Ok I'm not 15 and my phone ringtone isn't in my top 5 most important things in my life.
However I was wondering what tunes FISO have expelling from their pockets.
A ringtone needs to kick right in, no use going from quiet to loud over 30 seconds so a lively intro is essential, it also helps if its nice sounding of course.

Currently I have - Tuning in by Hadouken

Other favourites include - Reptilla by The Strokes , The Great Escape by We are Scientists and You eff love it by Dirty Pretty Things

How about you?

Main theme from Silent Hill (PS1):

It is a difficult choice to get the right tune for a ringtone and one you like.
The right tune means it has to be loud early unless you grab a mid track segment. It is useless if it starts quietly.
I remember when my daughter got her first mobile the ringtone I used for her calls was G & R's Sweet Child of Mine. Perfection.
On trains I sometimes got admiring glances when Slash's finest moment broke the virtual silence. Once a total stranger verbally approved my choice of ringtone.
Now I tend to use carefully selected Biffy Clyro tracks, 57 being a good choice.

I also quite like using this:

A sample from here at about 60 seconds......

Had this for years and really need to change it but I quite like it.

Strangely enough, I'm on The Strokes too : "You Only Live Once"

"Busy Child" The Crystal Method

Am I the only one that hears a musical ringtone and thinks "what a cock"?

definitely not!

Loving Tron, Ennio Morricone and O Fortuna, Tron especially



If it's Rhianna then no Surely those with the Trigger Happy ringtone are just as irritating?

Oasis - The Importance of being Idle. (Ironic !).
REM - Losing my Religion.

I'm the childish one here then - I've got the theme from the Chocobo Racing (part of the Final Fantasy PS1 game)

Parp Parp Parp Parp
Parp Parp Parp Parp
Oi Dickhead, answer the Phone,
Oi Dickhead, answer the phone,

repeat.


not as rude as most of my others

Didn't realise you'd had a birthday recently

My phone just rings.

Did consider the Max and Paddy car alarm (GET BACK YA bustard I'LL BREAK YA LEGS!!) but not really appropriate if it went off in a meeting

If I could be arsed sorting it out I'd probably go for Love will Tear us Apart or Been Caught Stealing. Would say Teenage Riot, but it doesn't start quickly enough. Or maybe Another Girl Another Planet. Yes - probably that one.

Bill Hayley and the Comets - Bluemoon

I did have Monster by The Automatic as the caller ringtone for when my wife rang.
I will have to get around to reassigning caller tones on my new phone.

Update to 'She drives me Crazy' by TFYC

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple

I can go one better, a great app on my ipad called Garage band, Smoke on the Water (just the opening bars) by me!

This at the minute, always loved the start ...

Me 3

If I was so inclined, and technically capable...........

always had something star wars related



the message tone is a lightsaber.

if anyone ever left their phone on the table in the pub, we always changed the phone language to Finnish. Made it more interesting watching them work out how to change it back.

Or just set the reminder alarm to ten mins with the message 'it's your round get the beers in'
