Let’s Start a Riot (a Riot)
I want to take this moment to discuss the music played at the hockey games. When I heard the title song (“Riot” by Three Days Grace) earlier this season, I thought how ironic it was that a song like that would be playing at UMass. Afterall, the lyrics are “let’s start a riot”
So that got me thinking, can we, as a group of bloggers, fans, and students, list every song that is played during our beloved hockey games?
I’ll start by posting my favorite: “No Limit” by 2Unlimited (the song for the first puck drop of every period)
So please feel free to post your favorite songs and comment on what songs you like and dislike in the comments section and maybe as a blog, we can come up with an ultimate UMass hockey mix.
In other hockey east news, Maine swept UNH, which puts us in 4th place, but a mere 2 points out from second place. We also have two games against Maine (tied for second) at the end of the season and one game against BC (also tied for second) too. What does this mean? Those three games are going to help decide the top 4 spots of Hockey East.
Northeastern is coming up this weekend for White Bright Out Night (rumor has it that the term “whiteout” is trademarked). I will also be going to the game at Northeastern, so to any fans considering the journey, they usually put visiting fans in section 23, and I might request it since it ended up being primarily UMass last game.
And finally, the pot-o-beans is tonight. I was looking forward to watching NEU play Harvard, but apparently NESN doesn’t think the game is going to be big enough to broadcast. So I will wait for the 8:00 BU BC matchup. I am thinking that a BU victory would help UMass more since BC is doing better in the Pairwise, and a BC loss might move UMass up. So GO BU? (can they both lose? is that possible?) or at least BU should try to take out Muse and every other BC player so we can have an easier time when we venture out of the quiet comfort of the Mullins and move to the Conte Forum where the Superfrauds will outnumber us. Ugh.
But we will revamp the BC hate later. Right now lets climb the NEU goalie Mountain (who was playing during the first 4-1 victory at Matthews earlier this season) and start the Northeastern (girls are husky) hate.
Go UMass!

The Funeral (Club Remix) – Plasmic Honey (entrance)
Post edited. There are levels we’re not going sink to here at Fight Mass, and gay-bashing is one of those.
Anyway, getting back on topic…
Van Halen’s “Right Now” is the theme song for the pre-game videos for both basketball and hockey; I think it originated with the 100 Years of UMass Basketball thing last year and they just kinda rolled with it.
Darude’s “Sandstorm” is the song that gets played for starting lineups for hoops (obviously); the song for hockey is Tomoyasu Hotei’s “Battle Without Honor or Humanity,” better known as the theme from Kill Bill.
Obviously “rock and roll pt 2” by that loveable child molestor Gary Glitter
However in general the music played at the Bill is terrible pop bullshit. It never switches up and is generally lazy. Listen, if we don’t have a band we might as well get a good music person who will mix in some different stuff every game. Shit, I would do it for free

Also, WTF is with the Irish shit durring the chuck a puck? That never made sense to me, what’s the conection?
-Matt
@blindspots88 The song in question is The Blood of Cu Chulainn by Mychael & Jeff Danna. The reason that they use that song is becasue the Chuck-A-Puck is sponsored by The Harp, which is an Irish pub.
The song was made famous in the movie The Boondock Saints as the opening credit music.
Still, worst music ever for a suposedly exciting event. Play dropkicks or flogging Molly, cutting song makes me sleepy and doesn’t fit the event at all
(wordpress app now let’s you comment on phone, this is win)

Yeah, frankly I’d rather hear “Shipping Up to Boston” again. It just seems so out of place.
Other mainstays are obviously “YMCA” by the Village People and “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond. The OMG BIG POP SONG OF THE MOMENT always gets played too; currently it’s a three-way tie between Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” and Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the USA.” Which are fun, I guess.
I could do without the “Cha Cha Slide” every game though. It’s the estranged, retarded brother of “Cotton Eye Joe” and “Macarena,” and the uncle of “Crank That Soulja Boy.”
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget “Hit the Road Jack” by the immortal Ray Charles, which SHOULD be the only penalty song. NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” sounds like something Tsongas would do. I also think they need to bring back Billy Joel’s “Innocent Man” for UMass penalties.
I could do without empire state of mind. song sucks as does new york
it’s catchy as fuck, but yeah. i think part of it has to do with how proud umass it of itself for getting jay-z to play here last semester. i think the collegian’s STILL chirping about it when they’re not devoting two whole pages to the latest larry the cable guy release (i’m not joking)
I get really annoyed when they play Shippin up to Boston… Ok, I get it, we are Massachusetts and we love DKM, but seriously. We are NOT Boston. If you ever go to BC or BU they like live by that song. So WHY do we insist on playing it: A. every game, and B. whenever they play at the Bill.
I really like The Funeral by Plasmic Honey. That song always pumps me up.
As for the Irish music, I never really notice it. They used to play Ready Steady Go by P. Oakenfold (sp) that song was pretty fast and loud.
I kinda see your point, but being THE University of Massachusetts, I feel we can lay claim to all parts of this fine state, Boston included.
However, I think it would be cool to integrate some UMass bred bands into the mix. Dinosaur Jr of Pixies anyone?
I have been trying to get them to play U-Mass by the Pixies for a long time. But they wont, because its vulgar.
Ok so they might say some pretty vulgar things a few times but you can hardly tell what it is unless you know what they are saying. And hell they only really need to play he 35 second portion where they say, “Its Educational, University of Massachusetts”
Oh well… what can we do, Party in the USA just gets everyone jumpin around like instantly.
Yeah, not to mention it would be mind-numbingly easy to edit out the couple of naughty lines. It absolutely blows my mind that UMass doesn’t embrace that song, or the Pixies in general, being one of our most well-known products.
Agreed 200%
Livin’ on a Prayer–Bon Jovi
“She says: We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
‘Cause it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not.
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love –
We’ll give it a shot.
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it
I swear – livin’ on a prayer.”
i wonder what happen to the club cant even handle me right now that was played lil bit before umass hockey games started havent noticed it this year.. like that song
also wondering what the name of song that includes the words i think…………… so long
Great blog right here! Additionally your web site a lot up fast!
What host are you the usage of? Can I get your associate hyperlink on your host?
I wish my site loaded up as fast as yours lol
So if you’re like me, you’ve probably been looking all over the internet for
a website that gives away free Riot Points. Just wanted to tell you all that I found a site!
Honestly it took me over a few months to find it, but it makes me happy to this day.
The great site was, RPfree4. myself. I merely recently started
taking your and today suitable the champions in League connected with
Legends. Saving money on cheap riot points has never been easier!
The website let me save my hard earned money. I honestly don’t know how to thank them.
Think about almost every moment rising ready to participate in a daily game of LoL when you currently have to update for the reason that a different champion has just appeared. Whether or not the champion is usually, jayce, ziggs, quinn, quinn, as well as elise, that champion will often cost you actually $10 for about 980 rp or maybe you can certainly have it to get 7800 ip. In my view that is just straight way up outragious! By using the web site rpfree4. myself I honestly ended up saving all around $10 a month because that’s how generally champions are released.
Anyhow, Now i am just loving this particular site
as well as I already explained to just about all my very own good friends on Myspace and Twitter!
Here’s one of several sayings through 1 of my very own buddies riot points free.
My very own good friend’s name is Donald, and the guy claims: ” I actually still cannot believe this kind of website truly works! I will have by no means considered any sort of regarding this would basically be feasible without having hacks. My partner and i just simply filled out any small questionnaire, and acquired a riot things card code free in a file. The complete method took no longer than a couple of short minutes. On average I just may get $10 huge range points every hour or so which suggests $240 worth of riot points with 24 working hours! ” The guy has been merely so
excited to help obtain free of charge riot things, the guy instructed me that will on skype
and also commenced detailing how very much this individual could save regular monthly simply because this
individual had been such as me personally. Many of us used to be able to devote
so much cash on the game League of legends, nevertheless not ever again
as we receive our rp totally free!
If a person dislike wasting money upon rune pages simply because the they either cost 6300 ip or even 980 riot factors, subsequently I sense
for you. There was a time when i would possess that trouble due to the fact it took way too long to
get very much IP ( I am just discussing 50+ normal/ranked
games), or perhaps smaller but more pricey to obtain rune websites via
riot points. A person would have 20 utmost rune
pages in addition to RiotGames currently gives you 2 pages to start off
with. 17 x $10 sama dengan $180 just for a complete pair
of runes. In which doesn’t even consist of the runes by themselves, that’s only
the internet pages.
I’m certainly not writing this post because I dislike Riot or anything, Now i’m creating this method to just inform a person that if you don’t like spending money on Riot points simply because they’re too
expensive and then have absolutely no fear as anyone may obtain cost-free riot points through rpfree4.
me. That web site is merely certainly brilliant! Free of cost riot points intended for merely practically nothing but a number of mins of your current life.
I hope this particular issue will certainly assist any one who
wishes in order to trim straight down their very own riot
points paying habits. Take pleasure in all the get
riot points!
