Mood setting music, suggestions?


Pigstein

Recommended Posts

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.

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 by Rhapsody.

 

Well, actually, anything power metal.

 

 

 

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

"Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

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)

 

 

 

:D

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

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.
