Axl isnt the only current GNR member to have done videogame work!

For fun this morning I decided to run through the missions of a very old PC videogame , Interstate 76 , released in 1995 and featuring a VERY cool ingame soundtrack of "funk" music .. mostly a band called bullmark. The game is based on autocombat , weapon laden muscle cars .. so anyways , I blast through the 18 missions .. I know the game inside out as I played the multiplayer portion of the game online for about 5-6 years. So I finish the game and I'm reading the credits .. who is credited as one of the musicians? None other then GNR's very own BRAIN MANTIA!!!!

Blew my freaking mind that a game I bought so many years ago and played so much featured a drummer who I listen to so much these days. I was floored and had to share with you guys.

I dunno if anyone here has played Interstate76 before? Just figured I'd pass that along!

peace.

Perhaps Doom 3 ?? ? But I think Robin didn't do anything, just relation Id Software <-> NiN (I'm not sure at all? )

The whole band is in one of the megaman games.

as much as video game makers are realizing how much music adds to the gave, seems a lot more artists and performers are getting involved.... games now feature soundtracks!  video game music has come a long way from pac-man and mario brothers

he's credited on the soundtarck?

Buckethead was on the soundtrack for the Mortal Kombat movie, not the game.

And Mega Man X3 contains an instrumental ripoff of "My Michelle". ?It's obvious that the makers of that series of GNR fans because in Mega Man X5 several enemies are named after GNR members.

[norway]

yeah 4 the movie, the first i think?

Trent Reznor has spoken on the official NIN website about Doom 3, the reasons why his work did not make it into the game and on his relationship with John Carmack.
According to Trent Reznor, the initial plans for Doom 3 called for no musical soundtrack as such, but a musical, immersive environment. A theme tune to accompany the game intro was planned but according to Mr. Reznor, ...time and money and bad management... did not let the collaboration work out.

The initial plans for the involvement of the NIN lead singer called for total control over the game's audio, as an overall sound producer, ...from foley and voice over to ambient world noise.. Work on the audio involved working directly in the game editor and with the programmers. Trent Reznor describes his work, during that time, at iD as ...thinking in a different way... The overall effort focused on bringing the environment to musical life by ..."tuning" various environmental sources so they 'd cohesively interact with one another in a "musical" way. Imagine your footsteps, as part of an orchestra which may also include a nearby dripping ceiling and the creaking of a door.

The NIN front man still claims to be eagerly awaiting Doom 3 and to be looking forward to trying out the powerful new engine. You can find a link to the full Trent Reznor interview by following the download tab above.

While hearing anything from Mr. Rose these days is a rare treat indeed, I don't exactly consider his "videogame work" a feather in his cap...

Yeah I used to have this game for my PC back in the day! I used to love it, haven't played it in ages. Didn't Activision release a sequal??
