---

The song is reflected by the use of a gritty tone, and rock/funk-inspired variation!I really appreciate that

Yea. It was really geared towards the younger viewers, at the time(like me). I really liked it for its innovation of the original theme song.

It had that AM radio voice effect that was very popular at the time, expecially with Rob Zombie. I still enjoy listening to it for the pack start up sound.

It was ExTREEEEEME....to the max! Nah I do appreciate it. Kinda how you'd want a GB3 version to sound. Updated but still derived enough from the original to be recognizable.

Indeed. If they did a GB3 I'd like a renovated theme. If that can't be done then stick with the classic RPJ theme. I've heard a lot of covers since i joined the GB can community and I gotta say that there's some good ones out there. I wouldn't be surprised if one was chosen.

And yea. its cool to hear the pack power up when the theme is going. Sad thing is, is that I've listened to that so much on my iPod that I'm kinda annoyed by that now. Good thing I've added the OST's to the list since then.

Ive recently gotten mad at myself cause a couple years back I was on ebay lookin up random ghostbusters stuff and someone was selling a disc cut to the shape of the no ghost logo and apparently the disc had a recording of the whole egb theme uncut. havent seen anything like it since. Also, found a website that belongs to the guy who did all of the background music for egb as well.http://jimlatham.filmmusic.com/. Go to audio clips.

Nice. Thats a great find there! Too bad you didn't get the disk. No use crying over spilled milk. Hopefully when the series comes out on DVD they'll have the full theme as an extra bonus.

Although it isn't my favorite version of the song, I'm going to have to agree that it is pretty damn good. Hopefully my band will make a version of it.... when I get my band back.

What happened? Loose your bavarian band?

Man that EGB theme song is the pudding.

Yes....that song is the pudding. Chocolate even! *Walks away whistling like nothing happened here* The topic did stray a little, probably could have split it off but meh. Back on course I suppose. I admit I got a bit off too. The whole Winston thing could sadly be argued until the end of time. Apologies to brawl.

ahh, glad this was sorted.

I do remember when the theme music would start, the proton pack starting up mixed in with the music. send little shivers down my little back. Still does.

Yea. That was awesome how they got the pack powering up, the pke turning on and other effects in the theme.

I wish there was a longer version of the theme somewhere.

Yea. That'd be nice if there was a full version of the theme song. I don't know if there is tho. You'd have to ask around.

*There's longer versions of the song in some of the end credits I believe, and in at least one of the promos...Maybe someone could "mash-up" a full version? ...

*Cheers.

That's what I was thinking. I wish I was good at music editing.

Yea. Sometimes they had a bit of an extended version but mostly they just had that haunting ending theme.

That extension had cool lyrics too:

When the things that slither in the shadows
Keep you up late at night
When there's something lurking in your closet
who can make you feel alright?


Then something about:
"We're the ones you turn to
(something something)
We're the ones who (something)
JUST CALL THE X G B!!"

It was pretty cool though. Definitely a fitting revamp. Done with respect to the times and the GB legacy. It added to what was already there, did it in good taste, and stayed classy. I wonder, if they revamped the song for GB 2 (run DMC) and for XGB, would the pattern continue for a GB3?

It would be cool if they did a Revamp for GB3. IF they do a GB3.

speaking of the EGB theme, there's a video on YouTube of the credits, but someone made a remix of the theme with Nine Inch Nails' "The Hand That Feeds". it actually turned out pretty kick-ass! i wanted to download it, it has a link, but you have to join a website to get it. idk if u have to pay or not, so thats the only bummer to it.

Do you have a link to the YouTube video and the song?

I love this version of the song... when the guitars kick in near the end when they're gearing up... I REALLY wish I could find a full, effects-clean version of the song.

If anyone has that version of the song or knows of it on youtube you can post it here.

You can download the EGB theme here.

Its not the extended. Its from the opening credits.

Love this so kick ass anyone got an mp3 copy to send to my email so i play on my Ipod?

Thanks

I've never been a huge fan of the EGB song. *ducks for cover*

I guess the original is such a memorable song, I don't like it being toyed with that much. That's not to say I hate the EGB version, it's just not as good as the original, imho.

Look up three posts

It had it's merits as a cover, but the vocals are horrible - does anyone really need reminding of nu-metal? kurt died for this? etc.

The incidental music from the series was fantastic, though! some really bernstein-esque touches in there.

I can sing the Extreme Ghostbusters theme without the lyrics or the video itself. I'm too hooked on it. Lol. ^^.
