News of the year ..

[Kori Ellis]

They got rid of "Y'all Ready for This!"

[jaffies]

i guess the answer was 'yes'.

[Summers]

:lol Sweet!

[mookie2001]

welcome back emerson lake and palmer

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

thank God.

[Shelly]

Holy Cow! What did they replace it with?

[T Park]

im just happy so the bozos here will shut up about it.

What did they replace it with?

[Dro210]

lol......

[ShoogarBear]

There goes the repeat. :depressed

[T Park]

odds on if the Spurs lose tonight that Yall ready for this is back next thursday.

[baseline bum]

Does this mean we get something fresh like Final Countdown? :lol

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Does this mean we get something fresh like Final Countdown? :lol

Sweet merciful crap!
Perish the thought!
:vomit:

[Trainwreck2100]

Blasphemy

[T Park]

:lol @ Trainwreck's sig

great stuff

[E20]

Back in Black would be nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

Back in Black would be nice.

Yes, it'd be great

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

You guys are mad now but "Yall Ready for This" was the sole reason for the 4 championships

[T Park]

what about years 93 through 98 and 2000 through 2002? :lol

[pawe]

You guys are mad now but "Yall Ready for This" was the sole reason for the 4 championships

Yeah? Well, I guess the only thing to do is win 4 more for the new intro song.

[T Park]

No one heard the song, and has nothing to report?

[davi78239]

well whatever it may be, it has to better than "yall ready for this?"

[Barbarian]

about fucking time.

[Kori Ellis]

Sorry I don't know the name of the other song. I didn't pay enough attention.

But I did talk to Pop in the postgame interview about Y'all Ready for This. :lol

[leemajors]

:td

[lefty]

now let's get rid of Beno, ESPN and ABC

[Dro210]

now let's get rid of Beno, ESPN and ABC

haha, there's the Beno comment.... still waiting on the Stan Kelly one


I guess the beauty of it all is that only when you're winning championships do you have time to complain about things like the theme song, the last man off the bench, and the PA announcer... lol... gotta love it

[timvp]

Embarrassingly enough, I didn't notice it was gone until Kori told me. I must have that song on my ignore list.

[Kori Ellis]

Where's that damn video of me talking to Pop about it? :lol

He said on a scale of 1-10, how much he was tired of that song was an 11.

[T Park]

Embarrassingly enough, I didn't notice it was gone until Kori told me. I must have that song on my ignore list.

Im the same way.

I never understand what was the big friggen deal about bitching about it.


Im suprised someone that was there tonight doesn't know the new song.

I wouldn't be suprised to see McDonald make a reference to it.

[SAtown]

He said on a scale of 1-10, how much he was tired of that song was an 11.

:lmao

Even Pop's on board with changing the song. I wonder if he had anything to do with it...

[sprrs]

Song always got me pumped....

[Slippy]

as much as i wanted it gone, it sure did get the crowd going.

[EJFischer]

The Spurs coming out onto the floor accompanied by anything loud and vaguely optimistic will get me pumped. But "Y'all Ready For This" has been playing for the Spurs since the mid nineties. It's time for the team to get a little younger.

[angel_luv]

They got rid of "Y'all Ready for This!"


Oh my gosh- you're right. I didn't even notice. I was just so happy to have the team back. :lol

[Walter Craparita]

Who let the dogs out.

[exstatic]

Well, it's only fitting. That song was a serious AJ vehicle when he was with the Spurs, and now that they're retiring his number, they should retire the song as well. Actually, they should have done it when he left in 2001.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Now can we get rid of playing the chorus to "We Are the Champions" in a 10-minute loop when the deciding Spurs victory in the NBA Finals is played in SA. That's a hundred times worse (and more embarrassing).

[my2sons]

i love how people want to make it younger then throw out AC/DC or ASIA...

[Brutalis]

i love how people want to make it younger then throw out AC/DC or ASIA...
Cause they were overrated by your generation bud. Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo crap now.

[Brutalis]

We'll replace it with some cheesy rap song I'm sure. But anything is better as long as it's not old school bullcrap.

[T Park]

How is that embarassing.

We are the champions is fantastic when you win the ring.

Everyone plays it, and everyone sings along with it. Come on, lighten up.

[Steve-O-Matic]

It's embarrassing when its played in an endless loop for 10+ minutes. One time through is fine. 25 times in a row is a beating.

It's also highly unoriginal to begin with.

[exstatic]

Dude, everyone in every sport plays that song when they win. Do you also want to eliminate a trophy ceremony since other sports do that, too, and it's "unoriginal"?

[T Park]

I dunno, I personally like it when We are the champions is played.

That means uh, were raising a golden trophy. Play that SO on an endless loop cause ill be celebrating too damn much to care :)

[Steve-O-Matic]

No, everyone in every sport does NOT play that song. But amongst those who do, NONE of them play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over for 10+ minutes. Like I said, one time through is acceptable.....highly unoriginal and tired, but acceptable. Anything more is nails on a chalkboard.

[inconvertible]

What Did They Replace It With.

[Spurbanana]

What Did They Replace It With.

Some random song with a lady singing "Get your arms up!" or something like that. I wish I could give you more details, but I was in too much shock.
:grim: I'm superstitious...

[Mister Sinister]

Queen, that is a subject you know very well.

:rolleyes Dude STFU. Everyone plays "we're the champions" when they win the championship. And your such a queer for thinking it's "embarrassing". If you don't like it cheer for another team.

[leemajors]

Fuck all that noise. Queen never gets old.
personally, i don't care for queen at all.

[J.T.]

I'd say we should play Back in Black as our intro song but we wear white for home games.

[Mister Sinister]

personally, i don't care for queen at all.
In the words of Randal Graves: Blasphemy.

[slayermin]

They should just commision an intro from Tiesto.

[Solid D]

Don Harris played the video of the Pop interview on Sports Sunday (delayed because of the football game). It was the only real Spurs subject matter. You could hear Kori's voice in the background and then Pop responded to her.

[SRJ]

This is the best offseason move the Spurs have made since drafting Tony Parker.

[Reggie Miller]

When the Cavs took their only second half lead of the entire series in Game 4, the Cleveland PA played 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This (Y'All Ready for This)." The Spurs went on a run and swept the series. I hate the song, but don't mess with karma.

[spurschick]

What did they replace it with?

"Y'all shut the fuck up."

[Obstructed_View]

"Y'all shut the fuck up."
:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Slomo]

"Y'all shut the fuck up."The lyrics sound nice, but can you dance to it?

[Thompson]

Actually, AT&T bought the intro song rights as well; they'll walk in to the commercials.

[mikejones99]

dam Malik slammed in dm's face. will he ever get any minutes again?

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Now all we need to get rid of is Stan Kelly and we're set. Who's that other guy thats the "hype" man? I'd like to see him do the intros. He's not much of a hype man though. But he has a good voice.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Finally

[LilMissSPURfect]

"Y'all shut the fuck up."


daaaaaaaaang gurl yo FUNNY!!!!

now if this quote isn't quote worthy...i don't know what it!!!! :lol :lol :lol :toast

[BacktoBasics]

Best offseason move this year.

[Obstructed_View]

I liked the Darth Vader theme the Cavs used in the Finals. That would be cool to use.

[AOMrep]

True that. I thought that ''Evil Empire'' intro suited us just nicely. It's like Tony Parker said , we're so used to being the good guys it's nice to be the bad boys from time to time(not an exact quote). Because this IS the year we repeat, no question. So that Evil Empire song will do just fine. I'd bet money that the Spurs would get so much more press if the marketing dept. went with some sort of evil theme this year.

We already have OBI-WAN-GINOBILI.
Maybe we could name the other guys with Star Wars themed names.

My vote is Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted Snake." I think that would get everyone going.

[Slomo]

Personally I'm an oldies fan :tongue:

How lucky can one guy be;
We've got Timmy, Manu and TP
Like the fella once said,
Ain't that a kick in the head?
The room was completely black
When the banner went up the rafts.
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinning;
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
If this is just the beginning,
My life's gonna be beautiful.
I've sun- shine enough to spread;
It's like the fella said,
"Tell me quick
Ain't this team a kick in the head?"

Pop's telling me we'll repeat;
He's picked out next years ring.
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick;
Tell me quick, oh ain't this game sick?
Tell me quick, aren't Spurs a kick in the head?

[ShoogarBear]

We're going to have to change your name to Slomold.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

How can any song about a kick to the head be redone for the Spurs without mentioning Bruce Bowen? It's a good effort Slomo, but with that oversight the best I can give you is a B+.

[ShoogarBear]

[Phenomanul]

The could play on the the dinosaur theme and use the "Fanfare Theme" from Jurassic Park...

or

The "Training Montage", or "Final Countdown" from Rocky

or

"Duel of the Fates", or "Imperial March" from Star Wars

or

Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400"

[Slomo]

oops forgot "Eye of the Tiger".....

[mookie2001]

i would say since you cant really have a metal song or a song with important lyrics or curse words


i would go with

dj shadow- building steam with a grain of salt

dr octogon- earth people

bill monroe- whitehouse blues

roky erickson- night of the vampire

epmd- get the bozak

depeche mode- fly on the windscreen

quasmimoto - good morning sunshine

the spurs would be badd news

[mookie2001]

or if they want a throw back they could have keith emerson just going awol on a moog

that would be sick too

[T Park]

Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400"

they used to play that before yall ready for this in 03 I think.

Man the crowd clapping with the beat and goin nuts really made a great atmosphere.

Then, "yall ready for this"

lol

I still don't see the name of the song played Saturday night. Im SHOCKED it hasnt been posted.

[Kori Ellis]

You seem obsessed with this. :lol

I don't know if anyone was listening to the song that much - moreso just surprised it wasn't Y'All Ready for This. And I don't think it was a popular enough song that everyone would know the name.

[PM5K]

I'll start to like Stan Kelly when he finishes going through puberty...

[Que Gee]

News of the year could be coming soon. Supposedly Kobe's locker is "cleaned" out. He hasn't played the last few days due to a "sore" knee.

I have heard the Mavs are in the mix, as well as NY.

J Terry, Josh Howard and a #1...?

[Que Gee]

No link, I've just heard it through some contacts. Not sure about the teams involved, thats a little shady. But I've heard that the "clearing" of his locker is legit.

[Barbarian]

Kobe in a Mavs uni. I didnt think it would possible to hate the mavs even more.
(I think this deserves its own thread)

[Mojazz]

Im shocked it hasnt been posted and 3 articles written about it.

[GoGatos]

Spoke to come contacts within the Spurs "circle of trust" and they told me that they are indeed tinkering with a change and "Ya'll Ready For This" will be no more. They used "The Game" by Motorhead on Sat. night, which is also the intro music for Triple H. But I have been told nothing is set in stone and they are still trying different songs, etc.

Personally, I'm a fan of "Crystal Planet" by Joe Satriani to become the new intro song. You can listen to it on MySpace...

http://www.myspace.com/joesatriani

Also, I have heard that the team intro video played on the jumbotron before the starting lineups will be to the theme from Last of the Mohicans, which is being used in the Nike Football commercials taht feature Stephen Jackson and Shawne Merriman.

[spurschick]

Normally, the music and intros for preseason are only for preseason and they bring out the permanent stuff once the regular season starts. However, there have been a few behind-the-scenes changes over the summer, so who knows...

[ShoogarBear]

So all this is the musical equivalent of getting excited by the preseason play of Kris Lang.

That sounds like a fucking cool intro song. I guess im bias to it since its one of my favorite movies. Reminds me of the end of the movie when Hawkeye and dad(name to hard to spell)are chasing down Magua and co. Im getting pumped up just thinking of it. :clap

[Obstructed_View]

Chingachgook. :)

[Barbarian]

Yeah...Thats it. If I tried I probably would have left the second g out.

[Spurbanana]

Wow! I had wondered what that song in that commercial was from...it'd be awesome for starting lineups! Almost makes up for them getting rid of the Spurs CLASSIC song...sorry, I'm the only one who still likes it. :(

[Reggie Miller]

They used "The Game" by Motorhead on Sat. night, which is also the intro music for Triple H. But I have been told nothing is set in stone and they are still trying different songs, etc.

If you're going to go there, why not just use Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"?

You could start the prelims with the "Imperial March" from Star Wars, then when the first player hits the floor, cut to the opening riff of "Ace of Spades."

Tell me that wouldn't be intense...

If they get rid of "Get Ready for This (Y'All Ready for This)," I hope they play up the "bad guys" image. This would be fun for a change, anyway.

It would be the first time I ever heard Spurs fans chant "bullshit".

[GoGatos]

Have received final word from people in the know that the new intro song won't be anything anyone's ever heard before. It's going to be a custom-made song. Kinda like when radio and TV stations get companies to create music for their "branding." ESPN themes, NBA on NBC themes, etc., those are all created by companies for those networks. The new Spurs starting lineup (from what I understand) will be created by a composer who does stuff like that.
