Intro and band

[jasonpeoria911]

This was my 1st Bradley Exhibition game, in years past I had to work and just gave my ticket to a friend. Anyways, does the band usually skip the Exhibition games or did they have something else to do?

Also, if the intro coordinators are reading this board, please please please choose a different song for the intro lineup. The song tonight was just plain boring and lame LOL. Play the usual song or something more dramatic.

I think last year the intro was reserved for the first home game.......but they had the band for the exhibitions.

check out this (yes its Illinois) video Illinois did to announce single game tickets going on sale. I think something like this but longer would be a sweet intro video.

And the White Stripes song you were referring to has the words "I'm going to Wichita" in it so we def. can't play it.

my vote goes to "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor....

I agree with the OP...when "Seven Nation Army" started playing, it felt like the air was let out of the arena. "Zombie Nation" is old and needed to go, but it would be nice, for once, to have a newer song instead of a 10 year old song for the introductions.

Anything from the past 20 years seems fairly new to me.

Don't get me STARTED on 7 Nation Army! I was at the Notre Dame-USC game under the lights this year, and while it was great probably three times, they WAY overplayed it. I'm talking EVERY third down that USC had they blared it out. This was their first experiment with piped in music and while I prefer the band, I think you can use it well. Before kickoff, the atmosphere was something I hadn't seen in any game ever before and they pumped up "Shipping up to Boston" THAT was amazing. I think I only heard it two other times, on the kickoff immediately following George Atkinson III kick return for a TD and on the kickoff when we drove down to the 1 Yard line.

Braveman, I agree, though I would go for "Written in the Stars" personally

I vote for the tones at the beginning of the EAS test.
Because I think if 1470 plays that tone without the end, then many other stations will start simulcasting the Bradley game

Sure missed the band last night....really lame arena without them there!

Just introduce the team Frank Bussone style and play basketball.

I think I would like something along the Under Armor "Protect This house" theme for the intro video. Dont really know if it has been used at all since I dont make it back home for more than one game a year but its just a thought.

But I agree Zombie Nation is overused and old and boring now. I know this is a really old song, but Machinehead by Bush was always one of my favorite songs to get pumped up. Or Heart of a Champion by Nelly. I know these are pretty old but just my 2 cents.

My vote for the music selection for the intro ... ... ...

Here is a live video of the song I believe to be the absolute perfect song:

Gods Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash

I think we need a major music celebrity to record a video of an orignal song for us with the players in it.
