Your personal Battle Theme Song


Recommended Posts

It might be kinda corny but one song that NEVER fails to get me energised is Survival by Muse.

I know it was the 2012 Olympic song and I know it's kinda cheesy and bombastic and silly but man I love it and it never fails to give me goosebumps!

 

Also there is a reading of All the Way by Chuck Bukowski on youtube that has been put to music and it's pretty magical. I urge you to give it a listen. It's right up there on my bout mix.

Most anything hatebreed but their first two albums, are just insane. Vision of disorder, bury your dead (when Matt was with them) all get me going.

At the moment I have two from, The Return of the Living Dead, I might be biased, but damn that movie has some amazing music. 

 

1. The Trioxin theme, it's just so catchy and I want to start running when I hear it.

2. The Do You Want to Party song, it always get me hyped up no matter what I'm doing.

I love lots of aggressive songs to get me pumped - loud, growly, smashing, thrashing warrior songs are often my soundtrack. But the theme for my overall main quest is this one, the one I go to to remind me what I'm fighting for - hope, and the chance to reach all the potential I once thought was out of reach.

Man does this thread make me feel old. Someone 'way back several pages ago said something about Metallica reminding them of their dad. Goodness.

 

I don't often bother with my iPod at the gym because I can't be arsed to find my wee Shuffle and my Classic is too heavy/I don't have any sort of armband. When I do listen to music it's on the treadmill and then I have to select from the recordings I have that are loud enough to drown out that gawd-awful club dance music they blast. 

 

I'd say if it's ferocity I'm after, then anything Bolt Thower. But there are times I'm just after the upbeat shit and I'm not ashamed to admit I'll listen to this Michael Jackson greatest hits album I have.

Never compromise.

Thanks for mentioning TSFH. I'd never heard of them but they're great!

 

I listen to quite a bit of different music when lifting and running (SoundGarden is awesome and gets you pumped, Tchaikovsky gives you that focus).

 

If I really want to dig deep, I know I can always push myself with any part of the Halo soundtrack. Those songs take me back to my giant original Xbox, butt-stroking elites with my brother on split-screen, and just generally make me feel like such a badass. They are driving, triumphant, and aggressive. I guess there's no safer place to express these nerdy thoughts than here, but listening to the music sometimes puts me in the mood of the tireless, selfless determination and sacrifice of Master Chief sometimes gets me through some hard reps.

 

A mellow but especially intense Halo song (and personal favorite) to share:

I am about to admit something and I know that at least one person will laugh. That's ok. The song that really gets me going when I'm working out is the song "You're the Best Around" by Joe Esposito. (Yes the song from the Karate Kid movie). For some reason whenever I hear that song I move faster and I push harder, I'm not sure why but it has become a staple for me to listen to or sing when I'm working out and have reached that point where I want to quit but need to finish.

I'm not laughing, that song is epic! :D I can definitely see how that can help you get past the last push.

My battle songs... it has to be AC/DC's Back in Black and Highway to Hell.  Nothing else, those are the songs I've always come back to, my flavor of the week songs come and go, but those two songs always do it for me.
