Worst Music at the Gym

Being one of the poor unfortunate souls without an iPod, mp3 player, or even a walkman, I’m subjected to all kinds of music at the gym. The hit list today:

  1. The latest from Hilary Duff
  2. Earth, Wind, and Fire
  3. Jesse McCartny (I’ve got a kid so I know these things)
  4. Britney Spears (every damn day)

And any other pop music they can throw at you. I love my gym (Lifetime Fitness), but it even plays the videos to these songs for the cardio people.

I need an iPod for Christmas.

In the freeweight area of the Golds I lift at plays a pretty good selection of good stuff. Off the top of my head I remember them playing:

Megadeth - Holy Wars
Ozzy - Bark at the Moon
Pantera - Primal Concrete Sledge
Porcupine Tree - Shallow (I shit myself when this came on!)

I don’t need to, but I ALWAYS bring my mp3 player with me. I don’t think I can lift without it.

Even the machine area plays 80s Top 40 which at least will have some Van Halen or something cool every now and then.

I specifically asked for an mp3 player for my birthday this year. No more retarded music, and no more retarded questions from guys that look like they should put on 100lbs just to look healthy…

Worst music at the gym?

Visit Gold’s in Brooklyn Heights, NY. Question answered.

My gym’s music is pretty bad, they play Black Label Society, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Hatebreed, and whatever else I bring in and put in the stereo. Its just horrible.

I couldn’t help but rub it in. I guess that makes me a bad person.

One day I forgot my CD player and the continuous gym loop had this song that I could not get out of my head for weeks. I did a little research and it was a Destiny’s Child song. Fuck. That was rough. Megadeath sucks, anything after And Justice for All metallica sucks, replace that “M” with Mudvayne.
Drop Kick Murphys is fun to listen to.[/quote]

I had the misfortune to see these hacks in concert recently. What Sevendust was doing opening for them remains a mystery. Mudvayne, yea you couldn’t get anyone else to scream fuck at the top of their lungs and play their instruments at top volume with no discernible “music” coming from them. Sorry, metal is great,but there’s a different between talent and just plain loud, obnoxious and bad.

I heard a new version of “50 Ways to Leave your Lover” at the gym the other day. It’s a good thing I wasn’t doing chest presses at the time. It had a heavy, souped up base with a dance beat. It was too funny - nearly fell off the bench. Who picks these gym tunes?

Anybody here a fan of As I Lay Dying? I love how it sounds like they’re singing about killing and malice, but they’re all love songs.

I have you all beat. I had to workout in a gym on a military base once and there were only four old farts working out. They were playing a college station and it was easy listening Jazz.

I did two sets and walked out....

Today @ the Hickam AFB gym… Stacey’s Mom has got it goin on, 50 Ways to Leave your Lover (dance version) and Hollaback girl. B-A-N-A-N-A-S…

My Humps…or Lumps or whatever that evil evil song is called…too many fat girls think they can dance when they go to the bar and that song is playing

pssh, so you guys think there would be anyone against me playing black dahlia murder in my gyms cd player?

I hate the music at my gym. I’ve conceded the point and started wearing an Ipod (well worth the 200 I paid for it a while back). But definitely metal all the way…1349, Axis of Advance, Belphegor, The Berzerker, Bolt Thrower, Hate Eternal, Nile, Into the Moat, Misery Index, etc…much, much better than “My Hump”, “Generic Nu-Metal Whiny Song”, and “Bling Bling I have a diamond-enhanced penis” that are always on heavy rotation at the gym.

the all time T sappingest song they played was Mandy by Barry Manilow.

I feel sorry for you guys. I remember the continuous Avril and Good Charlotte torture I had to endure at my old gym. Now I go to my university gym and they play no music, which is awesome for me since I don’t really like music when working out.

I do listen to music pre-workout though. I only like Mudvayne, Static-X, Metallica , Pantera, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein and Prodigy.

This is my current playlist- Silenced (Mudvayne), Superbeast (Rob), Goddamn Electric (Pantera), Somewhat Damaged (NIN), Firestarter & Smack my bitch up(Prodigy) and Sehnsucht (Rammstein).

I wear headphones when I train for just this reason. But the other day, I was standing under a speaker and heard a terrible sound from above me. It was Mariah Carey shrieking some song. I don’t know the name but there was a bunch of high notes. I attempted to turn my my mp3 but I had to move away from the speaker.

hardcorehorn as i lay dying is a very good band, you should listen to some music by job for a cowboy, norma jean, and the number twelve looks like you also… just an idea, same kind of music.

Except for Megadeth. Dave Mustaine is a pussy. [/quote]

And this affects the quality of his music how?
