They all have a meaning though. TBOGT puts you in the eyes of the rich man running every business in Liberty City so you see everything at a new light. TLAD and IV you start from the bottom.
@@bluecloves9523now that I think about it they kind of tried to do it again with 5 but it just doesn’t hit the same since you play as all 3 together. With 4 having its main story and the 2 dlc connect to the main story makes for better story telling imo.
I always hoped for Luis to come back in future games but after seeing what happened to Johnny I like to imagine he just settled down after what happened with Tony eventually leaving for Los Santos.
shoutout to my grandpa 🕊 who bought me this game the og gta 4 and the dlc's tbogt and tlad on the 360. Although gta 4 was a dark and sinister video game all i can remember is laughter,happiness, and smiles with my friends, i miss those years so much damn.
it's sad that the Xbox 360 servers shut down earlier when I posted this, but I remember playing gta tbogt so much since the Xbox 360 was the only console my parents could afford for me other than the Wii, but I have so many memories of this game, the nights my dad and I would stay up just to play this and see how much wanted stars we can get, good times. R.I.P Xbox 360
I was too young to buy this game, but my older cousin had it. Whenever I would sleep over, we would run this game for houuurrrss. His mom would call us to come eat or do something, pause the game, come running back to the room with this playing. Then we’d just sit and listen. Damn how time flys. We paying bills and dont have time for games now. Cherish your youth my friends, and have fun in the moment. These are the fun times you will remember, you just dont know it yet.
The more upbeat yet still dark brother of IV and TLAD. Really encapsulates the game perfectly. This pause music is the embodiment of optimism in spite of bad things happening.
GTA IV is my #1 favorite game and I love TLAD too, but man those stories are dark and depressing af 🤣 I always enjoyed how TBOGT was basically a little more light hearted version of GTA IV.
They all compliment each other very well. Niko’s story being the most neutral toned, TLAD the most dark, and arguably sad. But TBoGT redeems the depressive feelings you get from the other two, and leaves you feeling like everything might be alright. Love em all
Nostalgia Summer 2012 A cool night with the window open Paused the game to take a little break Had a midnight snack Watched minecraft videos on my laptop that was on its last legs
this shit hits different at 3am, after spending a whole day hanging around with friends. i'm finally here, in my bed, dazed and sleepy, enjoying a moment of happy loneliness. high school's over, the summer's almost over. now i'm going to start a new chapter of my life. time will go on, and this sensation of freedom is going to be more and more difficult to experience: i'm growing up. but i'm living the emotion, and i love it. life is such a gift.

Rockstar ain't creating something like that in the future again It was perfection and now they can't perfect it again thanks for remastering and making a clearer version of one of the best music in the entire series I still wonder why I feel nostalgic even though I started playing it last year

@@KHPKero I've read that in another comment, really a shame. I wanted to play the game just because of this theme (although I "want" for like 4-5 years already). Hope there's a way to bring it back in
Funfact : Actually these menu themes start playing while player health is low in missions but R* deleted it. I can imagen this like Luis feel dizzy and screen is blury. Also you can hear at part 5:17 heart beats theme.
I remember playing this back in 2010 on my 360. Man those were some good days. Falling asleep to this felt like I was in heaven and angels were watching over me. Take me back.
2010 was a golden year man 9th Grade, 360/PS3/Wii, Halo Reach, Black Ops, Taio Cruz Dynamite, Usher OMG, Obama, Final Fantasy XIII, Xbox Live Gold, iPhone 4, Phillip DeFranco, =3 with Ray William Johnson, Gran Turismo 5, early android smartphones like HTC and Sony Xperia, the Palm Pre, PS3 slim, PSP GO, Playstation Home, Wiz Khalifa Black and Yellow, Glee, Jersey Shore, Pitbull, I could go on forever. Pure nostalgia!
I remembered this theme bc back when this game was released my uncle good rest his soul bought it for me a gift bc i always wanted to get one. And now i’m crying.
I recommend checking it out. It’s really fun, and you’ll get to experience something that we used experienced in the past. Better late than never, as they say. :)
Nice job, whenever I hear this theme it brings me back to the good old days when I used to play this game everyday after school on my PS3, just having fun. I still play this game from time to time, just not as often as I used to
I remember this along with all the other episodes and like infamous being my childhood ps3 going into preteens classics that were stand out tittles for the time lol
Same here even though the online server on ps3 are mostly dead I wish they did like some type of reunions where the PS3 servers would be jumping with the classic games we had fun playing call of duty gta 4 etc and for once with out modders
dude, this remastered work is just GOLD, its like an ASMR music, so relaxing, i would listen this every time i get stressed, this literally chilled me out so good, amazing job, keep it going

High school first GF Cars from the 90s still common GTA 4 hanging out with mates the late 2000s ( 2008-2013ish ) was the best times never to come back BUT never to forget
i have a really strange but memorable memory with this music: there was this girl i used to chat (like really long ago), and we were like kinda next to each other, but since this was just an internet thing and the fact she never come to the region i lived, we never really met in person, and slowly bit surely our relationship died. i remember listening to this song while i talked to her, the many times were we just got along and enjoyed each other. we end on good terms despite that, she even followed me on instagram and i guess she is married nowadays.
I have never played EFLC. Today, I have installed it, for the first time in ever. Once I'm done with the main story and Biker story, I will dive into this. The funny thing is? I have never played it, but this tune sings "soul-crushing early 2010 nostalgia" like nothing else. I fully resonate with people who have fond memories of TboGt. Soon, I will have my own.
Been looking for this lost treasure ever since my step dad broke my ps3 around 10 years ago . He broke many things in my life but now I found something I though lost a long time ago . Thanks Rockstar
I feel like TBoGT is the only happy GTA that takes place in Liberty City. I spent my early childhood years playing GTA IV, and when I was finally able to play TBoGT in 2023, I was amazed. The colors, the new weapons, the storyline, the character, the location, the atmosphere. Way happier than GTA IV and TLaD. And introduced many new things as well, like parachute jumping, that was present in San Andreas but not in IV. Not to mention the helicopter with integrated Machine Guns, the golden Uzi, and the song "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo on the Radio, that was added. Yes, TBoGT is difficult (I had to use cheats) but still, it is a really fun game, it doesn't even feel like a Liberty City game, but more like Vice City, or GTA 5. And Luis is so cool. I, to this day, still believe that the Niko Johnny Luis trio is the best trio in Media. The peak of Rockstar Games. But not only the peak of Rockstar Games, but other companies too. In 2009, Pokémon HeartGold came out, in the same year as GTA TBoGT. One year later, Pokémon Black and Mario Galaxy 2 would come out. Late 00s and early 10s is just a magical period for gaming of all types. And I feel like almost any console and game peaked back in that same period. I to this day still play both TLaD and TBoGT. I still remember the phrases said by Luis after you completed a Drug War : "see you later degenerates". Or "behave". TBoGT elevated IV to even more perfection. Second best GTA game of all time imo
Those were some good times. Not even talking about nostalgia-- the late 2000s/early 2010s weren't perfect, but they hit that sweet spot of technological advancements and innovation/creativity working together. People were still trying out new things because they could. They weren't trying to fit into the homogenous standards where everything is the same for maximum profit. I miss it.
I from Türkiye and as a last studen from hight school I always listened this song while studying for University exam. Now I won University which I wanted. And when playing this song, I always feel nostalgia for no reason. This song means lot to me…
God makes me feel old as hell. This was when I first moved out of my parents house into an apartment with my best friend, we stayed up all night playing this shit online and had 3 jobs trying to survive and keep gas in my ‘87 lifted full-size Bronco. Man, those were the days!
I remember playing this game. My brother borrowed PS3 console from his friend and I played this for a month. I was 17. I was the only girl from my class who loved videogamimg. 😊 Good times
@@edensky5825 that time I had a ps2 I was always wanted ps3 but my parents back then they didn't care well I got now but it's not the same felling If I got it when I was kid
I just acquired a PS3 and I’m playing this game once again, it’s like I’m living back in 2009 once again. So nostalgic, Episodes of Liberty City (GTA4, Ballad of Gay Tony, & Lost&Damned) will be one of the best Rockstar games of all time. GTA V can’t come close to this.
Crazy to think that at a younger age we all paused this game, heard this song and fell in love with this song and are here now sharing an experience. Crazy how time flies.
Most atmospheric GTA theme, by far, takes me to 2008-2013 best times ever, we were content and happy we just didn't know, post covid and I hope I can live like these times again
As much as I appreciated the gritty and serious tone from GTA IV, after how depressing TLAD was it was nice to get TBoGT which was all about the party. GTA IV is still my overall favorite of the franchise. To those who miss the days of online, there are guides on Steam to restoring multiplayer to the Complete Edition, people still play online
I remember the Times when i used to play TBoGT so late into the Night, i would get sleepy, and eventually fall asleep to these beats, not even in a bad way, i was happy and had Fun.
Feels like only yesterday I was on the XBOX 360 playing this! Listening to it now takes me back to a time when everything was so sweet and life was better⭐️
Respect to u for posting this ..this brings back good memories bro✊😁..I remember pausing this game every now and then just to listen to this background music... that's how much I rocked with it✊
life was so much better around this time everyone young Xbox 360 was the biggest system ever and GTA 4 becomes HD with graphics we thought was good back than simple times I’ll always have love for this game ❤
Back in 93 I met a girl at RainBo skating rink here in Chicago named DJ. She was from Spain and was only here for a month and every weekend we would meet up at the roller rink until she went back home. For that month that was one of the best times of my life and DJ wherever you are now know that I'm still walking...hope you are too.
I hear this and instantly wanna cry, knowing that the memories and the way life was back then cannot be relived. Thank you, Rockstar Games, for molding my childhood with the Grand Theft Auto franchise! The music always makes the games 10 times more memorable and epic. ❤
nothing like playing this game on summer of 2018 and pausing the game just to appreciate this beauty on menu.. what a shame they cutted out this on PC version
This was the greatest time of my life. College, fraternity, baby boy, budding relationship with my gf (now wife), family doing well, little brother who looks up to me, in shape....man this nostalgia hits HARD.
I remember playing this game in a foreign land and I used to take my mind off everything with this game and one day I hit pause …my god is this what it feels like to fall into reality or to slip out of 19 with multiple addictions on top of disorders I wasn’t meant to be here now and if it wasn’t for music and shit like this I really wouldn’t be here…who wouldn’t want to live and experience this euphoria?…
Damn as I read these comments I’m truly truly glad I’m not the only one who feels this sound in his soul. I instantly remembered them old days when I used to be in school as well. That era was something else. Seems corny af but this menu music is always gana be special to me.

Not to mention the helicopter with integrated Machine Guns, the golden Uzi, and the song "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo on the Radio, that was added. Yes, TBoGT is difficult (I had to use cheats) but still, it is a really fun game, it doesn't even feel like a Liberty City game, but more like Vice City, or GTA 5. And Luis is so cool. I, to this day, still believe that the Niko Johnny Luis trio is the best trio in Media. The peak of Rockstar Games. But not only the peak of Rockstar Games, but other companies too. In 2009, Pokémon HeartGold came out, in the same year as GTA TBoGT. One year later, Pokémon Black and Mario Galaxy 2 would come out. Late 00s and early 10s is just a magical period for gaming of all types. And I feel like almost any console and game peaked back in that same period. I to this day still play both TLaD and TBoGT. I still remember the phrases said by Luis after you completed a Drug War : "see you later degenerates". Or "behave". TBoGT elevated IV to even more perfection. Second best GTA game of all time imo
You know ball. Pkmn Gen 3-5, GTA IV, the old CODs and Bethesda RPGs… undeniable
I'm having a fever and am working right now. This music is like a lucid dream to me. Calming.
The amount of times this song helped me to fall asleep when I was a kid, now it’s just a reminder of simpler and more beautiful times
This is what people in heaven hear
I love this pause menu theme so much, even the voices are clean, great job man!👍🏻
This takes me 11 years back, me playing it in those old winter days, it's snowing now, that's how I remembered this and that's why I'm here.
Those were some good times. Not even talking about nostalgia-- the late 2000s/early 2010s weren't perfect, but they hit that sweet spot of technological advancements and innovation/creativity working together. People were still trying out new things because they could. They weren't trying to fit into the homogenous standards where everything is the same for maximum profit.
I miss it.
I from Türkiye and as a last studen from hight school I always listened this song while studying for University exam. Now I won University which I wanted. And when playing this song, I always feel nostalgia for no reason. This song means lot to me…
God makes me feel old as hell. This was when I first moved out of my parents house into an apartment with my best friend, we stayed up all night playing this shit online and had 3 jobs trying to survive and keep gas in my ‘87 lifted full-size Bronco. Man, those were the days!

It's 5AM as I'm reading this.
POV: You fell asleep in 2009 playing GTA IV
Man I miss this so much! Make me feel young again, gta 4 was fun with endless memories and playing for hours.
falling asleep to this might just be the best feeling ever
Such a great relaxing music to put your Baby to sleep! 😴😴😴😴
Good tutorial :D
I hope gta 6 makes something similar like this
Like a heavenly synthwaveish but calming soothing vibe as well

Good Times

Crazy to think this was released only 3-4 years before GTA V, it will probably be at least 11 years since V that we will get another game.
I remember playing this game. My brother borrowed PS3 console from his friend and I played this for a month. I was 17. I was the only girl from my class who loved videogamimg. 😊
Good times
How old are u now?

Man this thing sent me back 10 years
I just acquired a PS3 and I’m playing this game once again, it’s like I’m living back in 2009 once again. So nostalgic, Episodes of Liberty City (GTA4, Ballad of Gay Tony, & Lost&Damned) will be one of the best Rockstar games of all time. GTA V can’t come close to this.
Crazy to think that at a younger age we all paused this game, heard this song and fell in love with this song and are here now sharing an experience. Crazy how time flies.
Most atmospheric GTA theme, by far, takes me to 2008-2013 best times ever, we were content and happy we just didn't know, post covid and I hope I can live like these times again
What memories I really loved this DLC may my cousin's xbox 360 arcade rest in peace, the first one who let me play this great game
yesterday i cried and listened to this for motivation :(
Beautiful, the nostalgia gives me chills
This song makes me emotional 😢
As much as I appreciated the gritty and serious tone from GTA IV, after how depressing TLAD was it was nice to get TBoGT which was all about the party. GTA IV is still my overall favorite of the franchise.
To those who miss the days of online, there are guides on Steam to restoring multiplayer to the Complete Edition, people still play online
This was the first pause menu maybe even music in game that I just chilled out to. I was 10.
7:19 my favourite
This pause menu theme plays after your last day of school
Things hurt back then, a lot of heart break now I have a son on the way. Escaped the city.
@@drsrsv8884 he had a kid in LC and he just moved to Los santos he mean
Time goes by too quickly 😢
This game... Fuck its like im a fan of all the gta on the series but iv fuck man its like my best memories
I remember the Times when i used to play TBoGT so late into the Night, i would get sleepy, and eventually fall asleep to these beats, not even in a bad way, i was happy and had Fun.
Feels like only yesterday I was on the XBOX 360 playing this! Listening to it now takes me back to a time when everything was so sweet and life was better⭐️
For some reason the Steam version of TBOGT has the GTA IV theme in the pause menu
Really? I thought mine was bugged or something
@@juanbanuelos8663 they mean the new version of GTA IV: Complete Edition, which was released in February of 2020

Respect to u for posting this ..this brings back good memories bro✊😁..I remember pausing this game every now and then just to listen to this background music... that's how much I rocked with it✊
I still remember that in 2012 I played this great game...
life was so much better around this time everyone young Xbox 360 was the biggest system ever and GTA 4 becomes HD with graphics we thought was good back than
simple times I’ll always have love for this game ❤
Back in 93 I met a girl at RainBo skating rink here in Chicago named DJ. She was from Spain and was only here for a month and every weekend we would meet up at the roller rink until she went back home. For that month that was one of the best times of my life and DJ wherever you are now know that I'm still walking...hope you are too.
I hear this and instantly wanna cry, knowing that the memories and the way life was back then cannot be relived. Thank you, Rockstar Games, for molding my childhood with the Grand Theft Auto franchise! The music always makes the games 10 times more memorable and epic. ❤
nothing like playing this game on summer of 2018 and pausing the game just to appreciate this beauty on menu..
what a shame they cutted out this on PC version
Damn, I'm really addicted to it.
I like this so much! Nice remastered! 👍
I haven’t heard this for years. I think I ended up playing Ballad of Gay Tony more than the main game.
You take a deep breath...
and you keep on walkin'.
take me back to when i just bought the ps3 and this game...
This was the greatest time of my life. College, fraternity, baby boy, budding relationship with my gf (now wife), family doing well, little brother who looks up to me, in shape....man this nostalgia hits HARD.
I remember playing this game in a foreign land and I used to take my mind off everything with this game and one day I hit pause …my god is this what it feels like to fall into reality or to slip out of
19 with multiple addictions on top of disorders I wasn’t meant to be here now and if it wasn’t for music and shit like this I really wouldn’t be here…who wouldn’t want to live and experience this euphoria?…
A powerful track of nostalgia and emotion, feels like "pausing" life itself ^^
Here is why i love small content creators
I miss hearing this on my Xbox 360 brings back memories. Sad that the PC version doesn't play this anymore.
you can bring it back with some community patches, hope you find what you need=3
@@muneebrehman6288 it did originally but they removed it in a update about 2 years ago.
Damn as I read these comments I’m truly truly glad I’m not the only one who feels this sound in his soul. I instantly remembered them old days when I used to be in school as well. That era was something else. Seems corny af but this menu music is always gana be special to me.
