Gladiators - Duel with old music

[@crankycolin86]

Was really hoping for these old themes to return, especially the eliminator

[@stuartalexander6587]

Yes, I was saying in work today, why didn't they have the old event tunes like for duel. That tune is so cool and sets the tone and the emotion.

[@andromedaone3640]

Exactly the ITV version had the best music, i have also noticed they have shortened the main theme and i don't think it's Freddi Mercury but that tribute guy the voice is softer. Ime referring to Another One Bites The Dust it doesn't sound like Freddi.

[@rosemountcarcompany1000]

This is just FREAKING AWESOME! This took me right back to the 90s. THIS is how it should have been done! Best piece of editing I’ve ever seen!! Wowser! Goosebumps!!

[@mikecorris8749]

Absolutely top quality hype tune. Love it

[@JStarke2490]

i was watching Gladiators earlier and that is what's missing...thank you for making this!

[@AD-kv9kj]

SO much better. Why's it so difficult for them to get the music rights?

[@rocon86]

Was about to write this comment but you got there 1st. Way way more exciting. The music works brilliantly.

[@Jessica-hl9dw]

Can’t believe how much better this looks with the old music!! Thanks for doing this.

[@danfenna8941]

Absolutely! It deffo missed this. I remember my neck hairs tingling from this in the 90s haha

[@CherylCrotty-r3z]

Omg they so need to bring this music back especially on the eliminator

[@markwebster76]

Oh this so works.

[@gmfmusic85]

Sooo much better! Please, BBC, I hope you're reading the comments of praise for the old music.

[@chriswindle7784]

My God we really miss that music on the new series!! Makes it so much better!!!

[@LawVS]

THANK YOU!

[@S67Snail]

This is so much better, when I saw the intro I got my hopes up and as soon as Duel started and this music didn't start I was beyond disapointed

[@secretcouple1681]

Vastly superior. Great work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@danielhancox8196]

See how much better it is with the old school music!!

[@ashmalkin]

This music needs to be reintroduced in the new series.

[@WhiteEcoFreak]

That's better I hope the BBC are taking notes

[@MrMattmgw]

Send this to the producers!

[@stuartalexander6587]

I said when watching it on Saturday, wheres the tune? Why isnt it playing? Watching that there changed the entite feeling and emotion then with the tune. Big mistakes them not putting in the tunes for the events 😢. Thanks for this video. They need you on editing in the new show!!! 😂

[@Signerdragon123]

Honestly... the overall soundtrack feel here has the complete opposite problem of the 2008 reboot (where there it was overly hyping itself as seriously as possible) as aside from "Another One Bites the Dust" at least being there for Hang Tough and Duel and the Glads getting their own entrance themes, I only feel half as pumped with how mild the OST is. When I catch the next episode live with Iplayer, I'm having my event playlist ready.

[@MattKemp-c5w]

Got to say this, love it!

[@Ma55ey]

It's fun watching the new show with the kids. They love it.. but man it really needs the music to pump up the action...

[@PortlandMan]

I still can't believe they put Giant who's 6'6 and jacked up against a 5'4 man 😂😂😂😂

[@NK22222]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!

[@haunteddeandollsuk]

i miss the 90s version :( they should of kept the 90s music ! and gladiators use to be on ITV followed by blind date with cilla black lol plus jeremy beadles show as well saturdays were so good

[@ScapoloMichael]

Plus Airwolf & Knight Rider

[@Thumper427]

One of the best background themes along with Hang Tough and Eliminator which you've done as well.

[@searchterminatorseed2301]

We need this to return

[@chrisneno1764]

I really enjoyed this new series, but it badly needs the original music!

[@Bossman525]

Is it just me or do others also agree with me on the gladiators of the 90s looking far more intimidating and athletic in comparison to todays modern day series. Shadow looked completely jacked and scary when he was on duel with a aurora of invincibility about him. The same could be said for the likes of Saracen and Cobra on hang tough etc. Also we can say that Wolf looked far more menacing and villainous compared to anyone on the modern reboot.

[@guybrennan5801]

It's much better this way.

[@_D1886]

This reboot is pretty good, but bring back these original themes and it's almost perfect. 👌

[@andromedaone3640]

The original music is more exciting they need to add it for season 2, i can tell however that is not Freddy, it sounds like that tribute guy.

[@keepersofstoriesuntold]

You had the same idea I had lol

[@mclarenguy22]

To be honest, as much as I like the original tracks, I don’t mind the new music, even if it sounds like something out of a Sonic racing game. Still better than the Hollywoody tracks from the Sky One version. Would be interested to heat the new tracks in clean audio.

[@stewartmcminn7773]

How did you get these theme's

[@TheBestbackingtracks]

Where can I get the original tunes?

[@petercolbeysgameshowmania7176]

Wow! That Gladiator was ruthless! Which one was that?

[@Signerdragon123]

The 2024 version of Nitro.

[@petercolbeysgameshowmania7176]

@@Signerdragon123 Wow, Nitro is RUTHLESS on Duel!

[@90sfootballtransport]

Love this but it goes a bit random on 0.39

[@marklewins]

👍👍👍👍

[@garyhamilton1688]

How it should be. I don't know why the BBC have not included the events music. Hopefully they will next series

[@orochimaru0523]

copyright issue probly

[@Andy28548]

​@@orochimaru0523cant see that muff murfin done the theme and they got that

[@orochimaru0523]

yeh they got the rights to that tbh it is kinda sad thy only got the og intro music not events would of loved them to use the wall hang tough duel and original eliminator themes @@Andy28548

[@Invertedzero]

The camera work isnt as good, and the duel stands are too close together

[@JR37000]

This is the only mistake they have made bring the music back

[@Gary85Paul]

The current music sounds like a porn film. It kills any excitement in the events. This is much better.

[@alistairgammond2221]

Ive had 4 weeks of the new glads to think about this, and I have come to the conclusion that personally, the old tracks are fantastic, but they should be left where they are, with two exceptions, Opening theme (which we got) and the Eliminator, both so iconic. That said, I dont hate on the new backing tracks, and I actually quite like the new eliminator one.

[@gladfan1989]

Call me a masochist, but I want to see an episode and form my own opinion. And see how bad this version really is.
