Alright, G.I.Joe Soundtrack!

[tkprime]

Here's my Addition to the Rock Soundtrack for the Live Action Joe Film.

Rick Derringer- A Real American.

[swafus]

Everytime I hear the song "Liberate" by Disturbed it makes me think of a Cobra fight song?!

[firefly6462]

Drowning Pool - Soldiers

[paulpratt]

For some reason when the movie opens I want a classic 80s scene. I want to see a few characters driving around on a couple of AWE strikes listening to Guns 'N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle". They can be raiding some small Cobra place to get something that sets up the plot for the rest of the film.
Then the movie can be whatever it wants, but that would be a great opening scene. That would totally jive with the 80s US badass vibe.

[Irid70]

I doubt Alan Silvestri is going to incorporate a whole lot of 80s rock into his score. Just sayin'.

[tkprime]

this would be a seperate soundtrack (we all know there is a score soundtrack) Lots of movies have 2 soundtracks, Transformers did.

[Shin-Gouki]

Alice in Chains: Rooster

[G.I.Eddie]

i've thought of doing a soundtrack post for a while...
you guys have already listed the others i have thought of except this one...

Five Finger Death Punch - Death Before Dishonor

[Nemesis*Prime]

Atreyu - Becoming The Bull
Ozzy Osbourne - I Don't Wanna Stop
Hurt - Ten Ton Brick
Breaking Point - One of a Kind
Megadeth - Die Dead Enough

[Compulsive Collector]

I doubt Alan Silvestri is going to incorporate a whole lot of 80s rock into his score. Just sayin'. Maybe not, but that song would be better than any of the other... stuff mentioned in this thread.

[Irid70]

Maybe not, but that song would be better than any of the other... stuff mentioned in this thread.

Agreed. Hey, I love me some G&R...some of my favorite workout music, actually. Most of the rest of the songs mentioned here are just a blur to me because I haven't the faintest idea who the artists are.

[Compulsive Collector]

Well, I know who Megadeth is, so that's enough for me to never want to hear any of the other bands mentioned in the same post. ;)

[G.I.Eddie]

you guys are missing out!...but seriously, a good mix of some old classics and some new rock/metal would be exactly what i want to hear...all rock though, of some form for me

[the_loud_master]

I don't want any of this rap crap that my firends listen to anywhere on this soundtrack.

[G.I.Eddie]

I don't want any of this rap crap that my firends listen to anywhere on this soundtrack.
786,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% wholeheartedly agreed!
i have never been more possitive about any statement made on the site than that one

[CobraCoffee]

Set up a meeting with Nine Inch Nails or M.Manson and have them record their version of David Bowies "Fame".

Then use it in a Montage of Cobra Commanders rise to power within the media.

=COBRACOFFEE

[tkprime]

Fatboy Slim's rendition of Kung-Fu fighting!

[G.I.Eddie]

Fatboy Slim's rendition of Kung-Fu fighting!
AWESOME!!!!.....corny, but awesome

[Compulsive Collector]

you guys are missing out!...but seriously, a good mix of some old classics and some new rock/metal would be exactly what i want to hear...all rock though, of some form for me Wait, you say we are missing out, but then you limit yourself to just one musical genre? I like plenty of rock, but it needs to be good rock. I'll take A Tribe Called Quest, MF DOOM, or Public Enemy over any of that new metal nonsense any day. That's not to say that there is any shortage of bad hip hop that isn't worth a second listen, because that would describe most of it, but to write off an entire style? Or give me Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, Elvis (Presley or Costello), or Frédéric Chopin before any of that lifeless fluff that makes its way to radio and "music" television these days.

[kilowatt]

Can't say I'm waiting for the G.I. Joe Soundtrack and I agree with everything Compulsive Collector said above.

[kilowatt]

On second thought, they should just go full on musical.

[Irid70]

On second thought, they should just go full on musical.


I'm going to assume you mean "full orchestral score as opposed to rock soundtrack" and not that, say, Baroness and Destro should do a show-stopping duet, or that Snake-Eyes should do an interpretive dance expressing his isolation.

[thunderdan19]

...Baroness and Destro should do a show-stopping duet, or that Snake-Eyes should do an interpretive dance expressing his isolation.

We'll save that for the sequel... ;)

[Compulsive Collector]

Baroness and Destro should do a show-stopping duet I now officially nominate Mandy Patinkin to play Destro. He does a terrific Scottish accent and he can sing. :p

[swafus]

Oh yeah, I think a movie about ass-kicking soldiers, a terrorist organization, and bikers should be chock full of Miles Davis, Elvis Costello and Chopin!!!
Great choices

[kilowatt]

I was kinda thinking along the lines of maybe rock opera, but I now I am really into this interpretive dance idea. And yeah Destro and Baroness should definitely have a show stopping duet. Can we cast Celine Dion as someone? Maybe she should play every roll and make it real interesting.

[kilowatt]

So out of context, those weren't meant as his choices for the movie. I should let him speak for himself though. At any rate no one should really be expecting too much out of this movie's sound track, this is after all GI Joe and I was never into because of their music choices.

[swafus]

Well, I know who Megadeth is, so that's enough for me to never want to hear any of the other bands mentioned in the same post. ;)

Isn't it better to actually listen to music before you condemn it? It's fine to not like "stuff" that you've heard.
I for one wouldn't wipe my butt with Elvis Costello, Miles Davis or Chopin. I can say this because I've heard their music and don't care for it.

If you're going to be a music snob at least do your homework.

[Compulsive Collector]

So out of context, those weren't meant as his choices for the movie. Of course not, but then again, I know better than to think it's possible to select music for a film that hasn't even been cast, let alone begun principal photography.

Isn't it better to actually listen to music before you condemn it? It's fine to not like "stuff" that you've heard. It's also "fine" to dismiss anything mentioned in the same breath as Megadeth, and I will continue to do so, with or without your permission, dad.

I for one wouldn't wipe my butt with Elvis Costello, Miles Davis or Chopin. I can say this because I've heard their music and don't care for it.

If you're going to be a music snob at least do your homework. Well, I might take that seriously if you hadn't just demonstrated how little I should value your opinion when it comes to music. Now run along and listen to Disturbed. :rolleyes:

[swafus]

Of course not, but then again, I know better than to think it's possible to select music for a film that hasn't even been cast, let alone begun principal photography.

Then why bother posting in this thread smarty pants? Oh I know why, because you "get off" on constantly disagreeing with others and pushing your joyless views on every member of this site! Chew on that for a few, Captain Buzzkill!

It's also "fine" to dismiss anything mentioned in the same breath as Megadeth, and I will continue to do so, with or without your permission, dad.

This is the most obtuse, closed-minded statement I've been privy to in a long time. Congratulations!

....."daddy".....I like the sound of that, you should call me that more often.

Well, I might take that seriously if you hadn't just demonstrated how little I should value your opinion when it comes to music. Now run along and listen to Disturbed. :rolleyes:

I most certainly will Mr. Music Professor. I'll also listen to a little Alice in chains, GNR, and maybe a little Rick Derringer too. Then afterwards I'm gonna go play frisbee with every Elvis Costello album I can get my hands on. ....because "I" think "his" music "sucks"

[Irid70]

If you're going to be a music snob at least do your homework.


If we're gonna talk about doing homework then, geez...ok, musical taste is pretty much purely subjective. But in terms of musicianship, theory, influence, etc...Elvis Costello beats the living hell out of Disturbed or any of the other crap metal bands people have mentioned.

That goes triple for Miles Davis, and about thirty for Chopin.

I try to listen to new music when I get the chance, and to keep an open mind. But I can't imagine sharing much musical taste with someone who summarily dismisses one of the most versatile and literate songwriters of the past several decades, arguably the most influential jazz musician of all time, and one of the greatest piano composers who ever lived. Dismissing Costello is particularly perplexing to me because he has played and influenced so many genres that it is not difficult to find at least one version of Elvis Costello that you like. Further...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that, in terms of musical proficiency...actually composing and playing an instrument...there's nothing that any of those crap metal bands could do that Costello, Davis, or Chopin couldn't do, and top. The reverse is absolutely 100% not true.

But hey, musical taste is subjective, and I'm sure I like lots of stuff nobody else here likes and etc. And that's fine.

[Compulsive Collector]

I most certainly will Mr. Music Professor. You know, I was just breaking balls with the original Megadeth comment. Honestly, if I had known someone would get his panties in such a bunch over it...

I'd have done it sooner!

But hey, musical taste is subjective, and I'm sure I like lots of stuff nobody else here likes and etc. And that's fine. Same here. I like a lot of noise bands, from The Melvins to more obnoxious stuff like Melt-Banana, not to mention early grindcore like Napalm Death and Carcass, that I'm sure would drive most of you up the wall. I'm also a devoted fan of Fiona Apple. But even if I don't like something, I'll be respectful of anything truly innovative, anything that pushes the boundaries or challenges my senses. That's what Chopin did. That's what Miles did. That's what Costello has been doing throughout his career. Hell, I despise Bob Dylan's voice, but I recognize his songwriting genius, and I'd be a fool to dismiss it.

I totally agree with your last paragraph. However, it just completely nullified the validity of everything you said before it! That is all your "opinion" and I happen to not agree with it.

Do I personally like Johnny Cash better than Disturbed? Absolutely! Will Johnny Cash ever make it into a G.I.JOE movie? I seriously doubt it!

Music is definitely subjective and arguing over who is better or more talented or more entertaining or whatever is futile!
This is why I took issue with Compulsive Collector blatantly disregarding and even attacking other members musical tastes when all we are doing is having some fun musing on what would be in this films soundtrack if we were calling the shots. None of these songs will be on the soundtrack to this film but there is absolutely no point in pissing on anyone's picnic is there?

[swafus]

You know, I was just breaking balls with the original Megadeth comment. Honestly, if I had known someone would get his panties in such a bunch over it...

You just remember who your "Daddy" is there ole buddy ;-) and my panties are not the issue here!

"and what struck me was the total lack of respect and appreciation for your fellow board members"

If you guys want to argue music theory, history, or influence, I'm sure it would be much more productive somewhere other than "G.I.JOE SOUNDTRACK"

[Compulsive Collector]

Do I personally like Johnny Cash better than Disturbed? Absolutely! Will Johnny Cash ever make it into a G.I.JOE movie? I seriously doubt it! Do you really think every scene in the film will be action? Couldn't something like that be playing when a character from the South is called up from leave? Use some imagination. If Marvin Gaye can make it into Michael Baybots, then why not? Hell, just imagine what Major Bludd would be listening to in his room/office/quarters/whatever.

They why didn't you "take issue" with the comments about hip hop, oh ye heroic defender of nu metal? :D It's all just breaking balls, man. No need to take any of it seriously.

You just remember who your "Daddy" is there ole buddy ;-) Yes, sir. May I have another, sir?

and my panties are not the issue here! Unless you're wearing a thong, because that would give us entirely new ideas for a soundtrack.

This is totally feasible and I can see that working.

Truth be told I'm not even that big of a nu-metal fan. I just thought it was infantile to point out how something sucks when you've never sampled it? Plus the rap comment was a blanket statement and wasn't in the direction of any of the posters. What you said was a direct jab at what everyone had come up with.
Yes, sir. May I have another, sir?

I'm open 24 hrs. a day, brotha! :-)

Unless you're wearing a thong, because that would give us entirely new ideas for a soundtrack.

There's a good entry: the thong song by sisqo! In case there is a scene with Lady Jaye and Scarlett washing a VAMP!!

[kingofpain26]

ok,.. when did this thread go so way out of context.

Quite frankly, if you DID your homework, we know Alan Silvestri did great orchestral soundtrack scores, Like Back to the Future soundtracks, Beowulf, The Mummy, The Abyss, Forrest Gump, Predator, the Delta force, The Long Kiss Goodnight,.. and so forth

so we can be assured that the score will be ten times better than anything that the musical score will come up with.

also, considering the multicultural cast, you could also assume that the soundtrack will aso be multicultural: a Mix of Pop, rock, rap, and possible a techno song or two, as well as a rock variation of the original G.I.Joe theme (similar to Transformers animated version by Lion) I sincerly doubt that there is going to be any 80's music at all, espeically exclusively a metal album, OR a hip-hhop album,.. they're just not gonna sell they way the movie people would like. Remember how dismal the sales were for the mostly Metal Spawn Soundtrack, Likewise for the all Hip-Hop Street Fighter soundtrack?

.. notice how the Transformers live movie had a mixture or rock and pop, with only ONE song that could be considered metal (and mainstream metal at that) and the popularity of the soundtrack was carried by the popularity of Linkin park's "What I've DOne". Without it, the soundtrack may have flopped.

sometimes you guys have to think with the same dollar signs that the execs will be thinking with, not with "my favorite Movie"

quite frankly, an all metal soundtrack wouldnt work for this genre,.. too heavy for G.I.Joe, same problem with an all rap album as well. We can tell from the cast the movie sint gonna be too serious (some people are expecting a Black Hawk Down kinda movie,.. that just isnt the case) I could see a 15 track soundtrack, with at least two pieces of the score on the soundtrack. Its gonna probably be a mix of new popular music, with maybe one or two tracks all new music for the film.


now,.. that being said, I have to stand up for lsitening for ALL types of music, I for one dont completely dislike all the new Hip Hop music, but its the same deal with metal as well,.. I dont Like Manson, not because he's metal, but because he's kinda wack. However I LOVE Metallica, Disturbed, and the b side tracks of System of a Down, on the flip side, I cant stand Jim Jones, Young Jeezy, or anything Jay-Z has put out in the last few years (I guess I am an old Schooler). but if the Mood hits me, I CAN listen to 'The Beautiful People" or "Go Getta".

You cant really condemn anyone for not listening to the music you like, but likewise you cant really call what someone else listens to crap.

[kilowatt]

Kingofpain26, you listen to crap.

[kingofpain26]

there is an old saying:

"Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference"

[karamazov80]

I vote for some Pat Metheny Falcon and the Snowman-type stuff for the battle scenes, and letting Celine Dion cover the "Real American Hero" song. Or maybe Tom Waits. . .oh lord, they're going to let Toby Keith do it, aren't they. . .

If "the Bodies Hit the Floor" song isn't on the commercial, I will be shocked :(

[Dark 5cythe]

Everytime I hear the song "Liberate" by Disturbed it makes me think of a Cobra fight song?!

Conflict by disturbed! when stormshadow and SE fight!

and my contribution is Feuer Frei by Rammstein

[kingofpain26]

well,.. if you read the Directors recent interview,.. from the sounds of the movie (especially with Marlon Wayans in it) you can just chuck the metal songs right out the window.

we'll probably end up hearing Eminem's "I'm a Soldier"!!!

Oh god no hip hop in the movie. I would rather have it scored classically like star wars. Rap always sounds so dated when you hear it in a movie years later.

[G.I.Eddie]

Rap/Hip Hop hurts my ears...why so much symble*?

If the " Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" song isn't on the commercial, I will be shocked :(

this song was in the movie "The One" when Jet Li was kicking the shnikes out of some cops and it was the freak'n best fight scene in a movie because of it...another great part in this movie was when they played "down with the sickness" during another fight scene...right as a bomb exploded the song kicked in and it was AWESOME!!!


*if i used the wrong spelling for symble (or any word for that matter), and your only recourse is to correct me, FU spelling/grammer police!...seriously, who gives a crap!

[kilowatt]

I was being sarcastic.

[G.I.Eddie]

I was being sarcastic.
thats why you have to put smiles at the end of something meant in jest cause sarcasm does not travel well in text form

[kilowatt]

Sorry, I don't do smiles because everything I say here is with a smile. This is a happy place.

[paulpratt]

The internet makes everyone sound angry.

[kingofpain26]

another saying:

"Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.
Even if you win, you're still retarded."

anyway, after reading that interview, i am holding on to Alan Silvestri in creating a good orchestral score, 'cause I no longer have faith that the music soundtrack is going to be any good.

[Onslaught Six]

Guys, guys, come on. Can't we all settle this over some good old Arch Enemy?

No? Well, okay.

I, for one, really do support Rooster showing up somewhere. It's from AIC's later era, particularly, when they started to mellow out a lot. Mostly because Layne was on heroin a lot. Anyway, Rooster is about Jerry Cantrell's Father, who was over in Vietnam and stuff. And it's just a good song.

[karamazov80]

I, for one, really do support Rooster showing up somewhere.
I like the song, but I can't see it fitting into the Joe movie. I also have difficulty imagining that the producers will take this film "seriously" enough to do a full orchestral score. I think nu metal, other forms of modern, emotional "rock" (like Evanescence or those guys that did the Spiderman "hero to save us" song--are they considered "nu metal?), or hip hop are most likely, given that producers seem to think that, for modern action movies, those types of music are helpful toward appealing to teenage boys, I guess.

I hate almost all modern music. Give me some Woodie Guthrie, Django Reinhardt, and Bix Beiderbecke! If they refuse that advice, then an all-polka soundtrack would be pretty awesome.

[Irid70]

I also have difficulty imagining that the producers will take this film "seriously" enough to do a full orchestral score.


Then why did they hire Alan Silvestri?

[G.I.Eddie]

maybe some Cold Slither on the soundtrack

[DarthBrett]

One of my all-time favorite AIC songs (right next to any song from Jar of Flies, that whole album was great) and and how great would that be to honor his dad with the song being included in the Joe movie. You never know, it could just happen!

[SnAkEyEz]

it should be something with a lot of energy.. like this

http://www.zshare.net/audio/6551823b01f460/

[Derek2783]

DMX - Party up!!! ;)

[BEACHHEAD]

Rare Earth - "Get Ready"

[rikkuluverx2]

hmm, i think the snakes on a plane theme song should be in the movie/soundtrack,like before the final mission/big battle at the end or something, the song is called "bring it" by cobra starship, haha yesh, "cobra" starship :D

-rikkuluverx2

[Dark 5cythe]

I nominate anything that compulsive collector won't like. If it ticks him off it'll warm my heart. :))

[SnAkEyEz]

danny elfman needs to do the theme song for the movie.. would be the best choice

[the_loud_master]

bump!

Any fresh ideas out there people? IDK, whatta about Weird Al?

[Astrokreep]

Cobra Starship NEEDS to be on the Soundtrack.

[Demon_o'the_Deep]

AC/DC would be perfect for a scene involving the Dreadnoks. "TNT" or "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" would work perfectly in a scene where they're arming up at the garage or rolling onto the scene to mess with the joes for the first time.

[swafus]

It;s been confirmed that the dreadnoks will not be in the movie. Possibly in the sequel?

[Lifeline 71]

Speaking of AC/DC, I've always envisioned a scene where Snake Eyes is getting "geared up" and "Back In Black" is playing in the background. While I doubt it's his kinda music, it just fits somehow.

A new score would be a nice way to go, since no one here is really on the same page. Something original that could incorporate some of the old songs from the cartoons for a bit of nostalgia.

I just started reading this whole thread, hilarious. There are a grip of metalheads here huh? I can appreciate metal, but all types of music appeal to me (with real Hiphop in my heart) I tend to agree with Compulsive Collector, Madvillain would have to be in the mix as well, MF references Destro all the time anyway.

[Johnnyakiba]

I love it when it's funny around here.
Seriously, I could see some Heavy Metal in there. Though I am not a metal fan. I also like a variety of music so anything could work.

[morgencross]

I've been saying for years I'd love to see the 'Commander & Destro Going into a seedy biker bar to cut a deal with Zartan while Motorhead is playing "Cold Slither" on stage.

[Crimson Guard 51]

some hard Kid Rock...i can't help it.

i went to his concert last night. best concert i've ever seen.

[LaDracul]

Call me cheeky, but they should have Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" in the film.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/AnnaValerious/DestroUnmasked-1.jpg

Okay, I'm kidding about that.

However, after listening to Franz Ferdinand's album, this song fits Destro perfectly-
Shopping for Blood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkRI0V37vIg)

That DOES sound like it would fit for a traitorous arms dealer, right?

[Dropshot]

a backtreet boy number with the Joes making a choreography while kicking ass.

Joking aside, it would be awesome to have evanescence.

[Echo7Solo]

Van F'n Halen! But that should be in every movie

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

Eminem's : "Im a Soldier" off the Eminem show album

That song should be on the soundtrack hands down.I have always wanted to make a little video with that song to SE."when its time to collect,its only heroes who pay".

Allz I know it need RAWK or else its gunna suck.

[Crimson Rage]

No songs!
I'd prefer an orchestral score all the way, with maybe one song over the closing credits.
That's what I'd like. I suspect that what we'll get is the usual mix of tracks that justify a "music from and inspired by..." CD.

However, I can just envisage a Cobra convoy of troops & vehicles thundering along to 'Links 1-2-3' by Rammstein.

I thought I'd bring this up I'd like a good orchestral score like Batman Begins, but I'd also like some rock music in there too. Also I'd love to hear the music from the cartoons, they were great at creating moods, even though they were used in Transformers too!

[SnakeEyes1982]

For some reason when the movie opens I want a classic 80s scene. I want to see a few characters driving around on a couple of AWE strikes listening to Guns 'N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle". They can be raiding some small Cobra place to get something that sets up the plot for the rest of the film.
Then the movie can be whatever it wants, but that would be a great opening scene. That would totally jive with the 80s US badass vibe.

No, No, No.
That would just remind too many peeps of Iron Man with the opening Buggy ride.
Start it off with Storm Shadows uncle's death.

As far as Rap being dated , I would imagine the same can be said for the "rock or metal stars" screaming and yelling on the radio now a days or previous days . The music that many people consider classics either rap or non-rap I would think has the right to be heard . I also think music now as a whole whether it be hip hop or rock is not what it used to be and for people to say that all one music is terrible is pretty sad in this day and age . I listen to a variety of radio stations and music because I personally don't think I can stand to hear certain songs but 3 times a day . Hell, tons of the so called hard rockers new and old like hip hop , and the same can be said for old school rapper liking rock. Its just not the music that they can perform . Fold up those denim vests with the pentagrams on the back , pop the t-tops on the Camaro and listen to a Big Daddy Kane or Ray Charles tune. Joe Dokken said he wont revoke your "cool guy" card . You guys are pretty rough on each other .

I hate when they put top 40 hits lyrical music in a movie, it makes the movie cheap and unoriginal. no creativity...
For a good example~ Look at Conan the Barbarian. Great sound track, with full orchestral music that hits on a emotional ambiance. Pumps you up or makes you sad. It goes along with the story. It doesn't use a cheap shot of some music you have heard 100,000,000,000 times on the radio.

Not someones' favorite hits, lol bleh. I guess thats ok for some teenager movie. OMG ! Thats my favorite song and it's in this movie! OMG! I like this movie better now! lol, cheap marketing is all that is.

[Crimson Rage]

The "songs" in a movie are usually a marketing ploy to get a "music from and inspired by.." CD out to cash in.
Look at Transformers and that crappy song CD they released months before the great score. The songs that were from the film were barely featured and often only as instrumental sections. Most action films these days will have a primarily orchestral score I think, and I hope that's true for GI JOE.

[frankthedamned]

This thread is purely theoretical, Alan Silvestri gets paid to write scores like Back to the Future and Polar Express, it will dominate the soundtrack and hopefully convey an incredible sense of momentum.

BUT, to give us all a sense of what the G.I. Joe theme may (or does) sound like... listen to this (http://cdn2.libsyn.com/fsmpodcast/FSM_Podcast_032.mp3?nvb=20080708044940&nva=20080709044940&t=0faf00b326ced08830fc3). (2:30 Three quarters of the way through)

Well if were talking about the score, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo)would do a kick ass job. listen to this http://youtube.com/watch?v=vOAXAoHtl7o

[frankthedamned]

Interesting, I wonder how the Joe theme and the Mac ads would sound together. Although the Life Aquatic soundtrack was adventurous, Mothersbaugh's style is light-hearted and at odds with what at least his thread is suggesting the soundtrack should sound like. That being said, I am all for a non-mainstream sound, but again, that's not why they hired Silvestri, and it's cetainly not in the spirit of the G.I. Joe brand.

[frankthedamned]

It turned into the "music inspired by" soundtrack. Which I understand, I can't imagine all Joe collectors being into film score, but if the Joe theme quoted in the Film Score Monthly podcast I linked to is legit, then I will be very happy. (Trying to find more info on this snippet)

It's not legit, it is definitely an interpretation of the theme ala Silvestri. But it sounds really good. The Supergirl soundtrack also sounds great and could be a nice starting place for G.I. Joe. Gotta listen to the podcast to take this all in, or don't and pull up your nu metal playlist!

[Wildfire]

I say John Williams(Star Wars soundtrack ) or Hans Zimmer (Pirates soundtrack)for score and a mixture of My Chemical Romance, AC/DC, and a bunch of kick butt rock groups.

[Griff]

Why not just have the village people do the soundtrack for the movie. I mean its not like it would make the movie any worse :> (pictures a scene of shipwreck and torpedo dancing to "In The Navy")

[TheLongestDay]

The Longest Day - "Time Will Tell" ...perfect song to start the movie....hehehehehe ;)

[CobraCoffee]

The Crystal Method
"The name of the game"

[82joe]

Cold slither

[CobraCoffee]

cold slither

winner!

[~Synder Corps.~]

Ice Cube's "Wicked"

As for score...Greg Edmunson, the guy who did the Firefly TV show score...AWSOME stuff

[MrClean]

gotta go with Team America's theme "America...*** yeah!"

(not really, but it'd be funny.)

[MSU44]

Somewhere some how the them music from either the cartoon or the the original movie needs to be in there, LOL.


Ok how about the following:

Rob (White) Zombie: Thunderkiss 65

GNR: Welcome to the Jungle

Hank Williams Jr.: A Country Boy can Survive or All My Rowdy friends.

LL Cool J: I'm Bad

Drowning Pool: Let the Bodies hit the floor

God smack: I'm doing the best I ever did

Metallica: Enter Sandman

Digital Underground: The Humpty Dance

I love the tkprimes thought on Real American...Hulk Hogan Cameo?

How funny would it be if the Mortal Kombat techno music played during a SE vs SS fight?

[Crimson Rage]

"Ace of Spades" by Motorhead. That song's so cool you can set anything to it!

[Captain STEVEN DePACE]

looks to me like this thread wants a nu metal soundtrack.


Hahahaha of course it does, G.I. Joe fans tend to be angry white dudes, and nothing gets them in THE ZONE as hard and fast as Drowning Pool or Audioslave, or the ten thousand bands that sound exactly Slayer without all the devils and shit or something else that's only popular because of society's "shut up and shop" mentality. The only group of people with worse taste in music are Juggalos and people who like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones

BTW Dr. Henry E. Miller has told me you make good music Delta

[Flame Viper]

Team America World Police Theme Song??

Just Joking!

Wow! Nail on the head!!

Dr. Henry E. Miller is part right. I MAKE GREAT MUSIC!! j/k :)

Not too many bands sound like Slayer.... lots of them do sound like they're trying to sound like Slayer though.

And yes, no 'Nu' Metal and no 'R and B' songs which are just someone talking about humping over a drum machine backing track.

Realistically though, if there's any soundtrack with vocal songs, at least 80% of it is likely to consist of offerings from no-name artists, or half-assed offerings from big names who had the song in question going spare becasue it wasn't worth using anywhere else.

I'd still vote Mark Mothersbaugh, but I'd have him do Schlindlers list too. YouTube - Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island / Lightning Strike Rescue Op (http://youtube.com/watch?v=vOAXAoHtl7o)
