There was a pretty cool show on NFL network that talked about how the Steelers started playing Renegade by Styx at the games to get the crowd and the fans fired up and it sounds like its working pretty good.

The song gets me pumped up and it seems to be adding a little fuel to the fire of the players on the field.

Cowboy stadium needs something like this, do they still play that lame "Da-da-da-dum" after plays?

Here's an article and a video that describes it better than I did, I couldn't find the video that was done by NFL films.

They play AC/DC, what more can they do?:D

I guess they could start fire to the place and watch it burn while AC/DC blasts through the flames.

I can't help it, I do. Watch that NFL films show and if you can set aside its the damn Steelers, I bet you get pumped up too.

I would have to concur. Give me Zombie Stomp, Slave to the Grind, Cowboys from Hell maybe.


No offense Yimyammer. To each his own.

I suggested this back in August when we were discussing stadium music as our team's intro. Just sayin... go back and look it up if anyone wants to.

None taken, I don't want to copy their song, just the vibe and excitement it appears to bring to the fans and players.

I think most of us would agree that the fans at Cowboy Stadium need a little help in this department

This isn't the same vibe you get when it's played at the Steeler games, if you're able to watch the NFL films show about it, you'll see what I mean (I think)

Here is what it looks like in the stadium. I saw the same show, Tomlin said they played it before Romo threw the interception that got ran back for a TD last year.

Heck, I'm sure some of the members here could put together a great video for the defense to get jacked up for. I'm sure we have that great of talent here.

they should use local music but there's no chance they ever would.

that said, they should play BODIES by drowning pool when the cowboys come out.

I would have the first 1:15 on a continuous loop. Still gives me chills.
