Tony Hawk Defends ‘Pro Skater 3+4’ Soundtrack Amid Backlash

Tony Hawk has valiantly come to the defense of the iconic soundtrack for 'Pro Skater 3+4', in the face of recent backlash from nostalgic fans. The skateboarding legend took to social media to reject criticism of the beloved playlist, which features classic tracks from the likes of Motorhead, CKY, and The Ramones.

Hawk's impassioned defence of the soundtrack comes after some fans expressed disappointment with the omission of certain songs from the remastered versions of the games. Despite the controversy, Hawk remains resolute in his support for the original soundtrack, which he personally curated for the games.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Hawk explained that licensing restrictions and other logistical hurdles prevented certain songs from being included in the remastered editions. He urged fans to appreciate the soundtrack for what it is, rather than focusing on what it isn't.

The soundtrack for 'Pro Skater 3+4' has long been praised for its eclectic mix of punk, rock, and hip-hop tracks, which perfectly captured the rebellious spirit of skateboarding culture in the early 2000s. Songs like "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead and "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000 became instant anthems for gamers and skaters alike.

Despite the passage of time, the soundtrack continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans who grew up playing the games. Its energy and attitude are a testament to the enduring legacy of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, which revolutionized the sports gaming genre and left an indelible mark on pop culture.

So, while some may lament the absence of certain songs from the remastered editions of 'Pro Skater 3+4', let's not forget the impact that the original soundtrack had on a generation of gamers and skaters. As Tony Hawk himself would say, "Go big or go home!"
