How do you pump up?

[Bibu07]

....
Motorhead- The Game
Rage Against The Machine- Killing In The Name Of.....

Nice choices, awesome songs, really pumps up.

There's a video on YouTube with highlights of the 2005 Ashes England bowling attack, with a Razorlight song in the background, that gets me fired up, especially 'that' ball from Jones to Clarke!

What about the clip where Glenn McGrath breaks Kevin Pietersen's rib?

 

[King Cricket]

Watch a video of someone that you hate, having success.

And in your case, that "someone" is surely Veeru, right?

What about the clip where Glenn McGrath breaks Kevin Pietersen's rib?

Don't think the actual breaking of the rib is what I'd watch, but the way KP continued to dominate the Australian bowlers, even with that broken rib Watching KP's 158 at the Oval is always good to get me pumped for batting as well, I just love the theatre of Lee steaming in bowling bouncers and KP just hooking him to the fence. Seeing Shaun Tait sprinting around that boundary and leaping around trying to stop the ball was superb to watch.

One McGrath video that does get you up for bowling though is his spell of bowling at Lords, what a superb spell that was. Just showing a young bowler exactly how to use the Lords slope to full effect, a genius at work.

What about the numerous drop catches during that innings? Does that make you feel more edgy before you go out to bat?

 

[King Pietersen]

Nah, just gives me hope that if good slip catchers like Warne can drop catches, then I'll be able to get away with a few bad shots early against the standard of catching in my league, and have a chance to make a big score I'll emulate KP and make a glorious 158 this season, can see it already =P

Rock songs that make you want to jump.

Or...

Emotional songs that make you want to raise yourself up from the spurious emotional dark, lift yourself off of the ground and stop blaming yourself for being an utter piece of crap your whole life and make something of yourself...not that I do that.

Think about something really crap happening to someone you don't like.lol

well i drink lots of water, and it's good like that.

 

[ajdude]

Nah, I usually listen to some;

Metallica (Pre Black Album stuff, such as Damage Inc., Metal Militia, Dyers Eve, Fight Fire With Fire, heavy stuff)

Megadeth (Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? album, it's not too long and absolutely pumps you; look up Good Mourning/Black Friday for example.)

Slayer (Not a huge fan, so mainly War Ensemble, Angel of Death and Seasons in the Abyss)

Rush (Red Barchetta is just epic, and if I can fit 2112 in, we're all happy).

I also play some Rock Band guitar; I recommend Thrasher or Panic Attack on expert. Or perhaps some drums? In which case, the aforementioned Good Mourning/Black Friday just gets your blood pumping...and your hamstring dying...

 

[freddiw]

the emotional stuff does it for me!
mad world and electricity from billy elliot! get me zoned

 

[nightprowler10]

Beat me to it!

For me it has to be:

RATM - Killing in the name
AC/DC - If you want blood, Dirty deeds...
Pantera - tweaking hostile, hellbound, death rattle
Metallica - The thing that shouldn't be, Leper Messiah, Holier than thou
Ruiner - Too many songs to name.

I plan to put together a whole playlist for working out, shall post it here when I do.

 

[Mercules]

watch some good videos on youtube. Anything with requiem for a dream, RZA-fatal, rob Dougan-clubbed to death. any video with a good son behind it with some amazing clips in it.

Any Wu is good. Klashnekoff - Terrorise The City also.
