Original Post — Direct link

Last year, I went to Reddit and asked you guys to sing to the instrumental of the song Bash the Dragon. A few weeks and 20 singers later, it was finished:

Shortly after that was posted, ArenaNet contacted me to talk about the possibility of having it added in-game... and now it is! If you go to the Great Lodge in Hoelbrak and hang around, you'll hear two different versions of Bash the Dragon playing - the official ArenaNet version and the version sung by us, the playerbase. The songs play alternated every 5 minutes.

I think this is really cool - hope you all do too. Enjoy the festivities!

Thanks a million for dropping by!!

Yes indeed! Former game designer Matthew Moore wrote the original music and lyrics, and then I played mandolin, guitar, tambourine, and sang on it with the help of a bunch of folks around the studio. I love that it still has a life of its own all these years later, so thank you for putting this together!
