Alien Ant Farm Left Off Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Soundtrack

American rock band Alien Ant Farm expressed disappointment over not being included in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 soundtrack, despite their track Wish originally appearing in the series' fourth installment.

A Mixed Musical Selection

While the remake features classic tracks like Motörhead's Ace of Spades from the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 soundtracks, several songs didn't make the cut—including Alien Ant Farm’s contribution.

BBC News (via VGC) reached out to the band after they posted a sad face emoji reacting to the soundtrack reveal. Guitarist Terry Corso acknowledged their exclusion:

"Is it disappointing we weren't included? Absolutely," Corso said. "We get that they're introducing new material, and cuts had to be made—but why us? Our track performed really well in the original."

Lead vocalist Dryden Mitchell added:

"Tony Hawk's games have traditionally leaned punk, and we're not a punk band—but diversity makes soundtracks special."

Fan Reactions and Hawk’s Response

Reception to the remake's soundtrack has been mixed. While fans cheered the return of CKY and Iron Maiden tracks, others lamented missing bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Zebrahead.

Tony Hawk himself addressed soundtrack concerns on Instagram, explaining his creative choice:

"I personally curated tracks, mixing classics with new discoveries—just like what made these soundtracks iconic in the first place."

The remake introduces fresh skate parks and skaters alongside returning favorites—including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Michelangelo, surprisingly.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 releases July 11 for PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2.
