GTA VI Music & Radio

[Mister Pink]

You know, it really couldn't hurt if there was a radio station dedicated to German music, most likely if the game takes place in Russia or Germany. And if the game takes place in the U.S.A., the most likely DJ for the German radio station is either Reni Wassulmaier or Hans Oberlander. From electronic sounds like Kraftwerk...

 

They could get Hans Oberlander back or keep with sort of a trend of getting real musicians in like Wolfgang Flur to maybe even play a parody of himself as an ex-member of Kraftwerk. Like Axl Rose in San Andreas.

[Mid Night Club]

I hope they bring back the classics through a Classics radio station like in TBoGT.

But that makes sense only if it's set in the modern age. If it's in the late 70s or early to mid 80s, which I hope it would, then no need.

I'd like to see a radio like this one:

It reminds me of GTA Vice City for some reasons.

It would be nice if an oldies channel aired old Christmas songs during December:

 

[Two And Three]

I would like an Experimental Rock Station. Something weirder for the music snobs like me (Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Mr Bungle, The Residents).

 

Also, about four Punk Stations. 1. Classic Punk Rock (1970s) 2. New Wave/Post Punk (1970s-1980s) 3. Post Hardcore ( Fugazi, At The Drive In) 4. Hardcore Punk (80s).

 

One thing I DON'T want is this 90s Alt Rock thing (since I hate most of that stuff, and also no Nu Metal, and Post Grunge). But an 80s Alt Rock station would be good. Featuring genres like Gothic Rock (Bauhaus, The Cure), Noise Rock (Sonic Youth, Jesus And Mary Chain), Industrial Rock (Swans, NIN) And the classic Alt Rock sound ( R.E.M., The Replacements).

 

Also more electronica. Not EDM. But IDM would be good. More of that old ( Ambient, Progressive) electronic music ( Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno). I would love some agressive Rave music (Prodigy). Maybe like an Alternative Dance and Madchester station (Primal Scream, Happy Mondays).

 

For Hip Hop... I would have liked a throwback classic East Coast rap station. And I would LOVE a Alternative Hip Hop station mixed wth some Jazz Rap. The station would also (mostly) play East Coast rappers (cause I like em more). The station would play old and new songs. And finally an agressive station dedicated to Industrial Hip Hop (or whatever you call it) station. Stuff like Death Grips, and Clipper.

 

Also more Jazz. I don't care, put em! The more the better. I would like Jazz Fusion the most, bust any Jazz is good Jazz. I just need some Miles Davis and Mahavishnu. Also an Avant Garde Jazz station (John Zorn).

 

Then I would have liked a Proto Punk station. Playing dirty old Rock And Roll from the 60s and early 70s ( The Stooges, MC5). And put some (early) agressive Krautrock in there too.

 

Then we need a Classic Rock station. Something that plays 60s Blues Rock, and Hard Rock from the 70s (Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper). No soft Rock this time. Why? Cause we should have a seperate station. Then we would have Power Ballad station, which would play songs from the 90s up to today (Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon - Urge Overkill for example). Then we would have an Easy Listening station (which would have Soft Rock on it too).

 

Then we need some Oldies. More of that old Soul and Funk. Then we should have a R&B station ( 60s, not the new stuff). And Finally some (really old) Blues.

 

P.S. Also some Dancehall and Classical.

Erm... I wouldn't disagree with anything you said there. Nice one.

[RelentlessRR]

Thought of another few songs we desperately need - The Get Up Kids - 10 Minutes and The Get Up Kids - Action & Action. If they don't add at least one of the songs I mentioned I'll be quite sad.

I'm not sure about what you mean with the DJs. For example, Francois K (Electro Choc) is based in New York/Liberty City (I met him once ), so that made sense. It adds a bit of realism for those that know him and I'm sure half of the people here didn't know him but the people that do, it's a nice easter-egg. I love the way Rockstar doesn't advertise their famous DJ's. It's usually a surprise and most of the time you have to look up the credits to find out. BTW, nice tracks you posted.

Better hosts. I cannot for the life of me remember any radio hosts from IV or V other than that some of them were musicians (Like Kenny Loggins for LSRR) and that's literally it. Sure, celebrities and musicians have played radio hosts before in the series, but they had different personality traits that gave them character and made them very fun to listen to. Name THREE radio hosts from the HD universe that are anywhere near as good as Julio G from Radio Los Santos, Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith from K-DST, Sage from Radio X, Toni from Flash FM, or Lazlow from V-Rock. And no, the talk radio stations don't count. Yeah, I thought so.

Yeah I'm probably gonna get sh*t for this. Oh well

[Holden Caulfield]

Kinda like Bullworth Rock Radio in GTA Underground, I'd like to see nu metal, rap metal, et cetera

For instance:

 

Chevelle - Shameful Metaphors

 

Rage Against The Machine - Renegades of Funk

 

(Won't let me embed these two, don't know why)

 

System of a Down - Forest

 

 

Also, we need Serj Tankian's orchestral

 

Serj Tankian, FCC, Auckland Philharmonia - Lie Lie Lie (Orchestral)

 

 

[GTAHDMan]

My GTA VI Rock Radio will be in the same vain as Liberty Rock Radio AC/DC Back in Black, Aerosmith Walk This Way Alice Cooper Dangerous Tonight Anthrax The Enemy The Beatles Can't Buy Me Love Black Sabbath The Wizard Black Sabbath Time Machine Boston More than a Feeling Def Leppard Pour Some Sugur on Me Dio Stand up and Shout Iron Maiden Sea of Madness Iron Maiden Killers Judas Priest Exciter Judas Priest Freewheel Burning KISS Detroit Rock City KISS Creatures of the Night Megadeth Hanger 18 Metallica Trapped Under Ice Ozzy Osbourne Flying High Again Pink Floyd Hey You Queen Under Pressure Rolling Stones ( I Cant Get No) Satisfaction Slayer Seasons of the Abyss Guns N' Roses Locomotive Paul McCarney & Wings To Live and Let Die Mötley Crüe Shout out the Devil Genesis Land of Confusion David Bowie Starman The Who Who are You Van Halen Get Up Vinne Vincent Invasion Twisted Dokken It's Not Love Van Halen Romeo Delight That's My List Tell Me What did u Think

[-Nich-]

I would like a radio station like Radio X to return and the introduction of a metal station, not like that other station called Channel X

 

Alternative:

Soundgarden

Audioslave

R.A.T.M

Faith No More

Stone Temple Pilots, etc.

 

Metal and Classic Metal:

Metallica

MegaDeth

Iron Maiden

Led Zeppelin

etc.

[Ivan1997GTA]

If the next GTA game takes place somewhere in Detroit, it needs a Gothic Rock & Darkwave/80's alternative station. It would fit for some abandoned/empty streets in the Detroit spoof city, especially at night, giving some Manhunt vibes.

 

 

 

 

[GTAHDMan]

Also my Dj will be Dee Snider from Twisted Sister

[GTAHDMan]

I added a Motorhead song a Twisted Sister song and Ratt song they are Motorhead Hellraiser Twisted Sister Tear it Loose and Ratt Lay it Down

[GrandTheftPots]

This please Chronixx start a fyah

Well, blink-182 treat himself as punk rock ;p

 

I think thats can be a great example of punk rock music, by the way Last Caress is a so f*cking great music.

 

 

[Yinepi]

All I really want is radio that plays slower experimental electronic music, such as Downtempo, Chillwave, Future Jazz, or Progressive Trance. Worldwide FM is an abomination.

 

An station that plays good New Wave/Synthpop/Dance Rock music.

 

An actually good dance station like Liberty City Stories Rise FM or TBoGT Vladivostok that plays Deep House, Euro House, Trance, etc. None of this Electro/EDM that plays on SoulWax and Electro-Choc.

 

In short I want songs like these:

 

 

I don't know about you guys, but these feel modern Vice City vibe to me.

This may be a stretch but I would love a radio station hosted by Ween. They make quite comical yet genuinely enjoyable music and would make pretty funny hosts, almost Tim + Eric type humour. It would be so fitting to have their songs in a humorous game like GTA, especially considering we barely get any comical songs on the radio compared to the talk shows and commercials.

 

 

 

 

The only problem I see with this is that I can't imagine what genre or theme it would fit into - only thing I could think of is a parody station.

Great band, I even made a station dedicated to them on the Create Your Own Radio Station thread.

[jamesos]

Heres a list for multiple radio stations if its based in the 80s (anytime in the 80s):

Joy Division- Love Will Tear Us Apart

The Smiths- Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

New Order- Blue Monday

Pink Floyd- Another Brick In The Wall

The Sugarhill Gang- Rappers Delight

Queen- Another One Bites The Dust

Metallica- Master Of Puppets

Eurythmics- Sweet Dreams

Kraftwerk- Computer Love

Phil Collins- In The Air Tonight

Devo- Whip It

Nena- 99 Luftballons

Soft Cell- Tainted Love

The Clash- Rock The Kasbah

Black Flag- Slip It In

The Descendents- Suburban Home

 

 

 

[Mister Pink]

I like all those songs but maybe get all those artists and not just their biggest hit. ^

 

I've been listening to a bit of Italo-Disco lately. Would love a dedicated station. It would be a throwback to III's Scarface music or the music in LCS.

 

 

 

 

[reform]

Some great tracks suggested in this thread. OP suggestions a Boards of Canada track especially made me smile, as I've been a big fan since Geogaddi, and Campfire remains one of my fav albums.

 

I love the idea of introducing new content to not just the chat stations, but all of them, based on story progression, and perhaps a similar concept for online. When new tacks dropped for PS4/XB1 release, and then again for PC release/IGG2, it really helped keep the game fresh for me.

 

Most stations in V started with about 15 tracks (last gen). I think each station (in single player) could start with around 10, with around 5 extra tracks added to each station as you progress through the story, so that further into the game you're still hearing stuff that's new.

 

Then once online launches, they could perhaps release 1-3 new tracks per content update to both single player and online.

[beat-dance2]

Just create a Future House Radio and I'll be fine.
