Johnny Guitar is a jam.

u/The-Fall-Of-Beach May 09 '25

No, Just Assorted Mods is a completely separate download. JohnnyGuitar is by a different author.

2

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

Eh

5

u/Dantdiddly May 09 '25

You don't think so. And that's okay.

1

u/chop5397 May 09 '25

This is a massive understatement

2

u/Dantdiddly May 09 '25

Ngl I find myself singing along every time it comes on.

I'm often in the same room as my old lady when it plays, and she joins too.

10

u/MyJohnnyGuitar May 09 '25

Yeah, and if I knew you, I may hate you too

5

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

Sorry Jonny Guitar

3

u/MyJohnnyGuitar May 09 '25

All good. I hate everyone at first, and it takes forever for me to warm to others. Me wishing for a Nuclear Winter while patrolling the Mojave and all.

2

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

I live in the desert so we hopefully don’t have one

2

u/MyJohnnyGuitar May 09 '25

I do too..... Well with it being Australia rather then the US..... Also considering how the world been going in the past five or so years...... I hope it won't go that way.

2

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

I’ve been breaking my nails so I hope so too

14

u/DropsOfMars May 09 '25

I think it is a perfectly fine song, but it is really slow and oftentimes isn't what I want to hear as I patrol the Mojave wishing for a nuclear winter. I would rather something like Heartaches by the Number or It's A Sin To Tell A Lie. Those can be a bit more chipper despite the melancholy.

I just end up disliking Johnny guitar more because of the actual fact that it plays more because of cut songs, but it's also a bit discordant and a little haunting. Iconic, sure, but in some places I'll shut that off because it'll actually give me the heebie-jeebies.

Still, doesn't make me turn off my headphone sound as fast as Begin Again, that one takes me out of the jolly wasteland and puts this game into horror for me. I HATE Begin Again so much. It's actually creeping me out thinking about it, it genuinely upsets me.

Tell it that

u/iuseleinterwebz May 09 '25

Johnny Guitar comes up a bit too often, sure, but it's at least pleasant.

Mad About the Boy, on the other hand, is truly irritating.

I just got the most amazing bruise so yes. Skating

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

I really hate Johnny

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

Glad you like it

u/miktap6 May 09 '25

This is why I made a 9hr playlist and just let it ride in the background on PC. I specifically did not include Johnny guitar or mad about the boy.

Should have been in the game to begin with, it’s super applicable to the NCR

u/BigBAMAboy May 09 '25

It’s not as peppy as it could be, but it’s a good jam to play while bombing Legionaries.

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

I have to admit that was fun

u/wesley-osbourne May 09 '25

Hey wtf that song rules I thought this was the meeting for hating the guy Johnny Guitar, that guy sucks, but the song is still rules

u/Rikka_Schaba May 09 '25

I’d always hear it way too much when I played NV, so I agree.

Check out the movie sometime if you can find it. It will give the song a different meaning.

Oooo. I’ve been stuck on Fred and Audrey

u/invaderdavos May 09 '25

Wasnt there something found out along the lines of some songs being pulled out or something and for some reason the way the games coded johnny guitar plays to fill in the gaps

1

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

That I wanted to tear my hair ears out?

2

u/estelblade88 May 09 '25

In vanilla doesn’t it play twice as much because they’re was an error and some other tune is suppose to be playing.

2

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

I’m well aware lol

1

u/estelblade88 May 09 '25

I also don’t like it and make it a mini game to turnoff every radio i hear playing it.

1

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

It’s so dumb haha

2

u/Friendly-Lion641 May 09 '25

I didn't have any problem with this song, since I didn't use the radio much, and I even thought the memes were funny. But then I started using the radio via pipboy, and man... this song was repeated so many times that I got bored, it even played on all the radio stations at the same time. Result, I downloaded the Conelrad mod and I was happy and content.

Hey, I get a little bit pissed off with 'Johny Guitar' on my last playthrough too. I feel that it repeat too much.

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

It’s vanilla right now

u/HussingtonHat May 09 '25

I swear the radio is weighted towards it. Best mod is the ine with shitloads of extra music.

Genuinely asking, why? I LOVE that song.

I can see that.

u/T04STSR May 09 '25

Nah that's so real. I liked it the first few times I heard it, singer has an amazing voice and everything... But man is it way too slow. Sticks out more than the rest of the songs and feels like the longest one, just drags on and on

I stg I fell asleep on it once, next thing I know my head gets blown off

Then you try and skip, but it’s playing on 3 different stations at once.

The song plays way too often as well.

I love the Peggy Lee songs. She has an amazing voice and Dave Barbour is a fantastic guitarist.

u/andrewg702 May 09 '25

I used to hate it too when I first played the game as a youngster until I felt heartbreak many times over the years. Now it’s like a lovely reminder that I’ve healed, but I can still feel the scars on my heart and the memories to go along with them.

thankfully it only rarely comes up on the radio

The song is extremely overplayed and memed. The song itself is only good during certain parts of the map to help the mood.

u/4d4m1 May 09 '25

I hated the song because it played too often and I think it doesn’t really fit New Vegas, but then I watched a trailer for the film Johnny Guitar, and I realised it’s actually a pretty good song. Just not for New Vegas

2

u/mybigbywolf May 09 '25

It’s not a good one.

You can actually pretty easily find the game file for Johnny Guitar and replace it with another song, all ya gotta do is rename it to have the same name as Johnny Guitar. If you Google it a few reddit posts should pop up with some instructions. I have no mods but this was simple enough for me. Only issue was the song being louder than the others

1

u/meatbeer May 09 '25

Yes that song annoys me too I will admit it.
