Gran Turismo 5 Intro Song Revealed
Alternative rock band My Chemical Romance has announced that “Planetary (Go!)”, from their upcoming album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, will be featured as the “lead song in the opening cinematic” of Gran Turismo 5. Before you run over to YouTube or anywhere else to preview the song – don’t bother. The album will not be released until November 22, and as of right now, there’s no way to listen to it.
(If you do run over to YouTube – and yes, I know you will – don’t be fooled by the troll who claims to have uploaded “Planetary (Go!)”. As confirmed by our own SolidSnakex and SoundHound, that’s not it.)
Keep in mind that GT intro tunes have always varied by region, so this may or may not be what you’ll hear when you first fire up the game. Here’s a copy of the full press release:
BURBANK, CA–(October 19, 2010) – ”Planetary (GO!),” a track off My Chemical Romance’s upcoming new album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, will be featured as the lead song in the opening cinematic of Sony Playstation’s Gran Turismo® 5 video game, available exclusively on Playstation® 3 this holiday.
“Gran Turismo is one of the most beloved videogame franchises of all time, with fans across the globe,” says My Chemical Romance’s lead singer Gerard Way. “Having a song featured as the lead intro to GT5 allows us to reach fans beyond radio and online and into a totally different platform. We are thrilled that our song is going to be the first thing you hear when you boot up the game.”
My Chemical Romance are currently making waves at Alternative radio with their new single ”Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na),” off Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, which will be released by Reprise Records on November 22nd, 2010. The album was produced by new Warner Bros. Records Chairman Rob Cavallo, who produced MCR’s platinum-selling album The Black Parade as well as albums by Dave Matthews Band, Jawbreaker, and The Goo Goo Dolls, among many others.

The Japanese version will still most probably be Moon Over The Castle. It would be a shame if it wasn’t.
As for MCR, I haven’t really listened to them before. And besides, the song’s not released yet so lets not criticize it before anyone’s heard it. Kaz and his team picked the song anyway for a reason, normally I trust their judgement when it comes to GT since they normally hit the nail on the head with the intro’s.

FAIL…. EPIC FAIL x100000
MCR?!!! Is this a prank or something? They absolutely suck worse than the guys on X Factor! Heres a suggestion for a better song :
Talvin Singh – Vikram The Vampire ( Heavy Rotation Remix )

Kaz is a perfectionist and I believe he knows what he does and why he does it. So I’ll reserve personal judgement on the song till the Game is launched and will most probably try to understand it in context to the footage the intro will show. Which means it will probably be quite good.

They couldn’t have picked a worse band could they?
But at least we have get to play our own music in the game so I can build up a playlist of driving songs :)

I hope the rest of the ost are better than this track..
The soundtrack of GT4 was OK, thankfully we can put our own tracks to listen while we play :) -

As long as this song is absolutely NOTHING LIKE Na, Na, Na Ill be happy, if it is I will be disappointed as that has to be one of the worst songs ever written.

Why not use the GT5 E3 2010 trailer song for the intro instead?????

After the hole “name this song” competition i thought for sure “Soul on Display” would be the opening tune. and definitely much better than MCR though i would prefer a song without words

I hope this song only comes up in the intro of the American version. I want Horse Power to be the European version. :D

I don’t care about that song. Neither i care about the spiders hiding in the dust of my bedroom.
I just want to know the release date of GT5.
So, what will be out first?
Killer instinct 3, Time Splitters 4 or Gt5? -

I would’ve though that a remix of ‘EVERYTHING MUST GO’ by THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS from the original GT would’ve made a much better and nostalgic intro. *sigh*

I’ll second that to the end. That is still the most exciting intro of them all. I absolutely LOVED that song, and the whole build up to the title… Epic. The Cardigans in GT2 was okay. Then they killed it with GT3. GT4 would have been good if they kept the original “Moon Over the Castle” instead of cutting off to Van Halen. Very meh…

@UnkaD013
Moon Over The castle used to always give me goosebumps :)
Van Halen??? Since when were they in GT4? MOTC cuts off to Kasabian – Reason Is Treason

@ SVT
My copy of GT4 here in America definitely cuts to “Panama.”
I’m personally neither +1 or -1 on this MCR deal. I like some of the their songs, and dislike others. Some of the stuff from “Welcome to the Black Parade” was not too bad, like a Queen revival. I know that when I fire that PS3 up and slide the disc in, I’ll get chills no matter what song they play during the opening intro. I’ll watch it several times too. Do I wish they would put MOtC in there? Yes, but I’m not going to let a little song choice ruin my GT5 experience. -

@TTown
Ah! That maybe why then! I’ll let you off, the Euro version cuts to Kasabian.

what about something like this for a change. this song doesnt mess about. :)))

October 20th, 2010 at 12:11 am - #Juan
why change a song that was so prefect for the game!?? Moon Over The Castle should be in EVERY GT game.. I hated when they placed the Lenny Kravitz (Spelling?) song “Are you gonna go my way” as the intro song to GT3 here in the states, while everyone else got “Moon Over The Castle”.. why does Polyphony do that!?? dammit! They just ruined a perfect game… (and it should be perfect this time thanks to the delay).

Europe’s GT3 got a Feeder song. We in the States get screwed all the time by this song changing. I bet this is just in the US…

Unusual choice. Wihtout hearing the actual song thats all i can say.
I hope Feeder are going to be in GT5. Have been in GT since the start
