this is really original, it's not every day you see a film that has a guitar solo to capture the pain and loneliness , then it picks up sort of angrily to get reminded of the pain and revenge, and then it just goes crazy...complete unrest, distraught, just dead but living, complete rancor.
He passionately plays his last guitar riff knowing that he has to finnish what he came back for and knowing at the same time that he will never get to live and love ever again
Theres something so deliciously edgey and goth about this scene. Batman broods on rooftops watching over Gothem. The Crow plays mournful guitar solos until sun rise. So iconic and unique. What a shame we only got one movie with this character.
@@theloverofmusic5617 I know right, but it had to be brandon lee, can you imagine if studio execs decided to make more movies and some shitty tv series with another actor? it be so awful, and would completely ruin the original story! Thank god we live in the world that didn't happen!
@@nicholasnapoleon7274 NOOOOO!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! THAT DIDNT HAPPEN!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! There are no star wars sequels after return of the jedi! there is no more indiana jones after the trilogy! and there is definitly no other crow movies and tv series after the first!
My take on the solo is that it represents Eric's former life. He's back, he can still rip on the guitar like he never missed a beat, but he's realizing that he can't stay. The guitar solo is only an echo of his past self, and he's forced to let it go. What was once a source of passion and creativity is now a reminder of everything he's lost. The way the crow patiently watches, it seems to know that Draven has to bid farewell to his previous life before he can confront his enemies and complete his vengeance.
Yes but remember he's only back because something so terrible happened he and his girlfriend were murdered violently so his spirit burdened even in death.
I couldn't agree more. Brandon made an amazing first and last impression in my mind. It truly is a shame he's gone. This movie will forever be in my memory as the best and most emotional film ever made. RIP Brandon Lee. Gone but never forgotten. 💕
Did you notice another version of this came up in silent hill? If you saw it that is! "Mother is God in the eyes of a child" I think I heard variations of it one or two other films too. It's a pretty good one
Anyway you'd wanna possibly share it with me? You'd sooo make me the happiest chick EVER. I named my son Draven bc it will always be my forever favorite movie... became a part of my soul since '94. RIP Brandon Lee & Eric Draven :)
Born in the 80s. Child of the 90s. Still alive in this mad 2022... But THIS is still the best guitar solo ever made! The feelings in this sound...the sadness, the shame, the pain, the desperation, the wrath gathering inside and the upcoming reckoning... You can touch those feelings with your very soul... And all of that just in this short piece of music...awesome. RIP Brandon and thank you so much for this masterpiece
I love how the song progresses from one emotion to another 0:00-0:45 is slow and somber, which represents the Crow’s sadness 0:47 turns from sadness to frustration and rage over who caused his pain in the first place
You know they shot the whole film in winter puring rain, wind and cold. Brandon lost a lot of weight before that terrible thing(not sure It was an accident) happend and he died
captivating as fuck. just a man and his guitar, filling the silence with a passionate, raw, and tearjerking solo. playing one last time before he has to leave it forever
People once believed that Hollywood was where epic stories originated, that when you sat down in a theater your soul would be carried to a land of wonder and dreams. But sometimes, something so bad happens to the stories you love that a terrible sadness is carried with it and your soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, only the original film can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right. If the movies we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving the originals. Box offices burn, franchises die, but real love is forever. RIP BL/ED.
Sometimes, someone writes a comment so good that you return to it for your soul can't rest without it. Thank you for writing the comment. I used to return for the solo and the scene. Now I return for the solo, the scene, and this very comment!
I just got out of the theater now from the new Crow movie, and no it has nothing on the original but I still really enjoyed it, they did a good job with what they had.
Jon "Bones" Jones, once the youngest ever UFC champion, has carried on the Jeet Kune Do legacy. Not a man one has beaten him with that training. He's now 32, still fighting and undefeated. 🇺🇸😎 be proud, not mournful.
People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.
I already died once now I'm back I was on life support from what people tell me a crow flew into the hospital and within a few minutes my eyes woke up and eventually everything was OK now I just live my life better than I did first time round I still expect my time will be up just like Brandon in this film I may of been given a second chance to do something but I don't know what it is
@@juliemillington9907 Незнаешь что именно?! А я знаю ) Прими пожалуйста ИСЛАМ Ислам это ИСТИНА Ислам - Значит верит в своего Создателя.Это Единобожие и вера в Его посланников,тоисть в Его пророков от Адама до последнего Пророка Мухьаммада (саллалахьу алейхьи ва салам) Мы в этом мире только для того чтобы поклоняться и верить в нашего Творца,быть Ему покорным следовать Его предписаниям,что бы после смерти когда Он нас оживит и после день суда,мы заслужили вечный Рай обещанный нам Богом.🥰
It’s sad that this guitar solo doesn’t have a name but it did I’d call it pain and loneliness cause that’s exactly what it expresses he’s eternal pain and loneliness
"They're ALL dead....they just don't know it yet. They DIED the moment they touched HER!" "The whole jolly CLUB! With jolly pirate NICKNAMES!" "Mr Gideon, you're not paying attention...A gold engagement ring, YES?!"
I used to play this during soundcheck at every show in every city a couple of my bands played in. Sometimes people didn't recognize it but it always felt great when they did.
My dad loved this solo and would play it for me after a long almost 20 years of him in heaven this hits me always.. hope you and Brandon are soaring high
Being a guitar player, I was mesmerised by this scene (though the whole movie floored me). You can hear the desperation and sadness turn into rage,chaos then destruction. Love it🤘🏻💜
0:54 When I heard the transition to this part, it gave me the chills, I am an avid rock music fanatic, and I have been wanting to learn this solo, I just don't have the proper equipment for it. Edit: Now I’ve completely learned it and it sounds dope!
When you walk in a graveyard there is no silence. Your ears lie to you and make it seem like there is no noise. Only when you listen close and quiet the din of your thoughts can you truly hear. The dead speak to you. Warning you of folly, praising your triumphs, and lamenting missed opportunities. Only in the company of the dead does the future become clear. The dead have seen all the tomorrows and know the horror of progress and the new thing......because the new thing isn't new. New package, new colors, new branding......but it is the SAME thing. The thing that steals your attention on the now. Steals your mind from thinking and growing. Steals your time with the real important things. When your time comes and death is knocking will you understand what the graveyards message was. Never waste time!
+Raven Bartimaeus I'd love to hear it if you play it on acoustic! I like hearing pieces played in different ways, it's interesting to me. And yes, I have the damn thing on replay...and every time it starts, I get hooked all over again. It's a vicious cycle, lol
Learned this solo just for my good friend who took his life. I used to drive him home every night when we worked together. We'd drink n smoke, watch 80s n 90s movies until the tv was watching us. His favorite movie was the crow of all movies we'd watched. Mo words, just emotions. All under 2 minutes, and it perfectly portrayed how i felt about the loss i experienced. Fucking miss you Mikey!!
I've never left the cinema so disappointed with a film in my life... The remake with Skasgård, it's incredibly bad, I don't want to spoil it but it's the worst film I've ever seen in my life, seriously, I'm not joking, the original is a masterpiece, and then it's my second favorite movie and they managed to ruin it instantly.
Thanks for affirming the direction that I was already going in… I have a disability that makes it hard to sit for long periods anyway, so I’m not going to invest a ton of pain into a cheap imitation of one of the best, and arguably the most tragic, “spirit of vengeance” movies I’ve ever seen
@@mediablindspotsYou're welcome. You have ADHD or something like that? I had ADHD for a while and I'm really Sorry for your disability and i personally agree with your opinion.
Of course the first film is gonna be the best. I feel like the second film though was even sadder. Because him and his son were just innocent bystanders who had nothing to do with any of the dreadful people. It could’ve been a really amazing cycle of Harvey Reinstein dinner ruined it
Still watching this movie in 2016-2017. Because it is fucking awesome compared to the recent CGI-bullshit which is produced nowadays. This is the way movies is supposed to be made imo.
When you’re just fed up with life and all the bad things that followed the good, you make a final farewell at the things you were so amazing or the best at 😭 RIP BRANDON
I will FOREVER credit this movie for inspiring me to pick up the guitar. I was 13, had a shitty start to middle school with the death of my grandfather. But the first scene when Eric is noodling on the guitar, was like light shining into darkness and I've been playing for 20 years. Long live this classic film and RIP Brandon Lee.🙏🎸🐦⬛
this song really gets to me. such a mixture of emotions going through him as he playing the guitar . this is got to be one of those best movies I've ever seen ever . you could say he was born for the role . rest in peace Brandon .
I just saw this movie for the first time. The movie is a couple years older than me..... It's a masterpiece. I'm obsessed, and it might have become one of my favorite films. The imagery, the music, the plot itself.... How much EMOTION Brandon put into the role. My favorite scene might be Eric's reenactment of his death, it was so beautifully done. I seriously love this. And again, this music! I'm in total awe. This movie will be on my mind for a very long time.
They bought my lazy drunk of a cousin a starter guitar and an amp because he wanted to learn this solo. 😂😂😂 yeah okay. It’s collecting dust somewhere next to dog doo doo. Ain’t no Dracula here pal. 😂😂😂
I have been looking for this short guitar solo for so long. I had hoped that there was a more complete version somewhere... but there isn't. This short solo evokes so many memories and emotions. Not just of Brandon Lee's tragic death, and the sheer greatness of this film, but of my own life. This is 1:37 long, and I keep listening to it over and over. This solo has haunted me for years. And there is only a meager 1:37 of it it seems in existence. I understand it completely in the context of the film. It is speaking volumes on so many emotional levels it can bring tears to ones eyes and light a fire in ones heart. But.... could they have just made an extended instrumental version and put it on the soundtrack for fucks sake!!
I remember my son was born the month he died in 1993, I was feeding him with the volume down on the tv and looked up to see Brandon Lee all over entertainment Tonight. I was excited about his new movie and tuned it up to hear he had died. It was so tragic. I thought of his fiancé and how horrible to lose him 3 weeks away from their wedding. It was like the movie played out in real life. Eric and Shelly never got to have their wedding and neither did Brandon and Eliza. Such a tragic loss. He had his whole future ahead of him, just started his career. All because some film production tried to cut costs and didn’t monitor safety. Still pisses me off after all these years.
