It's been a while since I wrote anything NASCAR for public use so I apologize if this isn't how everyone would like it. I just want to give my opinion on the driver's intro songs for Bristol.
As many know I am a huge rock fan. No worries hip hop, pop, & country lovers I will include my opinions on those songs too! I won't leave anyone out of this entertaining blog!
Let us start from the beginning as listed on SBNation.com.
Marcos Ambrose - Fuel by Metallica...
Metallica is awesome. I didn't know he'd actually pick something that I would guess he'd never listen too! Happy to see Metallica is on the list though especially from our Aussie friend!
AJ Allmendinger - Turn Around by Flo Rida...
Flo Rida for Allmendinger doesn't so much surprise me as I'd thought. I guess whatever floats his boat. No other comments on this.
Trevor Bayne - (Secret until Sunday)...
Trevor, why the wait?! No fun in waiting especially for us bloggers!
Greg Biffle - I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas...
I really don't know what Greg was thinking while picking this. It is a good song but it doesn't strike me as a "here I am ready to rock your world" type of song. I want something to get my attention.
Dave Blaney - Ohio State University fight song...
March Madness much? I'm more of a UNC fan but to each his own. Rep your team no matter what you do!
Clint Bowyer - Theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"...
Eh, not too much to say here. Clint makes me wonder sometimes in these choices.
Jeff Burton - Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses...
Awesome pick! Have to love the classic rock that was thrown in here. Also I think this song is an overall perfect song for Bristol! It certainly is a jungle in itself.
Kurt Busch - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by George Thorogood...
Honestly can't say I heard it before. As I said before, whatever floats your boat.
Kyle Busch - Rowdy Busch by Raytona 500...
Typical Kyle fashion! Can't wait to see how the crowd reacts to this!
Landon Cassill - Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley...
What were you thinking? Landon, you're awesome but no.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - (Secret until Sunday)...
Again no fun here.
Carl Edwards - Theme from Cheers...
Well... It could be worse. I really don't know what drivers were thinking while choosing some of these.
David Gilliland - Wild Side by Motley Crue
Again awesome with the classic rock here! Gilly also knows that this race is about to get wild!
Jeff Gordon - I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty
Classic for sure. Awesome to see.
Robby Gordon - TBD...
NO FUN!
Denny Hamlin - Shipping Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphys...
First off, Denny listens to them?! Second I heard this song too much in the past few weeks but it is a fun song to have playing.
Kevin Harvick - Back In Black by AC/DC...
KHarv listens to them? Never knew that. I guess he's trying to say he's going to be back... in black.
Jimmie Johnson - (Secret until Sunday. Being selected by Brian Vickers)...
I am beyond interested in seeing what Brian picks!
Kasey Kahne - A Country Boy Can Survive by Hank Williams Jr. ...
Kasey is a country boy & I'd never expect something else from him. This song is okay but I'd vote for "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" by Big & Rich instead.
Matt Kenseth - Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold...
ESTATIC! I didn't even know Matt liked Avenged but this made me respect him more! If you never heard this song look it up! It will for sure get people's attention! I wish I was in Bristol just to hear this blasting!
Brad Keselowski - TBD...
Not fun. Why are drivers so boring sometimes?
Travis Kvapil - Song 2 by Blur...
First thought, WHOOOHOOOO! This will gain attention but it's a 90's song. What can you do sometimes?!
Bobby Labonte - God Bless Texas by Little Texas...
Bobby, we're not in Texas. That's all I have to say about that.
Andy Lally - Beat You Down by Downstait...
Never heard of this band or song. Not even interested in looking it up so no opinion on it.
Joey Logano - Opposite of Adults by Chiddy Bang...
Why did you not choose Avenged like I told you to?! Avenged would've screamed "I AM HERE!" Especially if you chose the song "Scream"!
Mark Martin - (Secret until Sunday)
Mark, why don't you want us to know?!
Michael McDowell - I Saw The Light by David Crowder Band...
No idea & didn't look it up. You are lucky for that.
Jamie McMurry - Burn It To The Ground by Nickelback...
Awesome song! Totally will get people pumped!
Casey Mears - Regulate by Warren G...
I guess in a way it'll gain attention. As I said before I'm more into the loud in your face songs.
Paul Menard - Concrete Jungle by Black Label Society...
Paul, you surprised me with this! For sure an attention grabber!
Juan Pablo Montoya - Ladies And Gentleman by Saliva...
First thought was wow, he picked rock. Second was this song is over used for events like these but it is an awesome song.
Joe Nemechek - TBD...
I'm getting sick of these! Pick a song!
Ryan Newman - Theme to "Dukes of Hazzard"...
To each his own.
David Regan - "No More Mr. Nice Guy by Alice Cooper...
Surprise, surprise. Didn't think I'd see this at all! Is this a sign of things to come on the track from David?!
Tony Raines - TBD...
Pick a song so I can give my opinion! Not that complicated!
David Reutimann - Pretty Fly For A White Guy by The Offspring...
Oh my, he really did pick this?! Props for picking it but I beg to differ on Reuti being fly at the moment.
Dennis Setzer - TBD...
See above comments for the non-songs.
Regan Smith - Welcome to the Family by Avenged Sevenfold...
Regan, you get a zillion gold stars for this! You picked them before & you keep picking them! You for sure are apart of the family foREVer! Now only if we can get a huge deathbat on your car next.
Tony Stewart - Bawitaba by Kid Rock...
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Smoke doesn't strike me as Kid Rock though. He needs something like Disturbed! Especially after he did so well in practice.
Martin Truex Jr. - Homeboy by Eric Church...
I'm surprised Kasey didn't pick this. I guess there's nothing much other than that to say.
Brian Vickers - (Secret until Sunday. Being selected by Jimmie Johnson)...
Can't wait to see this! It also makes me wonder if they lost bets to each other or something.
JJ Yeley - TBD...
Last one but can you please chose a song?!
I hope you liked my little opinion blog here. I'm looking forward to more of these blogs! Maybe one after the weekend is over about the whole Bristol weekend? Possibly so look for a link to it!
