all in seriouesness, i think the perfect songs would be…
Rhapsody : Steelgods Of the last apocolypse
Guilty Gear XX : Awe Of She
Street Fighter 2 Turbo : Kens Theme
Marvel Vs Capcom : Captain America , Wolverine , Strider , Or Ryus theme
( this last one will be really great for Evos final fights ,that is, if you REALLY pay attention to the lyrics of the song )
Dragonland : A Thousand Points Of Light.
Remember, THIS IS ZION!!! AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!!!..:o oops…wrong thread hehe ANYWHO
Remember, THIS IS EVO! and these are gonna be dramatic times for dramatic battles, so lets have the best damn dramatic music we can have and get people pumpin for the fights to come.
Bomfunk MC’s - Freestyler (Hella cool intro and good hype)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - The Greeting Song
Incubus - Idiot Box
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
Also, AnalogX has a voice remover, which attempts to remove vocals from a track. This isnt 100% perfect, but works wonders in a good amount of cases. You can get the plugin from http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/vremover.htm
Here is the best of the best from my playlist. Some of these are going to be repeated from above so bear with me…
Cold - Remedy
Rage against the Machine - Calm like a bomb, Bulls on Parade, Guerrila Radio
AC-DC - Highway to Hell (would be good for a promo vid for a hyped up match)
Adema - The Way You Like It
Audioslave - Cochise
Blur - Song 2
Gavin Rossdale (Bush) - Adrenaline
Bush - Machinehead
Crystal Method - Name of the Game
Cypress Hill - Rock Superstar
Drowning Pool - Bodies
Faith No More - Epic
Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot (and the various remixes as well)
Filter and Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do
Final Fantasy X - Otherworld (yes weird but its like metal)
Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark
Saliva - King of my World
Marylin Manson - Mobscene (his new stuff and its absolutely awesome)
Monster Magnet - Live for the Moment, or Space Lord
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Offspring - Keep them separated
Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide, or Bombshell
Prodigy - Firestarter
A LOT of the Quake 2 soundtrack tracks are pretty hot
Reveille - Inside out (can you feel me now remix) - This song is absolutely AWESOME and I would probably use it for my personal theme if I didn’t already have the top-haters gimmick going for me
Saliva - Click Click Boom, Superstar
Smashing Pumpkins - The Everlasting Gaze, Zero, Ava Adore
Staind - Mudshovel
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger. There are several hip-hop songs that also use the tune of this song that are decent as well.
The Cult - Rise
Motorhead - The Game (HHH’s theme right now)
OR from the WWE Anthology album, The Game (Triple H) which is a remixed version of his older theme with hip-hop type lyrics, it’s really hot
N.R.G. - Instruments of Destruction (too classic)
TRUSTcompany - downfall
Union Underground - across the nation (the current WWE RAW theme)
White Zombie - More human than human and/or its remixed edition. You can really work with this theme to make a hot song.
…And now, the #1 best goddamn theme that will ever be played at any major EVER…
…the Official Top-Haters themesong, Ra - Do You Call My Name, DSP edit. If you saw the DEVO joke video on Top-Haters.com, you’ve heard this edit before and you’ve seen the promo video work I can do, and you see the potential for music video intros (just like WWE son).
E-Ville - Sonic Anamation (Great techno track… for Magneto players. “What are you afraid of? Is it me? Should be 'cuz I can fuck with your head!”)
Renegades of Funk - Rage against the Machine (“No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop us now”)
Good Shit for Build-up/Release:
Get up, Get Wild (Secret Song) - Lords of Acid
Scrood Bi U - Lords of Acid
Sleep Now in the Fire - Rage Against the Machine
If You Still Hate Me - Ill Nino
My Personal Recommendation: Anything from Licensed to Ill by the Beasties.
Sup everyone. Awesome work so far. A lot of the suggestions are FANTASTIC… and you’ll defnitely hear them at EVO.
As a note, when suggesting songs, keep buildup/break in mind. A few people are suggesting great songs that are just no good for straight up intros (but still great songs in their own right). We wanna pump these players up!!! It’s all about the energy.
Another note… if you need more examples… Punish3r’s list is pretty solid. For the most part, rock is dominating the list of intro songs… but there are a few solid Hip Hop jams as well… like Mama Said Knock You Out, Ante Up etc. Check those for inspiration.
Cypress Hill - Dr. Greenthumb
Gangstarr - Above the Clouds
GnR - Welcome to the Jungle
Gangstarr - Battle
Bone and Big - Notorious Thugs
Bone and Pac - Thug Luv
Makaveli - Hail Mary
DMX - Bring Your Whole Crew (its just a bigger piece of cake for me to chew a HOLE THROUGH!)
Move - Around the World (intro to Initial D first season [or is it second?])
Tsuneo Imahori - Tumbling Dice (intro to the last season of Hajime No Ippo)
I have all these songs, but Efnet has a nasty habit of booting me off every 30 seconds, so if you have trouble finding them, just hit me up on AIM - sn: soakrates

Ojos Asi - Shakira
Get awe of she from the ggx hardrock soundtrack, do not get the xx version, for that has no buildup, whereas x’s has a nice into, about 30 seconds long, which just means i have to take my time when coming out.
Other than that i would suggest chrono’s theme from chrono trigger.
