Entrance Music

[thunderider]

we come on to some thing by magnet man or the prodigy....id like to use frank zappa peaches en regalia...but my band think its strange... i think its brill!!

[JamesBass]

Maybe an original number that has a long synth-y intro with loads of pre programming could be used? Entrance music isn't everyones cuppa, it's certainly not mine but if it's done well I can appreciate it, have a play and see what your band would rather, start to narrow it down between a classical piece like Mars or Hall of the Mountain King, something satirical like Barbie girl? Gangnam Style Or an original number?

[SpaceChick]

Entrance music? I dream of a gig where I can justify entrance music...!!

Our gigs tend to be waiting for the crappy pub landlord to give us the nod before the guitarist tries to shout an hello down the mike before we burst into our first sub standard number!

[Dropzone]

We are playing covers with a few well recieved originals in pubs. We get a good sized crowd and want to life ourselves (without being too pretentious) above the satndard pub cover band fare. I suppose uplifting and passionate is what we are looking for to get people ready for the onslaught. We do play modern metal so have to pick our pubs wisely but we seem to be doing well out of it ;-)

[RockfordStone]

we did a walk on to the armageddon score once or twice, was pretty cool

[Lozz196]

I`ve always liked the idea of coming on to the them tune of The Long Good Friday:

We've used some very old [edited] recordings of both Teddy Bear's Picnic and the Housewives Choice theme.

Or you could go for a bit of Wiseblood or The Gerogerigegege. If nothing else they'll be dead happy when you finally come on.

I spent 7 mins waiting for Wiseblood to start and 5 mins wondering if my soundcard/codecs were buggered listening to The Gerogerigegege. You owe me 12 mins you b*stard.

In my 80s band, We have an intro of a collage of clips from back to the future, and we launch into power of love...

[mep]

In our current bands previous incarnation we had the JAWS tune!

Sorry about that.

^ The Gerogerigegege! One certainly doesn't expect to see them mentioned very often. And not without good reason, I suppose! I stumbled upon one of their albums in a Dutch secondhand record shop, and looked them up based on nothing more than the name and subtitle 'Ultra Sh*t Japanese Band'. I had no idea they would take the interpretation of that title so literally in their performances. *[i]shudder[/i]*

My first thought was to suggest Masonna as a purveyor of complete noise, but his stuff has vocals. Sort of. Like The Gerogerigegege his recorded output is completely unlistenable, but he was a stunningly good live proposition. Which I suppose goes to prove that live shows are about much more than just the music. Especially when there is no music.

Not sure I could put some of those in the "uplifting" category, but if they float your boat ;-)

Still not sure what our opening tune will be. We normally match it to run over the ending of the entrance music so that will need to be decided first.

We currently have a mish mash or Korn Slipknot and Drowning Pool text and spoken word that runs into Korns Shoots and Ladders.

I wanted to use this but it was vetoed by the rest of the band.

The Happy Tree Friends tune.
The score from the Halloween movie.
These are a few of my favorite things- from that musical....

[Johngh]

we used the thunderbirds theme. but only used it once as we just stood about like lemons. they don't really work in pubs

[Dropzone]

I agree. Too short not worth it. Too long you look like lemons.

[Low End Bee]

We've previously used the theme tune to Where Eagles Dare or the dogfight theme from Battle of Britain. We just settle for 15 seconds of feedback as the intro to the first song these days.

Jupiter from the Planets opening Mott the Hoople shows is my favourite.

One old band worked our way through a compilation album of TV themes. The A-Team was good, but a personal highlight was coming on to the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air theme and the singer spontaneously leading a crowd singalong before launching straight into our loudest, fastest tune.

My old band used to kick things off with the theme to Buffy The Vampire Slayer by Nurf Herder. It never failed to get things off to a good start.

Yes just remembered this, awesome start.

[Stan_da_man]

Forgive me because I don't know the name (or artist) but The Apprentice intro music would be cool to walk onto. Like Jaws but not as... bitey.
