listening to all the unused Doom music by Bobby Prince and a lot of it is ... quite literally just... friggin midi covers of existing songs hahaha
like, there's a lotta alice in chains stuff. Like, Barrels O' Fun from Doom 2 was just... VEEERYYY similar to AIC's "Dem Bones", but one of the unused tracks is ... literally just Dem Bones. verbatim. not even TRYING to disguise it hahaha.
@Nine most of the unused was legit placeholders or done on purpose so the team would agree to make the soundtrack NOT just rock & metal midis
@LANthus Realtalk though, some of the released OG Doom music is real good. Like Dark Halls is a friggin moody and tense track that really sounds amazing even in Midi.
There's a bunch of Soundgarden tracks Bobby Prince just transcribed to midi as well (even ona roland though the midi version of Rusty Chain by Soundgarden is pretty painful rofl)
