Super Generic Sounding, but its cool, whatevz.

Never really paid attention to intro music anyway when I go to games, if you need the musical intro to hype you up to watch some Seahawks football you might need to check yoself before you wreck yoself.

That's not the point. We have BEEN using music that will put you to sleep. You don't want that. More energy is good.

I LOVE associating music with the Hawks. Bittersweet Symph makes me almost tear up every goddam time I hear it because it makes me think of 05.

I really hope this Macklemore song sticks and this Paul Allen song doesn't last long or is minimally used.

Okay....maybe I'm missing something here.....but they have already been playing that song all season.

This is not a new song.

The version they play is a bit more rockin.......but that's the intro song that's been played all year.

What time is it?

It's HAWK TIME !!!!

Ooh...voodoo chile...love it.
Bitter sweet is good; but that era is done. This team isn't that song.
I'm all about Seahawks reign...haha, jk. Paul's song is ok; but it absolutely does not pump me up, I can only imagine it wouldn't pump up the players either.
I think Pete/Paul should take a poll of the players and use that, after all they're who their trying to pump up...or maybe actually take a fan poll (as pumping up the fans is just as important); and actually do what the fans say.

I think it's cool that he cares enough about the Hawks to want to take the time out to write a song just for the team. :th2thumbs:

I really want Jerry Jones to get jealous and force Dallas to come out to a hip hop song he writes and performs.

Remember, this team is Paul's legacy. He knows that he could be gone any day if the cancer comes back yet again (as horrible as that sounds). He wants to show his love for the team and leave something behind in the way he knows. He brought in designers to create the greatest stadium, the best practice facilities, went and got great coaches, stuffed all the places with great technology. He loves music. He is creating a song for his team that he owns. Cool tribute. I am sure someday when Paul is gone everybody who is griping about this will say how cool it is that Paul expressed himself in the form of art that he knows best and left something to his team that was personal. He's not a big talker or a guy who gets real involved. The closest I've seen in emotion from the guy is when he made a brief appearance on the field after the NFCCG. I think it's cool that he's done something personal for a team that he clearly loves.

Ditto. I like the song, too. Cool intro.

It sounds fine IMO. It has a more swagger feel than anything to pump you up. I think that works with the swagger that the D had coming into the season.

Ya, that's... pretty bad and generic.

Power to you for doing something like this Mr. Allen, but I don't think this belongs anywhere near football...

It isn't terrible, but is by no means amazing either. It's rather poorly produced, lacking in dynamic range. I expected better in the production department, given Paul Allen's deep pockets.

Personally, I have always thought Vader's cover of Raining Blood would make a great intro:

Also, if you could just get a track without the vocals, Morbid Angel's Dominate would also make a great intro track (One of my favorite drum beats):
