Greetings Snox Nation, I am here to jump on the "Gray Fox and Solid Snake sparring homoerotically" bandwagon, if you'll have me.

Here's my personal interpretation of this: Big Boss is projecting hard here. He may not see Snake as his son, but he can't help but see himself in him anyway, so he assumes that Snake must think and feel the same way that he does.
Except for that we go on to see throughout the series that Snake isn't like that. He loves live, the beauty of the world, and what he ultimately craves is peace and quiet, despite also loving the thrill of battle. Whatever part of Big Boss made himself such a bitter warmonger, that part was not passed on to Snake.
Also, like, my man is horny af for every cute girl he meets, to the point where he talks to himself about it when he thinks no one is listening. I just can't see a version of Snake who "cares nothing for sex" ._.

Yeah, great advice there Miller... That'll sure be helpful when I'm fighting a fucking former-Olympic runner in a gas chamber.

#365DaysOfVGM Day 168:
Theme of Solid Snake/THEME OF SOLID SNAKE [Metal Gear >> Solid Snake Music Compilation of Hideo Kojima/Red Disc] (Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake [MSX], especially the Metal Gear Solid Integral version [1990/1999/1998])
The one-man army super soldier with an engaging story multiple decades in the making, deserved a character theme for the ages, and they sure as hell delivered on that area, well in advance!
The buildup, suspense, and epic payoff within each section to depict a sort of “secret decisive force” are all here, with the Red Disc version being the most different of the 3 in how it sounds more “mechanical” aside from some occasional “claps” and Piano bits. If you want MGS1’s epic psuedo-Choirs alongside a more Synth-focused MIDI, that’s what Integral is for. The original ends up sounding more “chiptune”-y because of its MSX2 origins, which makes it have its own kind of appeal too! All versions have a Bass worth mentioning, since while it simply follows the other instruments early on, it takes on its own melody for the later parts.
With that Red Disc’s album title in mind, to think that the crediting of Hideo Kojima over everyone else’s hard work started this early is kinda depressing, so let me name the composers to pay respect to them: Tsuyoshi Sekito, Masahiro Ikariko, Mutsuhiko Izumi, Yuko Kurahashi, Tomoya Tomita, Kazuhiko Uehara, and Yuji Takenouchi all made the Metal Gear 2 original happen, the fact that the Metal Gear dev teams get lots of composers cannot be understated! Yoshiyuki Ito & Hikaru Nanase made the Red Disc arrangement the next year, in a disc paying tribute to the Metal Gear 2 soundtrack as a whole with its remixes.
Kazuki Muraoka, Hiroyuki Togo, Takanari Ishiyama, Lee Jeon Myung, and Maki Kirioka are all responsible for Metal Gear Solid 1’s soundtrack, so some of them likely worked on Integral’s Solid Snake theme arrangement the following year! Some sites list “Rika Muranaka” and someone by the alias “TAPPY” as part of Integral’s music team too, but I’ve yet to confirm this. What I can confirm, is my appreciation for the teamwork involved in making each Metal Gear entry come true; it takes more than just talent and brand power to make a franchise this memorable!
(Length [Original & Integral]: 2.5+ minutes, [Red Disc]: Nearly 3 minutes)
