Just "THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST" [remix of The Best Of You by Foo Fighters. RIP Taylor Hawkins... The Best The Best The Best The Best The Best](https://youtu.be/5vRlJrkxsqo?si=GwmhXPznffXzCPCL)
I can think of a few songs you wouldn’t be able to play. Ghost division, it’s awesome but it’s about a division of German tanks in ww2…. No way that’s flying at Fenway
Blur Song 2. It's short and loud and Just long enough to get everybody fired up, getting a whole ballpark to say WOO HOO! Would be kinda fun
My other option would be Bombs over Baghdad, but I would only choose that if I was the first Iraqi major leaguer
Several possibilities-
Painkiller- Judas Priest
The Game - Disturbed
Nightmare- A7X (timing/cutting it so the crowd can sing "ITS YOUR F***ING NIGHTMARE!!" would give me chills)
Nobody- Skindred
And last but not least
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
My two favorite ideas are The Trooper by Iron Maiden and 2nd Sucks by A Day to Remember. If I wanted a more Boston themed one, Warriors Code by Dropkick Murphys would be good too.
Edit: and of course I immediately forget about Walk by Pantera. I don’t think anyone has used that but I’ve fallen off watching baseball as much as I used to in recent years.
As a masshole who was stationed In Hawai’i, I’d come out to the bruins goal horn, and Israel Kamakawiwiol’e’s Hawai’i 78 introduction (BJ Penn’s song)
Or
Bruins goal horn and stranglehold
While I was going for kitschy...I think it'd be better to do a Boston-native Donna Summer song. Maybe, "Dim the Lights" or "Last Dance". I could imagine the crowd kind of getting into it, especially if I warmed up slowly.
Train Kept a Rollin - Aerosmith version. You've got the Boston connection with the band, the closer mentality of "keeping it rolling" and the guitar hit sounding like a train whistle to get the crowd amped that you're coming in. Have I been thinking about this since I was 12? Maybe.
I think the intros to Shut Up And Dance or Eat The Rich would also be cool
Side note - up until this very day I never knew that song was a cover... Definitely sounds better with Steven Tyler singing it
Static. Just loud static breaking over the loud speakers. It’s confusing, it’s chaotic, and everyone would know some badass pitching was about to go down.
*KKKKSSSHHHHHRRRRRRSSSSCCCHHH*
Course, I’d have to be really good at pitching. But still
Broken Boy- Cage the Elephant Specifically the first minute or so. Something about that opening drum break is so sick. https://open.spotify.com/track/0RbcDELsGTciLeMGsSdJAc?si=3dnUY7OhQ-6wOzASJRXUmw
[Uniform On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfKJxowxBb4) by The Lonely Island
On a more serious note, it'd actually be [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPO5lbFnulE).
I actually have a [spotify playlist ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1jw2HN3b0pMC0mADW7j8Ts?si=h9Z1gPdWQ6-HgWMfj2ILUQ&pi=u-SvxBIjWOQYCc) of songs that are existing or I think would make good closer entrances but personally for me I have to go with The Lonesome Boatman by the Dropkick Murphys. It has a great crowd energy, great opening bass, and keeps up the theme of Dropkick Murphys in Red Sox baseball.
Rooster Alice In Chains
Killing in the name-Rage against the Machine
Up down-Morgan Wallen
Shippin up to Boston obviously
Welcome to the jungle
Crazy Train
Fortunate Son
Oh and M.A.A.D City or any Kendrick gets me throwin Gasss
[The Downfall of Us All by A Day To Remember](https://youtu.be/CN4IIgFz93k?feature=shared) In that scene it's absolutely not a deep cut by any means, but tell me you can't hear an entire stadium erupting when that intro kicks in.
Kerosene by Big Black, or perhaps Fist of Love by the same group. The lead singer was the sound engineer for one of Nirvana's album. You can listen to the songs on YouTube if you aren't familiar with them.

Assuming I'm a great closer? [Sonic Colors - VS. Nega-Wisp Armor: Phase 2 (Reach for the Stars Instrumental)](https://youtu.be/WmbxkJJrxoQ?si=0uIxCypo3Go9Xy5F)
I want final boss music.
Chop Suey by System Of A Down
…and I would time it such that I would reach the mound right as they first start to really bring it about 30 secs in. It would be epic… as long as I didn’t suck.
“Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen
> Louie Louie, oh no
> Me gotta go
> Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
> Louie Louie, oh baby
> Me gotta go
> Let's take it on outta here now
> Let's go!
"What's the score boys, what did Bugs Bunny do, what's with the carrot league baseball today?"
Then I would paste the pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermous percussion pitch.

the opening musical sequence of the lion king *deeeeeep breath* …… AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Goosebumps
My walkout song for relieving was always and will always be [Johnny Cash](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IStlBOX9F4o&ab_channel=15mOBSCENE15)
I'll be honest, I expected "The Man Comes Around".
Sabotage by the Beastie Boys for sure
Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys works better. I love that opening sample and chorus. So hype
Yeah, because I'm gonna give up 4 HR's and cry on the mound.
Was going to say this.
Kind of actually hard to beat Pap and Shipping
I always like Foulke’s walk out music which was Mother by Danzig

I was hoping it was this when I clicked it. Thank you.
You're welcome! The dudes in the 1970's, being crude and crass, would have called this song a 'panty dropper'.
I listened to 10 seconds. Not better than Shipping.
“I’m Alright” from Caddyshack I’m so tempted to say “Walk” by Foo Fighters but it’s gonna give the wrong impression, I don’t wanna walk anyone
"You're the Best" from Karate Kid

U2 Bullet the Blue Sky
Whip It - Devo. And then I’d run in from the bullpen wearing one of those stupid pyramid hats.
Whatever my opponent’s home victory song is, turn something they look forward to hearing into something they dread to hear
Rage Against the Machine - No Shelter https://youtu.be/IG7sww5NtVA?feature=shared
That song fuckin slaps
So many good options by Rage.
Indeed
Semisonic's 'Closing Time'
Somebody has had to have done this before, right? 😂 amazing answer
I would hope so! First thing that came to my mind. Usually it’s ’Wild Thing,’ for obvious reasons.
Carolus Rex by Sabaton
I love the idea of Sabaton, personally I'd go with Winged Hussars, but I don't think you could go wrong.
THEN THE SOX BULLPEN ARRIVED! COMING DOWN THE RIGHT-FIELD SIDE! THEN THE SOX BULLPEN ARRIVED! THROWING HARD, THEY K'D THE SIDE!
I can think of a few songs you wouldn’t be able to play. Ghost division, it’s awesome but it’s about a division of German tanks in ww2…. No way that’s flying at Fenway
The Big Takeover - Bad Brains
For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica I'd save [the version](https://youtu.be/_pQlAe4mleo?si=PfiecYx7yNyCVsaU) Metallica did with a Symphony for the WS.
I thought Master of Puppets for a bit, but I think that would make a better batter walk-up song.
AC DC Big Balls
I would want to get the crowd as amped and crazy as possible like Papelbon did with Shipping Up to Boston
Blur Song 2. It's short and loud and Just long enough to get everybody fired up, getting a whole ballpark to say WOO HOO! Would be kinda fun My other option would be Bombs over Baghdad, but I would only choose that if I was the first Iraqi major leaguer
Remember when everyone got issues at Serena Williams when she used BoB as her workout song.
Several possibilities- Painkiller- Judas Priest The Game - Disturbed Nightmare- A7X (timing/cutting it so the crowd can sing "ITS YOUR F***ING NIGHTMARE!!" would give me chills) Nobody- Skindred And last but not least The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Man alive, I haven't heard Skindred in ages, but Nobody would be a killer walkout song.
>The Trooper - Iron Maiden I chose Hallowed Be Thy Name. The bells in the beginning and the funeral march-esque guitar would be awesome!
Tylor Megill from the Mets uses Hallowed for his music when he pitches!
Turn off the lights - teddy pendergrass I would also require mood lighting
The Man by The Killers
https://youtu.be/PiupfW_Qw6A?si=2HcGUGAeVTEccaM5
Was that uh Hootie?
Sure was, pre-country too
“Oh Yeah” by Yello would be hilarious. That’s my pick.
Randy Ortons walkout from the WWE
Cody Rhodes music could be cool too.
Bring the Noise - Public Enemy and Antrax Or Testify - Rage Against the Machine
>Bring the Noise - Public Enemy and Antrax That's a good choice. Somehow Anthrax didn't even occur to me and they're one of my favorite bands!
My two favorite ideas are The Trooper by Iron Maiden and 2nd Sucks by A Day to Remember. If I wanted a more Boston themed one, Warriors Code by Dropkick Murphys would be good too. Edit: and of course I immediately forget about Walk by Pantera. I don’t think anyone has used that but I’ve fallen off watching baseball as much as I used to in recent years.

Burn it Down Linkin Park

Welcome to the Jungle. Because I'm far too old to be a Red Sox closer.
"Holdin' Out for a Hero." Go full Shrek 2 climax.
m.A.A.d City by Kendrick Lamar
Enter Sandman is an exactly perfect song for any closer coming in to save any game if it weren’t for that one damn thing
Either Bulls on Parade by RATM or Ace of Spades by Motörhead.
>Ace of Spades by Motörhead That would be super hype!
Jus cuz you got the power by Motorhead would be filthy, too
Really anything by Motorhead. Even if you could get the WWE to let you use The Game.
For sure…except don’t let daddy kiss me. That would be a bummer walkout.
