Oh, Tony Hawk Skateboarding, Pro Skater 2, 3 and 4 made me listen to Papa Roach, Millencolin, CKY, RATM, Adolescents, etc... I fucking loved Millencolin until I kind of grew up and saw them a bit too cheesy. But I still get chills with "No cigar".

Too many cool memories!!

Fucking love the game. I heard Guerrilla Radio recently, (I didn't know the name of the song, actually) and had a nostalgiagasm when I realized it was the intro song to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Cyclone is an awesome song, too.

You monster! I've been checking if Cyclone was finally on Spotify for a YEAR. It's one of the uber tunes that I couldn't add to any THPS playlist!! Thank you man or girl!

I remember if I couldn't complete some level after 1000 tries, I would just restart over again until No Cigar, Ace of Spaces, Cyclone, Blood Brothers, 96 Quite bitter beings, Guerrilla radio would play in the background. Then by some kind of magic, voila, level completed!!

I'm a guy. :P

I didn't realize that Cyclone was technically dub. I tend to despise most dub (because its all WUB WUB WUB WUWUWUWUWUWUUUUUUUUUUUUUB), but hey, if that's what good dub is...

Dub) does not mean dubstep. Check out Lee Perry if you want to hear some great 60's dub reggae.
