MU Entrance Music - U2 ? Or is it time for a change?

[Anti-Dentite]

If we want to go more tribal to represent our Warrior roots, check this out.... start at about 0:45 and let it ride for a minute.  Imagine several Indian Warriors coming out of the tunnel first, doing a war dance.  That would send a message to the away team and is worth +2 home wins every year.

   It would be cool and it's also never going to happen.

Pass. No native american imagery please

What's wrong with you people. The answer is obvious.

If we run with this, the type of player we recruit will drastically change.  Nonetheless, I do like it. 

[MUSF]

Two options:

Ram Jam - Black Betty

Nazareth - Hair of the Dog

[Blue Horseshoe]

Keep U2. It's been one constant through the last decade plus that has arguably been MU's best run of form since the 1970s.

One has nothing to do with the other. NEW SONG.

[Hards Alumni]

The problem with selecting a new song is it will be hard to agree on, and fans (old and young) and players will have to like it.

Streets has the advantage of tradition...

I have a new song that will join both the old and young.... but I shall not reveal it until I put the song with a video showing MU highlights + intros.  Stay tuned !!!

Otherwise, I will continue to throw ideas out there to gauge how people feel.  Nonetheless, I think we need something that's more powerful and edgy than U2.  The song just feels ... not manly anymore.

The argument of "tradition" holds no water. Traditionally, women were not admitted to Marquette. Traditionally, slavery was legal (btw, slavery is still 30 million strong, legal or not). Traditionally electricity wasn't used for power, traditionally people migrated less than 100 miles from their place of birth during a lifetime. Tradition...

Look, I HATE U2, but I can tolerate "Streets." If you pick something, make it semi-obscure but awesome like "Sirius." Look to the world of professional wrestling, that has like 50 different entrances for the current crop of guys any given year. They have a lot of samey nu-metally garbage, but the good ones really work wonders. My favorite currently is used by the Wyatt Family, who come out to "Live in Fear."

Moody, creepy, and fantastic because of how different is is from everything else thats typically used. Now, I would personally like our basketball team to be creepy and terrifying, but I can understand almost no one else would be on board with it. but basically, you just have to take something and make it Marquette's own. They have arguably done that with "Streets," as much as any one can make a U2 song identifiable with something other than U2, and I think it should stay, because frankly it can get immensely worse, if I am to take almost all of the suggestions in this thread seriously.

[Eldon]

Two very underappreciated songs:
1) Balrog's theme music
2) Castlevania IV's main theme. The one from SNES

EDIT: I originally made this comment in jest, but now that I'm humming it to myself, then loudly to everyone else on the bus that I'm on, I actually think Balrog's theme music woud be awesome. Seriously.  Any other super street fighter 2 turbo gen'ers agree?

Not a bad song at all, but I think it doesn't provide enough energy in it to pump up the crowd.  Nonetheless, I appreciate the input.  I wish more people would post their ideas.  I'm thinking of a movie soundtrack that seems very inspirational.  That seems to be the route to go as instrumental music is music that most can deal with.

I like how you think Eldon.  How about this?

[Aughnanure]

Out with U2 and in with the new. Let the players choose the music.

No.

[Blue Horseshoe]

No.

State your argument.

I am not necessarily opposed to players having a say in the opening song. It gives the players more ownership of the program.

Like each game is a different intro? I can dig it.
Another "perk" for athletes to come here.

But what are the costs involved (royalties, licensing, etc.)?

[GooooMarquette]

Junior singing "Livin' on a Prayer."

[rocket surgeon]

i've got it!!  krytonite/superman by 3 doors down-if that one doesn't get ya jazzed up you're sleeping.  can yo see some portion of this song being played, it's all dark, some cool video is going, then BAMM, the lights come on and the players intro starts.  the other team will be wetting itself sucking their thumbs curled up in the fetal position calling for momma

I'm no attorney, so I could be way off on this one. However, I think it depends on how MU uses the music. Will it only play at the Bradley Center before games? In that case I think MU would not owe any money. If the music is used on youtube videos and social media, I believe it depends on the length the music is used. If a song is played in its entirety then MU will have to shell out some dollars.

[Eldon]

Not bad, Deane'sGlasses.  I don't even remember metroid for SNES.  Liven it up to 2014 standards and it could work


And when we have Marquette Noche Latina the guys could come out to

"Introduciendo Los Goldenes Eagles de Marquette..."

[MUSF]

2 Live Crew - Me So Horny

[NickelDimer]

ODB should be up next.

U2 sucks.

I back this

[Blackhat]

  It would be cool and it's also never going to happen.

Sioux is a derogatory term, means snake given to the Dakota by enemy tribes.   Please, Dakota is the preferred nomenclature.

I should know, I'm very politically correct.

[Anti-Dentite]

Last try..."For Whom The Bell Tolls", Metallica. It tolls for thee John Thompson IV or whatever.

[MUSF]

I back this

I'd be down with some ODB, but my vote is for Dog S**t.
