Clemson Anthem -- hear me out
Jul 12, 2022, 12:44 AM
|

Maybe it's getting late, but I'm watching video of Va Tech jamming old Metallica, not even a song I ever loved, but it fits, and the crowd is jacked.

Like Bama fans ratcheting up to stuff the opponent's Offense to AC DC's Hell's Bell's, Enter Sandman just starts the show off right. Yes. It rocks. Not opposed to some hard rock or rock n'soul. But it's gotta rock! It's gotta pump the crowd. It's gotta be something the song's writer/artist is behind.
I figure Neff and administration have enough on their plate right now, but what are your thoughts Tiger Nation? I just believe sometimes Tiger Rag could use a little more juice and horsepower. Not go away or diminished ... just be supplemented by a rocker we can also make our own!
Some rockers are great that could just not be embraced due to language ... some for other reasons. I think we can rule out Clapton/Cocaine. 1st thought was U2/It's a Beautiful Day. But then I thought we need a lead-in/build-up like Enter Sandman or Hell's Bell's. So I'm thinking The Who/Eminence Front works well. Work in progress. Any thoughts? Recommendations? Yes/Roundabouts? Drop me a line Neff. I'll be happy to touch base with Townshend.

I’ve always enjoyed 81,500 singing “we will, we will ROCK YOU!” in unison at big night games. Electric when the music cuts. First time I remember it was vs FSU when McDaniel ROCKED Christian Ponder on the INT return. 2009 if I’m not mistaken

During a pregame conversation- I will take 100% credit for asking Jon Seketa to play that song, on that night in that exact situation- should it occur during the game. But did he mention me the following morning on the Dan Patrick show? - No!

I always wanted the Tiger to be called "CLEM" And the Tiger cub to be called "CLEM'S SON".

two farmers. The dad, who was wearing orange overalls, and a straw hat that said "Clem". The kid, who could be the Tiger Cub, was a goofy lookin' Alfred E. Neumann type dood, wearing a ball cap that said "Clem's son."
I know, it was supposed to be derogatory towards my Tigers, but when something is funny, it is funny.

I think AC/DC Thunderstruck is a good candidate.
And the Tiger is just fine as is.

I would like to have something more upbeat along with the traditional songs. I think Va Tech’s is great. Too bad their team isn’t what it used to be. And I love eminence front also. I’ve heard it on TV football broadcasts before as a lead in from commercials. “Who are you”by The Who could be good. It’s not one of my faves but would be a good phrase directed at the opposing team. Roundabout is also a song that I’ve always liked.

If we used Thunderstruck, I would play it right after running down the hill to Tiger Rag and right up to kickoff.

Agreed, we do need an anthem.
Roundabout by Yes. It has the keywords "valley" and "lake."

And it's something the band can play (like Vader's March or O Fortuna or phantom of the opera).
Give it a listen and then imagine the drum line and tubas/trombones blaring it...

Great song. Some great lines in there, too.
"Boom! Here comes the Boom! Here comes the boys from the South!"
"Is that all you got? Come on... I'll take your best shot!"

Great sing-a-long part at the beginning. Classic Led Zeppelin sound.

Yep. Can you imagine the crowd at Death Valley chanting “Thunda” at the beginning? That would be awesome!! Even if they just played the intro up to kickoff after running down the hill to Tiger Rag.

Eddie van Halen's kid. Great sound - incredible musician. Played all the instruments himself on the entire album, kinda like Dave Grohl on the 1st Foo Fighters album. Fun video, too!

Clemson has the most exciting entrance in college football. They don't need to try too hard like VT and the Coots with piped in music.

Ok, I heard you.
Dabo said a very long time ago his aim was not to be like other schools. Dabo said be the school others wanted to be like. I like that sentiment.
We do not need a live Tiger.
We do not need to erect statues around the stadium.
We do not need to have a black out.
We do not need to have a white out.
We do not need to stop the fans from going on the field after the game.
We do not need a goofy band like Virginia who stole the idea from Stanford.
We do not need new, radical, odd, strange or awful looking different uniform EVER.
We do not need a Clemson Anthem.
Finally we should NEVER copy anything at all from Virginia Tech. Beamer was the best coach VT ever had
and he left Virginia Tech with a losing record to Clemson.
If the crowd needs music to get amped up for a ball game, the crowd is a bad one.If we do play music to wake the crowd up, WE WILL ROCK YOU would do nicely for big games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tJYN-eG1zk&ab_channel=QueenOfficial
Eye of the Tigers is also pretty good for most games.

I love the song by Three Doors Down called Kryptonite. I think if it were rewritten with a slightly different spin, and with the words Tiger Stripes instead of Kryptonite that could possibly work. All I know is that when that song comes on the radio in my car I have to resist the urge to press down on the gas pedal more. It just gives me a surge of adrenaline.
