[Tsun Tzu]

There's a lot, actually...off the top of my head right this instant?


Because RAWR.


Because slightly less RAWR.

and finally, on a lighter note,


All three are examples of music that makes me, well, want to get shit done. Either physically or pyschologically.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

While the majority of my musical tastes isn't represented via this topic, I've got a few to share.

This first one would be my personal intro music if I ever had call for such

[Bestival]

I AM JAM!!!


Oh shit, so pumped right now.

I am the master of my own universe.

 

[Bradmaster Flash]

Any of the cornered themes from Phoenix Wright. Whenever you hear it in game, you know that you're about to decimate the prosecution. Special mention goes to the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 version.

 

[The Funslinger]

Past the 1:30 mark, though I love the whole thing.

 

[Caiphus]

Where would we be without

Obligatory dubstep:

Obligatory Two Steps From Hell:

[Johanthemonster666]

This song for me makes me both emotional and pumps me. I think I can take on anything after listening to it on certain days.

 

[tomtom94]

The rest are songs I like to listen to before football or just to get me pumped up in general.

Spoiler: Viking Death March - Billy Talent

Spoiler: Architects - Rise Against

Spoiler: Give It All - Rise Against

Can I just say I approve heartily and would probably have put Viking Death March myself, great songs all three.

As for my favourites, well you can probably all tell what sort of music I like, but when I especially need to get pumped up (spoilered to protect those with slow internet):

Spoiler: Du Hast - Rammstein

Spoiler: Ricky Bobby - Zebrahead

THIS.

For some reason I really disliked this song the first 10 times or so I heard it. Massive fan of Blind Guardian and Iced Earth, but for some reason this song didn't click for me for awhile.

But hell when it did it was like a magnificent train barreling right at me.

 

[Bernzz]

Dethklok- The Gears

Literally just finished listening to this.

As for me, probably something upbeat like this:

 

[hermes]

I have this:
And this:
And this:
And my latest addition:

If that song is a train, you're a deer that's wandered onto the tracks.

As for me, I heard it and was like "oh cool, a Dark Tower song. And it's not half bad, too!"

Then it gradually dawned on me that it was better than not bad. It was brilliant.

 

[silver wolf009]

This should be played at all nerdy raves.

 

[zenoaugustus]

Whenever I play a video game in which I must eliminate enemies, I'm all about regulating those bastards.

 

[V TheSystem V]

Icky Thump by The White Stripes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXTK1WbwNM

or Can't Stop by Red Hot Chilli Peppers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXTK1WbwNM

The latter was my song of summer 2003. I was 10, just listening to that whilst playing TimeSplitters 2. Amazing.

If somebody could tell me how to make it so they are viewable on my post, that would be great.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Besides, obviously, AC/DC.

Spoiler: Thunderstruck!

Besides nothing! Thunderstruck always gets me pumped up for anything.

 

[KOMega]

I'm really a fan of instrumentals.

Spoiler: FF8: Man with the Machine Gun

Spoiler: FF8: Movin'

Spoiler: ACV: Vulture

Spoiler: Two Steps From Hell: To Glory

Also i'm going to post old faithful

I like that one, but you can't beat Tao! Tao is the strongest ;P

The tag you want is [ Youtube ] (no need for a closing tag), and you just copy the Youtube URL (specifically the bit after the "v=") from the address bar, you don't need to go to "embed" or anything, and then you put it in the tag like this (without the spaces obviously):

[ Youtube=the bit after "v=" in the URL ]

I've done it for the first one of yours but you've accidentally copied the same video URL twice.

Hope that helps!
