“Hello Everyone,

Well I just heard from Jonathan Tzachor that they have someone else doing the music for Saban’s new Power Rangers and I will not be involved in any capacity.

So, after so many years of involvement with the show, I think it’s best to put it in my past, be happy for all the great years I was involved with it and just let it go.

I sincerely wish big success and a long run for all who will be involved with the new production.”

And lucky for all of us who don’t own a copy of the game, Owen Douglass, the lead author behind all of Ron’s songs appearing on RBN, has both “American Hero” and previous submission “Fight Back” available to download on MP3 for free from his website, Ozone Entertainment.

But that’s not all, they’re also holding a contest all this month to submit videos of yourself playing the song with your character dressed as the American Hero as described in Ron’s lyrics.  You have a chance to win a 4 month XNA premium account (to be able to test future RBN songs early) and a copy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie personally signed by Ron himself!

You can find all the details for the contest here.

Ron Wasserman (Composer from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) has also spoke on the issue via Starpoints Rangercrew:

I just heard [Mighty Morphin Power Rangers] was a go. I was told there was a chance they’d want things re-scored a few months back, but never heard back. A friend of mine said they were using all the original music because Saban owns all the rights and there was something in the contract that would have prevented Disney from replacing the music. I’m not absolutely certain about this so I guess we’ll all find out next year.

BLAKE FOSTER

As Justin Stewart, Blake portrayed PR’s first and only Tweenager with Attitude. An experienced martial artist then, and an even greater one now, Blake is the only Ranger actor to appear with both Chuck Norris and Hilary Duff.

RON WASSERMAN

Also known to Power Rangers fandom as Aaron Waters or The Mighty RAW, Ron Wasserman wrote, performed and scored some of the most memorable music from MMPR’s first three seasons, including 5-4-1, We Need a Hero, Go Green Ranger, and the legendary Bulk and Skull theme song. He also performed the PRiS and PRSPD themes.

VALERIE VERNON

As PRLG’s Kendrix Morgan, Valerie was not only the first female tech-geek Ranger, but was the first Power Ranger to fall in the line of duty. From her own struggle to overcome leukemia, Valerie continues to display a depth of courage that would do any Ranger proud.

Update (9/7/08): Ron added another mix to his song, so check that out as well.
