Sabres Intro Song

[Insomniac]

I'm sorry, but I'm all for tradition. The Sabre Dance does get me pumped up. I like the idea of making it edgier though to appeal to more people and make it less...circus like. This version isn't bad, though could be a bti harder.

Many good choices. Exposing my 80's background, I do like Crue's "Kickstart" but think the lyrics to Pat Benatar's "All Fired Up" work and can be cranked. But, as mentioned, Van Halen and specifically "On Fire" can just be absolutely blasted and crank up ANYone and would be my choice.

Anyone go downtown yesterday to shoot the opening day vid? Rather unimpressive if u ask me.

[EdwardSauve]

Does anyone else like the intro to "Your Betrayal" by Bullet for My Valentine?

Good tune but this one seems more fitting if you like them.

just love it

[Marvelo]

I'd like to see the Sabres take a completely different approach to music than the rest of the league and sports in general.

 

You want to instill a proper sense of fear, dread and intimidation in the hated opponent, right?

 

I think strains of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky ("Battle on the Ice") is the right thing to pipe in throughout a Sabres game, instead of the lame pop stuff they've been doing for centuries. It's self-explanatory.

That would be awesome.

[TrueBlueGED]

Personally when I'm at a game I want some rock music to really get the blood flowing, but maybe it's a generational thing. My first choice would have been Unstoppable by Pop Evil, but browsing the videos on youtube it appears the Red Wings either use it or it's an unofficial Detroit anthem. So I settled on A Warrior's Call by Volbeat:

 

 

I'd even pay them to adapt it a little to the Sabres.

[korab rules]

With the proliferation of blond haired blued eyed folks on the roster, I'm thinking some Rammstein is in order.

 

Van, Ehrhoff, Sulzer, Hecht, Ennis, Myers, Ellis, even Foligno's hair is pretty light. Roy's is too, but I am sure that is chemically enhanced. Also, when did they start taking head shots with the use of funhouse mirrors?

 

Ruff and Regier forming a team in their own image?

it's not a generational thing, it's a music thing. I think Classical has alot of cool possibilites. Sabre Dance is classical, dontcha think? Night on Bald Mountain, Wagner, the list goes on. It sends a chill up the spine.

I enjoyed that very much, thank you.

 

For the record, I really haven't minded our intros the last few years.

 

What I'm really happy about right now is the goal song. "Lonely Boy" could not be more perfect, musically or lyrically.

the guy playing the tambourine completely reminds me of the "cowbell" skit from SNL.

 

"I've got a *feevuh*. And the only cure for it ... is more tambourine."

[I am Defecting]

Absolutely Prokofiev's "Battle on the Ice"

 

Nevsky is a film by Eisenstein, and the soundtrack was by Prokofiev. It's Classic cinema, like Citizen Kane. This was Stalin's heyday, though, so imagine him over the shoulder of both the director and composer... and they came up with amazingly subversive things. Both were too popular to kill, at the time.

[I am Defecting]

Shiznit. As long as Prokofiev is on the table. Montague v. Capulet.

Battle on the Ice is better, though. Shoutout to the greatest living conductor Valery Gergiev.

Ugh. I WISH. This would be the best freakin' intro song in the league.

OR this one, which might even be better:

Thank you all so much for turning me onto this. I never knew it existed. Always liked Battleship Potemkin.

 

Here's a youtube channel with all sorts of full length movies.

[korab rules]

There is only one film involving a battle on ice that can be referred to as one of the greatest films of all time.

And the theme music would make damn fine entrance or PP music.

I would totally mark out if the Conan theme was our entrance music. ######.

Don't know if the lyrics are appropriate, but the oooooooweeeee is nice :P

I would like the team to hit the ice to Hair of the Dog by Nazereth, and live up to it!

 

 

 

 

Then the front office could be ushered in by Jive Talkin by the BeeGees!

Hey they may not be so inappropriate after all...

 

Yo ye pharoahs, let us walk

Through this barren desert, in search of truth

And some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers.

 

Who's in charge here?

where's my Captain's wafers?

Don't go around hungry now....

 

 

Camel Walk was a minor hit for them, but for this Sabres team a far more appropriate SCOTS intro song would be "Ditch Diggin' " IMO.

[CallawaySabres]

 

Start with guitar upon entering ice and fohgit about it.......

[Carmel Corn]

Sabre Dance??? Please NOOOOOO!

 

It's old, outdated, uninspiring and creates about as much excitement as watching the Bill's offense. Those wanting Sabre Dance are too attached to the name vs. how dull & boring the song actually is.
