best song to work out with

**killer4life** · 11-10-2003, 07:31 AM

what type of music do u guys think is the best

**Dante B.** · 11-10-2003, 08:13 AM

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.

**Mudge** · 11-10-2003, 08:19 AM

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!

**Dante B.** · 11-10-2003, 08:23 AM

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

**ponyboy** · 11-10-2003, 09:01 AM

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!

**derekisdman** · 11-10-2003, 09:04 AM

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.

**BabsieGirl** · 11-10-2003, 09:14 AM

How about a laugh.

Jamming with Richard Simmons.

**Dante B.** · 11-10-2003, 09:20 AM

Babsie,

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

**Jodi** · 11-10-2003, 09:26 AM

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.

**HoldDaMayo** · 11-10-2003, 09:36 AM

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...

**Rob_NC** · 11-10-2003, 09:39 AM

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!

**Flex** · 11-10-2003, 09:40 AM

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.

**Jodi** · 11-10-2003, 09:40 AM

OK seriously now:

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

**HoldDaMayo** · 11-10-2003, 09:45 AM

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

It's peachy keen.

'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.

**Jodi** · 11-10-2003, 09:58 AM

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.

**jaydawg73** · 11-10-2003, 10:44 AM

what kind of music dose therion play?

**jaydawg73** · 11-10-2003, 10:45 AM

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.

**Mudge** · 11-10-2003, 10:52 AM

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.

**Testosterone** · 11-10-2003, 10:54 AM

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

**Dante B.** · 11-10-2003, 11:00 AM

I've been listening to Hate and Bastard Saints a great deal, lately, especially on my way to the gym.
