Warm Up Music

[cjwilhelmi]

I dont think I have ever seen this here.

I am making a warm up cd for my high school team for this season and I need suggestions. I am pretty musically illiterate and can't remember names of songs or artists. So basically I need a lot of suggestions.

Oh yeah, I coach at a private school and I'm very sure they wont like profanity.

Well since it's a private school, might I suggest a little Beethoven, followed by a Mozart cantata and a waltz by Franz Schubert? That should get the little preppies in the proper frame of mind, and the parents won't object.

Machine Head by Bush

Dirt By Death in Vegas

Ready, Steady, Go by Paul Oakenfold

Ready to Go by Republica

Those are pretty clean. I always warmed up to A Friend by the Winans. It just worked for me.

[FLAK]

Now or never - Three days grace (i believe)

Mother- Danzig

Welcome to the Jungle - G n R

The Game - Disturbed

Break Stuff (i guess you could get the edited version)- Limp Bisket

Battery - Metallica

Right Now- Van Halen

Hahaha if you want a good entrance song you cant go wrong with:

Seperate Ways- Journey


just to name a few off the top of my head, i was usually in charge of making a cd, but no swear words is difficult

yeah tell me about it

If you wanted to go classical with a twist try Emerson, Lake and Palmer's version of "Fanfare for the Common Man" Good beat, no swear words--in fact no words at all!! ELP's Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression-Part 2 (aka Welcome Back my Friends to the Show that Never Ends) from their Brain Salad Surgery album is pretty cool. They also did a rock version of Pictures at an Exhibition.

I know laxfan25 was ribbing you, but here's some good classical pieces with a harder edge:

Night on Bald Mountain
Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite-- The Hall of the Mountain King
Holst's the Planets--Mars and Jupiter
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture
Rossini's William Tell Overture
Bach's Toccata and Fugue (Think your classical horror movie music)
Beethoven's pretty good too

[beckner11]

Enter Sandman- Metallica
TNT- ACDC
Remember the Name- Fort Minor
Heart of a Champion- Nelly...but you gotta get the version that has some choir with him, its much better!

Theres always stuff like Sweet Home Alabama and Magic Carpet Ride...those are clean that work for some people

I would keep the profanity out just to keep the penalty box cleared. I know a few refs that would throw a flag on the music.

The Rangers used to always play Dire Straits Walk of Life when they took the field. I know it is fairly mellow, but I liked it. I always thought that someone should play Cotton Eyed Joe when an official makes a bad call. Give the crowd a reason to yell the bs word.

"eye of the tiger"

lil lady forgot this classic

Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries".

ARRGH!!! How could I forget that one!!! It has a Horn part that is just phenomenal!! It's also one of my favorites, really makes you want to pick up a weapon and start swinging!

Personally I hate it anymore. When the Air Cav moved onto the small Kaserne where I lived, they started blasting that at 0530 every morning through loud speakers. Got really old, really fast especially since I worked rotating shifts.

[JosueSays]

I didn't know that they actually listen to that song... Have you ever seen Apocalypse Now? I always thought it was a pretty cool/screwed up part of a movie because all these guys are flying around blasting people to a soundtrack... But I guess warming up to a soundtrack isn't so bad. But yah, I was about to suggest listening to that song; it is awesome.
