Music played

[tiger.wych]

Can anyone tell me what the song is that has the words 'Tigers, tigers' in, which has been played recently just before 'Welcome to the jungle' is played.

Planet Rock were playing it around midnight recently and it's been bugging me since!

I think that is it.

[WhitecapTiger]

Thunderstruck doesn't have the word "Tigers" in it...unless people are singing "Tigers" instead of "Thunder" in the intro etc.

But I think that is the one they have been playing directly before Welcome to the Jungle

[tiger.wych]

Thanks for that
I'll blame the speakers for me not recognising a song I have played in home many times

'Welcome to the jungle' has got to be the worst trashy racket I have ever had the misfortune to pay good money to listen to. Why play it when it adds nothing to the pre match build up unlike M&M bring back some inspiring rousing music like "fanfare for the common man" or "the might of rome" . Rant over I hate it

[tiger.wych]

I think 'Welcome to the jungle' is quite apt really with it's lyrics.....but then I have to confess to being an old school rock music fan

[paul wigston]

Iam not really concerned what they play, but just wish the volume was turned down, especially at half time.

+1 sapajo!

I have e-mailed the club in the past about this dirge. Apparently, it's one of Harry Ellis's favourites, so I blame him!
Managed to get the volume turned down on our nearest speaker in the CAT stand, but this drivel seems to resist all attempts to make it sound bearable.

Totally agree about 'Emerson, Lake & Palmer'

Cheers Maximus, Ellis has left so please Tigers do no continue to play this abysmal rubbish

So we're getting rid of 'Smoke no the Water' too? Excellent. (Johnno long gone too).

It's only been getting played of late (as 'run-out' music as far as I can remember) so not really seeing much of a link to do with Harry Ellis......but if that's what the club said!

I quite like FFTCM by ELP but I do not see it as being 'run out' or build up music personally, Nor Eminem (I'm presuming that's who was meant by M&M - not in a facetious way).

For the sake of a few bars of the track I see no problem with it.

If we were going to use a piece of classical music as build up, I would suggest the opening bars of "Mars - The bringer of War" from the Planets suite by Gustav Holst.

[Maximus66]

I would be glad to listen to anything pre-match, as long as it doesn't make the speakers sound like they're about to explode!

Personally, I would never advocate the removal of SOTW from the airwaves. That is one fine track

Agreed Maximus. Merely using it to highlight a track used as a preference by a departed (but highly revered) player, sorry, Icon so if one should go, by that standard all should go.....

[Isambard]

I would prefer anything by Tom Paxton or Paul Simon.

Sound of Silence literal version would be good.

[Gate]

What you want at halftime is a nice bit of John Cage. 4'33" would be favourite.

Smoke on the water is a must!
If the others must be changed then a Metallica track, surely has to take the empty slot? Enter the sandman perhaps.....
