Music Club VIII: Zombie Apocalypse

[Guest Laffy]

Queens of the Stone Age - A Song for the Deaf

 

I can see Zombies attacking and us fleeing / attacking in this song but for me it does not quite accomplish the mission. It is alright but nothing special would give it 6/10.

 

Soundgarden - 4th of July

 

This is much better really I like this although I still have no idea why not normally the thing I would listen to but in this case 7/10.

 

YungDro & Hood Killa Presents 28 Days Posse Track

 

Weirdly this is something I would never listen to it is not my genre or music I like to listen to, in fact I would go out of my way to avoid it at any cost. But I like this. and it does suit the theme which is also great. Towards the end it tends to get a bit much for me but still 8/10

 

Manic Street Preachers 'Mausoleum'

 

A bit to samey for me, not the type of music I listen to or want to I only like one Manic Preachers song the rest I turn off as soon as possible. It does suit the theme in certain respects but for me I would let the Zombies eat me rather than listen to this. It's not awful though which is what i was expecting. 5/10

Judy Garland 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'

 

How is it something you would never think of suits this fantastically. Brilliant off the wall choice absolutely amazing. Would never have crossed my mind. Brilliant. 10/10

Defness still hasn't posted so I'm just gonna go ahead and take my turn.

 

This was pretty hard and I'm not terribly happy with my choices. I've been listening to stuff for weeks trying to figure out the absolute best songs for me. There's just too many from multiple genera. I could spend months trying to find two perfect songs and I still would have no luck. If we could have picked three it might have been easier.

 

So I decided to go with these with some inspiration from Paul and his choices. They summon intense emotion and would suite me in battle but I doubt very much that they'll do anything for anyone else. Oh well, here we go!

[dsrchris 190]

Goddamnit. Paul beat me to the punch with "Over the Rainbow" and now Maxx has beat me to "Wonderful World".

 

Looks like it's back to the drawing board for my picks! :lol

[Guest Beefhead]

Queens of the Stone Age -Song for the def

Not Zombie apocalypse worthy Im afraid just didnt fit to me. Good enough song though 8/10 for the song, 6/10 for the theme.

 

Soundgarden - 4th of July

Love this song, and as you'll see I think Soundgarden is good Zompac music. 8/10 for both.

 

YungDro & Hood Killa Presents 28 Days Posse Track

5/10 for the song. Thought Id like this more since I usually like Shao's picks. 8/10 for the music though.

 

Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum

Cant get into MSP really. So i didnt like this so much. too slow for killing zombies, not left field enough for that so crazy it works pick. 6/10

 

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

The leftest of left field picks 10/10

 

Devil Driver- those fighting words

I've sorta become a DD fan thanks to Maxx the last four or five years. Thought about a few DD songs, and a few Mastodon songs too. This works for me. 9/10

 

Louis Armstrong- What a wonderful world

A director was making a zombie movie and he needed a slow beautiful happy juxtaposition song for the final ending massacre scene, he was having a tough time choosing between this and somewhere over the rainbow. Somewhere over the rainbow made the final cut theatrically but both versions are on the Bluray disc. 9/10

 

My picks are kinda weird I think but I'll give a little insight into why I chose them.

 

[video=youtube;ySzrJ4GRF7s]

 

Soundgarden-Fell on black days

 

Lyrically this song makes me think of a zombie plague whenever i hear it. Talking about cures, and making people sick, and feeling trapped. This is THE Soundgarden zombie song.

 

[video=youtube;ImsrPW5ivGo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ImsrPW5ivGo

 

Deadmau5- Moar ghosts and stuff.

 

I'm making a different kinda zombie movie. One with slow motion capoeira zombie fights, and zombie horde scenes that turn into 8 bit side scrolling beat em ups ala River city ransom. This song fits the bill.

[Guest Beefhead]

It never fails I kill the music club

[Shaun2J 127]

I was getting round to it right now. :lol

 

DevilDriver - These Fighting Words

I've got that battle feel from this song but I can't see it being against Zombies. Against people in a war though and that's what the video might have possibly taken away from me.

5/10

 

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

It's got that same effect as Paul's video so points for that. Slow motion, almost making slick moves while in combat. Point knocked off because Paul surprised us first. :lol

9/10

 

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days

It's a good pick, one of my all-time favourites but I feel like this song relates to reflecting on what's happening rather than going into full battle mode. Which is a fine way to look at it, you guys have burst my expectations with your picks.

8/10

 

Deadmau5 - Moar ghosts and stuff.

"One with slow motion capoeira zombie fights". Exactly that in some stuttering way, when it kicks in. Just like the genre of music he makes but a minute or so after it kicks in it doesn't do anything for me. I'd probably die because it's nearly never-ending like the Zombie masses coming after me.

6/10

Night of the Living Def

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days

This is a fantastic song in it's own right, but like Mooks said, it's more for contemplating how the world done f*cked up, rather than going out and kicking it's head in. I'd happily listen to it while in my safehouse scribbling my journal of events, but I need something more upbeat to slay bitches to. 8/10 for the song, but only 4/10 for it's zombie destroying capabilities.

 

Deadmau5 - Moar Ghosts n' Stuff

I don't even know why I'm listening to this. I know this song inside out already. Again, it's a great song and I listen to it loads, but is it really zombie a*s-kicking material? I'm not so sure. It's a bit slow, and even when it kicks in properly it still doesn't make me want to cave in skulls, it just makes me want to dance. But then I guess that's what you're aiming for with the whole "Capoiera" thing. Another 8/10 for the song itself, but only a 3/10 for being too disco to get my decapitate on to.

 

EDIT: Oops, realised I forgot someone! :D

 

Gaping Maxx Wound

DevilDriver - These Fighting Words

I like the double kick, and the epic metal feel of this intro, then when it kicks in it's certainly energetic enough for me to smash some stuff to. Yeah, I could see me kicking rotting heads off the undead to this. While headbanging furiously. :lol 8/10

 

Louie Armstrong - What a Wonderful World

You sonuvab*tch. You done stole my pick. I suppose this will teach me to ask to go last. :lol But yeah, this is perfect. If I could give an eleven to this sucker I would. I think this'd probably the song that was playing when everything went south and the zombie hordes burst through the walls of our tiny survivor encampment. This plays as you watch the people you've grown close to getting eaten in front of you before the horde swarms in your direction and you realise there might not be a way out of this one...10/10

[Paul 584]

DevilDriver - These Fighting Words

 

That starting beat really gets the blood pumping. The ranty singing just put me off big style. I couldn't kill zombies to it, Id be too annoyed at the noise in my ears. But that beat man... 8/10 for the music alone.

 

Louis Armstrong What A Wonderful World

 

Amazing song, and like my second pick its a great track for the moment where you have passed depression and hit the peace as you come to terms with your death. 10/10

 

Soundgarden-Fell on black days

 

I find myself on the fence with Soundgarden, but I love this track. A bit tame for zombie killing, but as you hunt through abandoned tunnels this would work. 8/10

 

Deadmau5- Moar ghosts and stuff.

 

Oh god no. I hate it, started well but that dance shite doesn't work at all for me. 1/10

[Guest Beefhead]

It's weird I usually hate all dance shit but I have been liking deadmau5 a lot

[dsrchris 190]

Soooo...do I wait for Laffy, or shall I just post my picks?

[Guest Laffy]

Post your pick sorry mate I am away with work and have very intermittant signal. Am back in a week so I will post after you. Sorry forgot about this.

 

EDIT: I am on a dial up connection do you know how long it takes to connect. I am working through my computer at work using remote desktop thingy it is really strange. I am literally back in the stoneage made me laugh so much and caused some strange reactions from work colleagues when that dial up tone started.

Edited December 4, 2013 by Laffy

[dsrchris 190]

Okay, so first up is my "get yo' a*s out of a sticky situation" song. I've got a theory that when the sh*t properly hits the fan you have about 2 minutes to get the hell out of there if you stand a chance of surviving. So what would I listen to for possibly the most important 2 minutes of my (possibly soon to be drastically shortened) life while I hack my way through hordes of the undead? This little beauty.

 

**VERY NSFW**

Fukpig - Britain's Got F*cking Aids

[video=youtube;Uc0RIoXcH-4]

 

And up next, well Darkie started a trend with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and Maxx stole my original pick with "What a Wonderful World", so I'm gonna keep on a similar theme with this pick. Everything is ending all around you, you're backed into a corner, things are looking grim, and your iPod shuffles to...

 

**QUITE POSSIBLY THE SAFEST FOR WORK THING I'VE EVER POSTED**

The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun

[video=youtube;__VQX2Xn7tI]

[Shaun2J 127]

Fukpig - Britain's Got F*cking Aids

This is speed killing, minigun them f*ckers from the 4th floor or something like in Terminator 2. Once this song ends, your ammunition ends but bring the banana out of you, you've painted a picture beneath you. :tban

8/10

 

The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun

This is the song before you become one of them. You sit on the floor in some corner, away from the zombies but you've had a chunk bitten out of you and you're contemplating blasting your head off. Still, this song starts your transformation and the ZomPoc has really just begun.

In comparison to Paul and Maxx's pick, I think this one was the weaker of the three.

6/10

[dsrchris 190]

In comparison to Paul and Maxx's pick, I think this one was the weaker of the three.

 

Yeah, Paul and Maxx nabbed the best ones, easily. I had to make do with my emergency back-up song...which was The Carpenters. Make of that what you will. :lol

[Guest Laffy]

Devil Driver- those fighting words

This is great and fits the brief perfectly. It is not something I normally listen to and probably wont again but for this situation it is perfect. 9/10

 

Louis Armstrong- What a wonderful world

Damn It Maxx I was going to do this you and Paul messing me about any how. You can not beat perfection 10/10.

 

Soundgarden-Fell on black days

I am not feeling this not my thing and I think I would be bored and let the Zombies get me rather than fight. Not bad but not good either knid of middle of the road. 6/10

 

Deadmau5- Moar ghosts and stuff.

I like this which is random as its normally something I hate. Could not listen to it more than once though as it would lose its difference and become something I would hate in very quick sucession.Yeah as the track is going on it is now something I would never listen to again. I would die a terrible death 3/10

 

Fukpig - Britain's Got F*cking Aids

 

For kicking Zombies great, something I would listen to never. I am giving it a middle score as it does suit the theme. 7/10

 

The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun

 

For me this does not fit but I am sure it is just me. Listening to the lyrics though I can see the choice so it's not too bad just there have been better songs to fit this situation. 6/10

 

 

I am finding this quite hard to rate because some of these songs I never want to listen to again as they are not my thing but for the theme they are almost perfect so have to keep thinking Zombie I guess.

 

I thought long and hard over this and my first choices came down to three songs that I listen to in the winter when its dark and scary. One seemed too literal which was Zombie by Nellie McKay. The second was close

Be quick or be dead by Iron Maiden. In the end end settled with this.

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp

 

[video=youtube_share;k7L9hZzYlGQ]

 

I think it captures the mood. The second pick was easy it was the first thing that came to my mind and is too obvious I think but still is one of my favourite songs so it had to be done.

 

Queen - 'Another One Bites the Dust'

*Disclaimer: You're all gonna hate me and that's fine because your taste in music mostly sucks. (just playin' don't have a heart attack about it) :lol

 

Beefhead the Mighty

 

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days

What the hell?! Does this sound a bit off to anyone else? I don't remember this song sounding like this. Is it a re release or something? Anyway that totally threw me off.

 

Another Soundgarden song and not even a heavy one. I know you have your reasons for picking this, but in my opinion if Soundgarden have a zombie song that zombie song it Jesus Christ Pose. No question. I'm sorry Def but I couldn't slay anything to this let along the undead. As a song it's a solid 7/10 as a Soundgarden song it's 8/10, but for this specific music club I'm gonna have to give this a 1/10 because I don't think I can give it a zero. Shaun can I give this a zero? 'Cause if I can, this is getting a 0!

 

Nothing personal Defness as I'm sure you know. I mean, c'mon, how often do I harass you about your taste in music my friend?

 

 

Deadmau5 - Moar Ghosts n Stuff

What the actual f*ck?! Def do you even know what a zombie apocalypse is? It's not bass drops and glow sticks. It's murder and gore and murder and running from things that used to be your friends and family, not hosting a f*cking house party at the end of the world. You must be out of your goddamn head if you think you or anyone would be killing or surviving a ZomPoc while listening to this shit. Jesus Christ, man! Some Bluegrass would be way better than whatever the hell this is. Official score: I Don't Even/10

 

F*ck me... :lol

 

Okay, moving on...

 

 

DissaChrissa! My Sometimes #1 Internet Son

 

Fukpig - Britains Got F*cking Aids

Ahhh! This is so much better. Not only would I kill every Zed on the planet but maybe the survivors too and any stupid animal that got in my way. I'd yank out bushes and chainsaw trees, ah the hell with it, the whole damn planet's gotta go! 9/10

 

 

Carpenters -We've Only Just Begun

This is the song that plays when you think you're safe for ten minutes before I kick in the door covered in zombie blood and screaming the lyrics of Britains Got F*cking Aids! I dunno, I feel bad that you had to settle for this instead of mine and Paul's awesome mellow tunes. I just can't give this much more than a 5/10.

 

 

She Who Lafs Last Has Breasts(I'm runnin' out of clever names)

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp

You really should have went with Be Quick Or Be Dead because that's exactly what you want to do in a zombie apocalypse. This intro is anything but quick. I'd be dead by the time it kicked in and honestly thankful that I didn't have to listen to the rest of this by the numbers Ozzy song. He's just phoning it in now. There's no topping Ultimate Sin. I don't like this at all and if it was the only choice I had with geeks bearing down on me, I'd eat a bullet. 2/10

 

 

Queen - 'Another One Bites the Dust'

Not bad. This is another sniper's nest song. Like the scene in the Dawn remake when the guy's sniping dead from the roof of that gun shop. Not much more I can really say, I blew my creative load on Def up there poor guy. Anyway, 6/10

 

 

That's everyone caught up except Shao I think. Shao get yer picks in, bruh.

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days

What the hell?! Does this sound a bit off to anyone else? I don't remember this song sounding like this. Is it a re release or something? Anyway that totally threw me off.

 

This is the video version with an added chorus at the end and the stuff at the start. There's actually three versions of Fell On Black Days: The studio version, video and then the demo which sounds completely different. Here Maxx bruh!

 

[video=youtube;2PEHJoRx2bk]

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp

This is an excellent choice, not because of the name but this is drive by zombie shooting. Just revving up that car and then busting some zombies asses but it's not totally on the loud side.

8/10

 

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

This song is reserved for the one guy that has swift zombie killing moves, maybe a little dance move and just doing his damn job but at the end of the day he to bites the dust. Good choice.

7/10

I knew it sounded different than the one I'm used to. Thanks, Mooks.

[Shaun2J 127]

Let's get this wrapped up before the holidays. A new Music Club will be up sometime in January

[ShaolinHandLock 73]

Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum - Not a fan of the vocals. The music doesn't annoy me, but it doesn't do much for me either. Sorry. 3.5/10

 

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Far too slow-going for me. I've never been a fan of this song. 3/10.

 

DevilDriver - These Fighting Words - Suprisingly good. I like the fast pace, and the song is loud enough without causing me ear pain, and the growling vocals are growly without being overly growly to the point of not understanding the words. 7/10.

 

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World - It's not my thing, but it doesn't annoy me. 5/10.

 

Soundgarden - Fell on Black Days - Not my thing at all, sorry. 3/10.

 

Deadmau5 - Moar Ghosts and Stuff - Started out okay, then got too 'happy' sounding for a zombie apocalypse thingy. 5.5/10.

 

Fukpig - Britain's Got F*cking Aids - Vocals are literally just yelling...okay. Not sure what to say on this one. It's short. 4/10.

 

The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun - Not annoying, not my thing either. I can't picture this one during a zombie thing, sorry. 3.5/10.

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp - Took a bit too long to properly start. Not really a fan of the vocals, and the music doesn't do anything for me. At least it has zombie in it. 2/10.

 

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust - It lacks something for a zombie thingy, but otherwise it's okay. 6/10.

[dsrchris 190]

Laffers

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp

I think (like others have said) this takes too long to get going to make it an effective Zombie smashing song. Like, everything would be over before the song even kicked in properly! That being said, it is Ozzy, which wins instant points from me, so I'll give it 5/10.

 

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust

Sweet!! I'm a sucker for Queen, so I'll happily listen to this while sniping zambambos from the top of a tower block. It's not an "all-out-zombie-slaying-spree" kinda song, but it'd be pretty funny to pick off stragglers to. 7/10

[Guest Beefhead]

Fukpig - Britain's Got F*cking aids

Hmmm I don't know what I think about this one. 4 or 6 out of 10 :lol

 

The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun

I like it not the best obscure track in the thread but if it had been picked before the others may have gotten more love 9/10

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp

This one is weird to me. It fits but something is not quite right for killing zombitches. 7/10

 

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust

Totally feeling this for sniping zombies 10/10
