American Gladiator theme collection

[@nicholaspreston9586]

Everything about this theme is so 90's and I love it.

[@keyabethomas4342]

American Gladiators is one of my favorites in my early childhood growing up years ago!! I think I remember seeing it on fox 5 in 1989-1996 and I loved it so much that brought back memories of the show!!! But I feel the beat is so good and I don’t blame you guys I feel like it’s just an emotional experience!!!!

[@keyabethomas4342]

Mike adamle is a great guy to be around but he’s also a fantastic host!!!!! For real!!!!! I’m so happy that he’s in my life!!!! A real man who loves his family and friends!!!

[@dlopezdlo11]

When you got a 🐐 like bill conti making legendary themes with rocky and American gladiators you know he's a true one

[@tnawcwvictoria]

as well as Dynasty, The Colbys, The Master, Falcon Crest and Cagney & Lacey - The Sharon Gless & Tyne Daly Years In fact, this theme almost reminds me of Cagney & Lacey and Ice & Zap are the Cagney & Lacey of AG

[@rashaunl.patterson6860]

And ABC Primetime live too

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

But imagine what Mike Post would've done if he was called by MGM to do the American Gladiators theme... it would slap harder...

[@trevormarshall8553]

3:58 that guitar gets me amped!

[@mikebarker5783]

I've had this in my head all day and haven't heard it in 30 years. I'm playing this for my kids later. Oh and I'll be playing this on my surround.

[@carsnstuff1344]

geezus this like the perfect afternoon TV throwback

[@vrdragon12]

3:05 That's it for this edition of the American Gladiators. For Larry Csonka, I'm Mike Adamle saying so long from Universal Studios Hollywood

[@jnadle1]

If Cagney and Lacey had gone on for a few more seasons and their theme composer Bill Conti now was the main one at the helm, we could've heard action cues similar to this, usually, during a foot pursuit. And this should've been for Rocky V during a boxing match or during training sessions.

[@erikirmiger6161]

Right. I'm off to the gym.

[@gbhxu]

I remember the show being shown on a British TV station as a filler programme early in the morning. Had to tape it to watch an a respectable hour.

[@smashwhammy]

i wouldn't be surprised if British TV aired the American show as part of the licensing deal that made the British show possible

[@spacemanmonster23]

BEST ACTION/SPORTS COMPETITION, GAME SHOW EVER!!!

[@smashwhammy]

and it seems it's FINALLY getting rebooted in the 2020s, after multiple attempts never made it past the planning stages (Amazon Prime Video picked it up)

[@smashwhammy]

also, while AG would be the best when it came to adults competing... i'd not give the same award for the kids division to Gladiators 2000 (the officially branded kids version with a pre-WOF Ryan Seacrest), but rather say GUTS would be the best action/sports competition for kids (then again, i was a 90s Nick kid)

OMG! I love The horn-less theme! ❤

[@trevormarshall8553]

It pumps me up when I hear it. Gotta play it loud

[@danbuffington889]

Less horny?

[@WolfpackEntertainmentYT]

when we get our reboot, they BETTER use this theme. Not using this one in 2007 was a huge mistake in a long list of them.

[@drewzuhosky6826]

Haven't heard about the reboot going ahead.

[@SymbioteMullet]

​@Drew Zuhosky the UK version of Gladiators got rebooted and didn't do too well, that may have made some watchful eyes prefer to be careful...

[@WolfpackEntertainmentYT]

@@SymbioteMullet US is getting a reboot! Welcome back, AG! Use this theme please.

[@SymbioteMullet]

@@WolfpackEntertainmentYT The UK one got rebooted a second time a few months ago! And they didn't screw it up like last time, too! GLADIATORS FOR EVERYONE!

This theme song helped me grow a pair against bullies

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

How come nobody did a cover for this theme?

[@Oaks64]

Right?? I am searching remixes and can't believe there are none.

[@Rocket1377]

Found one. Only had to wait 8 months for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHa1knxtpLGEd8Usi=Z24R-cPPObdLBwKm

[@smashwhammy]

that reminds me, the UK show's ref died earlier this week www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jqv9dlyxwo

[@pete4ever958]

From Universal Studios Hollywood, this is the American Gladiators

[@JonesDylan874]

Nice work!

[@GeekGameCulture]

Wonder if you have some of the vocal less music that they played during the events from season 5 on. They released a CD containing some of them, but they have some annoying voiceovers, some of them are listed as the wrong event and aren't full tracks (LOVE to hear the full theme they had for The Eliminator) and some aren't even on there like the ones for The Wall and Swingshot (and the ACTUAL one for Breakthru and Conquer since they never had that on the CD, either).You found the Zonk theme, so hopefully we'll see some of those themes be found, too.

[@wschmrdr]

Be nice to even find the soundtrack on these parts....

[@GameShowMike]

I actually had a cassette tape of the music from the show!

[@mvp2307]

Why did they change the Theme in S5? It did not need to fixed!

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

The old theme was dated for 1994. So Metro Goldwyn Mayer executives gave the producers the green light on having an upgrade for the series as the millennium approaches.

[@wschmrdr]

@@shaneharrisnj3484 Seemed more like it had to do with the UK dictating how things should go. Remember the short-lived 10 second rule in Assault?

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

​@@wschmrdrYou are incorrect, buddy.

[@wschmrdr]

@@shaneharrisnj3484 The 10 second rule most certainly did exist; it was referenced in the first couple episodes of the season. Only after Jennifer Tantum hit the target from station 1 but after the 10 seconds had past did they decide to do away with the rule in the US.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

@@wschmrdr I'm talking about the theme song. Remember, I only watched the show for the fucking theme song.

[@80srocknroller]

Co-created by Johnny Ferraro and Dan Carr and I don't understand why Johnny Ferraro did took the credit for the creation of the American Gladiators and Dan Carr didn't! I'll see the two part documentary about the American Gladiators co-produced by ESPN and VICE to verify why

[@GameShowMike]

The original concept for the show was produced at the former Erie Tech High School in Erie, Pennsylvania (where coincidentally, Maria Sansone, who co-hosted the children’s spinoff Gladiators 2000 with Ryan Seacrest was born).

[@mikeray5151]

This should have been Mike Adamle theme in wwe

[@WolfpackEntertainmentYT]

WWE woulda had to pay royalties to bill conti and MGM. and vince didnt like paying for shit.

[@michaelwilson7061]

I agree. This also would be a great theme for Kurt Angle.

[@jacobtoadstool492]

100% agree. But also to Amazon. Since Amazon is now MGM'S parent company.

[@KameWeeb]

That would have been AWESOME! I forgot Mike Adamle was GM of...wasn't it Raw?

Netflix brought me here.

[@FBB87]

Excellent job! Do you plan on adding the event cues from seasons 5-7?

[@ebEliminator]

​ @smashwhammy I have no idea how you would even be able to find stuff like that. I've always wanted clean versions of the event cues and such, the closest thing is the ones from American Gladiators the Music but they have the annoying soundbites from the Gladiators and such.

[@wschmrdr]

@@ebEliminator In this case, it seems like he's piecing it together from the recordings. There may not even be clean ones still available. For example, Wipeout (1988)'s theme song is long lost, but very good.

[@malant2719]

American gladiators the music ost is the closest ur gonna get to event music and even that's annoying as it has adamle and other commentators talking over the music. The music to the events "assault" & "the eliminator" are available on KZbin and other places without interruptions

[@bhratbrat]

There is like one cue that was a news theme in season 7
