"Bad tunes

Yes, everybody talks up the fans at Arrowhead Stadium -Êthey're loyal, they're loud, yadda, yadda. But it's also the worst stadium in the league for the lethal repetition of high-decibel 80s "music" between every play. No wonder visiting teams hate to play here."

Okay, Mr. or Ms. "I live in Seattle, the center of the U.S. progressive music scene," you better pay closer attention.

While Bob Dole did not pay much attention to most of the music, the most repeated song during the 4th quarter defensive stands was Kid Rock's [i]Bawitdaba[/i], released August 18, 1998.

KC: For those Napster inclined, there are over 100 copies available for downloading. Just search for "Carmina" and "Fortuna" and leave out the rest.

Ahhh...the joys of Napster.

"Riders of Doom" from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack...

Clint in Wichita · 10-04-2000, 03:56 PM

That is the music they played in "Excalibur" right?

shakesthecat · 10-04-2000, 04:00 PM

Yes, and Yes

ROYAL.WILLIE · 10-04-2000, 04:03 PM

KC Jones- that is perfect for the kickoff- I think it would add a touch more nasty to that Arrowhead crowd! It would really pump everyone up for the game.<P>

TheBigChief · 10-04-2000, 04:07 PM

I think they are all referring to the constant blaring of the intro to George Thoroughgood's "Bad to the Bone". It grinds on my nerves too! They do it between every single play... over and over and over. During the Oakland game last year, it played 15 times in a row: 'Bah dah dah bah dahh! Bah dah dah bah dahh!' it NEVER GOES ANY FURTHER! It's just the guitars - a looped riff.

**Bob Dole** · 10-04-2000, 04:24 PM

Dole-- funny song. "Pi25 me off, F#@%n jerk get on my nerves..."

Have you ever heard the 1-95 A#%hole song?

On a different note, Kid Rock has to be the most disqusting person I have ever heard making "music" Any one that would aprove of women being called whores and ******* needs to re-evaluate things. I like most music, and am pretty liberal (I think) but I will not allow Kid Rock into my house...the in band or not!!!

Morphius added Fortuna to my colletion about 2 weeks ago, though he know gets funny looks in people in cubes around him who are used to Godsmack/Anthrax and the like coming from the cube.

egonzo · 10-04-2000, 08:11 PM

Hey Senator, What about the War Chant that started right before the midfield return by DHall? That was AWESOME! I can't believe that MNF didn't mention it. Very foreboding.... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/mad.gif[/img]

Stevieray - I don't think they wanted to mention anything that un-PC. I think my section was completely out of sink with the rest of the stadium.

egonzo · 10-04-2000, 08:21 PM

I think the chop might be pushing it, but that sounded incredible on the tube. What was it like live?

That's the first time in awhile, isn't it?

milkman · 10-04-2000, 08:28 PM

Stevieray - It was great! The first time I have been to a game where they did that. We started after seeing the replay on the big screen and knew it was going to be overturned. You could hear it echo through the stadium, which made it even more weird sounding. It started again right before the punt. People were doing it again as we were alking down the exit ramps. I thought it was very cool.

egonzo · 10-04-2000, 08:34 PM

It sounds like "you're in deep doo doo now"

Man. I hope we get to do that against the Faiduhs... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif[/img]

Clint in Wichita · 10-04-2000, 08:44 PM

I LOVE the chop. Always enjoy the chant at Florida State games, and it was great when we used to do it. Gets me pumped up. Gotta keep it going...

JC777 · 10-04-2000, 08:45 PM

Anyone who thinks Arrowhead has irritating music has never attended an Angels game at Edison Field. I have never been so bombarded by so much multimedia Disney crap trying desperately to inject artificial excitement into a baseball game. And the crowd NEVER sits down. If you're anywhere near an aisle, you have a solid wall of people walking in front of you. Thankfully these Anaheim mouth breathers only stay four innings or so. It's like a theme park with a ball game sort of going on in the background.
