In Remembrance of Captain Jack

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on October 22nd, 2006

The song has now been removed from the game.

One year ago today, the Bemani community lost one of its great artists. On October 22nd, 2005, Francisco Gutierrez, better known as Captain Jack, passed away at the age of 43.

There’s no denying that Captain Jack was a very influential part of the DDR music genre, and here at FFR we want to honor that. One year ago, we released his self-titled theme song in the game for a week. In commemoration of all that Captain Jack did for the music world, we will be releasing the song once again, for a few days.

You can find the song in the first slot of the Dance genre, have fun, and remember the great man that Francisco was.

Tak tak tak, never looking back

Come and fight for Captain Jack

Say it slow, but say it loud

Join the peace camp and you will be proud

Cheers,

lightdarkness, and the Flash Flash Revolution staff

  27. man i knew who he was i just never knew he died!! what did he die from?

  28. Man, can’t we keep the song on and let the memory of CJ live on here?

  29. The future of Captain Jack suddenly came into doubt when Gutierrez suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while walking with his son in Spain on October 17, 2005. Doctors predicted that the damage was fatal, and Gutierrez died on Saturday October 22, 2005, after spending five days in a coma.

    Future proceeds on the sale of Captain Jack’s Greatest Hits album, which was being planned prior to Franky Gee’s death, will be given to his son, fellow rapper Franky Gutierrez. Later in 2006, Franky will revive the band as Captain Jack Junior.

    “CJ Jr.” is the official title of Franky Gee’s son. He has recently been announced on a promotional site (see links below). It states that he is coming summer 2006 and that he will be doing a tribute to his father. His first known title is called I Love Reggaeton. It is uncertain if CJ Jr. will develop his own Latino style or follow the Military-Dance sound that made his father famous.-wikipedia

    i hope this answers some questions and LONG LIVE CJ!!!

  36. I remember his song “In the Navy..” from the 7th mix? From DDR… Now..I’m being reminded..that he’s passed away…

    He was a great man. I salute him and let him R.I.P…

  37. I didnt know him, but…rip captin jack i play your song on extreame 2 all the time…..such a good song to remember him with. R.I.P

    Sincerly Zeus

  38. R.I.P. captain jack
    we still remember your music,and always will

  39. hey this is great?

  40. Captain Jack your memory lives on in all DDR players.I still love your music.

  41. He was a great artist I wosh I could have met him, I will dance in his rememberance and I am proud to honor his work with dance and uber good step charts.

  42. I still remember the first time this song was in FFR. It was rated for masters only, and it doesn’t remember anyone’s high scores on it. It’s a really great song, so Captain Jack must have been awesome.

  43. He had an amazing DDR repetoire. For anyone who isn’t such a DDR fan as I, here is a complete list (from memory :O ) of Captain Jack’s DDR hits, in order of release:

    Captain Jack (Grandale Mix) – 3rd Mix
    IN THE NAVY ’99 (XXL Disaster Remix) – 3rd Mix
    The Race – 3rd Mix
    Only You – 4th Mix
    Dream a Dream – 4th Mix
    My Generation (Fat Beat Mix) – 5th Mix
    Odoru Ponpokorin – 5th Mix
    Little Boy (Boy on Boy Mix) – DDRMAX 2
    Centerfold (130BPM Mix) – SuperNOVA

    I hope that’s everything, sorry if I missed one or something is wrong. Please feel free to blatantly point it out.

    We miss you and always will, Cap’n :)

  44. Wow its been 1year since he died.I remeber reading that on DDRFreak.com like it was yesterday.

  52. Dang…I remember the first time I played real DDR (not like the one for the systems that sometimes glitched, before that), I played on of his songs. Maddd cool.

    Little sidenote-

  54. RIP Captain Jack, the music inspires…

  55. I wish that the song could last longer than a few days. RIP Jack

  80. Rye365, Captain jack is the master of masters in ffr & ddr. He’s the legend you hear in the gossip. Man, I hope the captain don’t get shoved in davy jones locker!

  81. Thank you so much, last year when he died I bought a crapload of tokens for my local arcade and played DDR for hours straight playing only his song. The “Captian Jack Memorial Tokens” are still in the bag they came in, in all this time I still haven’t managed to use them all. R.I.P. Captain Jack, the best captain in any Navy anywhere.

    PS. If you don’t know who Captain Jack is, then don’t worry about it. However he is very well known in the DDR/FFR community.

  85. wtf a year already. I remember last time the song was released i sukd

  86. I think he was a really cool guy. His music was always upbeat and catchy. I salute you, Cap’n.

    Also, you should keep his song up, it’s fantastic. Still can’t beat it though.

  87. Captain Jack’s songs were what i looked forward to every time a new DDR game came out.

    It has been a year but it feels like only days we will keep you in our hearts forever…we love you Captain Jack!:)

  88. Out of all ddr artists he was definitely the best, no one will ever even come close to making a song as good as him.

  89. *TEAR (litteraley)*
    *salute*
    *peace*
    *rip*

    Capt. Jack. i can’t believe he’s….. gone… :(

    If only i can say 1 thing
    that would make someone dance
    get outta bed
    and start doing jumping jacks
    jack jack jack
    if only he were here today
    none of the misery and pain
    would be all inside us
    it’s driving us all insaine
    why did he have to die
    sutch a horrible way to die
    at least we can al remember him
    in our hearts,
    souls,
    minds,
    bodies,
    and most importantley, in our feet.
    so as the captain goes 6 feet under
    and goes to cease
    all we can say is
    rest in peace.

    Luv ya jak!

  102. Capt. Jack was my favorite song writer for DDR/FFR when he was alive one year ago. He still is today, after his unfortunate death.

    Rest in peace, Captain Jack,
    If you were a pirate, you’d be the Jack Sparrow of them all.

  103. I loved playing his song on heavy on DDR and I only got to complete it once on FFR, I dont suck or anything it’s just my comp… anyways captain jacks songs were some of the best i’ve ever heard nice going capn’! Dont go to Javie Jones on us.

  104. nooo, you can’t take t awayyy!

  105. im sexy

  106. Why’d it get taken away?

  107. Legal stuff.

  108. What’re you guys talking about(tha07carter & LordKratosAurion)?.
    This is suppose to be in REMEMBRENCE of CAPTAIN JACK!

  109. Captain Jack was a massive fag. All his rhymes suck, and his style is weak beyond weak.

    Still too bad that he passed away because he was probably a good guy blah blah, but his music simply sucked major ass.

  110. “Captain Jack was a massive fag. All his rhymes suck, and his style is weak beyond weak.

    Still too bad that he passed away because he was probably a good guy blah blah, but his music simply sucked major ass.”

    Shut up
    you’re no Jesus!

    His songs were so fun.

  111. run along with captain Jack, da da di da do , run along with captain Jack. I always remember Captain Jack. He was one of the best that shall always be remember a VIP person to all. I liked his songs and his DDR songs were awesome as well.

    Peace to captain Jack,

  112. his song was the coolest. he was an awsome musician. why didnt you keep his song on here to remind others of how good he was?

  113. whyd u have to take out the song from ffr?

  114. b/c it isnt theirs, they dont hav rights to it

  115. yah that makes me soooo mad that they took captain jacks song off, that was a cool song. who cares about rights what’s right is to have that song on ffr lol.

  116. alltho i dont know who captain jack was i still
    salute you capn.
    r.i.p.

  117. oh god i think im gonna cry

  118. i couldnt find the song :(

  119. it waz in dance lol :p

  120. well now it’s not here anymore *sniff*

  121. SOMEONE GET RIGHTS TO THE SONG AND UPLOAD IT!!!

  122. i bet it wasn’t because of rights, i bet it was because many people have different feelings which could start racism, flamewars, people complaining about ffr in general, and other things way worse, which really isn’t good for the kiddies. Or it could be because it was “remembrance” which means looking back into the past. If we kept the song for ffr it wouldn’t really be a remembrance. who knows, it could be because they don’t have rights to the song :(

  136. peace to jack,
    he was great,
    he was the best,
    his songs are always the best,
    we all want his song back in the ffr,
    so that we all can remember him by playing his song,
    so if its allright can you put it back for us so that we can remember him.

  137. i want all of his songs as well

  138. i loved his songs. can u maybe make the song stay on ffr for once?

  139. I loved that song, I vowed to beat and mabey full combo it. They could of made it a skill token but no they ruined it. AWW man! :(

  140. I first met Franky Gee, in 1988 while he was a Dj at the Monte Carlo a now closed Danceclub in Wiesbaden Delkenheim in Germany he later helped me get a job in Russelsheim at the then popular club, “Voyage” as a Bouncer and even gave me my first break in the entertainment industry as leadman for a group he produced called Warp Machine, we traveled to Paris,Prague, London & Budapest together & shared all things bf share not including gf’s. I loved him like a brother,..just found out today for sure, 6 years after his death, (although Iheard rumours) that he died, we lost contact because he hit on me after knowing him over a decade, (so jesus you weren’t exactly wrong) not to tarnish his memory just simply the truth, he didn’t write any of his songs, (they were military cadence) definitely a womanizer & in the closet w the rest. bottom line regardless of your imperfections, Francisco you are missed.
