Because all the bars and clubs play heavy metal don't they...i think that speaks for itself.

I know quite a few metal clubs around here, and they're far more popular than the ones that play ©rap  You must not get out much.  Broaden your music horizons.

From what I have seen confirmed so far, I'm not satisfied. I don't see a music station that I will stay on for long. There are a few ok tracks spread out across them, and I'm sure I'll find a few that are new to me that are ok, but I can't see myself just leaving it any of these stations.

Link to the ost plz

I am butt-hurt they haven't reiterated any form of Radio Broker. FlyLo FM (a mix between Radio Broker and Electro-Choc) is a weird mix, and is odd to listen to (though if you skip some songs you do get to the good ones) and the other ones I don't really find appealing... I wish they had new stuff by NiN or Skindred, that would have been good on the metal/industrial station, but their metal station is f*cking terrible, they might as-well have filled it with My Black Dahlia stuff and expect it to appeal to everyone.

I must say I am, ESPECIALLY with Channel X
Keith nailed the sh*t out of it, the tunes are great too. Youth f*ckin' Brigade and stuff. Perfect.

channel x was ok but I have to say west coast classics wow brings back cj days in the hood driving around in sweets car with sweet , Ryder and smoke getting clucking bell and then getting involved in a drive by with the ballas.

Your friends bedroom doesnt count as a bar or club you little gimp...telling people to get out more yet its your lot that like to sit in a dark environment contemplating suicide....can't remember the last time i saw a happy metal head, they usually stroll about with there head down in the pavement looking severely depressed, hell they even dress depressing in the black clothes just a cult of freaks.

[Hotband]

I'm not satisfied, as all i've heard is hip hop, rap, country music and rock. How about something that people actually listen to...

Yeah, the songs are garbage, looks like i'm not going to be listening to the radio...

[MK3Blackhound]

No. We're not allowed to. It's easy to find with a google search though.

Going down the list, here are my thoughts on each station.

• Radio Los Santos: Not particularly a fan of modern rap, and the songs on here don't do much to change my impressions of it, so I don't know how much I'll be listening to this station.
• Channel X: Classic West Coast hardcore punk? Oh hell yeah. This is definitely gonna be my "rampage" music.
• Rebel Radio: I've never been a fan of country music, but going by this preview, maybe that has to do with the state of modern country (it really has gone "sissy" if you ask me). This sounds pretty interesting.
• East Los FM: Another genre that I've never really been a fan of, but again, some interesting stuff in the preview.
• West Coast Classics: N.W.A. Snoop Dogg. Tupac. Compton's Most Wanted. Everything that I want in a classic LA rap station. Unlike Radio Los Santos, this is probably gonna get a lot of airplay from me.
• FlyLo FM: It's a shame about Nightride FM turning out to be just a rumor, because Drive's soundtrack was one of the best things about that movie, but this looks promising. Pretty weird, though.
• Vinewood Boulevard Radio: Sounds like it's gonna be this game's version of Radio Broker, with its indie alt-rock, only less hipster-oriented. So far, so good.

As for the other stations that we haven't had previews of...

• Los Santos Rock Radio: Big fan of classic rock, and given the two tracks we've heard from the trailers, I think this is gonna be good.
• Non-Stop-Pop FM: This could go either way. It largely depends on which songs they pick, but in any case, I'm surprised that GTA hasn't had a modern pop music station yet. In any case, doing drive-bys while blasting Britney sounds like one of those things that GTA should've had a long time ago.
• Soulwax FM: Didn't really like Electrochoc in IV, so I don't think I'll be listening to this all that much. At least it's not dubstep.
• The Blue Ark: Again, I can't really get into reggae no matter how hard I try, so I think I'll be skipping over this station more often than not as well.
• Worldwide FM: In IV, The Journey was inexplicably one of my favorite radio stations. If this is anything like that, I think I'll be listening to it quite a bit.
• The Low Down 91.1: Oh yeah. '70s soul and funk is always great.
• Radio Mirror Park: Not sure about having another indie rock station. Hope that, when the preview goes up, it's different enough from Vinewood Boulevard Radio to really stand out.
• Space 103.2: You had me at Rick James and Stevie Wonder.
• WCTR and Blaine County Talk Radio: I'm guessing that Blaine County Talk is gonna be like WKTT's right-wing talk radio format, while WCTR is gonna be like PLR. They both sound like fun, though I can't say for certain until I hear samples of shows.

Only thing I think the soundtrack really lacks is metal music, but even then, I'd rather it be '80s hair metal and thrash than the modern metal that a lot of you guys are suggesting. Given the nature of LA's real-life metal scene, that would fit the setting a lot better than anything European. I also wish that one of the indie rock stations was instead devoted to High Desert stoner rock. I recall someone bringing it up in another thread on what kind of radio stations they want, and after listening to some of it, it would've been the perfect soundtrack for Blaine County when you're not in the mood for outlaw country.

 

Overall, it looks good. I'm a fan of rock music, so despite the lack of metal, the diversity otherwise -- hardcore punk, garage rock, classic rock (Queen!), and presumably more to come -- looks like it'll be fun. The rap selection is a mixed bag, but West Coast Classics alone salvages most of it for me.

[Chase177]

I hope Los Santos Rock Radio is a new rock station. IV only had classic rock.

 
Vinewood BLVD is the new Rock Station. LSRR is pretty much classic rock as well.

Vinewood BLVD is more of a punk rock station. I would like to see a hard new rock station that plays songs from bands like Five Finger Death Punch, Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin, etc...

[Black Ninja]

@2491cc I agree people who listen to rap country and rock aren't people especially those who listen to rap and nobody intelligent listens to any of those genres and I love me some good old polka music WARING SARCASM DETECTED!!!!

[Coral_City]

Ahh, gotta love the racism in the comments. Obviously the majority of white gamers have an issue with the music, but that's okay, because while they complain -- I'm gonna be sitting back listening to Westcoast Classics.

Im guessing that next friday R* will release the rest of the music and throughout next week finish off the site.. seems to be how they have been doing it anyway

[Slippery Gypsy]

 

Thats your problem, you have been so brainwashed by pop music that you think music is all about vocals. This music is all about instrumentation. Pick up a guitar and try to play it. You will fail miserably, I assure you.

 

You realize rap music is all about MIDI programming synthetic instruments with computer programs right? They are not musicians, they talk behind an artificial beat. All you can hear in rap is the voice...which is the opposite of what music actually is.

 

You wouldn't even be able to create a basic beat in one ableton or fruityloops the ignorance is bliss, takes far more creativity and knowledge to use these programs and make a class tune then to pick up a guitar and flick a few strings

 

Are you serious..... Have you ever heard of scales ect?

[Slippery Gypsy]

IS it that hard to have a modern hard rock station?

[GTA5Searcher]

The Latin Station, East Los FM has some of the oddest Spanish language tracks - pretty disappointing

[shane94]

Cant wait to listen to FlyLO FM and Rebel county

[Red Hat]

I'm more than satisfied

[Wiseguy_Tony]

California has quite the metal music scene so I can't see why Rockstar would exclude it. Just because it's not what's "bumpin' in da club" doesn't mean it should be overlooked either. It's a part of Cali's nice variety of music. Plus, metal and rampaging as Trevor go hand in hand in my opinion.

[wetlook]

It's really remarkable the bias some people have against all music that isn't exclusively made by straight white men with guitars. This soundtrack more or less covers every major genre of popular music but metalheads not only cry over the omission of one VERY NICHE kind of music, but basically try to argue that all other genres of popular music are somehow illegitimate based on some borderline-racist logic about the merits of playing a complicated guitar solo vs. nuanced electronic production that they have no clue what the f*ck they're even talking about.

 

I'm not sh*tting on metal because I personally think it's great and would have loved to see some in GTAV, but cut out all the anti hip-hop sh*t because you sound like a bunch of racist morons. I don't know if you've turned on top 40 radio in any city in America recently but EVERYONE listens to hip hop, not just the "wiggers and hoodrats".

[Hardline_Pro]

No. I am sad that there is no songs by The Who.

[MySummerJob]

I am mostly happy with the soundtrack so far.
