Talk:Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack

message: To TBH: As of 2006, this article is the only quality source of information on production detail. I, for example, found the Moving Shadow 01.1 CD through here (original music from MSX). A lot of effort went into collecting and verifying bits and pieces. Surely, the page is a little cluttered at this moment. But wiping out half of the article is not the solution. We don't necessarily have to conform with other soundtrack articles. As far as I can tell, Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack is most informative one of the bunch. Matveims 04:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production Details - or not? 

message: I think the page looks a little too cluttered currently. Perhaps the songs could be one one bullet point, then a line below (intented--starts with a :), text about the song could be in parentheses.
Look at this example:
*Artist Name - Song Name
:Information about song (producer, etc. 
makes
*Artist Name - Song Name
:Information about song (producer, etc.
I think the page can be re-worked a little. I'll do some work this coming week after finals are over
Any thoughts?
:Well, the reason I set it out that way was so the page wasn't a direct lift from the manual - the changes you are proposing would really take it back to the layout of the manual. However, I do agree with you that your method would look a lot tidier. I'm not fussed either way, but if you decide to go ahead with it, that would be a great help. Rock on.

replies: text: Understandably so, and with your blessing, I shall remake the article, one section at a time. Thanks so much for your help, mysekurity 18:30, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Very good work! Especially the economy of space you provided by having 'written by Craig Conner unless otherwise noted' - that's a great idea. But you linked the fake bands!!! It's just a silly mistake, I'll quickly change that. Hope you understand my logic that a bunch of fictitious bands don't deserve pages to themselves. Maybe if anything interesting is found out about them (eg who they are parodying) we can add it below the track listings, but I don't think they should have their own pages.

replies: text: Sorry, thanks for the compliment, and good point. Aren't Da Shootaz a real group? One more thing tho, where did you get all the us in Double Cleff from? I'm looking at my manual, and dont see any us…maybe a couple es, but no us. Or are they different because you have an English version?? - mysekurity 20:56, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Da Shootaz aren't real, I don't think. I've done countless web searches for them but they don't seem to exist anywhere except on GTA soundtracks, and besides, the song is written and produced by Craig Conner, so... And good point about the u's - basically, I don't know much about orchestras, but I do know that 'u' means 'under' as in 'conducted by'. I now realise that not many people would know that (it's only luck that I do!) so I will get onto changing the 'u's into 'conducted by'. Dragonfly888 18:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the searches on da shootaz, and its too bad they aren't real, I kinda liked that song. What I'm more concerned about, however, is that maybe there's a difference in our manuals? I looked through mine, and it said "[song] e [something else]". I'm guessing it's different in the U.K.? I'll do some research when I get back (I'm on vacation for the next week or so), and I'll update it then, as well as reorg this talk page (it's getting kind of unruly). Thanks much for all the help, mysekurity 19:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that song kicks ass. And don't worry, there isn't a difference in our manuals, I was just trying to be clever and save space by putting 'u' instead of 'conducted by'. I don't know what all the 'e's are about, or really anything else about orchestras. Maybe there's something about it on the Orchestra article? I'll have a look at it. And yeah, this talk page needs reorganising, it's almost as big as the main article. Dragonfly888 19:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Do you believe that Michael Hunt, the DJ of Head Radio is based on the joke from Porky's and other places? (Michael Hunt >> Mike Hunt >> My Cunt)?? Or do I just have a dirty mind? (I'm not ruling out the latter). Is there something perhaps referenced for the reason this name was chosen? Any thoughts would be helpful. -mysekurity 02:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You may indeed have a dirty mind, but judging by the fact that the makers of the GTA games seem to think just as dirty, you're probably right. Staying with Head Radio, a more obvious one (that I didn't understand for ages - then I said it out loud and got it) is Dil-don't. Dil-do perhaps? Dragonfly888 20:39, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

message: In trying to disambiguate the links to Rush in Game Radio FM I've run into a dead-end. I can't find ANY information on the apparent rap/hip-hop artist "Rush" except that it might be Russell Simmons.
It certainly is not the Canadian power trio.
Anybody have a clue?
Al 15:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ugh. It looks like every couple of weeks somebody tries to disambiguate Rush on the GTA3 soundtrack as being the guys from Canada. Let me assure you that this is not so. I'm not "up" on the hip-hop scene, so I don't know who this other "Rush" guy is, but I know for certain that it's not Rush (band). Read the talk page, folks. Al 17:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  red links everywhere!!! 

message: It is generally agreed that the soundtrack for GTAIII sounds very generic and cheap, as if they didn't have much money to spend on "real" artists. The main novelty to it was exactly that, having radio stations you could flick to each with a different theme. The fact that it is famous for the funny DJ lines and not the music itself is a testament to this fact. Thank you JayKeaton 09:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The Jeff Berlin mentioned as a talent in the Commercials section is a voiceover and production artist, formerly with WXKS-FM in Boston, and not the bass guitar player the article seems to link him to.  We may want to either clear that link, or create a new page and a disambiguation.  
He also is the main image voice for Head Radio in the game, if that's relevant to anyone.
Out of respect for the article and what you all have done with it, and because I haven't registered, I won't edit it myself.
:Please feel free to! You know a lot more about Jeff Berlin than me, which means you're more qualified than me to write about him! Hey, it's a wiki, have fun! Dragonfly888 12:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Please, don't say and remark that the only way of listening the soundtrack is by hijacking a vehicle and listening the radio.
You can also insert the game's DVD on the PC and then getting to the audio folder. There you'll find a bunch of .wav 's, most of them are for ambient sounds. But 9 of them (the biggest) are from the radio stations, which are CLASS, MSX, FLASH, CHAT, LIPS, GAME, HEAD, KJAH and RISE.
This can be also done with the PC version by getting to the instalation folder (commonly C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTAII\) ans searching the folder "audio".
Hell, you can even add them to your iTunes library and add them to an iPod.
I don't know if it is legal, but I legally own Vice City's and San Andreas' sountracks, so I would want an original CD of this one.
