I think the crowd is pumped up regardless of the music, but thats just my opinion
Football: Walkout song

I always get a kick out of these gameday music threads. As long as it's loud and has a pounding beat, I won't complain.
And some of you have terrible taste in music.

Look up the best college entrances on Youtube...things they all have in common Extremely pumped up crowds and usually a very iconic song, with lots of rock and metal and a hell of a beat and rifts.
What none of them have...obscure rap songs by people with annoying voices like Lil Wayne. If they have rap it is a very iconic rap song, but very very few have rap.
I like some rap here and there, but very few I would ever call pump up songs.
Exactly. I'm not a rap fan at all but this song will play extremely well. People will b*tch no matter what just because that's what they do. The point of the song is to have some kind of a theme element to the Cyclones/team and the players are on board with it. It does this. People whining are just whiners.
And they don't change every damn year or two. Stick with something!
I bet they would still have the Kanye song if he didn't go crazy on Jews or whatever wild stuff he was saying.
you must be an oldhead putting drake in the same convo as Lil Wayne. Yes they did a lot of collabs together being a part of the same label for a while but they really aren't anywhere close in terms of rap talent
I wouldn't say it's a good song by any means, and it will sound like **** coming out of our broke ass sound system, but I'd prefer that to any of the nu metal that gets thrown around here. Nothing says small town Iowa boy (not saying this is you) like recommending Saliva for a D1 football intro.
Eh, the song they switched to after switching away from Power damn near put me to sleep.
VT's Enter Sandman might be one of the coolest, and I dont disagree ISU needs its own thing. I also wouldnt call Fireman obscure. I do think they need to lean into the Siren more
But... maybe embrace that we are small town Iowa and lots of our fans are. Maybe embrace who we are, not try to be something we arent.
I get the idea of the song. But it will turn off a lot of the fans, instead of getting them all together and pumped.
And no I dont suggest Saliva either.
And it will be distorted to **** coming out of the system we have.
Yes! Because every recruit outside the state wants to run out of the tunnel to cotton eyed joe
If they crank the siren right after "shh-the fireman coming" i think it could be bad ass
Dropping a big beat is all that matters. Nobody is air guitaring the riffs. It's about building anticipation and a timely drop. It's not rocket science, but marketing and fans seem to think so.
Can even the most music illiterate fans clap to it? Will it make students dance? Does it build drama and come to a crescendo?
Boom, you have a good entrance song.
I could be wrong but I think they were happy and stuck with the Kanye West walkout song for a few years. Then Kanye went nuts about the jews and we rightfully ditched it.
Lil Wayne's voice... is not for me. But you will hardly hear it because you will only hear the first 45 seconds give or take of the song and then everyone will be screaming. His voice is a non-factor. It's not about the song as a whole. It's about that beginning element. And I think it has the makings of something really cool when paired with a team walk out.
