Off-day fun: Choose your own walkup/warmup music

[valpocrewsader]

If I were a closer, no doubt I'd come in to Helloween's speedy power metal gem "Save Us". Just bide my time in the bullpen during the opening launch sequence as the crowd ramps up, then sprint out to the mound Coffey-style once the the speedy riffs and double-bass get going. Hit the mound about the time the chorus starts up, "Pleeeease, save us! Pleeease saaave us." It would make Hells Bells look like Kumbaya. It would be the most awesome thing since awesome came to awesometown.

 

In my dreams, at least. When I'm sleeping.

I can't think of a better pump up song than Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Oh, man, I hated that song before some of you guys were born.

I agree that Jump Around is ideal for pumping up a crowd. It's been used a few times at MP in extra innings, but then the Brewers seemed to favor that "more cowbell" clip.

Valpo, your post above might be my favorite post of yours ever.

Flight of the Conchords - Boom

[Mike2k33]

A question that I often ponder, foolishly.

 

Batting:

 

Pearl Jam - Even Flow

Beastie Boys - New Style(starting at "Let me clear my throat!" and ending before the "22 automatic on my person" part)

Pink Floyd - Echoes(starting at 18:14 up to 18:44)

Metallica - Ride the Lightning

The Doors - Five to One

 

Pitching:

 

Pink Floyd - One of These Days

Metallica - Battery

Pitching, only:

 

"I'm Shakin'" -- Rooney

"Guilty Pleasure" -- Cobra Starship

[InsomniacInkRoss]

Great call on the Dragonforce, they are a total guilty pleasure

 

I was at a wedding and the grand march was "Walk" by Pantera

[JimH5]

I would go with a rotation of Dance Floor by Zapp, 17 Days by Prince, Stomp! by the Brothers Johnson, Fake by Alexander O'Neal and Music by D Train.

While the crowd would be underwhelmed by my baseball playing, they would at least be tapping their feet.

[kestrel79]

Master of Puppets would probably be my first pick.

 

Or Domination by Pantera. One of the best metal solos of all time.

 

I have fooled around with these songs as my walkup music in MLB The Show for ps3, pretty fun and Master of Puppets gets me jacked up every time.
