  1. There should be a bit more selective decisions before a soundtrack is released.

    Perhaps a soundtrack release is "locked in" to all the publicity for a film at an early stage, before the score is even written? Then, when the time comes, a label may be contractually obliged to release the album - no matter what the quality?

    to be honest i like many scores by tyler bates, but this one is not my cup of tea. maybe it works in the movie, maybe not. i haven't seen it yet. but i don't see, why we have to blame bates for that? that's what the director and producers wanted. that means every other composer had also to create/compose this kind of music/sound design. there was no chance for other music, because the filmmakers wanted no music. they wanted this aweful sound design. i don't want defend this soundtrack, but bates just did his job.


    Can all the directors he ever worked with be as clueless? 'Cause all his scores are problematic, regardless. Yeah, blame the directors....

    You are *friends* with him?

    EDIT: if he's serious (and it certainly sounds that way), I don't even know where to start on this.

    It won't even let me look at the page.
  3. well, here's the conversation, I deleted all the other facebook messages

    Bates said: For the love of God or Whatever, please stop posting photos of your sessions with orchestras and iconic pictures that should only exist in the form of true idols like Mick Jagger and Peter Gab riel. A Film composer - please. Not so much. Lets save or excitement for truly incredible events that positively effect those in need. Otherwise, go jerk off in your mirror, not my Facebook page!

    Demetris said: Well you obviously have a thing against orchestras in general wink

    and then Bates said a couple of hours later (not to Demetris) but in a new topic:

    Now I know that some you are paying attention to whatever drivel-filled rant I decide to post on this page. I'm just having a little fun... Smile.
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  4. I'm curious, did he write that himself, or did he plagarize it from other Facebook posts?


    ZING!

    I said it before ( somewhere ) and I'll say it again, composers should keep out of touching distance of fans, music NOT chat. wink

  5. Are there samples of Bate's Guardians of the Galaxy? I couldn't find any.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    D, have you had a listen to Bates' score for the 2011 film The Way?

    It's quite an introspective score; strong acoustic elements - particularly acoustic guitar - make this a bit of a departure from the usual Tyler Bates excess.

    It amazes me that you all know so much about Marvel and DC, and on top of that that you know what heroes live in which universe. I don't know at all. How can you keep them apart from each other? Also, after 10 years of superhero movies, I hope the end is near? There must be an end to this right?

  10. The same way you can tell apart Cliff Eidelman, Stephen Endelman, Randy Edelman and Danny Elfman. Familiarity!

    I wish Collins John and John Collins had played for Fulham at the same time.

    Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy tonight. What a fun film, and a great score by Tyler Bates. Really love his main theme! punk
