Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 will not include Anthrax and Public Enemy’s legendary duet Bring the Noise, as its one of five songs from the original two titles that Activision couldn’t secure for the remaster. Every other track, however – including Superman by Goldfinger and Blood Brothers by Papa Roach – will be included.
Here’s the full soundtrack, as revealed on Twitter, and available on Spotify now:
- Police Truck by the Dead Kennedys
- Superman by Goldfinger
- Jerry Was a Race Car Driver by Primus

The five songs missing include:
- Cyco Vision by Suicidal Tendencies
- Committed by Unsane
- Bring the Noise by Anthrax & Public Enemy
- B-Boy Document '99 by The High & Mighty
- Out with the Old by Alley Life
It’s worth mentioning that both Vilified by Evenrude and Screamer by Speedealer are included in the game, but don’t appear as part of the abovementioned Spotify playlist as they’re not currently available on the streaming platform. Are you happy with the music selection? Pop shove-it in the comments section below.

No B-Boy Document is a massive blow for me 😫 I lived on Rawkus Records back then.
Superman and Bring the Noise are the two songs that come into my head when I think back to those games. Shame about Bring the Noise, but still great they managed to sort out the majority.
It was no mean feat to get as many songs as they did for this, so it's not an issue far as I'm concerned.
Since there missing pair of headphones and blast it while you play or Spotify it if you can and it's in there
Yeah, I wouldn't have expected every track to come back, licenses for that stuff can be a pain so it's great they got as much as they did.
Impressive that they got as much as they did.
Got my preorder in! Cant wait for this
Not to be a stickler, but typo... Papa roach not roah**
I'm happy most of the old songs will be returning. These songs helped turn me onto music in general. Man I miss the old days.....
Well it's a good effort. This is such a key part of the games, and I'm surprised they got as much as they did. Interesting to see if they'll replace the songs with something else. Not a deal breaker, but I'm certainly a little disappointed about this
I know it's a remake so it kinda makes sense for them to be whatever old songs they could get but I was also hoping for something new here along the same kind of genres that the game is known for.
One of the great things about the early Tony Hawk games was discovering new music and obviously everyone who's a fan of the series already knows these songs inside out.
Hitler bad
Vandels good.
The two that ill miss are suicidal and the anthrax ones.
@roe The THPS5 soundtrack is god-awful so honestly I’d prefer at least songs I remember.
@nessisonett That's more just the case of a bad soundtrack though imo. There are plenty of other "new" songs they could've chosen
Awww what? AND Out With The Old? Those were 2 of my favourites.
@LocalPenguin Forgot about this one, also a good track.
There will hardly be any licensing from Public Enemy in the near future. From what Roxanne Shante said on her show "Have A Nice Day," Chuck D wanted to perform at Bernie Sanders rallies and Flavor Flav doesn't... Flavor Flav did not want to endorse any candidate.
Out With The Old is one of my favorite songs on the original soundtracks, that's a pity.
I had you by bad religion on repeat pretty much the whole time. If the game isn't a glitchy mess it's gonna be awesome.
As long as they still had Jerry was a Racecar Driver, the rest is gravy for me.
It's missing Le hot Grand unified from the PAL release.
Superman was the first to come to my mind so glad that's back. Loved those sorts of games back in the day but dunno if I'd find it frustrating now.
Disappointing. That's the best song from these games
Doubt Anthrax would refuse so I wonder why, PE maybe?
you're telling me they can't let you add your own music?
Powerman 5000 is... a choice... Was that song in the original soundtrack?!
@viciousarcanum I think money, money, money.
Good reminder to go physical for this game.
I'm surprised they got this many. I assumed they'd just update it with more modern songs like Fall Out Boy or whatever it is you kids listen to these days
Could you play the songs from the old games on Spotify on PS4 whilst playing the game, and those songs would overrule the soundtrack of the game, as it were? Just a thought?
I own ten of the albums from those tracks..
I’m slightly surprised they haven’t gone for an updated playlist (or maybe even an option to have the old or a new one) but I guess they’re going all in on the nostalgia value.
It was kind of weird to have different music on the phone version they released a few years ago though.
Huh. I didn't realise Dieselboy had a track on the game. Admittedly, he wasn't on my radar until many years after I played the games but his stuff is great. Particularly Dungeon Masters Guide and Rise of the Humans.
