This is the pinnacle of music production. Every musician wants 2 sound like this these days and they should. I wanna buy a crotch rocket and put this album on my ipod and just drive and pretend im driving my sega into my parents Zenith like I done for days in the 90s. Fuck
Redwood Forest has been a constant brainworm in my head for nearly 29 years now... Nice to hear the original again... My internal version was pretty accurate though...
"Grass Valley" wins on nostalgia. Killer track and takes me back to rolling through the 16-bit hills chasing down Viper, being careful not to bump or upset Natasha. "Pacific Coast" \m/ \m/. But, damn, "Redwood Forest" is the best of the best. LOVE this soundtrack. Decades later. The FIRST video game I ever purchased at full retail. Sears. Remember that transaction to this day. Road Rash has, does, and always will hold a very special place in my heart.
grass valley has a certain melancholy to it. Beautiful track. I loved how the racers reacted to you at the end of the race, a bit of RPG elements in a racing game was pretty wild at the time. I also remember getting this game after stupidly asking my mom for Mario Lemiuex hockey she bought me Road Rash as I was playing it like crazy at my older sister's house. Mom made the right choice. Road Rash ruled and the music still kicks ass enough that we're featuring it on our VGM music show today
When I was sick with influenza in 199x sleeping on the couch in my living room, hallucinating while awake, my younger brother was playing this all the time and those byorrrrrr noises were messing with me.
The break at 07:47 in Sierra Nevada is absolutely incredible. Thanks for uploading one of my favourite soundtracks across any gaming console/platform :)
3D scrolling track, real time sprite scaling, killer soundtrack, and loads of fun. This game was a revelation of what a true 16 bit entertainment system could do. Oh yes, and no "extra chips" on the cartridge.
@Metalchip1989 Even that, FX2 cant compre with Sega Virtual Processor. SEGA was years ahead in 3D hardware. For instance, Daytona USA is 1993 game and Sega Rally is 1994 game. Playstation 3 and XBox 360 had equivalent port of Daytona USA almost 20 years after.
To this day I can't accept that the song was made in just 3 channels of sound from the Mega Drive soundchip. The sound complexity makes it seem like it uses more sound channels.
Hiya! I have recently remade the full Road Rash 2 score on my channel and had a few suggestions for Road Rash 1 as well, would you say you prefer the first one over the second in terms of music?
@@DeanHarrisComposer Wow that's incredible!! I definitely prefer the first one over the second as far as the tracks go. (Both are great) But the songs in this first soundtrack are much more memorable for me. They also have a certain "Twang" to them like others suggest... Redwood Forest and Palm Desert are my favorites. I will definitely be checking out your remakes!
@@colbymannino5339 Thanks Colby! I know what you mean about the "Twang" I wonder if its even possible to remake them without losing that original vibe? Or perhaps people dont want that, maybe they want just the song covered but leave out some of the harsh elements!? I think I definitely need to give them more of a listen! :)
@@DeanHarrisComposer You did an Amazing job on the road rash 2 remake, and you found the twang in the Hawaii song!! I have faith, you got this! Stay true to the twang :)
Road Rash is a motorcycle racing video game series by Electronic Arts in which the player participates in violent, illegal street races. Yeah. But that Natasha tho...
Yeah totally agree. The drums loops are incredible. They sound way more technical than any other video game soundtrack of this era. Loads of nice fills and rolls.
Great up. Total funky crunchy stuff! Moar Hubbard and Bartlow, please. Loved EA Genesis music from the first Madden Football and Lakers versus Celtics to the NBA Live stuff and Road Rash series, it was all good.
Nothing beats the Main Theme but the entire soundtrack kicks ass. Best soundtrack of the 16 bit era for me, F-Zero is in there too along with Link To The Past.
A welcome upload. The Mega Drive soundtrack is infinitely better than the Amiga one with more badass, crazier, just more "Road Rash-esque" tunes! Don't care if the title screen music on Amiga has higher quality instrumentations, it still sounds dull & I don't even talk about the in-game tunes where the quality takes a dive due to Amiga's limited amount of sound channels (which also makes for overall inconsistency unlike on Mega Drive).
You think the Amiga one is disappointing? There is a compilation called EA Replay for PSP. It has a lot of EA's old Genesis games from the 90s, including the Road rash trilogy. I was so excited to fire this up (Road Rash on the go!!) Everything is the same, except the soundtrack. There is one generic song for every racing stage in the game, they took all the songs out. Why?? I'm pretty sure there wasn't a copyright issue. It singlehandedly ruined it for me.
@@jblanch3 Didn't know about that! This doesn't make the Amiga soundtrack any less bad but it's a damn joke on its own! I gonna listen to that generic song just out of curiosity but it sure won't make up for removing all the kickass Mega Drive tunes!
I don't know what Ron Hubbard was thinking when he composed these, I like to think this sounds "bad" on purpose, like he wanted to do thrash metal. Thrash metal! On megadrive/genesis! Crazy!!! For me this sounds like motorcycles and rock and roll, 100% percent. I think that's why I keep coming to it. Note that I didn't play this game at the time. Best wishes.
Maaaan!! Playing this with my dad and his best friend getting stoned out taking turns, stereo playing in surround sound on a bad ass stereo, rattling the windows. If I could go back 😩
grass valley and palm desert are the exact same track. Palm desert just has seven seconds of introduction and some extra filler before the loop point, I even looked at the visual wave forms to be sure I wasn't crazy on this one point. I wondered why that was the only music I could remember from this years after being bothered by hearing it constantly while my brother played this years ago; it is in 40% of the stages. Hubbard's tunes here are fine but Bartlow only wanted to use that one dyow noise and theremin effect for whatever reason. Maybe he had a rough deadline that time who knows. Its bass is interesting, though.
They all sound great but Redwood Forest is my favorite. It sounds the most serious and not messing around. Perfect soundtrack for punching a guy off his bike in the 90s.
Shway. This is the only game of the trilogy I don't have, and it's so similar to the other 2 that I haven't played it yet. Saw it at the retro store yesterday and thought of getting it. But went with Timeless adventures of Mickey Mouse instead, and Resident Evil 2 :D
There was no other 3d racing game more fun on SG, than RR game, probly of any console at the time! People played it also NOT nessarly for racing! HILARIOUS action and render, song *Ruled* ✊ the ingame, game was even better then a 3D Spyhunter in the arcade.
Maybe, Road Rash was inspiration for Road & Track: Need For Speed. The both games are similar: you unlock the extensions from same stage and the game became more difficult. And it is same developer, EA. The difference is bikes and cars.
Where do you think the original Road Rashers would be at this point in time? And is there anyone else who thinks Biff was based off Dirk Benedict? He looks like a straight lift.

Rob Hubbard, the man.
its 2020. I would go back to my room in 1990 to be playing this, so fast!
This made me cry!! Take me back yo these times man.. sorry.. he/him
Yep
The game has been realesed 1991. How did you menege to play it 1990 (when T2 was being made)?
Same. My fav Genesis game ever.
I'll hit you with a chain on that split screen brother.
Oh man Pacific Coast is so intense 🔥
Redwood Forest has been a constant brainworm in my head for nearly 29 years now... Nice to hear the original again... My internal version was pretty accurate though...
It never leaves my state of mind. Its amazing.
Totally! Love this one
Soundtrack of my childhood. I really needed this
its 2023. I would go back to my room in 1991 to be playing this, so fast!
12:42 Pacific Coast.
One of the best track on Mega Drive. Mind-blowing.
Came here looking for this song. Stuck in my head to this day. What a time to be alive

Nice comment but you put some double skips in it.
PALM. DESERT. THE 2019 JAM
The greatest album performed by cats.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was real life in the desert cats drink fermented sajuaro cacti juice and have a ball google it

Rob Hubbard is the man and his music was some of the most unique sounding games with what would become his signature sound.
Spent may a night in to the morning hours with these tunes drilling in to head as a child. Those pan pipes at 14:25 are sick!
Those ELECTRONIC PAN PIPES ARE SO SICK
25:08 30 years later i found this OST.. Hidden Gem!
"I" is written with capital letter.
@@ЄвгенійЄвгеній-т6т🏃♂️🚨🚓🤡
remake coming to ps5, pc, xbox, and switch this year boys, im calling it
What a fucking legend for uploading this
All my life I hummed the Palm Desert song. I will never forget it.
To this day I can't accept that the song was made in just 3 channels of sound from the Mega Drive soundchip. The sound complexity makes it seem like it uses more sound channels.
One of, if not the best Video Game soundtrack in existence. Cheers for the upload.

Pacific Coast is probably the Greatest song in Genesis history.
Vermont from RR2 is pretty sweet too.
@TM Films Sorry Road Rash 2.
Yes!!!
Palm desert
@@joshkruger7002 Exactly what I was going to say. Vermont is a fantastic song.
If this isn't the best game soundtrack ever, it's definitely the best among the 16-bit era. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
Road Rash is a motorcycle racing video game series by Electronic Arts in which the player participates in violent, illegal street races.
Yeah. But that Natasha tho...
One of the best soundtracksen to Sega Mega. Still like it after all these years 😍
I’ll never forget watching my brother get the new bikes..fun times
God bless you, I've been looking for this for so long...Thank you very very much
Palm desert é foda demais. A melodia permaneceu na minha cabeça. Cada vez que escuto, volto a 1992.
Mesma coisa comigo brother kkkk boas lembranças da minha época de infância.
I wonder who wrote this. They have an 80s scifi and surfer rock sound yet original. I never heard anything like it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Hubbard
Rob Hubbard, a genius musician.
Best wishes.
Im thinking the band muse nicked their style sound from this !
@@Kernow80 I was playing RR the other day and I had this exact thought, the lead on pacific coast, plus the rhythm.. sounds so much like them
Yeah totally agree. The drums loops are incredible. They sound way more technical than any other video game soundtrack of this era. Loads of nice fills and rolls.
Video game music legend, Rob Hubbard
Great up. Total funky crunchy stuff! Moar Hubbard and Bartlow, please. Loved EA Genesis music from the first Madden Football and Lakers versus Celtics to the NBA Live stuff and Road Rash series, it was all good.
On da coo I put this Playlist on and just let it play while I'm coolin or tryin to get work done. Wish I knew how to ride a bike 🏍
Nothing beats the Main Theme but the entire soundtrack kicks ass. Best soundtrack of the 16 bit era for me, F-Zero is in there too along with Link To The Past.
Obrigado!!!!
Palm desert nunca saiu da minha cabeça!!!
Só quem viveu sabe fala ai meu truta?
Cara, surreal... nenhuma música chiclete pop chega perto. hahaha E o pior, não consigo enjoar.
Soundtrack of my childhood. Palm Desert is a mutherfuckin' jam.
Argh I miss this

the grittiness of the genesis sound chip really gives the music the character it needs for this style of game
Awesome vibrato and modulation on the overdrive guitars
"guitars" lol!
@@reno82 yep, FM guitars
@TM Films Frequency Modulated Guitars.
back in the day, I loved so much Road Rash sountrack I used to be listening to it in my mind while waiting the bus back from the school.
I don't know what Ron Hubbard was thinking when he composed these, I like to think this sounds "bad" on purpose, like he wanted to do thrash metal.
Thrash metal! On megadrive/genesis! Crazy!!!
For me this sounds like motorcycles and rock and roll, 100% percent.
I think that's why I keep coming to it.
Note that I didn't play this game at the time.
Best wishes.
OH MY FUCKING GOD THE MAIN THEME GOES SOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD
Main theme bangs 😂 it does though
19:20 ❤️
You can hear the motorcycle making noises on Sierra Nevada soundtrack, this is genius
I always loved these songs! And this Game. I never quite finished it. So close. I finished the second one.
These games saved me from going to the beach with my mother for many scalding hot summer days and now no skin cancer. Thank you RR
I just discovered this game's OST yesterday, and I was blown away by the main theme. Pacific Coast and Redwood forest are also really good.
redwood just sounds like an extremely badly tuned guitar.
I know its an odd sounding song, but i still like it for some reason.
Masterpiece of a series. I'll always prefer it to the bigger racers of the time like Outrun, F-Zero, and Mario Kart
Brilliant man! Just brilliant upload!
Maaaan!! Playing this with my dad and his best friend getting stoned out taking turns, stereo playing in surround sound on a bad ass stereo, rattling the windows. If I could go back 😩
never cared for redwood forest 20 years ago but now i cant get enough!
My favourite
Prog rock
OMG, it's SOOO good!!!
Pacific Coast is supercool.

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
The best Mega Drive music ever from the best Mega Drive game ever apart from Sonic.
Time machines don't exist yet, but this soundtrack brings me back to the 90's.
Road Rash Rules.
1st tunes like an 80s montage song, banging tunes!
buying a sega again LUL
They all sound great but Redwood Forest is my favorite. It sounds the most serious and not messing around. Perfect soundtrack for punching a guy off his bike in the 90s.
This was one of my favorite games, good times.
12:42 - 😭😭❤️
Wow Redwood Forest sounds like it could be straight out of a Schwarzenegger action movie.
Have you ever played “Terminator 2: The Arcade Game?” The third mission has a similar vibe.
ruclips.net/video/LCexox3M-Kg/видео.html
@@GreenOnion62 wow it's amazing how similar they are!
Sierra Nevada! Oh and Redwood Forest.
This is gold. I couldnt stop dancing.
The Palm Dersert it is the best song of all Road Rash that is a game that has to come back!! PLEASE!!!!
this game kicks ass
AVGN when?
13:15 mais ou menos .. melhor musica .. eu acho 🎉
Sierra Nevada's percussion section always reminds me Amanda Hackey dancing.
Good shit, I can't wait till you upload Road Rash 3 because those tracks are some of the dopest shit ever.
Shit is what you said
Thank you.
Nostalgia viva ❤

This keyboard player rocks
There was no other 3d racing game more fun on SG, than RR game, probly of any console at the time! People played it also NOT nessarly for racing! HILARIOUS action and render, song *Ruled* ✊ the ingame, game was even better then a 3D Spyhunter in the arcade.
Redwood Forrest goes HARD!!!
1:30 how the FUCK is this entire riff here NOT WORTHY of a REMASTER? I WOULD PAY FULL PRICE FOR A REMAKE OF THIS FUCKING GAME
Same dude!
You'll be sure that this will be a kick-ass game by just listening to 0:00 song.
A PAlm Desert é a melhor de todas EVER!!!
Bem fantasmagórico ou lembra o ronco do motor numa rodovia de madrugada muito fria.
Its crazy how terribly generic the second soundtrack is compared to this one. Pure Gold.
I wonder how many people have jammed this while actually flying on a bike.
all the time... in my head.
Yo.
Modern helmet Bluetooth units are a magical thing.
13:56 souds exactly as it made by Muse
I can smell the hot black plastic of the console when I hear this.
You are riding too hard, my friend...
if only Rob Hubbard kept the sampled snare drum within the game music instead of the standard FM thump drum
if they used sampled percussion during the in game tunes with this sound driver, all the voice and SFX would be cut, so...
Show d+.Thank you.
Classic.
13:56 Shit, did I just pick up a cop?! Ohh... nope, just the music.
I would love to hear Iron Maiden do an instrumental cover album of this
Maybe, Road Rash was inspiration for Road & Track: Need For Speed. The both games are similar: you unlock the extensions from same stage and the game became more difficult. And it is same developer, EA. The difference is bikes and cars.
Pacific Coast is what led me to buy a bike in my adulthood
Redwood Forest reminds me of Halo for some reason.
"Redwood forests" are my favourite ones.
