The Megas - The Quick and The Blue (enhanced edition) 

Your speed means nothing if it's death that you're running from.

I just love what The Megas did with the MM2 robot masters! Non of them are sane from Heatman thinking he’s in hell and talks to the corpses, with Flashman being a creepy stalker, Airman literally want to destroy everything, Bubbleman’s chronic depression, Metalman sees his fight with Megaman as nothing more then a game, Quickman is so delusional that thinks he’s the sheriff in an old Wild West town! The only semi sane ones are Crashman who still wants to die to beat Wily and Woodman who simply wants revenge for what Megaman did to his brothers

This song pisses me off so much. It's about a video game Australian robot version of the flash turned into a cowboy, and it is one of the best written songs I've ever heard. Why is it so good? It's about a freaking video game boss, WHY IS IT SO GOOD?

I'd honestly have to say the acoustic version of this song in particular is even better because it amplifies the Western feel so much more, making it feel like a duel in the Wild West.

The best part about it is that Josh is using his deeper singing voice, which he mainly used in the History Repeating albums. The first time I heard History Repeating songs, I thought there was a different lead singer to that of Get Equipped. It's good to hear Rev Breeding use his current singing voice in these classic songs!

This song actually got me to look into The Megas. I'm a big fan of The Protomen, picked up MM25 since they had a new single on it and was completely blown away by this and Man On Fire though and got into The Megas just in time for History Repeating: Red.

This was always my favorite Megas song and this version totally knocked it out of the fucking park. Amazing rendition of an amazing song.

I approve

They say he appeared in a doorway Boomerangs at his sides The fate that he would defy... A mega man is coming to die! Wait now, there's too much at stake now There he goes... He looked to the distance and cried "The man in blue has arrived!" Quick on the draw In this town, I am the law Is what they say true? Does death wear blue? Can he fall? It was then That the crowd saw the quick man He knew that he couldn't tell them He was the quickest of all... Would this be the day that he falls? Wait now, there's too much at stake now A cold wind blows... He looked at the crowd and he cried "The moment of truth has arrived!" Quick on the draw In this town, I am the law Is what they say true? Does death wear blue? Can he fall? My circuits slow I'm not scared anymore I see the faces of my brothers that have fallen before My circuits slow I'm not scared anymore Reach for my weapon and in turn you're reaching for yours My circuits slow What they said is a lie The shots are heard and the bullets scream death as they fly My circuits slow I'm not scared anymore This is the moment that we have been created for My circuits slow My moment has come Your speed means nothing if it's death that you're running from My circuits slow I'm not scared anymore I join the ranks of my brothers that have fallen before You're too quick on the draw... Burn this town - there is no law What they say's true - Death does wear blue He can't fall...

11 seconds in, chills. Thanks for making music, guys.

Oh my god! This was my jam back in the day, this recording was freaking exhilarating! I literally couldn't contain the build-up and broke into a full-out drum solo at work!

I really like this version of The Quick and the Blue. I always like to imagine a crackle of a record playing during the very start, when the trumpet plays.

i was clenching my fists, doing an imaginary megaman 8 bit running across the screen thing while sitting in my chair. MegaMan Never Stops! i fucking love this band!

Moral of the story: never bring boomerangs to a gun fight.

Listening to this immedatley takes me back to my freshman year of High School, where I would listen to this, and other megas songs on the bus to school in the morning

I'll never stop coming back to listen to this song. It's just such a banger.

So, Quick Man is weak to the Time Stopper, Flash Man's weapon. "My circuits slow" might be a line referring to this. Makes sense, since Quick Man is the only robot master that takes damage from Time Stopper. This ALSO raises the question; why didn't Wily keep working on the thing that could STOP TIME?

THEYRE BACK

Death DOES wear blue : O

Man, I'd kill for a remaster of Message from Dr. Light like this.

I love this. Such a great addition to the franchise, without the music it wouldn't be the same.

Why am I only just finding out 'enhanced editions' were a thing? This is kind of incredible, holy damn!

Love this version guys, almost as good as the acoustic.

You popped up in my recommended one day a few years back and I haven't been the same since, you all are just so amazing and talented.

this is my favorite Megas song, and this re-recorded version is amazing!

Love this version! It cleans up a lot of weird dissonant bits I always thought I heard in the original version. I'd love to see a full enhanced version of Get Equipped, but I realize that would be a lot of work, and I'm sure you have plans for other projects already going (maybe that MMX album you occasionally mention, maybe digging up more Belmonts tracks buried in graveyards, whatever)

Okay, I'm really loving this new version

This is the first Megas song I heard. It will forever be in my heart. 💙

What are the chances of us getting the rest of the album done like this? It's fucking epic and i want to hear metal dance in this style.

I love this version a lot. It's intense and thrilling and, well, quick!

Much better Version that the one on Spotify

Q_Q *prays the rest of Get Equipped gets this treatment at some point*

The opening is so goddamn beautiful..

"Death does wear Blue. He can't fall." Zero has entered the chat.

This was always my favorite song they made

This is amazing

A little too quick for my tastes. But seriously, this is the swaggiest remix for Quick Man I've seen in my life.

I Love this new version. Its Awesome, and fast paced like it should be. :D

If a new Megaman movie is ever made, this is how the Quick Man fight should go down.

This song will be a year old Tomorrow

THE TWO DISLIKES WERE MY FRIENDS AFTER I BRAGGED ABOUT IT BEING TOO GOOD TO BE DISLIKED (THEY LIKE YOUR MUSIC)

5 years later and it still ain't on Spotify tho ; ;

It's Texas Blue! All the robots knew, this handsome r(anger)obot was about to meet his death...

Ahh this is great!

Wasn't this on the MM25 Megaman Rocks Anniversary album? The Album sorta disappeared from Spotify, is this why?

Guys when are y'all uploading Man on Fire and this to Spotify? I NEED it!!!

CIRCUITS SLOOOOOW

Eh, I prefer the original vocals. This insturmentation is great though

AAAAAAAAAH I love it its amazing

song-revisit that needs a hardcopy single release. I'd buy it...

Hey I gotta say, I love the music on all you folks have done. I gotta ask, this song has some *MAJOR* System of a Down vibes, was that intentional?

YES! This sounds amazing! That weird stutter in the original version always bothered me.

Me: . . . . . . . YES! :D

wOAH IM LATE. This sounds amazing~!

FUCKING YES

really great honestly! the only sucky thing is that the enhanced editions of the song's aren't available on spotify, only the regular ones.

Nice!~

the virgin *Big Iron* vs. the chad *The Quick and the Blue*

The V A P E that he would defy

I would love to hear, aqua man and grande man from megaman 8, because I would love to hear how you guys handle some rock mixed with techno Tho I know both those songs don't have really much any techo, more like Denny's for Aquaman. Lol

Que sad pobre Quick man :c

Gotta say, the instrumental work is awesome, tho I find the vocals somewhat lacking. As if they would fit better with another type of song... But well, if there was a instrumental version of this song (I mean with this particular arrangement), I’d def hear it all day long.

That Kirby-like startup... Love it!

Quick man

Play at 1.25 speed. Thank me later.

Brought boomerangs to a gun fight…..

i actually prefer the first version, if only because the delivery was way better on the ending lines.

As a headphones user, please don't put the audio of one singer in one ear and the other in the other, with no fade. It feels weird.

My name is Hol Ho... oh wait, wrong video... *cough* Quickman: My name is Quickman... and I'm here to... Megaman: Hi, Mr. Quickman. Quickman: and I'm here to... Megaman: I know why you're here for... You're a *Wily's robot, here to kill me and my friends* Quickman: How did you knew that?. Megaman: Why, you have a lifting door, of course, *only villains get lifting doors*. How much Wily pays you for having lifting doors?Huh. Quickman: Hey, Wily doesn't work that much!. Megaman: Also, how are you going to kill me? Quickman: With, this cannon?... probably? Megaman: What does it shoots?... *Wily's Money?* Quickman: Bumerangs more likely... *Shoots boomerang and goes off-hand* Quickman: Whoops *Flying boomerang hits plane and plane crashes in Light's lab* ... Light: No plane crash can kill Thomas Light...

Personally, I kind of hate these enhanced versions. They just seem like a bunch of tech effects were applied, and they don't sound all that good compared to the originals.

NesQuickMan

Vocals seem muddy. I don't like it as much as the original.
