[edit] Cleanup
I have added a cleanup tag in this article because it is in bad need of reorganization and categorization. I suggest referring to the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack and Grand Theft Auto 3 soundtrack articles for some guidance. ++ 25 13:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) ++
- Thank you for the cleanup tag (I had a feeling it would be needed), and as I've stared at this article wondering how exactly it should be broken down, I am overcome with the feeling that I'll be unable to do this alone. I had a lot of help on the two articles you mentioned above from SwissCelt and Dragonfly888, respectively, and I was wondering if you would perhaps like to collab on this such project, should you have the time. Currently in my hemisphere, it is 4:02 AM on Independence Day, and I am in dire need of sleep. Perhaps some other time I shall start on the edits, but until then, leave me a post on my talk page (or on this page) and I'll happily answer you. Thanks much in advance and happy July 4, mysekurity 4 July 2005 08:04 (UTC)
[edit] afi
i was under the impression that afi did a cover of nin's "head like a hole" for this soundtrack but i see no mention of it. am i wrong or should there be a mention of it?

- AFI did do a song on the soundtrack but was not featured on the in game radio station. Jobe6 19:52, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WCTR
I figured that since the WCTR 'link' only redirected to that same page, I took it out.--Codenamecuckoo 08:05, September 11, 2005 (UTC
Just as a small suggestion, maybe there could be a Main Article created for the whole WCTR as there is a huge amount of text needed to cover all the info about the station.
[edit] Change in playlist
Anyone know why Woman to Woman was removed in later versions?
[edit] Aeris / Eris
You sure about the "Eris" writing? I think it's "Aeris", equal if Rockstar writes it this way or this way. The most "GTA-people" on the Internet are writing it "Aeris". 213.39.168.118 14:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)-
Its definately Aeries, a take off on Nike. Both are Greek gods... 24.84.50.181 03:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Although that seems fairly logical, on the 8-disc box set Official Soundtrack, the 'Eris' Pump Up Shoes commercial is featured on this soundtrack on the third disc (Bounce FM, track 15). I know this because I have the box set. And title is in fact called "Eris Pump Up Shoes", so why would Rockstar Games mistake this when labelling up the tracks? (20:08, 25 January 2007)
The in-game billboards spell it "Aeries". Best guess on the CD sleeve is that the printers did their usual "oh, they missed an error" and edited the positive when, in fact, there was no error to correct. 203.129.57.194 02:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Another error on Rockstar's end
Nuthin' But A G Thang was probably released after the time period that this game takes place in. Nuthin' But A G Thang's album, The Chronic, came out in December of 1992. The end of GTA:SA takes place during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and those took place in April of 1992. 1ne 05:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Where does the game explicitly mention the LA riots? IIRC these were just in-game riots about specific events with the Los Santos corrupt police force (even if they were inspired by the former). Still, I agree that the game would have to take place exactly in December 1992 (it *was* snowing in liberty city tho). 200.48.20.67 16:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Wher Do U think they got they idea from to put in a South Central (LOS SANTOS) Riot, from LA Riots which atakked South Central Los Angeles, nuthin but a g thang music video realesed in 1993 but the song was recorded in 1992 before December and realesed for radio's there is no sertent date that has been Shown in the Video Game. Next Fiday
- No, the end of the game takes place in an event inspired by the LA riots. Big difference. The Kinslayer 08:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Replaced with White Room
I have the PC version and it's still women to women. I really don't think they ever did that.
[edit] Cock? No It's Cup
"The Crazy Cock - An adult club where the women know how to entertain the men " Some idiot put crazy cock! It's crazy cup! C U P.
Going to change it now. CJP
All done.
[edit] Why is there mentions of songs being sampled?
It seriously holds no relevance to the article. That's why the List of sampled songs article exists. Buzda 20:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- I second this. I think RockStar has gone out of their way to choose songs that were heavily sampled in later years (did so on Vice City also). I don't think this particular list will be up-to-date and maintained, certainly not as much as the List of sampled songs. Dekkerdreyer 17:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Featured in Guitar Hero?
"Most of the songs from both K-DST and Radio X also appear as playable tracks in the Guitar Hero series of games."
This isn't even slightly true. There's maybe four in total which appear in Guitar Hero.
[edit] Number of Commercials
In the game there is a total of 69 commercials. Maybe another Rockstar reference? 200.112.160.54 15:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Do you think that this is just yet another referrence to the 69 sex position, like those coutless 69 cent stores that are plastered all over the SA state and the restricted area?
If so, this should be included in the main article, well the number of commercials at least. Afterall, the other references have been mentioned.
[edit] Shine or Schein?
The commercial Shine by Helmet Shine's title was recently changed to Shine by Helmut Schein. I added the 'Shine by Helmet Shine' commercial to the main list & the extra info at the bottom about the voicing facts which I can easliy back up. But is there anything to back up this change?
[edit] DJ Identities
Obviously each of the 10 musical radio stations feature DJ's, there should be a larger summary paragraph where information can be found describing what these DJ's are like in character, giving someone who hasn't played this game yet or listened to certain station a much better emphasis on what each station is really like. Other than the music, a radio station is depicted by what kind of person the host(s) is/are. It'll just paint a bigger & better picture for everyone.
[edit] K-Rose George Strait or Whitney Shafer
Unless I'm mistaken, The song "All my ex's live in Texas" played on K-Rose is by George Strait not Whitney Shafer. I'm Changing it to George Strait. If you are certain its Whitney Shafer please change it.
Neelakantankk 18:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- According to the instruction manual, the version on K-Rose is by Whitey Shafer (who also co-wrote the song with Lyndia Shafer). Dbam 19:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- My Bad. Thank you for the info. Neelakantankk 12:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
