Ghost Riders In The Sky

[The Joker]

Who was this song by in the movies? I loved the cover, but I cant find who performed it anywhere...and it doesnt appear to be on the score either.

[K.B.]

You liked the tecno version of Ghost Riders in the sky ? YIKES! god damn the youth of today...

to answer your question..I really don't know but it sounded like the band prozakk to me.

[InVictus]

Spiderbait i think

[The Joker]

You liked the tecno version of Ghost Riders in the sky ? YIKES! god damn the youth of today...

to answer your question..I really don't know but it sounded like the band prozakk to me.

it wasnt techno, first off...techno implies only keyboards used, no real instruments...if anything, it was industrial, which is techno with metal guitars...and I love the original verson of GRITS...as well as Dick Dales surf version of it...a good song can be translated well to any genre...

anyway, it was spiderbait, but I cant find the damn thing anywhere...and it's not on the soundtrack cd...

[Abe]

It is Spiderbait, yes.
Word is Mark Steven Johnson got to know the bad whilst he was here in Melbourne, and they hit it off.
I love the original and subsequent cover versions of this song. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed Spiderbait's version as well.
Much more than their cover to "Black Betty." God, that got irritating.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Spider-bait did a song, yes, but it wasn't Ghost Riders in the sky, I'm sure of it.

We sat through the entire credits to find out where it was filmed and I remember seeing Ghost Riders In The Sky on the songlist but didn't see the Performed By Title...so I could be wrong

[GenerationX7]

I hate to say this but I don't think it will be released anytime soon. It's better to wait for it to be released.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I've been waiting for the Catwoman soundtrack to come out and look what happened :cmad: >.< :p

The score was cool...I wanna get any record with Ghost Rider on it, but this whole "Let's make a good-looking movie, have a popular music soundtrack intertwined with a score and release them both seperately to make more money" eg Fantastic Four score, Fantastic Four soundtrack. Please, if it goes over two discs, just make it a two-disc set. GOSH!

[Assassin]

i just bought the johhny cash one a few min ago from itunes :up:

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Johnny Cash rocks...his sound I think would mash well with Ghost Rider.

Maybe not this particular film, but with Ghost Rider in general...

[webhead731]

Is this the song that first played in the credits? Yeah, why? THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SCORE'S THEME! Then played this one second. What the heck?!:(

[Vartha]

I hope they at least put this on the DVD, that is a cool tune!

[Mr. Credible]

so what's the name of the song then? ghost riders in the sky? by spiderbait?

i freaking loved it, and i can't wait to get it on a cd so i can listen to it on my way to places where i need to act like a badass.

[Vartha]

I think that's what it's called, or Riders in the sky revisited, by Spiderbait.

[Mr. Credible]

is there somewhere in particular to download it? i'm not seeing it on limewire or kazaa.

thanks in advance.

[InVictus]

I think it's not out yet.

[Vartha]

I don't think there is yet. Mark had met Spiderbait while making the film, maybe He'll post a download on the Blog.

[Mr. Credible]

i need it like, now. they need to get on this.

[GenerationX7]

It'll get up if wnd when it gets up. Have patience. I know it's a cool song, but getting impatient won't do anything.

[spideyboy_1111]

i must have this song :)

[The68Pie]

i like the Johnny Cash Version the best

[spideyboy_1111]

any new word?

[Abe]

In the credits it's listed as (Ghost) Riders In The Sky, by Spiderbait.
I'm waiting with anticipation for the cd single to be released, and then, of course, the cd soundtrack and score.
Oh yeah!
Heck, I might even see the movie again, just for the music!

[Tempest19]

There is no soundtrack. Only score. Which is out.

[spideyboy_1111]

the single for this song needs to be out.... im shocked its not on limewire

[Mr. Credible]

still nothing? this is straight up butthole-alicious. you'd think someone would have gotten something out there by now.

the version by the 'outlaws' is kind of good, though.

[Vartha]

only thing I've found to download is one from Debra Harry! I can't find the Cash one to download

[spideyboy_1111]

limewire has many a version.. just not this one :(

[SilentType]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j_iespL_2U
:woot:

[PWN3R]

Someone find this already.:cmad:

[FlameHead]

LoL. I agree, it would be nice to have a copy. It's awesome that Mark did add this guys to the movie. I remember him talking about them long ago, during the production process.

Fun stuff.

[Midnyte_Sun]

Ghost Riders in the Sky, the JohnnY Cash version is on iTunes for $1.

Its definitely worth it, and they have like 40 other versions of that song, but nothing from Spiderbait.

[spideyboy_1111]

lol the johnny cash one and all others (aside from spiderbait) are free on limewire :-P

[PWN3R]

Yeah, the whole point of this thread is to find Spiderbait's version and share.

[FlameHead]

Somebody mentioned this in another thread but, they have a myspace page, if that helps:

http://www.myspace.com/spiderbaittheband

[Heretic]

No one has ever heard of this band...they have their big break with a song in the number one movie of the week...and they dont put that song on their Myspace or promote it at all.

This band is a pack of fools.

[Vartha]

Well maybe if enough of us ask for a download or something there they WILL put a link up. I just Asked for a download there.

[Mr Nick]

No one has ever heard of this band...they have their big break with a song in the number one movie of the week...and they dont put that song on their Myspace or promote it at all.

This band is a pack of fools.

An announcement about the song has been on their website and Myspace page for months. As for why it's not been released, it may not be their decision to make.

:dry:

[Heretic]

Certainly the band has the right to put it on their Myspace???

[Chris Wallace]

Who was this song by in the movies? I loved the cover, but I cant find who performed it anywhere...and it doesnt appear to be on the score either.

From what I read, the song actually inspired the creation of the comic. I wonder if MSJ knew that.:ghost:

[MCRPhantomGhost]

:ghost: Hi new, but dying to get my hands on this song!! I saw the movie Sunday and loved it!! I hope they release a Inspired by CD with the songs from the movie. :ghost:

[Mr Nick]

I've been wondering since day one if there was going to be a song released to promote the film. If Spiderbait's song is as good as everyone seems to be saying, it's a shame they didn't use it. It'd have been good for the movie and the band.

:yay:

[tzarinna]

*waits*

[The Joker]

still not a damn thing on limewire...we may be stuck waiting for the dvd and ripping it off the closing credits at this point...

[Masut]

still not a damn thing on limewire...we may be stuck waiting for the dvd and ripping it off the closing credits at this point...

Ahh. I hope not.

[InVictus]

still not a damn thing on limewire...we may be stuck waiting for the dvd and ripping it off the closing credits at this point...

*cough* a good mp3 recorder and some audio program to polish the track*cough*

[Mr. Credible]

seriously? nothing yet?

there's got to be a good bittorrent version of the movie out there that someone here has, that they can rip the sound off of. i mean, i don't agree with downloading movies, but i know someone here's got it, and i want that forking song.

[Vartha]

lol I have the Debra Harry version on my putor now too, understand completely, but I've always loved the tune.

[NDX]

I'd like to find the version from Blues Brothers 2000, always liked it.

[Valorman]

This song is sooo good. thank's a lot.

anyone know what song plays at the very end, during the johnny to ghost rider close up before the credits? i'm dying to listen to it again

[NDX]

The song is much better while on the big screen. Much different feel to it with the characters racing across the desert to the song.

[Magneto22]

Helpme Please, im searching this song instrumental on scene of a night to be San Venganca Ghost Rider and Horse Rider.

Thanks.

[webhead731]

Thanks for the Spiderbait version Vartha!!!!

[Vartha]

thank FH, I just grabbed it before the link he posted died.

[Chris Wallace]

I told my wife how some of you guys were ticked about the song not being included. Her reply:
"Then what's the f***in' point of buying the soundtrack?!"

[Vartha]

I know, but at least we got the full song for free.

[Mr Nick]

I played it for a friend and he thought it sounded like the theme tune from the ancient TV show 'Champion the Wonder Horse'.

That doesn't mean he didn't like it, of course.

:woot:

[Vartha]

I've given the link to several friends that loved the new version, and they're in their 60's and are counrty fans.

[spideyboy_1111]

I've given the link to several friends that loved the new version, and they're in their 60's and are counrty fans.

...... 60 year olds listening to this is kinda disturbing

[NDX]

You get used to knowing that music transends any age when you see people as old as my father at hardcore shows kicking little kids into the pit to get pummeled.

[TheWebline]

Hey all, does anyone know what music was used in the scene with the two ghost riders on the way to san binganza (sp?)? I've been listening to the score and none of them sound right and I didn't think it was Spiderbait's version of Ghost Riders in the Sky. All I know is I saw the movie once and I really like that music. Anyone help a guy out?

[spideyboy_1111]

eh... still wierds me out... its not a song i would call "transending" it was bad enough when my dad wanted to buy gwen steffani's new cd and panic! at the disco.... i about cried

[NDX]

I'm just worried that someone wanted to buy Gwen Stefani's cd.

[Mr Nick]

Ah Gwen...

:heart:

[Pilgrim]

Its the spiderbait version of ghost riders in the sky. There is a link for it on this page just scroll down a bit. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265780&page=4

[<Mr.Spider>]

AAAAHHH the Link DIED!!!!!!! Can anyone repost it I MUST have this song!!!!! Please:woot: :woot: :woot:

Anyone else but me and Tempst can you upload the song again at rapidshare?

[Pilgrim]

http://rapidshare.com/files/18488494/_Ghost__Riders_In_The_Sky.mp3.html

Hope that works. Its the same file as before but I had it named differently on my hard-drive.

[Vartha]

HMM me too Thanks pilgrim I was telling someone tonight about the links for the song.

[Vartha]

Ya know, I STILL can't get over the fact that the darned song isn't on the Soundtrack. What a slip up.

[<Mr.Spider>]

Thank You!!!!!! :D:D:D

[Vartha]

...... 60 year olds listening to this is kinda disturbing
not really, they listened to early Rock, and still listen to alot of any new music too.

[spideyboy_1111]

[zer00]

I'm just worried that someone wanted to buy Gwen Stefani's cd.

I'd **** her

granted I'd **** a lot of things

Just wanting to thank FlameHead for originally providing a link, and everyone else who kept it going.

[Mr. Credible]

I'd **** her

granted I'd **** a lot of things


would you **** a glove full of jelly?


sorry, it's just that i so rarely get to ask that question, and i saw the oppurtunity. :yay:


anyways, i have a habit of listening to this song on my way to places that i want to act cool in (bars, parties, etc...) and i think it works, too. also, if you dig this version, check out the version by the 'outlaws', too... it's pretty good.

[Mr. Credible]

Just wanting to thank FlameHead for originally providing a link, and everyone else who kept it going.


i second that. appreciate it, guys. i would have said thanks before, but i was too busy looking in the paper for used choppers for sale, and trying to find a practical way to light my head on fire. :cwink:

[fire>everything]

:whatever: Soundtrack? Ah gezz. Be better off just making up your own version! Download a few different renditions of ‘Ghost Riders in the sky’ (Spiderbait, REM, Marshall Tucker Band, Johnny Cash, Ventures, The blues Brothers, there’s more out there..) add in maybe two or so of the official soundtrack’s, throw in the two songs from the teaser/trailer (The Island Awaits You and the other, I think, With Great Power(?)) and then maybe some Ozzy!...and the carpenters…?
Anyways, what I did. Sold a few copies to my friends-they liked it more so. =P
Not that the soundtrack totally sucks or anything, but it should have had at least the spiderbait version…but nope.

[Vartha]

Yeah that really stinks that Spiderbait's version isn't on the sound track.
YOU HAVE THE BLUE'S BROTHERS VERSION!?! We can't seem to find it except on Ytube.

[NDX]

Help Vartha and I out. We've been looking for that for a while now.

[NDX]

Actually we're looking for the Blue Brothers version, but it's nice to see that Spiderbait has their cover for download on their myspace page. No more rapidsharing, etc.

[spideyboy_1111]

the blue's brothers version is easy to find on limewire

[crazy sock]

heres a blues brothers myspace,no songs, but has a bunch of vids on there of em either singing or parts from the movies. theres one vid of the part from blues bros 2000 when they sing ghost riders in the sky http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=155502384
i searched all kinds of diff ways to try n find the blues bros.2000 version on myspace music and nada.

[Chris Wallace]

Other songd i wish they'd included:
Highway To Hell
Bad To The Bone
Speed Demon

I have the Blues brothers version, if anyone would like it. Maybe I can send it to you via e-mail? I'm still a n00b at this site...and almost everything else internet.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

What is the disc like 100 megs or is it just one of those songs continuously covered?

[Vartha]

Dang I'll have to download the Cash version later I've reached my limit at rapidshare.

[Vartha]

What is the disc like 100 megs or is it just one of those songs continuously covered?
700megs/80minutes is the disc, so far there's 5versions on the disc not counting the Cash and Tucker versions.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Think this is Cash's version.

"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" is a country and cowboy-style song. It was written on June 5, 1948 by Stan Jones. [1] A number of versions were also [[crossover hit]s] on the pop charts in 1949.

Also Sesame Street Had the Dirtiest town in the west. Where A marshall came to show the townsfolk how to clean their town. The song features the same melody as the original Ghost Riders in the sky.



The song is about a cowboy who has a vision of red-eyed, fire-breathing cattle thundering across the sky, being chased by the ghosts of damned cowboys. One warns him that if he does not change his ways he will be doomed to join them, forever "trying to catch the Devil's herd across the endless skies." More than fifty different artists have recorded versions of this classic. Charting versions were recorded by Vaughn Monroe (with orchestra and vocal quartet), by Bing Crosby (with the Ken Darby Singers), and by Burl Ives. Other contemporary versions were recorded by Peggy Lee (with the Jud Conlon Singers), and by Spike Jones and his City Slickers, with the most recent version of the song being performed by Spiderbait, for the 2007 movie Ghost Rider.

[Vartha]

ooOOOoo was expecting Ventures and REM when I got back lol this could be better. lol thanks again!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

What I have in order is:
Vaughn 1949
spike jones 1949
duane 1966
Cash 1979
Marshall tucker 1981
Deborah Harry 1998
Blues Bro.s 2000
Me first and the Gimmes 2006
Spiderbait 2006

Isn't Spiderbait's version technically 2007?

[Vartha]

Well I'm not sure U.M.M., I thought they had recorded it in 2006, I could be wrong.
As for the Nazrene version, I think I'll leave that one off the cd, it's a nice find, but not really THAT great.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

well you can shoot a movie like Epic Movie in 2006 but it's the release date ie 2007.

I think its the same for music :confused:

Well whatever year it is, it should be last IMO

[Vartha]

Yeah Spiderbaits is the newest version, the Gimme's version did come out last year.

[fire>everything]

[Vartha]

COOL Thanks again Fire! I'll have something to listen to tonight at work lol

[fire>everything]

Welcome. And I now have something to listen to in my govn't class. Score!

[Vartha]

Well the problem of the type of Music Nazrene plays is it sounds like they mix english and german, and even most group don't sing that kind of metal too well. I've rarely understood a death metal band :D

[fire>everything]

Ah, well, I feel the same way you do then. I'll stick to Pantera or Slayer if I want anything like that.
I'm still curious of how the Sodom version sounds, but to the looks of things, it might be a while before I find it. Oh well.
