Was an honor to be a part of the project Andy, much love!
The side by side artwork at 2:20.... INSANE! You nailed it Kim!
PI-ZZA-BOX
I genuinely, honestly thought that the pizza boxes were all planned! 😮 Like, it goes so well with the retro 80's theme, reminds me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and those city neon lights... Plus a pizza is everyone's favorite treat and the perfect gaming night -snack! 🍕
It just ended up being the perfect way to ship them but it's become something of a meme now haha
I can’t wait for album number 3 so ready !!!
Andy I’ve been playing your cd and proudly donning your awesome T shirt for the past several weeks since getting my order in the mail down here in Florida right before the hurricane. You’ve officially become my family’s soundtrack for Hurricane Ian so congratulations lol. Coincidentally, since our internet was basically knocked out we’ve been regulated to having to play our vintage Atari and sega consoles for this week and, along with your Arcade Metal cd playing in the background. Gotta say you really lifted our spirits during this crazy event and we are safe, happy and grateful! Thank you for being a part of our family’s recovery during this time. Watching this part 2 of the making of this amazing album, I now realize all the hardships you went through just to bring your dream and vision to fruition. Andy thank you for all your hard work and that of your wife and surrounding team. You all deserve a round of applause for creating this fantastic product. I, too, am a longtime guitarist and often thought about trying to do an instrumental album. Watching this vlog I am both inspired to try it and further scared away from attempting out of fear of the work and failure lol. But I take from all your hardships an overall positive message to keep trying no matter what. We will continue to blast your awesome cd and thanks again for creating such beautiful art, musically and visually. God bless your family and hope to see you on your at some point!
Wow.. this is one of the sweetest messages I've ever had. It really warms my heart so thank you for sharing this with me. You have no idea how much it means to me to know my music has helped in some way. Much love to you and the fam and stay safe ❤️
@@andygillion Our family thanks you for the reply my friend it put a smile on all our faces! We hope our message put a smile on your face as well. We can’t wait for Arcade Metal 2 we just hope it doesn’t have to be the soundtrack for our next natural disaster lol 😂 😩. Much thanks from some of your US fans, stay metal Andy! 🤘🏻
$1000 dollars saved on the lighting setup lmao
Haha yup!
Holy...WOW
Man Megadrive is a banger. Easily my favorite song on the album.
Cheers Jesse! Such a chill song :)
Just ordered my retro bundle, cant wait for it to show up. Love everything you do. Keep it up man, you're hard work and stress will pay off in the end my friend.
Thanks so much John!
I love that you include all the triumphs but also all the hard times in these vlogs, it really feels like witnessing your whole journey, which is awesome! Lots of creative solutions for the problems too that lighting trick is actually genius :) I have been listening to the album since its release, can't get enough of it, they are all great but Insert Coin hits different for me I put it on repeat, such a banger opening song! It would be great if you also do "Inside The Project" style videos for some of the songs from Arcade Metal too, seeing the creative process behind the scenes is also awesome! Much love from Turkey, if our currency wasn't that bad and shipment wasn't a problem, I would have definitely gotten a T-Shirt bundle or gotten the vinyl but maybe in the future :) Cheers!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the journey. Hope all is well over in Turkey right now!
@@andygillion Well the situation is really complicated here now but I hope that it will get better, thanks a lot for asking and also you have a large following here with your albums with MPE and also your solo albums, at least Spotify listener numbers tells that :) It is a really long shot but it would be awesome to have your concert here, cheers!
Such a shame Papa Giuseppe pulled out of the sponsorship deal.
Long may he reign
A fantastic personal studio diary vlog 👍 open and honest.
It would be great to see what happened next and how it all planned out in a couple of months time

Gaming and METAL what a awesome DREAM but dude combine Anime too and youl see my world
Likely THE best & most accurate use of the word “synesthesia”! So glad you vlogged all this journey through the the Arcade Metal adventure. The cover artwork by Kim is pure genius & captures the essence of the album’s vibe! I’ll elaborate more on my thoughts on reviewing the album in my DMs to ya…
The rising rockstar, Andy Gillion.
I love that you've taken us through the whole process. Pretty awesome to see the back of it, it's something you normally never see. So brave you're doing this all by yourself, with a little help from you friends.
Also, I'm happy that I've watched this before I received the package, I would have been very surprised and probably sent it away... haha
Haha, thanks dude! Yeah, I wanted to show a bit more behind the scenes and not just the music!
Andy I can only admire you for all the effort and hard work you put in your music ,vids,vlogs and I can only say: I enjoyed everything you shared with us so far...big hug from germany 🤘❤
Danke! Big hugs to you too!
I think the shoes are Eddie’s. I get a Somewhere in Time/Killers vibe. Maybe someone snagged ‘em when he was busy slashing Thatcher.
Haha love it!
Awesome! I'm nearing the end of my own album, and I drew my album cover last week, and sent it off to an artist who is also based in Sweden 😁 so much effort and love put into these projects, and doing my own I can fully appreciate it dude!
Cheers Paul! Best of luck with your project!
The coin says one token, one play. So if I come with one to your gig - where does one insert it? I have some obvious ideas but since you're the creator and all, I thought you might want to weigh in on this.
Just walk around slotting it places until it fits somewhere :)
Sibelius, Suomi mainittu, torille!
Did you get any compensation from the vinyl company that fucked up the prints? I mean, that mistake was very unprofessional, shows that no one double checked anything.
Man, these spam bots are annoying.
Yeah so many these days it's ridiculous!
