PrintOk so i know hes not "Officially" "THE" closer, but I think he'll end up with the gig cuz zeiglers more of a 7-8 guy in my opinion but we can all debate that later.
My question is a little more important. I feel like Nas' "Hate me now" was good for Street, but it just wasn't intimidating enough. I'm thinking something badass would be sweet that just screams, "I'm gonna shut you down" but iono what that is.
Thoughts?
Tell me if you guys like "Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold

Personally I think its a perfect closer song

I say let him actually establish himself as a closer...
before you assign him a song. IMO, until you get at least 35-40 saves in a season, you don’t deserve one.

Something loud is needed
Maybe a Metallica song since they are from the bay area. i am so tired ofthese whimpy pop songs that are played. Who could forget Dan Johnson whimpy rap.
How about "Scarborough Fair"?
Nice harmonies.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Canned or Dry,
We Neva Die.
To bad it can't be the song I wrote
I am the closer and have something to prove
If you go against me your going to lose
Just changed some verses from a UFO song “the writer”
"YOU'RE"!!!!!!!!!111
Now people are even writing songs with bad grammar?

bad grammar??
Works with every country and rap song.
If you're going to the UFO discography, why not just use
“Lights Out?” :)

This is why I love AN.
Thanks for the link, I had never heard this before.

Dub in "Oakland" over "London" and it's perfect.
Root for the Giants? Not even if they're playing al-Qaeda!
Love that song
Schenker-era UFO is killer stuff! The live version is explosive.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
I played that live album to death.
I never got to see them live while Schenker was still in the band. The first time was in San Jose with Judas Priest around 1977 or 1978 but Schenker was gone by then.

Luckily they kept re-forming the line-up over and over again in the '90s
ostensibly because everybody needed the money, and doing club tours. I saw them a couple times, with Schenker-Mogg-Way at least, during that period and it was good fun and they could still play together well.
Strangers In The Night is one of those all-too-rare cases of a live album quite possibly surpassing the studio recordings.

Blue Oyster Cult's On Your Feet Or On Your Knees would be another.
And KISS Alive!

Or an interesting song might be
“Fasten Your Seatbelts” by Pendulum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UINhE8L1yXg
-skip to around 50 seconds and listen for a bit
Jack "The Must, Just has no Rust, ain't no Bust, after him the ladies Lust, turns pitchers into Dust, likes his pizza with no Crust" Cust
What's the theme to the TV show "The Closer"?
That would be kind of clever.

i still think street should have used “street fighting man” by the stones…
are there any appropriate songs with “divine” in them?
A's v Giants "is kind of like the difference between going to see the Ramones and going to see the Bee Gees. A's fans will go see the Ramones." -BB 07/27/05
I found a few called "Divine Intervention"
The instrumental opening to this would actually work pretty well:

Ditto with this one, sort of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En3VAMN2OFY
This ain’t bad for entrance music, either:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXAF5ybVtxI
I dunno. For some reason the whole “Divine Intervention” theme got me thinking of the Kanye West track “Jesus Walks” too but I’m not sure how well that would work, really- reaching a bit, I suppose.

You're right
Street Fighting Man was a natural. How did they miss it?
Root for the Giants? Not even if they're playing al-Qaeda!
Why over-think it?
It’s time somebody just yielded to the obvious temptation (if it hasn’t been done yet) and went with Europe’s “The Final Countdown” dammit! :)

I always thought Rhodes' entrance song should have been,
“All I Need Is A Miracle.”
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
You beat me to it.
After the “Arrested Development” episodes that song always brings a smile. The Final Countdown!!!!

Thunderstruck
If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.
The movie theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
would have been a good fit for Houston Street.
For Divine, maybe Hendrix’s cover of Hey Joe.
Root for the Giants? Not even if they're playing al-Qaeda!
But has it been done before?
It seems like it’d be common but im not too familiar with closer songs.
Save Eck’s “Smoke on the Water”
and Hoffman’s “Hells Bells”

Who's song was "Enter Sandman?"
It sounds familiar right now for some reason. Perhaps because its almost 3 am
ok so you're not forgetting Enter Sandman, haha

i like beast and the harlot
you could pretty much use anything loud though and it would work, someone up above said that
"If you hit .440 with 20 bombs, you don't have to do s---. You don't have to bring a glove to practice, just hit and leave whenever you want. You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball
Some Muse songs might be interesting
Maybe Knights of Cydonia
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI&feature=related
Or picture Take a Bow playing while Devine’s slowly walking to the mound. That would be amazingly epic.

Gotta go with classic hard rock/metal for closer songs
My suggestions:
“The Zoo” – Scorpions
“Everybody Wants Some” – Van Halen
“Wanted Man” – Ratt
“Iron Man” – Black Sabbath
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” – AC/DC
“Immigrant Song” – Led Zeppelin
I also agree with “The Final Countdown”. Awesome.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
It has to rock - no synth/glam/fake metal
The synthesizer and weak vocal make The Final Countdown too limp. It is neither hard rock nor heavy metal. There’s an instrumental by Y&T (from Oakland/Alameda County, btw) called From the Moon that’s powerful and dramatic but it’s less than two minutes. It would end to soon. I suppose they could use Forever which includes From the Moon as an intro. But Forever, while it rocks, is a love song which really doesn’t fit.
Root for the Giants? Not even if they're playing al-Qaeda!
Oh I agree
And I’m a big fan of Y&T. Like you said, From the Moon is too short. The rest of their output is great, but doesn’t really fit the mood of closing a game.
The Final Countdown would be great for the cheese factor. No, it’s not intimidating or strong. But it would amuse the crowd. Compared to other songs, it’s not a great option, but it’s acceptable.
Any of those songs I listed would fit well. I tried to pick ones that weren’t overplayed and weren’t already taken by prominent closers. Generally, a good closer song has to have a dramatic intro. Then, it needs to forge ahead into a solid beat, either a marching tempo or a wild caveman type drum tempo. It also needs to have loud guitars and edgy vocals.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
Yeah, dead right on "The Final Countdown."
It’s not because it’s a great song or anything- it’s because it’s thematically appropriate (we’re looking for 3 more outs here,) it’s known and recognizable, it has a memorable (though cheesy) melody line that can be whistled, hummed, or sung by a stadium crowd, and it kicks into a reasonable beat that a stadium crowd can also clap and stomp with glee. :)

Immigrant Song
They play that in NY when Matsui comes to the plate…kind of funny…so in a way it’s already taken, though obviously not by a closer. But I wouldn’t associate it with Devine.
