The Protomen is an American rock band best known for composing original concept albums loosely based on the popular video game series Mega Man. The Protomen have achieved a cult following thanks, in part, to an active and vocal internet fan base, intensely theatrical live performances, and a heavy touring regimen. -Wikipedia
Anyone else actually heard of these guys? I was shocked enough that we didn't already have a thread for this.
The Protomen are amazing. One of my favorite bands out there and their live shows are great. They're all great to talk to after their shows too and love their fans just like bands should.
I have seen the Protomen 3 times in my life. Every time they put on an amazing show in whatever Dive bar they play in. Definitely stick around after the show to hang out with them, they are the most chill people you can meet. especially commander and Raul, they went out of their way to give me directions to get out of the big city, even though they don't live there either.
"The fallen body of his brother at his feet, Megaman removed his helmet and began to walk away from the fortress. The remaining robots looked at their broken leader, then at Megaman. Without orders, they would neither advance nor retreat. With eyes full of rage, Megaman looked over the whole of Mankind, turned his eyes back to the robot army and lowered his head. Slowly, he loosened his grip on his battle-scarred helmet, letting it drop from his hand to the ground. The robots immediately turned from Megaman and cast their eyes towards the fortress. Dr. Wily stood high above the robots, high above the crowd of men, high above their broken heroes. With a wave of his hand, the robot army had their orders. They advanced on the crowd to punish them for their thoughts of rebellion. Men fell in waves. Those most eager to watch the bloodshed were the first victims of the slaughter. The sound of Machines marching into a screaming mass did not cause Megaman to turn. The sound of children crying for their mothers would not pull his gaze from the far edge of the city. The sound that finally caused Megaman to pause long enough to look back on the burning city was the voices raised over the din, chanting almost in unison:
Human Choir: We are the dead."
Fuuuuuuuuck man, it's just so good. I'm glad there's already a decent ish-thread so I don't have to make one, but god damn dude it blows my mind how people can make some fucking rock opera about fucking megaman that like, explains literally everything about how I feel about the world.
Fight on, you brilliant motherfucking machines, all of you.
