"Eye of the Tiger"
Anyone else notice how much different this song sounds in the movie than it does when played on the radio? Different singer?
shareI asked some dude about this on youtube who uploaded the movie version. He told me that they used a demo of the song for the film, which was less polished but much more raw and had a much faster tempo. The official release you hear on radio & mtv was basically a re-recording, more refined and sharp, but lacking the intensity of the demo.
If you watched this movie on PAL (europe) it sounded even faster than the ntsc (usa) version.
Incredible fuckin song, btw. Summed up the tone of the film.
Thanks for the info.
Yes, GREAT song. Perfect for the movie.
But I think I like the radio version better.
You're welcome.
You probably know that Sly wanted Queen's 'Another Bites the Dust' as the film's theme but they said no. Thank god as that song sucks compared to what Survivor (an underrated band) came up with. It really is a perfect song both for the Rocky character and the film's story. You hear that song and feel the kick ass-ness of Rocky III. They're intertwined.
Both versions are great. You don't really notice the difference between both versions unless you watch the movie a lot. Being from Europe, I always thought the faster tempo was down to the PAL/NTSC difference, which makes all songs slightly different.
