Music you want to hear in Fallout: New Vegas

[CowboyfromHell666]

Run to the Hills. Iron Maiden
Follow hte Reaper. Children of Bodom
Bat Country. Avenged Sevenfold
I've been Everwhere. Johnny Cash.


Holy crap that would make things 100x more awesome.

You sir, are a genius

 

[Axolotl]

Regardless of the music on the radio, surely everyone can agre we should have Mark Morgan doing the background music? Even Inon Zur didn't think the music in Fallout 3 fitted.

 

[Demonraiser]

They NEED this

better quality from more recent recording obviously, but its old enough to be in the game. gimme some good 60's rock

I would need music from the modern age because Fallout 3 had a soundtrack so bad I wanted to take off all my armor and run into the deathclaw sanctuary. It was horrible, atrocious, a crime upon my eardrums.

I want the bands Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Puddle of Mudd, Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot. .

Missed the whole concept of Fallout then, did ya?

Or was that a very well disguised joke...?

I know the concept, I'm just saying I'd rather have no music then music that makes my character want to kill himself.

In the most polite way I can think of putting this...

Those bands really would not suit the atmosphere that Fallout sets out to create.

I would honestly cry if they had Avenged Sevenfold on the soundtrack to one of my favorite games.

I never said my list would please everyone, I'm just saying I wish they had a radio station for that kind of music so I could enjoy it. Till they do I'll have to settle for listening for footsteps in the distance, the wind, and the rare off in the distance nuclear blast. That's better then wanting to take the nearest hammer or other heavy blunt object to my pip-boy in a fit of rage only to come to my senses and realize I just decimated my inventory managemant, stats management, method of using stimpacks of wounded limbs, and perhaps most importantly my map.

I see where you're coming from, but Fallout is based in an alternate universe where the 1950s values and culture remained, so that's the only kind of music that really fits into the radio stations.

However... some more energising, nastier music on the actual soundtrack itself would indeed be great.

Like this little piece from Fallout 2:

That's cool, I know most of the music in Fallout 3 was slow so you need something like the music in your example for the larger gunfights like say for example clearing out the Jefferson Memorial and there's about 1 or 2 super mutants in every room. That music is much better for that kind of run and gun gameplay.

That sounds a little like The Black Dog.

They also did the soundtrack to Tekkonkinkreet - though I think they may have been called something else when they did that - Plaid yes, that's it. Anyway, love The Black Dog, they would be great as BGM in both Fallout and ME for that matter.

 

[Plurralbles]

Run to the Hills. Iron Maiden
Follow hte Reaper. Children of Bodom
Bat Country. Avenged Sevenfold
I've been Everwhere. Johnny Cash.

No, that would just totally fuck up the canon, don't forget in the FO universe popular culture never went passed 50s music and jazz, so anything passed the counter culture of the 60s that revolutionized music wouldn't work.

I love Iron Maiden too, it just won't work.

Johnny Cash though would be an exception.

I would need music from the modern age because Fallout 3 had a soundtrack so bad I wanted to take off all my armor and run into the deathclaw sanctuary. It was horrible, atrocious, a crime upon my eardrums.

I want the bands Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Puddle of Mudd, Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot. while this is a wishlist I'd also like a sonic weapon that lets me amplify what I have on the radio into a much more conentrated and directed form so I can point it at an enemy and blow their head off with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DOSO9HLEOk The concentrated awesomeness would do epic damage at even extreme ranges.

Well aren't you just full of culture...0o

aww, that's disappointing. Thanks for the info though. I've just watched videos of the game being played and thought about what would be so cool in a post apocalyptic, rife with nuclear fallout world.

But I'd rather not divide by zero so I guess my suggestions are moot.

Cash would be cool though as you're killing things all around the world with your gun bad-ass-ly.

hey man, dont be dissin 3 dog. I actually enjoyed 3 dog's news.
How can you beat i dont want to set the world on fire? theres no other song that fits better for fallout than that! I honestly think they should put that in again! . we should get some buddy holly and elvis. fallout 3 was 30's & 40's, fallout new vegas, 50's and 60's. Hopefully. maybe some early rock'n roll?

 

[jmd102993]

Rock n' Roll was never invented in the Fallout universe. So no Metal either.

Hasn't Rock and Roll appeared in all the previous games?

And how doyou know what was or wasn't invented in the Fallout universe? We haven't even seen if it's an alternate universe or if it's a future for the one we live in.

yes we have, we know that it is an alternate future equal to ours, but essentially stopped right around the 40-50's but kept advancing technologically

I agree. The action music in F3 wasn't up to scratch, it didn't get the adrenalin going at all.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I agree. The action music in F3 wasn't up to scratch, it didn't get the adrenalin going at all.

Yeah, pretty much my only fault with it. I loved the minimalistic background soundtrack, and old style songs fit the mood now and again too. Something for the bigger set pieces to kick it up a notch would have gone a long way though...

I notice I end up quoting you a lot when it comes to fallout!

Not surprising... I have an unhealthy obsession with it!

 

[Chechosaurus]

Pretty much anything by Tom Waits would be perfect.

 

[The Spectator]

That really depends on the story and area. Each song had a specific in game reference, which is quite funny.

But something Las Vegas'y and old school music like last time would be quite preferably.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Just to keep this alive, more Ink Spots please (the dudes behind Maybe and Set the World on Fire)

 

[sephiroth1991]

Spoiler: The trailer music you know

Spoiler: and some Johnny cash

yeah i know it's from 1957

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Fallout 1&2 related Music would be great!

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Django Motherfucking Reinhardt.


My favourite pre-50's music, without question. Although some Charlie Parker would be nice too.

This song is so... damn... addicting...

i heard most of his tracks in Mafia the game...

/thread

No self threading please.

...But yes, this is possibly a /thread moment.

yeah i know it's from 1957

It was said in Playstation Magazine that New Vegas would contain a few western numbers, so there may be some stuff like this.
