gkgyver 1,647 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 On Stranger Tides may be one big pile of shit, but "Mermaids", even though also derivative, is in my book the best theme Zimmer did for Pirates.
Richard P 5,302 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Still doesn't beat this:www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okn0WpJqgHEDear god, that's horrible.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 From the Golden Age of Zimmer, before he sold out.
Quintus 6,494 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 On Stranger Tides may be one big pile of shit, but "Mermaids", even though also derivative, is in my book the best theme Zimmer did for Pirates.I likes his Davy Jones organ theme. Only thing I can remember.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Interesting interview with Hans and the legendary Junkie XL, mostly talking about the state of electronic music.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 You cant recall He's A Pirate?
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Hans is going on tour.http://collider.com/hans-zimmer-concert-london/
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 No, he's playing a show for two nights in one location.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I was just editorializing a bit!
Richard P 5,302 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Hah, he can't even do a concert without minions Obviously it's all in the name of PR. I just wish he'd present his music... just him.

I just wish he'd present his music... just him.So you just want him to go on stage and hit a play button? Or did you expect him to conduct an orchestra like WIlliams? I'm confused as to what you were expecting. SafeUnderHill 1

I'm confused as to what you were expecting.Conducting an orchestra would be nice.More to the point, I wish he wouldn't base the PR around all the 'special guests' he's bringing. I really don't care about those.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Frankly I vastly prefer him at the keyboard, actively participating in the music, to him doing a quasi-conducting arm waving thing. You know, the kind of thing that is actually his element/relevant to his style of musicianship.
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Oh, what I would give for a version of "The Electro Suite" with that damn ludicrous chant replaced by strings and the dubstep-ish electronica replaced by overdriven guitars.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Yeah. That stuff was very un-Dude.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Zimmer doesnt use ghostwriters. He credits everyone who composes additional music.
crocodile 9,724 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Yeah. That stuff was very un-Dude.I reckon this score was written with younger generation in mind. As such, I appreciate all its self-serving quirks.Karol

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Shirley Walker makes an obscene gesture to Hans. It would have been unseemly not to immortalize this in gif form.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 A brief snippet from Zimmer on the music industry.

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Classic Williams method of transforming and extending an existing musical snippet into something else. indy4 1
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Hey, I'm not complaining. I actually think it's pretty neat.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Oh I agree, and I wasn't trying to be a nudge - it really is a very Williamsy thing to do, whether or not some folks can admit it. I've got no issue with it.
Jay 46,242 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I LOLed when Zimmer showed up in the middle of Pharell's performance of Happy last night
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 This is simply amazing stuff, it might easily become among my top favorite of Hansy's work -and Badelt for that matterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR6rpW_ucbMAnyone know if the movie is any good? I know is Herzog, but sometimes he's hit and miss with his commercial films, unlike his documentaries, which so far I've adored all the ones that I've seen.
gkgyver 1,647 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Towards the end, these assholes make it sound like doing film music concerts without showing the film is a major new concept. Especially the guy who says he wants to hear film music within the film, but Zimmer, oooooh, that's something completely different!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 So his can be a dick and whine about it!
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 7 years and 15 pages, I guess some people have a misguided appreciation for him.
gkgyver 1,647 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Because I have a vague hope that someday, something will come from Zimmer's mouth or computer that is of vague integrity without bullshit.
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Why in the hell does this not have an album release?
Xander Harris 9,674 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 It should have a 6 disc Limited Ultimate Collector's Edition..?
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Why in the hell does this not have an album release?Good question.
