Need to walk out to just the cadence of the drummers. I'd be scared s***less if I was on the opposite bench and saw a group of grown ass men walk in like they mean business and not like they just walked into a club.

What needs to go is singing the War Hymn after the entrance and the crowd is going nuts.

Quoting to get visible on page 2.

This needs to be our entrance song and it's not even debatable.

The beginning to Sail AWOLNation or The Greatest Show from the Greatest Showman. Not sure how much time they need from a song or if they can loop it.

---

Greatest show could work, all the other suggestions on this thread, not so much.

Give the 12th Man a pre-recorded media spot on the Jumbo tron, then cut to him live and then sound off the Cadence. More Cadence, More Cadence, More Cadence.

"Power" needs to be retired, IMHO, and we should go with something new, if for no other reason than "Power" is a relic of the Sumlin era and we've moved on.

The team needs to enter the stadium carrying a big ass Texas flag. We are the lone representative of the greatest state in the nation in the SEC, that's who we need to be and the image we need to project.

One of y'all geniuses tell me what entrance is going to get this type of crowd reaction and involvement..... those saying Thunderstruck by AC/DC are dead wrong and ******ed olds

T&P for all of the people born after Rock & Roll died.

Also, congrats on insulting older ags by using a word that is about as popular the the N-word.

Honest question:

Does the school have to get permission from the artist to use? I would think so. I also imagine that perhaps there is a contract signed. For instance, if I am an artist and someone wants to use my song I would put something that said if they want to use then they were required to use it for X number of years. Maybe we are contractually obligated to keep it.

Drowning Pool - Let The Bodies Hit The Floor

These guys are very pro-military and would probably love A&M.

I've always thought that the Clemson entrance was a bit risky. Running down a hill like that is a good way to blow out a knee/ankle or something. Seems like the odds would catch up to them at some point...

I've kinda always wanted us to do a white-out and have White Room by Cream play as they came out.

In a white room
with black curtains
IN DA STATION!!!!!!

Need to change your username to OldShadeOfGhey. Would be much more accurate.

Hopefully next Saturday.

The only suggestion on this thread that might get close (if done well) to Power in terms of suitability, cultural relevance, and that is fresh and not outdated by decades is The Greatest Show

This thread would be better off as a historical compendium of 60 years of historical music than real suggestions for an event in 2019.

I find you Metallica enthusiasts amusing.

Y'all probably never even listened to Metallica until the Black Album or well after.

Our parents thought rock & roll died when they heard Hit the Lights.

You're no different than past generations who have a bias towards their own preferred musical taste.

Anything leading up to the game or during the game should be to hype people up. Power does that. Some kind of country music absolutely will not.

Lighten up Francis, go find yourself a Gen-X safe space and crank up the Pantera and Alice In Chains on your discman

I'd be happy with something like that or just ditch it altogether and have drum line cadence only.

I never really understood how rap and hip hop became the most popular music with young white males as the primary buyers, but it did. Kinda hoping there's a shift in the future, because I never could get into it, despite giving it a try at one point. I'm a millenial fwiw, but an older one.

As an old, I think Power is dated. There is new stuff produced all the time and with mixing technology, a cool mashup can be made that would be just as powerful if not more than what is being used now.

I think it would be awesome if the staff could put something together that reaches all of the generations, like a music history with historical video accompaniment for Aggies that would start with something for Old Army and progress through today. Plus as the sound progressed through time they could use the bass capabilities of the system to make you feel the pulse get louder and louder.

I also think the band should start with the bugle call from out of nowhere like a battle call. They should march out and then the video and music should start. Doing it the other way is anticlimactic.

I honestly can't remember the order the way it is now. I just remember it being OK, not really inspiring.

My $0.02.

Are you a future NFL draft pick wearing a Alabama, LSU, Georgia, or pick-your-opponent jersey?

I think they're as likely to see some skinny kids in ROTC outfits escorting some guys that don't look any more like grown ass men than them as anything else.

And I really like the drum cadence. It helps get the crowd ramped up as a precursor to the real entrance. But that's all it should be.

It's a no from me dog. I think these attempts at having a hardcore, badass song for an entrance become generic quite fast. And it's not something the crowd can chant along to like Power. And there's maybe 5 seconds of build up.

Power was not my favorite in the beginning. I found it weird to go from the traditional cadence to the opposite end of the spectrum with Kanye. And I just find Kanye to be a dewsh. But it has grown on me. It's similar to Enter Sandman in that it has a slow build-up, but has the advantage of being something for the crowd to yell. And it's a dynamic intro which builds up to a big moment for the team to run out to. And now I see how coupled with the drum cadence it all values tradition while embracing the future. If you break it down like that it really grows on you.

Non of that dusty rock music please

Not bad ideas.

We should get the DJ to provide a new intro mashup every week.

Power only plays for about 15 seconds before they come out of the tunnel.

I don't *love* power, but it's easy to pick up on for the 12th man, doesn't have any lyrics past "ahh/ayy" and lets the crowd contribute early. Is it dated? Yeah, but it's hard to find something that feels like a hype-song that bridges between the generations.

Ideally I wish it was something with a little more kick... but if we really start winning on a national level I think it could become noteworthy as an entrance.

Hard to beat Va Tech and Sandman, that's the cream of the crop.

"Power" is so dated its the third newest recording mentioned on this thread.

I wonder how many old Aggies who go nuts for that song (yes there are some) would enjoy it if they DID know the lyrics.

If we win all our home games then Power gets another season.
