I swear back in maybe 2016, there was a song that played before the Melbourne Demons Runout only in home games and the lyrics were It’s time to Raise Hell! (X2) I’ve been searching for months and haven’t found it

 

Maybe cause it was Hells Bells.
Reckon we should stick with it.

Now we are premiers, the sound of that song should simultaneously send a chill down the spines of MFC and opposition supporters for polar opposite reasons.

Hope it becomes even more hated by the opposition than Ports never tear us apart or whatever it is.

 

Stick to Hells Bells, but they should play more if it.

Not just  the intro.

The intro is all that’s needed. ❤️💙

I like the bells tolling before the players walk out almost as a heartbeat, then as soon as “It’s a grand old flag” is finished put the rest of Hells Bells on. 

 

How about the bagpipes?  If that doesnt scare off the opposition nothing will.

What about "You'll Never Walk Alone"? You'd think there'd be a massive groundswell of support for that amongst Demons supporters.

NO reminds me of the Port crowd, singing "Never tear us apart.

I liked Hell's Bells, unfortunately it doesn't flow well into "It's a grand old flag"

(Serious now.) I think the club should try out that "this is me" song, as it means something to the team and their mighty effort, and you never know, it might stick. Like a viral meme, these things can't be orchestrated. You just can't predict what will resonate with the intended audience.

But Hell's Bells always sounded good with the tolling bell and then the electric guitar ... and then the effect was ruined by the sudden switch to "Grand Old Flag". (Good club song but the juxtaposition didn't work.)

"Grand Old Flag" is perfectly fine. No need for any other song to be played

You are remebering correctly. Sadly I think the whole thing was a five second jingle and there wasn't a full power ballad version.

I’m a hell’s bells supporter. If people are concerned about the segue to Its a Grand Old Flag then it could be handled by having a pause between the two.

How about a re-recorded Hells Bells, local band,  with changed words.

We're rolling thunder, pouring rain
We're coming on like a hurricane
Our lightning's flashing, melting the fuse
You've come to play, but you're gonna lose
We won't take no prisoners, won't spare our might
Nobody's putting up a fight
We got our bell, we're gonna put you through hell
We're gonna get ya, Demons gonna belt ya

 

Gee, I wish Brian Johnson would just ease off a turn of two of the vice he put his nuts in while recording that song. Prefer Bon.

I’m not familiar with much from AC/DC. Are they real lyrics of theirs or did you compose that?

The double negative in the fifth lines leads me to guess it’s the former. 

I've never known the words to that song or any of their songs really. It's just so much screeching and most are interchangeable from song to song. I copied them from a lyrics site and make some quick changes to suit a sports team. Others could do a better job no doubt.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
