We Will Rock You - pregame

Want some opinions here - how do we feel about "We Will Rock You" pregame before the Hill? I know it had its time back in the day against FSU (that was awesome) but nowadays it has no juice pregame and in my opinion we could have a way better/more electrifying song. What should it be?
I personally think "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC would be a good one.

I agree with you but unfortunately not the reality in college football these days. If we got to have something pumped in, it might as well be something better.

I miss those churches with 300 to 500 members like TB’s church or the church across from the soccer field.
I want to God Bless everyone and may God Keep everyone safe especially for the LSU game.
An idea just before Dabo brings the Awesome Tigers down the hill we could send a Bolt of lightning down on the field near the Paw to let BK and his boys know we came to play Ball. ⚡️

Sorry, gonna go full boomer on ya. I'm down with the hype video (Why We Work is the best all time!).
But if you don't get pumped from "Sock it to Em" followed directly by "Tiger Rag" you ain't got a pulse!
Spot the #### ball! LFG!

Why we work is the 4th quarter video, which is not what I am talking about.
And "Sock it to Em" + "Tiger Rag" is not referred to at all in my post... love both of those.

They did away with "We Will Rock You" last year before the Stanford game due to fan complaints.
The last few home games the band played "orange bowl march and tiger rag" only and it was much better.
They also added purple and orange smoke at the bottom of the hill.
Now if they can shorten the video everything will be close to normal.

Thanks for the reminder about the orange and purple smoke. I may have to dig out a mask to wear pre-game if they plan to repeat that mistake. It was not a good experience for folks in the east end of the stadium.

They need to go back to rushing down the field once the cannon is fired instead of the patty cake way they are doing it now.

There are a lot of good options:
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
of course - Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
Panama - Van Halen, just 'cuz it's an awesome song
Times like These - Foo Fighters
Hysteria - Muse (I'd love to hear this one piped into the stadium!)
Boom - POD ("here come the boys from the SOUTH!")
Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Heavy is the Crown - Linkin Park
Come out and Play - Offspring
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n Roses
Momma Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J (that'd be a fun one)

The coots used to use thunderstruck before Sandstorm and that’s what Alabama uses pregame. We need something that is not canned or used by every SEC school.

The timing of it is more important than anything - have a legit song like thunderstruck/pirates of carribean, etc. as the team makes most the trip around is awesome - then transition to the band as they come down. The darn marching band doesn't get me pumped as the team comes around..

Personally I just want Clemson the crush LSU to shut Brian Kelly’s Big Mouth 🤐! Then we can play Boston’s Don’t Look Back as LSU player’s and fans leave The Real DV 🐅🐅🐅
Maybe play Bachman Turner OD, Molly Hatchet or Mothers Finest.
I really don’t remember some of the great rock songs from the 70’s some of you mentioned
Go Tigers !

They’ve ditched the “We Will Rock You” schtick (Thank God)…
I say “Kickstart My Heart” and for night games “In the Air Tonight” as the buses are going from the locker rooms to the Hill. I think they did that for Notre Dame game and it was awesome.
“Run This Town” is good too

I’ve been saying Thunderstruck would be much better than We Will Rock You for years. As someone else mentioned, the big issue with the music prior to the band playing has been the awkward timing of the conversion. Fix that and it won’t matter what song is playing.

I love Tiger Band playing when the players enter and are running down the hill, but that's not enough as it was when I was young. We need an anthem before the entrance. Thunderstruck is pretty good. I'm sure there are many choices better than the worn-out "We Will Rock You."

My thoughts.

Aug 21, 2025, 7:52 PM
|

First of all, I'm not qualified to give any suggestion that has even a modicum of weight. I'm a relative newbie to being a Clemson fan (20 years or so). I know a little of the history (Howard's Rock, the old time rivals of Georgia and Georgia Tech - I grew up in Georgia and had two uncles who were GT grads) but I don't know enough to understand what would be considered acceptable or not.
Now, with that said, I will offer this idea. (I like it, but that means nothing.) I think the band playing "Eye of the Tiger) as the team gathers around Howard's and and continues playing it as the team runs down the hill.
Face to face, out on the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive.
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Chicago bulls intro which is the parsons project eye in the sky song intro and once at top of hill and off bus or as being unloaded kick in Metallica for whom the bell tolls intro music and cannon fires and down the hill they come. Heck do an Ozzy tribute he has a ton of good songs that would work well THAT HAS A LOT OF ENERGY.

They already tried interrupting Orange Bowl March and Tiger Rag with that tired overused song "We Will Rock You" last year. Everyone complained and it failed miserably.

Admittedly, though, I'm a pretty mellow fellow and this song may not elicit the sort of mass, visceral response one might hope to draw out of 87,000 people.
