GO AWAY, BENTLEY JONES
This stupidly-haired IDIOT is “doing” the “main theme” of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, according to an image on Amazon and what he says on his blog. Bentley may have more hair than Richard Jacques, but we’d run out of things to talk to him about before we’d even finished the first pint.
With Richard, we’d be able to think about things to talk about until 3.45am!
You can buy it through Amazon if you’ve just been won over by his choppy fringe and computer-enhanced eyes. There’s also a competition going on over on his site, where you can win the chance to be “in” the video for it. It’ll be OK, no one will ever see it.

What exactly is he? That blog looks hideous and reads even worse, makes me want to vomit in the face of a small child.
Stamp on “teh Fluffeh Bunneh” until it’s “squasheh & bloodeh”

He’s never been mentioned on Popjustice, so doesn’t officially exist. Although his Wikipedia entry makes it sound like’s he’s an integral part of the Sonic community in Japan.

Oh dear. I’d been rather foolishly allowing myself to feel quietly optimistic about this game but so far (going by this and that advert) it looks like the people with the money are determined to destroy any chance it might have to be good.
Bah. I’m just going to go back to my usual grumpy beligerence, things generally work out better that way.
Of course, I’m just assuming that the tune’s shit, but that’s what cd cover design is for isn’t it? To give you the ability to form a quick opinion on whether you’ll like the tune? And the way they’ve designed that, well, it’s got to be shit, hasn’t it? Admittedly, perhaps not as shit as the other 3 designs they mooted, but still…
Plus, he’s ginger. No amount of bleach will change that. And I might be wrong here, but I don’t recall a single decent piece of music performed by a ginge.
Apart from maybe Shirley Manson and Garbage. That’s the exception that proves the rule.

Hmmn, you can listen to the tracks on iTunes… Well it certainly isnt the Sonic R soundtrack!
They had better have a Space Channel 5 level with Mexican Flyer as the theme…
And if he has done a dance remix of the Shenmue theme I will not be a happy bunny!

Richard Jacques must be turning in his grave. I hadn’t heard that Richard had died, but that must be the case because no-one would be stupid enough to hire someone else to do the theme to a Sonic racing game, would they? So QED, Richard Jacques must be dead. RIP Richard Jacques!

The decision had nothing to do with him, he didn’t even know anything about it.

I refuse to play the ‘let’s all pretend Richard Jacques is good because it’s ironic and funny as all his music is so cack’ game.
So I’m glad he isn’t involved in Sonic Drift 2000.

The photos in those three rejected designs are going to give me nightmares forever.

The second rejected front cover is amazing. http://bentleyjones.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/all_four1.jpg
“Bentley, love, I want you to gurn like you’ve contracted CJD. Wow! Perfect, PERFECT!!!”
To be fair (something I am unaccustomed to), his own comments on other pictures suggest he isn’t above taking the piss out of himself. He’s not quite at UK:R levels of self loathing yet though.

More evidence (though no more is needed) that Sega have fallen far from the high of its early 90’s cool.
If Sega was still cool it would probably be able to get Calvin Harris or some other guy I don’t like but the kids have at least heard about. This is just embarrassing. What’s up with using an industry vet? Is Richard busy or something? What about Yuzo Koshiro? I bet he’s got plenty of time these days…

I thought that his Dreams of an Absolution, Silver’s theme from Sonic 06, was actually pretty good. This most current song of his is so much more worse though.

This guy puts the ‘Bent’ in ‘Bentley’, and also the ‘eeh’, as in the Northern exclamation. He also puts the ‘owns’ on ‘Jones’, because he obviously OWNS a small winkle.

The face of a man who has ridden a few bananas in his time.

His covers all imply that he know’s, no matter how ‘sky blue’ his eyes are, or that even though his initials are BJ, his TuneZ will be compared to the genius of Sonic R’s fantabulous soundtrack thus never giving him a chance to succeed.
Poor Ginger..
Besides i thought Mr Jacques was doing the soundtrack?
February 2nd, 2010 on 12:09 pm
who is Richard Jacques?

GigerPunk, you are wrong… Metallica. Unless you’re some closet Bucks Fizz fan, you can hardly call the musical output of James Hetfield shit. Mick Hucknall I’ll give you, but then, he’s a tw@t anyway.
If the non-ginger’s ability to insult, was matched by their ability to do something useful, the world would be a great place, but alas, it’s the non-gingers that fuck up the world.
As that old arcade saying goes “Winners don’t do drugs… losers don’t do Ginger!” :P
LeeC22 (ginger, proud and has worked for Sega, therefore has more street cred than most non-gingers by default)

Good to hear you have prospered despite your ginger based disadvantages. My “master race” hair hasn’t even managed to land me a job pushing fucking trolleys at ASDA.
P.S. Metallica are shite but I like the Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten was a ginger so I’ll let you off.

One Dollar Business…
i also……

Jesus wept why oh why did I click on his blog link.
He’s a raving cocktard! His “sTr33t” dancing demo made me want to vomit.
