What song would you play as teams come out?

[mattbianco1]

Each and every time the Star Wars theme tune is played, i chringe. It's a truly shocking choice of music to play in my opinion (despite absolutely loving the films).

If you could choose the song for the teams to enter the pitch too, what would it be and why?

I think it needs to be loud. The sort of song that says we're going into battle here.

We don't want no bloody Star Wars theme, we want something what away fans associate with us. Everton have Z-Cars, Newcastle have the old maxwell house advert (Going Home by Mark Knopfler), Chelsea have Harry J Allstars - Liquidator, Stoke have Delilah.

For me we want something like Def Leppards - Pour Some Sugar On Me or something from Led Zeppelin etc. Judas Priest - United would be a popular one too.



What the club could do is allow fans to submit their choices and we could play a different fans choice before each game, is that something that the club would listen to?

Oh and whilst we're at it, can we PLEASE STOP playing the first few notes from Annie's Song at Kick Off.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Sunderland's prematch tune "Dance of the Knights/Elevation"is quite a 'stirring' anthem!



Followed by something by U2......

I think Star Wars is OK

Has anyone got the GCB ringtone for a Nokia 3210?

What do people think of Tom Hark?

"I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden"......

Enter the Bladesman (sandman) Metallica or Ilkley moor bah tat

I thought it was a good idea for a thread. The club are starting to listen to fans more so why not get something suggested to them?

We've got our classy kit now so why can't we drop the cheesy entrance music and our bloody "prompt to sing" before each kick off.

Here's a thought - read the teams out then play Annie's Song in full before kick off. Not a few notes at kick off. I can't believe we've resorted to being told when to sing OUR SONG. The song that was around long before Gary fucking Sinclair even came near a microphone. We know the words and we know when to sing it.

We barely play Annie's Song in full, it always seems to be after we've beaten Wednesday or when we beat Charlton in the cup for example.

It's our anthem. Do it justice and play it in full.

Back to the old days.........Ilkley Moor!

 

[Jon Bon]

'Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey' by Modern Romance.

 

[TopBoy]

Let me hold you for the first time ...

 

[Grecian2000]

Ian Dury and The Blockheads - Plaistow Patricia.

 

[Bladesway]

The Perfect Drug NIN.

Oh I don't fucking care, whatever you want.....

 

[Grecian2000]

Oh I don't fucking care, whatever you want.....

Damn, I missed that option.

They can come out to Clive Dunn's "Grandad", wearing Primark quality kit (as long as it's R&W stripes), wearing black boots, more sponsor logo's than a F1 car and I'll not give a shiny one. Just blow that first whistle in 23 days and let's get it on.

As an aside, I've just seen someone wearing the much lauded new kit in Morrisons and, to me, the stripes are way too thick and it looks a bit shite. Just saying.

 

[Pinchy]

How about Happy Hour? A classic song written by a true Blade.

I disagree entirely, Matt, about the opening notes. It actually enables our fans (quite possibly the least musical in football) to start singing at the same time. Of course, it's then the usual race to the finish, without tune or tempo.

 

[FTPE]

I completely agree, what the hell has Star Wars go to do with us?
Also, have you heard a recent interview with Paul heaton?? When asked who he supports he says inter Milan!?
I'd go with an ACDC- thunderstruck
It's got nothing to do with but at least it's badass

 

[Esablade]

Here at the Californian Institute it's been both clynically and psycholigically proven that any teams results improve by at least 20% if they run out to......

: Ace Of Spades-Motörhead.

The best entrance song of all.

You cringe at Star Wars, but NOT at Def Leppard? They can't even spell their awful band name right.

I really like the Star Wars thing. It's cool.

Keep star wars, tis a great tune. or maybe mix it up and play some other stuff on rotation. i like big rock anthems like urself tho,
just not def leppard.

interesting, what recent interview was that then?

Paul Heaton was in the semi final programme as the blades fan giving his views on our progress.

 

[shorehamview]

Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk To Fuck" gets my vote.

And you can keep Led Bloody Zeppelin. Stairway to Bollocks. Overblown folky drivel, all of it.








Lights the blue touch paper, stands well back.

For me it needs to be loud and in yer face. That's why i suggested Led Zep also. Seven Nation Army would be a good one too. I guess somebody already uses that.

What about the Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop? "HEY HO, LET'S GO!"



Whatever it is, it needs to be a good intro. Something where the singing doesn't start immediately

 

[shorehamview]

Anthrax and Public Enemy "Bring The Noise"


Slayer "Raining Blood"


Or just for the hell of it, this.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Said it many times before, but i think Rage Against The Machine's Sleep Now In The Fire has a cracking intro.

 

[Pinchy]

I've got it!

OK Go - A Million Ways to be Cruel.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

The Smiths - Heaven knows I'm miserable now

My Chemical Romance - The Misery Begins

On talk sport, I couldn't believe it. I listened to the interview purely to hear the united parts but they never came. I don't remember it too well, it could have been further in the past than it seems but I'm almost positive he never mentioned us and I'm 90% sure it was a Milan team he claimed to follow.
Hope I'm wrong because other than our Sean he's my favorite celeb blade

I saw him at the Charlton match. He was having a piss in the South Stand bogs. Maybe he was being a dick on talksport?? Either that or he gets his San Siro and his BDTBL mixed up.

I wonder if he knows his claret from a beaujolais?

 

[FTPE]

Hope you're right!
Still got flea from the chillies though, and as much as I love me some def leopard it's a bit camp for the lane even if he is one of us

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Paul Heaton is definitely a Blade, but he's a big football fan, follows european football, and likes Inter.
