im looking for power music to motivate me in the gym

[heyyy]

so any suggestions you might have are welcome :popcorn:

[Bachstelze]

Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Stratovarius - Visions

those are the two that come to mind, if it doesn't need to be good, you could go with anything HammerFall, DragonForce or Sonata Arctica.

[madjr]

Rocky soundtrack

specially good on the jump rope, large stairs and in siberia

[chucky chuckaluck]

any music that causes your spine to tingle will work, even ballads. in the middle of working out with a friend at his house, he got a phone call. when he came back, i was asleep on the floor despite pantera blasting away. on the other hand, i've gotten fired up from things like even this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx3yXUunEq8 - and ended up having great workouts.

[Chemical Imbalance]

The albums 'The Lone Deranger' or 'Twisted' by the artist 'Hallucinogen'.

Ah - so I see we have the same musical tastes - well.

My Pandora Station (http://broadcaster.pandora.com/t?r=927&c=0&l=37961&ctl=1726CDC:DC9AF8CDD5D786CCD3CFC115651C2694&)

An eclectic variety of country, rock, blues, jazz, indie, old, new and some things you have never heard.

To the OP - just find what you hear on the radio or streaming online radio and work out to that.

Why don't YOU start you OWN Pandora radio station so you can have LOTS of your favourite music at your fingertips all the time. Just put in a few songs that you like and they pick stuff for you OR you can tell it what to play.

[blackened]

Definitely anything by Pet Shop Boys, Tears For Fears, or Pansy Division. Gets me going every time.

[pwnst*r]

so any suggestions you might have are welcome :popcorn:

are you lifting or doing cardio? two VERY different genres of music for me when i do those activities.

[Exershio]

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood, Livewire, Shout at the Devil, Girls Girls Girls, Kickstart My Heart, Wild Side, Rattlesnake Shake, etc

My favorite band to work out to.

[running_rabbit07]

awesome metallica cover

That was an awesome pic.

I recommend Korn- Getting Off, Twisted Transistor, and Liar. All three are on the See You On the Other Side album. Very motivating music for me. A good strong rhythm.

[chucky chuckaluck]

Ah - so I see we have the same musical tastes - well.

i have no musical taste. i'll pretty much listen to anything.

[mrgnash]

I think these are most suitable for the gym scene:

When We Get Together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KeI3lUkaDA&feature=related)

BearForce1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=NL&hl=nl&v=twQlpFrm5iM)

[PurposeOfReason]

It's hard to say since you never said what you enjoy. No sense working out to something you don't like.

Myself, I don't listen to music. I find I start going with the rhythm of the songs which is horrible because then for running your pace changes every few minutes and for lifting you either put off time between sets or lift too fast.

BearForce1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=NL&hl=nl&v=twQlpFrm5iM)

maybe the gyms you go to.

[HappyFeet]

[bodyharvester]

Lamb of God

[Phreaker]

Hammerfall, Sabaton?

[Jestersage]

Anything from Motorhead and Disturbed. My favorite is Indistructable.

[mrgnash]

I don't go to the gym. Mainly I'm not into worshipping machoism and the male body. I also avoid bath houses.

[Katalog]

I like listening to electronic or house music when I run or work out. A lot of it's got a nice, steady heavy beat and it's not too distracting. Some really good arists in this category are Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and DJ Tiesto. I know it's a far stretch from metal, but I prefer it during my workouts because it generally keeps pretty much the same tempo from song to song. I find that when the song changes and the beat get's slower or faster it affects the rhythm of my stride or my reps as well. But that's just me.

[graabein]

Shellac and Hot Snakes. Maybe Sepultura.

[wersdaluv]

Van Halen. Jump!!!!!

[SuperSonic4]

Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Stratovarius - Visions

Any of these and Journey

[Eisenwinter]

Hallucinogen (Simon Posford) is a genius. Excellent recommendation. I too highly recommend his music.

[spoons]

Some soundtracks are really good. Here's one from Iron Man:

[Sockerdrickan]

Tool - Triad xD

[Chemical Imbalance]

Posford is the man. I'm still waiting for the 3rd Hallucinogen album to come out. There's a new Shpongle coming too I think.

Do you also listen to other psytrance?

Israel, as you probably know, is a huge mecca for goa and psy.

[Tristam Green]

Here's what I listen to when I am working out.

Cardio:

Powerman 5000 - Tonight the Stars Revolt!
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Rob Zombie - The Sinister Urge
White Zombie - La Sexorcisto
White Zombie - Astro Creep: 2000
SpineShank - Self-Destructive Pattern

Weights/Pumping Iron:

Flo Rida - Mail on Sunday
Static-X - Machine
Static-X - Shadow Zone
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
AC/DC - Who Made Who
Metallica - S+M
Dethklok - Dethalbum

[Glenn Jones]

Any of these I'd say

Amazingly 80s and a great movie.

Rocky 4 training montages are also good I find.

Clayman by InFlames is a good album

[Grifulkin]

What about DragonFORCE? Of some apex twins, I would recommend God is an Astronaut, no lyrics just nice ambient music but it gets me going, oddly enough I can't write a paper without listening to God is an Astronaut.

[gnomeuser]

I listen to audiobooks, the tempo might not be encouraging harder work but you tend to get into the story and then sitting on the bike for a little longer isn't such a problem. It works well for weight training as well.

Most recently I had Ron Jonson' The Men Who Stare At Goats and Terry Pratchett' The Fifth Elephant in the player both were excellent "reads" for the gym.

[pookiebear]

Otep
skinlab
mudvayne (the older stuff like DIG)

a mix of songs from
kittie
led zep
ozzy/black sabbath
Fear FActory
First 2 albums from slipknot
Motorhead.
or Prodigy's song "smack my bi... up"
Iron Maiden
Judas priest
ACDC
Static X

I wish I could find most of the songs without lyrics/singing. I like tons of songs until the singer starts wailing. A super heavy bass line and power guitar is all I need to fill in between a machine gun drum sound.

I only like music that makes me super angry, otherwise I turn it off. IF I was good at music editing I would take most of the songs I listen too and cut the singers out.

[joe2012]

Eye of the Tiger!

this is exactly what i was going to suggest, that is what does it for me, though i did break my max by about 25 pounds last night listening to By My Side by 3 doors down

Kill Em All [Metallica]

http://www.metal-archives.com/images/5/3/8/538.jpg

That earlier image reminded me of the Master of Puppets tour. It kicked ***.

[Jesus_Valdez]

Ejercicio No. 16(excersice number 16) - Kinky

Tries to emulate those old LP with aerobics instructions.

[RATM_Owns]

@fairy: Yay for RATM, boo for albums that change the lyrics of Dave Mustaine's song.
