Two things I said recently: a) no more posts about Grand Theft Auto for a while, and b) "music industry wake up", in response to the potential for music within/around games. The former is patently nonsense. As for the latter:

"Rockstar Games and Sony Music Entertainment proudly announce a landmark collaboration to release the soundtrack for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Rockstar Games and Sony Music have joined forces to release seven simultaneous soundtrack albums on October 29th concurrent with the launch of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in the United States. The soundtracks will be released on the Epic Records label."

"The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack albums will be the definitive 80’s music collection, with each album containing musical tracks from one of the numerous radio stations featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Each album will replicate a station from the in-game 1980’s radio FM dial, ranging from Heavy Metal and Soul to Hip-Hop and Pop Ballads. Players will once again have the ability to tune the radio station in every car that they carjack to one of many stations of their choice. The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will feature the largest selection of music ever assembled for a video game with over eighty staggering tracks from artists such as Judas Priest, Blondie, Flock of Seagulls, Kool and the Gang, Hall and Oates, Grandmaster Flash, Cutting Crew and many, many more that span the entire musical spectrum of the period."

    – The song sounds nothing like AC/DC but it’s by Autograph and it’s called ‘Turn On The Radio’
    MCJAY – the song’s by ABC and it’s called ‘Poison Arrow’

  8. What’s the song on VROCK that comes on after the Autograph song? After the cranky Vet comes on and talks to Lazlow?
    Chorus almost sounds like “God lifted me up”, but I know that isn’t right.
    Thanks!

  9. Nevermind. Did some mining and finally found it on some obscure lyrics site.
    Alcatrazz – God Blesses Video
    I love the interweb!!

  10. What is the name of that opera song in one of the gta commercials? It’s sung by a woman in Italian, i think, and it has her hitting this really high note while some cars are shooting and swerving around in the commercial before quieting down for the end.
    Thanks for any help

  11. I was referring to the opera song from the GTA 3 commercial. The song which is played when the car jumps into the air.

    Reply:
    The group that made that song is Quiet Riot, a hair / glam rock band. That’s who made the song “Come On Feel The Noise.”
    Etc.: Animotion made the song “Obsession,” not Thomas Dolby. I remember hearing his song “She Blinded Me With Science” and seeing the video for the first time in the early 80’s on a then-new cable network called MTV.
    Scarface the game / Miami Vice / GTA: Vice City — the 80’s rocked !!!

  20. do anyone know the song on GTA Vice City it goes something like “im missing you every night ohh lord”
