THAW Soundtrack - WTF?

[goatdan]

I don't know about others, but I've always been impressed with the Tony Hawk games not just for great gameplay, but also for taking some of my favorite bands and sticking their music into a game that seems to actually custom fit them. With that news, I was interested to see the track listing for THAW:

Great songs being covered by... bands that for the most part I don't think should be covering them. Seriously -- why is this game going to get cover songs sung by different bands that most of the mainstream has never heard of either the original or the new version?

Strange choice. I'm interested to see how Rise Against does with Black Flag, but beyond that I think I may avoid ever picking this up so I don't have to hear some of my favorite old-school songs mutilated.

Thursday - "Ever Fallen In Love" (Buzzcocks) .. Wha...
My Chemical Romance - "Astro Zombies" (Misfits) .. Huh?

Well, they could be good I suppose...Maybe. Perhaps. If not there's always a custom sountrack or the ancient art of "turn music down, leave SFX on and play a CD."

Wow, I love the Goldfinger, Less than Jake and other bands on Hawks... I used to turn off all the hip-hop, now I'll turn off everything!

As long as they don't have a cover of 'Paparazzi' performed by Sisqo or some crap.
