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

Great thread gentlemen. 150+ responses plus the poll.

HELLS BELLS!!

 

[my2sense]

Let your Hells Bells flag fly!!

The PA system should only be used for players' names after the play and down and distance. Band info, the winning 50/50 and announcements about upcoming school events are also acceptable.

Thanks Adolf.

Who knew when I started this thread it would inspire two spin offs?!? The "No Band No Football" one is good.

 

[Burreaux]

Just play Mo Bamba that’s the big one now

I thought the one about fight songs being copied by schools had serious potential.

Absolute trendsetter!

Kind of a low hanging fruit topic IMO. Most schools have copied some song from somewhere.

I am still in favor of Hell's Bells. The more AC/DC, the better. Maybe teams should use "You Shook Me All Night Long" instead.

Still blows my mind that middle-aged moms will sing along to "the walls were shakin', my mind was achin'...and we were making it..." but lose their minds if "Candy Shop" is played anywhere within earshot of their kids.

I rather they play...Nazareth..."HAIR OF THE DOG." It's legendary, and every Grandmother in the stadium would stand and dance wildly. Meaning it's a sweat song for everybody...

Every song is a sweat song in August and September.

I know Dublin Coffman still plays it on 3rd down. I doubt if this ever gets retired. jmo

It lacked imagination and is already closed lol

Im ok with Hells Bells, but someone please tell Kenston to never play Elton John after 3rd quarter again. Completely killed the vibe when we were there 2 weeks ago to watch Chardon @ Kenston.

Probably requested by the queer and transgender Players. Have to cater to them these days or get in serious trouble

AC/DC will be playing 20 years from now in locker rooms before practices and games....

 

[Get Yer EAGLE ON]

I always like the WVU opening part of Ludacris' "Just Like That" with the Stand up!!! on 3rd downs.

47 years later, I'm guessing this team still has "Deuce" on their pre-game mix tape.

bring back the memories, listened to KISS between practices during two-a-days back in the late 70's........ CLASSIC!!!

thanks for sharing.....

"if it's too loud... you are too old"

 

[Zunardo]

"if it's too loud... you are too old"

(head coach talking to assistant) "If we lose this game, you and I will be looking for new jobs on Monday".

Lol. But yeah, that was quite daring for everyone - coaches, school admins, mayor, city council - to buy into back then.

Interestingly, Kiss was there on a Thursday and Friday; the next day they were in Columbus at Vets Memorial. Several of us marching band nerds went to that show. We didn't know about the Cadillac football team until one them brought the issue of Creem with the story to school, and we realized when it happened. Too bad we didn't think of it first, but we were having a good couple of seasons and won the league for the second season in a row that year.

If our team was allowed to have music in the locker room in 1975, probably would have been Deep Purple, Aerosmith, and Uriah Heep.

My apology about spelling sweet wrong. I should have known better. I went to the Jackson Milton game at Atwater against Waterloo and they opened up with Hell's Bells. I thought about this post.

So the Atlanta Braves play Hells Bells when an opposing hitter gets 2 strikes. Or at least they did last night

The commentary from Skip Caray on that would have been priceless.

All Home Schools should Play Hells Bells this week on 3rd Down!
