Streets of Rage 1 Music - Attack The Barbarian

[MrSashaT]

@ CirqueDuFreak2000 ... I like the nickname you gave for those bosses, also Wolverine that RHF gave..lol I referred to those bosses as Santa Clawz, just like the fatties as being the Burger Boys (afterall, they are built like big macs)..LMAO

[rainbowphoenix42]

The official theme tune for office company progress reviews.

[chblythe91]

When this song comes on...you know it's time to kick ass.

[ACl3O]

One of the really super things on Street of rage was the music

[Thr33X]

BEST BOSS MUSIC EVER.

[AASTARAA]

Boss music stage

[evilwatches]

I don't know why, but the first boss always reminded me of Joe Camel.

[BHUTANISPARTOFCHINA]

i love the guys with the claws there awesome i think if you ask me

[eclectica1]

Boomerang man = easy

Guy with the claw hand = shit, you're fast

Ultimate Warrior lookalike = damn, that's one big punch, and are you on roller skates?

Fat fire-breathing fuck = I know, I'll just throw you over my...oh, wait...

Twins = @#@#!!!!!!!! (translation = many lives lost, or much blood, sweat and tears expended to practice being good against them)

Final boss = surprisingly easy.

[SSB3006]

@eclectica1 You forgot stage 6, two claw guys. NOT FAIR AT ALL!

[3dmarth]

@SSB3006 After you figure out how to take out the one claw guy easily by walking in a different plane, they throw two in at the same time, making that strategy a lot less effective. :(

[Thr33X]

@eclectica1 Mr. X was kind of like the reward for surviving all the punish you had to go through to get to him. Like...okay, you made it this far, now beat the rich white guy with the assault rifle's ass. lol

[09kenn]

@Thr33X lol nice

[WaterKirin]

Lyrics, please.

[harboringanomalies]

@WaterKirin UH

[WaterKirin]

@harboringanomalies

Hahaha...

[niggervangogh]

hell of a song here wow cool indeed

[ohAlanho]

that 2nd boss with the freddy krueger claws gave me nightmares when i was 6 =[

[fishagotit]

When this music played n u saw the boss in the center of the screen u knew of one thing the barbarian was attacking

[beto2710]

classic

[DarthCipient]

Best boss theme ever.

[davintheraven]

"Your weapon is your body. Your bare knuckles. Destroy the Syndicate!!"  - the white caption on the back of the box of Bare Knuckle.

[shawdawg28]

Screwattack should have had this or Shiva's song on their top 10 songs list.

[BaronOfBacon]

When you hear this song, you know shit's about to go down.

[rutgerultimate]

1 person couldnt reach that far in the game when you hear this music at the first boss

[Lamborghini210490]

@rutgerultimate

lol.. make sense.. :D

[budafuka]

Every time I hear this, I always think a 9-foot tall russian dude with a giant boomerang is about to kick my ass.

[fayt87]

VROOOOOOOM! Screeeeeeeeeech! 

[youlook678]

UH UH UH UH UH UH UH *REPEATS* UH! UH!

[JRock0085]

so 90's [I love it]

[JRock0085]

tense music means boss fight back in the day :)

[Musiqking06]

OH SHIT! IT'S THE BOOMERANG MAN! HIT "A"!!!!

[xbandvideo]

One person was attacked by the barbarian.

[Chrayze]

@xbandvideo And it wasn't Chuck Norris.

[JasonBrazen]

Once that bass drops you're like oh shit! lol

[Wartogh]

Best boss music ever. When this music starts, you know it's on.

[jjvictor66]

1 forever alone guy could't pass the first boss.

[MrNiconiconico]

The Twins.... THE GODDAMN TWINS! >:(

[MrDevon1987]

@MrNiconiconico Some of these characters should appear in fighting games (if Sega cooperates, that is)...

[RisenHellFire]

@MrNiconiconico They can be easy if you time jump kicks, but fighting two at once by yourself is a pain.

But I've got to give it to "Wolverine". God I can never figure out his pattern.

[StarDragonJP]

@RisenHellFire yeah and if you try to jump kick him he dodges them slashes you

[CirqueDuFreak2000]

@RisenHellFire referring to freddy krueger, i assume?

[xboyindahouse]

THE GREATEST BOSS THEME EVER

[Jiterdomer]

PUSH DA COP BUTTON BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!!!

[cataback101]

.... OH SHIT,COP BUTTON COP BUTTON,OH IM OUT We Go On BOOMERANG ME!

[TranceCore3]

This song is serious. I love how they nodded to this song in SoR2.

[JasonBrazen]

Once that bass drops you know you're in trouble! LOL

[gjtrue]

I wish Axel, Adam, and/or Blaze made it into Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Imagine this theme starting up when Axel gets his All-Star Move!

The music alone would get me in a panic, cuz' you know some s*** is about to go down!!!! ;)

[TyrantSoulps3]

Nothing has ever said"Boss Battle,get Ready" better than this theme

[nickyforiasha]

i love this music

[Lazy034]

Damn those two Santa Claws bosses at stage 6. If that stage didn't have that extra special attack pickup, I don't know how I would've passed this stage when I was a kid.

[MECHASWORLD2020]

@Lazy034 Santa Claws? was that factory a candy cane factory or something?

[achthenuts]

The theme that makes ya "WARNING: here comes the EPICNESS".

After that, you clear the STAGE.

[xGolbezx]

heh i picture a bunch of people all beating the crap out of eachother, then all randomly break into some extreme dancin'. lol

[dakarus]

The 2nd boss is ruthless

[CDbiggen]

@dakarus Damn right, couldn't even kick him. 4th was insane.

[DarkX64]

@CDbiggen Nothing comes close to the amount of frustration that those twins caused me. I hate them with a burning hotter than the sun. >:(

[MrSinister1979]

I'd totally use the tunes from the first two SOR games as party music. People wouldn't be able to stop dancing...

[djb1ge]

One Final Fight fanboy came & disliked this.

[xboyindahouse]

@djb1ge

yup Streets of Rage kicked Final Fight's ass back in 1991

[ErnestoGPerez]

this song is SOOOOO Genesis! :b

[SolidThugKnuckles]

EH EH EH EH EH EH EH EH EH EH

This theme's awesome.

[Nicksolo85]

Every time I hear this music, I'm like "Uh oh" because I know a boss is coming out to kick my ass.

Can't believe I got pwned by that fire breather when I played the other day.

[DeimosComaBlack]

Round 4... Fat fire-breathing retards, AWAY!

[outpapa]

Actually im wondering what is the name of the effect of this siren at the begening. it s like a police siren.

[SamusDrake]

This music totally blew me away back went it was released. One of the finest tracks in gaming history.

[mistertitanic]

This and the boss theme from Sonic 2 are my pics for the best Boss themes ever.

[YinYang19]

*Hears music*

Oh shit... I know what's coming...

*Thinks of rip-off Wolverine boss or the Blaze lookalikes*

OH-SHI!

[tbone2004]

@YinYang19 Onihime and Yasha...

Oh, how I LOATHE those bosses in Round 5. It's at that point, you call for backup and widdle their lifebars down drastically!

[LeQuack147]

This is gonna hurt....

[Zepp900]

For me, the toughest boss fight in the game is against the Blaze clones. I have a strategy to beat every other boss without much trouble but those two always give me a hard time.

[outpapa]

@Zepp900

Yes, in fact one of thoses girls cannot being hit, she s always jumping, so u must beat the other one first.

[t1mel1ne]

@outpapa no dude you catch her when she lands, up b c was the code to land if they throw you so you don't get hurt.

[WaterKirin]

@Zepp900

Depends on what kind of hard you are talking about.

[Neofabitch]

The tension this song gives has never been reproduced in any form of media again. Ever.

[glitchhunter09]

I swear Kega Fusion's Wav dump with the sound option on Super HQ option on gives better results than VGM. the cymbols sound atrocious any other way.

[MDthornton83]

Great boss battle theme.

[speedgun00]

download this song onto mp3 and the baseline sounds crazyy.. trust me, you need to hear this with the base. just incredible

[troysson81]

This intro reeks of "OH S**T".

[djb1ge]

That was a nice touch adding the Stage-End music at the end. I never realized it fit so perfectly!

[jjvictor66]

this music make me want to punch till death a 6feet tall man LOL

[thapoint09]

I was trying to listen to this song at school today and this b**ch of a teacher kicked me off the computer because it was "too loud", even though I already turned it down. Douche.

[Kingofeurope]

This boss theme really makes you afraid of the boss. It's really one of those "OH SHIT" themes.

[wesker100000000]

This song and rocket knight boss theme told you there's an epic fight ahead and you're also gonna get a kicking :), hope someone remakes this series it needs to come back.

[JargonDragon]

I loved the way Blaze walked with the music in this game - so funky. Only people who've played the game will know what I'm talking about.

[RagingPhoenix420]

AHHH FOND MEMORIES!! takes me back to when i had my sega with the 6-pac cartridge that consists of 6 of my fav sega games: Streets Of Rage, Columns, Super Hang-On, Golden Axe, Sonic The Hedgehog, and Revenge Of Shinobi... I'd pause this just to dance to it, then i'd unpause it and that bastard with the claws would blindside me... SMH

[UnrealK9999]

OMGGGGGGGG CLASSICCCCCCCCCCCC

[tbone2004]

Round 1: Antonio

Round 2: Souther

Round 3: Z. Kusano

Round 4: Heart

Round 5: Onihime and Yasha

Round 6: Souther X 2

Round 8: Mr. X's Gauntlet

Each time, it just gets harder until you face the big man himself! >=D

[shyguy778]

@tbone2004 Where did you get this info?

[tbone2004]

@shyguy778 Some streets of rage fansite had names for characters. Most of the names came from Bare Knuckle.

[geekgo4]

@tbone2004 From what I saw at a scan of an Mega Drive Book, "Z. Kusano" was called "Abadede" and "Heart" was "Bongo."

[tbone2004]

Tap A?

Heh... BRING IT ON! I'll fight you guys without backup! (Cracks knuckles)

[KareemAbawi]

2:22 & up is so amazing.... pure simple Bass....

I went into strike when I was a kid until I brought my parents into submitting to my demands updating my SEGA Master System II with Sega Genesis and "SOR + Shinobi + Sonic" games

[troysson81]

The vocal sample is in perfect quality.

[blakbro2k]

I love this, you are just minding your own business punching meaningless punks to pulp when all of a sudden....

[troysson81]

lol

[hellbadger84]

I'd instantly shit myself & press A before the boss even made it on screen

[zachlegare94]

@hellbadger84 i did that all the time

[6emedisciple]

@hellbadger84 You sentence made me instantly laugh. Your pseudo ends with "84" it s maybe your birth date like it s the case for me. cya

[bovinemarauder]

@hellbadger84 Hahah too true buddy, when I was a kid I would fear the bosses, music made it worse!

[Darkvalkerie]

@hellbadger84

OMG Same Here!! xD 

[wyovr4]

@hellbadger84 AHAHAHAAA!!!! Yes!

[SonicSidewinder]

Shit! Tap A!

[jons44]

Lol! Exactly! Kaboom!

[SolidThugKnuckles]

eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh

^love that

[TDBolton23]

Hahahahhahaa!

[2247522475]

sikk

[GenesisSanctuary]

This is one of the greatest boss themes ever.:)

[Inuzadrop]

The starting of this music is so f'n badass!

[Saturnwalker]

No other boss theme can beat this.

[DoctorTomato87]

No one does boss themes like Yuzo.
