LancsVillan Posted December 13, 2006 Moderator Posted December 13, 2006 as you all know there have been many threads about this over time and the club are looking at it too. Well that very nice Blandy has been through the recent threads to pick out the most popular suggestions. Sabbath get a lot of mentions, but for different songs. So they're in the voting list, but please specify a song by posting the name, metalheads. Hurricane Smith is the old Tony Butler theme that is played occasionally at VP If anyone has links to the tunes then put them in and I'll link it in here too The votes will be counted, and blandy will take the results along to the club Vote away
Tom_L Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I think Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath... but only for night games. Imagine the scenario, we see the teams in the tunnel on the video-screens, the music starts and the floodlights go out, the sound of rain, thunder and church bells... then as the players enter the pitch the floodlights flash and those 3 notes start playing... that would really put the s**ts up the opposing team... Now i understand this may not be possible due to health and safety, etc.... but.... if it was.... :-D

Though 'So What' by the Anti Nowhere League would be good for when we play Chelsea Man Utd redscouse etc

We're a football club, not WWF wrestling or whatever it's called now.

The language in that song makes rantin' sound like Sir (spit) Cliff

It also needs to be an anthem, not something that will be 'funny' to be blurted out of Villa Park. Please remember that you have had you chance to make suggestions on voting. Please use this thread to vote on the shortlist drawn up

We're a football club, not WWF wrestling or whatever it's called now. Ha ha, thats what I was thinking. It would be very cheesy to say the least. Plus I'm not sure you can just turn the floodlights off and on as they sort of warm up. Could be wrong on that point though.
Condimentalist Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Well I voted Sabbath. Song?? Either Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Hole in the Sky.
Joey Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I voted Sabbath. But I don't think it should be a 'mainstream' song like Paranoid or Iron Man, because no-one would associate that with Villa. The introduction to The Wizard could be a good signal for entry a bit like the fanfare is.
Joey Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Also if we do choose a Sabbath song I think we'll be giving the 'interesting' fans of FC St Pauli a run for their money, as they have AC DC's "Hells Bells" before each song.
bickster Posted December 13, 2006 Moderator Posted December 13, 2006 Valkyries Not for me. Has to be said thats the worst version of RotV I've ever heard BUT I kind of agree with you its not that great a tune to run out to Me I'd have gone a slightly different route in a classical way I'd have gone for some Grogorian Chanting right at the start and then let that kick into Mars (Bringer of War) from Holst's Planet Suite But I didnt enter the debate earlier so its my own fault (that and I've only just thought of it) (So thats a combination of Bunnymen & Bauhaus concert openings from the eighties )
ChrisVillan Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Any chance someone could PM me and tell me where to find that Spizz song, please?
Designer1 Posted December 13, 2006 VT Supporter Posted December 13, 2006 Ride of the Valkyries for me. Love that music.
BelgianVillain Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I miss the "We're the Holte End"song option from the CD :winkold: Though, the Spizz song would do for me.
bob Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Any chance someone could PM me and tell me where to find that Spizz song, please? Clip available here: http://www.spizzenergi.com/spizz/ssthesun.html Or email info@spizzcom.co.uk or random.radio@ntlworld.com and he might send it to you. It was on the Come On You Villa compilation CD by AVFC & Supporters.
ChrisVillan Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks Bob, I was hoping you might be along to point me in the right direction.

ChrisVillan Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Big thank you to Rob and Spizz. It has my vote.
