Weightlifting playlist suggestions

[Mr Punch]

I'm a bit bored with my weightlifting playlist.

It consists of the Blade II, Matrix and Spawn soundtracks, a few Ministry tracks, a smattering of Einsturzende Neubauten, some hardcoreish techno every now and then (like Overseer's "Supermoves" from the Snatch soundtrack, and Fluke's "Atom Bomb" from the Wipeout 2097 soundtrack), and a couple of old school punk numbers (Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers, etc).

Anyone any suggestions?

Some people suggested Death From Above 1979, and NIN. I like NIN, but I can't find anything of theirs quite heavy enough to give me that weight-rage I'm looking for, and I couldn't possibly listen to anything by someone as ridiculously named as DFA1979! I'm also thinking of resurrecting my old fondness for KMFDM and Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel (tho, admittedly, SFOTW may fit into the silly names category).

Incidentally, apart from industrial/techno/hiphop crossover/punk, the only things that lift me higher are old school funk/soul: James Brown, Lee Dorsey etc... But that just won't do for the bench press...!

What's on your playlist?

Hi,

I love the propellerheads' version to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" It is my exercise piece.

You would have to be a zombie not to get pumped to James Brown's "Superbad". If you are a bit jaded to this number, try this version. It is a slow funk that begs for a grind:

This one may be hard to get. It is "Killer Whale" by the Underground Resistance.

Good call, love the Propellorheads... they're a bit happy-bouncy for my liking in the gym tho.

Superbad, cheers, I'll check that out!

Mr Punch,

This one is for your concentration. If you can focus through this in one workout, you might achieve a personal best in the workout that follows:

ask HW8, bet he knows some great ones for lifting.

[Frost]

old school kid rock,
NWA,
wu tang clan,
eminem or Dre when they get really f*cking angry,
ACDC,
basically anything that will get the blood pumping and the weights flying

i have continual ringing in my ears since i was 9, so even when i do not have music on, there is still the eternal song of the cosmos in my head.

i enjoy listening to flogging molly, dropkick murphy's, rancid, and bad religion - fast and smash music.

[dcrjradmonish]

My play list consist of listening to breath, thoughts in my mind, noise of weights, and body. On the good days it consist of no sounds.

If you don't mind german lyrics, Rammstein is great metal to lift to.

3rd on the Flogging Molly and Rancid, et al. I always have lots of ska of all derivations in the mix but most particularly skapunk/skacore

[goju]

the celtic frost vanity /nemisis album is great for the gym

LOL, haven't actually seen that movie, but that funk is dope! Not quite the kind of workout I had in mind though!

Love that track, and that album, and have some stuff that's better suited to my playlist for me than that on an EP. 'Problem' with that is, it's a bit bright and breezy for my lifting! A lot of Propheads are excellent but too bouncy for my workout vibe.

Can't go wrong with James... but for a workout, that'd have to be a mid-rep, mid-weight vibe.

That's so oldskool it's using a flint for chalk! Might work - will have to try it out.

Goldfinger: Superman (us, ahem, older folks get this one)

ACDC can be good, but not that big a metaller... tho it did remind me to look out some Motorhead, who for some reason always got me going more than other metal, thanks! I tried that Eminem: 'nice' but no way I could train to it.

Jesus dood. You don't need fighting arts or pumping iron, you need a yoga retreat in the woods!

old school kid rock,
NWA,

Good call on the oldskool hiphop. Hate hiphop but... like Straight Outta Compton, Power, Mos Def and a few others... guess I quite like hiphop...! Think the industrial/hip-hop crossover stuff from the soundtracks I mentioned is way better though for max weights.

i have continual ringing in my ears since i was 9, so even when i do not have music on, there is still the eternal song of the cosmos in my head.

i enjoy listening to flogging molly, dropkick murphy's, rancid, and bad religion - fast and smash music.

All good calls, but for drinking or punk-stomps in fields/village/gigging... I can't train to those.

My play list consist of listening to breath, thoughts in my mind, noise of weights, and body. On the good days it consist of no sounds.

The best. But in my gym they play the gayest of dance remixes and eurotrance oily aerobics ****... need something to drown that out, or I really get in a rage!

And I have to say, since I got into it with music, sometimes the beat does help you kick your own ass!

If you don't mind german lyrics, Rammstein is great metal to lift to.

Ah, of course... they have one on Matrix, right? Hadn't thought of chasing them up.

the celtic frost vanity /nemisis album is great for the gym

anything from testament as well

I'll give that a try, cheers.

Good suggestions so far... keep em coming!
