Crush 40!

[Tails]

Hey everyone. Tails(2258) here. I thought I'd take this moment to generate discussion relating to Crush 40, the band started by Jun Senoue and Johnny Gioeli. Since Crush 40's music are frequently appearing in Sonic's later titles, I figured everyone would have something to say about this excellent band.

Here's a complete list of the songs that were created by Crush 40....

Please Note: Some songs were created back when the band was called Sons of Angels. Additionally, songs on the list that aren't accompanied with an "Crush 40 & (artist name goes here)" were sung by Johnny Gioeli. If a song listed below reads "v1" or "v2", that means the song was featured in either SA1 or SA2, respectively.

Last year when I emailed Jun Senoue he said that Crush 40 was making a new CD. I've looked everywhere and I have yet to see one. Is there? Or could something have coming up thus having Crush 40 not come out with a new CD.

^___^ I love Crush 40. I lot of my friends do as well. O.o Tails, only 3 stars for the Gunnar Nelson one. xD I love the Nelsons. I can't get enough of the song, but I need to get the Sonic Heroes Soundtrack in order to listen to it again. xD Hopefully my friend will come through with buying the CD.

~_+ I miss Crush 40, now you made me wanna listen to them again damnit.

Oooh! There is this band called "Hardline II" or something like that (i can't quite remember) And its of Johnny Gioeli, with some other members from other bands. Im trying to remember if Gioeli's brother is in the band. Anwyway, the CD is called Double Eclispe, but the downside is that it sounds like the Hairball 80's music. Soo.... yeah. xDD Duh, im stupid I just rememberd that was the CD i got for easter last year.

Hey, you Emailed Jun Senoue, nyiana? Can you tell me how to get in contact with him? I have a few questions for him.

[Xen Zeratul]

It Doesn't Matter (v1) and Believe in Myself (v1). Simple as that.
