best song to work out with


(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)



Posted by: killer4life

what type of music do u guys think is the best


Posted by: Dante B.

Death/black metal
Hard rock
Classic rock
80's stuff

Depends on my mood.

Lately, I've been spinning Burzum on my way to the gym. "Det Som Engang Var" gets me going unlike anything else.


Posted by: Mudge

Death/black for me, just got back from Deicide on Saturday! Sometimes I put thrash in the MP3 player.

Whatever works for you, works.

Burzum killed Mayhem!


Posted by: Dante B.

Deicide is awesome.

Once Upon the Cross and Serpents of the Light are spectacular slabs of uholy aggression.

mudvayne and system of a down get me going


Posted by: ponyboy

Rage against the Machine's first album was great to workout to.

Also, any old Metallica stuff...Ride the Lightning, And Justice for All, Master of Puppets...great stuff!


Posted by: derekisdman

I agree with Ponyboy. 80's metallica totally rocks. Battery is the best song to listen to (though the whole master of puppets album is good lifting music). I like to listen to Black Sabbath and Ozzy too.

How about a laugh.

Jamming with Richard Simmons.


Posted by: Dante B.

Babsie,

Have you ever listened to the soundtrack from Flashdance when working out?


Posted by: Jodi

Personally, I like Boy George and the Culture Club. I tumble for ya really gets me pumped.

No, is it good?

I usually listen to techno when doing cardio. It chimes right in with the ephedra.

I don't think I heard that one. I'm gonna have to look that one up.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

haha... I like 50 cent lately. it gives me that feeling like, nothing can fu$% with me... not the weights, not the wanna be weight lifter dudes, not even the bitchy gym attendant that wants to see my f'n ID eventhough she sees me 3 times a week and has for months...


Posted by: Rob_NC

Do Power lifter's have a different tast in music? It seems so, at least at my gym. All I ever hear is top 40 pop. Sometimes the owner will change the station to a modern/classic rock station but not often. I like classic rock with a mix of modern rock. Especially like Nugent's "Stanglehold". Always good for a few more reps/set and it's 8 minutes long!


Posted by: Flex

Old Metallica (black album and before) and the Cowboys from Hell (Pantera) are the ONLY shit worthy enough of my ears. (w/ a little slipknot mixed in)

Pantera is the only true hardcore heavy metal.


Posted by: Jodi

OK seriously now:

Metallica (mostly 80's)
Staind
Saliva
SOAD
Lacuna Coil
Korn
Static X
SlipKnot


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

I like Jodi's mix... at least better than her culture club recommendation

'Tis a shame, though, that there aren't many people into (true) death/black metal. Therion is especially good, if you're into metal and classical music.

The Kovenant is also great, at least with Animatronic. SETI blows.


Posted by: Jodi

Thanks however, I saw Pantera in concert in the early 90's and I was not in slightest bit impressed.

Since then, I just don't bother listening. If its on, its on but I don't make a point to purchase or listen to anything of Pantera's

I have alot more I listen to but those are my favorites for lifting and cardio.

Dante I don't remember what it was we listened to of yours in the car on the way up to Vegas but I remember I liked it.

I'll have to check out Therion. I only listen to techno during Cardio. Is Therion any good? I like Classical however if I listen to it during a cardio session, it more so relaxes me.

Now, I could tolerate metal and classical in the sauna

heavy metal gets me going during weight training.

True, the shows are fairly small these days, and I go to the San Fran shows so there are certainly enough weirdos around, and they are almost all a few years younger than myself so it seems people have lost interest.

Pantera was awesome, they split up in May 2003, Phil is doing Superjoint Ritual and Dimebag/Vinny are doing something of thier own.

what kind of music dose therion play?

slayer slams during heavy lifts

No, they suck. But out of the sheer comtempt for my existence, I force myself to listen to them.

Taste is subjective, and my palate says that they are splendid. It's not classical, alone, but rather classical music (orchestra and choir) seamlessly blended with metal.

And no, not like the pathetically half-assed attempt by Meticalla (with S&M). That was absolutely ridiculous and disgusting. Embellishment should never be mistaken for synthesis.

If you like techno, and metal, you'd probably enjoy The Kovenant (Animatronic, only, though).

Especially old-school Slayer.

Reign In Blood is still great, even today.


Posted by: Mudge

Slayer, Hypocrisy, Sinister, Broken Hope (split), Malevolent Creation, the list goes on... usually I go through phases, sometimes I like to listen to Yngwie, but at the gym its usually something abnormally hard not neccessarily epic.

Freeman on this board also listens to this garbage.


Posted by: Testosterone

Anybody like PRODIGY-The Fat of Land ??
I love it while doing my Leg Workout!!

I listened to Yngwie Malmstein many years ago.


Posted by: Mudge

I like classical music also, so I can definitely appreciate the modern day Pagianini. He wasn't the same after his accident but he is still cool.


Posted by: JJJ

I like house/club music, not the commercialised stuff they play on the radio thou...
But the radio is always set to pop at my gym =/


btw, why are all deathmetal n stuff like that from norway?

I have a hard time finding anybody who knows about Sinister, it seems they have somewhat dropped off the death map. I saw them last at Berkeley Square in 1993, I heard they have a woman doing vocal duties also now? I really love thrashy stuff so I am a fan of thier work.

Europe is big on black metal where the US is very rap oriented, thats just how it goes. I like techno/electronica also if done well, but for the gym stuff its all metal. Vader (Polish death metal) is a great band I have seen recently, alot of the other bands are from Germanic countries though yep.

Basher is better live... on CD it seems kind of comical. First four Deicide albums are awesome (as was the Amon demo).

Think about it man. Norway is in complete darkness many months out of the year where these bands are from. It is really fucking depressing. Hence the high suicide rates and kick ass black metal. Hell, some of the guys from these bands kill each other, burn down churches, murder people and kill themselves. It's fucked up. Makes for good music though.

Yes, and I hate her. For a while they went the "technical death metal" route, which I loathe, as they lost their patented groove. On Savage or Grace, they did manage to recapture it, but that woman's vocals totally ruin the experience, ultimately detracting from the music.

And it's not because she's a woman, but rather due to the fact that she 'sings' with a Barnes-like indistinguishable growl.

Speaking of groove, Grave is especially good. "Soulless" is one of greatest death metal songs, hands down.

I thought Sweden was the suicide centre of the world? Swedes commit suicide, finns have knifefights, danes talk like they have a hot potatoe in their mouth and the norweigians are stupid. Yup, thats how it is

It's almost like Spinal Tap.

I always thought that Mayhem should have made a theme out of this all ----given that one of their singers committed suicide, and that their bassist stabbed their guistarist to death.

For every concert, they should hire a session vocalist who will slit himself into a casket.


Posted by: Freeman

haha, swedes do have high suicide rates, but so do Norwegians. I'd love to move there though, for other reasons. Also, that region seems to put out a lot of strong men. Must be something in the water.

Yeah, the water is really good. Noone buys bottled water.
You wanna move here to get with all the blondes right?
Sweden used to have alot of big guys, but nowadays the finns and polish are dominating the strongman contests. Luckily I got a finnish citizenship aswell.

Listen to whatever pushes your buttons. It's different for everyone. Avoid Top 40 , boy bands and Bon Jovi and you should be ok.


I'm a guitar player so I listen to alot of heavy guitar music.

Guitar-based or Techno music seem to pump people up when working out.

You metal heads might want to check out Opeth, Arcturus , Dimmu Borgir.... to only name a few.

Long live the Vikings .




Posted by: Mudge

Opeth I dont have a lot of appreciation for, Dimmu is pretty good, they did some work with a symphony since we were on the subject earlier.

I used to have a Rhoads Pro USA which was pretty sweet, ran me $1300. I have a 5150 head, Mesa Boogie 2x12 (bummer, I know), and a Korean made guitar that I got off eBay which is actually pretty bitchin, Raven is the brand. I had been wanting a 4x12 for years, Carvin was one that I was hoping to pick up but I dont play as much nowdays and it would be sh!t-loud.


Posted by: derekisdman

Holy crap you guys listen to Yngwie Malmsteen too!? I thought I was the only one. I didn't even mention him cause I didn't think you guys would know who the heck I was talking about. I love his Rising Force album so much - it's probably in my top 5 favorites. The guy can play so insanely fast it's amazing.

Anyone listen to Van Halen?


Posted by: jaydawg73

HATEBREED ROCKS AS WELL..USUALLY ANYTHING HARD AND FAST DOES THE JOB FOR ME


Posted by: vanity

problem with malmsteen is his runs get repetitive after a while but my main beef with him has always been the singing. I'd like it alot more if it was instrumental only.

still though you gotta love shredding.

A Raven guitar huh, what model/color?


Posted by: derekisdman

Some of the singing is not so good I agree...But in rising force I believe only two of the songs were not instrumental. Plus, he played bass as well for the album which is pretty cool I think.

Yngwie is somewhat repetitive in his style, very signature, very detectable.

Not sure on the model maybe I have the info somewhere, not sure if it is on the guitar somewhere, it is a bolt on but the play action is badass, semi-light but not too light, and a nice thin neck. Reminds me somewhat of the nicer old thrasher Ibanez thin body guitars ala Alex Scholnick and Exodus (Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt).

Harpsichord was him also I thought? Maybe not though. The scalloped fretboard must be a beach to play on.

I listen to EVH now and again. About the only "metal" that I dont listen to much of is hair band stuff, I will admit to liking some of it though.


Posted by: vanity

I think he only played guitars and bass.

I've played his signature strat with the scalloped neck.
very light touch , you could really fly thru your solos but you go out of tune fairly easily.

I guess I am the only hip hop head in here, as usual. ha. I only got that underground thugg shit, that murder muzik in my player. I am bumpin C-Bo, Yukmouth, that regime shit, Tech n9ne, Brotha Lynch Hung, Makaveli of course, that Outlawz shit. I love Rage Against the Machine as well. that type of music puts me in the right mood to do some damage no doubt.


Posted by: rock4832

I find musicals pumps me up. "Oklahoma" and "The Sound of Music" helps me float on through heavy Deadlifts.

Personally I like Eminem.

I fucking love Opeth (sorry mudge, disagreement here) Their last album specifically is absolutely amazing. I usually listen to a track or two at night as I'm falling asleep. I wouldn't work out to it though. I just have to listen to whatever is on the gym's radio.


Posted by: vanity

yea, I think Opeth is a great band. I love progressive and complex arrangements.

It all depends on the mood you're in. Alot of good bands out there.


Posted by: Freeman

Dream Theater anyone? Their new CD is really good from what little I've heard.

see I am a fan of his ealier work much more than hiw new stuff. I think his best album was Infinite which wasa released a long time before he became famous. The beats are kindof wack but lyrically it is his best album, he is an unbelievable lyricist. I liike the Slim Shady LP better than any of his main albums though, I like that style he has where he is storytelling or just crazy and lude. Plus in that album he still talks about being poor which I can relate to more than the millions he has now. Honestly the best Slim stuff I have heard is the underground stuff he has done, he gets a chance to be more hip hop and lyrical, as opposed to appealing to a mass audience. I like all his shit though. he is definately on of my favorite artists


Posted by: Pepper

I just picked up Chingy and I think it is going to excellent for working out.

He is definately a talented artist, one of the most talented I know! I haven't heard any of his underground songs, I've only got his 3 cd's and some stuff with Dre and 50 cent.

I like Dream Theatre , especially Live.

petrucci is a good player.

Yeah, that'd be awesome man. I'd like to get more of Eminems music. I like his music from the beginning (his first CD) but for getting pumped during a workout is when I use mostly the Eminem Show and a few from his second CD. And of course Lose Yourself, that always gets me going. I use Limewire. I tried Kaazza once and it messed up my computer.

I sometimes work out to 3 six, Pac, or UGK but very rarely. i find metal just more agressive. Man gr8 can't believe u actually like tech9 but to each his own. Hey hip hop lovers check out Aesop Rock and Cannibal Ox if u haven't already heard of them. Good shit!


Posted by: gr81

what is wrong with tech n9ne, he is sicc as fuck. He has a totally unique flow to him, lyrically he is a great rapper and he brings his own style to the mic. I can't believe that you like 36 mafia. what of tech n9ne's shit have you heard even?

I downloaded the cd anghellic or something like that. I thought his is flow was kinda weak as well as the production. And yeah a lot of peeps don't like 3 6 but for some reason I kinda dig thier shit. The beats are nice. Have u heard the project pat cd there's some nice tunes on there especially Gorilla Pimping.


Posted by: gr81

I don't really like angellic either. it isn't his best cd. alot of teh tracks sound like club music tracks that are really up beat. Try peepin calm before the storm or absolute power. he is much more gangsta in those albums and the beats are more sicc type beats. Also anything that he has done with Yukmout is truly thugged out, you gotta love that shit.

that basically says it all for me, thanks derek. It isn't that I hate him, it is just the whole image thye try to market him as. How thugged out can you be when you are on TRL and shit. His rap style is not very clever at all and everyone talks about how gangsta he is b/c he has been shot. All I have to say is how well would be be doing if Em didn't bring him up? Almost anyone taht Slim decides to make big and produce beats for is gonna be hot IMO. The one thing I will give him credit for is that he is trying to drive Ja rule out of the game, I do love that. He is a Pac biter though. he won't be around in a few years most likely.


Posted by: Flex

The reason most of these guys go on TRL and shit like that is cuz that's where the money is.

it gets to a point where they don't care if they "sell out", cuz they make so much more by appealing to white teenagers that go out and buy their cd's.

its all about the benjamins......


Posted by: Flex

don't get me wrong, i love rap music, but i dont know how you guys work out to that shit. i like rap when i'm driving or at a party, but i need heavy death metal when i lift, rap will put me to sleep......


Posted by: gr81

the stuff I listen to is emotional as fuck. It puts me in a certain mood where I am angry and ready to be intense. Maybe not everyoen could peep it while training but it fuels me.


Posted by: Mudge

I think both rap and metal has potential to "make" people agressive, heck look at all the shootings and crap.


Posted by: vanity

Mudge:

nice guitar. I've seen one like that before. Same color too but it had gold hardware and a whammy bar.

The body shape is very similar to my Jem.


Posted by: Mudge

I saw one with the gold hardware but in purple, mine is a blem but I sure as heck dont even remember or know where the blem is because it looks perfect. The play action is awesome for an under $200 guitar, it feels like a $500 Jackson. The Rhoads that I had was great to play, as long as you felt like standing up all the damn time. Since it was an offset V it also wasn't the best thing to leave outside of the case, so it was a pain, but great to play.


Posted by: vanity

there's some pretty good inexpensive guitars out there these days. Some of the Gibson Epiphones or Fender (mexican Teles) are pretty solid, the feel is good and they're under 200 bucks.
Upgrade the pickups and you got a good sounding , sturdy axe on your hands.


Posted by: Mudge

I had a Charvel/Jackson (heavy body, dont know the wood) that was great, and had active pickups. No Telecasters for me, no strats, definitely into the trasher guitars. 7 string would be neat if they weren't so pricey.

You know I have always liked the BC Rich guitars and they are back in biz, but I liked the last headstock better than the "Widow" headstock. Rich Bich and the Warlock were my two favorites, but honestly more for looks than playability on the cheap end of things and I dont want to drop $800+ on a guitar right now


Posted by: vanity

alot of the 80's hair band guitarists had the charvel's and bc rich's.

nice guitars, good for metal. Classy but brutal at the same time.


Posted by: BlueCorsair

Like almost everyone else, I think "metal motivates"

Everything from Gothenburg Death Metal (In Flames) to speed/power metal (Stratovarius/Iron Maiden) to dark/tradtional metal (Sentenced/Metallica/Motorhead)

What can I say, crunching chords, wild solos, and a helluva lot of bellowing/screaming just seems to fit lifting weights

"Blinded by Fear," from Slaughter of the Soul, is incredible. Can also find the song on their compilation, Suicidal Final Art.

Definitely one of my favourite lifting songs.

That's my thoughts. I hear all this hype about him and how people listen to his music to work out too. All the songs I've downloaded of his I haven't liked. Like he's really missing something in his songs.

What are some of the songs you listen to for this? That's what I go for when training.

Yep, during the early days of Megadeth, Dave Mustaine also had an old BC Rich with the original style headstock, I liked the second gen best.

They are a death metal outfit

I love all of their releases, up to Domination (my fave MA release). God knows how many times I tossed iron to that album when I was a teenager.

Was listening to it the other day in my car.

I had been revisiting Morbid Angel and Napalm Death over the last few months.

Cradle of Filth is great, especially songs like "Death comes ripping" and "Hallowed be thy name"

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a great cover of the Iron Maiden classic. and Cruelty and the Beast and Principle of Evil Made Flesh are their best albums IMO.


Posted by: Mindless

Ya, I like it by Iron Maiden, but it just doesn't do the same thing while lifting.

when I think of death metal and all that crap I think of white trailer trash... sad to think so many of you guys are porking your cousins... damn...

My fav song 2 work out to is dead bodies everywhere by korn, also adidas and various songs by them korn just pumps me up


Posted by: vanity

the korn singer has a large head.


Posted by: Jay-B

hey hey the man is already on anti-depressants dont pick on him. some great blood pumpin songs come form that big ass head.


Posted by: Freeman

I hate korn, and most of the bands that are like them. I don't listen to much heavy shit anymore, only on the way to and from the gym usually. And when I do, it's brutal stuff, like COF and hatebreed..I also jam it out to old school metallica.


Posted by: vanity

come to think of it, I don't exactly have a small head either.


Posted by: Freeman




Posted by: Jay-B

lol, no u dont
and i think it would sound weird if i said i worked out while listening to cold play huh?


Posted by: Freeman

hey, cold play is incredible..I can get pumped listening to some of their shit...the more upbeat stuff..


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

lol, I've lifted to Dashboard confessionals... you know bruce lee didn't rock out to Led Zepplin before he would perform... he concentrated on breathing and focusing energy...


Posted by: Freeman

I can't stand dashboard! lol

Midget rock just isn't for me


Posted by: vanity

coldplay's singer takes catabolic steroids.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

Posted by: Jay-B

Me, I listen to a wide variety... I never limit myself to one category. But I tend to lean more toward R&B and hip hop. Hell sometimes I even slap some 2pac in. That makes for an interesting work out. And other times a little Ice Cube can be good. There is one song on the radio I keep hearing with Ice Cube but don't know the name of it...I forget all the learics, but they say Monkey in the song ... I know that isn't much to go on, but thought maybe someone might know the name of it.

Now if it is Rock, I like stuff like AC/DC and Kiss, Nugent, Montrose, Sammy Haggar, Foreigner, Floyd, Heart, etc etc...that was my rock era.

whoever dogged pantera has no taste, when you work out your not trying to impress anyone (if your doing it right) you do it in yoru basement like Mr T on rocky 3. I personally listen to PANTERA -FAR BEYOND DRIVEN.. Slaughtered, Im Broken. Its the insane sound and furousity from it, I gain terrible amounts of strength. I can do 400 push ups (full push ups) while I listen to strength beyond strength and be done before the next song. the song is down right psycho.

PANTERA
SLIPKNOT (the first album- ONLY)
SLAYER
OBITUARY
CARCASS
BIOHAZARD
COAL CHAMBER

I recently just happened upon Lacuna Coil and I love it. Got like 20 songs on my mp3 player from them now.

Rap and hip hop in general I don't like, and I definately prefer rock(usually hard and loud) to pretty much anything else when working out.

I was on-line looking for some Rap type Hip Hop songs to dance to for my Dance Aerobics? thought it would help give an upbeat twist to help kick it into gear? So....i purchased "Usher's 90 MInute Freak-off" tape, thinking that could be the one? When i got it home and put it in.....i immediately knew this was NOT what i was looking for.... I was looking for something HIP to HOP to? This SEXY & SULTRY Love stuff was made for working out alright....in the Bedroom!!! LOL.

This tape is 4-Sale if anyone wants to Buy it? Brand New -- (only used 1 song) -- Give it 2 ya for 6 bucks total and that includes shipping!!! who knows you & your girl could get in a really good work-out!!! (know what i mean? ~ he. he.)
