fwiw I knew he was German, was just saying that I didn’t know he was actually super cool. When I picture “classical music composer” I definitely don’t picture a guy with his shirt unbuttoned jamming out on an electric guitar.
Well look up any of his concerts, like playing his songs from Interstellar, and you will see that this guy is legit and cool. Regarding his profession at least.
Seeing hams Zimmer live ranks alongside the fragile tour NIN and classic slayer as of the best live experiences I've ever had. If he comes anywhere near you it's well worth the cost and trip.
Don't be late, all HZ concerts I've been to started right on time (except for one World of Hans Zimmer, but that's a different thing, without Hans running it). And Hans was later making fun of people who he has seen walking in late if they're sitting somewhere close to stage, lol.
I know this comment is four days old but I had to give more than an upvote because of how much I agree with you that Zimmer, Fragile/Downward Spiral era NIN and Slayer (I’d add Echoes era Foo’s and Gilmore as Pink Floyd) are my top live experiences of all time.
I've never seen Gilmore but I bet that was amazing. I did Roger doing the wall in Amsterdam and I've seen the foos a whole bunch of times starting with 1x1, I honestly think they just keep getting better live. I haven't seen them since Taylor passed though.
On a related note: Lorne Balfe was actually credited for the score of MW2 while Hans Zimmer was only credited for the main themes. IIRC Lorne Balfe was a part of Hans Zimmer's production studio so I'm sure they were both listed as producers on the project overall.
I've only ever watched them on a screen and they're some of the most cinematic and entertaining few hours I've ever seen, I'd love to see one in person. Thought his involvement was fantastic
Zimmer has been composing amazing soundtracks for a long time. Honestly, anything he does is beautiful, evocative, exciting. And I missed all of it. Maybe youtube caught it 🤞
Probably because Hans Zimmer isn’t classically trained. He never studied music composition at a snooty university or conservatory. He got his start as a synth player in rock bands before beginning to experiment with composition.
I didn't know Hans Zimmer nationality, people learn stuff everyday.
I think that it's fair to comment that Hans Zimmer is not Austrian when he's doing the Austrian national anthem. People who don't know can easily assume that he was Austrian.
I've been saying for a while that some one or some country needs to jazz up the idea of a national anthem. They're all so boring and old. This performance had a real vibe, what a groove.
Has anybody got a copy of the video he did for sky sports opener , it was his commentary over a video, kind of like a montage. It was epic , want to see it again
The technology that F1 has... just wow. Close mic'ed drum sounds without a single mic or
a mic cable being visible, hell, the drummers won't even have to play in time and it still comes out perfect.
Being partly a classical musician, I don't like downgrading to the simplicity of pop music, symphonic pieces such as "Land der Berge" and I did not enjoy it. It should stay classy.
