What song fires you up?

[Jag-D]

Every now and then a song comes along that, for whatever reason, fires me up...sends me off on one in a way!

Rusty Cage by Soundgarden is a classic example as is Duality by Slipknot!

So, what songs fire you up?

[gbbird]

Self Esteem by The Offsrping does it for me

[Pints]

I always keep one of my CDs by The Prodigy for just such an occasion.

[Romanymagic]

You'll laugh but mine is...


...Gat Decor - Passion

[anonymous-user]

Breaking Benjamin - So Cold

I can't play it in the car anymore or I'll start driving like an idiot.

[Glacier]

Depeche Mode - Dream On

Big fan of 80's/Industrial here

[kiteless]

Underworld - "Kiteless"

Megadeth - "Hangar 18"

Pearl Jam - "Hail! Hail!"

Derek & The Dominoes - "Got To Get Better" (Live at The Fillmore)

I suppose the only thing that unites all the above - for me - is the relentlessness of each track. Just that feeling of barely contained energy.

"Kiteless" has a 16 minute relentless beat, but with ever evolving harmonies and loops which I will never ever tire of, and it will always be my ultimate driving choon. On "Hangar 18" Mustaine & Friedman exchange ever more frenetic solos over a punishing BPM. The other two, when I listen to them, project a feeling that the band just cannot stop playing as they are so "mad for it".

60% of Prodigy songs would do for me..

Slayer - Reign in Blood

Carcass - Incarnated Solvent Abuse (particular after around 13 secs)

Chemical Brothers - Loops of Fury

[minimatt1967]

Megadeth- Tornado of Souls
Iron Maiden- Run to the Hills
Supergrass- Richard III
Slipknot- My Plague

so many to choose from, so many more...

[nonplussed]

Jealous Again, Black Crowes

[E36]

The Rocky theme tune, obviously... Anybody who says otherwise is a poof.

[Alfanatic]

Quite a few choices above that do it for me too. Also:

Metallica - Damage, Inc.
Ozzy Osbourne - You can't kill rock n' roll
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper
Free Bird, when it piles into the upbeat guitar duet at the end.
Muse - Time is running out

[S7Paul]

Plenty of Metallica songs have that effect on me (too many to mention), so instead I'll throw in:

30/30-150 - Stone Sour
Slither - Velvet Revolver
Right Now - Korn

[Gargamel]

third eye blind - semi charmed kind of life

[jesusbuiltmycar]

Jane's Addiction - 3 Days

one of my favourite guitar solos.
