2021/22 Intro

[august04 2.0]

Don’t we usually have a thread on the intro about this time of year?! I wonder if we're in for anything new this season?

Pretty sure Sully got it sorted...

There will be several versions to begin the year, until I have more playing footage of our new Devils.

At present, no plans to change the audio, but there will be some additional content throughout the year pre-intro.

Thunderstruck for when the players start warm up like we had before would be great. When I listen to it I can almost ear the sound of pucks hitting plexi

I'm an old romantic for Thunderstruck too, but that change came from the room. I'll make sure you hear it at some point.

It’s a new room though!

Race with the devil for me everytime for the entrance.

Agree with you here, it might be old but by far the best.

 

[Paul Sullivan]

Small point of pedantry, but race with the Devil is a movie

It's also the devils original theme song.

Yes, I'm relatively familiar with them was just being sarky and posting a cool VH track ;-)
The one referred to as the 'old' intro by most fans is, much like the current one, a cocktail of several tracks, including a special recording of the 'thumb, thumb, thump' baseline that is a little more defined than on the original track. For me the old ones are awesome as they were my starting era. The challenge now isn't just a good track, or group of tracks, it's having a piece that works more as a 'call to action' - Nickelback beat being the obvious point here.
I quite enjoy the science / art / psychology of it and tbh spend more time researching and thinking about these things

Paul, it has to be said that in the old days they only had to put together the music. The skill in doing this and putting together the matching video takes the effort to a whole new level - which is hugely admired and appreciated.
