Review the Music @ Sixers Games

Hey all

Could well be throwing myself to the Lions a bit here, but I'm looking for feedback on how you felt about the music at the Dome this season while it is still fresh in your minds.

So from the Team intros thru to Can You Feel It at the end, what do you think worked well with the crowd, what fizzed. What would you like to hear more of? less of? never again?

Feel free to be harsh (or nice), but also try to explain your reasoning rather than just saying 'don't play this cause its crap'

Fire away...

I liked the Thunderstruck that was played. It suited the game and got people getting into it (clapping).

I feel someone should be critical but I cant be I thought last few weeks awesome . Compared to other clubs I thought previous guy was ok to.
Not your problem Skip but they need to get on court microphone better if going to do interviews

I'll be critical (trust me), loved the Moscow song but each time cut too short. The people around me were always hanging out for the;

"Moscow, Moscow, throwing glasses at the wall
And good fortune to us all, Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh, Hey!
Moscow, Moscow, join us for a Cossack Show
We'll go dancing 'round the clock, Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah, Hey!"

so we could sing along with it but it never got that far. Perhaps next time its cut short Skip, it can resume from there next time the music plays.

Overall, it was great this year.

Pretty good skip. Good mix however there are some songs we've had for the past couple of seasons or so that can get a little tired. EG:Thunderstruck is great but is getting a little ho hum. Great to see some more recent songs eg Pink 'So What.' My suggestion would be to bring in new and different each season, with a couple of old faves.....probably no different to what you're doing now!!

Good job this year Skip,nothing personal but getting a bit sick of Can You Feel It at the end of games.
Apart from that youve done well to get the crowd rocking,keep it up.

Sorry bout that.

Just swap the Presets song ('don't play this cause its crap' :P) and the Moscow song for two hip hop tracks and the music this year would've been perfect! Love galvanize - great pump-up song. Overall good job skip.

Love the Fratellis. Chelsea Dagger

But I think you should only play it when the boys get on a good run.

I loved thunderstruck and can you feel itas they were timed beautifully. It wouldn't be a game at the dame without them.
I think however, you need somemore R'n'B/hip hopand felt that when the other team wa making their entrance the songs weren't at all saying 'you've come to our gym, a place where you have no chance.' that or something that gets the people into itthat way when the 6ers comeout the stadiums already loud and can only get louder good songs for this are...

prelude by AFI, in the end by linkin park, remember the name by fort minor or the remix with francisco

apart from that so much better than past years

Thunderstruck and Can You Feel It are definite keeps Skip. That should be heritage listed! We love waiting for Can you feel It towards the end of a win. Did anyone notice NZ play Can You Feel It and the beginning of the game?....just not the same at the beginning.

I thought the music was a great improvement on previous years. All the classics were still there and I think the volume was just about perfect - not too loud, not too soft.

The Moskau song is really a timeless classic. Love it!

Check out the lead dude's dance moves. He's my hero.

Think you've done a great job skip, big improvement over last year. Thunderstruck is the perfect sports song, love it.

Also though Presets were good, and unlike some of the above people, I think you had the mix between rock/dance/hip hop pretty much spot on. I wouldn't mind hearing some Hilltop Hoods every now and then though, reckon something like 'What a Great Night' would work well, although I'm not sure if the lyrics would get you into trouble?

Cheers

"Cossack on, cossack off."

Seriously, try doing some of those dance moves. They're damn near impossible.

Skip, great job but not as good as the Lightning court announcer, MC AND DJ, he does all three jobs at the same time!

YMCA is popular at Lightning.
Can't remember if skip does that or not

I really enjoyed the music this year. Great idea bringing in the Organ Music. Dont change too much. But perhaps some of the "clutch" stuff that gets played at NBA games when teams come out of time outs, with only a few seconds left on the clock.
