Rex Viper Live...Again...Portland Retro Gaming Expo: A Review 

Big Frankie Fan BTW.

Is Sly aware?

*hearts on fire fades in*

Very aware

but it’s 5:45 and Frankie has no time to climb the rex viper mowtan and comment on this video; what do you want him to do, suffer? 😂

xD should have pinned this comment. cheers

Leave mike out of this shit!!

They already released the Mike Matai track ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gzX-M9Rz-J0.htmlsi=G0BuUjZFtFuq4L_5

Tracks? Five of um!

March of the Slobs bwahaha

STEP RIGHT UP

I'm glad they're motivated to put out more music, and I'm glad it's all super untalented and cringy because it means we get more reviews like this one, and therefore more entertained. If they were any good their music would be unbearably boring, in my opinion... who wants to hear a bunch of middle aged soccer dads play "Eye of the Tiger" anyway? I certainly don't. But to watch them awkwardly struggle through 80s hits, and to hear someone who knows about music and music production tear it apart? Golden. I'm here for it.

I'm not sure there are that many people telling them they are good. The Rex Viper youtube channel was full of comments of people telling it how it is. Not even being mean really but ole Bimmy Rolfe couldn't handle it and disabled the comments. It's alright for him to rip on someone else's work on a videogame or movie but don't you dare criticize anything he does.

Who exactly is praising them? They aren't good, but they are just doing something that they enjoy. Who gives a s**t? It's not like they are doing it for fame and money lol. They are just doing something that they enjoy, as anyone else would surely do if they had the means and opportunity to do so. I find it a bit ridiculous for someone from another thoroughly mediocre band with a tiny following who makes thoroughly cliched and generic music that has been done a million times before, to talk down about another band and talks s**t on them as if he has any room to talk or is some sort of objective authority on music. Especially when he has criticism such as "they shouldnt bother doing this because it's been done before" when he himself makes unoriginal music that has, if anything, been done far more than the music that he is criticizing. It smacks of hypocrisy and a lack of self-awareness.

No, keep telling them they're amazing. This is hilarious

it's true!

True venomheads just soak in the glory that is BimBam and Wet Diaper. Hisssss 🐍🐍

🤣

it was my pleasure but thank you for recognizing my plight.. at this point if they came anywhere near me i think i'm obligated to see them live... and they better not be good!

What money 😢😢😢

10k subs and 3k views? hey that might be like thirty bucks!​

To me that's the finale, you seeing them fucking LIVE.

Lol I love Ghost, but acting like making a video while sick is some noble act is glazing

"entertainment"

i thought it was a harrer show

James is looking like a midlife crisis right now

​@@eddiearniwhatever "musical"

They just don’t have the time

@@RealJMCproductions No time to practice either

mighty chicken legs- james's favorite

my final cut x skills at peak functionality

the sad thing is... i know im going to have to review it

Yes, certainly.

he'll only ever get these crowds at game conventions. If Rex Viper were at a real festival they would just get vacant stares from the crowd at best

It’s mostly Due to connections and fandom, I mean, one of their gigs was at a convention out on by screenwave themselves lol

that rock'n'roll lifestyle even hits the nerds come to find out.. those 5 shows really weighed on him these past 3 years...

I cant wait for a VH1 behind the music on Rex Viper

Too many faborje eggs.

He's the front man of one of the 'best' rock bands out there! He must have numerous hot women after him all the time. Being hassled by fans wherever he goes, he's like Axl Rose back in the early 90's - it's hell of a lot to handle...

yeah it's really weird when that happens considering James' gravitational pull via cinemassacre.. i guess rex viper is too out of orbit to enjoy those same view counts.. you like all of the outer space puns?

@@DancingwithGhosts Keep the space puns coming!

thank you thank you

Too bad Cooper Folly couldn’t make it. I would have loved to see his Sound Table in action!

the keyboardist could've at least played it lol

@@DancingwithGhosts I would go to see Dino, he's legit talented, and I think he knows it. I dig the synth....until that idiot starts screaming.

He was basically the Larry David AVGN

that's true! and for that i am thankful

big frankie fan

im just amazed at how limited James' skillsets are... he's great at popping out cheap, fun internet video content (or used to be at least) but doesn't know the first thing about sound or simply even wrapping your chord around your guitar strap so you dont accidently yank out the output jack if you step on your own chord (or get inexpensive wireless units like i use on stage and dont worry about it entirely). Getting a board recording is very easy to do i can't believe nobody in their camp knows how to make that happen

@@DancingwithGhosts Surely it's just asking the venue ahead of time and worse case senario providing a little tascam portable recorder they can put an output on,

@@DancingwithGhosts Mate, at any "important" Dancing with Ghosts show, can you please promise me you'll do everything in your power to record audio of it properly?

@@livecoilarchive1458 we haven't really had a reason to do that but it's an idea that has appealed to me in the past.. i just take cell phone video of us just for quality review purposes after we play and it still somehow sounds better than this

It looked like a bad attempt to HC dance... Without the energy

GUESS NAWWWWT!

As if I’m not aware

this is my ''greatest hit''

maybe.. probably wouldn't make a video about it though because it wouldn't get any views, but i would critique it in private via email if you're interested in that

It really is tragic to watch. Rex Viper have had more than enough chances to improve and they just don't. The crowd look like they're attending a funeral. If music is good, you feel it, and they aren't feeling anything beyond a White Claw buzz.

It's weird because Rolfe is so talented and entertaining in one way, but super inept in another. His movie was garbage, his band is garbage, but the videos he made with the assistance of his college friends (before he teamed up with the "slobs") are timeless classics. Go figure.

@@eddiearniwhatever exactly, he was definitely mislead by cinemassacre.

@@frogman9989 I feel like the Screenwave taint has tarnished everything that was good about AVGN. Changing all the thumbnails, taking out all of matei’s title cards, putting new video links that cover up the end of some of the older videos, etc. that and James’ refusal to listen to and answer his fans concerns about the channel when the faces we knew and liked suddenly disappeared and instead here comes Ryan. Where’s Bootsy? You all announce he’s doing a show and then radio silence, Kyle Justin just suddenly no longer shows up, Mike Matei stops making content, then the slobs forced down our throats on top of mediocre AVGN episodes. But we’re all “assholes” for wondering why the channel we helped support is in the toilet. I’m done with the whole thing.

@@mikemccann978 yeah, I hear ya. I really think the Nerd movie messed up James self-esteem. He has not been the same since then. I definitely miss the entire old school crew, his real friends. These guys pulling his strings are really awful.

ah snap you've never seen those before?! enjoy my friend they are fucking hilarious.

i guess since it says "rhythm" and he's the "rhythm" guitarist, he thought that was the switch he had to slip 😂

@@DancingwithGhosts I actually thought about the same thing! Lolz

bahahahaha maybe he was speaking Welsch

@@DancingwithGhosts That poor man is ruining his vocal cords by even trying. He's going to have a heart-attack on stage.

yeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

you gotta go in disguise to a show, you know that's the next step @@DancingwithGhosts

"L. Ron Hubbard: Madman or Messiah?" and "Scientology 0-8", now it's up to you to figure out if i'm a scientologist or an SP

search Divoom on amazon

yeah.. no technique whatsoever.. i'd be interested in what experience he had in music before he did this project because it sounds like he's just going in raw without any vocal warm-ups or even a ''hey guys can we bring the keys to these songs down a step or two so i still have a voice in the 2 years?"

Maybe they actually want him to sound like a random person.

@@DancingwithGhosts apparently his name is also James

@@bigshortstop1931 yeah everyone in the band is named James.. i guess it's like that thing where George Foreman named all his kids George, even the girls

oh i've listened to the audiobook.. i thought about it but i feel like red cow did such a good job it would be a little redundant if i did my own review, we share a lot of the same audience when it comes to cinemassacre

i will say his ''house mates'' or whatever goofy ass term he used to describe 'roommates' does really eat at me... also his mellow-dramatic attempt to un-alive himself made me cringe pretty hard, trying to garner some kind of sympathy from the audience knowing there was no way he was actually going to do that annoys me given the amount of people i know with real mental health problems.. geez now that im thinking about it maybe i do have enough material to make a video

@@DancingwithGhostsI felt that way too. There was a video I saw where the creator got to this part of the book and basically compared James filming his roommates nonsense to being the cameraman at a snuff film. Sure he wasn’t TECHNICALLY doing anything wrong but he wasn’t doing anything RIGHT either. He hides behind him being a “FILMMAKER” to excuse himself. I also got the sense that ol’BimmyBoy doesn’t realize how much of an influence he truly is. He doesn’t understand that RU-vid was his true calling and as a result, got stuck in the past and resents the Nerd for his perceived lack of fulfillment.

Yes, roomgoers 😂

I don't know if his book is a success or not; but judging from most of the comments on his avgn videos, I wouldn't think there are many readers. Im a fan and a reader, but Ill never waste my time reading it. I let RedCow do all the heavy lifting... @@DancingwithGhosts

yep and if their own separate youtube channel is any indicator... they dont have any ACTUAL fans... or very minimal at best

look up Bit Brigade's tribute to the Mega Man 2 soundtrack... that... is how it's done.. just to watch the bassist alone tackle those crazy synth basslines on a real bass guitar is a marvel in and of itself

yes absolutely more tier videos! and the megaman is some pixel art thing that just came like that

Yes, certainly.
