Our in game music at the Rock sucks!!! Wheres the Rock???

Im tired of hearing this Hot97 meets Z100 crap at every frigging home game. It only appeals to the Parise puck bunnies or to some of the arena staff/ushers. Im not asking to play some ungodly heavy music that me or Fortheloveof666 like but, please the music sucks at the Rock.:madfire: More Rock at the Rock please!!!:rant:

I don't like them that much, but even the ****ing ducks let out a little slayer at their games. I heard it at every home game during the playoffs last year.

anything other than Daughtry or whatever and ****** music.

Since we're on the subject of music,
Ole was a better goal song. Zombie Nation, everyone kinda just stands around and awkwardly goes "Ooooh-oh-oooooooohohhhhhhh". I like Zombie Nation but it's the Bruins goal song and is awkward. Also RnR Part 2 is the world's most bland played-out sports song so please.
I just miss me some Bouncing Souls. The Flyers had (Maybe still do?) Brohymn as their goal song, that's sick.

I have been to all but on game at the Rock this year (I missed the Buffalo game from a few weeks back, I had 102 fever :)), and I have to say that...

I agree. And it's not just the music production. It's the whole game night production. It's terrrrrible. We have the worst videos in the 15 or so arenas I've seen. The videos have no creative arc to them, no climax, horrible music quality and a failure to match the beat to the video. Furthermore, the overuse of the Organ (which doesn't even sound like an organ) during pregame, between periods KILLS, literally KILLS and prevents any sort of energy from being built. The "crowd" pump videos they use...Daughtry, Hinder?, All American Rejects?...you're kidding right. I don't even know who Hinder is, and I am in their prime target audience.

What happened to the Michael Strahan video?...Furthermore, we are the luckiest team to have a SEINFELD EPISODE with a DEVILS character in there. Over kill the damned thing! They should play Putty at every game (or almost every game).

The opening sequence looks like they found every effect on the new scoreboard and put it back to back, and after Sean Connery, it drops for about 2 seconds and all the energy dies...and it starts this horrrrrid video that has no beat, or anything to it...then right into the Hells Bells video (which actually isn't bad, but doesn't really have a climax to it).

If it was me the game night video production would start when the doors open at 5:30. Those that get there early, like myself, have to stare at these horrid slides on the big board (like Devils Scramble name)...while listening to that crap organ. Here's TWO ideas: 1. Play the previous nights NHL On The Fly Final so fans can keep up on the league. 2. Play a classic/any game between the two teams that will take the ice. Edit it down to exactly an hour and from 5:30 to 6:30..it ends just as the teams take the ice for warm ups.

For pregame...after the announcements do it old school. Running With The Devil into the previous game's highlights (if need be)...Then into a highlight video set YANNI's song we all came to know and love at the Meadowlands. That was Devils hockey. Then into The Hells Bells video now...and when they enter the ice surface...SEEK AND DESTROY blaring...(Like in 2003). If you notice now, when they take the ice Thunderstruck comes on, awfully quietly...As the players take the ice, INTRODUCE THE LINE UP then...so that between the anthem and opening faceoff you can play Sean Connery's WELCOME TO THE ROCK. That's the time to play it.

In game...keep the train race, trivia, puck shuffle, XM Highlights, Rock Hard Hits, compare city cheer/boo, and the kiss cam...Get rid of DANCING with the Power PLayers (do we even need them?...what a horrible commericial break that is). Also get rid of the NJ Devil video of the Date (they've played it a few times). It's horribly amateurish and cheap (just look at the jerseys the girl wears...they are all from like 1993).

Like I said before...the Daughtry, Hinder, Rejects videos HAVE GOT TO GO. You want to play videos...how about some video clips from movies...Miracle, Mystery Alaska, Al Pacino's speech in Any Given Sunday...the list can go on. Something to inspire the crowd on an emotional level (after all, that's what it's about isn't it?).

During intermissions... The Devils should play the FSNY interview with the player after the intermission entertainment is over. Also, if they are ambitious it'd be nice to have a Devils produced feature (or Cangialosi's feature) on a player, or a part of the building...something. Lastly, duriing the highlights, they should show EVERY highlight..including away goals. It's ok, they can show those too...it won't hurt our feelings. The point is to be informational on that, so show it all good/bad.

GOAL HORN. We need a goal horn...I suggest bring back the old one from the CAA, that was a sound clip that was DEVILS HOCKEY. If not get a real horn from a train (as we are in Newark) and blare that thing. Get rid of Zombie Nation...it's very bland and you can't really do anything to it. If it was me, I'd play Bon Jovi's Raise Your Hands...it's fast, it's hard and you can literally RAISE YOUR HANDS.

Music. ROCK. ROCK. ROCK. Jovi, Bruce should be standards. But keep up with Rock old and new. Zeppelin, Stones, ACDC to new stuff from Velvet Revolver, Mute Math, U2...the list goes on. "EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS"...it's disugsting. Also the CHICKEN DANCE should NEVER EvER be played in a hockey arena.


And finally...during the third period of EVERY GAME (and if it was up to me, I'd do this in all 30 rinks)...maybe the second to last commericial break...there should be a mandatory playing of "The Hockey Song - The Good Ole Hockey Game" by Stompin Tom Connors.

That's all for now...But they NEEd to do these things. Because right now, the atmosphere on most nights is mediocre. The fans are partly responsible for that, but the TEAM can do so much more.

Whats up Devils fans were DAUUUGhtry

The blind date video wouldn't be bad if they went with the obvious punchline.

The last time, he goes over there only to find out the girl is shacking up with Dano, who is carrying a hockey stick for some reason and crosschecks the mascot in the face like the "kid" from the Sportscenter videos.

Or like punches the girl in the face for wearing the wrong thing! right?!

Hell's Bells.

Also, it's official: Glory Days is our unofficial victory song. PUMP IT. Seriously, it should be coming out from every speaker when the win is final, dim it down for the three stars, then blast it back up. Added coolness: play it in Newark Penn.

HellonIce...you pretty much summed everything up and that was one of the best posts I've seen on here!

Someone email that to Game Entertainment ASAP and let's get things changed....

I have been to all but on game at the Rock this year (I missed the Buffalo game from a few weeks back, I had 102 fever :)), and I have to say that...
You had me till you got to the Hockey Song. I HATE that thing. But aside from that I think everything you said is dead on. You should put all that in an email and send it to the Devils.

Heh right on man, I still have no idea who this band Daughtry is, where did they find these guys? Doing covers at Bar A on a Tuesday in the dead of winter? Hinder looks like they're all of 12 years old and again, I still have not heard a lick of their music, although judging by the looks of them, it's probably worse than Good Charlotte.

You knew though that once Supercharger Heaven was nixed as a possible goal song, no good tunes were gonna come out. We need to get rid of that stupid Zombie Nation song though, and Ole is a soccer song AND even worse, that's what the Habs sing. Why not cycle it up? Have a few different songs so it doesn't get boring?


Along the lines of movies, I'd love to see the huddled up speech from the end Beerfest at a game, that'd be hilarious and good change of pace.

Nice post…I agree with probably 90% of what you’re sayin’.

I really like the idea of showing NHL on the Fly or some type of highlights before the game & showing something of interest during intermission. I remember last year when they were counting down some of the top moments in Devils history during the intermissions, stuff like that was really interesting. At the very least, maybe toss us some highlights from other games going on around the league.

Hinder (again, who the f are they???), Daughtry…ecckkk….

When I went up to Boston a few weeks ago, I noticed that they played a lot more rock up there (it stood out since it seemed like nearly every song there were playing was from Guitar Hero 3 or Rock Band). The Rock definitely needs to get rid of some of the crap that they play there that only appeals to people born in the 90’s.

Heh right on man, I still have no idea who this band Daughtry is, where did they find these guys? Doing covers at Bar A on a Tuesday in the dead of winter? Hinder looks like they're all of 12 years old and again, I still have not heard a lick of their music, although judging by the looks of them, it's probably worse than Good Charlotte.

Apparently none of you have ever tuned into American Idol. That's where Daughtry is from.

I can't believe you guys don't like "CLUB ROCK"!! :sarcasm:

So are they a band or just dudes who sing?? I thought American Idol was just for pop singers?

And no, I've never watched that show except for that She Bangs dude. That was hilarious. We need him for the Rock! :biglaugh:

Well he was on the show and he got booted off and now he's formed a band called Daughtry (which is his last name).

Anything is better than the cheerleaders....:help:

Wow...that's just the definition of Rock 'n Roll - going on a reality show to make a name for yourself then having the show's record label/producers/minions write all your material and package it to the masses. That's hardcore.

Dude I couldnt agree with you 100 percent more. I wrote the team about 5 years ago and got a response back about how they are relating to a family atmosphere!! If you want a family atmosphere go to disney on ice or the circus. This is the NHL!!!! If someone could post an address where all of us as fans could print out the above rant and send it in to the devils or vanderbeek for that instance I think we should all do it!!!! As for the user who posted about brohymn yes they still play it and I agree that is a kick ass goal scoring song!!!

Thank You. As we speak mine is printing out and will be in the mail today.. I hope many others on this board will do it as well, don't forget to sign it as well with you personal signature!!! GOOD LUCK!!! :yo:

I always wanted "Brown Sugar" by the Stones to be the goal song:

"I said, yeah, Yeah, YEAH....WOOOOOO!!!!"

I think everyone could catch on with that.

I have to admit, I'm bored a lot when I am at the game and during intermissions. I don't get up during the intermission because I get food when I arrive, and I rather not bother with lines, etc., so when I stay in my seat, I would like some entertainment. After the musical chairs (in which there is always 1 person who cheats and spins the chair around) in the first intermission, I prep myself to sit there bored. There should be highlights from other games, not just the scores for about 25 seconds. As stated, why not just broadcast On the Fly after whatever stupid game of the first intermission, and score-o in the second?
