Looking for two versions of "Snake Eater" Theme Song

Post by Snatcher2047 »

I recently got around to playing the MG series and also recently beat MGS3 : Snake Eater and just happen to love the James Bond-like theme song "Snake Eater". So much so, that I've been trying to find two versions of it that apparently weren't released on CD soundtracks (to my knowledge). They being:

- The acappela version played during the endless ladder climb.
- The version played during the final battle with The Boss.

I've tried various audio ripping programs and have had no luck with finding them on the game disc to rip.

Anyone have these or know an audio ripping program that will work with MGS3? Thanks in advance.

Yes, those two versions are incredible, and indeed they are nowhere to be found to my knowledge.

I was asking the same question myself last night (which is how I found this website, actually; this topic came up when searching).
I couldn't find the version in the last battle (which is a damn shame), but the ladder one is available at this website, in the "Snake Byte" archive. To get it, you have to find a way to extract .tar files; if you're using a mac, there's a program called "The Unarchiver" which you can get from the mac website, if not, there's probably some other way.
As far as I can tell, that site's safe - at least, I downloaded the song from it and haven't gotten infected by anything yet.

Here you go. This is the accapella version of Snake Eater. I couldn't properly record the other track (damn!) Well, enjoy this one at least!

Edit: I hope it's ok that I attached it here....

That's Snake Eater song (instrumental version) and it could be found from MGS3 MAXI single (aka. Snake Eater song from MGS3 -disc). PM me and i can send it to you if you need it. =)

Yeah, the final version is similar to the instrumental in the beginning but it eventually breaks into the vocals at about the two to three minute mark, making it an interesting mix. I'm sure the only reason I know that is because I suck enough at CQC in MGS3 that it took me that long to beat Boss for the vocals to kick in. LOL I'm gonna see about playing through the game again and doing a recording somehow.

As for the accappella, I was able to find that, but thanks a bunch for posting. I was actually watching something on TV the other day where a bunch of people were climbing up a long ladder from underground and I couldn't help but laugh with that song popping in my head.
