Theme of the Week #4 - Iron Man/Mark I/Driving With the Top Down

Track Title: Iron Man/Mark I/Driving With the Top Down
Movie: Iron Man
Composer(s): Ramin Djawadi
Theme of the Week: October 26, 2008
Ramin Djawadi is widely regarded as a protege of Hans Zimmer's. He was assistant composer to Zimmer on board the "Batman Begins" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" soundtracks.
Normally, Djawadi likes to see the entire cut of a film or episode before he begins work on a score, but he was such a huge Iron Man fan that he began work on it after he saw the trailer.
Hard guitar riffs were of heavy influence to this score to emphasize Iron Man's character. The early motif in this track is known as the "Bad Ass Theme" by Djawadi-- Emphasizing the hard exterior of both Iron Man and Tony Stark. It's used when Stark is building and dawning the Iron Man suit. The theme slowly evolves into the flight theme which takes place when Stark is testing the Mark II and fleeing F-22 fighter jets.
Tom Morello, of Rage Against the Machine, contributed much of the guitar riffs heard in the film.

Man, the movie that started it all *sigh* the good ol’ days

[@alexiscastro3733]

*SIgh* when Iron Man came out in theaters, I was 6 years old and honestly, I looked down on superhero movies since the only ones I knew about were Daredevil and some lame Batman tv shows. Now, I am freakin HYPED for Marvel and I absolutely FLIP out whenever a new Marvel movie comes out. Now, at you ready for it? INFINITY WAR IS COMING TO RULE THE WORLD BOX OFFICE AND WE SHALL ALL PRAISE ITS GLORY

the one that started everything

[@benevolentzombie4515]

tbh this is better than brian tyler's more generic super hero music for iron man 3

[@goji253]

I loved both. In general, I have a feeling that Iron Man and the GotG (well maybe now Spidey too) have the most memorable score when it comes to instrumentals.

[@shashwat9007]

Awesome!

TheMarionick No, it is mark 1

[@Frankie1622]

I don't know, I think the theme for Iron Man would be "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath...

[@themesoftheweek3190]

+AnAsianGeek FX Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" is not a musical cue intended for a motion picture. It is a song written long before this film was put in production. It is not part of a film score.

[@Frankie1622]

Sorry I meant it to be a half joke. I didn't mean for you to have taken it seriously. Although the song does work
