Black Lab Releases Transformers Song

Postby Stormrider » Wed Jun 13, 2007 3:03 am

Weapon: Atom-Smasher Cannon
Black Lab, a rock band known for their MTV hits- ‘Wash it Away’ and ‘Time Ago’ as well as their featured songs on the Spiderman and Blade: Trinity soundtracks recently submitted their song to Paramount for consideration on the new Transformers Movie soundtrack. Unfortunately, the song did not make the finalized cut as reported here.

As July 4th approaches the group had no other choice than to release their Transformers Theme song independently. Black Lab member and long time Transformers fan, Andy Ellis, stated that the group is obsessed with Transformers and they are excited about their new release because it has the G1esque sound that people are dying to hear.

I liked it, a remake of the classic theme from the orginal flick... It's a shame it was passed over, I thought it was pretty faithful!

Hell yeah now thats a theme! Not as good as the originle but better than what we got. It needs to be faster and have a better singer. Hell just get a better singer. But its still 100% better than what we've been given. I wish my band was still together. We played the lion theme during parctice. It was basicly the same just with Iron Maiden like gutiar solos in the middle. I must now form a new band and show paramount what a real TF theme sounds like.

Pretty cool. Definitely better than Mute Math's.
The vocals seemed a little choked/restrained trying to get that fairly monotonous robotic like tone.
I think Dragonforce or Mastondon should have given it a go :D THAT would be rocking. I love the ATHF sountrack :).

I have to agree, Mutemath's take sucked, and this...actually the best one since Lion set the bar very high in 1986.

Come on Lion, reunion!!!

Blech. Lousy vocals, instrumentation not much different than Lion's version. What's the point of even doing a new version if you're just carbon-copying the old one? (Note, this is not a defense of the new soundtrack material, as I've not heard the majority of it)

Everyone clamoring for this stuff should be reminded that both the 1986 cartoon movie and its soundtrack have been re-released and shouldn't be too hard to find.

Now this...this is the correct type of cheesy theme the film requires.

F*ck MuteMath's.

That is what should have been the theme for the movie.

I liked that first one by Deceptibot but couldn't stand Mutemath's... But I've gotta say: THAT is a nice theme. Video wasn't half bad either...

Oh yeah, much better, but maybe it's a little too similar to Lion's theme. Terrible vocals. I'am guessing that's why it wasn't chosen.

Why they overlooked this in favor of Mutemath is highly likely because they are retarded. Realistically, because Mutemath's label were able to offer more money as part of the promotional package. Still, although I don't prefer the vocalist who is sounds like a clichéd cross between trying to sound hardcore, trying to sound sexy, and really sounding tired and bored, it's one hell of a lot better than Linkin Park's or Mutemath's versions. It's a modern rock cover of the White Lion theme from the 1986 movie. It would have been absolutely perfect to start out the closing credits. The utter stupidity of passing on this forces me to resist the urge to shoot myself in the eye. (Note I say it forces me to resist the urge because if they went with it instead, I would not actually have the urge.) God knows what other good submissions they passed on before exclaming "Hey crap! The public likes crap!"

hmmm... Sounds like the Lion version from the animated film and Vince DiCola's original movie theme merged together. It's ok, but nothing spectacular. Still upset that Lion's version didn't have the "Robots In Disguise" part in it like the movie did. I'm just pissed off that it seems that there won't be an actual score for the film. Just crappy pop, rock and R&B music. And if there is, not enough to warrent a CD release of the score itself.

While I did like how it sounded, I can see how it was passed over. It was nothing more than a cover of the Lion version from the original movie soundtrack.

Bay and company have gone in a completely different direction than we were used to with just about EVERYTHING associated with this movie, right down to changing Spike's name -- would anyone expect that the theme song would be treated any different?

If Black Lab really wanted to get a song onto this soundtrack, they should have realized the only chance they would have had would have been to come up with something COMPLETELY original...
