The Terminator theme

My attempt at playing the theme from the Terminator. Good music. I'm self taught and learnt it by ear.

Absolute GOLD DUST! this is great

[gmfmusic85]

@daveswaymusic Thanks, man. Not so bad yourself!

umm...don't get me wrong. You technically did a great job playing this. But the Terminator theme just does NOT have nearly the same emotional impact on a piano! It just doesn't sound the same at all. The original theme (from the first Terminator) had a very dark, synthesized sound to it which gave it an ominous, industrial feel. On a piano?...ehh, not so much.

[gmfmusic85]

Yeah, I know what yoy mean. I think this arrangement, especially the first half, was inspired by the love-making scene in T1, rather than the main theme itself. Then in the second half I was just like, "Okay, this it sounds as a keyboard solo, I'll just live with it". Thanks for the feedback.

[ct92404]

That's kind of what I was thinking, the scenes with Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor. But there actually is a different variation of the theme during those scenes...it's much slower and probably would sound good on a piano. If you have the movie somewhere, watch it again and you'll see what I mean.

hey - sounds like a challenge. If I get the time, I'll give that a go! Lol. Terminator movies, especially T2, is one of my favourite movies of all time.

[dmanarist]

this sounds like from the scene in the 1st terminator when sarah and kyle reese did the wild thing lol Good job tho

[antunkatona]

Though a big Terminator fan, I think you did a fantastic job. 5 stars all the way!

[DanielTominiko]

i now know why you cry because of this video

[stephenturvey]

Mate this song doesn't go to terminator... its your own. very good, using chords as well, so far I only know myself and you who can play this properly using chords. Everyone on ere just plays it 2 dimensionally if you know what I mean. On the last video I watched some guy totally murdered it to the point where if I could pull him out of the video I would of slapped him. You play well... keep it up.

Later this fall sarah meets a man who is actually a machine, but she will show him that he can love even if he is programed to destroy humanity see this amazing love story directed from james cameron of avatar wb studios brings you ... The terminator .. rated R for intense love scenes

About time I saw a video that has the same exact piano as me!

:D

(Good piano skills, btw)

@ct92404 I think you forgot about "Conversation by the window/love scene" from the original soundtrack of "The Terminator" that has a sad soft piano variation of the terminator theme before it goes into a faster paced theme very 80s esque which is a reprise of sorts of the terminator main theme. Less than half of the music is different variations of the main theme while the others are tone setters for the different scenes in the movie

Very good!!! :D

[ibtroops]

How does this have 2,950 views? This is really emotional, dark or not this is brilliant! I agree, shame I can't five sstar anymore, so I'll say I liked it.

[moonlightdeadite]

Even though I really like this version of the theme it sounds like the carebears got ahold of the music lol.

[ldl0021]

This is different . . . . but beautifully done and I like it alot.

[mekanik347]

[cozzy1000]
