Need your help in making the next Stormtrooper video. Was going to keep hush about it until it was released but am having trouble thinking of a good tune that has electric guitars in it. Will be getting hold of an electric guitar and heading to Shibuya or Shinjuku to film "Guitar Trooper" soon and would like your suggestions of what track I should use? Was thinking of Van Halens "Jump" but there seems to be more synthesizers than electric guitars in that. Most popular video up until now was Shibuya Dance Trooper below.

Just one thing to say, if it Dethklok it has to be Thunder Horse, that song rift on the guitar is just too good(IMO, atleast). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BtY8fGvDqU&feature=related

try any of the Dragonforce songs, lots of guitar action
(ID #207135) Posted on 2008/06/08 04:07
Seconding this if only because it's popular with the target demographic. Personally I'd love to hear any of the various rock/metal covers of various Castlevania/Megaman/etc songs that are out there, but I don't see this as a realistic expectation.

I'm not sure what kind of tune you're looking for but I'm gonna recommend you my fav band, Asian Kung Fu Generation. see http://ajikan.24ji.net/ for videos and audios. They did an songs for the OPs (or EDs) for Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist.

If you were thinking Van Halen and guitar, maybe go Panama instead? Otherwise, I'd go with Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult (I mean, it IS Tokyo, lol) or Hell's Bells by AC/DC (on the subject of AC/DC, Back in Black would be awesome for a Darth Vader video)

ummm NICE MOVES DANNY LOL!! i thought Danny was going crazy 00:30 LOL!! i don't know but i'd recommend "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin ^^
(ID #207218) Posted on 2008/06/08 05:54
Jump is a classic, and you don't necessarily need synthesisers, just put and effect on your guitar amp to try get the right sound. Or feed it through an FX pedal. and btw NO! NO RICK ASTLEY!

Van Halen - Eruption (not much of a melody but a 1,5 minute kickass impro) Rush - Working man or maybe something from rage against the machine

I like some of the songs here, but I disagree with Aya (though God knows is a really good song). The problem is that if Danny really wants to do a guitar video, he wouldn't be really able to pull off some impressive moves to such a song. If he really wants to go all out, he should seriously consider something hard/old school or perhaps even into the metal/heavy side of things. Danny, if you're gonna want to do a guitar trooper video, I'm only going to presume that you're not actually going to play guitar and are therefor choreographing it. If so, you should do something like Thunderstruck ==Metal (prog/heavy/melodic death etc)== A Perfect Circle: Judith (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23eZMdixAuk) Night Wish: Tenth Man Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxfzGE6htfk) Metallica: Seek and Destroy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUoWZ_zcPpE_) In Flames: Trigger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUoWZ_zcPpE) God Forbid: Better Days (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21iDWQgiJKU) ==Rock/Alternative== Red Hot Chili Peppers: Can't Stop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldMUEJBA1tk) Rage Against the Machine: Sleep now in the Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz8wU9DdbqU) Paul McCartney: Helter Skelter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV18scOsX54) --best version of the song Queen: Another One Bites the Dust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMenB9Ywh2Q) --more bass then guitar, but who's counting strings? ==Iffy Songs you may/may not be able to choreograph== Bucket Head: Jordan (http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=OTcg9JybEp8)

Danny you should definitely keep it real. Lostandfound mentioned the FLCL soundtrack. That would be The Pillows, of course, and that is an EXCELLENT idea! Aj-kan was also mentioned by kmyk and that's another great idea! The song that they did for the Naruto opening theme is Haruka Kanata from the album, Houkai Amplifier. There is also Maximum The Hormone, of course, who does the opening theme for Death Note. Aside from these, I would also recommend songs by Ken Yokoyama or maybe Dir en Grey.

Danny if you trying to pull off playing the guitar I'd suggest trying some punk music ala The Ramones. It'd be cool to see you doing some 3-chord strumming and it wouldn't require more than some head bobbing and jerking around depending on how you want to do it.

My bet would be just about anything by The Who. Preferably "Won't Get Fooled Again". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUlUOvVSm5M&feature=related That youtube version ain't so great, sounds better off the "Who's Next" album, but you can't listen too it without air-guitaring, so with an actual guitar it should be great. Plus it's not overly fast and leaves plenty of room for some mad windmill action. Some Led Zep is also good for that kinda stuff and a few people have mentioned AC/DC, but for that you'd need to find bagpipes as well.

AC/DC - TNT! It's simple and has that punch to it, came to mind immediately when i thought of a stormtrooper. I would've said Iron Man but that song is already used since the new Iron Man movie came out X)

Have to recommend this, most likely not know a lot outside Finland and it's old one too (from 70's) but if someone asks for "guitar solos" I always think of this song, it just is good :) So: Get on by Hurriganes (AMV actually, best version of the song I found quick) http://youtube.com/watch?v=hPpmyJQXsAs&fmt=18 Enjoy ^^
