When I hear that song, I used to think of the Paramount sizzle reel that they had on VHS prior to their movies starting. Nowadays I think of Saints Row IV.

You mean Saints Row the Third, right?

Spoiler

Wasn't that the Save Shaundi and Viola ending?

 

[BigAT]

red snare
yellow hi hat
blue tom
green cymbal
orange bass drum

?

Still thats insane, gratz Alex.

Yellow, blue and occasionally green also double as toms sometimes when necessary. I think blue is also kind of ride cymbal/open hi hat.

 

[StoveOven]

This has been the best thing to have on while I get some work done. Props to Alex for really delivering with his stream.

 

[shiftplusone]

Yeah, I may have just learned bad habits from playing on the Rock Band kit, you don't really have to worry about stick control because you can play open instead of cross-armed and even the cymbals don't really get in the way much.

This is a real cool segment. I'm glad Alex chose this, it's different from the usual Extra Life marathon.

I play open on my actual drums but I blame it on being left handed and everything I do is wrong anyway

Yea, you're right. I got them mixed up

For real. This is legendary.

The Boys Are Back in Town always reminds me of the Toy Story commercial of the Army Men riding down the rope with that song playing. I think it was for a theatrical re-release or something.

It's my favourite song by Toy Story!

Mostly right, except blue and green pull double duty. They're used for Hi-Low Toms sometimes, and also for Ride and Crash cymbals.

 

[JamboGT]

Alex is insane, home for work and got to donate

 

[MrCunningham]

Oh shit, Kenny Loggins.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

How are you still drumming Alex?! I just got back from a meeting and lunch and he is still going.

 

[Backfoggen]

Jesus fucking Christ doing that Cannibal Holocaust song after almost 7 hours of drumming :lol

Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack would be some smooth drumming for him

 

[Intheflorsh]

When Alex is in the zone he is pretty much 1 : 1 with the track.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

How are you still drumming Alex?! I just got back from a meeting and lunch and he is still going.

I'm sure he's been through similar marathon session when practising in his band days.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I'm kind of happily stunned at how Alex can keep going.
My eyes just can't do it for anywhere near that length, whatever about my arms and legs!

 

[close to the edge]

I'm sure he's been through similar marathon session when practising in his band days.

Yeah, it's not unheard of for musicians to practice for hours and hours at a time. 12 hours is still a lot, though.

 

[kvothe]

Wait, this has been Alex playing this same game this whole time?

 

[TheChits]

Alex has raised a ton of money already. Wow

 

[chogidogs]

Alex has raised a ton of money already. Wow

Seriously impressive. He has raised more money now than Gamespot did in 3 days last year.

 

[Hasney]

Wait, this has been Alex playing this same game this whole time?

Drumming 8 hours with only 1 or 2 breaks so far.

 

[Sakwoff]

I'm kind of happily stunned at how Alex can keep going.
My eyes just can't do it for anywhere near that length, whatever about my arms and legs!

Yeah. I don't even wanna know what staring at that note bar for 12 hours does to you. My eyes get weird and everything starts distorting after like an hour of playing one of these games.

 

[Hasney]

lmao at James Elsworth donating.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah. I don't even wanna know what staring at that note bar for 12 hours does to you. My eyes get weird and everything starts distorting after like an hour of playing one of these games.

I wouldn't put it past Alex to just know the full chart for some of these songs!

 

[Dizzy-4U]

This has to be one my favorite GB streams in years. So relaxing and good fun all around.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

That break image is pretty darn great.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

 

[- J - D -]

I donated to prevent Alex from dying from exhaustion.

 

[Zocano]

WHAT THE FUCK.

I come back nearly 4 hours later and I just see him still drumming.

 

[DrFunk]

DU HAST

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Drumming is hard.

Huh. Using Engel in an Asuka focused AMV. Of course. Of course!

 

[Death Metalist]

Finally, I'm back. Got done with stuff and now I'm free for the rest of Alex's stream and hopefully I'll catch a few hours of Vinny before having to do more stuff and then come back again.

Alex is a fucking beast. Fantastic stuff.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Need a 120 144 1000 fps stream.

 

[Catman]

Welp, I knew it was gonna happen. Watching Alex play so much of this today, I just had to go to gamestop down the street, and buy the Rock Band 4/guitar bundle for $40.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Huh. Using Engel in an Asuka focused AMV. Of course. Of course!

I think that was the first amv I ever watched. The resolution was so tiny.

 

[SmiteOfHand]

Alex single handedly will save RB.

 

[theRizzle]

any monking happen yet

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Welp, I knew it was gonna happen. Watching Alex play so much of this today, I just had to go to gamestop down the street, and buy the Rock Band 4/guitar bundle for $40.

That bundle is like €100 here :-/

I think that was the first amv I ever watched. The resolution was so tiny.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if I haven't seen it many years ago, but who knows.

 

[Giever]

Now I know why they call it the beastcast. Damn, Alex.

 

[petethepanda]

Jesus, he's still going. Arms of steel.

I've been on the verge of picking up RB4 for the past few months, this might finally push me over the edge.

 

[kingocfs]

This is great.

 

[DrFunk]

so how many drum hits has he probably totaled up?

 

[OdysseusVA]

Alex the beast

Hopefully Papa Vinny busts out the guitar during his stream

 

[Keyser Soze]

Random aside... Alex had got Giant Bomb 150 more Youtube subscribers today!

Stephanie McMahon would be happy! Philanthropy is the future of marketing!!

 

[Catman]

Yeah, I looked it up online and saw that's what it was...clearance pricing I imagine because best buy didn't have it at that price.

Alex single handedly will save RB.

I can totally see why he used to work in RB PR, he has the skills to make it look awesome.

Paw Patrol acoustic rendition, bank on it!
