PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change the theme music for rifftrax, as well as that closing chord after "Rifftrax: some movies have it coming" while you're at it. Though the original wasn't anything special, it wasn't anywhere near as grating and annoying as the current replacement. I wince less at Kevin's puns than I do that mess of a musical intro (no offense to the musician who doodled it out. I know you meant well enough).I've been trying to wait it out since you first began using it, but now I feel I should remind you that you were probably thinking it was time for a change anyways. Right? It doesn't have to be catchy or anything, just something a little easier to deal with after repeated listening. Thank you kindly for your consideration.

Yeah, I hate the intro song as well. Way too blaring and trying too hard to be "hip to the young people". Especially as it starts out so quickly on the tracks. I have a really hard time believing that this is what Mike, Kevin and Bill like to listen to.

I loved the original music.

I just splice it out when I do my DVD reauthoring 8)

The closing chord is the only part that really bothers me. The opening music I rarely hear much because I keep my speakers low then turn them up after I start the track, but the closing chord in the copyright spiel always seems too loud and jarring. I try and turn it off as soon as Mike is saying his last line.

They should have some cheesy lounge music or something. Maybe get Richard Cheese to create a little Rifftrax ditty for the intro an outro.

I could live with the music as is if it didn't blast out so much as others have said - make it slightly lower than the spoken recording or something.  Even the announcer who says "Rifftrax - some movies have it coming" sounds louder than the guys.

Yeah, it's not actually the music (for me) it's that horrible blarring noise at the beginning of it.

Get the RiffTones in. They're awesome.

The best thing about the DVDs is that the menu screens have orginal songs inspired by the movie.  It's great!

Just wanted to say I have no complaints with any of the music.

Agreed.  I still find it hard to believe anyone thought the current theme music was better than all of the contest submissions.
