Title: Need song advice
Post by: elizabeth on March 20, 2009, 11:59:28 PM: I'm too scared to call in to ask Tom in case he wants to throw roller derby in the hate pit but I need a suggestion for a rousing song to play while the announcer announces my roller derby team's entrance at our bouts. The lights go down and all you hear is music... so dramatic! My teammates are suggesting works by Rob Zombie and newer hard rock bands I'm not aware of. I'm sure to get great suggestions from all of you.

Supernaut by Black Sabbath

http://www.seeqpod.com/search/?plid=6a09c260d2

Seconded (though for some reason I wanted to chime in with the Electric Eels' "Agitated," which is less "we're comin' to get you" than "we are mentally unstable and easily irritated").

Also, if we're thinking ABBA, "Waterloo" would be cooler than "Gimme Gimme".
Also, if you want girl power, What about Heart's cover of "Rock and Roll"?

Post by: johnD on March 21, 2009, 12:32:38 PM: I agree with Supernaut. I'll add a suggestion too: "Redneck" or "In Your Words" by Lamb of God

A roller derby is like fighting on roller skates right?

Title: Re: Need song advice
Post by: Big Plastic Head on March 21, 2009, 02:14:05 PM: elizabeth: Speaking as a derby fan I would recommend looking farther back:

'Cmon Let's Go (http://music.yahoo.com/track/7358057)' or 'Emergency (http://music.yahoo.com/track/7358058)' - Girlschool
'Rebel Girl (http://music.yahoo.com/track/1429866)' - Bikini Kill
'She's a Knockout (http://music.yahoo.com/track/817234)' - Social Distortion
'20th Century Boy (http://music.yahoo.com/track/2030148)' - T-Rex (or the Girlschool cover of the same song (http://music.yahoo.com/track/7358314))

Who do you skate for and what's your derby handle?

The Fucking Champs -- Policenauts

This song makes me laugh. I don't know why. TFC do that to me with a number of songs, as does Dragon Force, although that's likely because Dragon Force albums sound like someone took the final track from 10 concept albums about Lord of The Rings and put them all on one album.

"Watch Song", Shellac
"New Radio", Bikini Kill
"Ramblin Rose", MC5

I was half-kidding with my ABBA suggestion. This is my real suggestion. This rocks.

Post by: JonFromMaplewood on March 23, 2009, 11:47:41 PM: The Girl Talk track "Like This" - the part where it samples the Metallica "One" riff under Lil Mama.

Or Pantera's "Mouth For A War"

I DracSearched this to see if I can d/l the song. This is the intro to Eye in the Sky by Alan Parsons? I guess I've only heard radio edits.

Post by: dave from knoxville on April 25, 2009, 02:39:37 PM: The song you want is Ronnie Montrose's "Open Fire"

Go to this site

http://www.amazon.com/Montrose/e/B000AQ36OQ/ref=ntt_mus_dp_pel (http://www.amazon.com/Montrose/e/B000AQ36OQ/ref=ntt_mus_dp_pel)

Click on the album Open Fire, then cllck on the sample for that song. It's perfect for roller derby.

Post by: Big Plastic Head on April 26, 2009, 01:34:36 PM: I went down a couple weeks ago and saw my friends skate down in Humboldt. They came out, skating real slow and real low to this as they were announced. I am embarrassed to say, it was great.
