That would be rad, it would be like 1982 all over again.

Maybe they could get thet kid with the glasses and headband thats in the arcade?????



Maybe all I want is a remake??

No, Journey's still popular.

Go to a bar and play a Journey song on the jukebox while they're busy and see what happens.

Ahh.. You beat me to it.. lol..

I was going to say, go to any bar (not a teeny bopper night club but a REAL bar) and just kick back and listen to what everyone is playing.

Rock music from the 70s-80s era doesn't die... plus considering that the era is making a comeback in this day and age....

With current Gen X and Gen Y people and teens, Journey is like ancient and passe' and does not appeal to them.

Journey's music wouldn't be appeciated or even liked about by many of them.

It's about *broad audience appeal*
Journey nowadays does not have that.
New Alternative Rock that blends Electronica music with modern Alternative Indie Rock music like "Radio Head" does, Moby does, and Depech Mode actually still does. They would "fit".

It's also about what *fits" with the vibe and aesthetics of TR2N and I'm just not seeing any Journey songs, old or new as "fitting" the film.

Addendum:
One of Tron-Sector's old members made this, doesn't anyone here remember this music video?

Wow, what's with the hate for Depeche Mode? That's harsh dude.

They are an excellent group and produced some the most phenomenal music of the 80's.

TRON.dll Wrote: Yeah, I went to some bar once and played Mr. Roboto, Renegade, 1984, and Jump. Everyone cheered at the start of each song.

I'd cheer any one of those as well. 80's music rocks. Even my kids dig a lot of it.

Um ok...
Lot's of band get or were over-played by mainstream Radio stations. I'd rather listen to any Depeche Mode album than some of the horrible aweful crap that's out now... (like My Chemical Romance...yuck..)

Listening to anything repeatedly for too long is not good and will eventually become annoying, even if the music is good. Diversivication is key.



Did you ever see this?

I could totally see "Suffer Well" or some Radio Head song as an End Credits song...

TRON.dll Wrote: ...the soundtrack for this movie could end up being a huge issue.

Nah, it's not just the music. Everything is gonna be a huge issue to us fans. From the actor selection to the acting, from the story to the plot to the effects and gabba gabba hey, every little thing about this film will be ran through the ringer.

In the end though, because we're all fanbois and girls, we're all just going to bitch about the end product. You can't fully satisfy 25+ years of dedication and anticipation.

As Chuck Palahniuk said in his excellent novel, Choke:
"Nothing is as good as our fantasies."

I just hope whoever is making it loves it as much as we do. That's all I ask.

I get it Shadow--you like Depech Mode. Congrats.
I don't. Congrats to me.

And now that that sillyness is out of the way...

My point is that I really do not think Journey or any 80's pop-music, nor any hair metal no matter if they good, would not have "broad audience appeal" either in the view of Disney, or many MTV loving, text-messaging, HALO and Gears of War obssessed spoiled kiddies that think a good movie has lot's and of random meaningless violence, explosions, bad humor, and like or love vapid celeberties.
There are some exeptions among some kiddies but not it's not a broad thing.

I cited Radio Head and Moby because they and a few very good and creative Alternative Indie rockers that blend synthaziser rythmes, beats, tunes, and back beats into their current music/songs. Heck maybe even TOOL or NIN could even pull off some sweet ass songs I think.


The musical style of some of those would "fit" IMO.
TR2N seem sleeker, more dynamic, a bit "darker", and
post-modern; if the teaser footage is indication, it's not taking place in the 80's.

So songs like "Jump", "1984", Journey songs, etc while cool songs and "popular" among *some* people,
IMO just would seem "out of place" thematically, and would probable not fit the "vibe" of TR2N in my view.

The wishes and expectitions of TRON purists, "Baby Boomers" and "children of the 80's" are somewhat unrealistic and only set themselves up to be really easily disappointed (as nothing can live up those scenerios dream up by Purists and the hard core nostalgic fans)
they have little influence over the movie producers & Disney whom *will* strive for a very *very broad* young kids, young adult to adult audience appeal.

Was there any Van Halen songs in "Iron Man" (Black Sabbath song "Iron Man" was a funny in-joke but did come off as cheesy it barely "fit" the movie)?
Was there any 80's music in Dark Knight?
Did the song "It's Raining Men play at the end of "300" ?"

I don't think there was much of any old 70's or 80's pop-music in those movies in general.
This is my 2 cents. Whatever...
