Calamity Jane Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 OK I realized the other day that there are certain tunes that I absolutely can't workout without. I get up at 4 am in the morning 3 times a week and without these artist I would be lost. 1. Van Halen: I know it's David Lee Roth singing about his penis but I can't stop myself from listening. My Mother, if she were still alive would make me erase it from my IPOD. There is something about their rock in roll that connects with me. It's truly a mystery to me why?? I now know why all the guys I went to high school with listened to Van Halen. 2. Lynyrd Skynyrd: I love them and when I'm having a real difficult time getting going in the morning I tune into them. I made my 14 year old learn Sweet Home Alabama on his guitar. 3. The Allman Brothers: Tie me to the whipping post...sweet melissa...jessica..Ramblin'Man...love them all. 4. Carrie Underwood: I know she is new, but I love her stuff. There is a soul and attitude to her that I connect with. Other stuff on my IPOD: Jimi Hendrex, John Fogerty, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Todd Rundgren, Third Day, Billy Currington, Shania Twain. Thank God for music!! I CAN NOT workout without it!!! What's your favorite?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so old. I think I've missed out on the last 20 years of music. Can I listen to a sampling of your music at the Indiana State Match? First three are new metal-ish bands w/ femail vocalists, Evanescence being the most pop of them. The others are various types of heavy, w/ Linkin Park probably being the lightest/poppiest I have a lot of the same Classic Rock that you do, Jane... add in some Edgar Winter, Beatles, Floyd, etc... But my work out stuff is a little more brutal than even Matt's... Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Damageplan, Corrosion of Conformity, Black Label Society, Down, Pantera, Metallica...

dajarrel Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 One of the guys at the gym asked me what I was listening to the other day. I told him, quite truthfully, that I didn't know. I pick my music for the tempo. It doesn't matter if it is anything from pop to heavy metal, country to contemporary christian, rave to classical, I like it all. It's the beat I'm looking for when I exercise. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 My workout music has to have some edge, especially when I lift. What I listen to when I'm on a step mill has to have a groove, but edgy. There is NOTHING worse than going from Maiden to Sarah McLaughlin (sp? and YES she is on my iPod and I'm not remotely embarrassed - the woman can sing to me anytime) when you're hoisting 75 lb dumbbells over your face. Here's what I have and do listen to when working out: Hell & Consequences - Stone Sour Chavelle - Well Enough Alone The Grudge - Tool (if The Scream doesn't raise your HR, nothing will) Redneck - Lamb of God Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden (good beat to step to) Left Behind - Slipknot Metalingus - Alter Bridge Hole in the Earth - Deftones Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers Fully Alive - Flyleaf You Can't Bring Me Down - Suicidal Tendencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Slayer,Anthrax (old school), Rage against the machine, Carcass and Kreator in my ipod when working out...i used to listen to heavier stuff like Impetigo,Massacre and much more but im getting old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 You certainly may Thanks Matt! Looking forward to seeing you. Hope I get to see you shoot some. You all (meaning those who have posted) have me curious with all these bands I don't know. I think I'm going to need the assistance of my 14 year old to help me down load some of this stuff.

Jake Di Vita Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Depends on the workout. If it is a 2 hour bike ride, I'll listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mishka, some Saliva, and a few others with the power song being Dani California. Mainly stuff built for the long haul. If I'm doing a circuit where intensity is key I'll go into a lot harder stuff...some Metallica, Three Days Grace, Sevendust, a little Static X, maybe some Korn, and a few others with the power song being Pain. You need music that motivates you, but it has to motivate you in the right way for what you are doing. If I was planning on riding for 2 hours and listened to Black from Sevendust, I'd be dead after the first 20 minutes. Best advice I can give is the tempo of the music has to match the tempo of the activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinkroe Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) For workouts: All Metal all the time. Many that have been mentioned before and some that have not. Alter Bridge, Audioslave, BLS, Black Sabbath, Boysetsfire, Chevelle, Damageplan, Disturbed, Drop Dead (,) GorgeousFilter, Kilswitch Engage, Marilyn Manson, Megadeath, Metallica, Motorhead, NIN, Ozzy, Pantera, Queens of the Stoneage, Rob Zombie, Shinedown, Slayer, Velvet Revolver, White Zombie, Wolfmother, Zakk Wylde. I agree with Jake that the music has to match the work out. Almost all of my workouts are cardio or weights, that I fell the need to be pumped for, I use heavy music. I will take it one step farther. I take my ipod to matches and listen to music before stages (in the muffs and only during prep, wilst not pasting etc.) For long (accuracy) stages I use: Jazz, Blues, or other slow music such as Nora Jones. For medium stages I use: Emo, Indie, Classic Rock, Pop, Folk, or Alternitive. For hoser and or feild stages I use: Metal, Hard Rock, Rap, Punk, or Grunge. Sorry Matt, some of your music is Pop-Metal. I am now concerned about Merlin. I mean, classic polka as workout music? Edited June 7, 2007 by austinkroe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 If I was planning on riding for 2 hours and listened to Black from Sevendust, I'd be dead after the first 20 minutes. Especially if you're listening to a live version, which is about 20% up-tempo... And then if you account for the added live intensity that Morgan tosses in there on that particular tune... Did I mention I know Morgan, and heard all the tunes on that album live in Atlanta long before their record deal??? Neat stuff... He's a wicked drummer... Most of that album is on my PsycheUp playlist, actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 That's awesome Dave. I haven't been to many concerts, but I'd love to see sevendust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'd love to see sevendust. Definitely worth checking out. They're one of the few bands out there that can pull off live what they put on an album. In fact... I didn't really dig Animosity until I heard the tunes from that album live, and then the groove really sunk in, so... I consider live ability to be the mark of a truly talented band. Nothing disappoints me much more than hearing a band on album and really liking it - only to find out that they can't even come close when they do it live... Taproot was that way, for me... highly disappointing in the live show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisStock Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What's an IPOD? Exactly. Also, what is a workout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AShots Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 "Thank God for music!! I CAN NOT workout without it!!!" Agree with you 100% there...provides much motivation and that little something extra that can get me through just...2...more....when weight training. Some of my Gym Playlist: Godsmack, Metallica, Motley Crue (Kickstart My Heart anyone?, obvious and perfect), Spiderbait's new version of Black Betty, System of A Down, Sevendust, a few Creed songs, Disturbed, a song form the Rocky soundtrack, Slipknot, Drowning Pool, Papa Roach, Saliva.... Wait, how long is this playlist? Yeah I like Evanescence too, lead singer has quite a voice. "Any classical polka works for me." Welll...to each their own...tho' I am a huge Weird Al fan, that just wouldn't keep me going during a workout "Did I mention I know Morgan, and heard all the tunes on that album live in Atlanta long before their record deal??? " Very cool Yeah got to see Flyleaf, Shinedown & Stone Sour live with Godsmack last year...awesome show Apparently I'm too old to be on the floor near the pit at the Disturbed concert, but being that close was still fantastic. Keep these lists comin' folks, it's great. Time for some editing on my gym list.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMoore Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Many varied tunes, but two seems to come to mind as my current favorites for inducing excitement. 1. Breaking the Law : Judas Priest 2. F*** Authority : PennyWise No theme intended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
