What song should the Demons run out to?

[beelzebub 23,254]

AFL used this for one of their commercials a few years ago. They would have the rights to it. Easy access, and brings out the strong Irish heritage. This would be the way to go

nice Irish tie in... like it

[beelzebub 23,254]

Im amazed no one has suggested this

Can you imagine 20000 lungs screaming THUNDER.........THUNDER !!!

Some seem to be missing the Theatre of it all. Its a chance to engae the supporters, get a voice happening.. Give it atmosphere. It needs to be relatively simple with gusto..

hell even a 5yo can go Na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. and join in with Thunder...by anyones admission it needs no great intellect.

But would that echo around the G,!!!

It has to have several elements. Simple, powerful riffs and crescendos, audible and coherent lyrics if to be any..and something thats not inciting death or maming goats etc. It has to be accessible across many generations.

Anyhow..is only an idea

[beelzebub 23,254]

another AC/DC

it has a nice slow buildup before engagement,,,,, inviting

I'm not fussed what song they run onto the ground listening too, but there's only one song I wanna hear as they walk off! Haven't heard much of it recently.

Another element is it probably has to have something to do with the Demons image. "Thunderstruck" is used by the storm, "Welcome to the jungle" has been used before the Tigers, don't really see the point in singing something similar to another team's image.

Maybe something a little more cerebal for your preciousness ( thinkabout that first )

A little AIDA could be reworked along these lines ?? lol

[DemonWA 3,889]

What about one of these two? Nice and short, no lyrics, building towards somthing, set the tone before the boys run out anyway?

[dees189227 12,299]

I still reckon it should be playing to win. Give the AFL a chuckle.

Haha... I don't want anything too "classy", but geez come on guys, surely you have more in your record collections than the Rocky soundtrack and The Razors Edge...

In a perfect world we'd have no loud intrusive adverts . No water boys on the ground . Limited use of the 'runner' . No fireworks or bells and whistles . A few hard driving rock songs up until about 15-20 minutes before the game may not be for everyone but as of right now there's nothing but loud adverts and the overuse of ground announcements . We're never going to go back to curtain raisers so it's ads or music - easy choice really .

The songs would need to be reasonably familiar to people who like either retro or new (or for those who appreciate both) . So it's mainstream rock (or pop) .

Having said all that if they played the following track by Marilyn Manson I wouldn't be complaining ... this gets me pumped ...

Ok, I think I might have at last found something that will please a big selection of supporters, encompassing the classical muse in Strauss, the visual arts in Kubrick's 2001 a Space Odessy, and those who just like a good tune...and the beauty of this is that the bugler doesn't have to step aside; he can play along karaoke style.

Has anyone suggested Angry Anderson's Bound for Glory yet?

[Guest]

Since so many of us have a hard on for heavy metal, maybe we should hire this fellow? I bet he comes cheap!

While I totally agree with Martin Flanagan's comments about US style sports hype having no place in our game, and don't want songs after goals or halftime, I feel the club song should be reserved for a win, to sing it before the game always felt like a jinx. So I wouldn't mind a run out song as long as it is:

1. Australian

2. Not metal (and friends, I respect your love of Slayer et al. but not everyone quite gets it)

3. Not pop, not opera, am sorry but this needs Bass, no Ride of the Valkyries. (I love Paul Kelly, MFTCC etc but its not a run out song)

Maybe a PM should be sent to RR to organize a special poll for this.

I reckon there have been some ace suggestions, but am with Deeludued and BB59 - Thunderstruck is timeless, I would love the Dropkick Murphys, reckon its a ripper song but not Aussie, same goes for some others like RATM, White Stripes (Icky Thump), so many others

As a smoky Midnight Oil has a few good riffs that always get me fired up on a run. Thought about Spiderbait etc but again don't think it would grab enough of the mob (also as much as I like 'fuckin awesome' as a song if we had a poo game... well the puns I can live without)

[Guest the Sorcerer]

An AFL insider was heard to say he preferred us to have the song Dirty Dees Done Dirt cheap, as an anthem.

I laughed.

Blow the whistle and start the game.
