Remember it as a minor hit. Interesting, concept, though, coming full circle at the end. That is scares this folks to death interests me. Never saw the video. Lots of scenes from Metropolis. I like the reaction videos, mostly because of the complete ignorance of the music we grew up listening to. Shows how far current music has fallen. Cheers –

I’ll bet that more of it is CGI than you think it is, up to and including all of it. Cheers –

As I recall, the robots really were playing the instruments, but the laser bit at the end was CGI.
