American Opening Themes (DBZ)

Post by Great Saiyaman » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:10 pm

I'm not sure if this belongs in here or "Music".

Can someone tell me the names of the American DBZ Opening Themes?

Rock the Dragon was the first one. Don't know about the other two, but if you can find Faulconer's music online somewhere like Amazon, they might have a track listing. I know he did the second theme (starting with season 3), don't know about the third one though.

They tend to not really have actual names.

For example, what we commonly call "Rock the Dragon" is simply called "Main Title" on the CD (same goes with the original DB dub theme, which we typically call "Get That DragonBall!"). I couldn't give even the slightest guess at what Faulconer's theme is called, since I would never own any of those CDs :). Judging by what's listed in the appropriate "Music Database" page, I'm guessing it's the track entitled, "DragonBall Z".

FUNimation's English versions of the DB songs have actual names, though... "Mystical Adventure!" and "I'll Give You Romance!", respectively.

I dunno if this seems off topic, but what about that song done for DBZ Movies 9-11? (12 and 13 are uncertain). Was that song ever documented on a CD? Or at least do we know its name? All I know is that it's done by Mark Menza, which doesn't help much >_<

I believe Faulconer's title theme was called 'Dragonaut' was it not? Tendril did a cover for Movie 8.

Just so you know, jduddy264, necro-posting (posting in a very old, inactive topic) is frowned upon. :)
