Jim Johnston first interview after WWE release

[Amor fati]

Listening to this episode now

Its really good

Got goosebumps when he was playing the rough draft of Takers theme

At which part of the podcast?

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

He also mentioned in the interview that he has to start from scratch because WWE doesn’t have credits like most TV shows so people in the music and TV industry don’t know him. You’d think Vince would at least give him a recommendation.

all this bullshyt they do to get into Hollywood and try to get mainstream attention and they don't have this

 

[mrken12]

Hold on Sean Mooney has a podcast? Who else in the biz got a podcast?

It would probably be easier to name the people who don't have podcasts.

I'm listening on the podcast app on roku so it doesn't have a timestamp. It shows its almost halfway

I had to youtube his theme after listening and found this

This person killed it

So beautiful

 

[cozy carl]

this man is the goat just off the strength of the first Jericho theme.

I would love to know how he came up with such piff. :kellywow:

 

[ColiBomaye]

Hard times is when a man has worked at a job thirty years, they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say "Hey, CFO$ took your place, daddy!"

I noticed it when I watched Summerslam 90'. shyt was

I think some of the current themes are good, but I agree alot of them are aso really generic. Take Seth Rollins. Dude is a main event level cat, but you could give his theme to anyone on the roster. There's nothing about it that you could specifically associate with Seth. Which, if you look at past main eventers and their themes, should be criminal. Rock, Austin, Taker, Jericho, Angle. All have themes that speak to exactly who their characters are as people.

And I liked how he kept the same melody for wrestlers their whole career but reworked it for their character. Like every single one of Rock's themes can be traced back to his second Rocky maivia theme for example:



Then he mixed it with the Nation theme to get this:







And a song was born. It becomes clearer with the Hollywood Rock theme:

 

[GreenGrass]

If I were a well known enough rapper, I'd go into the studio with dude and crank out an entire album. Have that mug going all sorts of direction musically...yet still be catchy. Accolades and awards later, he'll end up being the next super producer, or Scott Storch or some shyt

i don't know about that that i see him as a Bruce Faulconer type of person.
John Johnston can do hip hop / rap for sure. he should be reserved for the veterans only as he needs no introduction to that world.
i would vote for that DMX collabo

 

[Da_Eggman]

I'm sure he made a shyt load of money in his time there

 

[Ku$h Parker]

CFO$ better get it while the gettin is good
