Favorite GTA theme song/intro


Recommended Posts

San Andreas by a small margin, I do like the jazzy "3", but even better, the theme for the Cell phone in GTA 4, I went with "Drive" for my ringtone, and the original "camera" backdrop wallpaper that the phone gets upon starting that missions, it looks good, but of course the bare midrif ain't bad either!

#1 - GTA III: I've always liked the jazzy intro to it

#2 - GTA IV: I like the mix of electronic and classical, makes it epic

#3 - GTA VC: Reminds me of Miami Vice

#4 - GTA LCS: Sounds awesome, like a new version of the Godfather theme

#5 - GTA SA: It's ok, not that big of a fan of it

#6 - GTA VCS: Sounds too much like a soap opera in my opinion

 

Oh, by the way, you left out the theme to GTA 1! It's the best! Also, the GTA 2 one is good, the one they play at the menu screen.

1. LCS - Love the hip beat with the distorted guitar in the background and also the military style snare rolls at the start and end.

2. VC - So upbeat and funky!

3. III - The sleek and smooth sound this tune is cool.

4. IV - Such a simple tune, but theres something about it that makes me love it so much! (and why did they start with a image slideshow intro instead of the silouettes with images inside them? Probably part of R* "starting from scratch")

5. SA - Good tune but too simple and "hip hoppy" for me.

6. VCT - Sounds too much like a cliche 80's show intro song for me.

VCS opens with Foreigner in the background and I say Kudos for that in the game! I also love the 80s retro Apple like Pre-intro for the Vice City PS2 edition.

 

I think in GTA4, the graphic credits were VERY nicely done, despite the opening stills we were familiar with.

I am a major fan of Miami Vice and the old Night Rider series as well, 80s shows that were top notch. Also I admit to being a Dukes of Hazard fan for many years. I think Jan Hammer's scoring was so good, I bought an actual 45 LP with it! I still have that along with Rick Springfield and Falco, as well as DLR on 45 single! No CD singles in those days!

you forgot to include the theme to GTA. the top down original. That would get my vote.

 

 

 

lyrics:

 

 

HOTEL, DOWNTOWN, SPEEDING ALL AROUND

AN AK-47 GOT THE POWER IN IT'S BARRELS

TO MOVE ANY MOTHER THAT GETS IN MY WAY,

JUST ANOTHER POWER MACHINE ON THE FREEWAY

 

RIDING WITH ME IS MY MC HOMEBOY

KNOWING THE RULES AIN'T PART OF HIS PROGRAM

FINDING THA RIGHT WAY AROUND THIS MAP

MIGHT BE PRETTY HARD 'CAUSE HE'S f*ckED ON CRACK

 

G-GRAND THEFT AUTO

YOU GOTTA MAKE A MARK TO MOVE WHERE YOU WANT TO

 

T-THEFT

DETERMINATION TO STEAL WHAT YOU CAN AND RUN FROM THE NATION

 

A-HEY, WHAT DO YA SAY?

WE AUTOMATE THE SEQUENCE AND SPEED FOR MY GETAWAY

TICKET TO THE EDGE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE,

AND CALL UP THE BOY. LET'S GO FOR A JOYRIDE [X2]

 

CHORUS:

{MUSIC PLAYS}

 

STOP THA VIOLENCE FROM THE POLICE

YOU KNOW MY DAD USED TO SAY BUT NOW HE'S DECEASED

HE GOT CAUGHT IN A JAM, THREW IN THE CAN

WHEN THE COPS FROM BROOKLYN SAID HE KILLED ANOTHER MAN

SEEK KNOWLEDGE WAS MY MAIN GAME

TO FIGURE OUT THE THE LAW, TO FIGURE OUT THE FRAME

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I KNEW JUSTICE

A COP BEHIND ME SAID "YOU JUST BEEN BUSTED"

 

{MUSIC PLAYS}

 

NYPD (NYPD)

LAPD (LAPD)

SFPD (SFPD)

 

DON'T f*ck WITH ME

GTA: VICE CITY by far. Best intro music hands down!

 

The intro just screams: guns, money, drugs, women, beaches, sunshine, potential!

By the way, watching the VC intro makes me want to start playing it again. And makes me hope at some point R* might revamp VC and make it look as good as IV does now.

I'm in work at the moment and I have no speakers, so I can't listen to those vids, but having played all of them, as far as I can remember, none of the GTA games ever had a decent theme song worth talking about.

For real? What about the excellent LCS theme? Did you not think that was just uber cool? IV's is a disappointment compared to that, I can tell you!

I don't like it at all.
