What Music do u like when racing

[timmy410]

subtitled

.....but i have to say i like that song by static x called dirthouse, it always makes me drive real fast

[ricerrx7]

I don't like to listen to any music while I'm racing. I would rather listen to the car to see what's going on...

[bfgoedeke]

Static X is a good choice. I prefer hard core.............Fear Factory for example. That will get my ire really flowin'.

same here....i always drive w/ the music low so when friends/family/wife ride with me we both get annoyed (they turn it up, i turn it down)

[Vampyrate]

i would have to say block rockin beats or bass test by chemical brothers, just the hit of the bass really gets me

but most of the time i listen to killswitch engage, i end up screaming along to it and just flooring it

[03SilverBullet]

Music is the last thing on my mind when im racing, winning is!

[yamaha]

Don Henley's greatest hits for me.

[KeWLKaT]

racing? what kind of racing do you do lol

In either drag or lapping, if you listen to music you are finished my friend, lol.

I guess he's talking about wreckless driving and speeding on coutry roads.

well, if thats the case, i listen to killswitch and alexisonfire, good ****.

Disclaimer: I'm an old fart and don't race.

However, when driving for, um, "enjoyment", I like something with a strong, but varied drum beat. A couple of things that come to mind are "YYZ" from Rush's Moving Pictures album, and most of the Who's Quadrophenia and Led Zeppelin's Physical Grafitti.

Chaimara used to get me goin (i think the song was forced life)

doohickie, i think you are getting cooler and cooler with every post, i cant get enough YYZ. if you want to listen to some really effed up beats, check out Liquid Tension Experiment and Dream Theater. and i don't do laps or drag, i do endurance races and so far im in the lead with my circle of friends. my record is 14 hours in one day with only stops for gas every 300 miles

i love that song, and i love that band, but i cant listen to it when im behind the wheel. i tend to get into trouble

[toymachine566]

^^^i hear that hahaha

[TNT4ME]

14 hrs? beh...lol. 22 Hrs straight through...Arkansas to Massachusetts.
Me, a sleeping wife, a case of Mountain Dew and coffee/relief at the gas stations.

For me(older) Metallica (early stuff), Rush, Zepplin and believe it not Eric Clapton "before you accuse me" get the speed guage up there.....(to ummm 55 on the Autobahn of course, LOL)

[soullesselantra]

lostprophets ride, walk by pantera, or side of a bullet by nickelback

[05TidalWave]

I need fast music, no rap - no country. I need fast constant with drums things along the line of Nickelback's "Animals" BAD *** SONG. Great driving song.

[05xd]

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!Why listen to music when you can hear the engine screaming?

[Vampyrate]

^how about songs where the screams sound like the engine?

anyway, falconer is another awesome band to drive to

[BColeman]

I'm with ricerrx7, I don't like to listen to music when racing. As a matter of fact, I usually turn the stereo off and remove the faceplate so it's not illuminated, for distraction purposes. When racing, hearing your car is kind of important, for some people.

Now, on the other hand, for some really good driving music, when cruising back roads, I love to listen to anything with a good beat:

Hip-Hop
Rock
Dance
Electronica

Whatever station I'm on in XM, or whatever CD I happen to have along with me. Back when I first got my license, and my first car, 1990 Dodge Colt 2-door HB, I would listen to the Top Gun soundtrack. Gay, maybe, but at the time I had 2 12" Legacy subs in a Bandpass box, took up the whole trunk, and playing the instrumental lead in that was at the beginning of the movie made my car hum. Well, the hum certainly wasn't from the Mitsu 1.6 8-valve motor

[Vampyrate]

^listen to rammstein or hanzel und gretyl if you want a really "dirty" sort of industrial to drive to. thats some good stuff, that and the first mudvayne release (not the re-release of their demo, but ld 50)
