My workouts are always MUCH better when I workout to music that makes me mad as hell. So for the past few months, I’ve been listening to a combination of Pantera and Rob Zombie, which has worked DAMN well.
But after listening to the same songs a few hundred times over and over (literally), I’m getting pretty sick of them…
A band called Nevermore. The album The Politics of Ecstacy is probably my favorite albumn to lift to and one of my all-time favorite albums. A punishing, relentlessly heavy album.
I’m totally with Steele on this one. While every now and then I like to listen to something like Pantera or Slipknot while I lift, I’m completely happy just listening to Tool. I don’t need the music to get me “raging” in order for it to get me pumped.
Hears a little love ballad from limp Bizkit
Quite graphic, but makes me angry and push harder. Heard it?
gimme the mic
hold up it?s the motherfuckin? concrete
suicidal nightshift loaded with a vice grip
poppin? all you copies
who keep waterin? down shit
thinking you can rap with that artificial outfit
your baggy pants and bottle of crack hits
fuck all of that shit
fuck all of you posers
let go of the mic kid
step into a world that you?ve never seen
when i?m fiening for a microphone
i?m a microphone fiend
bring on the motherfuckin? cutthroat,
territorial piss off
spit the deadly and ready for lift-off
who?s getting their shit tossed?
is it the one kid running his mouth
that he?s sucking his thumb with?
you?re damn straight
i?ll put it right in ?em
no anti-venom for the buck-buck
see a world that you?ve never seen
when i?m fiening for a microphone,
i?m a microphone fiend
chorus
give me a motherfuckin? mic y?all
give me a mic y?all
give me a mic so i can rock it right y?all
i?m out of sight y?all
i?m out of sight y?all
i?m out of sight when i?m blowin? up the mic y?all
you know it
you know it
hold up, check out the motherfuckin? tv
same song, same bands everyday, fuck that
i?ll blow those motherfuckers away, you wantin?
to hear some heavy ass metal that can
penetrate deep into your ear drums?
turn it up, motherfucker
turn it up, motherfucker
turn it up and step into a world that you?ve never seen
when i?m fiening for a microphone, i?m a microphone
fiend
chorus
it?s a crazy crazy world playing crazy
crazy shit on this crazy radio, I?m really sick of it
for me, ill nino, slipknot, vmob, limp bizkit ($3 bill era), kid rock (devil without a cause), linkin park, eminem, and dmx (and then there was x + ruff ryders anthem)
but i generally get the same workout listening to some house music. i just ask myself if my opponents training harder than me right now
