Best bar brawling music?

[HEyHEY]

Haven't done this thread in a while.

I'd say Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" or my old standby "rip this joint" by the rolling stones.

Yours?

1. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet (I think)

[maveric]

2. "Ballroom Blitz", By The Sweet.

Whenever the jukebox at The Horsesoe Bar, Lawrence MA played that tune, pool cues would swing and ashtrays would fly.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Jinx!

[Deja Q]

4. 'Bad to the Bone'. Mind you, it's also Al Bundy's theme song...

:yoiks:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Agree on "Rip This Joint."

[MonkeyFunk]

6. "It's Raining Men"

there was a lot of sissy-slapping.

Ah... good times.

[Swede]

7. Saturday night's all right for fighting.

Every second country&western song out there.

[Left Is Write]

8. Gimme Three Steps and Call Me The Breeze

The first because of its obvious lyrics and the second because it just sounds "right" to be the soundtrack to a bar brawl.

[Drum]

9. Duelling Banjos

or definitely something bluegrass.

:shrug:

on edit: I agree, re: Gimme Three Steps!

[Left Is Write]

10. And a couple of drinking songs that might be all right for brawling...

Have A Drink On Me and Cold Gin.

[NNadir]

11. Back in the 1970's, a bar where I was drinking was almost destroyed

when they put on Bob Dylan's "Everybody Must Get Stoned" on the Jukebox.

I was spring break in Daytona Beach, Florida.

It wasn't brawling, but everybody began singing and stomping whenever Dylan sang the title words. The stomping literally caused the building to shake. The bartender, who no doubt was the only sober person, yanked the power chord of the jukebox out of the wall, thus preventing tragedy.

12. imho = Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue...

[Little Wing]

13. George Thorogood - If you don't start drinkin'

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Loggins and Messina, "Danny's Song"

[asthmaticeog]

15. The Tragically Hip's acoustic stuff always makes me feel like administering beatdowns.

[bridgit]

16. or, OR...Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien...

[Initech]

17. Dropkick Murphys - "Barroom Hero"

[bridgit]

18. *or*, Rammstein - Rammstein (Live Aus Berlin)...

[ghostsofgiants]

19. "Ace Of Spades" is a good one.

"I Love Livin' In The City" or "I Don't Care About You" by Fear would be good, I think.

[JackBeck]

51. Ace of Spades is in the top 3.

48. their shows are out of control

damn i had a good time

[Forkboy]

49. The first time I saw them the singer walked onstage and threw a bottle at the crowd.

Not to mention He Who Can't Be Named waving his shlong around all night!

Damn crazy kids and their rock music! :)

[fizzgig]

50. my friend's band played a show with them last month

blag got punched in the face several times during that show

[JackBeck]

21. As a former bartender,

this thread brings back memories.

And yes, it was a gay bar. The worst was a broken bottle, stab-in-the-face altercation.

And I think Ballroom Blitz was playing.

[bridgit]

22. i've tended bar too and seen fights break out over allot less than these entries...

*shakeshead*

[JackBeck]

42. You wanna shake a head moment?

I broke up a fight at a MADONNA concert a few years ago. Total agro frat boy beating on a tiny skinny gay boy.

I left shaking my head muttering, "But this is a Madonna concert. How did this happen?"

[Little Wing]

24. That's just sad

There's nothing that goes down in a bar that's worth disfigurement.

[JackBeck]

43. Boyfriend fight.

Domestic violence is tragically underreported in our community because of the embarrassment factor.

[Little Wing]

46. boyfriend girlfriend either way it's sad

[JackBeck]

47. Very true.

I'm not a violent person. But when I bartended I feigned the puffy chest (little ol' me) to diffuse many of a situation.

[Rockit]

23. The Bitch is Back by Elton John

Or at least that the sound track to my brawl.
O8)

[jane_pippin]

25. I always liked Blondie's "Rip her to Shreds"

as a drunk 19 year old.


I'm glad I'm older now.

[LostInAnomie]

26. Metallica - Master of Puppets

Man, bar room brawls are scary. I was in one once. I didn't start it but I just happened to be in there. My advice, if you are ever in one just start backing towards the door and keep your fists up for anyone that comes at you. That's the only way you walk out of one in one piece.

[datasuspect]

27. sympathy for the devil

or the ten commandments of love

[styersc]

28. Pachabel's Canon in D

Like strings don't get you all wild out!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. I was thinking "Spring" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"

I've never seen it not inspire instant hatred, anger, and that human addiction to violence from millions of years ago that is still instinctively tied into our brain stem.

[styersc]

34. Vivaldi over Pachabel...

I oughta kick your ass!!!!!!!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. You stupid sonofabitch - that's fighting words!

What're ya, from West Virginia or Kentucky or one o' cultureless southern states? fucking scum!! (breaks top off glass on edge of bar, pokes it at you) - come on, fucker pussy gay shitbag - lemme learn ya somethin' 'bout Vivaldi!

[styersc]

37. Vivaldi?!?!?! I thought you said Bo Didley.

Never mind.

[GOPisEvil]

29. "Hair Of The Dog" by Nazareth

[HughBeaumont]

30. "Outmotherfucker the Man" or "New Hampshire's Alright if You Like Fighting" by Scissorfight.

The joke is, I'm not kidding. Those are real song titles, Scissorfight is a real band, and here's a photo of them:

[rocktivity]

31. Pantera's "Walk"

beats out Steve Vai's "The Audience Is Listening" by a nose.

:headbang:
rocknation

[ghostsofgiants]

38. As far far as Pantera goes, it's all about "Cowboys From Hell."

[rocktivity]

41. I picked Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power as the bet album of that year

because it was "the album Metallica THOUGHT they made."

:headbang:
rocknation

[mitchum]

32. "Saturday Night Special" Lynyrd Skynyrd

"Ace of Spades" is a good choice, though...

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. Penderecki's "Polnisches Requiem" or his "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima"

[bridgit]

39. sure, Stravinsky's 'Petrouchka'...

:thumbsup:

[Richard Steele]

40. Wow- "Ace of Spades" was my first thought as well. nm

[WCGreen]

44. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet....

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. 'Benny the Bouncer'

Emerson, Lake and Palmer.



Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Dance
'E'd slash your granny's face up given 'alf a chance
'E'd sell you back the pieces, all for less than 'alf a quid
'E thought he was the meanest until he met wi' Savage Sid

Now, Sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots
'E poured a pint of Guinness over Benny's boots
Benny looked at Sidney; Sidney stared right back in 'is eye
Sidney chose a switchblade and Benny got a cold meat pie

Oh, what a terrible sight!
Much to the people's delight
One 'ell of a fight!

Sidney grabbed an 'atchet, buried it in Benny's 'ead
The people gasped as 'e bled:
The end of a ted?

Well, they dragged 'im from the wreckage of the Palais in bits
They tried to stick together all the bits that would fit
But some of 'im was missing, and part of 'im arrived too late
So now he works for Jesus as the bouncer at St. Peter's gate



(You've really got to hear it. InCREDible honky-tonk piano.)

[Fenris]

52. Dan Fogelberg, "Longer Than"

[Strawman]

53. Yep. The bar splits into hostile Fogelberg and Dan Hill camps

whenever that or Sometimes When We Touch plays.

And if someone dials up Key Largo by Bertie Higgins...ohhh shit. it is on!

[taterguy]

54. The Replacements Here Comes A Regular
