    The Ryan Davis "Power" Video was removed - any mirrors?

    It looks like the Ryan Davis "Power" video was hit by a DMC takedown notice over on YouTube. Does anyone happen to have a mirror or local copy of this? It is such a fitting post-mortem tribute to Ryan. It's really a shame if it is gone for good.

    Sorry I don't but I second the call to put it back up because it's a fitting tribute to him.

    I managed to find a muted version. Not the best video quality, but it shouldn't be too hard to rip it, add the audio back in and upload it to DailyMotion or something. Or we can give @jonc151 a call for the original. It's been a while since he's been around, though.

    Sucks to hear. Every tribute to Ryan should be exempt from that stuff in my opinion

    Kanye's people have been pretty aggressive about his shit being used on YouTube ever since his whole Tidal thing happened. But taking down Ryan's Power video? Absolute sadness.

    Someone please restore it to its former glory!

    Noticed this a while ago, pretty upsetting. Resisting the urge to sticky this thread...

    Oh that's a bummer. One of my favourite Giant Bomb fan creations and one I would return to every now and then. :(

    I haven't seen that video before, and looking at the low res, muted version that's still on YouTube...that makes me mad. That looks pretty great.

    This makes me pretty sad. I'm glad I got to see it before it was taken down. I hope a copy exists out there somewhere still.

    That's fucking gross. Even if it comes down to us circulating this on our hard drives, we need to keep this video alive.

    Get it while it's hot! One should be able to download the original video if you click through vimeo. I grabbed the 1080p copy from youtube a few years ago, because this video is awesome and those whiskey days were so golden.

    Nice!

    While we're on the topic of videos that have disappeared from the internet, does anyone know what happened to the Matt Kessler Soup Wallet videos? They are gone from Giant Bomb. Anyone have a copy?

    This is my first post on the site, been a long time fan, but not one for forums. However, I have to thank the person who found this... I had never seen this video before and it is fantastic! If only it wasn't the censored song otherwise its still an awesome video!
