I have a kickboxing match in Busan and I was asked to bring some entrance music.. ALA: WWE.

I don't listen to much music and I don't watch tv either so I got no clue what would be a "ass wompin" adrenalin pumping song for me to enter the arena on.

Suggestions?

I think you should just go the complete opposite of what they expect. Maybe a nice ballad. Bridge Over Troubled Water. Imagine, maybe some Duran Duran. But if you must be normal it seems everyone uses Metallica.

or some of that wondrous nu-metal like "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor." Either that or some 2 Unlimited.

You can't go wrong with "Thunderstruck".

fort minor - remember the name
Not my cup of tea but i think it will suit the occasion really well. Overused but worth checking out.

There's an old Ministry song I was listening to the other day that would be good--"Thieves." An oldie but a goodie.
It's fast and mean, but simple and easy to understand. I don't usually listen to that crap anymore but it's good to beat the hell out of stuff by.
Kind of a slow intro, but it gets reeeeally fast about 1:20 in.
Check it out man! It'll make you very eager to kill sh*t.

You rock my world!!! I think of this question every now and then, but more of a day time fantasy thing. Go with the darth vader theme!!! nah. Ok, I youtubed some songs, for the lyrics, not the videos. Oh, are you a dude? If you're a chick this would be way easier.

Most recently I considered this one:

Of course I'm a woman, so maybe that's not for you.

I kinda thought this would be ok:

but it might be a little too easy listening.

I am kinda fond of this one and it's a bit heavier. Listen past the dialogue to get to the song.

and maybe just cause:

How about Pantera Fucking Hostile or Prong Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck. These are theme related of course. Laughing

My personal suggestion for this situation is Rage Against The Machine Know Your Enemy

You just got me interested in downloading some old mosh-pit day songs with the Ministry suggestion BLL. Thanks!

Fort Minor's "Remember the Name" gets another vote from me.

DMX: "Where My Dogs At?" has a great, ominous intro.
http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=haYf2uebrvI

Redman's "Smash Sumthin'" also has an epic intro

Can't go wrong with "Into the Arena" by Michael Schenker (MSG). Can't find the original video on Youtube, so listen to this dude's version.
