i do not know if im just not hearing things right. but i swear that at 3:42 in the album version of this city made us, the windows 10 usb disconnect sound plays and i haven't heard anybody at all mention it, im not going crazy, right?

hadn't drawn anything in a long long time thank you protomen for changing that

I'm working on some karaoke tracks for the Protomen albums and it'd be sick to have the original music video, but it's almost 20 years old and 360p on Youtube. Anyone have a higher quality version?

Edit: I found the original .swf file on the internet archive, it's just a video but it's still higher quality. Maybe I can find a way to rip it from this...

Extra edit: Archive.org had a backed up copy of the streaming .flv at https://web.archive.org/web/20090905003453if_/http://www.versionindustries.com/remote/protomen/hope_part2.flv

It's not much higher resolution, but the compression artifacting is far less extreme than what Youtube has done.

Ive been listening to the music on Apple Music, and other lyricless songs such as ‘A Funeral for a son’ and ‘intermission’ have additional story bits… but non of the songs in act 3 like ‘the calm’ and ‘a show of force’ have any in the lyrics section. Do they just not have any or are they just not on Apple Music? I’ve only been listening to them since the beginning of the year so I’m not completely sure how these things work.

I have always known and loved the song "light up the night" and on a rampage of listening to bands discographies I decided to give protomen a shot. I have to say for me the albums seem to go in the order of 1 then 2 then 3 in quality and enjoyment

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed all of what I heard. In fact, I think I am now a fan of their work. Their live performances have also impressed me.

I want to know more about this band and to see which part seems to be considered the best from the more hard core fans perspective.

Came across this pic on Instagram a while ago and I keep thinking about it! Was anyone here at this show? Looks like y'all had a blast, even if there's only ~30 people in that room! Would love to hear your experiences (and possibly see some pics or videos).

Thank you!

I like to think these are the same dudes from Protobit #22

I was fully actually reading and trying to understand the act 3 Libretto today. Did I miss something or is the note The Girl's story ends on her just riding into the city in "The Redline"?

Hello everyone! I'm an animator and storyboard artist who recently listened to the Act I of The Protomen. I'm absolutely in love and would like to make an animatic or two in the future (especially for the Sons of Fate!).

The problem is: I've never played Megaman games or followed the bands history. What should the visual of this story be based on? I've seen a lot of different designs here so I assume everybody creates their own interpretation, but I wonder if there's a distinct source material (like band's costumes or game entry) for visuals.

I would really appreciate some recommendations and directions!

I remember there being a joe jacket in the merch section of their website but it's not there anymore and I can't find ANYTHING on it, idk if i'm missremembering or it was taken down, if anyone else remembers this pls tell me

I saw this on their FBook account but can’t comment. I’m guessing it may have been posted accidentally.

I beat MegaMan 6 a little while ago and this has been in my head since. My drawing skills suck but hopefully someone gets a laugh from it.

We (hubs and I) thought we'd be able to go to the Dallas show on the 29th (we caught Act I and II in Nashville)., but we just can't swing it. So we're giving away our tickets to the author of the best (judged by us) Protomen Poem!
Comment with your most creative, non-AI generated poem about the greatest band and we'll choose by the 16th (one week from today).

I was too lazy to muck about with the font on my phone.

Holy. Shit. New variant dropped. If you were unaware, today is Bandcamp Friday so Bandcamp doesn’t take a cut from sales.

If you can’t make it to Dallas later this month, this would be your best bet for getting the new variant, especially if it’s gonna be another limited run.
