This is officially my new favorite photo from Stargate Atlantis. How hot (for you ladies) or cool (for you guys) does Sheppard look in this pic?
“Sheppard, John Sheppard”
Stargate Atlantis: “Vegas” Part One and Two
Air Date: Friday, January 2 at 9:00 on SCI FI
And here’s how it goes. . .
Police find a desiccated corpse on a desert road outside Las Vegas, Nevada, the seventh victim of a bizarre serial killer. Detective John Sheppard, called in to assist, is baffled by these murders. Then a clue, traces of radiation found on the bodies, leads him to a strange looking man with super human attributes who easily evades capture.
Some time later, Sheppard is detained and driven to Area 51. There he meets Dr. Rodney McKay who reveals that the suspect is, in fact, an alien – a wraith – who feeds on human energy. What’s more, McKay and his team have traveled to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy, by way of a stargate, to prevent this wraith from compromising the security of the planet. But so far, Sheppard is the only one who’s been able to get close to him.
Did I mention that I have a DVD of this episode in my hot little hands? I’ll have a teaser review for you soon of this and the series finale (sob). You wouldn’t want me to give too much away now, would you?
I will however, offer you more photos after the jump.

Hi, does anyone know the song playing in the beginning of the Vegas episode? The one that really sounds like something taken from a cowboy movie?
k its been so long and i still cant get the music used is the casino chase scene!! i would really like 2 get it…does anyone know when its gonna b comming out?!?!?
The music u ppl are looking for, is Marilyn Manson – Beautiful People
Hey there,
maybe a little dated thread, but I just found out what might have been Joel’s inspiration for the chase song:
Rage Against The Machine: Battle of Los Angeles – Track 01, Testify
I didn’t know where else to post it, so feel free to spread the word. ;)
My mail is elmartes86
Then add the usual @hotmail.com
There I am if you have any questions whatsoever.
Cheers
Thank you, Scary!
Just got the email and the music. This does make it a lot easier than just skimming through the video for them. Though I really don’t mind seeing that Wraith in action ;)
I don’t have a thing for Neil Jackson, (sorry Neil!), but you DID make one fine Wraith…
Again, thanks for taking the time to pull those songs, Scary :)
I’d still like to know if there would be a soundtrack with Joel Goldsmith’s music in it. Maybe “lengthier” versions of it. It was absolutely BRILLIANT work on his part, in my opinion.
Here are the songs:

You could just extract the music from the video using some software, specifying the start and end times. I’ve done it already =)
You guys are awesome! Thanks, Michelle and Sylvia.
They really need to come out with some kind of soundtrack to that. I’ve looked high and low and asked forums and even tried contacting MGM about the music to that… hey, they could have at least pointed me in a direction.. then I found this thread.
Seems some forgot to mention the music when the Wraith came out of the trailer with all guns blazing.
When Cooper said, “It’s Joel’s music. Pretty awesome.” it was the understatement of the year. It F*IN ROCKED!
Well, if anything, I have some cool new bands to check out from this thread.
Gonna have to push for that soundtrack >.< With so many people lovin’ the music to the episode I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
Nice info! Very cool post.I have looked over your blog a few times and I love it.

Thankyou for that Sylvia, we can lay the question to rest now :)
Just have to wait till he publish’s the song so we can all download it!!
OR hell, buy it!
Rob Cooper’s comments on Joe Mallozzi’s Blog:

“I chose the songs asking many people their opinions along the way. Yes, we paid for them. Another significant budget overage. I have to credit Charlie Cohen Executive VP of MGM for wanting to make the end of season five as special as it could be. Joel Goldsmith was very excited about stepping outside the box for an episode. His music is brilliant as usual. He wrote everything except the three songs we bought. ”
and
“I thought everyone just naturally assumed the wraith would listen to Marilyn Manson. I also would have loved to get a White Zombie song but I ran out of money. Many of you have wondered what the song is for the chase sequence. It’s Joel’s music. Pretty awesome.”
Check out Joe Mallozzi’s blog today for lots of cool facts about the episode. And, Joel G. did write all the music except for the 3 songs!
JM’s Blog
Honestly, the fact that no other songs were credited is pretty strong evidence that usual Stargate composer Joel Goldsmith wrote those rock snippets. He’s certainly capable of it!
I think the music in the hotel room with the radiation guy is Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine but man the chase music is driving me crazy I need to know!
Ya know, I’ve been lookin myself… its sounds kinda Ministry-ish… at least vocalwise… but has much more emphasis on the bass…
One thing is damned sure, its not TKK (as someone suggested on YouTube) it is def not in their style (demonic disco sleaze-groove insanity).
I’ve been out of the rivet-scene too long… prob some new band tryin to sound like Ministry *L*.
Ro said : “Hey, anyone know what’s the music in the scene where the guy suffering from radiation poisoning is making that phone call?”
i would be interesting to know that sound too, but there are no lirycs so unless someone knows that song, we’re screwed
I want to know what song this’ too! >.< It’s impossible to find anything… acctually the song that sounded most like it was “The Kraken” from PoT movies… and that’s not it-.-;;
Let me know if you found out what song it is
Ok soooo many things wrong with the last two comments.
Firstly, there is no song by THE Rolling Stones called “Please To Meet You”. The song is “Sympathy For The Devil” by “The Rolling Stones”.
And did you even read the thread? We are on about the casino chase song, we know the other 3 listed songs!
And no, soz mate, not Ozzie, not right type of music. Nor right vocals.
Anyone still hunting for this song, please see the youtube thread of what we currently have found.
