Thunderstruck

[Doc]

I didn't mean that in the sense that I don't love AC/DC, I meant it in the sense that I really don't think it's going to be Thunderstruck.

Why? I just don't get this. What's going to get the players more fired up: a raucous crowd or a non raucous crowd but they get to listen to a song they like for 1 minute? Thunderstruck is a song that will appeal to a larger portion of the audience and and has a slow build with a malicious/unsettling tone AND it ties to our program perfectly. The only gripe anybody seems they can come up with is that the song is old. Who cares. Play a song from prehistoric times if it works.

Do you live under the world's largest rock?

The nice thing about that is EVERYTHING would be a new song. If he's like half the people in this thread he should love it.

This is just silly. You seem to forget that a song that the players would like the students would like as well. If your basing it on the crowd, who do you think is going to make more noise, a student or a middle aged man? Look up other college football entrances such as clemson, virginia tech, Auburn, hell even iowa and tell me the players dont get into it which in return, gets the crowd into it.

Something more appealing to 16-22 year old dudes would have been a smarter choice here.

16-22 year olds who form less than 1/4 of the fans in attendance, and fewer even still of the fans cheering for ISU.

Not us old farts' fault today's youth SUCKS at writing music. WTF is the team supposed to enter to? ****ing Kanye West? Katy Perry? **** that. Play something with adrenaline and ****ing balls. ACDC will do.

Disregard Manatee then.

I'll believe it when I hear it.

Kids these days would probably want the entrance song to be a sappy Drake song or maybe walk out to this:

Yeah I was just going off of the report by WRNL. I have no big time sources. I feel like Thunderstruck would be a solid song. Probably some others that would be better too

 

[3TrueFans]

First old people ruin Facebook and now the entrance song.

Pollard has so much antipathy toward the entrance song/uniform crowd, I'm not sure I would believe any source.

Not that he makes the decision, but I don't think they would be afraid to **** with people over the entrance song.

For all you negative Nancy's out there, at least it wasn't Riders On The Storm by the Doors.

 

[RedDog]

Timing the music with a Piper Cub Fly Over would be sweet.

 

[Redman97]

That "all the single ladies" song by Beyoncé is pretty catchy. At least my daughter likes it.

VT plays enter sandman -1991
Iowa plays Back in black - 1980

Interesting choice for examples.

When Thunderstruck is your entrance song...

 

[Cycsk]

This summer they were playing something on the videoboard that seemed like it could be an entrance song . . . and it wasn't Thunderstruck . . . but something much more along the lines of what Campbell said it would be.

And yes, I'm going to be that guy and not tell you what it was. It is not mine to announce.

See below and try again. And thanks for helping to prove my point.

Yes those are traditions.

Virginia tech started that tradition in 2000 when that song was still relevant
