Here Today... Gone To Hell!

anyone know where this soundtrack is from?

I've been wondering this too. All I know it sounds awesome live. So damn massive...

yeah... it`s perfect. i was seriously blown away when i heard it live.

I would love to know that too.  Absolutely perfect beginning for their show ;D

Isn't that something the band has created?

Who would have created it, Chris Pitman? I think it's from a film.

link? i haven't heard it yet :-[

if i hear one more person question the rare talent that is Chris Pittman... I'm going to burst  :rant:

Yeah, I really think it's Chris Pittman's work. He can really create some fantastic melodies (The Blues)  ;)

Is there a link I can check it?

just download any of the 2006 bootlegs from a torrent or just a link.. and youll hear it

go to appetie for collection section and just pick one :hihi:

I think it'll be from a movie, but looks like nobody knows which one yet.

It reminded me of the Titanic sinking... but clearly not from that movie.

ta  but I don't quite understand what intro people are talking about.

Im pretty sure everyone is talking about the Intro before Welcome to the Jungle.

It's really reminiscent of the one they used '01-'02 but it's different.

yeah like we wanna dl a whole show for an intro...

thanks anyway


here is the intro from novarock

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NOTVK16S

I think imsorry cleaned it...thanks to Axl4Life of RoV as well : ok:

Sounds like a John Williams peice :hihi:

I HATE THAT SOUND!!!

I've been listening to it for 30 minutes in Budapest.

it pissed me off, over and over again, and the band doesnt show up...
I'd rather sit in silence than listen to that vomit machine on repeat.

I know the song... I can't place the movie... Maybe it wasn't a movie clip.. Hmmm.... I doubt they composed it themselves though...

there are parts of it that sound a lot like the Jaws score, but its not

i didnt see that neemo already uplaoded the intro so i uploaded it, but anyway another one cant hurt.. here's the one from budapest...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lfygh4

I think it may be John Williams. And and i wasn't bashing Chris Pitman either!

I think it's good but nothing compared to 'The Ectsacy of Gold' from The Good The Bad and The Ugly, which Metallica have used for over 20 years as their intro tape.

Cheers AxlsMainMan  :-* , neemo  :-* , EFISH  :-* .

although I think chris is capable of making a piece like this, this one is a recording of a real orchestra.

That's what it reminds me of!! : ok:

I was thinking of the Exorcist, but now that I think about it, the intro is totally like the main theme from Jaws.. :hihi:

God I hope they aren't copying Metallica.

It defianatly sounds like movie music. Movie soundtrack stuff is so cool ;D I have tons of soundtracks on my iPod. Wonder what the boys in GNR have on theres? Signature GNR iPod would be the bee's knees.

I love the intro...reminds me of Godzilla or something.  It builds soo much anticipation and, for lack of a better word, fear into the audience.  because when I was at Hammerstein, the crowd just squeezed in so tight on the floor, and me being high, and not knowing what to expect and on top of it all hearing this intro...then the opening riff to Jungle...AMAZING!! :drool:

This is the theme to the Circus Olay at the Prima Donna in Nevada.

i think the song sucks.  it's boring and long.  besides, the melody sounds pretty similar to the "pinion" intro to nine inch nails concerts (now THAT is a good opener).  does axl have to copy trent with everything he does?

Major contradictions in that post dude.  You say the intro sucks, yet it's very similar to NIN's intro which is good.  Something doesn't add up.

bitch puh-leazze!!  the melody sounds robbed... but it's like axl had an orchestra play a much longer and much slower version.  the nin intro is great because it's short, it builds in intensity, and it uses guitars.  this intro is boring because it's long-winded and BOORRRIIINNGG.

So in other words, it's NOTHING like the NIN's intro.  Okay, you stand corrected.

again.... the melody sounds similar.  do you know what a melody is?

it's the sound from jaws...

I do, and you still make no sense.  Similar melody, yet one is great and one is terrible.  Do you know what a contradiction is?

i already explained why.  you're just an idiot.

Why are you on this board if you're such a big NIN fan?  Don't they have a community you can frolic in?

why are you here if you're such a cum-guzzling ass-assassin?  don't they have video chatrooms for you guys to talk about jerking each other off in?

I love the intro tape. Gets me pumped up pretty well!

I like it but it is about 2 min too long. You can hear the crowd get restless as the intro turns over again.

Yes it is great intro,with jungle the best intro for some show!!!

i think now gnr shows have better intro,than in uyi tour or 2002 tour

anyone that havn't really seen it live shouldn't come and say if it's bad or not... you have in case not an idea how it feels like...

in both and helsinki it didn't last more that 1,5min

YEAH WHERES IS IT FROM ? ! ! !

are you sure? i'm gonna start using this intro on our shows and i need to find this asap : ok: i don't wanna go buy the jaws soundtrack for nothing lol

i am 100% its from a film soundtrack, i used to bum films when i was younger and i know a theme when i hear one.

ive got the film but i dont have a clue what it is, but i can guarantee you its from a movie, a famous one also.

I don't even remember hearing this in Stockholm, I totally missed it! :hihi:

It sounds cool though, a good show opener.


Oh, and happy birthday, mrlee! I turn 16 in 8 days. :beer:

How can you not remember? I mean, it's the part where most people are about to have a heart attack  :hihi:

Yeah, you're right!  I think this every time I hear The Blues.   :-*

The intro. is very cool.  I don't know where it's from either.  It sets the stage nicely for the roof to get blown off with Jungle's intro.   8)

Haha, I know, it's weird! :hihi:

But I was about to have a heart attack all day, and I was waiting for Jungle so intensly, that everything else was just background noise.

yeah but doesnt rent use the song off broken ep? as oepner...which owns can i say.

Marco Beltrami did it.

yeah mrlee, he uses pinion from the broken ep.  i was just saying that the melody reminds me of pinion.  but seriously, does anybody else notice how it looks like axl bought the on-stage led screens second-hand from trent after the "with teeth" tour?  http://www.plsn.com/Current-Issue/Production-Profile/ProdProfile-Dec05

That's what I was going to say

right i spoke to Rich Fortus on aol last night and he said its defo from a film and Robin actually chose it. Although he doesn't know which film its from until he see Robin next. if anyone can shed some light on what film it'd be real cool.  ;)

Yes, everything about the GN'R show was influenced by NIN.  ::)




/jarmo

Could you not just wait till you speak to Richard next and by then he will be able to tell you what Robin said?

I'm just saying that's all 'cos it doesn't look like anyone knows it here

I'm pretty sure it's from The Exorcist.

Nah, I think that was the 2001/2002 one.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but can anyone tell me if they know what the doomy, bassy music is called that is played just before guns took the stage during the 2006 tour?

Also, is there an mp3/flac of it without the crowd noise around?

Cheers

BomBom

I think the intro comes from an instrumental part on the David Bowie Album "Heroes".  It has also been used in the movie "Wir Kinder von Bahnhoff Zoo", about a drug addicted teenage girl in Berlin.

I haven't heard what you guys are talking about, but if it is the intro they used as RIR parts of it totally reminded me  of the Jaws score as well, totally suspencfull as well, I loved it!!!

It definitely isn't Jaws, no way.  It sounds very similar to the music from 'The Shining,'  the original one with Jack Nicholson.  It sounds almost too similar at parts.   

i emailed Ron

<< i was wondering if you could tell me the name of the song you guys play before you take the stage... the real dark one.

Don't know... lol

bbf

sorry, but not even close..

A friend of mine thought it was similar to music in 'The Terminator'. ???

Off "The Omen" Soundtrack or in the movie

(possibly)

-Greg

It's *not* from the Omen, I'm 100% sure of that. My brother has the soundtrack albums for the 3 first movies, and is a big fan, so he would know.

I am almost 100% sure that the band created the intro self. It rocks!

Well we know its from a film Linuzzzzz. And everyone thinks everything is from the Omen. At pub quizes when they play dark music like that and you have to guess the film, you'd be amazed how many people say The Omen.

How can you know it's from a film?

I think Richard said that it was from a movie, and that Robin picked it.

Can someone help me with that 2006 tour intro of Guns N' Roses? Its like different James Bond theme but i couldnt name it? whats that?

This has been asked a couple of times, and I don't think anyone has come up with a definitive answer yet for what it is.

Hopefully I'm wrong, cuz I would also like to know what it is

Maybe Chris Pittman wrote it.  :D

That figures, I read on the internet that he wrote all of Chinese Democracy.

In one night, nonetheless.

It's from War of The Worlds.

The spotlights are meant to be from the big robots and the music is from the score.

Cheers!

Do you know which track it is on this: http://www.amazon.com/War-Worlds-John-Williams/dp/B0009A3ZZI

Not sure which track...me and my buddy that work at a music store realized it was War of The Worlds when they were doing the spotlight thing over the crowd. It's the noise the robots make when they are looking for people in the movie.

it sounds like something by Bernard Herrmann

hey dude, get a look at that sheet from universal again?? :hihi:

don't think this is it....sounds similar.....but it's not it

My oppinion is a bit skewed because I'm a ufo buff, but I think the music along with the spot lights moving around the crowd is like a space ship coming in for a landing. jimho

EDIT- I just noticed Crimson Joel's post, but I've posted my idea before... fwiw
(http://www.mov8.com/gallery/dvdcover/c/closeencounters.jpg)

I downloaded the war of the worlds soundtrack - and its not there....any other ideas?

It might not necessarily be "from" the soundtrack, watch the movie...they do the exact same thing when the spotlights hover all around the crowd and the noises are a duplication of the noises the robots make.

someone has to know where this is from....

anyone have War of the Worlds?

I just went through the score of the movie WAR OF THE WORLDS.  Nothing.  It has to be from a score of a movie though.  I'm shocked this has yet to be determined.  Anyway... anyone think of sending Robin an e-mail to ask him?

Do we know for sure that it's a recording playing? I just assumed it was being played Live on a keyboard which, along with the spot lights, creates the U.F.O. illusion.

I checked the scenes that you've mentioned. Its not from the war of the worlds.

I think Fortus has confirmed that Robin selected the track, and that it was a movie score.

Well then I would recommend Close Encounters of The Third Kind.

Negative... this score does not have the intro to GNR.

If my memory serves me...and I was in attendance at the Madison Square Garden show, the introduction is from, 'A Clockwork Orange'. The arranger is Walter 'Wendy' Carlos and is a reworking of Beethoven... Ding.Ding.Ding. Ring the Bell. Win a prize?

?

not even close :( any other suggestions?

I was dreaming then...and preoccupied with drunkeness, my own and a friend passing out next to me right before vomiting on my leather jacket-- and the girl in the row above me desirous of making out all night...I had felt like the kissing couple that the camera briefly pans on in the Paradise City video.Back to subject-- would someone repost a link to the intro, I'm pretty good at name that tune....

A hoi hoi
Mojoeye
   

Wow, all these months and none of us still know the answer? Someone needs to stick the clip on a nerdy movie message board and ask.

I think that this intro is maybe from the Bram Stokers Dracula Soundtrack, I think it is the song at the beginning of the film ?!?!??

cant belive we havnt had anyone confiming this yet ????

I said it before and I'll say it again. I assumed it was being played Live on a keyboard. If the info that it's definitely a soundtrack is just rumor, than you all might be chasing swamp gas. (ufo pun intended)

That's hardly confirmation of a movie soundtrack. I don't really care either way. I just like the idea of the space ship sounds & lights being used as the intro for the shows on this world tour.

And that couple weren't even a couple. The dude cheated on his girl at the show n' got caught, and aired nationally.

It's from war of the worlds

No. I will say it again : I CHECKED THE EVERY SINGLE SCENE IN THE MOVIE FOR THIS SONG, AND IT IS NOT FROM THE WAR OF THE WORLDS!!

I just watched War of The Worlds. And the same exact sounds from the Guns intro ARE in the movie. But I have a feeling that "someone" here just likes to hear themselves talk. (see themselves type)

maybe, but the music is not the same

I'M TELLIING YOU, IT'S FROM THAT MOVIE, IT'S RE-ORCHESTRATED BY MR PIT(T)MAN, BUT IT'S FROM THAT MOVIE.  FROM WHEN THOSE GIANT MACHINES ARE SURCHING FOR PEOPLE TO SUCK UP.

^^^^

You are correct. But some people don't know anything about performing Live. Funny too, because the person who REALLY needs to get their hands on this intro music is a Live performer.  :hihi:

Do some detetctive work and you can figure out who it is.

I say youTube the part if you're so sure.

put it on youtube or shut up

I am 99% certain that it is not it


Now, anyone else have any other ideas?

hahaha.  seriously... if they are so certain, they ought to youTube it.

I'm 100% certain that some of the noises in the Guns intro ARE from The War of The Worlds. I even have the entire Guns intro audio on DV from my filming at MSG. But I'm not gonna post something that is the property of Guns n' Roses for people who don't know shit about Live performing and music composition. This entire thread is based on an ASSUMPTION that the ENTIRE intro is a direct rip from a soundtrack song. You're wrong.

The Tribute band who needs this audio should just re-compose it if they're so talented. But the tribute band's biggest problem right now is that they can't get a good recording of the audio... even to re-compose it, because the tribute band is in England right now and Guns ISN'T. All they have to go on right now is YouTube videos, which don't have the entire intro clealrly enough to re-compose it.  :hihi:

Or the download leak. :P

I'm not sure what you mean.

i'm sorry but i don't know what you're talkin about

there's a very good recording of the intro, i have it in my comp, from the Novarock bootleg.. it's an audience recording yes, but it's very good quality

I don't know, but from what I remember from Richard's mail it seems that the intro is indeed part of a movie soundtrack, i don't think it's been retouched, but who knows

When members of Guns say things to reliable media sources, everyone online finds a way to fuck it up. If Richard said something in an eMail, I wouldn't take it literally to mean that the entire intro came directly from a movie soundtrack. In fact, I would expect a band that plays mostly original music to add to the movie sounds rather than go the simple route.

No disrespect to the tribute band though. I think they should just take the sounds of the tripod machine in the War of The Worlds soundtrack and make an intro that sounds similar. 99% of their fans won't know the difference.

I don't think you know...why would they go that much trouble to re-orchestrate a song and add noises from the movies?

I believe the intro is from a film. It sounds like the beginning of a film to me. If you have proof, post it. Otherwise, your argument is just an opinion, like mine is.

plus, your excuse for not posting it does not hold water.....we have ALWAYS traded live songs here, and no one has a problem with it. There are millions of things on YouTube from Guns...I don't think one more is going to change any thing

I must admit I have been very intrigued to find out where this intro music is from, but does even this thread have to turn into a bloody argument?

Mike

You can hear the intro pretty well in the Youtube clip of WTTJ from the Chicago show (11/27).  I've not seen War of the Worlds, so I can't provide my testimony.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj58oBaLL-g

dont wanna argue, just won't take someone's word without proof

sorry if seemed argumentative, I just would like to have a studio version of that song

Trouble? Pitman could come up with some sounds and add them to the WOTW Tripod noises in like, a couple of hours. In fact, as an artist, I would be more embarrased if fans knew that my band just used 2 minutes of audio from a soundtrack than if my band used some skill and came up with something to ADD to the space ship illusion... with some added original music.

Unlike the millions of things on YouTube, I was given permission to record what I have. And it WASN'T to use "for any and all artistic purposes what so ever." (to put it in technical terms) So I'm not going to jeopardize MY artistic future to prove something to a tribute band that's just too lazy or untalented to write something similar on their own... even though their audience wouldn't know the difference if they have the skill to make it sound close.

And besides that, I was simply saying that I know for certain that the noises from the Tripods in WOTW are in the Guns intro. But I'm not going to sit here and waste my time creating an audio file that has a piece of the Guns intro and a piece of the WOTW noises to prove it to a tribute band that's just too lazy or untalented to write something similar on their own... even though their audience wouldn't know the difference if they have the skill to make it sound close.


You're right. It SHOULDN'T be an argument. But it's happening because someone is really adamant about getting a good copy of the recording because it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy important to them. It's so important that the resistance has the illusion of coming from more than one board member.  :hihi:

whats the orchestral music that gnr play before jungle? anyone know? what do you think of it? i think its really cool!

Seriously?
