How about “Bodies” or “Rise Up” by Drowning Pool, or “The Game” or “King of Kings” by Motorhead? Or heck, go with “The Ecstasy of Gold” by Ennio Morricone. Maybe Metallica’s “Damage, Inc”. Maybe Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail To The King”.
Bodies has quick become a classic at games. Good call.
Ok, I’m over 50 and even I know that some of those songs are really really old and wouldn’t pump anyone up these days. Listen to “Indestructible” by Disturbed. Now this one will PUMP-UP any WARRIOR and may even peel the paint off your walls! LOL
Good one. Totally agree.
What about “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica or “Bad Company” by 5 Finger Death Punch?
5FDP Bad Company rocks!
