Hello.

 

I always listen to music before an important sports performance (e.g: match, of any type). It helps me get in the mood of what I have to do.

 

For example when I play football (soccer), I play central defence (Fullback), I am a Nobby Styles kind of player (a.k.a, hard as nails, tough geezer)

 

 

 

I often start off listening to something like: Eminem - lose yourself.

 

I don't particularly like rap, but it helps me get in a good mood with that; you've got one shot, one opportunity stuff...

 

Then I listen to something a bit harder, this kind of F-you music, I guess it helps me over come fear of my opponents and that I go in hard into situations etc..

 

 

 

Anyway I was wondering does anyone else do this and if you do, could you suggest some songs for me please ;)

 

 

 

cheers,

 

Pigstein.

well, if you wana fight "lets go" by lil john should get you pumped :P. I dont like rap (in general) either but this song is one of the few thats good.

good pump up music...

 

 

 

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

 

Lithium - Nirvana

Try Paul Engemann - Push It To The Limit. Cheesy as hell.

flight of the valkyries

alright thanks guys, I'm off to bed now, keep ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâè'em coming!

flight of the valkyries

 

 

 

That's Ride of the Valkyries, and it's by Wagner.

You can always go for Eye of the Tiger.

Good pump up music? I recommend the following :

 

Metallica - Master of Puppets

 

Foo Fighters - In your honour

 

Iron Maiden - The Trooper

 

Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames

 

And if you have a good 20 mins on your own before the match then listen to Dream Theater - Octavarium.

 

 

 

There! That should give you a nice emotional cocktail. BTW I can't see how you'd ever need to get so pumped up for a game of football. Whenever I play, I have to stay calm and focus. Rugby on the other hand, I get really pumped up and when I have the ball you get 11 stone of crazy belting down the pitch at you.

Anything at all by Pantera.

 

 

 

Pantera = workout music.

That gets me in the mood for starting my own apocalypse. :mrgreen:

Anything by Rhapsody.

 

Well, actually, anything power metal.

 

 

 

"Yes you can" by Jewel. I listen to that before exams. :P

Therion - The wonderous world of punt.

 

 

 

 

 

listen to the entire song before judging it by the way :). You will see what I mean when it gets to about 4:00 in the song (about it being a good 'pump up' song)

Yup, It's 94 hours. :wink:

 

 

 

Yes, As I lay Dying and Lamb of God are good pump up music.

I've actually heard that classical music is really good before a sport match because it allows you to relax and focus and keep your cool.

 

 

 

But I personally prefer Metallica - Fade to Black, especially the intro and the killer guitar solo at the end. 8-)

 

 

 

Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle is pretty good, too.

I play central defence (Fullback)

 

make your mind up :P I guess you mean centreback instead of full? Same position as me.

 

 

 

Anyway yeah we used to listen to some rap on the way to the 5s games, but these days I don't listen to anything before a match. I've never noticed a real difference in how up for a game I am if I listened to music or not beforehand.

Another sugestion:

 

 

 

I just started getting into Viking folk metal, realy good 'pump up' song's. (they are realy epic). Heh, they are bassicly battle hymns.

 

 

 

Anyways, check out the band Moonsorrow. Has some good epic stuff.

Anything at all by Pantera.

That's what I was going to suggest. Pantera is definately pump-up music!
