The best part about Scanlan’s performance is that technically he CAN be a one man band. In Dnd lore, bards can tap into the “song of creation” with their music. Scanlan is literally riffing so hard he’s making additional sounds with his magic.
Sammmmeeee I knew them fingers were getting tired by that point, so when they showed the extra hand and no pick anymore I knew he was on another lvl moment. Crisp is all I can say.
I just realised that in order to get that mage hand it would be exerting even _more_ mana. Think about it, he's already used some for the giant hand, he's having to use magic bard shit to keep the hand from vanishing and to keep it levitating, and when he starts struggling he uses _even more_ mana to summon the little hand to help him play because he's tiring out from both mana spent and playing the lute for so damn long while doing it. I haven't played D&D or know fuck all about it, but given loads of other magic systems and how he was getting tired, I assume when a magic user uses too much magic it starts to take a physical toll and they tire out. If not I apologise.
1:06 is no one gonna talk about how it was pretty smart for Grog to take off his clothes, because if he didn’t they would have been destroyed by the acid.
Eddie: Saves friends from Demobats by playing heavy metal in the upside down 🎸 Scanlan: Saves friends from acid by playing heavy metal 🎸 Marty: Saves parents’ marriage by playing heavy metal in 1955. 🎸 Metal saves the world 🎸🤘
I have a feeling they gonna end with the next meeting of Ripley. IDK, I have a feeling that what has happened after the incident would be a good finale for that because it's a GREAT setup for season 3 for what happened there and how they met Larkin and stuff, you know *sweats nervously while trying to hide spoilers from others*.
@@somebody6235 look for critical role episode 39 Omens (I think this is where the dragons attacked) - or 40. Those are long DND sessions thou, it's not animated.
This might be my favorite scene from this season. The tension of a slow acid death, the switch to heavy metal, and the team working together to synchronize their goals to escape! Peak story telling and just so much damn fun!
0:51 and 1:42 are by far my favorite parts. Characters showing extreme concentration to keep the entire party alive always hypes me up, plus Scanlan being 110% serious in a time of need is always nice to see.
I've actually pulled a Grog before (minus being healed), saw a key in a room, went to get it, and as it turned out, the room was holding a gelatinous cube, swam in it to get the key, and then swam out. Went in at 64 hp, came out at 12 hp. Would not recommend.
Scanlan making those con saves left and right to keep playing longer. TBH Vox Machina is one of my FAVORITE D&D shows ever. Its just so great, all the characters are awesome
I read often season one we only had a dumb Grog. I'm sorry but he displayed a serious level of courage and monstrous toughness to dive, swim and keep his breath in acid for so long.
The moment a normal lute becomes an electric lute with a distortion pedal 🤘 Also love the fact that he cast Scanlan's Hand to help with the tapping portion at 1:43
They do an amazing job of really showcasing each of the party members' strengths. Like, it would be very easy for Grog and Scanlan's characters to kind of just be jokes, but they really let the qualities they have shine without jeoprodising any of that idiotic energy.
This guy at my work (security guard) was watching this in one of the buildings that has a tv cause he was doing a 12 hour shift and basically on weekends kicks back watching anime. Saw this part and asked the name of the show, added it to my watchlist on prime video Grog is my favorite already
Suddenly everyone in whitestone felt the need to make a strange hand sing or wave torches in the air *After the metal solo was over* Scanlan: thank you Whitestone; good night!
yea, i actually wanted to include the last line at the end. but i decided against it, bc... youtube and censoring. didnt wanna get close to them. my mistake ;)
You know… one thing I’ve always wondered is, why didn’t Pike jump into the acid? I mean, aside from Grog volunteering himself with no hesitation, does an astral projection share damage with their physical form?

You know it's getting real when a bard mage of medieval age starts playing heavy metal! This was one of the greatest moments of the show!
Try watching The Doctor play a electric guitar...and he's playing the theme song!
You know it's getting real, when you are riffing so hard, magic drums start to play in the background!
I love when he gets rid of the pic and starts finger tapping
Hell yes, air guitar

@@ChessJourneyman you arent?
Scanlan riffs so hard the gods of Swedish black metal pay reverence.
Good luck getting that approved by a DM
I love grog jumping in with 0 hesitation
Truely a barbarian, embracing the role of meat shield
Grog is the kind of guy to not only jump naked into a pool of acid, but to do it, and not even hold his breath!
This is the Barbarian way
Hey either die in acid or jump in it to save everyone. That is a tough choice
I find that more awesome then Scanlan's heavy metal.
Proof that heavy metal is stronger force than anything else.
hell yea!
He even used "The Pick"!!
Eddie already taught us that from Brutal Legend.
Damn straight brother!
Hell yeah! Suck it friendship
When he used Mage Hand for all those hammer ons, I absolutely lost it!
He literally plays like he has 3 hands
Basically nubbing but he also uses his right hand to pick the strings. Fuckin metal
Sammmmeeee I knew them fingers were getting tired by that point, so when they showed the extra hand and no pick anymore I knew he was on another lvl moment. Crisp is all I can say.

Smart for anyone with an INT above 6
Below 6: Wet clothes feel nasty
But he opens his mouth under acid
@@Fellkun you would be too, for screaming, if you’re swimming in it…
Oh. I just thought he just removed them to avoid them getting wet, and that he always swims buff.Guess I have lower INT than a Barbarian.
@Rui Jie that is actually the reason. He doesn't like to wear wet clothes
DND has this weird ability to be simultaneously stupidly hilarious and genuinely epic. And this scene captures that vibe perfectly.
You can see and hear full well that the voice actors had SO MUCH FUN in every single scene they were recording! Love it... Free reign to go nuts!

Well, if ever he goes down to Georgia..

Is no one else going to give Grog credit for his perfect dive form?

Watching scanland shred chords like that make me love that I am a critter
Thanks for this!! Need Scanlan's heavy metal album now!!🤘🏽🤘🏽
Looks like Travis had a good point when he basically said you have to be really smart to pull of a dumb character well
I like how in order to keep playing he had to also use mage hand to give himself a third hand in order to shred even faster.
Scanlan making those con saves left and right to keep playing longer. TBH Vox Machina is one of my FAVORITE D&D shows ever. Its just so great, all the characters are awesome
Wait till Mighty Nein.

"You have to be insane to go i-
- I'M GOING IN"
I read often season one we only had a dumb Grog. I'm sorry but he displayed a serious level of courage and monstrous toughness to dive, swim and keep his breath in acid for so long.
He's too dumb to be afraid. :-)
Using Mage Hand for hammer ons is a trick my bard is ABSOLUTELY stealing.
So much bardic inspiration he invented like a dozen musical genres.
The moment a normal lute becomes an electric lute with a distortion pedal 🤘 Also love the fact that he cast Scanlan's Hand to help with the tapping portion at 1:43
When the bard literally carries the team.
Get used to it, because Scanlan was MVP at the table in almost every encounter. We haven't seen the last of Scanlan the Clutch, not by a long shot.
Months after watching the show and this is the scene that I just can't get out of my head. Damn I love Vox Machina
They do an amazing job of really showcasing each of the party members' strengths. Like, it would be very easy for Grog and Scanlan's characters to kind of just be jokes, but they really let the qualities they have shine without jeoprodising any of that idiotic energy.
Thus, the pick of destiny was created.
1:42, best part! Love that part of the music.
I loved this scene so much
Ive watched this moment hundred times and it just doesn't get old. Make ten more seasons please
This also contains one of the funniest Grog moments
yea, i kinda feel bad for ending the vid before his question/statement sometimes ;)
funny? this was EPIC!
This guy at my work (security guard) was watching this in one of the buildings that has a tv cause he was doing a 12 hour shift and basically on weekends kicks back watching anime.
Saw this part and asked the name of the show, added it to my watchlist on prime video
Grog is my favorite already
I literally just finished watching this scene, and instantly came to CZcams to watch it again.
The first instance of Scanlan playing the series' OST, a genius move.
Prolly the most hype scene in season 1.
Suddenly everyone in whitestone felt the need to make a strange hand sing or wave torches in the air
*After the metal solo was over*
Scanlan: thank you Whitestone; good night!
I love how grog starts saying "I'm going in", even before Keyleth finishes saying "You'd have to be insane to ...."
Grog living life to the fullest no regrets or overthinking
Overthinking, implies he actually thinks about anything for more than half a second.
Epic series, can’t wait for season 2
2, I want 5 or 7
This is one of the best, most well paced shows ever!
This takes the term ''Vox Machina" to the next level
Please tell me I'm not the only metalhead grinning from ear to ear watching this.
Scanlan just being the canonical reason for all the sick music going on in the background lmao
Every sane person:
Grog: I'M GOING IN!!!
Grog has his eyes wide open while swimming naked in acid, that is metal as fuck
This is honestly one of the best scenes in all of animation.
ah yes totally legend of kora.
One of the most dnd scenes to ever dnd
This scene and "Rage" in the second season are some of my favorites
This makes me want to listen to Tenacious D's "the metal"
Honestly they outdid themselves with this show
If anyone wasn't before, for whatever reason, after this scene, they are taking Grog seriously.
I feel like pyke loves heavy metal from this scene
One of the best parts of the show. That and Grog's comeback
01:43 is fire! Through the acid and waves :D
I love he even uses his mage hand to play
While holding them at the same time with another??? Pretty cool
Scanlan is the ultimate bard. He can do ballads, rap, shanties, heavy metal, and country.
Sam reigel's music is next level. HEAVY METAL!!!
The most impressive part of this is how quickly Grog can undress.
the most intense 2 minutes of pulling levers in cinema history
I saw this here and now I’ve watched the whole show.
Watching this, I started head banging when Scanland started playing metal
Grog is a fucking BEAST
This is the perfect mix of hilarity and awesome.
I do love that a lot of the music in this series is diegetic courtesy of Scanlan. His Bard powers can’t be underestimated
Imagine having your flesh burned away by acid, only to be healed and burned away again.
grog is a beast!
"i'm going in!"
God this is still by far my favorite scene out of all of season 1. The music, the teamwork, THE MUSIC.
anyone else find it hilarious that ripleys hands are tied together when all she has is a stump on one hand and can easily slip out?
Scanlan power guitaring gives me life
Scanlan should have been a warlock whose Patron is Ozzy.
Grogg is just a badass XD
indeed!
and so far he is leading in my grog vs scanlan coolness league for season 2.
slightly, but leading ;)
It's because Scanlan I will never think that the bard is a stupid class ever again
Barbarian in one badass quote: brains has the smarts, but stupid has the balls
"I'm going in!"
*Free fanservice*
Bruh this was the best part of the entire show so far my guy just whipped out his inner van Halen on a lute xD
When I heard this I was like oh shit Scanlan could literally make his own boss fight music 🤟🔥
Dude didn't even hesitate to jump off. With or without the healing.
This was such a D&D moment.
And there is the inclusiveness we need and we not even asked for
Hey, Wizards from the Coast, include a new magic on the next D&D edition: "Power Song: Bard Metal"
oi wey... wizards ain't too happy bout critical tho ;)
guess why they try to rewrite that OGL atm to get some of that cashflow
uh for the record, the new vid i uploaded (grogg vs the horde of storms) was instantly blocked ;)
wizards doing wizards
Having an extra hand to do the tapping somehow reminds me of dragon force. That's just too epic.
Grog: I'm going in !!!
Me: that boy got ball of adimantium for jumping into acid ..
Is captain Winky still there?.
