The roar was present in the first Godzilla (1954) and was created by composer Akira Ifukube who produced the sound by rubbing a resin-covered leather glove along the loosened strings of a double bass and then slowed down the playback.
Goddamnit I LOVE YouTube! Yeah I know, it's 2011, why shouldn't you be able to get anything you could think of within seconds just by looking for it, but I mean I still find it so brilliant that it all actually works, and usually without having to jump thru hoops or pay thru the nose. Sure, we still have a VERY long way to go with a lot of stuff, disease, ignorance, greed, racism, pop music, but every now and then you just gotta stop and say "wow, you know what, I'm glad we're alive today."
dude. We ALL knew that 1-18-08 had NOTHING to do with Godzilla.....didn't you ever even look at the videos that were up...yes I know that was for ever ago but back then even WE KNEW IT WASN"T ZILLA IT WAS SOMETHING ELLS >.< lol sorry i just had to say that
@Maxxatopolis That would be the American godzilla. The Japanese godzilla never layed the egg minya hatched from or the egg junior hatched from, also junior absorbed the 2nd godzilla's power and became an adult automatically. What I'm saying is the 2nd godzilla was a daddy.
hmmm interesting a bit old school and i never really liked these godzilla movies but i had to look up dragon roars after i saw ep 61 of fairy tail and that beast roar near the end. now i go look up more roars
@heartattackat30 FUCKING AWESOME I'm glad I'm not the only one who made a joke like that..... I was just thinking about putting my facebook status as "The reason for the Tsunami and Earthquake in Japan was obviously caused by no one other than Godzilla....i always knew he was real..... What..... was the joke to soon?....." xD your awesome i always make jokes about things but people bs and say there offensive and act like they actually care and tell me that my joke is mean or something
@MrRIckmassey the roar was created by composer Akira Ifukube who produced the soundrubbing a resin-covered leather glove along the loosened strings of a double bass and then slowed down the playback.
they say they made godzillas raor by taking a leather glove and moving it along that enlarged version of a violin. someone should try it and see if its true, then u should reply plz
i think the new best roar ever is from the kraken of clash of the titans, and plus he might have actually existed...godzilla is good but if there was a showdown between a pissed of dino and the kraken, i think the kraken would take the cake
and im talkin bout the new clash kraken, i wouldn't mess with that mofo
