Ah man, hell no :( The music in DOOM was such a huge influence on me. I had the Macintosh version which IIRC had the .mid files alongside the game, so I hung onto those and listened to them outside of the game quite frequently. I was just a kid at the time, and later on when I discovered bands like Pantera, Slayer, Judas Priest etc. I suddenly "got" all the references (not previously having known they were references/iterations on those bands' songs)! Great memories. RIP \m/

NEDM, Prince.

The sound of Doom was a big part of why it was so immersive, and everyone focuses on the mobs and gunshots (there's some pretty cool positional audio for the time), but the music really played a big part of the whole atmosphere.

Loss of an absolute legend.

One of my favorite videos (and songs) sang by Bobby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w3yoIOK-9U (Eat Your Vegetables)

RIP. You will be missed Bobby.

Today I learned that he also did (all of?) the sound effects for Doom.

RIP (and tear)

I've been teaching my students for years about sound and music, and I always showcase Bobby Prince's work. Here's a fun clip of him playing in the early days: https://youtu.be/9w3yoIOK-9U?is=alZLs2OSL8pJ7JEQ

RIP Legend.

Neat that just last month the Library of Congress added the Doom soundtrack to its registry too

Pulled out my guitar to play the Duke Nukem theme and At Doom's Gate (...uh, minus those runs...)

Hell put in a special petition to heaven to at least borrow him for a bit—not to torture him, mind, but to retain him to score their official soundtrack.

At Doom's Gate has been stuck in my head for decades. RIP.

RIP Legend.

F.
