Despite the usual time after that and being completely virtual for the first time, the main detail of Blizzon yesterday brought with it some big news and exciting trailers. It also features a performance of Metallica music. After appearing at the conference for the first time in 2014, the band is not new to Blizzon.
Viewers on many platforms (including Blizzard’s own Twitch and YouTube channels) listened to Metallica’s 1984 tune “Bell Tolls”. The feed was muted by some Twitch Streamers who broadcast Blizzone during Metallica’s appearance to avoid any potential DMC troubles.
But it was on the Twitch gaming feed Also Carrying the flow, well, things took a beautiful turn. Within seconds of the song starting, the audio dio was replaced by what A.V. Club Absolutely “the most terrible, the most Zelda Forest-ass music imaginative. ”
The transition really makes the whole story here, so please see this:
It seems that the music performance rights acquired by Blizzard for its own channels do not extend to Twitch’s in-house gaming channel, so we were given this glorious moment instead. Could they just cut the audio dio completely? Sure, but it wouldn’t be fun. This early mainstream version currently has over 1.2 million views.
If you want to see the actual performance of Metallica, it is at the 1:24:50 mark on YouTube or Twitch. But me? I always remember it in a twitch gaming way. The right way.
And no, it’s not lost on anyone that this has happened with the influence of metal. Napster and the controversial DMCA have a lot to do with the extremes regularly pp up today. But let’s leave it for another day. For now, imagine Lars Ulrich and company really jamming this RPG adventure music. They all come together nicely all the time.
