What Song Would You Come Out to if You Were a Closer

[sthief09]

when I was little I always wanted to be a closer. you get paid millions to throw as hard as can and just blow pitches by people (I realize that not all of them do this).

anyway the part that intrigued me the most was that they get to come out to cool intimidating music. rivera comes out to enter sandman, smoltz comes out to the darth vader song, gagne comes out to welcome to the jungle I believe, and the scoreboard flashes GAME OVER. also hoffman comes out to a cool song I think too.

anyway what song would you come out to?

the two that inspired me to make this post are the grudge by tool, the part where maynard yells for like 20 seconds. that makes me want to kill someone. also, no quarter, a zeppelin song, covered by tool on salival is an awesome song. around the 6 minute mark it gets sick and also makes me want to kill someone. prison song and deer dance by system also make me feel homicidal

"Simon Says" by Pharoahe Monch

[Duke]

Darth Vader song == Imperial March?

I figure Centerfield would be ok to use.

Ironman might be a good one.

~D

[[censored]]

probably some nice liberachi and instead of a warm up jacket I would wear a boa.

[sthief09]

yeah ironman would be a good one too

[MoreWineII]

Type O Negative, Summer Breeze

[miajag81]

I hate the Yankees and Rivera passionately, but him coming out to Enter Sandman is the greatest thing ever.

I think I would record a bunch of different freestyle raps dissing guys on the other teams and have them play the appropriate one when I came out...you know, if I were a major league closer.

[Luv2DriveTT]

The Folgers theme song, because coffee is for closers.

brew on that for a while...

Obviously "Big Pimpin'"

[billyjex]

i think i'd have to stick to rammstein "du hast" for this one.

[The Yugoslavian]

Tiger Woods - Dan Bern

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

As gay as intro songs are, I'd have to go with this (http://hamsterdance.com/).

[Los Feliz Slim]

Chalkdust Torture - Phish

[wayabvpar]

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'"- Judas Priest

2nd place would be "Wake Up'- RAtM

[DrunkHamster]

Your taste in music continues to impress me...
Anyway, the best music by far would be the intro to Come to Daddy, by Dillinger Escape Plan.

yeeaeh that's right. hells bells is my ringtone too. I'm a dumbass

[mmbt0ne]

I don't know, but I'm thinking Deftones - Around the Fur.

[Wintermute]

is "closer" some sort of code for "bottom"?

anyway sorry dude I can't relate

actually I was making light of the fact that it took me a while to figure out that "coming out" in the title of the post didn't mean a gay kid telling his parents he was gay, but rather a pitcher entering a game. you can imagine the language you happened to use in the first paragraph of the post further confused the issue for me

the actual thread isn't gay IMO. And my answer is Thunderstruck, ACDC

[DrunkHamster]

Yeah it is, but a LOT heavier. (Anyone who has heard DEP will back me up.)

[smokingrobot]

its heavier? damn. i never listen to the, but it definately is a crazy effin sog. ever see the chris cunningham video? its sweet.

Still, Hoffman has been the best by far when they turned out all the lights in the stadium and all you heard were the bells from ACDC's Hell's Bells.

[Jack of Arcades]

The last time this came up somewhere, my answer was M83 - Unrecorded.

[ClassicBob]

My friends and I had this debate when we were about 14. We decided on the opening of "The Struggle Within" by Metallica.

[irishpint]

for some reason coheed and cambria 'neverender' would enable to strike out the side every time.

[DrunkHamster]

That is an awesome song, off an awesome album. Damn, I'm surprised you guys have such good taste in music. BTW you should really check out the song off their new album, its on their website.

[djoyce003]

Dragula by Rob Zombie would be ok....welcome to planet mutha@#$#er would also be good, as would superbeast.

Also, can't leave out Metallica Enter Sandman, or For Whom the Bell Tolls,

Another good oldie would be Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth or Crush'Em by Megadeth.

at your suggestion im there now.

[DrunkHamster]

If you're a fan of the old stuff and you don't like this song, I'll be completely amazed.

[IndieMatty]

Pantera - Walk.

Obviously all the best entrance music is taken by wrestlers.

[nothumb]

When I used to pitch little league, I was an incorrigible head hunter, so I think coming out to the Misfits "Skulls" might be fitting.

However I think one of the most badass opening riffs you could get is "Gunya Down" by Pro Pain. The opening on that song owns. Check it out: MP3 version (http://s52.yousendit.com/d.php?id=QLPGT8WPOXWK3R7XW11J1Z40K)

Others that might be cool:
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" - Johnny Cash
"Quiet Storm" - Mobb Deep (imagine walking out really slow to this with like a ten pound diamond necklace... you wiggers)
"Angel of Death" - Slayer


And my tongue in cheek, ridiculous answer would be "Kiss" by Prince.

[BWebb]

I always thought "Game Over" by Lil Flip (I believe) would be a good song for a closer.

[NotMitch]

Real American

[M2d]

Roy Orbison-Blue Bayou
Bill Haley and his Comets-See You Later Alligator
Aloha Oe

[Zoelef]

I-Chu - The Decisive Battle (Remix)

For those of you who've watched Sega Fantasy VI, it's the Ultima Famicom's music.

<Edited for correct response; in fairness I'm partial to the MegaDriveTower's music as well, but I lean towards metal over symphonic here>

[poker-penguin]

"Who let the dogs out? WHO? WHO?"

[ChipWrecked]

Whatever John Rocker used.

[Harv72b]

Metallica's version of Last Caress.

Don't know if the ownership would go along with that, tho.

Some others that come readily to mind:
Slayer - South of Heaven
Pantera - F**king Hostile
Fear Factory - Scapegoat
Sevendust - Too Close To Hate
Englebert Humperdink - Lesbian Seagull

Any of those would work.

[Crveballin]

Distrubed - Down with the sickness

The opening would be awesome...

Tough call, off the top of my head:

Rage Against the Machine-Testify (beginning is ROCKIN)
Rage Against the Machine-Killing in the Name of (ditto)
Linkin Park-Nobody's Listening
Linkin Park-Session

Those tracks always get me PUMPED

Edit to answer the question: Deadly Sinners, by 3 Inches of Blood

Dude, this is no contest.... The old school undertaker song, with the bells tolling at the beginning.

Crazy Train (the beginning part)

[/ QUOTE ]
this is the most overused walk-up song in baseball.

[tdarko]

some cool ones i have heard.

voodoo chile- hendrix; opening guitar sequence is sweet right as he is getting ready to come on the field (lets everyone know he is comin') and then the music rocks.

game over- lil flip; this song just made me laugh everytime the guy game in to close the game.

paint it black- rolling stones; song gets you goin'.

kashmir- zeppelin; i always thought this was the best opening riff for a walk-up song.

i would list more but ya'll have some good choices with pantera etc. so no need mentioning them again.

[Jack of Arcades]

Not only is unrecorded an awesome song, it's awesome entrance music, because it starts out rocking. It's really hard to find those songs, especially with what I listen to.

[Popinjay]

Complicated - Avril Lavigne

Baseball pitcher who comes out to finish the game; Mariano Rivera, Eric Gagne, Billy Wagner, etc.

[WDC]

Not quite sure which one but it would have to be the Who.

Won't get folled agian; Baba O'Riely; something like that

[Runner Runner]

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Awesome. Actually, I think the intro to "Be quiet and drive" would almost be better.

That's what Smoltz was using for a while. Someone said it's Darth Vader theme now? No clue what that is.

Smoltz did come out to Thunderstruck, but he's not a closer anymore. I don't ever remember him coming out to the Star Wars music, though.

And Rocker came out to I Wanna Rock, by Twisted Sister.

[samjjones]

As they opened the bullpen gate, I'd have Bill Paxton from Aliens yelling "Game Over, man! Game over!". Then cue up GNR's "You Could Be Mine".

[djoyce003]

anyone know what brad lidge comes out to in Houston? That dude is straight up sick.

Since professional wrestling is all about the entrance themes, any of the intro themes of the following would work for me:

Triple H(Motorhead, I think)
Goldberg(Tribal drum beat, epic sound)
The Undertaker(original theme)
Ric Flair(comes out to Also Sprach Zarathustra)

[CollinEstes]

I would come out to Slash's guitar verson of the Godfather theme.

Dude I played against at Rice came out to that and the whole crowd just stood up and didn't cheer or do anything. It was bad ass.

I think I'd like the theme from Sanford and Son.
