Dragon Ball GT Composer 🐉 Mark Menza! 💥

[@VentureOnMedia]

It’s too bad there was never an official soundtrack for GT released! Really loved his work!

[@AnimeAdventures]

He will love hearing that! I love the GT music.

[@George-zk4nv]

@@AnimeAdventures You can find all that on Spotify.

[@mgstation]

@@AnimeAdventures I started to watch GT with Japanese background music and I was really disappointed, And then later I found out that I can switch to USA Menza version and it was the greatest soundtrack ever 👍

[@VEwRaAve]

@@mgstation I agree, I just went through the entire Dragon Ball franchise in the last few months, and I kid you not my FAVORITE part was watching GT with the Mark Menza music. It gets WAAAAAY more hate than it deserves from all the purists... I just feel like the dark/apocalyptic vibe suited GT so much more than the upbeat Japanese music. It is a real shame that GT will most likely never be formally recognized again due to the purists.

[@lonewolfgamingplus379]

I grew with Mark and Bruce's music but man Mark knocks it out of the park each time I watch the movies especially Return of Cooler. That SSJ theme is just iconic. I get goosebumps and maybe or may not get a bit teary eye.

[@trevorhoward1008]

You aren't kidding, Mark Menza is a musical genius

[@gespenst1329]

What didn't you like about GT's music? It's not like Z where it was written by a composer mainly from the 60's & 70's to sound like music from those eras.

[@likeyunswerving]

Get this guy on Dragon Ball Super

[@gespenst1329]

Fat chance. You'd have better luck trying to get Kenji Yamamoto on it.

[@mattlee7210]

Hello Elise and welcome back with another episode of anime adventures!!!👋 . I've always enjoyed and appreciated watching Dragonball GT, the music was something I've always felt had it's own taste and I appreciated it aswell. Mark is an amazing guy and definitely enjoyed hearing him talk and breakdown the music energy that went into Dragonball GT.❤️

[@AnimeAdventures]

Hey Matt! Thank you! I enjoyed the music, and especially loved hearing Mark talk about his process. 🐉🔥

[@ultimaweapon6]

I loved his gt soundtrack. Keep making great videos :)

[@anthonyperez6740]

Yoooo coda I found a comments you left on a video for the first time in my life I found your comment on the GT composer interview!!!

[@ultimaweapon6]

@@anthonyperez6740 yoooo no way! Whooo

[@anthonyperez6740]

@ultimaweapon6 I wanted to watch this with her doing this interview and then I saw your comment, and I'm like, no way, it's you. BTW thank you for making this video haha I know your voice really well cuz of pan 😄

[@Spiderotter]

The Syn Shenron theme was awesome, Especially when it's pitched down and longer for episode 62.

[@foxboxarchives2059]

So that's the real Mark Menza? :D

[@elisebaughman]

Yes, the real Mark Menza! 🔥

[@aavila1206]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ELISE. I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ANOUT ASKING YOU TO FIND MENZA YESTERDAY. THIS IS SO AWESOME. 🤯🤯🤯

[@George-zk4nv]

I want to echo what you said about you thinking about asking Elise to find a composer because I actually asked Elise this question too. Uh.. it’s about me asking her what music she might cite as her favorite and what genres she loved when she was a kid because since she interviewed the previous composer, that was an amazing experience because I love it when she interviews people like that. So I want her to look back at the question I asked her about so that I can tell her my story.

@@AnimeAdventures What was that for?

[@indepth9930]

I’ve never actually seen what he looked like, his music has been mostly underrated, I really enjoyed his work! I’d love for more people to appreciate it! This interview was really informative!

[@asherzerbib3461]

The GT music gets kind of a bad rap, but I don’t know. I find myself humming the theme every now and then and have to admit it was pretty good for what it was. Watching it on Toonami late at night back in the day was pretty fun.

[@Chaosic]

Thank you Ms.Baughman for interviewing Menza I really the dark and depressing tone for the music for Dragon Ball Gt.

[@fabiansanchez10000]

One of my favorite parts of GT was the theme song. Reminiscent of Bruce Faulconer's sound track with the electric guitars but different enough to stand out. Good times

[@nickthegamerguy270]

I love gt music and his heard work can he make more music 🎶 like the villain's

[@GabeNwagbala]

YAY!

[@AnimeAdventures]

Yay!!!

[@hollybremer4252]

I love GT!

[@leoprince691]

I admittedly had my issues with the GT score, but I still liked it fine enough. Been a while since you talked to someone from GT. Great to see new episodes of these. Another cool interview.

[@AnimeAdventures]

It was fun talking to Mark! He's so talented in MANY areas, and such a great guy. And thank you - I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the interviews. :)

[@George-zk4nv]

@@AnimeAdventures I am too.

[@FogHazard]

Still wish he or Funi would release the American GT soundtrack.

[@gespenst1329]

Only one of those can, but definitely not going to happen. (Just like the international GT soundtrack itself.)

[@alisonhowell31]

Love the interviews!

[@likeyunswerving]

This is awesome

[@mercenary1106]

Broly might be one of the greatest movie ost he’s made in my opinion

[@Vripen]

Could you ask him to release the omega/syn shenron theme? Im sorry to be a bother but i love that song and all we have is the DVD rip so could you? Please?

[@gespenst1329]

Out of his hands, not possible.

[@gespenst1329]

What he said in the 2nd chapter is proof that the decision of the executives to replace the soundtracks had absolutely nothing to do with quality, but instead they only did it to make an extra buck off of their distorted versions of these series (and for cheap, too). Not to mention the vapid trend chasing that was the basis of the decision, which is _actually_ anachronistic where the series is concerned (superimposing early 2000's trends on a mid 90's production).

[@Nice_Person7379]

At this point gt needs to be recreated

[@kendalberry9058]

Elise, Did you not wear a mask because your tested for covid?

[@AnimeAdventures]

I wore a mask the whole weekend at Kameha Con 3 (last July), and only took it off for interviews and panels. All of my guests were vaccinated and we were more distanced than it looks on camera.

[@kendalberry9058]

@@AnimeAdventures Okay. Also, did wearing a Mask annoy you?

[@sumdood8563]

While I personally prefer the Japanese version of GT, your channel has given me a huge amount of respect for the dub that I otherwise wouldn't have. Quick question: will you be returning to voice Pan for the English dub of DBS: SH?

[@CplDwayneHicks11]

This Man Sabotaged The GT Japanese Soundtrack! How could anyone ever think the Super Saiyan 4 Theme is a "place not to go there!". Yeah Mark Menza said this directly with the Funimation suits! Took away the Rock licensed soundtrack after Broly: Second Coming! Come on unforgivable you gave Bojack a boring beat during his death scene! Never getting GT & Original Dragonball on Blu Ray at all!

@@kazi1 Never thought so. I found out that the man himself wasn’t as mid as people thought he was (watching the movies as well as OG DB should make that clear), but it was the placement choices, the editing, and the pacing, which were handled by entirely different people.
