What music do you rally to?

[Skaadvik]

This might be in the wrong forum... but the subject is what kind of music you listen to while you pwn noobs or mobs or whatever.

Personally, I find that nothing gets me in the killing spirit quite like some good Death Metal or Viking Metal. Amon Amarth, Heaven Shall Burn, and Mastodon are all bands I would recommend for purposes of WoW rallying.

Well?

[Izrail]

Industrial or industrial rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_rock), especially Pigface, Nine Inch Nails, and Rammstein. VNV Nation as well, but they're EBM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_body_music) or something.

[Malebrignon]

Eh? It's a WoW-related discussion. It's fine here.

My PvP playlist is dominated by: Danko Jones, She Wants Revenge, Arctic Monkeys, Life of Agony, and Wolfmother.

That works for all my characters except 'Brig. PvP with 'Brig requires creatures like Dean Martin and Rachmaninoff.

[Shadowspeak]

Hahaha, another she wants revenge fan.... awesome!

Arch enemy, Tool, Queens of the Stoneage, sometimes lamb of God if I feel like it, and Black Sabbath.

[Shadowspeak]

I Pigface, g.

LOVE Pigface. My brother got me into them a while back.

Very few know about them because of A: Their chaotic members and B: their age.

[Xiphus]

Orchestral or classical, normally. Sometimes, even epics.

[Lythas]

... cheerful Korean MMO game soundtracks. Trufax.

[Kaliera]

[Chikt]

Halo soundtrack and/or the Portal Soundtrack.

I listen to "Still Alive" on repeat when I'm PvPing simply because it's appropriate.

EDIT: Stupid campus lag making me double post.

[RavenReverend]

Anything by Mindless Self Indulgence, Rammstein, Lordi, Powerman 5000, Stabbing Westward, Lords of Acid...

The song "Reload" comes to mind, but for some reason I listen to "He-Man" by the Bondage Faeries when I'm PVPing a lot o.O Lots of German industrial...

[Sinthe]

^That

[Grev]

Gladiator, 300, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Batman Begins, The Last Samurai, Troy, Passion of the Christ... really just movie soundtracks.

If I'm feeling gritty I like 90s hardcore rap. Wu-Tang, Biggie, Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Nas, etc.

[Riffs]

I don't really pick what I'm listening to based on what I'm doing, but Muse, QOTSA, the Arctic Monkeys, the Dirty Pretty Things, etc. seem to fit the action stuff better.

This is probably more appropriate for MY pvp experiences though. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBdeCxJmcAo&feature=related)

[swiftbleid]

Swiftbleid: Sesame Street theme song.. Seriously, I've been listening to a lot of BeardFish while l play Wow. Appropriate for both of my main characters.

[Naheal]

I set up a playlist on youtube and go from there. What I choose depends on my mood. Here's a few examples.

Down and out -Tantric (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfL3JquwnD4)

Du Hast - Rammstein (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2eT-sTVys)

Hymn of Saturn - Sailor Moon Soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4LjdiW9V4M&feature=related)

Inside the Fire - Disturbed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFCBPR-LcO8)

Duke Nukem Theme - Megadeth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUCbflBkIgo)

Side of a Bullet - Nickelback (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeXf_-G1cuc)

Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin, Halo 2 Soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS6vwmrFxGo)

Mombasa Suite - Halo 2 Soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9sl9kG3qQ)

I've got plenty of others. This is but a taste.

[Keraph]

I listen predominately to Dethklok's Dethalbum whilst PvPing. It does me goooood.

[Yatokth]

Manowar, Dragonforce, Ensiferum, Stratovarius, Rage Against the Machine, Saliva, Rob Zombie...

Just to name a few.

[Lisbet]

mmm rage against the machine.. *cries*


I listen to the wow music. I can't music and wow, because then I can't hear my kids, or heid >.<

[Vilmah]

I need power metal. Good triumphant music. Anything by Rhapsody, Hammerfall(LOLOL), Dragonforce, Edguy, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica... guys like that.

[Tillna]

Whatever hits my random shuffle setting on my player.

Mostly heavier stuff. The sfoter things when I'm PVPing or raiding? SKIP

[Ellsbeth]

Online radio if I'm listening to music. http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com

I'm like Grev I think. The majority of CDs I own are soundtracks to a movie, tv show, or that kind of thing.

[Advurb]

Iron Maiden, Gamma Ray, Prodigy, various video game soundtracks

[Yichimet]

Mastodon

I have the biggest fucking obsession with these dudes, and I don't know why--I don't normally dig metal that much. I cannot get enough of Mastodon though. I think it's 'cause they wrote an album about Moby Dick. As far as other metal on my iPod--and I do dig the metal when I need to get pumped--I like Disfear, Minor Times and though they're probably only marginally metal, The Austerity Program and Pelican.

Otherwise it's pumped-up pop like Pretty Girls Make Graves and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

[Ninorra]

D'oh, I was gonna see Mastadon and Dragonforce at Mayham Fest but have to save for the wedding instead.. x_x

[Bir]

A whole lot of crap, mostly. Depends on where the noobs are I'm pwning.

From calming ambient techno to screamo.

Can't get through EoTS without something loud.

Calming music is for waiting for them to get back to their corpse. Been doing this on my priest a lot.

*gigglesnort* I love you...

[Haldren]

I was too busy watching Machine Head to see Mastadon, but you didn't miss anything with Dragonforce...they sound like poop live.

[Vilmah]

I disagree, I saw them at the 9:30 Club in DC and they were magnificent. I sqealed like a fangirl almost as much as I did when I saw Sonata Arctica.

[Daly]

Jimmy Buffett

That's right, you were killed by a guy listening to "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville."

I don't blame you for being upset.

[Szordrin]

Mahler. Always Mahler when I'm kicking ass. Nothing can compare to the virtuosity that is Mahler.

Sometimes it's the Beatles though.... >.> Don't judge.

For knowing Pelican, you receive one high five. I have a pretty good-sized raging boner for prog and post-metal.

If you like Mastodon, and you like Pelican, you HAVE to listen to Baroness. It's sludgy, proggy, post-metally goodness.

http://www.myspace.com/yourbaroness

Seriously. You won't regret it.

[Naheal]

*gigglesnort* I love you...

Really, you're just jealous that you can't kick ass to that soundtrack.

*high-five received, and returned for the awesome new music to listen to*

[Agnarr]

LOVE Pigface. My brother got me into them a while back.

Very few know about them because of A: Their chaotic members and B: their age.

And Martin and co. always put on an AWESOME stage show. I've seen them a few times now.

If I'm listening to music, I usually select my players "all" playlist and hit the random button. Varies from Y Kant Tori Read to Maschinenfest 2003 to Nick Cave to Dir En Gray to In Flames to Zeromancer and many stops in between.

[Fynne]

Either shamelessly bad 80s hits or disney showtunes, really.

Although lately I've been jamming to some good old videogame soundtracks; oldschool shit like Contra 3, Megaman X, Area 88 (UN Squadron) and the most bestest videogame soundtrack of all time: Mechwarrior 2.

[Sinthe]

I disagree, I saw them at the 9:30 Club in DC and they were magnificent. I sqealed like a fangirl almost as much as I did when I saw Sonata Arctica.

I'm with Haldren on this one.

When I saw Dragonforce live in '06 I thought they were terrible.

[Cedes]

i have a guildie who is a big time DJ in canada and he always has his stuff playing on vent. So i hop into "Pneuma's cyborz chat" channel and lisen to that instead.

most of his works are trance psy stuff but If i do lisen to anything else its radiohead for WoW.

This is why your opinion is invalid.

[Okhu]

Example.

[Persefani]

Saturday Night "Drunken BGs" is always played to great aka bad 80's music pumped in to vent. You would have had done one of these parties with Leithlen and I to understand.

[Vilmah]

This is why your opinion is invalid.

[Moknim]

The tears of Alliance gnomes hitting the ground.

Sounds like happy.

What's this? Power Metal bands I HAVEN'T HEARD OF?!?!

-goes out to acquire this shit-

[Raziel]

hahahaha.. so moody.

[Ninorra]

What's this? Power Metal bands I HAVEN'T HEARD OF?!?!


Ohhhh if you need more, let me know!! I am a power metal enthusiast!

[Pelerin]

Whatever comes on random on the iTunes shuffle setting.

Nothing like "hulking up" in an AV to the tune of ABBA.

For consoling gaming, if there's a nasty boss or something I can't quite manage to beat, there's only one solution: Natural Born Killaz by Dr. Dre & Ice Cube. It's what got me over the hump when fighting Phantom Ganon in Ocarina of Time, and I've used it ever since.
