row_33 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 For Wrestlemania I promotions we had Hulk encouraging Mr T doing his bench press yelling "Eye of the Tiger" and both of them trying not to laugh that gives the edge for me 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them, again, at a free show at Mohegan Sun 3 years ago but without him. They were good but it wasn’t the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeGarmo left awhile ago. Not the same band anymore really.

BillsFanM.D. Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Start at the :30 sec mark. Watch it through and feel the desire to rip someone's head off.

IslandBillsFan Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Eye of the Tiger rocks more. Especially since it will be remembered alongside Rocky which always pumps people up. However, when I worked in a bar at last call my manager would always play The Final Countdown. For that reason, I will always have a special place for it in my heart.

Nextmanup Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Agree the 2 songs referenced in the OP are horrible. Just thinking about those songs requires me to cleanse my musical palate.

Rico Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Neither, but Final Countdown reminds me of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, a team I truly loathed.... so I will say Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The Final Countdown would be considered a great song if it weren't sung by glam metal posers like Europe. John Norum is actually an excellent guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 When my daughter was living in the college dorm, the guy in the room next to hers would play Eye of the Tiger all day and at a loud volume. He did this for the entire semester that she lived next to him. People in the dorm politely asked him to turn it down, and he just kept doing it. Needless to say, my daughter hates that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulls on Parade, along with plenty of others would be a fine choice. I'll even add to it some Audioslave ones...Gasoline anyone? I can get pumped by Zack or Chris, no problem.

I had a neighbor in college who played DiVinyls "I Touch Myself" for about 13 straight hours on a loop - which amounts to some 200 times in a row. I haven't even listened to any songs I like two hundred times. I didn't know you could listen to a tape 200 times without wearing it out. But damn it, she did. And I'm not going to say it's the root cause of my mental illness...but damn it, I can't prove it's not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
