We're big fans of 9 Crimes by Damien Rice; the music is beautiful and the lyrics are striking and haunting. We're also fans of Brunhila, who brings strong vocal talent to the world of WoW filk. Her remake of Mad World is one of my favorite parodies in the last year.
Obviously, I was excited to see Brunhila tackle Rice's song with 9 Times. It's a familiar raiding story; a guild's raid has too many melee, and someone has to sit out. Make sure you watch the video all the way through, though. Something about the little girl shouting "Let's gank some noobs!" made me giggle like a madman.
I really love Brunhila's stuff. Her voice is amazing, and she brings some serious vocal talent to her parodies. We could always use more of that, and I'm grateful she's doing so.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
Brunhila is in my guild,and it sucks how melee is setup for raiding now. It doesn't help that some fights hurt you if you have too many melee. I'm looking at you majordomo! Anyway we all love her vids and being "Actors" in them.
That intro voice is really our raid leader giving one of his speeches when we have to shuffle the roster for the night. Also love the ending with her daughters lol. We
When I heard raid leader's speach I could swear it was my raid leader. Not only the words are the same, the voice is very similar too :). I'm playing a rogue so I'm frequent guest in group 6 too.
As for majordomo - it's the fight for rogues (combat) this tier, let the poor girl cleave her way to top of the meters there!
The last time I went combat was for dual wielding axes in Icecrown. I am 100% Mut assassin now, so the combat rogue in our guild totally creams me on Domo. The good news... is that this song and video is a work of - mostly - fiction. I do have to sit out on occasion, but not really all that often. I love the Firelands and really enjoyed our 25 Rag kill last week :)

Passes the "can I still sit and listen to the song while looking at other stuff?" test? Yup. With big boots on. Cute kids as well.
Doesn't detract any from that song that I have never heard of "9 Crimes" either.

She's got a solid voice and it was a decent vid, but I gotta say it: her kids stole the show. Good job youngsters!!!

I totally relate, i've yet to enter a raid in cata. I hope to be able to go next expansion.

Rogue daughters "let's gank some noobs!" totally made me laugh btw :)

First thing that came to mind was "Oh my god, they're starting early!!"
Then it was... "Oh yeah, I'm totally there with you!!" heh

That was fantastic, and I definitely can't wait until my own daughter can play so I can share all of Azeroth with her.
