The Benchwarmers tackle our intro music
The Benchwarmers had a topic that might strike home for a lot of people: Should NDSU change the intro song from THUNDERSTRUCK to something else?
And, bonus, what should NDSU should change it to?

Remember when we changed to yellow jerseys?
Re: The Benchwarmers tackle our intro music
I love Thundarstruck, and it obviously plays well with our mascot, but I'm only one opinion and in life we sometimes need to change.
How long is the ideal intro song? There are many great songs with powerful beginnings. Sticking with ACDC, "Are you ready" has an awesome intro but loses steam before the one minute mark. So I presume something with a longer run would be desirable?

Good point on timing. For that reason I would go with For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica. A wide age group would love it and it's older than Thunderstruck. No vocals for 2 minutes. The bell gives me goose bumps and the somg is timeless

That's good. I like the longer intro which I think is needed.
Let's keep the ideas coming!
I love this one for the opening line only...
"We left for Frisco in the Rambler"
Maybe an exit mix repeating the intro and opening line would be appropriate for fill in music at that point in the game where we're just kicking ass!

One of my friends plays the music at our HS football games so I suggested he plays this after the coin flip, and that went over well...

Re: The Benchwarmers tackle our intro music
I find it slightly humorous, that the only acceptable replacements that have been offered so far are also classic rock songs.
There Hass to be something fresher out there. We complain about game day atmosphere and how times have changed in what fans want when they go to a football game and I have to assume not many are crazy guitar licks from 1984.

Re: The Benchwarmers tackle our intro music
I’m all for a change as long as it’s a song that is universally appreciated. I’m not a big fan of country or hip hop but there are a few undeniably great ones out there, though I’m not sure they would lend themselves well to intro music.
I used to think Thunderstruck was one of those universally loved songs, but maybe I’m wrong.

Country or hip hop would be so bad, I would avoid the intro.. No goat roper music

I'm not gonna poop poo on anyone's idea, but I think a better approach is to post up a realistic alternative ?
Most of my influence is classic rock so I'm at a disadvantage coming up with something else.
