55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) I just read somewhere (I think on this forum) that Helm's nickname is Danger. Hmm, maybe it's in the nickname thread. I'll go check. I'm back. It's there, and it's per the Freep. Edited January 27, 2011 by 55fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Ok, this is getting ridiculous! I am so tired of all these "Songs with Meaning" crap at the Joe! No other arena does this and it makes the Joe look silly! Can we please just go back to random music playing and a fog horn for a goal and then maybe go back to Gary Glitter's Rock N' Roll part 2? Hell it was even cool when they played EMF Unbelievable after every goal. I am so sick of the music after a penalty or a power play and if I have to listen to Billy Joel after a 4th goal again, I am gonna puke! It is not even a fun experience at the Joe anymore. I was tired of Budd Lynch, but this new guy sucks! How about someone with some pizzazz? Don't get me started on Karen Newman! I know I sound like an anti-fan, but there is no "EXPERIENCE" at the Joe anymore. It's almost as bad as a Tiger's game when you have to hear 45 seconds of each players "walk to the home plate" music 4 or 5 times a game! Simple is best, you put too much thought into it and it all comes out sounding dumb! Simple, Wings score, blow the Fog Horn, play a goal song. Just one! Not one for each player! Whats next? Datsyuk scores! followed by the playing of Tatu's They're not gonna get us! Zetterberg scores - How Sweet(Swede)it is to be loved by you! Miller - MSU fight song? Eaves - Eve of Destruction? Modano - Mojo Rising part of LA Woman? Howard makes a great save - Howard The Duck? ...it's that bad guys, I can see clearly now the rain has gone? Gimme a break! Hey they can play that song when the ref makes a bad call or misses a call, Nell Carter's Gimme A Break! The Joe is the most Un-Cool place to go watch a game.

Not just to hear a stupid little jig musical after a goal! Franzen Scores! - Cue up Edgar Winters Frankenstein Adbelkader scorers! - Bill Haileys See ya later Alligator! Hudler - Who am I kidding, Hudler doesn't score... Lidstrom! - Santa Claus is coming to town! Holmstrom! - The Police, Demolition Man!

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I disagree. I like that the Wings music guy thinks about clever songs to play after holding or tripping penalties and finds out either what songs the player likes or whatever rubric he uses. It's classy.

russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 The Helm goal from last night, his goal song, his nickname and the return of Archer have all inspired my new GIF Avatar. Love Helmer's goal song. He is becoming a player that is very exciting in both zones! 2 ogreslayer and hokeychik22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with you. I love it that they have situational songs. It's one of the things that, to me, says "this is a RED WINGS game" as opposed to "this is just a generic hockey game."

I guess as long as you define "This is a Red Wings game" as a boring yawn fest, because that is what most fans do, sit on their hands and text on their phones... I understand the generic label, but dang it, play something that is gonna pump up the crowd, not the same old Motown track.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atodaso 279 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 i like when they play "hooked on a feeling" after a hooking call, or when they play "I fought the law." i think it's kinda funny, like they're sticking it to the player for getting a penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
