RedM Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd bring back some of the rousing stuff we used to play. Muse Knights of Cydonia, when i hear that i think we are ready for a fight and fired up. Chemical Brothers Galvanise has a similar effect on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been the same old stuff for years. Knights of Cydonia was an inspired choice a few years ago. Seriously good suggestion. At least they scrapped Elbow @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Hi Matt, do you think it would be possible to ask Seb the matchday DJ to register on the forum? Might be worth having a song suggestions thread or something. I appreciate he may not want to of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 @Phileas Foggand scrapping the Black Eyed Peas was a bonus too. Spent too many wet winters nights trudging into the ground hearing 'I got a feeling, Tonights gonna be a good night' only to find out a couple of hours later their feeling was totally wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 On the atmosphere point. Quite agree on our day it's terrific. I was watching back some past games- Cup and League- on Tuesday (I say watching, YouTube it was, audio and was listening as I worked), and one that really stood out was vs Swindon 2015! That was fantastic, the whole game is on Youtube. That was only 12,302 according to a bit of research...over double attendance on 23rd, imagine what we can do with that!

Septic Peg Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm curious as to what's played in the dressing room pre-match. What gets the boys hyped up? I'd like to think Queen - We Will Rock You or Don't Stop Me Now. Or maybe White Stripes - 7 Nation Army or Eminem - Lose Yourself. Personally if Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger isn't played, I'd be having words. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO or @AdamB can you let us in on pre-match dressing room music?

So it's nice to have something to listen to whilst everyones downing their pints in the concourse I would agree normally but the United game there was loads in there around 45 mins early and it was getting quite noisy then.

spudski Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Have the Club ever done any market research with the fan base, as to whether they want music blaring out before a game? Maybe @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO could consider this and discuss with the Club at some point? I noticed at Man City how good the sound system and lighting was...perfect. All at the right levels. You could hear some music, but it wasn't so loud as to drown out conversations, or a natural atmosphere being created by the fans. Sometimes at the Gate, I just give up talking to fellow fans as it's impossible to chat over the sound system. How many fans come to a ground to listen to music? How many fans come to a ground to meet with friends, fellow fans, chat, sing and chant, and support the boys and just watch the game? Worth considering? As for the OP's suggestion...not a bad suggestion if it was the only track played just before KO. Imo...music being played stops atmosphere building naturally. It does the opposite to what it's meant for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 They could do a ,lot worse than playing Gareth Chilcotts , pre first leg ,rousing ‘speech’ featured on Local BBC and linked on here earlier in week (just before the sides emerge ) ‘ Success is forged , in the fires of failure.........’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 When the club asked Massive Attack to write something for the team to run out to they refused and said the team should run out to the sound of the crowd instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds terrible and our fans don't even sing it at games! Far better Wurzels tracks to choose which we actually do sing. I love the song, but totally agree - it's not one that many will join in with so we just have the sound of applause instead of any actual atmosphere as players walk out. Is there any real reason to only play Drink Up at FT and only after a win? At least it's one people join in with. Same for Blackbird too. Currently the entrance is a bit tame. Mind you at least it's not the Liquidator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you at least it's not the Liquidator. I think it just doesn't sound right for a football song. It's too slow - but not slow enough to be a loud rousing singalong one like 'Sunshine on Leith', 'Marching on Together' or 'YNWA'. It just sort of bops along at a tempo people can clap to as you say. I agree and think we could rethink the entrance altogether - must be something better we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Let the teams come out to 20,000+ fans singing "Were Bristol City, our City is red". The players can take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalovex Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Personally, I've really enjoyed the Puff Daddy re-working of Led Zeppelins 'Kashmir' (Come To Me), just before kick off. Heavy, intimidating, no cheesy lyrics and it's a relatively short burst right before the players come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 No music would be my preference (especially for big games) as the crowd will create the atmosphere, failing that some nasty heavy metal or punk just to put Man City off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is that? The most I’ve heard is a few people clapping along and some older people mumbling along when the song is played. What I meant though was people singing it spontaneously as one of our songs which they don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
