Some brony musicians blaze only briefly across the sky, leaving us with mere hints of their abilities. A good example is Phileo, whose one and only contribution to the MLP fandom was "The Way She Flies". However, others are far more enduring, and British rock'n'metal guitar specialist PrinceWhateverer is most definitely one of those. After all, just a few weeks ago he released "Solidarity", a well-received tribute to the continuing strength of the Pony fandom. If we take him at his word, he won't be leaving soon, either.
Back when "Rainbow Thrash" was released in December 2011, PrinceWhateverer had only around 200 YouTube subscribers and was relatively little known. That he now has well over 50,000 is partly due to this song, a loud, brash track about a loud, brash pony by the name of Rainbow Dash. It does betray its age in some ways, such as the slightly awkward lyrics, but the beat is insistent enough to have kept it as a fandom favourite all these years. Want it in HQ? Pay £1 on PrinceWhateverer's Bandcamp.
The video I've linked to above is actually a slightly revised version of the song, released by the artist just a couple of days after the original. The changes aren't dramatic, but I do think they improve the track. Should you wish to hear it as it first came out, that version is still around.
Next time, I'll have a double bill of music for you. One of the tracks you may well be at least reasonably familiar with. The other is a lot more obscure nowadays, though it is by a name you'll know. What are these songs? Well, that would be telling! Wait and see...
