Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Falcons Captain Of The Tailgate: Music Edition

Sponsored posts pay the bills around here, and so we move forward on another one.

Over the last two weeks, we've established the grub and brews that everyone likes to have at their game day tailgates/sitting on the couch parties. This week, we're talking what music you use to get amped before the game. Perhaps you like a little metal, a lot of hip hop or a little Vivaldi. We don't judge.

Discuss!

All metal, all the time.

Until I snag my hands on Karabiner’s 1984 DVD audio rendition of Winter, Allegro from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Mutter’s violin solo makes me weep every time.

that 1984 soundtrack is wicked!

one of the few movies that didn’t disappoint the reader either…

Mudhoney, Scratchacid, Big Black, Melvins

Brahms and Chopin don’t keep pace with my Falcons heart rate, though I’ve definitely spun out to other dimensions with Rachmaninoff.

I know what it feels like

I went to work an hour after the Baltimore game ended (like 9 am), and I had that crazy look – unshaved, wild eyes that looked tired but energized at the same time

Lately, I've been looking for highlight videos of the Falcons on youtube to see what music they use.

I found this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5lvpSX754c

It’s really neat.

Usually I’ll listen to things like AC/DC, Motley Crue, the old rock stuff that gets your blood pumping faster than anything short of 130 mph on a honda cbr1000rr.

I'm usually not that big a fan of rap music

but it’s kinda hard not to grin and bob your head to that

Sevendust

“Falcons On Top” by Sevendust. Always gets me pumped for the Falcons. Randomly found it a few days ago.

by falconnuke on Nov 12, 2010 10:49 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah. That's actually a cover of the "Falcons on Top" done by someone affiliated with the team.

I have no idea why Sevendust decided they wanted to do a cover of it (an agreement with the team, obviously) but it’s really awesome! They debuted it at the 49ers game. It was really, really cool to see.

That'd make you a Mastodon fan, then, wouldn't it?

Mastodon = Best band in the world.

Nothing gets me more pumped than “Blood and Thunder”

The drummer is not human.

He is from Roddy Whites planet only from a musical village of white burley aliens.

rec'd for Mastodon! hadnt really heard of 'em till I saw 'em in concert with Slipknot a couple of years back. A fan now...

all metal all of the time, though my choices may be more lame.. mudvayne, slipknot, disturbed, korn, breaking benjamin, sevendust, ra, five finger death punch etc… gets the blood flowing…
also, the nfl films soundtrack music… love it, and a lot of it sounds like it came from old school Godzilla movies…

I have no vampire experience, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got there, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

WREK 91.1 & ALBUM 88.5

Be thankful, Atlanta, that’s some of the best indie radio East of Austin & South of NY. No joke.

LINKIN PARK

Huge fan, maybe listen to Numb/Encore or Bleed it Out.

by Mattyice318 on Nov 13, 2010 12:34 AM EST reply actions  

Funny, or sadly-

no music for me before the game.

1 of 2 Falcons fans in Los Angeles? The Billionth Lakers fan in Los Angeles? Either way, I'm happy.

by Kashberry on Nov 13, 2010 1:07 AM EST reply actions  

Mastodon, Baroness, System of a Down, Motorhead, and even Clutch

every now and then. Anything that just makes you wanna jump up and hit somebody

Almost perfect.

Awesome mix, and you almost earned one of my highly coveted “recs”, but….. you listed Boy George , which implies the singer’s highly derivative solo work, and not the pure, adrenaline laced, macho-musical experience of Culture Club, which, most 80s euro-pop androgynous supergroup experts feel, is way more pro-football tailgate pre-game party appropriate. I am guessing this was done purposely on your part, dear Ball Hawk, as you wisely listed the testosterone-heavy works of Wham! (although, it must be pointed out, you lost a little street cred with me, and I’m sure most on this site, by erroneously omitting the “!” at the end of the super-duo’s name (Wham! not Wham -I’m sure you can easily see the importance of the error when seeing the two variations, correct and incorrect, side by side. A significant loss of “Zazz!” occurs when the incomplete title of the Grammy award winning super-duo’s act is utilized. A common, but ultimately, as stated before, street cred losing mistake), and not the more R&B inspired, soulful, but, ultimately, slightly less NFL pre-game tailgate pump-up worthy, results of George Michaels solo work.

so close my friend…..

I guess it's up to me then...

I LIKE RAP MUSIC. Older artists like snoop, tupac, biggie, etc..
Some newer ones like TI and Lil Wayne also.
But I do have to say that my ALL TIME favorite band is… wait for it….
FOREIGNER!!
 Hot blooded, jukebox hero, cold as ice… gotta love that shit man!!

Yeah, thats me.
