Post up some of the tabs for the songs on UAW bro. I wanna play some of that stuff. What tuning is it your guitar? Im on standard. Sometimes drop a half note down.

[Frank Klepacki-PG]

I'll see what I can do for a couple tunes when I get some free time (no guarantees when that will be)

As far as tunings, I use a few different ones, standard, low E to drop D, and then the whole guitar tuned down a whole step and the low D in drop C!

The Hierarchy demanded it so I had no choice.

Hi Frank, I wanna tell you I've been playing UAW demo and got really amazed because of your music, it's fu***** heavy! Very cool music!
BTW, good that in the demo I've not heard nu-metal crap so common in these days...
You rock man!!!!

[Auron_Kast]

While you're at it I'd like some "lyrics" to the Masari choirs. And I wouldn't mind scores for Novus Songs either. =P
I'd like to state this is the best set of songs in a game I've seen in a very very long time!

[Oom Gert]

Frank your music as AMAZING! I'm playing UAW and I haven't enjoyed  ingame music like that since Red Alert 2! Till to today I still listen to the old school C&C scores in my car! Keep up the work!!!

It may be like the Hell March lyrics, just a sound bite that Frank utilised in it, thank God the HM lyrics didnt turn out bad for the theme of song it was made for, but something tells me that we could, just could be disappointed about what the lyrics to the Masari choirs actually mean.

Or we could be quite entertained...

[Sean_Seanston]

Hell March's lyrics are "We want war... wake up!" right? I seem to remember that being said before. The lyrics are pretty muffled though

Anyway, while we're talking about lyrics...

What do they say in Grinder from Red Alert 2? It seems to be something in Russian...

Wiki seyz:

"Originally intended for use with the Brotherhood of Nod, it features militaristic samples—including marching, industrial sounds, and a commander shouting what sounded like "we want war, wake up!"—but actually a German drill instructor shouting "Die Waffen – legt an!", roughly translated as "Ready weapons!". "

I'll leave it up to you to judge the reliability of that...

Dunno.... maybe PM Klepacki about it?




EDIT: nevermind. I am extremely free right now so I PM'd him for you. When he replies I'll update here accordingly.

So apparently he doesn't know either so Sean the mystery will haunt you all your life. case closed.

I see...

It sure is some brilliant unintelligible ramblings though, eh?

[White Wolf Reborn]

finally, i understand what is being spoken in Hell March

now, if only I can get the lyrics ofr (?) Times (ending song for Nod, original C&C)

wow, the K man frequents the forums. no surprise! and i thought it was a great accomplishment to have Mr. Gooch visit the Reborn boards at one time (he's vanished...probably busy working on awesomeness)

[Auron_Kast]

Actually the lyrics for "Destructible Times" aren't that hard to find. I can't find anything better at the moment, but here you go -
I had more correct lyrics once but don't know where they are maybe I'll look better for it on google later

Here are the official lyrics to "? Times" so there is no question:


Fire and Riots are written on pages of lies
Armies of hatred that no longer have civil rights

Yeah I, I live off the feeding of lies
And I, I live in destructable times

Oh can’t you hold a candle in the wind and see that times are changing

Run through the churches, exorcise all of the brothers
Holy hostage church bound to their mothers

Yeah I, corrupted and ravaged her mind
And I, I live in destructable times

Oh can’t you hold a candle in the wind and see that times are changing

Changing

I looked around but it never came easy, I think I wasted my time
I thing I’ll live my life a bit fuller before I die

[rorirub]

I have a soundtrack related question: Will the UAW soundtrack get a cd (or FLAC download) release? I want to listen to the tracks in full quality. 160k is sacrilege for such awesome music.

[RaiDK]

TBH I can't pick the difference between 128k and anything higher O_o

Agreed.

IMO, anything higher than 128k is just for audio nerds

Like vinyl!

[GeNeRaLVoN]

Were you able to post the guitar tabs Frank? Im still waiting
Hope you didn't forget

boss, you've certainly done your research

this is a very fitting song for the Brotherhood of Nod.

seeing as how Nod found themselves to be the oppressed outcasts and vagrants of modern society, it's no surprise they chose to cast their hatred out on the upper echelon of the more wealthy superpowers, whom Nod believed were too complacent and corrupt to provide them a fair shot at living a successful life. With the doctrines of the world community "written on pages of lies," Nod chose to revolt through violence, "riots" and flame, "fires" cast against their enemies (however, the iconic flamethrower and flame tank used to "burn the infidel" are more of symbolic items in my opinion rather than effective military weapons -seeing as how the low armor makes them too weak to sustain themselves in battle)

however, despite Nod claiming that they were being abused and lied to by the world superpowers, it was Nod who excelled at using propaganda, "living off the feeding of lies," to influence the populous and to keep their own troops in line (we remember Byelistok and its fiasco). So, lies and warfare were the common times of the Brotherhood, the "destructible" times

and indeed, Nod hoped to usher in the winds of change, to bring down the world superpower communities and install a world order all their own. it would be a global revolution which would start in europe and africa

secondly, the followers of Nod seemed to accept Kane as a god and the followership of Nod as a religion, denouncing all other forms of religion, targeting clergymen and civilian nonbelievers, those who refused to acknowledge Kane as god, "running through the churches, exorcising all of the brothers." perhaps nod may have even kidnapped children and brought them up as nod-indoctrinated children so as to further the belief system of kane as being god in the youth, almost like the Hitler Youth, holding children considered "holy hostage," in a "church bound to their mothers," their new Nod mothers and masters. perhaps these children may have even been raised by Raveshaw himself to instill a zealous followership

however, Kane, and the belief system of Nod, did in fact, "corrupt and ravage" the minds of many, including his own people, perhaps even the minds of Mother Earth, and the division over who to follow and over tiberium led to a very destructive war, costing millions of military and civilian lives. however, Nod was determined to usher in change at any price

yet, this change would not come easy. it would take years, perhaps decades without warfare in order to bring about a swift installment of a new world order, and kane knew this. yet, with the defeat of the brotherhood, and nod's hope of installing themselves as the new world order vanished along with kane, perhaps Nod did "waste their time," and the survivors and those who escaped GDI prosecution by UN war crimes tribunals would have to consider "living their lives a bit fuller before they died"

...yes, I do think about this...alot. thank you to 1,050+ 1/4-inch margin pages of ideas for my Command & Conquer writing
