Time to Retire "Hells Bells" from 3rd Down in Stadiums?

[Bruce Monnin]

Minster still plays the opening from Hell's Bells of third down.

The part I enjoy is that no one has ever made a clip of just the opening. Sometimes they forget to cut it off in time and you get the first first notes of the song itself included.

How long do you guys get between plays?

I'm a little surprised that 40% still think its cool.

Because it didn’t fit your agenda and it backfired in your face once again.

Admit it, you still love DW.

Hell yea I do! But the saying got old pretty quick.

The paranoia is as strong as ever.

I can remember a 2014 playoff game between Clyde and Toledo Central Catholic that was held at Lake High School in Milbury.

Evidently whoever ran the PA that night either 1) Really really liked AC/DC, or just that song in particular or 2) only had that one song in their music library because they only played it. Every kickoff, every third down, every timeout/break in the action was punctuated with the ominous ringing of those d@mn bells.

Great post CC.

I have nothing against the song, I just think it's played out.

 

[LCL]

No problem with it. Been to a stadium where on 3rd Down the announcer says "Weeee Neeed Mooore COWBELL!" Kinda funny, but the crowd sure gets into it. Might also suggest the siren from The Purge as a viable option.

Ya I’m paranoid that Ohio St has used that song along with many other schools in the State. But you wouldn’t know anything about going to an actual football game.

My point has ZERO to do with Ohio State. But you're unable to grasp that.

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

Currently watching the replay of the Massillon vs St. Ed's game.

I now know why this thread was started. Lol.

Why they have used the song for years and years.
Do you even know why this thread was started in the first place ? Of course you don’t so run along and scour for info.

ZERO.

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

The announcers doing the Massillon/St. Ed game mentioned Massillon's use of the bells and called it a "Massillon tradition." The next morning this thread was started.

What does that tell me? It tells me our pal streamed the Massillon game on Friday night. Lol.

I think many posters are overlooking how many kids still listen to and appreciate classic rock. It's better known than this thread would indicate.

I think kids will be listening to AC/DC 30 years from now........ if the WOKE allow it!

i say let the song play out throughout the PLAY on the field!!!

there seems to be a bunch of College teams playing those type of songs during their games.... I'm Old, but you still hear AC/DC in the weightrooms at High Schools.....

AC/DC or any of the following….

Five Finger Death Punch
Fozzy
Ghost
Pop Evil
Halestorm
All of which have songs in the top 50 hard rock songs out right now.

 

[y2h]

By the way, the 36% of you that voted it's really cool need to look in the mirror, examine yourself, and go get a dayum life.

Coming from the guy who's fans still blast Eye of the Tiger from their RVs in the parking lot every week.

If there is any hope for this world I hope that's correct.

Didn't say I agreed with that either Einstein.

 

[TigerPaw]

Jackson and McKinley giving advice on fan experience. Yeah ok. Their fans bring something to read. All 500 of them.

 

[Go Herd]

Let’s Leave the Music @ The Door you want music Go to a Concert.
Most of the time the music goes into the Cadence of the Quarterback
which truly is a Problem. Just let the Kids Play, No Music No Bells No Nothing.
Just Play Football.

Lol. Have yet to hear anyone say, "we would have won if (team name here) hadn't played Hell's Bells on every third down.
