Metal Gear Rising - Stains of Time (Sly Shinobi Mix) 

Parrying tutorial never had better soundtrack

"Monsoon knew he was 2 inches away from becoming a sonic oc, and i fucking dig it."

It never really occured to me until now that the Monsoon fight and the "I'm lightning" scene from MGS4 share their thematic core. In both, Raiden is heavily damaged, either mentally or physicaly. But by having someone else change his perspective, either Snake or Sam, he is able to overcome this hurdle and become closer to his true self. Adding to this, a monsoon is a wind that causes severe rain, like what Raiden describes happened during his birth. Meaning by questioning his morals and letting go of his restrains, he is "reborn" in a sense, being the lightning that splits the rain. Both figurativly and very literaly

I for one would love to see a crossover mix of DMC and MGR music

holy hell it’s been a while

I am Remix, The soundtrack transformed

Possibly the second best boss in the game, other than NANOMACHINES, SON!, due to the fact that it takes a game mechanic that people probably didn't use much up to that point, and makes you a master of it in just a single fight.

MEMES.....THE DNA OF THE SOUL

I demand you to do metal gear doggo next PLEASE

2:14 My favorite line. It gives me chills about both Raiden and Monsoon

Impressive Shinobi! It's time for your final interview! Make "It Has To Be This Way Orchestral version" or sing it either way you earn a medal :D

"Kept you waitin', huh?"

"I Am Lighting, The Rain Transformed" goes so fucking hard

Dude, I just wanted to say your Stranger I Remain mix is probably my favorite bit of Metal Gear music this side of Sins of the Father, and I'm super excited to see what you do going forward, now that you're getting back into this. You have more than earned my subscription sir, and I applaud you.

*e x q u i s i t e*

This song makes me turn into a being of pure energy with no weaknesses

“Such a pretty mix. Exquisite.”

"Into a peaceful life Like a flood of pain" sounded like (They're gonna pay) Damn nice move

I've never been so happy.

Making the mother of all remix here Jack!! can't fret over every soundtrack!

Holy hell, i listened to your mix of a stranger i remain today, i knew you were gonna eventually do another mix but damn

kept us waiting hun. :)

After all these years... HES BACK, BABY! THIS PARTY IS GETTIN CRAZY!

Sounds like a round 2 theme. Like if monsoon survived and returned for payback.

HE'S BACK LADIES AND GENTS

What's funny is that I was so trash at parrying that I beat Monsoon by stunning him with stun grenades and beating his ass while he was defenseless. Every problem has a solution I guess lmao

I just found out that Monsoon and I have these similarities: Connected to Rain✔️ Can dismember limbs✔️ Serve the man that will make America great again✔️ Fought a MC with a killer mode✔️ Wear a mask✔️ Long hair✔️

Stains of Time this is my favorite theme)

I knew the day would come. Great Job!

Fighting memes has never been more epic Jack!!! All these years and it remains true. Can't beat Lorentz force Jack!!!

Fun fact: Monsoon is canonically blind

Love the way your mixes play on the parallels between Raiden and his opponents, you’re really good at mixing audios!

Memesoom of the memes of destruction.

This game is one my favorites and most underrated of all time

People saying that this boss fight is what made them learn parrying, but in my case it was Sam's. I completed monsoon fight without parry and or dodge parry so uh.

I can't Stop *LISTENING*

That "I am lightning" part from MGS4 hit me haaaaard.

Now there's a pretty mix. Exquisite!

Like a flood of come

You're breathtaking!

I don't think this soundtrack even needs a remix to sound better, it is just pefect!

Sent actual chills down my spine and caused me to scratch myself as a result in class, 10/10

I'm sitting here, 11PM making a playlist for my next gaming session and now i want to replay MGR:R Another few times and try to no hit revengeance mode which i will fail because i've never finished Chapter 0 on revengeance standalone on very hard

The more I have listened to Stains of Time over the years, the more I have become convinced it's Jack's theme, not Monsoon's.

*"Hey Jack, ever been to the washington monument?"*

Holy shit i love this remix. Pls keep making things like this whit Metal Gear Rising

I am burger the cow transformed

Me: well, time to call it a day and remove my earphones. Sly: *uploads remix of revengeance song* My ears, about to go deaf: Ah shit. Here we go again.

Did anyone else think when the sound of the lightning happen they picture Raiden rushing the last standing enemy before slicing him?

absolutely amazing mix, gives a complete new energy to the song :D

Magnetic power, *nature's power, Jack!* P.S. I'm glad you're back.

JACK IS BACK !

My god, you have so much talent, keep them coming!! wishing to see an "It has to be this way" mix someday!

Fear the unseen much, Sly Shinobi?

And It certainly will come

And it will come!

As the prophecy foretold, Sly Shinobi has returned

Yes!

god bless you in all of his glory

0:14 it will WHAT!!

Godly mixs

"Let me tell you a story, Jack. Don't worry, it'll be short. I heard what you did; all those murders, slaughter. Hell; you already got some of the Winds of Destruction good already! But the one thing you said before you cut down a whole room of people: 'I am lightning, the rain transformed' was it?" "I don't have time to hear your bullsh-!" "That clicked with me, you know." Monsoon interrupts and continues "Because you're right. You're bright, Jack. A great warrior, that I will admit. However your flashiness and tenacity will only prove to be your downfall. And like lightning, you will disperse and leave behind the storm of people trying to be just like you." "Just like me? What crazy bullshit are you spitting now?" Raiden points his sword to Monsoon "You think all these people are old, worn soldiers who needed a quick buck to live like Samuel said? No...some of these are young, impressionable kids. Some not even over fourteen Jack!" "And they just said ok to that!?" "Of course Jack. You're cutting through the Old Guard so fast they're getting desperate. And since these impressionable teens and young adults heard of your heroics against the Patriots, they wanted to be just like you, to be a hero. Only to realize in an effort to be just like you, they will be shredded by their own hero." Raiden stumbles a bit as a breathing begins to become labored "L-liar!" "Check the reports and receipts, Raiden. Hear their voices as they taunt you. They're just kids. But like you said, you're lightning, the rain transformed. Lightning doesn't give a shit where, when, or who it strikes; just that it's able to get its energy out and is already gone by the time your wake, your thunder, explodes around the storm that is the globe." Raiden falls to the floor "Look around you, look at all the men around us, they all wanted to be like you. They're here because of you. All those you turned into meat pies, had that happen to them because of you. And yet you tear out and drink their guts like they're nothing more than fish at a bar. It's a good thing it's raining this heavy, Jack. Because otherwise you could see all these men's tears of being lied to by you." "I...I may cause impressionable people to fall to stupid decisions, but...if it means in the long run I can save far more people from this suffering..." Raiden grips his sword while still on his knees "I...I will keep fighting. I will slash and kill until peace is restored, no matter what it takes." "Hah!" Monsoon turns away from Raiden as he flicks away some of his hair that got in his face "Then what? Once 'peace' is restored and people find out you inspired then murdered countless young men and women? Then what will they think? I know, that's for sure." Monsoon turns around and looks at Raiden "You'll be court martialed; you will be rejected, and even if you flee to avoid capture for your crimes, you'll never be seen as a hero, you'll be the new villain, Jack." "If I'm rejected and shunned from humanity for what I did..." Raiden gets up and points his sword at Monsoon, red aura rising from his armor "I'll fight as I always have, no matter the storm that follows!"

Wow, I just finished listening the Stranger I Remain remix and checked the channel to see if there was more, and I got a good surprise of seeing this. Thank you for this!

Wash away the anger Here I stand beneath The warm and soothing rain The droplets falling Gently down on the terrain Wash away the sorrow All the stains of time But there's no memory It's only dry inside In the mud and sinking deeper Into a peaceful life And it will come Like a flood of pain Pouring down on me And it will not let up Until the end is here And it will come Through the darkest day In my final hour And it will never rest Until the clouds are clear Until it finds my dreams have disappeared My dreams disappear

Magnetic Power

Now there's a pretty theme, exquisite!

My favorite version of this song! It just starts so strong!

Everyone of the themes/songs in #MGR added so much epicness and depths to the oh-so KICK-A** and BEAUTIFUL fights/battles in the game, and Monsoon's theme here is no different!!! \m/ #MetalGearForLife #MonsoonsTheme #RockOn

I would like to see Raiden as a Wind of destruction. How he would look like, his name, everything

You amplified the best part of the track: those insanely satisfying guitar riffs! Thank you so much

Notice that my man has not made my theme

HOLY... You are actually alive! Please keep on doing those awesome mixes!

RU-vid remixes, Jack! The DNA of MGR in 2019!

Can you please do a Rules Of Nature remix next?

Ive never seen a remix go this hard

Wow i like how u really change music(not add some effects like many DJs) but keep original idea/drive! Keep it up good work!

I don't think this music needed a remix. But i appreciate it very much.

Kept us waiting, huh?

"into a peacful life, A FLOOD OF PAIN!" Truly inspiring

Thank you so much i waited so long for this i hope we see more

One of my top 5 favorites! 1. Sam 2. Armstrong 3. Monsoon 4. Sundowner 5. Bladewolf

So this is shinobis terrifying true form

Parrying is no longer optional.

He's back!, the God of Remix is back!

This makes me wanna fight monsoon but without parrying.....hold on I already had done that when I played for the first time.

Nice callback to Metal Gear Solid 4 in the beginning there.
