Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Love Sweet Appalachia, it would be a great tune to play in the stadium.
And don't dare throw shade on the Tennessee Waltz, that's a tradition that goes back decades. And many fans still love it, Delta Airlines be damned.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Yes, yes, 1000 times yes. I love the lyrics on the scoreboard to get the crowd into it. Heck, get Dell and Luke Combs to record a custom version just for us.
Please! Make this happen.

Heck, even recruit Eric Church if he has finished up his custom version of “Carolina on my mind” for Mack Brown…

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
They should play "Swag Surfin" during a first quarter television break with App on defense. I guarantee you the commentators would mention the crowd hype when they returned from commercial break, and the players would be sooo hype.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Sweet Appalachia would be an easy song to incorporate into our gameday. Just substitute Appalachian for Appalachia through out the song. I've been doing it for years... In fact I can't believe we haven't thought of this before...

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
AppinVa, I have no way of knowing whether you are being serious or sarcastic/facetious since i am not part of the tailgate click but those two songs have special meaning to me and they are universal to at least SOME generations of Mountaineers. Having read most of the posts so far, all of the proposals thus far have special meanings to individuals on this message board, but all in all, it would suit me just fine to hear our Band of Distinction play anything they choose.AppinVA wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 5:33 amLuke opened his concert with Mountain Music, so I’m MM neutral, but don’t you blaspheme the Waltz.Blackshirt68 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 5:26 amAnything played other than Tennessee Waltz and Mountain Music. The state board of education needs more money for geography education. If you’re so thrilled with these songs, as Lewis Grizzard said, “Delta is ready when you are”.
That’s just my humble opinion based on a generational thing.

Bugler's Dream, because the more times it is played the more times Appalachian has scored. It was the sweetest song played in Ann Arbor. I bet some Michigan Fans that were there 1 September 2007 hate that song when they hear it and do not know why.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
I mean, I don't like it either. But the whole crowd sings it. every time. So it's popular and get the fans involved. That's why.t4pizza wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 3:18 pmI will say that my least favorite has to be "Sweet Caroline" simply because it is played at EVERY stadium in the US it seems. I get it as a Red Sox thing (and I despise them) but not sure how it fits in with App State Football. That being said, I realize that the crowd loves it and most people sing along, but can't we get something unique that is ours and not borrow from the Red Sox and everyone else. The Gators do it right with Tom Petty at the end of the third, lets try something like that with our own Luke Combs and get away from the tired and borrowed Neil Diamond classic. Anyways, off my soapbox now.

Luke Combs “Beer Never Broke My heart”. App Alumni and one who dearly LOVES App State unlike another music guy we know that went to App. It is a Tar Hole Wannabe!

I always wondered how The Tennessee Waltz became the closing number -

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Anytime the crowd gets into the action I’m ok. Mountian Music lyrics are weird for us but crowd likes it.
Va Tech still goes crazy for ‘Shout’complete with scenes from the movie on Jumbo screen.
Bon Jovi ‘Living on a Prayer’ always gets crowd into singing. And I’d love ‘Brown Eyed Girl’/van Morrison.
something that resonates with the under 30 crowd would be great.

Mine would be Carolina in The Pine which the BOD plays during pregame. Brings a tear to this old Mountaineer's eye each time I hear it.

Maybe the band can play Tennessee Waltz while the North Carolina Electric Membership Cooperatives show University of Tennessee football crowds in their ad.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Here is a non AARP list.
Jump around -- House of Pain
Remember the Name -- Fort Minor
Promontory -- Last of the Mohicans
Zac Brown -- Chicken Fried
Ain't no Mountain High Enough -- Marvin Gaye
For Whom the Bell Tolls -- Metallica
No Diggity -- Blackstreet
Sound of Freedom -- Braveheart
This is how we do it -- Montell Jordan
Ice Ice Baby -- Vanilla Ice
Sabotage -- Beasty Boys
You Can't Touch This -- MC Hammer
Walk This Way -- Run DMC/Aerosmith
That is a fairly clean list. I realize choices have to be somewhat clean. An uncensored hype list would certainly be different.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
I mentioned Red Hot Chilli Peppers on this board 3 years ago and they played it two games in a row....haven't heard it since. The approximate 50 crowd didn't move on campus without hearing the Chilli Peppers. Basically any Alternative Rock with an upbeat beat would be acceptable to this old man. But, as someone mentioned above, as long as the students are having fun I don't care what we play. It is their time...I wish we would poll them and play at least half of whatever they want to hear. I do hate copying other stadiums but you have to admit the Rock was lit Wednesday night. Students were on.
P.S. With 420 being a close number to 421 that leads to the rock and with the "High" country you know, being the "High" country. I vote for Zephyr from the "RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS"
P.S.S. I have always thought hwy 421 should change to hwy 420 when it crosses the top of the mountain and it heads down to Boone.

Re: Favorite song played in stadium
Being born and bred on bluegrass (Iredell County) I like anything Billy Strings, Del McCoury, etc. Maybe the university ought to get a hold of Balsam Range or some NC mountain band and employ them to write a mountain song specifically for ASU that you could resonate with / sing along / upbeat.
