- Bit Brigade slams it out as castlevania has its digital donkey handled. Then suprise guest challenger Contra appears to experience deliverance by the skilled hand of the stalwart band. A breathtaking feat of survival... and ROCK!!!

Not enough credit goes to this drummer. He is truly a fucking hero.
dude saw them live this year and yes.... he is the MVP
Dude definitely throws his sack into it.
Sickness
I really appreciate that the NES gaming experience master waited on Contra Stage 2 Boss to allow the song to complete instead of railroading it as fast as he could. What a professional.
This concept is absolute madness perfected on a gaming level and musical level. Its absolutely genius but also so so well done.
Omg hearing Wicked Child made me so happy, that’s my favorite Castlevania song. 5:50
This happens when The Minibosses play it too, but it always cracks me up when the crowd sings along to the "chorus" of Castlevania Stage 3
WICKED CHILD LA LA LA WICKED CHILD LA LA LA
Beautiful memories.... excellent band. Loved it.
Oh my God! In the Contra part, so many memories, beautifully done. Orgasmic!
The stage 1music, boss music at the 2&4 stage, and the final stage music i love the most...😍
Just seen you guys live! You guys rocked so hard!!
i need to see this band live. would they ever play at events in britain though. the mega man 2 runthrough blew my head and i loved this
YEAH :D. Fantastic to hear and watch another Bit Brigade concert :D. Please upload more :D
Theyre still touring 2022 - we'll be there at the first show in ATL!
This is the coolest shit I've ever seen. If there was a live stream that showed nothing but Bit Brigade 24/7 I don't think I would ever turn it off.
You guys put on a hell of a show, I'd highly recommend Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge - for a game boy game I personally think it has one of the best soundtracks of the whole damn franchise. I think you guys would wail for the New Messiah and Original Sin tracks. Much respect.
FORREAL MAN!! New Messiah/Crystal Castle is insaaaaane how does the Gameboy not burst into flames??
This was beyond cool. Just epic
this is beatuful my childhood is back :¨) castlevania the best saga ever
I would love to see how these guys do on Castlevania 4
This was FIRE!
Epic castlevania cover.Makes me want to replay CV1.
I'd cry like a baby if I was there.
素晴らしい・・・感動した！
excellent! just amazing!
The guy playing the games is damn good.
Damn dude.. I hope our VG band gets that big one day! Awesome show... that drummer is sick btw
no bloody tears is the best!! 11:11
Bloody Tears is in simon's quest
I wish I were there. Awesome :)
Man I love this
JUST EPIC!!!!!!! I AM SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!
I love NES castlevania from Japan. subscribed you
Nintendo Entertainment System IS an instrument, confirmed.
Still watching this in 2021 ! ! !
Super C insert was nice!
if only we all could play nintendo like this
The Nintendo is an instrument. Evidently so is an oven. Think those guys need to start a duo project.
This could be a huge live!
All time great Castlevania
Castlevania was going good then contra jungle jam came and that was Epic man hands down
I LOVE BIT BRIGADE I WISH I WENT
The Most Beautifull Song 5:50
That's Wicked Child for ya'. One of the greatest video game songs of all time.
I finally beat Castlevania as an adult tonight also beat contra on first life, no turbo couple weeks ago. Proud of that.
That effing lights guy during their contra set.
34:31 full on prog rock in a video game, the composers at Konami were the shit back in the day!!
Right?! It's so funny how as children we take music at face value and just jam to it either way, I know my brain certainly didn't register those bars of 5/8 and 7/8 that they sprinkle into that track. Konami in general were as you say masters at throwing in some odd meters here and there without it being jarring at all. Godlike!!
So badass!!!!
muito bom !
The Contra Part is best of all!!!!
also this is incredibly badass.
the drummer is badass! jesus tap dancing Christ!
Just when I thought Doom 2016 OST live at TGA2016 was the most epic shit I find these guys
These guys are fucking awesome but they'd be even more awesome if they tuned their instruments beforehand.
+MrOlzari1 People keep talking about that. Actually I like the dissonance.
+MrOlzari1 I havent really noticed that, but what would be awesome is if anybody could get the files from/ record from the board!! It would take it to the next level. I love these guys and the videos, but the audio is always from a goddamn camera. I want their live tracks! And who ever is running sound at mag fest needs another over head mic lol
I'm also in a video game cover band and a lot of the NES tracks are all over the place on the guitar, mostly in the high end. It's hard to keep good intonation throughout the whole neck of the guitar.
^True. We're also all so used to hearing them in pitch perfect cpu renditions, live music is a bit of a different beast.
What BB does better than other video game bands (although they should do more of it) is incorporate different tonalities throughout their performance. They don't pump it up to 11 on every song constantly, they have crescendoes and decrescendos when necessary to capture the mood and atmosphere, instead of just 45 minutes of thrashing. Their moody cover of Red Brinstar on Metroid is a good example.
HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! AMAZING
this makes me miss my Nes so badly, too bad it died like 3 years ago, after my lil brother didnt knew how to insert a game so he started hitting the console and it died ;(
+El Slendermaster mine died 3 years ago too. my brother drop some water in it and it died. miss my nintendo soooo bad dude.
totally heart this!
that would be cool if they had stage props like Gwar!
am love it 😍
Man wish I could have seen that :(
Sandinista is a great ending song for Contra!!
3:34 oh that song
Please excuse my language, but fuckin' awesome! The Contra portion blew me away.
dude makes Contra look so easy
nice !!
I was there.
I can't believe I never knew to kill death that way. Generally I would be killed by death.
That's usually how it works, mate. Death kills you, not the other way around :v
This is making me thing of Gauntlet which also had killer music- the tengen original. The second one was only cool if u had four friends and the four score
Contra a Manly game oh yea!!!
Thanks, fixed
Fuck, i got hit right in the nostalgia :'(
7:40 aquarius from castlevania iii!
20:12 fucking GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should do one with Double Dragon II :D that would make us happy
Uh, Double Dragon one’s got the tunes. The only thing two had over one was if ur friend came over u could play at the same time
At the time of this writing, I wonder who the TWO people were who gave this vid a thumbs down....
I wonder if getting the performance rights for the compositions was difficult?
you don't need any rights when you are playing live music
Is it weird to be turned on by NES speed runs
please tell me they have CDs, and if not, give these people a deal.
NAME OF THE SONG PLS :D
A shame the sound quality is not so good.
Simon BAMF!
halftime at @29:40 - BOSS.
you got level 4 and 6 switched
Dude! You are fucking awesome!!! :DD
Wanna make a game with your music? If you do, let me know!
Why in stage 7 it sounded like super c
Because it was. Better than playing the "jungle" theme again!
Aj Retro your so right i like super c better the challenge is better the music is awesome it deserves more love than the first one.
I wonder why people don't use the Rapid weapon in contra, I saw AVGN with mike avoid all the Rapid and now this guy. However your Spread turn so fast with all the Rapid
+Grand Jacques No doubt, I guess some people don't realize you can combine it with any weapon. Spread with Rapid fire is almost unstoppable.
+Grand Jacques BTW I think he did grab it, not the first one but halfway through the first level.
To bad the lead guitar is way to quiet.
YOU FACK IS CONTRA 2
What happens if dude dies in the game?
Sherm Hart probably prerecorded
It's happened. They just start the music over.
The 20 dislikes are the zombies and skeletons Simon didn't even bother to whip. They're just bitter.

What....did I just read?
AGGRHHHHH!! I"M BLIND!
Read my translation if you guys' eyes get screwed :)
Nice what you should do and I've been posting this kind of comment before tell Konami make Collection Games Konami: Castlevania and Contra Collect. I've never heard this but I love the respect and love you sure/ super high output (?) to retro ? Hollywood has been doing this and movies the last few years, Capcom, Sega know what is up. Somebody tell Konami old Konami call, wonder why they got shut out, put out and forgotten for no reason.
Note: I'm not a native speaker of English, so if my translation was wrong... don't yell at me, poyo XD
Sounds horrible
