What do you listen to while you workout?

I'd suggest looking into some of the theme songs from WWE (Formerly known as the WWF, for those of you who hibernate) and from the UFC. A lot of the music is pretty sick. I just downloaded a bunch of themes and will be adding them to my iPod later on this evening.
 
Elton John's greatest hits pumps me up!!!!!!!

"Hold me closer tiny dancer..."

That sh!ts harrrrd
 
Disregard any fact of you either liking, or hating, any of these wrestlers. These just happen to be songs that I've downloaded and put onto my iPod. They're all hard and seem to give off that 'pumped up' feeling.

Undertaker's Theme --- Limp Bizkit - 'Rollin' (Dead Man Mix)'

Raven's Theme --- Stereomud - 'End of Everything'

Triple H's Theme --- Drowning Pool - 'The Game'

John Cena's Theme --- Unknown - 'My Time is Now'

Mr. McMahon's Theme --- Dope - 'No Chance in Hell'

Rob Van Dam's Theme --- Breaking Point - 'One of A Kind'

Raw Theme --- The Union Underground - 'Across the Nation'

Shawn Michaels' Theme --- Unknown - 'Sexy Boy'

Batista's Theme --- Saliva - 'Unleashed'

Chris Benoit's Theme --- Our Lady Peace - 'Whatever'

Also, try out 'Live for This' by Hatebreed. It's one of the theme songs from UFC.
 
The Dillenger Escape Plan
Killswitch Engage
Between the Buried and Me
Strapping Young Lad
Collapsar
Cynic
Dalek
Tomahawk
Sepultura-ROOTS
Clutch
Gojira
Sizzla
Buju Banton
Tree

At least that's whats on my player now. Who knows in a month.
 
White Zombie -Astro Creep 2000
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven, Great Southern Trendkill

Sometimes I will listen to RHCP, but I have pretty faithfully stuck with White Zombie and Pantera for training music since I was 17.
 
'Scream Aim Fire'
'Say Goodnight'
'Hearts Burst Into Fire'
'Take It Out On Me'
'Deliver Us From Evil'

All above songs are by Bullet For My Valentine. They're from their new album 'Scream Aim Fire.' Great album!
 
Bringing my own music is essential as the gym I currently attend plays either rap/hip hop or classic rock (not so bad).

Either way, a list of whats currently on my player in no order:

Decapitated
Immolation
Gorgoroth
Immortal
Origin
Necrophagist
Nile
Behemoth
Xasthur
Gorguts
Goratory

And so forth. \m/

I F***IN' HATE IT WHEN IM LIFTING AND MY BATTERY DIES ON MY MP3 PLAYER AND F***IN' BUBBLY BY THAT COLBY CHICK COMES ON THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!! :FUfinger: THAT CRAP!!

ANYTHING HEAVY &/OR BASSEY WORKS FOR ME
 
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY

Once you go black, you never go back!:twisted:

I recommend the following tracks (IN SPECIFIC ORDER):

Fire it Up
Stillborn
Fire Birth Blood Doom
Bleed For Me
Suicide Messiah


Now go get educated!

Damn, took 3 pages to list Shadows Fall!?
Killswitch
Trivium
Atreyu
All that Remains
A Dozen Furies
LAMB OF GOD!!

I don't care much for Shadows Fall since Phil Labonte is no longer their lead vocalist. Personally, I think his other band, All That Remains, blows Shadows Fall out of the water. I love ATR. I listen to some Shadows Fall, but mostly the older stuff from when Phil was involved.
 
Here are some recent discs I've been playing. I tend to change a lot during a session.

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Papa Roach - Paramour Sessions
King's X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
Galactic Cowboys - Space in Your Face
Iced Earth - Glorious Burden
Sonia Dada - Day at the Beach
Barren Cross - Atomic Arena
Sixx A.M. - Heroin Diaries
Rez - DMZ
Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Steve Taylor - I Predict a Clone
Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabyes
Newsboys - Not Ashamed
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Crimson Glory - Astronomica
Dream Theater - Awake
Petra - This Means War
Cult - Greatest Hits
Metallica - Red, Blue and Green albums....

Oh, you like Pendulum too? ;) :lol:

Gimme some drum & bass or breaks. High BPM. Crazy basslines. Lots of bangin' drums. I'm good to go.
 
The Glass Prison by Dream Theater is a pretty bad ass way to start your workout.... check out this video of Lee Priest featuring the opening of Glass Prison as the music

I'm on the "Hatebreed" bandwagon when I workout. It just gives me the sickest drive to push more intensely.

I'd recommend
"Give Wings To My Triumph"
"Mind Over All"
"Defeatist"
"Before Dishonor" (Quoted in my sig in fact...)
"Smash Your Enemies"

The name escapes me at the moment, but one of my favorites starts off...
"If theres one thing in this world...that I must do...IT WILL BE, PROVE YOU WRONG"

awesome motivational stuff.
 
MuscleGuyinNY mentioned Evergreen Terrace's cover of "Maniac" which I find is great for speed rope. Some good suggestions here, Between the Buried and Me was mentioned and most of that is good for lifting.

I do believe a topic like this would belong in the Training Forum, seeing as how it has to with what music we listen to and what music motivates us while training. I figured I'd make a thread for all of us to share our playlists with one another, so those of us with iPods, or whatever you use, can have some variety to listen to while we're in the gym.

All I know is, I need a new iPod. I can't stand listening to the same sh!t on XM Radio, which they play in my gym. Nelly Furtado and other poppy sh!t just doesn't cut it for me, lol.

call me crazy but.. classical. working out doesn't have to be violent. I tend to go from house, techno, rock, to yes.. classical. I find it to make me more methodical in my lifting and paying attention to my form. Noticed noone else mentioned it, so I thought I would be the ginniepig. once again.. ;) classical...
 
Oh yeah I forgot about Avenged Sevenfold.

Have any of you ever heard the song Chapter Four?

There's a part where the dude is like, "I've come here to kill you - won't leave until you dieeeeeee"

Bad ayuss.

Currently digging Def Leppard - esp. Hysteria (whole album rocks) - and Van Halen.

Of course - AC/DC.
 
Old Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Metallica and similar. Every now and then Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, STP. It's older stuff, but I'm an older guy.
 
Mostly hard stuff (metalcore/hardcore/screamo) or D&B

As I Lay Dying
A Thorn For Every Heart
