The Protomen - "The Will Of One" Live In Nashville 

WE. ARE. YOUR. HOPE. WE. KEEP. YOU. SAFE. WE. ARE. IN. CONTROL.

I love the first lyric so much, "I've seen your city... *A THOUSAND TIMES!"* Like he's finally exploded into clear determination. I wish the original album had that same quiet start and then explosive voice raise.

This man can put more passion into the story of a fictional robot every time I hear him be it in official videos or recorded off 10 year cell phones than most other artists can do belting out stories from their actual lives. But also wehn Act III?

Man, seen them live 4 times and I still get chills at that high note.

that high note on "HOPE RIDES ALOOOOOOONE" is insane

Somehow I'd lived my life until now not having heard these guys. A fan within the first minute. 2:24 my jaw was on the floor. Then 2:43 came and I found a new religion.

"There are -no- still heroes left in man."

I was at a Between the Buried and Me show just shooting the shit with a dude. We got into covers and i told him The Protomen did the best Queen covers. He thanked me. Turns out he was the Protomen's drummer

If only Megaman knew his brother was right there, in the front row of his concert.

Love Panther's voice so much. Hope one day I can see the Protomen live

I've seen many bands, still The Protomen are one of the best live performances of all time.

Do yourself a favor before watching this. Turn your volume to 100%. You're welcome.

It’s amazing how far they’ve come since Act 1. You can tell they’ve improved just by listening to this.

I am so thankful that their cover of "In the Air Tonight" was in Cobra Kai... it makes it so much easier to talk about this band with people... because that is all I want to do for the rest of the week whenever I listen to the Protomen.

Well, great. Now I have to go back and listen to This City Made Us for another week straight.

The Pillows and The Protomen are the only modern bands that can make me feel nostalgia.

Protomen and GUNSHIP would ROCKKKK a collaborator together

OH ACT III WHERE ART THOU?

Hearing this version makes me desperately want a rerecorded version of Act 1 as unlikely as that is

Nothing gives me second wind quite like this song.

"Hope rides alone" gets me every time

Can not wait to see these guys in London in a couple weeks. I will be losing my shit and my other half will never look at me the same again.

Mega Man fans are so fucking lucky that a truly great rock band were also fans.

Amazing voice

We Are your Hope We Keep you Safe We Are In Control

Dude this may be one of the best life performances I’ve seen

I WANT MORE!

I am so glad the sound in this video is really well done, too many times in their live performances it sounds like the audio levels are not properly setup, its so nice to see them preform as they actually sound.

Even now, there is hope for man.

.... Just discovered these guys... All I can say is, "HELL YES!"

I still come back to this video because Panther's voice just completely kills it. What a legend.

Listening this awesome band for more than 10 yeas, always chilling me out! Greetings from Maranhão, Brazil!

I'm coming to see you guys in Amsterdam. Venezuela to Spain to UK to the Netherlands. I've been a fan forever, and I never thought I'd get the chance. but its a dream come true. Can't wait!

I think I've finally realized what his voice reminds me of. His voice is what happens when you take Freddie Mercury (apt, given how much they cover Queen and how he nails it every time) mix his voice with Alan Vega. You get Vega's croon with Freddie's power and high notes!

The one time I wake up early, at around 6:30 in the morning in my time zone, I'm GRACIOUSLY rewarded with this and the amazing news via email (I honestly check specifically Protomen-marked emails, everything else is a lower priority for me) and after reading the amazing European Tour news I wish I could join to witness, I rushed straight here at nearly light speed. This is proof that there ARE heroes left in man. Thank you yet again, and I wish you well on the tour, albums, and documentary!! Please keep kicking ass!

Feeling the city burn from Bogota, Colombia. Amazing work guys!

that guitar solo at 3:00 made the hair on my arms stand up

The feeling when the live version has better production than the studio recorded version

Spotify suggested them for me and boy am I glad. Totally hooked now❤

I’ve never wanted to play a Keytar more than I do while watching this video.

I am waiting for Act III and waiting for The Protomen and TWRP to tour the west coast...

So so so so hyped to finally see them in London. Been a long time coming boys!

The roll off growl after the high note.... My god... Bliss.

man the solo is GREAT is this performance.

Always, absolutely amazing! Greetings from Maranhão, Brazil!

The G5 is nuts

watched you guys live at warped tour. you were the band I went there for and I was sad at how small the crowd was, but you performed as if it was a stadium of 50k, and I loved every second. you guys are my favorite band and have been since 2006 or so when I first heard your song the stand, man or machine on an anime AMV and I couldn't help but stand still and find more of you. I hope to see you in concert again soon. I still have my poster with all of your signatures as well as the patches and lighters I bought. Light up the Night.

I'm so glad my friend introduced me to the Protomen back in Navy A School. That left an imprint on my mind five years ago, and that imprint will stick around for a lifetime. I get chills listening to these two albums, and I don't know if my heart can take a third oof.

Im traveling to Nashville for New Years just to watch them live and I don't think that I've ever been more excited for a concert in my whole life. I've been blasting Live in Nashville non stop to get me hyped and I still get chills every time. The only other band that I've liked so much that I don't get sick at all of listening to them over and over again is Pink Floyd. Counting down the days!

I guess this is why my dog woke me up at 4 AM? Worth it

I love you guys! Cheers from Argentina!

Always a fantastic live show! I hope the human choir behaved accordingly during the recording of the live album. Can't wait to throw you guys more money to buy it!

You guy need to a show in the Garden. Madison Square Garden needs you guys

What a great concert! You guys have fans in Brazil

I would give my TechCore just to see'em once

I had never heard of them till recently but I liked everything about this, shared and subbed.

YES!!

The greatest live show around, bar none!

Omg it finally came out!!!!! I drove 6 hours to Nashville from Ohio that day to be at this show, and we bought three copies of the Pokemon Act 1 vinyl, one I still have sealed on my desk in front of me right now, I have waited so long for this to come out, this is amazing!!!

I originally came across a fan edited music video on RU-vid back when you guys were newish, back before I knew you guys did music about megaman, but this was the song and I was an instant fan.

I miss this so much

This song...the passion..thank you Protomen!!

Simply...Awesome!!!

Best voice in rock & rollll

4:09 maybe its just me, but I always hear a callback to Kick Axe "Nothing's Gonna Stand in our Way" in the synth in the background, and as an anthem of my childhood that's awesome.

So glad to finally see you on Sep. 10!

What an awesome band.

Saw them live twice in Boston, the live show is something to experience!

Fucking awesome! Love you guys

This band's so freaking great.

Man, this is awesome, i just stumbled upon these guys... they rock so hard!

Brings back memories. Miss seeing you guys in Richmond all the time way back. That show at Empire in 2006 was something special.

holy shit, much love from Uruguay

Y'all are gonna blow up, I'm sure. Didn't know I needed this in my life before right now. Thank you, and keep it up!

Holy shit! I never thought they'd still be so good! Amazing show guys!

Come to Cincinnati!!!

I saw these guys in baltimore for the first time and ill admit they put pn one hell of a show

This hit me with that sort of feeling like a religious fervor, all praise the Protomen, may their reign last for eternity!

Come to Dallas again!!!

Oh GOD can you please come to Toronto. I missed out a few years back and I've never forgiven myself.

Honestly almost as hyped for that quality live album as I am for Act III

Love the vocoder effect

hope rides aloooooooooooooone

Holy crap are you guys still a thing where is part III O.O I love you guys

Live alblum hell yeah!!

Damn dude! I just discovered this band and saw you guys were in Nashville in April! Can't wait to see you guys next time! Keep it up!

HOPE rides...aaaalooooneeeee!!!!!!

I've never been able to see them live, but this video looks amazing! They've not come around here, its like, a $170 flight east if I wanted to see them in Vancouver, I don't have anywhere near that kind of money for a flight to a concert xP

HOPE RIDES

Just saw y'all in Richmond a little ways back, and let me tell ya, y'all fucking rock live!!!

So fucking good

I'm surprised that you haven't done a cover up of the touch by Stan Bush

Awesome camera work, wish it was done for most songs..

gimmie that live video :)

Act III when?

Is this that footage from way back during the 12th and porter show?

I know What I’m watching tonight.

How does 2:20 sound better live then on the studio one jesus o.o

"B R O T H E R!! IT'S NOT OVER, NOT YET!!!"

Ohh the animation potential
