OMG you guys are going to LOVE this... Can't Post

While perusing the Internet yesterday I stumbled across a site with an AMAZING Frodo and Sam themed music video. It's completely mind-blowing! Here's a link to the site: http://www.theargonath.cc/videos/mv/mv.html

It's the first video on the list. There are tons of other music videos there as well, all LOTR themed except for one on Jack Sparrow.

Enjoy! As you can probably tell, I thought the video was completely astounding. Just FYI for all of you: I did not make the videos, I just found them, so that is why this isn't in Fanart.

Looking around Elrond's library...chucking stones in the waterfalls...singing tra-la-la with the elves....yup, life's good in Rivendell.

WOW! [In reply to] Can't Post

Some of these videos are amazing! Iron Man is an automatic favorite. The editing is brilliant; I never even realized how many lines from that song are applicable to scenes from the movie pertaining to Sauron. "Nobody wants him/ He just stares at the world," "Heavy boots of lead/Fill his victims full of dread." Again, awesome editing on that one.

Ramble On by Zeppelin is absolutely great. That's another one with superb editing, and that song has built-in Mordor and Gollum references! Call me dense, but I never connected "a girl so fair" and "the queen of all my dreams" with the Ring. It really puts a great spin on that whole song. I love it!.

Seven Nation Army by White Stripes is definitely another great one with terrific Eomer scenes. I also thought Metallica's Unforgiven was very cool, with Aragorn as the song's narrator who seeks "the unforgiven," or the Army of the Dead. Whoever did these is amazing.

Here are some suggestions for The Hobbit videos:

Led Zeppelin-- Misty Mountain Hop (duh!)
Ozzy Osbourne-- Spiders in the Night (Bark at the Moon CD bonus track)
Metallica-- Seek and Destroy (could work for any battle scene in Hobbit or LOTR)

And for me, the ultimate: Pantera-- Walk
I can just see Bilbo looking down at Smaug while hearing Phil in the background bellowing, "Are you talkin' to me? No way, punk!" Then he scurries through the tunnel just before getting singed!

OMG you are soooo right [In reply to] Can't Post

    "Eomer" was rocking awesome!
Have only downloaded 3 others-unforgiven, the boys are back in town, and broken. More another time. This could be non-conducive to my work week!

Wow, Fan Vids instead of Fan Fiction [In reply to] Can't Post

Man, my younger sister got into writing fan fiction about Potter....
This is amazing....fans creating new movies to go with songs....of course Zeppelin is well represented...loved the Thin Lizzy one....
This could become something big....can people do this legally?? Does it happen with other movies or is LOTR the first????

I've seen this website before! Isn't it great?? I love the Move Along video. Amazing editing to fit the words! I totally copied that video to my computer and added it to my iPhone

Theres some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and its worth fighting for.
