You know ... I love The Touch. I love the original '86 version. I love the version in Saints Row IV (which is probably the Epic Guitar Remix). But this ... this "Power Mix?" This I do not love. Not at all.

 

I give Stan Bush a lot of credit, he's still writing and performing the music he loves, he's not really trying to change to fit what's popular, though a few missteps trying to fit The Touch into the live action movies.

His other songs aren't hitting with a modern audience, that has clearly moved on from that style of fun, cheesy, hard rock. There are still many Transformers fans that still love his music from the movie.

In the end he's not really pushing himself as an artist, but he is doing the style of music he clearly loves.

 

agian AGIAN serously this guy has like one song he keeps re useing he reminds me of the vironicas

 

Simply no words for how epically sad and equally embarrassing this man is.

 

Interesting, yes...

 

Wow... harsh

 

Someone needs to be. I know the turbo-nerds think this clown is cool by nothing more than TF association default, but this guy has been (for years already) the equivalent of one of those 50-60 year old pageant queens who still wear their tiaras and have their house decked out in pink trophies and nothing but shit from the far, far, far past... because it was their ONE moment and they have not and cannot let it go. At this point, I honestly believe Stan Bush sits around in a leather jacket & acid wash jeans watching VHS recordings of Knight Rider, Magnum PI, etc. and listening to old cassette tapes of recorded 80's era radio shows & Bon Jovi pretending it still IS the 80's everyday all the time. And the loser seems to confirm this every friggin second year to "all" 10 of his "fans". It's brutal to keep witnessing.

But... yeah... "The Touch"... gee, what a great song... please keep making updated versions  

 

FOC still kickin' YEAH

 

actuly i agrea though "The Touch" was part of the first transformers movie ever its realy actuly a preety mundain song all in all, then remixing it once in a while and puting transformers to it isnt cool.

Now lets look at what linkin park has given us 3 songs 1 of them made just for a transformers movie.

then next lets look at the humbleing the fall of cybertron trailer song that was epic.


my point is this man here is right 100000% right no way around it at this point

 

That sounds... shitty.

 

I never liked the original too.

 

I get the criticism, but it's not much different than how a lot of us are 30+ grown ups still enthusiastic about and collecting figure/car toys. Why can't we let go, and move on to more 'respectable' adult hobbies?

 

This has been on iTunes for months. Good tracks though.

 

i like the original, and hate this new one

 

Not a fan of this new version, the song works in the 80's because it's light hearted, fun and cheesy, but this version takes itself way to serious.

Though I can't understand how people can complain about Stan Bush not moving on, when we all collect Transformers.

 

True, true... some seem very angry at Stan indeed (?)

Is that what they call nerd rage?

Bought ithe new version on iTunes

 

I'm still waiting for "The Touch: Smooth Jazz Remix" and "The Touch: Bluegrass."

 

Amazing. I don't know how people will react to this, but I would like to hear the 'dubstep' version of the song.

 

Nice.

 

What's with all the whinging? Stan didn't hire himself and force the music into the game. That was High Moons decision.
