Songs about superheroes
I'm fascinated by this phenomena
Like I just found out Iron Man was the name of Ghostface Killah's debut album (Another proof that he was already popular before the movies)
Any other examples? Of supes being popular in music before these movies really took off?
also how do i downlaod the song, the link doesn't work anymore
NO I WILL NOT USE YOUTUBE TO MP3 LIKE A PLEB
yt-dlp
>Anon discovers nerdcore
Good for you, welcome to 2015
it started in 2015? feels like it should be older
>YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE SCOTT LANG
Im surprised the most by the amadeus cho name drop, didn't know he was popular
That's not proof of Iron Man being popular before the movies, its proof that Ghostface Killah is a comic geek.
It is. Here's a song about Judge Dredd from the 90s
I suppose
Anything from the 80's?
It's loosley about the character in question
Always loved this one
>(Another proof that he was already popular before the movies)
Honestly that's not really proof of much, Iron Man was always arguably one of the more well known Marvel characters sure, but his casual fame level still wasn't that high before the movies, he was nowhere near Spider-Man or X-Men fame, even before their own movies.
Anyway I'll post some shit, some are about blatantly and some are just nods or references
Second half of the song was inspired by The Punisher, pretty well known fact even though it's not a direct call out
About Deathlok
Plays the Spider-Man theme at the 3:27 mark
About Judge Dredd
This entire album is just a concept album about Spawn, but I'll just post one song
About Carnage, also was the theme for the Maximum Carnage video game, so might be a cheat
>Grew up listening to Megadeth
>Never fricking clicked that Psychotron was about Deathlok.
Lets do this shit:
Swing Time, ballin Spidey song.
Ego the Living Planet:
Clutch namecheck the MIB and some other fun stuff
THOR!
They made this just for a Sega video game?
It's fun
SWING TIME
SWININGING FOR JUSTICE
Ego The Living Planet is a very obscure cb character to make a song for but that's dope
THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR
feel like he should have a lot more songs
reminds me of that mf doom alphabet song
GOd I remember Adam WarRock. He was an account or something who wanted to make music instead, put out a couple of albums and then fricking vanished.
If you're just discovering him, have his absolultely tightest track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6snEuFd-5Vw
Also have this timepiece of a song about The Flash.
Flash Fact- that Flash song was written by Jim Infantino, nephew of Carmine Infantino, creator of Barry Allen and so many more Silver Age DC characters.
Adam Warwiener is such a hardcore name
THIS IS BEYOND THE AGE OF GOLDEN AGE
The second song is 🙁
Poor flash
:0
do you think he was inspired as a kid growing up near him
i don't really listen to rap but like for comic book characters, it just really goes well together
the bombastic action and fast beatful energy i'm guessing
Love all the different panel shots
Anything from Czarface. They had a song on the Venom sequel but this one's about Punisher
Marvel by Diabolic is great
I'm to lazy to get the link but Kirby Krackle made a really good song about the Great Lakes Avengers
Tribe One is one of my favorite nerdcore artists. He's really nice guy to boot.
I also just discovered Wordburglar about two weeks ago and I've been enjoying their stuff, especially the Cobra Island album.
Tribe One - The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe From A to Z:
Wordburglar - Drawings with Words:
Oh that's a good one, this is also my jam.
;_;
"hank pym got some demons within him"
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
this is all awesome music
im just happy to find out comic books have always been popular throughout pop culture ಥ_ಥ
I'm interested
I like this one about Judge Dredd, shame it only has like 15k views.
This one is about Man-Thing
This might be cheating cause it was written for the Spiderman 3 soundtrack
Canonical songs from the comics being put into RL music in an authentic way>>>>>
that are just about superheroes
Ghostface called himself Tony Starks and Method Man was Johnny Blaze.
Wu Tang is for the Children.
Jim's Big Ego - The Ballad of Barry Allen
I love this stuff
>mfw I was a Kang all along
Not exactly what OP asked for, but here's a Spanish song about Robert Crumb:
>It has been those comics, Crumb's comics
>It has been those comics, Crumb's comics
>My brain has entered the terminal phase by following
>Mr. Natural's advice
Funnily enough, I bet Crumb would hate this song if he listened to it.
When the '80s shred metal band Racer X (named after the character from Speed Racer) reformed in the late '90s, they did an album called Superheroes where they adopted goofy secret identities. The album was originally meant to be called "The Adventures of the Racer X-Men" but was changed at the last minute for obvious reasons.
what were they called?
The singer was "Motorman", the guitarist was "The Electric Bat", the bassist was "The X-tinguisher" and the drummer was "Cowboy Axe".
Still musicvideokino.
