whats your song?

Whats the one song that gets you pumped right before a torney or competition? My song used to be Lincoln Park's Points of Authority but then Mettalica's St. anger came out and thats the best Pump me up song.

[wrestlingkaratechamp]

I only listen to heavy metal before a wrestling or Karate competition. It gets me adrenalined up!

i didn't vote, because nothing i listen to fits into those categories. i listen to incubus (acid rock, though i guess you could call them alternative, or even pop, recently), rammstein (industrial), dropkick murphys (pump) and radiohead (alternative) mostly. if i had to choose one, i'd say heavy metal, but i wouldn't feel right choosing it, so i didn't

[Martial_Artist]

A love ballad or instrumental overture.

What about Rock? (Or did you include that in Pop)

I don't really have just one song, and it depends on the situation, really...like, for my BB test, most people would need to be "pumped up" for that. Well, I wasn't honestly looking forward to the test, so the night before my sparring portion, it was a clear summer night...I grabbed my discman and listened to Coldplay's "Parachutes", just staring up at the stars. It was a relaxing and thought-provoking night, and I felt better prepared, mentally. Unfortunately my parents didn't hear me say "I'm going out to the backyard for a bit", and thought I was lost for an hour

 

I was also listening to Jimmy Eat World's "In the Middle" a lot. In fact it was my personal theme for my test!

 

However, there are times when I need to get truly pumped up. For those times, I listen to the Donnas, Linkin Park, Metallica (especially Hero of the Day, Fuel and Enter Sandman), Incubus and others.

 

If I had to pick one pump-up song, it would probably be Metallica's Hero of the Day.

 

Good stuff

hey, monkeygirl, i did the exact same thing for my blackbelt test, except instead of coldplay i did radiohead and instead of my back yard i was in the front yard on the hood of my sister's car. my parents got really mad because i got a phone call when i was outside and they didn't know where i was, and they looked all over the house and couldn't find me ah, memories...

[IAMA_chick]

the cd that i listen too before i spar is either DMX " then there is X" or ludacris "word of mouf"--both of those cd's really get me in the mood to kick someone in the head.

[mouko_yamamoto]

ludacris - move b**ch

 

DMX - shut em down, open up shop

 

guns 'n roses - live and let die

 

drowning pool - sinner

 

stuff like that

I really don't have a fav. But it's mostly metal. I don't know where to put Linkin Park, Limp Bizket, or Disturbed, but they are my favs lately. Or Metallica (old school stuff) or a good Zepplin or Hendrix song to pump me up.
