Miffed Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Although its difficult to hear the announcer from where I sit on the Kop, the music is easier to pickup. Whoever did the walkout music at the weekends game got it bang on. First the new video on the big screen, Then the contender music with the different text on the screen with the smoke Suddenly the music is interrupted by the guitar riff from Waterfront ringing round the stadium. A slight pause and the riff echoes around the ground like a battlecry. After 30 seconds or so the song fully kicks in and the players walk out to a raptuous ovation. For me, Waterfront is as "Sheffield Wednesday" as the blue and white stripes and even though its been back for a while, whatever version they are playing at the minute sounds amazing. Like a call to battle for the fans and the players. Lets keep it our "thing" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than all the crap played recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think we should honour our visitors on Monday with their own walkout music. Send them out first to this.. can show the video on the screen as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Argued with our host on many occasions, we not trying to win any critics awards. We are trying to involve the crowd, still think the studio version of Waterfront would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I thought it was too quiet on the Kop. Weird, ‘cos normally it’s deafening, and several on South said it was on Saturday again. Probably forgot to plug Kop speakers in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If it was quiet on the Kop, then we have some magical sound engineers, as sound engineers. They must be able to take the sound off the Kop and add it to the South. From where I was sitting in the South, we certainly didn't come out to anything other than a cacophany of NOISE!!!!!! I may not be a fan of modern music, but am prepared to make some noise at the appropriate time, and am prepared to suffer somewhat to encourage the crowd, but Saturday had most people around me, who are not all old fogieys like me, COMPLAINING that the noise was over-loud If it's gojng to be at that level every match, I'm afraid I will hve to become a Buxton Town supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets keep it our "thing" Don't know if it's possible but.... we should do everything you've described here tonight, but we should turn off all the floodlights just before the video starts, so the only things that's illuminated is the big screen. The floodlights should come back on as the players emerge and the song bursts into action after the 'siren like intro rift. I've seen Man City do something similar midweek with just a Blue Moon on their screen and it looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanowl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Think the DJ has got it almost spot on with the live version of waterfront on loop just before the team comes out.....just need the guitar solo for a few seconds before the battle cry bit then it will be perfect.....oh and a few decibels higher.....Still a bit quiet.
