KingBoots8 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I mean, would you prefer “Song 2” by Blur? Its possibly the one song played universally at sporting events more than 7NA, but that’s more of a “Soccer Football” thing than a “Gridiron Football” thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is 20yrs old and, as far as I’m aware, has zero relevance to Buffalo. In my opinion, playing this song comes off as tacky, outdated and simply put: embarrassing. 1. Why do we play this song? 2. Who is responsible for selecting the playlist on game days. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I think of this song more for Ravens game days. They've featured the Seven Nation Army tune for as long as I can remember going to that Stadium, which is many years. I don't recall it being used in Buffalo until well after. So I think the Bills jumped on the bandwagon which many teams have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Bills should be playing more TOOL on 3rd downs, seems they get a stop every time they play Sober! NE played a ton of TOOL inside Gillette on defense through the Brady era and they seemed to do pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aso for the people who don't think it is a classic... well I'm gonna fight 'em off, a seven nation army couldn't hold me back! Thank you! I saw the White Stripes on a tiny stage many moons ago and they blew me away.

The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 My friends and I call it the white trash chant 🤣 We assumed it was a Buffalo thing, but yesterday I noticed Baltimore using it. We are in fact, white. Just to clarify. Personally hate the White Stripes and that hipster alternative/retro crap that came out like 15-20 years ago, but it's a fun chant.

Buffalo ill Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) The song is overplayed but all stadium songs are. Jack White seems like the kind of guy who would show up to an event in a Tesla and shame everyone who drove a combustion engine car to the party.

Freak-O, I'm not getting into a back and forth with you over hair metal and Jack White. For starters, there's a reason hair metal is never coming back and there's a reason Jack White built his own instruments in his music, won over 12 Grammy's, and is actually living to enjoy his retirement. 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think the Bills jumped on the bandwagon which many teams have done. I think it’s Wisconsin that plays U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name before the home game. They really crank it. At the beginning it almost feels like you’re coming to church with the harmonium music and then it breaks out. They also play “Jump Around” by House of Pain just before the start of the 4thQ. Started in 1998 and it’s awesome to see all the students and fans literally jump around. Especially at a big rivalry game. Another college team would do “Mr. Brightside” and it seemed like it was a unique until frickin everyone started playing that all through any kind of game everywhere. It would be cool to have our own signature song that is played at a specific time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeby Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Cause it gets many people pumped up and crazy train - over 40 years old and nothing to do with Buffalo- is way over used. May I suggest 'A Milli' by Lil Wayne? Real loud so the snare sounds like gun shots. That would get a rise out of everyone of one form or another; and maybe some lawsuits too. Good stuff.
