Shirt.Woot

I could see this being added into Rockband. Flawless victory!@

Oh, hey, by the way... if music battles are your thing, you might want to look into the game Symphony. It is reasonably awesome and what I thought about as soon as I saw this shirt.

A different kind of button mashing.

Mozart! Mozart, forgive your assassin! I confess, I killed you...

I remember that game, got it on Steam during one of their sales. Sounded great in theory, but in reality... not so much. Got boring fast.

I've yet to find any relation between the actual music and anything in the game itself, seems like a randomizer that spins the wheel once for each mp3 you let it "scan."

Big letdown.

Oh, for the record... my favorite "classical" composer:

Of Johann Sebastian's 20-odd children, he was certainly the oddest.

Heh, Oedipus' nemesisdom moment was a bit more than embarrassing...

I saw this title on facebook and had the brilliant idea that if this was Zombie Mozart vs Zombie Salieri then it could be called "DE-COMPOSE". One of you t-shirt artists should get on something like that, a "decomposer" zombie Mozart just sounds cool. And you know, give me credit for the idea. ;P

Very clever, and all elements necessary for the sake of popular culture. However, historically speaking, Mozart's adversary might better be Clementi. Here is a little program someone put together about it:

So sad that this passed up the opportunity to look more like StreetFighter II, or maybe Mortal Kombat. (There's some kind of joke in there involving "decapitation" and "recapitulation.") Or to choose Brahms vs. Wagner.

Since we're so close to March Madness- this is definitely a first round 1 vs. 16 seed.

Ha ha- PDQ FTW!

My least favorite thing about that game is how Beethoven is just a palette swapped version of Mozart.
IT'S JUST LAZY!
Love the loose style! Gratz Yeti!

I'll be Bach.

Shocker another boring grey shirt.

I wonder who the final boss would be?

Plus, Mozart is just way too good. He really needs to be nerfed.

Charles Mingus...

FINALE HIM!

For those missing the reference, the feud between Mozart and Salieri comes from the historical fiction "Amadeus," a play adapted to a Best Picture-winning film in the 80s. It really is a great flick, even if classical isn't your thing.

Is the T-shirt a reference to a particular video game, or is just the general concept of how a video game with Salieri vs. Mozart might look?

This isn't quite the same kind of dueling pianos as you might see at your local Howl at the Moon, or similar piano bar.

Indeed! Thanks for posting that

And @Lbug - we'll call it "inspired by" Street Fighter.

so many young kids around here... get off my lawn, and watch amadeus. preferably the theatrical cut, but directors cut will do in a pinch.

amazed at how many posts i had to go to find someone actually getting the reference.

Frankly I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it yet, but...

From the looks of it Mozart can win this with one hand behind his back! Must not be much of a challenge.

While this isn't the worst design, I don't understand what happened to shirt.woot. Why is every shirt a stupid joke or meme now? Bring back the days when the best artists get their design made. I want a shirt with a cool design and no words. I'm not in middle school anymore!

It's honestly about as historical as "The Patriot."

An improvisation scene from Amadeus:

Not sure; I'm still stuck on Beethoven. He uses this irritating blocking move where he can't hear your attack. That and his Ode-tooou-joy! projectile.

See, your true nemesis can always be identified by a fedora. No fedora, not a real nemesis.

a game like this might actually be a fun way to get somewhere with musical theory comprehension. Like the energy of the style and the Saleri grumpiness.

Salieri was just one of the first for the Seven Evil Exes that Mozart would have to face before winning the hand of his true love...
