Duel of the Fates vs. Battle of Heroes

Post by Jack Bauer »

Which do you like best? Or if its neither, please specify your favorite.

I must say, I like Battle of Heroes more. It has more staying power in my opinion. Its always on repeat on my playlist.

You do realise that there is no need to perform 'ghetto edits' in a forum that still retains personal editing of one's posts?

"Battle of the Heroes" rips off "Duel of the Fates'" cock and shoves it down its throat. It just simply owns the previous song.

"Duel of the Fates". I dunno, but there's nothing like hearing a choir singing in Sanskrit to heat the blood...

I got goosebumps when I heard Duel of the Fates, it still has that effect on me.

Battle of Heroes? not so much.

Duel of the Fates, though Battle of the Heroes isn't too far behind.

The PT has easily owned the OT in that category. Far cooler lightsaber duel music. :)

I love Duel of the Fates, but I also loved the final duels at the end of RotS to the point that it far surpassed Maul's encounter with two Jedi. Palpatine Vs. Yoda, Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan, it was simply too good for words and the music using cues from previous tracks was great.

Duel of the Fates, mostly because I think Battle of the Heroes is new, and I don't find it sticking with me like Duel. Plus, I think Duel just fits a Jedi battle scene better.

EDIT: Of course, the Imperial March will forever be the top dog in my book.

Duel of the Fates

Oh, does anyone know the name of the track that plays during Palpatine declaring the formation of the Empire?

Battle of the Heros just hit a note for me.

Fates is still good, and I think it was used best in ROTS

The Battle of the Heroes.

However, I personally think that the Throne Room theme is by far one of JW's best works, even more so than the Imperial March. Of course, the ROTS credit sequence has a simply awesome new version of it.

Is there any place it can be downloaded legally? Or must I buy the soundtrack or song off iTunes?

Duel of the Fates by far. Battle of the Heroes is just 'meh' to me.

Battle of the Heroes. I actually like the less specific use of the chorus in it as opposed to Duel of the Fates' individual words and lyrics.

DoF does it for me, when it's on, it's ass whipping time. BoH is very powerful too, just in a different way.
