US Gran Turismo 4 intro

bradymiller
No way man, the intro is great...sounds like some of us need a lesson in some classic rock and roll appreciation!
*do you remember the gt3 intro? Lenny Kravitz? Lenny Kravitz?!?!?
You gotta at least say that van halen beats the crap out of lenny kravitz.
(and it could have been some kind of japanese rock...at the worst)
rock on, it's only a matter of days now...

Ah man you took what I was going to say. MUCH MUCH better than Lenny Kravitz. Much.

Hey, it could have been ALOT worse, they could have used a song by Van Halen from the mid 90's when Eddie wasn't in the band for a little bit. (shrugs)
Offtopic: When was eddie out of VH? Never heard that. Just curious, not flaming.
 
What are you guys talking about? I thought it would be some crappy techno crap by the way you guys were talking, but it's PANAMA by VAN HALEN! Some of you guys have no taste in music (guess it's just an 80's thing).

No one's saying it's a bad song... it just doesn't fit with the video of Gran Turismo 4, is all.

But as soon as the vocals get to the good part they just run the chorus then cut it off.

Well, how do you determing if a song "fits" with a game, exactly? I guess it all comes down to personal preference. Personally, I love it (but I love most 80's rock, anyway, so I may be a bit biased) :)
[sarcasm]Only other way to top this would be Billy Idol, no doubt about it[/sarcasm] :P
 
I just watched the intro. That is great. It's kinda reminds me of metallica battery, a nice soothing song to get you in the mood, and then kicks in with a little rocking song. Come to think of it, Battery would've been a great selection for the intro also. Sorry to the younguns that don't remember 1984, but that was a big album back in the day.
 
Well sometimes you just know the song doesn't work, like you expect to be listening to "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire in a Mortal Kombat intro.
 
The intro looks fine to me. Since I've already seen, I hope that I'll be able to skip it with the start button when I finally get my copy of GT4 nestled snugly inside my very own PS2.

I'm not gonna skip it, that'll get me worked up to play. Man that Ford GT is hot..
 
Cool vid! Wouldn't mind that on the European release. I thought America would appreciate one of their greatest rock bands ever on the soundtack!
 
MOST AWESOME INTRO EVER!

"Panama" by Van Halen A song about a race car called "The Panama."

Jump back, what's that sound ?
Here she comes, full blast and top down.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue.
Model citizen zero discipline
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'l lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine.
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue,
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom.
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'll lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight.
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it.
Ah, you reach down, between my legs,
ease the seat back.
She's blinding, I'm flying,
Right behind the rear-view mirror now.
Got the feeling, power steering,
Pistons popping, ain't no stopping now!
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama

You know how some of us Americans are, we'd knife our own kin just because we were unhappy.

IMO, it's not bad, kind like some of the shots being longer but I really like Japans the best of the 2.
 
GT1 was still the best intro in my book...when you see the Gt sign coming togheter and the big VROOOM it makes me drool EVERY single time I watch it.
 
my god that is the worst use of a song for an intro ever!!! the vid is fine....more than fine, the best, but please that song is so wrong!! i just hope we don't get that for the PAL release.
 
Stupid kids, that song is a great choice. How can you say it doesn't "fit". Look at these matched up sequences:

Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue. ::'69 Corvette bombs by::
Model citizen ::Benz CLK Touring car, how much more model citizen is that::
zero discipline ::Ford GT and Nissan R92CP go spinning by::

It's good there are more songs about racing in the game and that's a great one to start with.

Excellent post. You just saved me the trouble of saying it.

MOST AWESOME INTRO EVER!

"Panama" by Van Halen A song about a race car called "The Panama."
"Lyrics"


See I knew it was you! KY must have read your signature!

Although if anyone has no problem with that intro (mainly the opera part) they haven't seen the Japanese one.

*watches again skipping the operatic part*
 
99 Red Balloons (cover) by Goldfinger, Rusty Cage by Soundgarden, Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue, or Maybe some Megadeth would be better in my own opinion. That Panama is a good song - even a good song to have IN the game, but just not a good song to go with that specific movie.

Of course i may just be a "stupid kid" :)
 
the japanese music was the track where it was like that synthed guitarish thing, right? and it was like "We need something exciting, we need something exciting...(repeat repeat)....please game, please game, please game.....we need something exciting, please game.)

something like that. i have a trailer with that music, and was just wondering if that was the actual music/intro.

good god this was a vague post.
