The Music of Video Games [339] Command & Conquer Red Alert

[jonezey119]

The first and the best hell march, pure brutality when that first guitaring kicks in, with the video they had on the intro as well ............... awesome

[FREEZERQC]

i still play this almost everyday on my psp

[kingofkilps]

and it this video was reasled just before my birthday lol

[kingofkilps]

you should do red alert 2

[Gatecrusherify]

BIG FOOT THE NUMBER ONE HERE NO HELL MARCH ???

[DeeDeeKL]

Hell March is good ... what i love about is the "Hard" first part and then the "techno" second part ... :) ... but ... i love all Franks OST's ... but i must say that also the "other guy's" work on CnC3:TW/KW was really good ... sadly HM3 from RA3 turned to be a piece of ...

[DrNSoos]

i was just playing this 5 min ago on my Mac lol:P

[Anzariel]

oh my god...you actually have that?!?!?!

[mushufasha]

Hell March was amazing...but sooo many to choose from. I thought Mud was amazing.

[Utubesuxmycock]

legendary game

legendary series

used to love all the music way back in the early 90s

[DracheN0504]

Hi I played C&C Red Alert when I was a kid, the music was awesome and i didn't get any shit about the intro video xD

[Zaptagious]

THIS SHIT'S FO' REAL

[vipernajem]

FOR MAZA RUSSIA! XD XD

[4mylove225]

hay nike

[NicoTnz0r]

frank lepacki ftw

[PvtRichardCranium]

Headbang for the Soviet Union.

[GanjMonster]

I've never played any of the Command and Conquer games, but my mate showed me this the other day.

This is such a fucking riff! What a tune! Really fun to play on a 5-string bass!

[uumdi]

I liked Mud just as much as Hell March honestly

I like the videos man, good choices

[Fingolfin3423]

I think Frank Klepacki's work in Red Alert is the best of his career. All of the tracks in this game fucking rock, and I still remember all of them to this day. Always liked Mud, Dense, Twin Cannon, Radio, Run, Workmen, Big Foot, Vector, the list goes on. The track titles still stick after 14 years. Hell, I love all the tracks in this game.

[blackwipe]

Brings back memories, awesome game.

[jukvox]

BEST GAME EVER... online, nothing has ever topped it in my opinion... this is the texas holdem of online games... Yes, more recent games have better graphics ect... but the concept, speed,control usage,.. it has the right amount of everything. I wish they could bring this back to recent computers, without changing a thing of course.

MORe than anything,, they should out it back in the tournament ladder... best days...

[Huskarlz]

this is epic !!

[Mankemacho]

Hell march 1 is the best :]

[mahtansi]

omfg!! this brings back memories!! i miss this game :(

[Schranz0rX]

Links zwo drei, links um!

[Bazmob33]

'Dense' or 'Mud' are the best songs on the game.

[TheHarperad]

Hell march was the most boring song Klepacki wrote, I don't get how people like it so much. What about Link up, Warfare, Act on instinct?

[mainkilla]

@TheHarperad

Unless Hell March is remixed like in Red Alert Retaliation, it is shitty.

[Soulsphere001]

@TheHarperad

Yeah, Hell March 2 is much, much better. This version is, like you said, boring.

[GeneralIgor]

Behind Tiberian Dawn the 2nd best Soundtrack ever!

Hail to Frank Klepacki!

[LiangHuBBB]

QFT

[loldig]

I miss that game, too bad it can't run on Vista or Win7 :< But really, was awsome.. God I hated the fucking enginners..

[denisg123]

dude you can make it work just have to be smart enough like me :)

[Glumglufs]

you can run it. you just have to download a file to be able to play it. Google "Red Alert vista"

[WhyIdontknowmyname]

this and c&c 1 are the best parts of the series.I love their music.

[gwingfan09]

I love the music for all the games up to and including red alert 2

[r3s0n4t0r]

Did anyone else used to put Hell March on repeat in the music settings? XD

[Quez256]

yep =)

[IAMHUNK11]

Hell yea

[Destoffeldv]

is hell march 2 on RA2 ok 2?

[cowie12]

@Destoffeldv  both

[loldig]

Ofcourse.. It's awsome!

[reav3rtm]

Yeah, the second 'looping' soundtrack was 'Bigfoot' :)

[dixie60]

@r3s0n4t0r yep. used to piss off my parents to no end lol. its such a brilliant composition

[transformersvoice]

@r3s0n4t0r YES.

[Heikos01]

I miss the track Trenches. That was one hell of a freaky and moody piece of music!

[DaJaeff]

oh man i didnt think i was talking to a fascist. alright at this point discussion is over for me

[DaJaeff]

so you are telling me i got no heart cause 40 years before i was even BORN some motherfucker fucked up our country?

[DaJaeff]

woah i just read they simply took hitler out of the german version.... but why change such a great game? i mean if it was for political reasons then why did they still mention him?

another thing: is the music made by westwood or did they have some band make it?

[TsytaNZ]

hitler is an insult to every germans honor, well those that have been brainwashed by their government and the jews around them.

the germans now are a scared and fragile race, weak and no longer considered to have a strong army or anything they have good technology but no heart.

they wanna erase hitler as if he never happened.

[DaJaeff]

ummm you know i AM german... no offense but you as non german trying to tell me about our history and culture makes your answer look kinda stupid....

the argument with trying to erase him doesnt count i mean if they wanted to they wouldnt even mention him in the german version.

we germans hate hitler as anyone does (or at least should)

every country has got moments in history they wanna erase. but i think no german of my generation should be ashamed of something even his parents didnt witness

[Hertzila]

Description, you should always read it before or after the video.

And to seem nice person I say it straight: they got a man named Frank Klepacki to compose it for them.

[DaJaeff]

well but i also dont remember the hell march sounding that way i remember a different intro without the voices.. but i think they were used in some other music track in the game... are there different versions?

[DaJaeff]

strange i dont remember any video in the game where they actually showed hitler and i played windows AND dos version... where do you see this video?

[deshuks]

"Did it work?" "Time will tell...

[Mycopia]

Forever one of my favorite games. :)

The map being played on is "keep off the grass". XD

[Rodriquez124]

Hell March all the way, one of the most badass tracks ever created!

[GoldenJoe]

I don't like RTS games, but C&C has a cool style anyway.

[Hertzila]

Hell March and Bigfoot are the only things you really need for world domination.

Even when playing on PS1. Pad sucked but it still was one hell of a game.

[Hertzila]

Oh, and of course you also need Mammoth Tanks.

[penguin1234554321]

Well spoken my friend, you speak wise words :D Soviets ftw

[dinoballz]

Tnx for uploading this!!

[punchandakick]

i remember playing this on PS1

[Redfoxe]

You cant beat Hell March :)

[lukeyboy10001]

i love this game good story to it stalin played a good part

[HardcoreTerrorJunkie]

I MISS THIS GAME :D

[RiverCityRandomness]

Best RTS series ever made, hands down!

[philpay95]

@RiverCityRandomness Game play wise?

[Ginteru]

I remember playing this game,

It was fucking awesome

[cyberstal]

Hell March 1 - The original and best :)

[PriusRider]

The szene were he kills Hitler is not in the german version oO.

I wonder why they deleted it...

[phocjame]

Hitler wouldn't have been there at that time - all the Germans were on holiday.

[thewilhelm]

He does not kill Hitler...he shakes his hand...

[PriusRider]

Yehr, but the result is death, isent it?

[thewilhelm]

The game never shows him being killed or states that he was your are pretty much left to assume what happens. My take is that he does not join the NSDAP and they do not take power to their fore the CCCP does what it does in the game...

[VR61661]

I haven't seen the intro in about 10 years but if I remember correctly, when the guy comes back, he says something like 'Hitler is out of the way' and 'time will tell' how it affects the altered future or something similar.

I always understood that in a way that anyone the time traveler touched would die. And they wanted to get rid of Hitler.

[drunkensailor112]

the result is that he erases hitler from the world and thus from history.

[penguin1234554321]

Hell March!!!! :D love that one

[MaulDicker]

Sounds like For Whom the Bell Tolls

[briani4735263]

Command and Conquer always had the BEST music, didn't it? Thanks for posting :)

[xbigbazzx]

I miss red alert 2 :*

[Zomniac]

Ahhh the good old days

[wxstatic]

Red Alert's Face Your Enemy. I dare to tell me of a more powerful games track ever! I'm not talking about something else but powerful.

[chrisk6662]

yea i agree this was the best

[hexus358]

Hell March ftw!

[jelloegg]

OMG I love this game!

[bcgabriot]

Best RTS ever aside from Starcraft

[raccoonmatinginyour]

This was my favourite game of all time when I owned a Windows 95. I still love it.

[GypsyRed]

Man! This music is KICKING MY ASS! XD

[g8282]

sorry...he actually said:

"when you kill one...it is a tragedy...

when you kill ten million it is a statistic"

my bad..

[g8282]

"when you kill one...it is a tragedy...

when you kill a million it is a statistic"

Classic line!

[Alexyvil]

This is indeed a classic, C&C is a great series!

Until EA killed Westwood x_x

[ArekkusuOS]

Epic bass line along with the march, a perfect intro for metal.

[al122385]

This game totally kicked ass... shame for some reasson my computer won't run it (not that my computer is crap, all the opposite), has to do with it not being well compatible with Windows XP and beyond... oh well!!

[bandnerd525]

the "command and conquer: decade" compilation i believe has this, and runs on current computers

[wolvebuck]

The first RTS I ever played.

[Fruggert]

me too :D!

[moominmama87]

i spent a lot of my childhhood with that game courtesy of my brother. good times!

[moominmama87]

hell march by Frank Klepacki - ahh that is the best! especially when the guitar starts up.

[bandnerd525]

i bought the soundtrack to this game back when it came out. such a good game, with great music

[GothdomEx]

The game will be offered for free august 31st

[Fall3nAngelz]

One of the best openings in videogame history, alongside Onimusha 3 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, of course.

[Psyduckoid]

lol yeah that is pretty great

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

f year hell march

[jarrhil]

Red Alert had some kickass music.

[CleverDjembe]
