Beast Wars Theme Songs?

Unread post by Merbum »

I am a fan of music of all kinds, and I was wondering what songs would fit with each of the Maximals and Predicons? I might cook up a list myself but I would be interested to get your ideas for theme songs for them as I think of some.

Well I think the song Lucifer's Angel by Rasmus kind of works with TM2 Dinobot, but i think it could kind work with Rampage as well.

Yeah, for some reason Dinobot and Linkin Park seems to go well together. I think their songs What's I've Done and Leave Out All The Rest work well him.

I'll agree with you there, Linkin Park is great and all but Im trying to stray from the typical bands. Still thinking of tunes here but am starting to paint a fuzzy picture.

Hmmm, well the song I Stand Alone from the movie Quest for Camelot does seem to fit Tigatron pretty well.

I hate to say this but Linkin Park and Dinobot have been done to death to the point that it is nigh impossible to find a Dinobot AMV that doesnt feature the song.

Reducing Dinobot to a stereotypically angsty song is a debasement of his awesome character. We have to remember that Dinobot above all else was more then just an angst ridden character.

A few alternatives I'd associate with Dinobot are:

Manowar - Call to Arms

Nightwish - Tenth Man Down

For Overall Ambience, Batman Theme - Molossus

For his periods of Melancholy, Judas Priest - Alone

Strangely, Madonna - Frozen

Random Smatterings for Other Chars:

Tigatron - Nightwish - Creek Mary's Blood

Rampage - Lordi - Blood Red Sandman

Rampage - Apocalyptica - Path

Rampage + ? - Nigthwish - Beauty of the Beast

Yet Another Rampage - The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

Optimus - Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh <--- I dont quite get it myself. Dont ask.

Cheetor - Initial D - Speedy Speed Boy

Cheetor, When he's not hyper - Sort of, Dunno, Nothin' - Peter Denahy

Rattrap - Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

Megatron - Clint Mansell - Requiem For a Dream

Now I'm going to throw in some Shameless Plugs :D

Rattrap Vid - Act On Instinct

Dinobot Vid - Into the Darkness

General Vid (Started off as a Megs video) - Sharp Dressed Man

Another General Vid - Judas Priest - Painkiller

The Painkiller one was actually a bit hilarious. The first minute is the straight up intro from Beast Wars unedited, and it matches up PERFECTLY to the song. I was so blown away at the time I discovered this I had to make the rest of the video :D

Yeah, as much I like Linkin Park, I have to agree that it's been done to death.

I like that song Frozen by Madonna, thought I never really thought of it for Dinobot before.

Though one time, one of my friends on DA suggested the song, "Where Will You Go" by Evanescence as a theme song for Dinobot. I like Evanescence, but I've never heard it before, so I've have to see if can find it on Youtube or Playlist.

Also speaking of Evanescence, for some reason Scorponok sometimes come sto mind when I hear thier song Missing, and I'm not really a fna od Scorponok. But I guess in a way the song kind of works in a way since no one really mourned for him when he died. Here's a link to song and you can tell me what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV2sxGmZDaA

Also sometimes the song, I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rtNcaQvFvI kind of make sme think fo Cheetor. I think he kind of works with how he matures, but I think it probably work better with his BM personality.

Oh that was an awesome vid. Come to think of it, I think I might have also seen a Dinobot tribute set to the song No Angel by Dido.

Oh and as you can see I edited my last post because I had thought of more to add.

Ahahah, there is alot of good songs I am hearing from you guys! I hope the input keeps coming!

With all these songs thought up and the library of tunes I got this makes my choices much harder to make!

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is a good choice for DB, methinks.

Coincidentally, Metallica's Master of Puppets is a good choice for a Rampage vid.
