Video Game Songs for Rock Band

[EatMoreBread]

Since Harmonix announced awhile back that they were interested in focusing on some video game music, here are a couple of songs that I think should make the cut. Feel free to add music you think you work on Rock Band!

1. One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children)
This remixed song of the final boss battle in Final Fantasy VII that appears in the movie is a heavy metal take on a legendary video game song. The rock section starts at about 40 sec in.(Listen To It) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=B_MW65XxS7s)

2. Hangarmageddon (Doom, e1m1) (Listen To It) (http://doom.herograw.net/The%20Dark%20Side%20of%20Phobos/Disk%20One%20-%20Phobos/DSoP_01_Hangarmageddon(E1M1).mp3)
A group of dedicated and musically-inclined Doom fans put together their own free 2-disc album that consists of their favorite music from the ID Software video game, remixed! ( http://doom.ocremix.org/media.html (http://doom.ocremix.org/media.html)) Hangarmageddon, while it lacks any lyrics, is Doom's signature song, and is instantly recognizable by any Doom fan. It's hard rock take is perfect for Rock Band.

One video game song to rock them all:

1. Hell March - Command and Conquer: Red Alert Soundtrack - Frank Klepacki

[EatMoreBread]

Hell. Yes.

Good call, I missed that one.

I wouldn't mind this:

If it actually is something they're seriously considering, I'd highly recommend they take a look at Swedish band Game Over. (http://www.nintendometal.com/) Artistic heavy renditions of classic video game tracks, complete with vocals, pretty much perfect for Rock Band. Their takes on Mega Man 2 and Castlevania are to die for.

This would be awesome: Contra (also the band Vomitron has an awesome medley of all the contra themes)

This would be awesome: Guile Theme, Street Fighter 2

And this would be the best: Battletoad in Battlemaniacs , bonus stage 1

[Rock_Starman]

I voted no but I would get the end song of Armed & Dangerous since I doubt anyone's actually played the game here it is:

The problem with that is the band doesn't own the rights to the song which might create licensing issues.

[Bonez]

Personally, I LOVE the music from the Hitman series, however I think I'm gonna have to wait for Orchestra Hero to play that stuff.

[MrZeebub]

If they could license that stuff, hell yes.

Also Game Over is excellent.
