BeeGees Kill Concentration...Metal for Iron!!

[DaMayor]

What would you folks consider the most motivational yet 'multi-demographic' work-out music? The owner of our gym finds it necessary to leave his sytem set on a "pop" station when he leaves his office, and I just can't lift with the "Friday at Five Disco/Retro Hour" blairing in the background.

 

[P-funk]

Metalica
any classic rock
Pantera
Anything heavy

 

[DaMayor]

I agree, but nowadays its a hard split between rap and rock. I'm not a rap fan...I'd rather listen to Older Metal, as well as Puddle of Mudd, Creed etc., on the newer end. They beat this new crowd of anorexic hyperactive alternative twits that are so popular! Where'd these little peckers come from anyway? I'm Just gettin' old, I guess......IS THIS WHAT ITS LIKE, ALBOB???"

At my gym they play dance and techno music. The only time I really notice music when I am at the gym is in between sets. But during the set I don't even hear the music. I am just concentrating on moving weight. I wouldn't be focused at all if I was worried about listening to my music during the actual set.

I had to work at my gym thismorning, it was Rock for liftin (80-90's) and then I put some techno on for cardio.

The techno was re-done old rock

 

[I Are Baboon]

I totally agree that the Bee Gees can kill your concentration. I mean, Andy Gibb is where my motivation comes from.



I am stuck listening to whatever is playing on the radio at the gym. I don't care what they play because I tend to block everyone and everything out while I am working out.

 

[DaMayor]

I'm not saying that I should be entertained. I've gotten to the point where I can block out most things. It would just be nice to have something a bit more motivational crankin' in the background.
Eminem><DaMayor

 

[P-funk]

ditto on the eminem.

 

[Scotty the Body]

I like Eminem

 

[DaMayor]

What's he so pissed about anyway? The fact that he's a PUNK?

 

[w8lifter]

OMG....try lifting to fuking Celine Dion!

 

[P-funk]

OMG....try lifting to fuking Celine Dion!

lol. That's bad but nothing kills a w/o like Cher!!

 

[DaMayor]

Where do you work out? The boutique de' fitness? I'll bet they have mints at each station, nes pas?

ummmm, no thanks!

I've got two cd's I bring to lift to ... one DaMayor wouldn't like (Eminem, Will Smith, P Diddy ... etc) and the other he would (Saliva, Creed, Theory of a Deadman, etc) ...

 

[P-funk]

They don't play Cher were I w/o now. The music isn't to bad at my gym.

When I lived in Boston I used to lift at Golds Gym and for some reason they always played Cher. That was the only time I ever had to wear headphones to the gym.

 

[DaMayor]

At our gym lately, (Huh, more like everytime she walks in the door) the owner's wife plays the same limp biscuit CD over and over.... Like a chump,ehhh like a chump, ehhh.... Limp Indeed.
I need some DISTORTION, some PERCUSSION (ALL of the drums, not just the Kick), I NEED SOME WHIPLASH INDUCING RAGE BABY!!
The gym is the only place I can turn it loose these days....without getting arrested, that is. Please keep in mind that DaMayor is a public figure, y'know

.

 

[Vale Tudo]

I would definiteyl say that system of a down, and Rage against the machine can both get me throughly pumped up

 

[Mudge]

I like thrash metal, 80s metal, and even death metal. Sometimes I'll listen to something more melodical like Yngwie Malmsteen.

 

[DaMayor]

Hmmm. From thrash to Yngwie Malmsteen. Have I used adjectives like 'odd', 'queer', or 'bizarre' to describe you yet, Madge? You is a freaky MoFo!

What ever happened to groups like Tex and the Horseheads and Black Flag? Ahh the days of halfpipe jams!

I also like classical, but not for my workouts

[DaMayor]

First of all, I'd like to see MM just grab w8 for a little slow dance..this would be entertaining.
Mudge........nevermind.

Black Flag is an old punk band, which I never much got into, somehow I'm stuck on 80s music for the most part, including 80s pop and metal. I like music that feels like a kick in the head.

Instrumental metal like Yngwie, is an example of a wierd feeling you get when you hear instrumental perfection, elegant solos that keep you on the edge. Part of what I like about Yngwie, is the classical influence, I can't remember the violinist he was inspired by, but his playing was described as "influenced by demons."

As for classical I like pretty much all of it, but especially intricate and fast piano or violin.

We've had this site before and I'll respond the same.
SHOWTUNES!!!! Such as: anything from the Sound of Music. OKLAHOMA!!, I'm so Pretty(Westside Story). IN short any showtune that makes you feel happy and gay. (the good kinda guy not the gay kinda gay)

(that hard rock stuff just makes you want to rob a gas station and it turns you into a drug addict) I know cause my mom told me so.

 

[DaMayor]

ALBOB, IS THAT YOU?

Rob gas stations? Drugs? Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh my!
I'd rather do HARD TIME than listen to showtunes....or feel gay, for that matter.
Hey Madge!! Are you rubbing off on these people?

 

[Mudge]

The Palmolive must be leaking through the skin...

 

[DaMayor]

Eh heh heh heh. You're a good sport, M.
