He did all the music! (Congratulations to Michael "Bijan" Johnson for actually being the person heard by all those people with their demo discs) #tommytallarico #playstation #demodisc
Tommy is like that one university student who does nothing during the class project but still slaps their name onto the project and brags to the professor how much work they did.
It's funny how all of this stuff keeps coming to light, yet while searching nobody has found any evidence of Tommy Tallarico actually sitting down and playing a guitar acoustically. I'd just like to see ONE video of him playing guitar for real...not holding it...not posing with it...not showing that it's a custom steampunk spider-man lazer rifle design...not him gyrating and making faces like he's busting a nut while air-guitaring to a backing track, but a video of him physically playing a real guitar with sound coming from the guitar itself. Name one other "guitar legend" in the history of music that has no videos of them playing the guitar.

Another thing that caught my eye here.. 1:33 he lists Powerslave among the games he worked on. But the music in Powerslave was composed by Scott Branston from Lobotomy Software. 🤔
This one time, I'd be careful. Michael says he played the guitar, so someone else might have composed the song. I'd bet that someone isn't Tommy Tallarico, but possibly not Michael either.
It should also come as no surprise that the name "Bijan Shaheer" that was was credited to the track "Future Shock" from The Terminator Sega CD game is obviously Michael Johnson's nickname/pseudonym.
Please don't tell me that famed video game music composer, oof sound creator, and Ferrari connoisseur Tommy Tallarico is a liar! Clearly this is an attempt by the gaming racists to slander his good name, and to prevent the one and only true video game console, the Intellivision Amico, from being released.
I'm pretty sure he has never written any music or songs. I think he had piano lessons as a kid, and can play it well enough to play some popular songs that he learned. I think he taught himself (or paid someone to teach him) enough guitar to fake it on a stage with background music. The most he's ever done musically for a game, I think, is maybe hit some keys on a synthesizer.

You can see it in his eyes. As he looks up and considers, yeah, you know what, this audience is stupid, they'll buy this... even I buy this... it'll be fine. It was all me.
