workout tunes

I need to get back to it, but I'd put on any hard rock very loud - lots of AC/DC, Zeppelin, GnR, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, Stones, Who to get the adrenaline going.

Same as what I like in strip clubs.
 
I agree with Svend about gyms. For workout music, I prefer:

Rage Against the Machine
Nine Inch Nails
Beastie Boys (No Sleep Til Brooklyn works great for me)
Bender

For strip clubs, though, I think "dance" stuff works better, like Hella Good by No Doubt.
 
I also need to get back to the gym and out of the ring.

This is on my Ipod: Metallica, Pantera, Killswitch engage, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Blink 182, some NIN, Tool, Billy Talent, Alice In Chains, Audio Slave, Velvet Revolver, some Guns and Roses, Foo Fighters, KoRn, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Seether, System Of A Down, Thornley, AC/DC. Just to name a few
 
I been trying a mix of metal stuff like Rage Against the Machine etc blended in with some hardcore techno like Marco V, Deepack etc

just trying to get some ideas I know there has to be a world out there beyond Eye of the Tiger :D
 
When truly working out, music is a distraction....when you need to focus, you cannot. Background noise music is always good for me, preferably hard rock. But I have never wore an iPod, CD player, or Tape player in the gym.
You get to the point where you are lifting your max weight, you don't want to screw up with lack of focus.
 
thats exactly y i need to listen to something. I focus a lot better when i have something in my ear. Without it, all i hear is the ppl around me talking about stuff i dont care to listen to. Thats what makes me lose my focus and motivation. With music on i can just concentrate on what i need to do and not bother at all with whats going on around me.
If you can block off the noice itself, then thats great. But not everyone can do that.
 
I also recommend getting wireless headphones/earbuds.

I've had one too many mishaps where I'm running on the treadmill, my arm hits the cord, the walkman goes flying, I try to grab it, and fall flat on my face with the treadmill still going. :o

can ya guys give ideas for some tunes that get ya going in the gym?

I've never been a "electronica" or "europa" fan but a band called SCOOTER is great for me in the gym. Whether cardio or weights they have a real hardcore sound with block beats. They've been around since the early '90's and have some great tunes - the best being one called Fire that really gets me pumped up.
 
Mama Said Knock You Out LL Cool J
Welcome to the Jungle GNR
Chemical Bros.
Prophets of Rage Public Enemy
Its Over Know (the remixes) Deborah Cox these are really upbeat the Hex Hector Club Mix and the Junior Vazquez Anthem mix

I haven't worked out in a while, it may be reflected in these choices, LOL!
 
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of
RATM - Renegades of Funk
Beastie Boys - No Sleep Til Brooklyn
Nine Inch Nails - Into the Void
Bender - Angel Dust
 
For a change of pace, I made a great R&B compilation with lots of Stax records like Sam & Dave, Booker T, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. Singing along really makes the session move quickly, not recommended in a public gym though.
 
Let's not forget Survivor's - Eye of the Tiger.

I like your gym music stylez...even though I wouldn;t be caught dead listening to this music normally, I gotta say nothing drives me more than listening to "I stand alone" by Godsmack when blasting deadlifts.
