I do a lot of videos, mixing sound and video clips from various sources...

the music must match the video.. you can have a real cool song but if the video dont "walk the beat" with the song it wont "fit".

Anyway, "Goodbye Blue Sky" from Pink Floyd would fit quite nicely into any buff/fighter intercept video hehehe.

No no no  

You boys are all too modern.

"Charge of the Valkyries", Wagner

Remember the tune from Apocalypse Now, when they attacked the beach in the Helicopters?

Actually, it's "Ride of the Valkyries", but I do agree it would make an excellent theme song.

Valkyries were Oden's hand maidens who would ride ahead of the troops in battle deciding whom amongst them would die.

Iron Maiden, "Aces High" could work for just quick burst of action.  Show a group of Spits taking off from a Runway, climbing up, and then they meet 109s and 190s and we see a twisting turning dogfight.  Could Rock.  WOuld probably bring in Younger players too.

I belive HT said his target audience was like 25 to 55 so the Younger Portion could probably dig Aces High the 40 to 55 folks may not. (I am 36 and like Iron Maiden.)

I think the folks who watch "The History Channel" are more toward that 40 to 55 portion of the Age scale, but I couldn't swear to it.  Anyhow I don't see the dynamic there.  Plus HT would have to get Permission from Iron Maiden, and although they may go for it, once they see the Game, I think they would want more than HT would be willing to Shell out. (Remember Bill Gates gave the Rolling Stones $14,000,000 for the rights to use "Start Me Up.")

"Also Sprach Zarathusa," the "2001" music could be used, and I believe lends itself to 30 sec increments.

How about "The 1812" overature?

Pink Floyd "Learnig to Fly," or "Dogs of War."

Sammy Hagar "Heavy Metal," or "Where Eagles Fly."

George Thouroughgood and the Deleware Destroyers "Bad to the Bone."

Sweet, "Ballroom Blitz."

Accept "Balls to the Wall."

Axe "Knock Down Drag Out Rock-n-Roll Party In the Streets."

Uriah Heep "Stealing."

Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight."

Damn Yankees "High Enough."

Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly."

Jimmy Hendrix "Red House," (I just love that song) or "Little Wings." the Stevie Ray Vaughn Version has no vocals.

Metallica "One," or "Hero of the Day."

Queen "We Will Rock You," or "We Are the Champions."

Puff Daddy Featuring Jimmy Page Come with me from the Godzilla Soundtrack.

Steve Miller "Fly Like an Eagle."

Pachelbel "Canon in D Major."

"Gary Owen" Drum and Fife I had a Civil War Northern Re-enactor band doing this in fife and drum, but my dad obsconded with it, and I haven't gotten it back.  If you have ever seen little big man, it is the tune the 7th Calvary Band is playing during the recreation of the "Wahshedah River Masacare."  Twas Custer's favorite piece of marshall music, and I admit to a fondness to it, though I am not fond of killing Native Americans.

Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy."

The Blues Brothers w/The Blue Brothers Band (Featuring Matt "Guitar" Murphy) "B-Movie Boxcar Blues."

Obviously some of these have nothing to do with flying, but they are cool.

"Learning to Fly" and "Free Falling" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Chorus to "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Learning to fly,
but I ain't got wings,
Falling down,
Is the hardest thing.


I can see countless instances where this would apply in AH.

I suppose it's all about what kind of action you're going to have.

Just watched "The Watcher" last night, and they had an awesome chase scene with a custom mix of "Dragula" by the Zombie man himself.  The beat accented the action perfectly.  Really heightened the experience.

I was actually thinking of the Memphis Belle's version of "Amazing Grace" with the flute n' all, while the bombers are taking off.  Then fade to another airfield with fighters taking off (still playing the same scene).  Some more string work from Memphis Belle as the LW takes off, fade to the meeting, and start up with "Symphony of Destruction" and just show the first merge then fade out.

Big white words across a black screen:
"Are you ready?"

Just an idea

Looks like you guys have this one pretty well figured out.
Just want to add one song. If the scene is of a plane going down in fire. Then Johnny Cash's song "Ring of Fire" would be perfect.
