"Crockett`s Theme" from Norway....

Recommended Posts

Just found this forum through the Twitter page. Been a MV fan since late 80s, but got the fanboy re-ignited after I saw the Cocaine Cowboys documentary on Netflix. So much so, I had to record my own version of "Crockett`s Theme", AND... make a bloody music video for it!

 

Thought I might share it with you fellow fanboys :)

 

 

... anyways, "skål" from Norway!

Nice video, and music. Refreshing version!

 

Skål! Hjemmebrygg eller?

Beautiful!  The excitement in the video coincides with the more exciting parts of the music.  Very well done. :thumbsup:

Creative. Hearing so many versions over the years, (some that are not too good) I too, am glad to hear a new version that is actually fun to hear. I like how you used the secondary theme played under the main theme, like I hear in the 12 extended versions to nice effect.

 

Not at all like the copycat  versions out there. Great Job!

Welcome to the site! I love the effect on the video, and Crockett's Theme sounds great too.

 

Where did you get the guitar tab? Assuming it is an actual guitar and not a midi.

I didn`t find any tabs out there, so I just figured out the parts by listening to various versions of the song. It`s real guitars and such, yeah :)

Oh nice, I guess I'm just not skilled enough to improvise on my own. :)

I`m not good at writing tabs and stuff, but I got a couple of jams from my instagram... maybe they can be of any help?

 

Guitar is tuned to E standard...

It's an excellent rendition! That's a pity such music didn't find its way to the 2006 feature movie.... it would've suited it better than the post-grunge they used. 

 

Norway.

 

It a was few years back, Warsaw, I was standing at the bar, a go-go bar it was, lapdance and neons, "True" by Spandau Ballet playing in the background, when all of a sudden a group of Norwegian guys came in.

 

"Cool suit bro!" they said. "D'ya get a lot of pussy for that suit?"

"Sure I do," I replied.

 

And so we ordered a round of bourbon, and they raised the glasses with that Nordic "skål!"

I tried to repeat it, but it was too weak.

"Skål!!!!! Like a Viking!" they roared.

So I roared back, and that time it was all right.

 

Welcome to the forum, and once again - genuine respect for the video.

Haha, cool story! Bet the suit was white? 

 

Thanx man, quite some work put into that video. Working on a couple of remixes of the track now, and a cover of the main theme as well.

 

I`ll post the here as soon as they`re done :)

In spirit with the great Jan Hammer`s habit of pumping out different versions of his music... I thought I`d do the same!

Reloaded: Song is remixed and some parts corrected, video has some color adjustments and scene change. The ultimate version IMO

 

 

Radio edit: same version as Reloaded, only shorter and less guitars. My attempt to get closer to Jan`s original version.

Nice montage! I like how they mixed the real headlines of the day with MV intertwined

Thanks for posting.

Just watched all 3 of your versions of Crockett's Theme.  I am no musician but your music was terrific and the colors, images and pacing were just super.  Thank you for sharing.

My latest and last MV abomination. Can be viewed as the sequel to the "Crockett`s Theme" video I posted earlier this year...

 

 

Enjoy! :)

Ok, that is badass. Nice guitar playing.  :thumbsup:
