    I can see the concert program 147 years from now.

The suite is a popular work. It was acclaimed on release by one reviewer as being - 'a hell of a beast'. Tyler wrote much of his music for film, though concert goers may be more familiar with his now rarely-performed Oratorio: His Name was John Rambo. It concludes tonight's program.'

    I must say I can't see the fuss one way or another with this score. It confirms the feeling of what action music should be these days might be a nice way of saying it will be lucky if anyone actually is talking about it in 10 years, let alone 147. wink

    And that's where the comparison between the two should end. Don't insult Giacchino by comparing him to Tyler.

    Erik, who should I compare him to? Paul Haslinger? If I want to prove that Tyler's not as good, I have to pick the right names....


    Oh... Ok... because I thought you were going the other way with it. Whew!!!

  6. Demetris, I gave you my musical explanation for my problems with Tyler and you responded to it telling me of your emotional response.

    I stand by my point that AVP: R is a rehash, not a homage. If Tyler added a stronger style, it would be a homage.

    Ratatouille has many homages, even to Giacchino himself (AMAZING Underground theme installing). M:I-3 works as a better homage than a score on its own (the only parts I really like are the odd-meter version of Schifrin, the rest sadly doesn't do much for me).

    AVP: R doesn't have enough material that would make it a homage to me, because on his own, Tyler doesn't give much there.

    Pawel, that's OK, I think we understood that you arent Brian Tyler biggest fan and you explained it very well in this thread and in the Now Playing thread. wink
    But I really think it's time to move on from this subject since we are only turning over the same arguments and it looks like more and more a pissing match contest than a sane discussion.

    Just my two cents. cheesy

    AVPR movie = teh suck.

    Predalien has weird blue goo that disintegrates stuff. Uses it to get rid of bodies but never uses it as a weapon. Then skins humans just to draw attention to itself. What? confused
  11. AVPR movie sucked your brain out. Predalien is Alien with weird rastalocks. The guy who uses blue goo is an actual Predator. But maybe he disintegrates everything Alien or any human who had "contact" with an Alien to prevent humanity from cloning Aliens? Still makes sense to skin humans then.

    Believe me, I´m far away from defending this movie, but this may be the one logic hole that is actually none.

    Well in fact I think is the ONLY logic in AVP:R. The rest is a complete vomit
    At least the first one was pure fun. Too bad the good score is in the second. A least we can enjoy it as a listening experience.

    OK, don't be afraid. I'll rant quite a lot if he screws up Rambo (which I actually think he will biggrin ). But don't be afraid, that would be my last rant about him ever. If that happens, I pass on him completely.

    Don't get me wrong mate but you're so goddamn biased you'll definitely think he screwed up, no matter what.

  17. Aren't you biased too, guys? When somebody gave musical arguments, you went out emotionally. I think that's called bias too.

    The suite is the best thing I've heard from Tyler, but I really can't help thinking that it's not because of his amazing talent, but because of one of Goldsmith's best themes. Demetris, try to take my point of view here and my comparisons to Giacchino and others. Where is Tyler then? And you call comparing him to Giacchino unfair? Who should I compare Tyler to in terms of quality then? Santaloalla? Haslinger? Bates? If comparing, compare with the best. I'm trying to give arguments to my opinion and you never discuss it, because this is unfair and this is a bias.

    You never really tried to argue with my argument about the homage part. I tell you that there's not enough Tyler and you go on with the performance, which could be BTW better. Yes, better. I recently can't stop listening to Union Meeting from The Great Debaters by JNH which features a very desperate and brutal action piece in the end, I'd dare to say, performed with more emotion than anything Tyler's done in his career. I won't go with Goldenthal - another master of desperate brutality.

    So I go on so much, not to make people see Tyler is one of the best, because, and I think it's a fact, based on other composers working today, he is definitely not.

  18. Pawel, some composer get unfairly praised and defended, it's a sad matter of fact. Just try poiting out how bad Zimmer is, and watch.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  19. Not with me, Justin. You talk to a Zimmer fan biggrin

    Hmmmmm.
    It's a good TYLER action track.
    Can't say I feel any of Goldsmith's spirit (on that one cue anyway).
  26. Guys, isn't it the whole soundtrack streamed track by track?

    Anyway, it seems that Zimmer is the most influential here, but I don't hear any cheap copies. The four-chord theme is not very original for Tyler's own standards, maybe slightly Rabinesque.

    To me it's already better than AVP: R, though not without its influences. I thought there would be more Goldsmith, really, except the main theme there don't seem to be many Goldsmith homages, though some are rather intelligent - the Coplandesque brass in the beginning of the theme track is pretty cool as a homage to Goldsmith, who included Coplandesque passages in all of his Rambo scores. It *may* be Tyler's best score.
