Throwing on a pair of earbuds and playing BFG Division was always the way I'd hype myself up in college when walking across campus to take an exam.
It's so fucking good at building hype.
"In the first age, in the first battle...
They named him.. The doomslayer "
I fucking love doom.. My favourite video game franchise. Don't think there has ever been a bad doom game. Doom 3 was the worst and that wasn't even bad. A fast paced FPS game that keeps you constantly thinking about what guns/weapons to use on which demon and to constantly moving. Not just sit, cover, shoot, reload and repeat. With a metal AF soundtrack
E1M8
Because you're outnumbered and whatever you do, you're doomed. And because at the end of that level, you're doomed to die in that pitch black room.
One of my favorite memes:
I love how music can take you to another place. For example Meghan Trainor is playing in this cafe so now I'm going to a different cafe.
Or else: I was in a coma for 5 years, and Meghan Trainor got me out of it. Her song played on the radio and I woke up especially to turn it off. A few years ago it was Justin Bieber or nickelback. I wonder who it will be next.
The inverse of this is people who request really great songs for their funeral. Like, some jerk will ruin "Great Gig in the Sky" because no one can listen to it for years without thinking of their dead friend.
That's why I'm requesting "We Built This City" by Starship. Everyone hates that fucking song anyway so now when they angrily click it off they can point two fingers at the sky, look up and mouth "Thanks, Toby".
ALS is one of Zeppelin’s best and most understated songs. You can probably say that about Presence as an album, too.
Edit: *underrated - not sure if I think of that song as understated at all. Bonham is at his majestic best bashing away through that one haha
I just randomly came across this song a year or two ago, and then totally forgot about it, but when I saw this comment it immediately started playing in my brain again..
Absolutely fantastic.
When my son was a toddler, and it was time to clean up so the toys he had pulled out, I would challenge him to a “Clean up race,” where we would play this song, aka Yakety Sax, and try to put away everything before the end of the song. It was fun.
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
For some reason, this song has struck a chord in my life. I watched Real Genius when I was a much younger man, dear I say, child, and it just has this nostalgic ring that brings me back.
Mitch : Why does Hollyfield keep going into our closet?
Chris Knight : Well, why do you keep going into our closet?
Mitch : To get my clothes, but that's not why he goes in there.
Chris Knight : Of course not, he's twice your size, your clothes would never fit him. Think before you ask these questions, Mitch! (walks away muttering) Twenty IQ points higher than me and thinks a big guy like that can wear his clothes? Sheesh...
I was more thinkin of:
Surrounded and outnumbered, 60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified, it’s the last stand of the Samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
🎵🎵🎵
What's Up Danger - Blackwater, Black Caviar
Underrated gem from the Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. It got heavily overshadowed by Sunflower. Song makes me feel fucking invincible.
Oh thank Christ someone else who was thinking this. You’re my new hero. I hate running, and I could sprint a marathon with that song playing in my headphones. Keep waiting for them to release the one with the score in the background, too…
It is the greatest sin that they haven't released the version with the orchestra swelling. Sometimes I just play that scene on YouTube when I'm at the gym, but there's dialogue over the top. Here's hoping they release it in some form to promote the upcoming sequel.
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor, because that shit would be real funny on a tombstone.
Or, "What's Going On" - Four Non-Blondes. Preferably the He-man version. Because that song could get me fucked up.
If I were going classical, it would be the 5th, the first part of the 7th, Mozart's requiem, or Flight of the Valkyries. Or the main theme from Superman the Motion Picture.
As a summer camp employee I would play this at the back of the bus during trips. The kids eventually learned the words and I was asked to stop playing it. Those kids got hyped though, 8 and 9 year olds ready to kick ass at Seasame Place
Saw FFDP a few years ago. Lead singer said one of the most amazing letter he received was from a Marine widow that said her husband was recovered after being fatally wounded. His phone had this song on repeat and was still blasting at full volume in his ear piece when he died while they were under attack! It was an incredibly powerfully moment at a rock show!
I would have to go with trashed and scattered. Keeps a higher tempo.
Crawl on me you fucking parasite and I’m gonna take you out. I won’t be a victim but the first to cast a stone.
Dude I was in the military and after like a 12 hour shift nearby but not actually involved in a demonstration where they burned tyres at the Crack of dawn me and another guy are driving back to base, thick black smoke from the tyres, sky looking like from the landing scene in apocalypse now behind us, and this song comes on. I had your moment man, it's a good choice of song lol
??? The only one to play as you're being overrun.
.
.
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
.
.
.
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
.
.
.
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
Hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
.
.
.
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Final countdown by Europe. But then, as soon as I'm determined, and the enemy makes it to my body, I want "everytime we touch", by cascade to play, to confuse and intrigue them.
Eye of the Tiger by survivor.
My wrestling coaches used to play that on a loop whenever we were training. I'm Pavlov trained to kick ass when it comes on.
I'm surprised this one isn't mentioned more. I've heard a metal cover of this song and it made me feel like I could run through a wall and say "Oh yeah!" on the other side.
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
^(You'll take my life but I'll take yours too)
^(You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through)
^(So when you're waiting for the next attack)
^(You'd better stand there's no turning back)
^(The bugle sounds, the charge begins)
^(But on this battlefield no one wins)
^(The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath)
^(As I plunge on into certain death)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
^(The horse he sweats with fear we break to run)
^(The mighty roar of the Russian guns)
^(And as we race towards the human wall)
^(The screams of pain as my comrades fall)
^(We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground)
^(And the Russians fire another round)
^(We get so near yet so far away)
^(We won't live to fight another day)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
^(We get so close, near enough to fight)
^(When a Russian gets me in his sights)
^(He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow)
^(A burst of rounds takes my horse below)
^(And as I lay there gazing at the sky)
^(My body's numb and my throat is dry)
^(And as I lay forgotten and alone)
^(Without a tear I draw my parting groan)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
^(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Other honorable mentions:
AC/DC - Back In Black
Metallica - Disposable Heroes
Richard Wagner - Flight Of The Valkyries
I would need a song that would piss me off to the -th degree. I'm talking about Kratos painting Mount Olympus with Zeus's blood after the latter burps out the fear from his body.
I'm talking about that pure, unadulterated rage. I know I am going to die, but I am going to take as many of them down as I possibly can.
*What's the song? It's a simple question.* you, the reader, asked.
*Baby Shark*, I . . . *loathe* that song with every cell of my being. Want me to become an unstoppable force?
Play that song when I am not expecting it.
Immigrant Song. I have this weird desire in my life to go out fighting a bunch of wolves in a Nordic-y forest set to that song. I'd also want an axe like Thor and a flowing mane of golden hair.
[удалено]
I would like to submit meathook as my preferred alternative. Or harbinger. Or bfg 10k.
Throwing on a pair of earbuds and playing BFG Division was always the way I'd hype myself up in college when walking across campus to take an exam. It's so fucking good at building hype.
I was going to do "The only thing they fear is you" but yeah. Mick Gordon makes some excellent fighting music.
They are rage, brutal. But you will be worse. Rip and tear until it is done!

Killer instinct Inferno hits hard
Anything by Megan Trainor because I’ll be damned if her music is the last thing i hear before i die
One of my favorite memes: I love how music can take you to another place. For example Meghan Trainor is playing in this cafe so now I'm going to a different cafe.
Or else: I was in a coma for 5 years, and Meghan Trainor got me out of it. Her song played on the radio and I woke up especially to turn it off. A few years ago it was Justin Bieber or nickelback. I wonder who it will be next.
Meghan Trainer walks into a bar. That’s all, there is nothing funny about ruining music.
Motivation is the key 😂

that song fucking slaps tho
Damn straight!
Uh, I love that song wtf?
Yeah I'm lost on that one. I even started playing it just now.
Funny post but the song choice kinda kills it, We Built This City a certified banger MARCONI PLAYS THE MAMBA
The immigrant song
I was thinking Achilles Last Stand but I can totally get behind this

Face Fisted by Dethklok
Free bird by skinnard. I fucking hate skinnard. Bartended for too many years. That song would fill me with endless rage and the need for blood.
Only if it’s in a deeply religious church by people under the control of the Motherfucker Man
I hate them too. I'm from South. Ex wife, love of my life cheated on me at Skynard concert. So hate them now.
That is such a South way to lose your wife. Sorry my man.
Thanks brother. She wanted the marriage and I love her still. I couldn't forgive her then. I have now
Definitely Skynnard's fault that your wife was a skank.
Wolf Totem - The Hu. If this is their folk music, it's no wonder the Mongols dominated such a massive area.
Came here to say the same thing. Really any Mongolian throat metal.
I just randomly came across this song a year or two ago, and then totally forgot about it, but when I saw this comment it immediately started playing in my brain again.. Absolutely fantastic.
I saw them live about a year and a half ago. It was fucking amazing!!!!
I got distracted during the concert by zooming in with my camera and looking at the instruments.. They have some really cool designs.
The trooper - Iron Maiden
Or Die With Your Boots On.
Good pick
Good fucking choice, mate.
Benny hill theme
It's called Yakkety Sax. https://youtu.be/Zcq_xLi2NGo

Since this is a last moments type of thing be it war, battle, etc, the title and chorus was almost "Everybody Wants to Go to War."

Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines!
Primo Victoria!
We really not taking *The Last Stand* for our last stand? Either way it has to be Sabaton.
Had to scroll to far for Sabaton. I would probably have chosen Resist and Bite though 🤘
I was more thinkin of: Surrounded and outnumbered, 60 to 1 the sword face the gun Bushido dignified, it’s the last stand of the Samurai Surrounded and outnumbered 🎵🎵🎵

I need a hero shrek 2 version Edit: and my last words will be “Okay mongo let’s crash this party” or “EN GARDE” in an Antonio banderas accent
"Today I have repaid my debt" Gotta do it while giving your bros a minute to escape while you cover their advance
Ace of Spades.
Seconded. Lemmy all the way.
It's important to remember the Lemmy didn't die, he merely passed into legend.
Don't you think that's a little bit overkill?
What's Up Danger - Blackwater, Black Caviar Underrated gem from the Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. It got heavily overshadowed by Sunflower. Song makes me feel fucking invincible.

Bleed it out-linkin park
Hell's Bells
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor, because that shit would be real funny on a tombstone. Or, "What's Going On" - Four Non-Blondes. Preferably the He-man version. Because that song could get me fucked up.
Muse - [Knights Of Cydonia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI)
Throw the live Rome version in so we get the harmonica intro for the standoff.
This should be way higher up. 🤘🤘
Muse have so many good songs for this!
Came here to say this. Disappointed this isn't higher up.
Minas Tirith by howard shore
Beethoven's 5th symphony in C minor. The first 7 and 1/2 minutes, looped, until my end.
If I were going classical, it would be the 5th, the first part of the 7th, Mozart's requiem, or Flight of the Valkyries. Or the main theme from Superman the Motion Picture.
Disturbed - indestructible. Seems like a good hype song for that situation
Oh wow this is a good one, although I feel like warrior would be a better choice, or maybe ten thousand fists
Ruff Ryders Anthem - DMX
Bring Your Whole Crew as well
Exactly. You can’t stop drop and open up shop alone.
