To be more precise, when Funimation used those bands they used in the movies and TV specials, was that the first time you had heard those bands or were you aware of them beforehand?
Bands like Disturbed, Deftones, Drowning Pool, Pantera, Dream Theatre, Bootsy Collins with Buckethead etc.
For me, it more than likely was. I certainly don't remember listening to them before stuff like Cooler's Revenge or The History of Trunks.
Bonus Question: For those that were introduced to those bands via DBZ, do you listen to them nowadays?

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
The only bands I heard of before Funi did what they did were Pantera and Disturbed, other than that, I never heard the rest of them before, though I listen to them every now and then.
These five rock songs are the ones I like the most out of all the replacement scores.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Watching Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan at age 13 was my first exposure to those bands since I wasn't much of a music fan until late into my teen years.
I wouldn't say the DBZ movies got me into rock music as I always enjoyed it prior to watching those films but I think it's fair to assume they were influential to my music tastes in some way. I don't tend to listen to those specific bands much anymore as I tired of mainstream stuff like Disturbed years ago but on occasion I do listen to the odd song from that period and reminisce.
EDIT: I just remembered that I vaguely knew about Drowning Pool from watching wrestling pay per view events in the early 2000s. I still didn't bother following or seeking out any of their music at the time though. It wasn't as easy back then as it is today where you can just look up songs on youtube.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
I had already heard of Disturbed, Breaking Point and Drowning Pool before their songs would appear in DBZ movies. But I didn't know about Pantera or ION, so there's a bonus, I guess.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
It was definitely my first experience with them, and for what it's worth, whether they really 'fit' the movies they were in or the series at all...well, I'm kind of thankful they were there, for turning me on to that style of music. Disturbed remains one of my favorite bands to this day.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Well, I'm a black/jamaican dude who grew up in the Bronx, NY... that was probably the ONLY exposure I had to rock/metal/whatever...
I liked the ones in Movie 8 and 10, and some in 4. I really like the song from Dream Theater that played when Future Gohan fought 17 at the amusement park, listen to it still.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
I think by the time I got around to seeing the dubbed movies, I had already seen the fan subbed versions. So I thought it was weird that they replaced the soundtrack with "nu metal" or whatever was "cool" at the time. Personally, I didn't like it.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Never seen any of the movies in English. I've seen maybe one (?) scene from the Trunks TV special that had some metal in it. Can't for the life of me remember who it was, though.
Anyone care to fill me in on what films have this music in it and what the bands/songs are in each? Quite interested to see what was done.

Same here with me, though I'm a Haitian dude and I used to live in Queens until the 5th grade. I remember once in a while I hear some people playing Metallica and Pantera. That was odd for me since hip-hop and rap were mostly the genre most people over there listen to.DarkPrince_92 wrote:Well, I'm a black/jamaican dude who grew up in the Bronx, NY... that was probably the ONLY exposure I had to rock/metal/whatever....

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Watching the Dragon Ball Z FUNi dub movies back in the early 2000s was my first exposure to stuff like Drowning Pool/Disturbed/Deftones/insert nu metal act. I was pretty young when i saw those movies so i wrote all those bands off as awful death metal or whatever (obviously in reality those bands aren't even close to death metal, or to some even metal at all). Years later i got into some of those bands, but i rarely find myself listening to them nowadays. Out of all the bands used the ones i ended up listening to most were probably Mudvayne, Pantera and Deftones. A few of the bands FUNi used were actually quite obscure/underground and never managed to break into the mainstream, so it wouldn't surprise me if people never listened to some of them again

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Also the same with me 'cept my ethnicity's closer to DarkPrince_92 (mixed), I grew up in Hartford, CT (and still live there), and add reggae and jazz into the mix. The first rock song (aside from the Budokai soundtrack and Rock The Dragon) I heard was when I was 8 and didn't even know what rock/metal was 'till much later but I'm up for anything now (though I rarely listen to standalone rock/metal these days) as long as it's good.EXBadguy wrote:Same here with me, though I'm a Haitian dude and I used to live in Queens until the 5th grade.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
Was movie 5 the only one where they had messed up on the mixing of the rock songs or did it happen to the other movies?
Disturbed's 'The Game' is just horrible in the double features compared to the original single release.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
I really don't like metal at all (goes without saying that I don't listen to it on my own time), but for the first Broly movie, where it's basically Broly smashing people's heads against walls for 90 minutes, I can't think of any other music more appropriate.
On a semi-related note, I just beat the Final Fantasy X remaster on the PS3, and that metal track that plays during the final boss battle is so fucking intense in the context of that particular fight. They play it at the start of the game too (didn't really fit though), but I'd forgotten about it, so when it came on again, I was like this is the greatest game music ever. Similar thing with Broly (and the other movies to a lesser extent), but nothing tops that track.
EDIT: Some of those tracks people posted I didn't completely hate listening to them on their own, maybe because they reminded me of the awesomeness of the first Broly movie.

Re: FUNI using rock bands = Your first exposure?
My first exposure? The Lord Slug movie, with music placement so awful and unfitting, that it was like I was watching an over-glorified AMV, except with the dialogue intact. And then the music placement got a bit better in Cooler's Revenge, but, even still, none of it even held a candle to Team Faulconer, my definitive score for the series.

I forgot that I had made that list! Glad to have helped in that particular instance. 
As for the thread at hand: yes, the FUNi dub versions of those movies were the first exposure I had to those bands. The only one I might have heard of beforehand was Disturbed, and that was because a lot of kids in my school listened to them. However, I didn't listen to them until I watched those movies.
The only one of those bands I still listen to is Dream Theater, which is now my all-time favorite band. I actually found out Dream Theater through a Dragon Ball Z AMV back in late 2008/early 2009, but I think I did see History of Trunks on TV before that. Back then, I didn't know that that was Dream Theater that was used in that TV special though.
I also remember liking the Slow Roosevelt songs in the first Broly movie, but I never listened to any other songs by them.
