“Flames Go Higher” by Eagles of Death Metal. This song is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTVsGijzB-A

this one always gives me chills. the first time i heard it (at the excel centre), i thought it was kinda cheesy but two nights later at another game, i was sold. it’s the kind of classic that will never age…..

on the other hand, i think i might have described the perfect current flames anthem over at my place yesterday.

In light of the Flames’ current meltdown – I believe this would be suitable.

*If not at the beginning of each game …. play it every time Calgary sends their PP unit on the ice ……

The first 1:15 of “Magnificent” by U2. There’s a bit of Alan Parson’s Project/Chicago Bulls about the beginning of this song. Could be a classic if done right. Hate the Canucks, but the U2 opening they had at GM Place was good (unfortunately).

Killswitch Engage: This Fire Burns.

That was the dumbest thing I have ever seen. This is what happens when you have access to CG graphics and no access to actually good ideas. I saw: 1. The bombing of other universities 2. Blowing up Earth 3. Chopping a boat in half with a slash 4. “Highway to the Danger Zone” 5. exploding pucks and nets. 6. The Coca-cola bear mascot on the rage virus.

Cheesy, so f*ing cheesy.

WI’s Minnesota Wild one is not the best, but it is much much better.

That Nanooks video is amazing. Who needs to defeat your opponent on the ice when you can incinerate their campus and then destroy the entire Earth just for the heck of it?

In regards to opening songs for the Flames, I vote for the following. It’s already got a video and everything:

In all seriousness, though, I’m a big fan of the current song (Spitfire). It provides a perfect balance of energy, aggression, and anticipation. Plus, it has the name “Fire” in the title. How can you go wrong?
