Lets Make a Vietnam Esque Music Playlist (for black ops, but it doesn't have to be)

[SpireOfFire]

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

thats really the only song you need.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower

Rolling Stones - Paint it Black, Gimme Shelter

Thats all you need right here, maybe some Bob Dylan if you want to please the 60's ZeitGeist.

 

[Hollock]

how about this?
=D

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Purple Haze: Jimi Hendrix.

That's all I have at the moment.

That, All Along The Watchtower or Voodoo Chile.


Perhaps Bomber by Motorhead too. 'For teh lulz'.

 

[Captain Pirate]

....sigh. You aren't listening, and you aren't even trying. Do me a favor, would you? Go to youtube, type in Gimme Shelter, and listen to the song? Please? It'll only take a few minutes.

Or go to wikipedia, or some site you trust more, and pull up a Rolling Stones discography. Ctrl-F Gimme Shelter, then search Just a Shot Away. Tell me which gets more hits.

...did you go to my link? The song is called Gimme Shelter. There are a hundred youtube videos alone that have this song listed as Gimme Shelter. Other people on this thread alone has said its Gimme Shelter.

Please, please tell me you are trolling. Otherwise, I am just disappointed.

Yeah, fine I fucked up. A friend told me it was 'Just A Shot Away' on the trailer, so I looked it up and it was there. It was the same song in the trailer so I assumed it was the right one.
I had no reason to believe Gimme Shelter was the same song at the time...

Sorry. I'm not trolling. I just got led astray by Youtube. I'm not a big Stones fan, I had no idea.
And please, don't have a rant at me because I barely know the Rolling Stones music; it's just not my type of music. I don't give a shit how big and famous they are, how drastically they changed music, or how talented they are.
None of the three will make me like them more.
I respect their talent, and their success, but I don't like their music too much.

Jesus fucking christ man, that song is calld Gimme Shelter!!

The Rolling Stones never made a song called Just A Shot Away!!

Type in "The Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter" into youtube. Just do it.

You'll then find out that you are wrong, and that song is called Gimme Shelter, and has been called Gimme Shelter on every single album that it's used on.

Either you've been led astray by some Youtube tard who got the song name wrong, you are a troll, I'm not sure which one.

Again, I apologise. I apologise even more to you, because I assumed I was right, and acted like a total dick to you using your own insult.
You are right on the former, I was led astray by multiple Youtube tards. All the comments in the video said how they'd heard it in the trailer too, thus making me think it was the right song.

EDIT: The Tempest by Pendulum would work to Black Ops I think. More so the Vietnamese jungle missions.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Stick in Purple Heart by Sabaton, it's about 'Nam.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Spoiler: Orange Crush by REM

<youtube=tf79lOZ7inw>

I'm surprised this wasn't posted here already.

Here. I was beaten to the punch. First song I associate with the whole Vietnam War.

Really, it's a great song, doesn't exactly do much for kicking ass, but it's powerful as hell.

Oh, and...

Open CD Player
Put in soundtrack to Forrest Gump
Mission Accomplished.

This is pure win, too.

[distended]
