Yeah it wasn't Eye of the Tiger or anything, it was the fanfare. It was awesome.
Iv heard it and it is super cringey mate. Its like a boxer coming out to eye of the tiger
It used to be just the first 50 seconds any way, not the famous hook.Iv heard it and it is super cringey mate. Its like a boxer coming out to eye of the tiger
Well that's your opinion, but if you grew up with it and witnessed so many great nights with the players coming out to that, it certainly doesn't come across as cringey. Gets the fans and players up for a battle. Each to their own I guess.Iv heard it and it is super cringey mate. Its like a boxer coming out to eye of the tiger
I'm ok with Rocky, majestic feel.
Or this (which Klitschko used)

Go for the Goal!
I heard Mike Tysons entrance music was just one note. Now that’s intimidating. Don’t know if it suits Man United though.
You have to look at the players though . Im sure most of them have never seen Rocky so its unlikely to motivate them to any great degree by coming out to it every game.
I think nothing is worse than stuff like the rocky anthem or the Chicago Bulls intro. We're talking about clubs with thousands to millions of fans, a hundred years of history, hundreds of millions of revenue, you're trying to create/sell an original and authentic atmosphere and the best you can come up with is a song you share with about 500 other clubs, the first song that would come to a random 14 year old's mind. It's like playing Seven Nation Army after goals.
I prefer clubs who use some actual club anthem, however cheesy they usually are, at least they are actually authentic.

play this on repeat
I agree with this.
Fanfare For Rocky ringing out inside Old Trafford, as the players emerged from the tunnel, really was awesome!
Nah, it was fecking brilliant.
Rip and Tear is better
“I gotta make it (top 4) or make it(Europa League Champs), man these are the options”
Apparently Neville asked for this is the one to be played in early 2000s but it wasn’t the walk out song until years later, perhaps LVGs first season. Personally i think it’s Alan Keegan the stadium announcer. He’s no idea about what the match day fan wants. He’s more what the day trippers want. There’s no build up anymore to the players coming out. That song is flat and in the ten minutes before there is nothing to get the crown going. The Rocky fanfare, when you were playing Liverpool or in Europe against Barca or Juve was just epic. It captured the mood and magnified it.
Whoever made that decision, no doubt the tool of a stadium announcer, needs shooting.
It’s not as bad as the time we played Liverpool in the europa league and he tried to do a countdown from 10 to 0 for the players coming in, in front of the Stretford end. He got met with bemusement then ‘what the fkn hell was that’
He never tried it again. Tool.

When I was younger I would always blast The Stooges “I Wanna Be Your Dog” before my basketball games. Always got me going.
I prefer the rocky theme it always sounded regal and exciting.

I had no idea people actually liked the Rocky fanfare. I always found it cheesy. As if it weren't an actual sporting event but a Hollywood depiction of one.
Why not "Let it go"? Would fulfill Woodward's dream of the "Adult Disneyland".
But for my taste, I prefer "Sun and stars" of Really Slow Motion. You guys can search for it on Youtube.

I put this on yesterday as I was missing going to the matches. Was almost like being there!
I'm into even the minuscule things having strong good effects.
Surely we should consider the change of time, modernity and how the entrance music can affect majority of our players.
Does the rocky song or whatever being used right now have any good motivating effects to most of 'em? Doubt it but who knows.
Two things to consider

Two things to consider
- Effects on players/team morale
- Reflect our club's ideas
Loved the Rocky fanfare back in the day as i used to go pretty regularly, but i don't see it coming back.
This is the one is a good song but it really is as flat as a pancake for an entrance song.
We need something new.

This is the one is good but if they want to change it dance music would be good to up the crowd. My local team Torquay United plays Robert Miles- Children which is great
Must admit, I do miss the Rocky fanfare. While I like the Stone Roses track, it doesn't generate the same buzz in the stadium, if anything it makes it feel more like we're at a picnic in the park.
Didn't the club survey fans about this a few years ago? I seem to remember filling out a questionnaire that asked about entrance music, as well as half time and full time music too. Not sure what the results of that were?
Anyhow, I often hear film music and think 'wow, that would be awesome as the players emerge from the tunnel.' Especially some of the Hans Zimmer scores:
'Why Do We Fall' is just poetic after the recent barren years.
'Imagine The Fire' is so menacing from 2:42 or 4:00. Properly devilish.
'Mombasa' blasting out at a packed OT would be something else.
Then again, we are United, why use an existing track? Ed should get Mr Zimmer to compose a United theme tune.

The pyro, the lot.
Interesting!
You are right about thr fanfare and I remember it fondly from European nights especially.
I love The Roses. Genuinely their music always smashes it for me...
I love This Is The One, but as intros go nothing quite does it for me like Love Spreads. That guitar at the beginning is filthy, and when it gets going with the bass and drums it's fecking epic.
Showing some eclectic taste....or age
something about O Fortuna makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...but a little much for Burnley at home...

Do they still play this before the game? I haven't made it to a game in a while, but I remember loving this growing up.
You can't mess with this is the one.
If it doesn't get you ready then fecking Rocky won't either. Planks.

Couldn't agree more. There's a team, maybe spurs?, that comes out to Duel of the Fates that I'm always envious of when i hear it. Then i remember it's spurs and move on.Must admit, I do miss the Rocky fanfare.

It's great the club uses the Stones but it doesn't get the adrenaline pumping. They should use that as the penultimate track and then play something more epic as the teams come out.
It wasn’t cheesy at all, it was awesome! It used to get every single fan pumped up. The Stone Roses song is a terrible choice.
This is the one is boring, watching some YouTube videos nobody even pays attention with this is the one, however, the Rocky Fanfare cut through the crowd and made everyone pay attention.
If we want to go in a different direction we want a chorus the crows can get behind. Not sure what song though.
however, if we want something Iconic booming around the stadium how about this,
And it would be good to hear this around OT again !

It’s nothing to do with watching rocky or knowing the film and how he comes back and beats the harder fighters haha.it’s just the music itself and it’s intimidating, lifting feeling.
You do know it wasn’t eye of the tiger?
I just threw this together, Original video not mine, so credit to whoever took it, I added the music to it to get a feeling of how it would sound.
Heard City are changing to this:
It's all the same, some generic hype song that might as well be part of a parody.
I liked the Rocky music. I don't like this is the one too much but it's Manchester init.
When did you start following us? We came out to a Rocky instrumental for years.
Absolutely. I don't know when a lot of these posters started following the club because anyone saying it would be "cringey" clearly never saw it. Wasn't that long ago either.
Let De Gea pick it as he might pick some metal music, plus it might spur him on
