I never liked it but I never liked the band that much either, I always thought its tone was weird for a hockey game.

 

[Havre]

I guess I disagree. Don't like the song and even if I did like it has the wrong "beat" for a hockey game.

DJ Dave ... is that you ?

I was at that game, and the feeling was electric, but it's time to move on.

---

Listening to the music at the preseason game last Friday --- it was 1000X better than the rubbish heard previously. More modern, drastic, and better pump up music for sure.

This intro became a part of the Canucks experience, and nothing they have had since has come close to matching it.

 

[BigBadBread]

The horn is the best part. Gave me chills watching it live.

 

[tonto35]

Don't like the band either. But

Still the best intro in sports and shouldn't have messed with it.
Especially with the horn whaling!

 

[tonto35]

Yah

The horn is the best part. Gave me chills watching it live.

When the bass from the horn gives yah chillz
Since it got changed fans aren't even in the game anymore. All quiet and sit like a prince george concert

 

[Nucker101]

Agreed. And damn do I miss the playoffs

 

[Timmer44]

They should go with this:

This really isn't even close to best of anything. It's exciting because it's game 7 of a series we almost lost.

Think about it; a horn and a U2 song and some flashing lights. Albeit a nice, hopeful U2 song.

 

[Barney Gumble]

Just put on some entertaining hockey (doesn't necessarily has to be wins but obviously that helps) and I really wouldn't care what the intro was to be honest.

 

[carolinacanuck]

it may not be the best intro in hockey but it's the best intro the canucks have ever had.

but in typical canucks fashion, they toyed around and effed it up.

 

[Zombotron]

'Where the Streets Have No Name' is playoffs only. Want to hear it? Then hope they make the playoffs. That's the entire draw of that song. Why would they put out their full pregame spectacle for a Sunday game versus the Carolina Hurricanes?

I mean, DJ Dave had put on Streets in the regular season, but only in a remixed danceable form. And if you're gonna put on Streets in the regular season, it had best be that way. Tantalize us with a preview of things to come. Save the best for later.

 

[Bure All Day]

I like it, but I'd like some AC/DC even more

 

[Ozone]

Perfectly said. It sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

I get so tired of hearing people wanting to change it for their 'shiny new toy'...

Why change sometime that works?

 

[CherryToke]

bring it back when we have a good team again.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

I've accepted that the intro will always be lackluster. I am not sure what it is with this franchise, but U2 is not worthy of hockey pump up music.

I remember the Ducks used to come out to Reign in Blood by Slayer and they won the cup that year.

TIL that hockey + metal = Stanley Cup

 

[tonto35]

no lyricz

instrumental..
and if you say that intro with the horn goin wouldn't get you pumped then you're a liar. you can see it in the players and the fans. play different music during the game tho!

When I saw this thread title I just assumed it was for Thunderstruck. Who DIDN'T skate out to Thunderstruck in peewee/bantam/midget?

[Stormblessed]

Mortal Kombat always got me the most jacked when I was playing

 

[tonto35]

anyway

nice meeting you peeps.. this is pretty much the last push for some of the older guys. now or never!

 

[Goon42]

this just made me sad at how far we have fallen

No.

THIS was the best intro in all of sports:



This song alone had teams beat before MJ even got on the court.
