Alright, G.I.Joe Soundtrack!

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.

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

I now officially nominate Mandy Patinkin to play Destro. He does a terrific Scottish accent and he can sing. :p

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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!

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.

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"
