>only game series that ever actually used it was a late 90s game with prerecorded and licensed music

Every retro soundtrack is some take on jazz fusion/prog/electronic/orchestral. At least Doom had a metal soundtrack. Why did retro devs hate loud guitar music so much?

True, but still late 90s and recorded music. No one ever pulled a Rock 'n' Roll Racing and chiptuned some Ramones songs.

Bro.. I do not agree. But thank you for the big list of loud guitar vr music, which is what I was really looking for when I made this thread.

OK so a little disappointed that out of those 20 something links almost all of them are from just 3 games. It's all in that sort of prog metal style which is all over the place in early 2000s vidya. Japanese composers just love those power metal leads paired with keys. Not really my thing unless I'm in the right mood. Also was looking more for mid 90s or earlier, preferably pre-CD era, which you only sent one example of, and it was pretty weak. Of course I didn't clarify that. Anyways that's just how I feel. Nuthin' personal, kid.

The Mega Drive soundcard definitely did a better job with making a heavy guitar tone than the SNES. .

>>8712241
This is really good. And as I said, the SNES version sounds much wimpier.

Is it me, or is American punk incredibly neutered and lame.

May as well be The Beach Boys, to me.

Mainstream? Definitely. That was the type of shit that got airplay.
Guys like GG Alin that took shits on stage and flogged themselves during performances just couldn't write mainstream music. Either through being hacks, or a lack of desire to sell out
