Hans Zimmer to rework Saudi national anthem
Hans Zimmer to rework Saudi national anthem | The Express Tribune
Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer just branched out into unchartered territory.
🎵 …and the bone saw’s red glare
the screams filling the air
the sawing of limbs
and the blood everywhere
O say does that bonesaw in hand yet wave?… 🎵
He does have a very Hans-off approach to writing music.
Ooh baby a triple pun
Sad to see a great composer who really doesn't need the money, take money from a brutal suppressive dynasty to make something that will make said dynasty look good
Even Eminem went dick riding and sucking saudi dictatorship for money. Jennifer Lo went stripping in her mid 50s there, + so many othera as well. 99.99999% of Hollowyood celebs and influencers turn into cheap spinless hypocrite sellout money whores when offered a saudi check
Didn’t Vince McMahon sell a bunch of yearly shows to Saudi Arabia? I used to love me some old school wrestling till i realized what a creepo he was
didn't they already sell out by going to Hollywood in the first place...?
I thought the guy was honourable.
From what I can tell, it seems like he takes credit for most of the work of his protégés. See: the DaVinci Code Soundtrack, for which he only wrote the main theme, or the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, for which... You guessed it, he only wrote the main theme.
I used to really like the guy...
I’ve always heard he’s kinda of a dick to work with
The dude makes music. This is a paycheck. You are overthinking things.
He gonna reuse the dune theme 😂
I wonder how he’s gonna include the part about slavery and misogyny
"I'm going for more of an 80s pop vibe."
Wow, well, fuck that guy ... shame
He gonna thread in the Islamofascism, Human Slavery, and Misogyny?
Hard not to when rejecting a fantastic offer from MBS could end in an assassination. I'm interested in seeing how the West handles this loose cannon.
He evidently does need the money, huh...
I would be down for a national anthem that sounded like a movie trailer. Opens with BWAAAAHMMMMM. Then another. Then narrator in a grisled and wise voice starts in, "We're not a good country. We've done horrible things." BWAAAAAHMMMMMM!
"Uncharted"
Weird news!
I always fucking knew this guy was a fucking hack. Fuck Hans zimmer.
what
How much you think they're paying him?
Oof. Well, for his sake I hope he gets it right 🪚
Typo. It should have said Jan Hammer.
Uh, just that he's awesome?!
Rearrange Crockett's Theme using my culture's traditional instruments so that I can make people play it whenever I arrive at social gatherings.
After reading the article it sounds much less oniony. He was hired to make a new arrangement of the existing anthem, not compose a new one.
A new arrangement of an existing anthem is literally what rework means.
People from countries that just enabled a genocide being hypocritical about Saudi Arabia in the comments.
I really can’t wait for the West to stop being so dominant.
You don't think saudi arabia also enables genocide? wow.
In Gaza? You are probably referring to Yemen and no international body be it ICC or ICJ declared it a genocide as far as I know.
War crimes have been committed, and they happened with US support, as Saudi Arabia was fighting Iranian proxies on their behalf and with their weapons.
Now would the responses here be the same if the anthem in question was the US’s, or Germany’s or the UK’s?
We got it wrong. We should make a "non-boycott" list of people who aren't assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.
Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.
Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.
I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction
Huh, I guess Brian Eno wasn't available.
So, Costco and who else?
I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government...
Tom Morello is based as hell
Costco made their CEO a multi-billionaire, that means billions of dollars that could have stayed in the customers' pockets or that could have been redistributed to all employees.
I've heard Dave Grohl is pretty ok?
I sincerely doubt that there is a way to determine which behaviours/beliefs are good or bad. I, for example, doubt that I will get a rating of "good" beyond 75% (educated guess).
Honestly, my standards for "good" behavior for corporations are astoundingly low; just don't be bigoted, don't actively wreck the planet, and don't kill people.
And yet most of them can't even manage that.
I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language
[source]
I'm not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump's language, so long as it's aimed at countries y'all dislike, and so long as it fits y'all's agenda
Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.
I have never been to KSA so I'll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He's just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is "Trump's language"
Racism and bigotry towards: Arabs, Chinese and Russians is still acceptable. They get to decide who is okay and not-okay.
