"Looking for Ghost Riders in the Sky?"
I was going to buy a copy of this until I saw the track listing and read all the reviews! Anyone looking for THAT version of *Ghost Riders In the Sky*, check out a band from the UK called King Kurt, off their album Destination Zululand. I don't know if it is THE version or not, but they are another band who have covered it. I haven't been able to listen to it on the internet, and I'm not willing to buy a copy in case it turns out to be crap. Also check out another alternative version by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes from their album Love Their Country.It is definitly not the one from the movie, but is is a good "punked up" version all the same. Happy hunting! Spiderbait (from Australia) have not done a version of it as far as I can find, but they do a blistering version of *Black Betty* if anyone is interested.

"disappointed"
Like all the other reviews, I was very disappointed after purchasing the soundtrack and discovering Ghost Riders in the Sky was not on it. I agree if it is called a soundtrack of a movie, all music should be on it.

"None of the Famous Rock Tunes, but Above Average ALL INSTRUMENTAL ONLY! "
This GHOST RIDER SOUNDTRACK by Christopher Young seems to suffer in reviews due to the lack of any of the famous oldies heard in the film, (no "Crazy Train," no "Superstar," no "Tush," and not even the song that inspired the original creation of this comic book character, "Riders in the Sky").

Yes, it's too bad that they couldn't get the famous songs on this CD, but if you are into movie soundtrack instrumentals only, then this is the freshest movie soundtrack of any of the Marvel Comics Movies of this century!

I really enjoy the GHOST RIDER movie, (which is best in the EXTENDED CUT on DVD version), so this CD is pretty decent as background music in my car. It could use some more noticeable melodies, but the opening theme melody recurs in different variations, the spanish guitars remind me of spaghetti westerns, and the electric guitars make it more unique among many recent soundtracks, though GHOST RIDER also has its fair share of the church choir flourishes. Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut)

The music varies from loud & heavy stomping, to gently guitar strumming, and is mostly variations in between those two extremes. Overall this GHOST RIDER SOUNDTRACK has enough variation throughout that it doesn't get on my nerves, though it isn't really so good that the music is engaging and memorable. In fact, I listen to this CD to remind me of the film, but if you don't like this film, then I probably wouldn't recommend this CD for you.

GHOST RIDER is better and fresher than the other Marvel Comics movie soundtracks. The SPIDER-MAN soundtracks all start to sound the same. The worst Marvel movie soundtrack is for the X-MEN 1 movie, where their idea of drama seems to be a constant drone that either gets louder for tension or quieter for calm. Sheesh. GHOST RIDER reminds me of the film as I listen to it, and it sounds good in the background, not just some unimaginative twisting of the volume knob, ala' X-MEN 1.

"Ghost Riders in the Sky by Spiderbait"
I hate when a movie gives you a great soundtrack then doesn't use that soundtrack when they issue the cd for sale. So when Ghost Rider had fabulous music in it, the first thing I thought was -- Gotta find this soundtrack! Then I did and was totally disappointed. However, it does look like Ghost Rider in the Sky, as performed during the credits, is by Spiderbait. You can often find the download of the song available online if you put it into a search engine.

"Ghost Riders Song"
If you're looking for the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky" used at the end of the movie it's not by Bon Jovi on their Lost Highway CD and I don't think its Spiderbait either because I can't find any proof of it. I did some research and the closest I could find was a track by The Outlaws on their album The Outlaws: Best Of The Outlaws. I really don't understand why they didn't include the song on the official soundtrack, how stupid are they?
