bobobonators Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Why do the Bills always play this song on gamedays? The song is 20yrs old and, as far as I’m aware, has zero relevance to Buffalo. In my opinion, playing this song comes off as tacky, outdated and simply put: embarrassing. 1. Why do we play this song? 2. Who is responsible for selecting the playlist on game days. Any info would be greatly appreciated. 1 8 1 1 1 2 Quote
1ManRaid Posted January 29 Posted January 29 It's wild you care so much to be embarrassed about a catchy bassy song that's easy to chant along with. Why does it need to have relevance to Buffalo? It's background noise. 3 2 1 1 Quote

I’m pretty sure every sporting event for every major sport plays this song at least once/game. 4 6 2 Quote

A lot of sports teams played it at start of games or kickoffs for football. Some reason each teams fan base thinks its their thing that they started. 3 1 Quote

Why does it need to have relevance to Buffalo? It's background noise. How is it wild? It has to do with the game day experience. The song is not a classic and has no bearing to anything Buffalo, so why continue playing it every home game? Is the song deserving of being a Bills tradition on gameday? It’s a valid question in my opinion. 3 minutes ago, Gugny said: I’m pretty sure every sporting event for every major sport plays this song at least once/game. No, they do not. 1 1 5 Quote
MPL Posted January 29 Posted January 29 The Bills should only play The Goo Goo Dolls. Think you can't get pumped up to the Goo Goo Dolls? I once went to the gym and did squats at midnight while listening to Iris on repeat. I was also 22 and sad about some girl, but whatever. And the Bills are constantly getting rejected by the Super Bowl, so it's fitting. 1 10 1 Quote

It’s a legitimate question, if you don’t know the answer then let it be. 8 minutes ago, dpberr said: ...but you're ok with the train horn. I’m indifferent towards it.

It’s a valid question in my opinion. I'm not here to argue for or against this song at game day. Nor will I say I even like it. However, this particular song has shown up on top 50 rock songs of ALL time as recently as 2021. It is played all over the WORLD at sporting events. I don't know if that makes it "classic" but it certainly isn't a flash in the pan. 2 3 Quote

MPL Posted January 29 Posted January 29 My real issue with 7 Nation Army being a thing at all stadiums is that it further over inflates Jack White's sense of importance and belief that anyone who plays a minor pentatonic riff over a four-on-the-floor beat is ripping off the White Stripes. 1 1 Quote
