RC Prodigy

I don't think something like this has been posted before so here goes

I wanted to list the top five songs that I thought that would be excellent for R/C videos:



1. "My Favorite Game" by The Cardigans

2. "Good Times" by Finger Eleven (I think the SMF guys used it in one of their vids)

3. "You Will be Under my Wheels" by The Prodigy

4. "Give Me More" by Apartment 26

5. "Suck it up" by (hed) PE





Those are my favs. What are yours?

B4-jumper-X

give it all by rise against or that sweet korn song when the guy's like BOONG in the middle..

RC Prodigy

Heh, I know the song you're talking about

I guess no one wants to discuss music besides me and jumper.[&o]

DebianDog

There is a billion good songs... But since you like The Prodigy - Narayan

PillowPants

i was thinking more along the lines of kenny G and neil diamond!
haha just kiddin.

Slipknot-liberate
OZZY- crazy train
a perfect circle- passive
my chemical romance- helena
anything incubus.

I think anything hard rock, heavy metal, or even some alternative is good. As long as it rocks and has some energy, it's a good choice.

I think that anything rap, r&b, pop, country, gospel, or just plain depressing, is a bad choice.

slipnot - duality

rage against the machine - bombtrack, take the power back, killling in the name.... all of these would be really good! But id love a solid bash video with bombtrack

ICrashThings

Play that funky music white boy - Beeeee Geeeees 4 lyfe!!!!!

My Feedback: (1)

I agree partially with jefx. Because I couldnt imagine listening to r&b on a rc video (its good for just chillin with my girl) but not that great for watching someboyd shoot a car off a building or something but I love rap music and it seems to go along perfectly with my videos and I hardly ever listen to the music that people have in their videos because its rock music and that stuff gives me a headache [&:]. I think that rc videos go great along with rock/rap (like that jay-z and some rock band combined that was on mtv which was straight crack in the flesh) or just pure rap. I agree that most videos are good for rock like the crazy ones that some people make *cough* smf, beaverstick, etc.*cough* but every video I made just works with the rap songs I put on there because it just flows along with the beat.

My top 5 (in no particular order):

1. Fat Joe-Safe to say the incredibles
2. Clipse-any of their songs that have nice beats
3. Big Tymers-90% of their songs are about cars so that goes good.
4 and 5: Rap instrumentals that have good beats!

Cummins

Jeez, all you guys like metal or rap (except ICrashThings, who has the closest thing to a decent sence of music displayed here).

Heres my pick:

1) S Club 7 - Reach up for the stars (for all the vids with HUGE jumps in! )
2) Fats Waller - 'Aint Misbehavin
3) Count Basie - Any of his stuff, it's all good!
4) Queen - Behemean Rapshody (spelling?).
5) Unknown - The Chicken (great funk song, and no, it's no the funky chicken before you ask! )

speenair

S club 7???? Wut is wrong with you.

Screamo is where its at for vids. Try Demon Hunter, haste the day, agony scene, the chariot, underoath, ot killswitch engage.

paul5150

how about some bob marley mon?

or Van Halen "panama"

My Feedback: (4)

man thats a really hard topic to say a certain top 5 because it really depends on the videos content. for crawling i would prolyl want something a bit slower and for on-road, something that hit hard. so i guess ill just list the ones i have used in r/c and other music vids that i thought worked good.

so here they are in no particular order:

Breaking the Habbit - Linkin Park

Forgot about Dre - Emminem and Dr. Dre

How High - Method Man and Redman Ft. Tony Braxton

Headtrong - Trapt

Same Direction - Hoobastank

those are prolly the top 5 as of now from what ive done, but as i said before, it really depends on the video. IMO each video is unique and requires different music for the perfect match in mood, tempo, and excitement.

PillowPants

I myself would prefer the WIGGLES over screamo...

Cummins

Ha Ha, thought that would get some replies... But seriously, S Club Seven Rule! I'm just gonna go and shut up now...

CapUSA

I think the music should go with the videos. maybe even pick the music before editing the vid to get the best effect. almost every genre would be good with a certain video type.

alternative=fast paced race video
heavy metal=bash video
rap=slow drifting vid
classic rock=good overall.
There are plenty more but these are the ones that come to mind right now. I don't know where oldies or countrywould fit in, though.

iceghost

the offspring - all i want is one of the best songs ever! Sum41- no reason. Offspring- Staring at the sun

Pigsmightfly

Skrewdriver are good for getting the adrenaline pumping.

cetme308

Would like to see less death metal and more punk or trance. Having a guy screaming while watching a toy isnt exactly a perfect fit. [&:]

Oh well, I still like the vids.

Ahab

CapUSA has the right idea. the music should suit the style of the vid, not just your fave song over the top of some cars driving round - dont be afraid to raid your parents music collection if the vibe suits!

as for Country - I think a good bit of hick Ho-Down "Chase Music" all twiddly diddly and s&&& would work very well for a muddy bash vid with a '30s panel truck....

....Van Halens Jump literaly just came on the radio, I am sure someone will edit a bash/jump vid to that sooner or later (it might even be me!)

I also want to put together one with "Just a Man who Drank too much" by the Cosmic Psychos in a tribute to the classic MTB vid Mud Cows.!!


Heres a question for this thread though....

Should RC Vids have the engine sound on them? Do we need a constant nitro whine whilst watching the vid?




Personaly the engine note gets annoying if there alll the way through, but I am not against a little bit of it here and there.

hyper701

i can just see a buggy flyin through the air or rippin **** up with mudvain-dig or staticx-push it playin in the background

dubby

Spot on choice !!!

CapUSA

As you can see by my signature, The band that gos good with everything has to be Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.j/k

Cummins
