A classical approach to Blizzard with Video Games Live

Just because it's played with an orchestra does not make it Classical muaic.

Too bad most of Blizzard's music sucks. Sure there were some great tracks in Starcraft and WoW, but Warcraft's music is very non-descript and devoid of passion.

Whoops, make that "music". Stupid keyboard.

Did they do a concert like this for beyond good and evil??

Hay it's Jade up there everyone.. Hola Yade!

Will Tommy Tallarico continue to stroke his own ego by slipping some of his own forgettable soundtrack work into the program? Perhaps something from "Cool Spot"?

Beyond Good & Evil! If any game needed a sequel it was that one...

To Thundernad: We never did an entire Beyond Good & Evil show (although that would be awesome!). That pic is from our normal Video Games Live show in which we sometimes play a BG&E medley consisting of 4 songs in one. The segment lasts about 4 minutes. BG&E was one of my favorite games. When we did our show in London last year I had Michel Ansel fly in from France and present the segment on stage with the composer Christoph Heral. Great guys!

To Rootbeer: Sorry that you feel that way in general. I think you watch too much G4 and don't realize that the "bad cop" personoa that someone plays on t.v. doesn't necessarily mean that is what the person is in real life. It's entertainment my friend. Rumor has it that Darth Vader isn't that bad a guy either. For our special Blizzard shows of course I won't put any of my music in there because I haven't done any music for any Blizzard games. In terms of our normal show... Considering I created, produce and host the concert doesn't seem like a big stretch to include one of my own pieces into the show. Keep in mind that I've been a video game composer for over 17 years and this is a video game concert.
