I use present day music for my guys... Wolf-"Lust For Life" Thantos-"Unholy" Apocalypse-"Theme from the movie Zombie" Star Warrior-"Prince of the Universe" just to name a few That's cool ST. I always associated game year intro music as being somewhat tied in with the years from our century (2070's equaling 70's music, etc.). Some other favorite entrance themes from 2087 Massif The O'Jays 'Love Train'* After an angle where Massif was blinded by Exo King and put out of action for 4 months...creative 'repackaged' the big man upon his return with a more spiritual theme to play up the supernal nature of his rebirth (and build to the money revenge match with EK) so we used Bob Marley 'One Love'...it worked as he became more popular than ever...once the audio sounded and the intro images hit the Paint Dry Tron...the 'sing along' reactions were insane
Invincible Krakan 'Theme From Jaws'
Commander Sam 'USMC Hymn'
Exo-King 'Pomp and Circumstance'
LWPD (Killer Queen was always a difficult character for me to book...I didn't connect with his 'androgynous flamboyance'...yet I couldn't ignore that he was a semi-main event level stalwart in the ring...I ended up giving him a complex 'master of manipulation' Adrian Street-esque persona)
Desert loving in your eyes
All the way
If I listen to your lies
Would you say...
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

When Rob N and myself shared a game we came up with themes for everybody. We stopped playing together around 1991-92 but from what I can remember are as follows
Welcome to the jungle --All the Ani-men
Bishop Hell and Kraken (tag champs with us) --Hells Bells
Thantos -- Darth Vader theme
Gladiators -- Welcome to the Machine
Vanity -- That's a man
Norse Gods -- God of Thunder
Massif -- Walk all over you
Star Warrior -- Pour some sugar on me (Rob's choice)
Greek Gods -- Chariots of Fire
Bounty Hunter -- Love it loud
Lord Nexus and B.J.B. -- Jungle Boogie

On some guys I use generic theme music if they havent been established or in a mid card funk...I have "Money" by Pink Floyd for Tom...my real guys have their original theme...i.e. Bret Hart...Heart Attack..Eddie Guerrero..Viva La Raza...etc.

The explanation for using music from this time period is two fold.
1) Copyrights are not an issue (yes there are Galactic Copyrights Law)
2) LIke all things, music tends to cycle in popularity. In my New Beginnings era, the "classics" are popular again.

LWPD = odd, but strangely compelling fellow
MarkCPC (Who wishes that we could all pay to use any music we wanted and thus avoid the royalty police at the RIAA, but still wants the musicians to get paid fairly, being one himself)

I've never really imagined entrance themes for most guys, for reasons brought up earlier: not likely that a federation in the 21st-22nd centuries will all be using music from our generation and our planet.
But, off the top of my head, starting with New Beginning guys...
Monolith - 4th movement from Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World"), which you've doubtless heard even if you're not a classical music aficionado.
Endgame - The bombastic John Williams theme of your choice.
Bloodline - "Wherever I May Roam," Metallica
Encubus - "South of Heaven," Slayer
Sly Drury - "God's Gonna Cut You Down," Johnny Cash
Gryt - "Fat Lip," Sum 41
Stars & Stripes - "Born in the USA," Bruce (American Guy being exactly the sort of guy who would have the irony of this selection fly right over his head)
Tricks - "The Carny," Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Dead Ringer - "Like a Mirror," Morphine
The Master Race - "Heresy," NIN

Not sure that "God is dead and no-one cares; if there is a hell I'll see you there" is good catch phrase-ology for a couple alien thugs. |
