Sabres Holding a Vote for the New Goal Song - DJ Kool Wins

[Beerz]

Let's see...the song doesn't scream "HOCKEY!" to me and it was overplayed decades ago. That's just two of the reasons that come to mind right now.

I'd have been happy with, say, Fall Out Boy's The Phoenix...AC/DC's Thunderstruck...and, as previously mentioned, the instrumental parts of SOB(ESPECIALLY the hand-clapping part...imagine the wonders editing would do to that one!).

Songs scream hockey?

Just say it...you don't like rap/hip hop. It's fine ..I'm not really a fan of rap or hip hoop either but the song is fun and I think it fits pretty well.

You think this song was overplayed decades ago but then mention "Thunderstruck"? ... c'mon man.

Hey I love that style of music but not exactly the kind of music that gets the crowd in a hockey game jumping. Actually it screams hockey even less but of course you feel differently I think the song is hilarious I only hope the sabres never score more then 5 or 6 goals in a game. Not sure I could listen to it that many times.

I'm a music snob and I'm fine with the song.

I'm a crabby old man and I liked it. All my kids even like it

Now get off my lawn

 

[Sabre Dance]

Wasn't terrible. But I was already annoyed by it after Kane's no goal.

Those songs somehow scream hockey?

LMCMT is awesome.

 

[Clock]

It's fine. At least it's not the Goo Goo Dolls.

Same here. It's obnoxiousness only adds to its awesomeness. I love it because (hopefully) visiting teams will learn to hate it.

 

[couture23]

Or Blur - Song 2.

shudders

I have to admit, I was the biggest skeptic of LMCMT turning out as a decent goal song, but it was edited extremely well. And in the context of the game, it sounds superb, so kudos to the Sabre staff. It really gets the crowd into it -- Which I expected since the song is so damn hype.

I've watched the Eichel goal video dozens of times already, and not once has it failed to get my blood pumping.

I was surprised at how much I actually liked it. The editing was superb and while it does not seem like the typical hockey goal song, it really works. And it's awesome.

Beerz: there is some rap/hip hop I like. That song does NOT make the list. And it NEVER will.

Personally, I don't care if I'm the only one here who can't stand the song. It's never stopped me from being a contrarian.

If you want obnoxious, fire up Brass Bonanza and see how fast the opponents get ticked...especially if the Sabres score a few goals. (And, no, the Hartford Wolf Pack won't come screaming at Buffalo to stop using the goal song...because THEY don't use it anymore.)

I think it's awful too. Obnoxious in the worst way.

Its your right. Not everyone is going to be happy with it.

 

[Sam Spade]

Hey just came to say that the song was perfect. It was also perfect that Eichel was the player to kick it off for the first time.

I've watched the Eichel goal video dozens of times already, and not once has it failed to get my blood pumping.

Me too.

p.s. I'm not really a Sabres fan but I voted about 40 times for DJ Kool.

 

[ckg927]

Duly noted. And I'll say it right now: I suspect(but cannot prove)more people are on my side on this matter. They just won't come out and say it. But, to paraphrase someone well known, I have the guts to say things that no one else has the guts to say.

It takes guts to say you don't like a goal song?

 

[Zman5778]

Seems the general consensus is that it is ****ing awesome

https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/3o3zgo/let_me_clear_my_throat_is_easily_my_favorite_goal/

Sportsnet loves it.
Puck Daddy loves it.
Most other fans love it.

Really, the only people that seem to NOT like the song are a subset of Sabres fans.

More like it takes guts to go against conventional wisdom. Which seems to be the prevailing opinion around here and other sites. (As I said earlier, I don't care if I'm in the minority of detesting the song.) Unless those who support it are of the "it's so bad it's good!" school, in which case I say...well played, sir. Well played.

I echo these. When the brackets first came out, my first thought was "Any song BUT Let Me Clear My Throat....please".

I had resigned myself to that being the choice when the finals came out and braced myself to hate it.

But then I heard it.....and I love it. It's ours.

 

[Afino]

I guarantee it'll get old by March though

I think it'll be MUCH earlier than that, regardless of how many goals the Sabres score at FNC.

There's another one

 

[SackTastic]

It's different. It's a well done edit. It ends in a great way that keeps the crowd going at the end, which is something we've complained about for years.

All the rage is silly.
