Promo Video Music

[ViciouZ]

So what song/type of background music?

1. Come On - The Levellers
Good:

• Nice Tune
• Optimistic
• Not generic rock music
• Short enough for a trailer at 2:55

Bad:

• Maybe not to everybody's tastes

Example:

2. Free Your Mind - CLSM

Good:

• Rave music/Techno
• "Feel Good" tune

Bad:

• Needs to be heavily cut to fit
• Long lead up

Example:

3. Longest Day - Iron Maiden

Good:

• Rock/NWOBM music
• Nice intro
• Appropriate lyrics, maybe

Bad:

• About D-Day, may offend people
• Quite Long

Example:

4. Other (Suggest)
If you think there's an appropriate song, then post it here. If you just want to post about what songs you like, go to the "what are you listening to?" thread.


5. Our Own
Probably the best option because it means we can't run into any copyright infringement issues. If you're in a band, maybe you can contribute.

How about War by System of a Down?

The strokes - Reptilia

I'm going to go with Zorch on this one.

[ViciouZ]

Basically I put those songs there because I thought they were good examples of their genre and yet didnt sound generic. System of A Down's somewhat shouty style may make the video like every other second video on youtube with just a montage of kills in a game with somewhat repetitive metal music.
I have a soft spot for the Strokes.

Edit: Sorry, it seems today I am tact free.

You're allowed 2 votes, as the poll tells you... I'll take the first two. Sandstorm is a bit overused as well :-/

Scooter - Friends

[ViciouZ]

OK, new Idea. You have to post pros and cons of songs, and also you can only suggest one song each, and also everybody must vote for the levellers.

[nightryder]

Jump Around- House of Pain (i think)

Pros: it has the word jump in it, itll make you want to hit something
Cons: may be too hardcore for viciouz

[TinMan]

Yeah, it's house of pain.
Pros: JUMP
Cons: Swears, talks about abusing women, etc...

[nightryder]

really!?!?!....i guess i should listen closer next time

[ViciouZ]

Poll redone, no more suggesting ideas. Vote count reset to reflect this. However, Jump Around apparently can't be used because it containz hardcore swearingz and ho-beatings.
