecy stirs, stories of old thought to be as merely a fairytale,
A warrior of unimaginable power,
The saiyan of legend returns

Awesome! A moment I'll never forget. SSJ3 theme is my personal favorite though.
I couldn’t forget if I wanted to. It made my childhood! SSJ3 Theme is legendary ;)
I haven't had more goosebumps in my life this is just too awesome, keep it up!
Bro.. its like watching it for the first time again. Goosebumps and tears. Incredible.

Bruce Faulconer is the best. This is awesome. Thanks for making it. Do more! Earned a sub
I agree! Thank you for listening and subscribing, I really appreciate it :) any suggestions on what you’d like to hear me make?
this original track (and many many others in Ginyu/Frieza Sagas) was written and composed by Michael Llyod Smith (Mike Smith) who worked at Faulconer Productions from 1999-2003.
Truly amazing work. Sad thing that ssj scream wasn't from another one version.
Thank you 🙏 oh, which version?
@@GladiusThemes kai version dialogue and voice acting probably. better imo.
@Iamthereal_RSnot the voice acting tho

There's a moment right before Goku transformed when Frieza realized the legend was true
That’s right, he didn’t wanna believe it but it came true in front of his very eyes, you can see the terror 😟
The moment where his last chance to strike was
Akira Toriyama ❤ this takes me back to when I was a teenager and we were eagerly watching this debut for the first time ever dubbed in English 😢 what a time to be alive
This is so good it gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I see t
Such an Iconic moment
One of the most epic moments of my childhood will never forget!
@@GladiusThemes Same
non stop goosebumps the whole time.
Really enjoyed this. :)
You gave this legendary moment the Zimmer touch 👀🔥
I love zimmer 😁😁
Still gives me goosebumps over 2 decades later 😶🤘🏿💪🏾✊🏿
Me too 🙏🙏
Thank for you the greatest transformation theme I have ever heard!!!

Incredibly amazing. It felt like watching it for the first time especially with this remake theme. Got chills👍🏼
the episode that changed our lives forever

Amazing rescore! I love how close it is to the original
It's amazing how much anger he can show through so simple words
I like how the music sped up at the end
😁 yes me too, it does that in the original version!
You deserve more praise my guy!
Not a big falconer fan (kikuchi fan) but this rescore makes the music enjoyable for me lol nice job

"pop goes the weasel"
ahh yes, the true dub
It should be laughable haha but there’s something about Frieza saying that, that just fits with his sadistic character. Making light of such cruelty.
This sounds amazing
☺️ thanks
I legitimately almost cried and I'm not kidding
🥹 That’s beautiful
The scary part is that frieza couldn’t sense energy, so when goku transforms he’s doesn’t know what happened to him. It makes sense why frieza asks goku what is he.

Make one with Ssj2 Gohan🙏
I could! I know there’s a version of the scene of him turning SSJ2 on UA-cam with no music somewhere, great idea!
Why is Gohan SSJ2 moment so overrated and it overshadows this great moment of SSJ Goku?😭

Oke this music killing me ♥
please make more
This is is cleary remaking 90s, though. 😄
Music shoulve been more intense, but its good overall

Remind me again how gear 5 tops this?
It doesn't.
We not gonna talk about the fact that frieza has the most Human looking nose compared to Goku and Gohan?
Haha yeah true. I think Goku would look weird with that kind of nose though, I guess we are used to it. That said, I did see a picture of Krillin with a nose the other day, it was wild
Kai had more emotion but the scream sean schemmel did in the original is the best
If you think about it that if frieza had trained in the past the super saiyan power up would have been meaningless!
Kinda wished you used the Kai version.
Still a good vid overall.
Yeah thats fair! I grew up with this dub and never got to around to watching Kai.
Thank you 🙏
