Just what song does it for you in the poolroom?

Music

Strange how each of us is moved in a different way when playing pool to music. I tend to find myself in stroke more often when my tunes are in the background. My achilles heel is evident when my rythym is broken because somebody had to drop some green to hear Achey Breaky Heart. I guess recognizing the problem is the first step.......lol

Anyway - my dance may be enhanced by:

One Scotch, One Burbon, and One Beer - any artist
King of El Paso - Boz Scaggs
Tightrope - SRV
La Grange - ZZ
Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ
Rack-em-up - Johnny Lang
The Fire Down Below - Seger
Barracuda - Heart

Kinda dates me.... no?

I don't know about that...I like all that stuff and I'm still in my 30's...for the time being (checks watch)
 
You would love our pool room then it is downtown has the old Gandy tables.... No jukebox at all just a small tv playing in the corner ... Old men playing poker in the back ... People playing pool on the table and in the front closed off from the pool room is a kitchen that does a pretty good business.... I can't ever remember hearing music in there mostly just sports on the tv, Pool , baseball or football ... Or Mayberry RFD...

Very old (I remember this from high school!), but when the mood's right, it still gets my blood pumping.

These days, though, almost any song from the band Tool -- especially "Sober" (from the Undertow album), "Schism" (from the Lateralus album), and "Vicarious" (from the 10,000 Days album) -- the simmering raw energy "wakes me up" and puts me on another level.

Anyways, Tool's hard stuff for some, but as a musician myself, I definitely appreciate the experimentalism that Maynard James Keenan & crew have brought to fruition and made work.

Paint it Black - Stones
Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica
Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
Face Down - Red Jump Suit Apparatus
In the End - Linkin Park
Save Me - Shindown

Just a few....soon....Dirt Room - Blue October

Soooo Many..............memories attached to so many songs. Just curious what other people like to hear. Top five?


1. No question. Seger's "Turn the Page."

2. Reminds me of action in the early nineties. Yoakam's "Streets of Bakersfield.

3. G&R's "Welcome to the Jungle." They used to play it ten to twenty times in a row in a dump I used to make a killin' in.

4. "Come to my Window" was played over and over the first time I had all the doors locked in a bar and stacks of money on the light.

5. Conway's "That's my Job" for all fu#%ing kinds of reasons from my two girls to one of the first songs I gambled to at ECU.


Let's hear'em.

Oh yeah, honorable mention..... "Black" by Pearl Jam and "Mainstreet" by Bob Seger and believe it or not some forms of Beach Music.

Except for the Primus and Megadeth, pretty great list. Thanks.
 
Maybe you had to be there ... but if you were playing in the Jersey dive where I first started playing for beers, it would have to be "Prove It All Night" and, for the most entertainment value out of the regulars, Teddy Pendergrass' "Turn Off The Lights." That was some amazing pool cue Karaoke, circa 1979 ...
 
I agree, I would rather have it be quiet, but if there is going to be music playing, I want mine rather than some crappy music like there always seems to be.
 
Stevie Ray Vaughn-Voodoo Chile when i am playing against known pros....The verse that says "when i'm standing next to a mountain, i chop it down with the edge of my hand"....really gets me pumped! lol...
 
Wrong Wrong Wrong!

No love you guys choices but to me in my own not so professional but still important opinion it gotta be

Black Betty by Ram Jam

Put it on and I don't miss gets my blood rolling to a high boil and the balls just cant do nothin but run to the hole
 
Cowboy - Kid Rock

Kiss Me, I'm Sh*tfaced - Dropkick Murpheys

Who Do You Love? - George Thoroughgood

Streets of Bakerfield - Dwight Yoakum

Carmelita - Either Warren Zevon or Dwight Yoakum & Flaco Jimenez

Someday You'll Accompany Me - Bob Seger

White Punks on Dope - The Tubes

No Woman, No Cry - Bob Marley

Radar Love - Golden Earring

*** For the shock benefit of others at the poolhall:

***Closer - Richard Cheese (cover of NIN's song). This is the guy that does the theme song for The Osborns. He takes Metal, Grunge, Punk, etc. and does a nightclub version.

***Stand By Your Man - Me First and the Gimmee Gimmees. The opposite of Richard Cheese. This band takes standard ballads and covers them at sort of a speed metal pace.
