Jonathan Crane Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 So in light of the return of BIONICLE (woot, woot) there some songs I would like as the theme or as commercial songs, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg9_Lx2AWaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2206Fe3xLf0 and last, but not least any others?

bioniclepluslotr Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What if they made a hip-hop song that's actually serious and could be taken seriously out of context, like on airplay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Frankly, I would prefer a new, original song that was actually written FOR the theme over any song casually plucked from the airwaves. Ninjago and Legends of Chima have gotten their own original promotional songs. Even the old BIONICLE had original songs by Cryoshell for its last several years. Why should the new BIONICLE deserve any less? 4 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Man Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) please no more god-awful licensed radio-rock stuff. although I'm not the biggest fan of their music, I like what they did with Cryoshell - getting some people together to write new songs, making a band out of them, and then giving them enough of a boost to allow them to exist on their own and find their own musical identity. I feel like, if anything, they should either go that route again or at the very least try to work with some more unknown and underground acts who might not get a lot of attention otherwise.

Ragnar Lothbrok Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 LEGO could always ask a reasonably popular band to write a song for BIONICLE, hoping some of their fanbase will buy some sets. But it's more likely that they'll look for another 'unknown' Danish group and help them expand their careers, as Scythey said previously.

Perhaps they might consider weaving some of the music from the old Bionicle somewhere. That's one thing that might not put off new fans. I'm also in the "Bring Back Nathan Furst" group, even though that is strongly unlikely. I'd be okay with Cryoshell making a return, I guess. Even still, I wouldn't be opposed to something entirely new, either. Bring in some fresh talent - as long as it's good.

IXRollOutIX Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I always think of the 2008 story when I listen to this song. If they ever decide to do a cross promotion with a band like they did with the AAR in 2006, Imagine Dragons has my vote. They wrote a song for Transformers: AOE and another for League of Legends, so their collaboration is within reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeddy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Like some others here, I would also prefer that they make new music. If it has to be a cheesy rock song, then I wouldn't mind if Cryoshell made a comeback. They already have a working relationship with the series, they're familiar to fans and releasing new music could be a boost for them as well. In an ideal world, Bionicle would have it's own soundtrack (instrumental, like for movies and tv shows and stuff), but I don't know how well that would work in reality. It's a toy line, so a proper soundtrack would probably be too much effort and may not actually fit with the medium (where would they even use it?). But one can hope.

Sir Kohran Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm not particularly keen on more rock with cheesy lyrics. I'd rather instrumental stuff, like what was composed for the MNOLGs and the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm not particularly keen on more rock with cheesy lyrics. I'd rather instrumental stuff, like what was composed for the MNOLGs and the movies.Frankly, I think there's plenty of room for both. Instrumental stuff is perfect for the score of a TV show or movie, and for establishing the overall feel of the franchise, but at the same time it never hurts to have something catchier and more lyrical for commercials or a TV show's intro.

NickonAquaMagna Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) The key, if anything, is for the lyrics to fit. That's the absolute most important thing. Take this song, for example. I wasn't going to share it for a while, but I'm thinking of featuring this song later down the line, when I make a story arc showing what happened to Piras and the others after they left Miro Nui, and the hardships they endured while they were away. Now, this may not be the most exciting, blood pumping sort of tune... if anything, it's slow, quiet and unsettling... but it's essentially Toa Piras' theme. The lyrics sum up his entire mindset. These are the thoughts rolling through his mind. It fits his character, AND, in a larger sense, the "dark side of Nova Orbis," especially when this story takes some unexpected turns. But that's all I'll say about that for now. I'm just using this as an example. Cryoshell's lyrics almost always fit Bionicle's story really well from moment to moment, be it by literally describing the setting, or exploring the struggles the characters go through. That's what makes them work. I'm not sure what would fit Bionicle 2015, though. From everything we've seen, the tone seems... fairly light hearted.
