We need to change the Spurs intro song.

[LakerHater0823]

NO MORE "Y'all ready for this"! :pctoss

[themvp]

Now wait a minute! I like this song very much! So please DO NOT CHANGE it! :depressed

Its your problem if it goes to your nerves.

[LakerHater0823]

Come on man its like 15 years old and doesn't go with any of the other intro stuff. We need something that takes us away from the hemisfair arena days. Im not talking about puttin some booty music or heavy metal but something that isnt older than some of the teenagers at the game.

[samikeyp]

We need something that takes us away from the hemisfair arena days.

Nothing wrong with the Hemisfair Arena days. Besides, isn't it about the basketball?

[Lebowski Brickowski]

That song is embarrassing. We might as well all do the chicken dance.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

For legal purposes the Spurs organization must ask if it's fans are ready for this before beginning a ball game. If they started and someone was in fact not ready for this the results could be devastating and leave them open to considerable liability litigation.

[LakerHater0823]

Nothin wrong with Hemisfair days but its in the past. Lets get some new music to pump up the crowd make this unique to the ATT center you know.

:lol

[LakerHater0823]

How can we contact someone to change the song or to consider changing the song.

[midgetonadonkey]

They should play some mariachi music or some tejano. That will pay homage to the culture of san antonio while getting all the drunk mexicans to throw gritos.

[T-Pain]

i liked the intro songs by destinys child when they played it at the allstar game in denver and outkast in LA

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Suggestions better that "Y'all Ready For This..."

1. Michael Bolton
2. John Tesh
3. Kenny G.
4. Celine Dion (sp?)
5. David Hasselhoff

[LakerHater0823]

:lmao :drunk

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Nothing would be more apt than a tune from "Tenacious D".

[LakerHater0823]

How about.....hmmmmmmm........ CLAY AIKEN!!!! yes!!!

[LakerHater0823]

Nothing would be more apt than a tune from "Tenacious D".


Ten. D is awesome bro!

[T-Pain]

how about the intrumentals to Jay-Z's 99 Problems or Dirt off your shoulder

[leemajors]

tenacious d sucks, technotronic rules.

[LakerHater0823]

What about Macarena! haha

[T-Pain]

Come on man its like 15 years old and doesn't go with any of the other intro stuff. We need something that takes us away from the hemisfair arena days. Im not talking about puttin some booty music or heavy metal but something that isnt older than some of the teenagers at the game.

LOL! why not some booty music??

[zero signal]

Dittohead by Slayer.

[LakerHater0823]

What! Tenacious D could write a song specifically for the Spurs!

[TDMVPDPOY]

We need a song thats catchy, that strikes fear in the opponents when they lay their feet on the court, no wwe entrance songs plz like the pistons. How about the intro bowen did or barry or tps french raap.

[LakerHater0823]

LOL! why not some booty music??


Aw man it still needs to be family oriented.

[T-Pain]

Aw man it still needs to be family oriented.

yeah i was j/k. but those jay-z instrumentals would be tight

[lilmads]

How about a TP rap song?:)

[TDMVPDPOY]

This song i recommend shannon noll - lift, talks about triumphin over struggles, seems like this season the players have been playin with naggin injuries and they seem to either get through with the win.


SPAM SPURS COME MARCHIN IN CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL

[MoSpur]

They should play some mariachi music or some tejano. That will pay homage to the culture of san antonio while getting all the drunk mexicans to throw gritos.

I love this idea. It will never happen, but it would be great.

[MoSpur]

I would go for the instrumental to "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed.

[cheguevara]

the mariachis would be great. and all spurs players should come out with mexican hats and ponchos

[MoSpur]

How about some Tigeres del Norte?

[LakerHater0823]

I havent heard the Jay-Z instrumentals but I will see if I can find them when I get home.

[themvp]

How about:

1.Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
2.Rob Thomas - This is How a Heart Breaks

:)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

They should play some mariachi music or some tejano. That will pay homage to the culture of san antonio while getting all the drunk mexicans to throw gritos.

Try throwing a grito in a facility with only 3/400 fans in attendance during a women's basketball game.

It's pretty funny to see the looks into the student section - which included all of five people.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

2.Rob Thomas - This is How a Heart Breaks

:)

You may be Jason Voorhees, but if you make that happen, I'll fucking kill you. :lol

[samikeyp]

Technically, "y'all ready for this" from the Alamodome days, not the Hemisfair.

My question remains...isn't it supposed to be all about the basketball?

[LakerHater0823]

Ok sorry its from the Alamodome, but I think thats long enough either way. Yes its about basketball but does that mean we CAN'T change the song?

[Jimcs50]

I do not get to enough games to worry about it.
I like the Spurs intro.

[Mixability]

My question remains...isn't it supposed to be all about the basketball?

yeah, but you have to admit the song is kinda embarassing. Update it already. Some "arena" songs are timeless (We Will Rock You), but Ya'll Ready just screams "hammer pants and Spurs fiesta color logo". :lol

[samikeyp]

If the fans like it, why change it? Then again, if it is about the basketball....does it really matter what the song is?

[samikeyp]

yeah, but you have to admit the song is kinda embarassing

embarassing to who? the fans? the team? Personally I could care less what it is and I am pretty sure the players don't care...they are probably focusing on the game. At least I hope so.

[ObiwanGinobili]

i'm a fan.
i hate that fucking song.
it is kinda embarrassing.
are we under some weird obligation to keep that dinosaur forever???
cuit it loose & try something new.
I love the Nightdreams instrumental they do before the ya'll ready for this crap.


that diosturbed instr. someone suggested is a great idea! :tu I'd also be copol with a jay-z instr.... but
i'd really like something "kickass".
not tired & lame like what we got now.

[samikeyp]

I don't see how the song is embarassing but I respect that if someone does. To me its just a song....I get pumped up just being at a game because I rarely get to go. :depressed

:lol

personally I would like to see DMX but I doubt that is going to happen. :p

[Mixability]

I get pumped up just being at a game because I rarely get to go. :depressed

there's you're answer:

the song gets old even after just a few games.

[samikeyp]

nahh....I just don't care.


I still say some DMX would kick ass though. :)

[leemajors]

by definition, wouldn't any song repeated before any game "get old" to most people?

[sa_butta]

I have to admit I dont like it. It was OK in the 90's but seriously its been going on too long. Weve changed logos and arenas, why not a new intro.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

[QUOTE=I love the Nightdreams instrumental they do before the ya'll ready for this crap.......[/QUOTE]

What is that song and who wrote it/plays it???? I can't find it anywhere. A google search of "Nightdreams" pulls up sex store adverts... :oops

[sa_butta]

nahh....I just don't care.


I still say some DMX would kick ass though. :)
I think "We right Here" would be tight.

[samikeyp]

I think "We right Here" would be tight.

Nice.

I was going for "Party Up" but that would work too.

I always thought it was funny when in the playoffs when the Spurs were on the road the home team would play the Imperial March (Darth Vader theme) when the Spurs were announced like it was supposed to be all evil and shit. Personally I think its cool. :)

[Mixability]

thats a good idea! change it up regularly! :tu

i think theyll go good

[Darrin]

I'm a traditionalist. I like hearing the rhythmic beats of "Eye of the Tiger," the trumpets of "Final Countdown" (ESPECIALLY THIS ONE), and signing "Shout" as the jumbotron shows the scene from Animal House.

However, I don't like "Y'All ready for this" because it seems like such an obvious (and overused) choice. Who's next - Ace of Base, Aqua, or Chumbawamba?

Yeahhhhh! Something to instill fear. Something like this:

We've got fans outside to kill you
If you beat our Spurs tonight
They'll knife you and they'll drill you
If you don't treat us right

You probably think you're bad
And wanna screw our dance team
But Brothers you've been had
Just take a look and scream.

Around the league you say we're soft
Don't bring that shit in here
Cause the guys your're pissing off
Are outside chugging beer.

:drunk :drunk :drunk

Yeah, instill some fear.

[T-Pain]

:lmao

you have WAY too much time on your hands

[Darrin]

No, not really. I still get chills when I hear the trumpets blare the intro to Europe's "Final Countdown." The first time I heard it in the lineup, the players included:

Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Dennis Rodman
Bill Laimbeer
James Edwards.

Although it's a song about a spaceship leaving earth, the lyrics are horrific, and it's one of those "awesomely bad" videos by VH1, the trumpets, the :30 seconds the Pistons play is enough to get me fired up.

[leemajors]

it's not europe's only hit either. they also had cherokee and sara!

[ChumpDumper]

"We're headed for venus!" :lol

"Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes would be pretty shocking and badass.

I always thought teams miss an opportunity when they introduce the opposing team. Instead of nothing or something sinister like "The Emporer's March" they could put on something fruity like "The Elephant Waltz" or maybe Beck's "Loser" before they come out.

[Spurminator]

"Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes

:tu

They might need to update or remix though...

[Old School Chic]

The Intro song will remain for years to come....

It's in honor of our first Championship












:lmao

those are straight synthesizers, no trumpets in final countdown. europe blew, but not into brass...

[UtownSpur]

Even though I am not a big KORN fan...the song that starts off... ARE YOU READY...that would be a very rockin intro in my opinion

[sa_butta]

I would suggest

I think the first song would work

[slayermin]

The last power groove in the song "Domination" by Pantera.

[Darrin]

those are straight synthesizers, no trumpets in final countdown. europe blew, but not into brass...

The Pistons re-recorded the song because it sounded too eighties. I believe the house band did it.

[SequSpur]

[T Park]

Nah, they busted it out in 92 93.


Back when they kept the lights on for intros.

Yawwwnnnnnn

[Kori Ellis]

Y'all Ready For This = 3 Titles

You guys want to risk changing it?

:lmao

[NASpurs]

Anyone else mute their TV when the "y'all ready for this?" song comes on especially if it's a nationally broadcast game? :lol How lame did I feel when the Spurs were about to get their championship rings or whatever and Y'all ready for this comes on.

Another thing... we should stop using that stupid Tina Turner song "Simply the best"... that's embarassing as well

[ChumpDumper]

It also = about 13 non-title season ends.

I just show up late to games now if I go.

[Kori Ellis]

It also = about 13 non-title season ends.



Pretty good percentage compared to the years without it :smokin

[SpursWillOwn]

we need something different.. and something special... the most unique and special talent in the music field has to be WILLIAM HUNG!

[Kori Ellis]

I am not saying I like the song. It sucks. But every NBA arena I've been to (about 15 of them) plays sucky music.

The only time I really hated Y'all Ready For This is when they were having problems with the lights at a game last season and played it on repeat for 10 minutes while they fixed it. :shootme

[ChumpDumper]

If we can win a title without David Robinson, we can win a title without 2 Unlimited.

[polandprzem]

If we can win a title without David Robinson, we can win a title without 2 Unlimited.

Good point :smokin

[slayermin]

Big Boi and the Purple Ribbon All-Stars - Im on it

[leemajors]

how about "move this" by technotronic, or "strike it up" by black box?

[LakerHater0823]

Big Boi and the Purple Ribbon All-Stars - Im on it


Thats a cool song and would sound good but I dont know if it would work for an intro


I be on that kryptonite...straight up on that kryptonite.

[Tigole Bitties]

Coach Popovich looks really uncomfortable and goofy as hell during the player introductions with "2 Unlimited" blasting in the background.

Then again, just about any geezer coach would look awkard in that scenario.

[Tigole Bitties]

Oh, and my music vote goes for "Apotheosis - O'Fortuna" techno opera.

[dmac]

...Then again, just about any geezer coach would look awkard in that scenario.
who you calling a geezer?

tenacious d sucks, technotronic rules.
yeah music made with buttons. how cool ..

[leemajors]

yeah music made with buttons. how cool ..

all music is made with buttons now, genius. ever seen a production studio? i guess a casio synthesizer and an 808 aren't instruments because they have buttons? you're a moron.

[Tek_XX]

What do other arenas play?

[2centsworth]

Old school Metallica, Four Horsemen or something.

[LakerHater0823]

How about AC/DC back in black? Since the trophy is back with the silver and black

[Erikita]

I love that song!! It gets me PUMPED everytime!

[Dingle Barry]

it and "Go Spurs Go" need to hit the fucking trash can.

[UtownSpur]

How about San Antonio's own Union Underground with SOUTH TEXAS DEATHRIDE!!! That would be very cool.
