Fully agree with this. Maybe we could have the opening of Crazy Train leading into something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Any walkout song is better if it's easy to sing along to. I think people fall into the trap of going for something they like listening to, but the reason why songs like Sweet Caroline or YNWA work so well is because they've got a chorus which is really easy to join in with. Crazy Train is a superb tune but it's not a sing along tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually played it at Villa Park on Monday night, probably half an hour before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) FWIW this is what I'd have us walk out to if it were my choice. It's an absolute banger of a tune and that little piano riff is totally something the crowd would chant along with.

Maybe do something with a version akin to this, basically just have the intro riff looped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I honestly don't get why we don't walk out to 'Iron Man'. Don't get me wrong, I love Ozzy's solo stuff, but is it that much more famous than Sabbath's? As amazing as bands like Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest are, they aren't as much of a fit with us and the area as Sabbath. It'd be nice to be able to change it up a bit and try something more modern, but I can't think of another band whose music has as much gravitas for entrance music. (Much like the badge, I'm sure few people really care too deeply beyond fan forums.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 15 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15 I like Crazy Train I'd much rather we have a song that has some significance, and that one does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Crazy Train has been sampled, covered and used in commercials so the cultural relevance is definitely there. We could do a hip hop blend like the song below if we want it to appeal more to a younger crowd. Obviously the offensive words need to be cut out.

Captain_Townsend Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Sun Never Sets on Aston Villa is probably the best Aston Villa song but I never see anybody mention it when this stuff comes up. Think it was a mid 90s effort by a local band? I have it on my playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 15 Moderator Share Posted May 15 Something a bit slower, more anthemic, a classic of some kind - Crazy Train just isn't well known enough, I doubt many of the the under thirties at Villa Park have a clue what it is other than that it's played before Villa games and I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I heard it anywhere else. Maybe something timeless with a bit of emotion and inspiration - this would be great with the right images on the big screens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
