Two very over rated bands. Throw Nirvana in there as well.

Already have done a few songs. They were good. One song was called Rap is Crap. It was better than any of the garbage coming out over the last ten years.
100% agree with you, Demon! I'm going to DM you some new metal I've been listening to...
I don't really care what they play during pre-game. Just the entrance song. That's when you want people getting jacked up with something loud - it almost has to be something in the arena rock genre. It really helps getting that right and getting people wound up, vs buzzkilling 60,000 people with something that doesn't work. E.g. Smoke on the Water.
People make "DO YOU FEEL AAAAALLLLLRIIIIIGHT" from the Mac era, and rightfully so, but it DID get people up and shouting. And no, I am not advocating a return to that lol

Filmed in Ames, too. Business law prof, former mayor, his name escapes me, told a story in class one day about having to help find Helen Hunt's dog when it got loose.
If we're using a local artist, I vote for Grubby Ernie covering "Cyclone City" (original by, um, Total Passover, I think...) Lyrics NSFW.
Anything by Grubby would make this middle-aged man smile. The only other local band from that era that I can think of right now that could work - 35" Mudder "Full Scale War". Late 90s-early 00s were a good time in Ames for music (IMHO.)
Listening to it again, I think it will work fine on the field, whether it's during warmups or accompanied with a video as entrance music.
I love the pregame festivities that hype the crowd up and I know that those types of things definitely hype up the team and get the juices flowing. If it were up to the players, they would most likely pick some sort of rap/hip-hop song, but the program does not want to alienate the crowd and play something that could be inappropriate or bleep out a bunch of lyrics that ruin the actual song.
My guess would be Welcome to the Jungle, Crazy Train, Hell's Bells, or something along those lines. If we do go the ACDC route, Iowa fans will 100% say we copied them, however I could really care less.

While I don't enjoy the song, I'd hate to be the guy who has to tell this guy we aren't using it:

Full Scale War would be a great entrance song! The kids on the team would probably dig it since it has a little bit of a rap vibe but it also has good energy to it. At least two of the guys from the band are ISU alums.
Some rap is very good. I like and listen to most genres. There is good and bad music with each. I am not a huge rap/hip hop fan but NWA, Eminem, Snoop has some very good stuff.
I honestly wouldn't even use it for that, Pregame warm ups would be the best use for it.
This song is not good. Hopefully, only used for pregame warmups. 816 Boyz had a much better tune several years ago that got only pregame warmups play. This should be no different. No offense Will. We would not even be discussing this if Pollard was not friends with the guy. It is a forgettable tune. Nearing Bugle proportions of bad but not quite there
Just keep the same song (Skillet?) as last year until you find something conclusively better. Then go to Power as the team takes the field.
No idea why marketing cannot play same football walkout music two years in a row when they continually shove Jock Jams down our throats at Hilton for 25 years now. Just mind boggling.
Including this song and Jake's latest release, the 816 Boyz/Tech N9ne is easily my least favorite.
Music, eh?
