JamesBass Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 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 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 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 ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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]* [/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropzone Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 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.

Urban Bassman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 [quote name='mike257' timestamp='1366397418' post='2052153'] 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. [/quote] 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.

Stan_da_man Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
