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. Last edited by B.A. Shipp; 07-01-2008 at 12:53 PM.. |

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.

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. (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

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.

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! Last edited by frankthedamned; 07-08-2008 at 02:10 AM.. |

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.

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")
