Topic: High-tempo driving mix (Read 23526 times)

skydivingninja · « **on:** 13 Jun 2009, 18:04 »

Hey all,

I'm making a high-tempo/energy driving playlist. Fitting it on a CD, and it'll be called "Beware of Cops," since these are songs you get caught up in while driving until you realize you're going 20 over the speed limit. So far I have:

Bat Out of Hell-Meat Loaf
Acid Rain-Liquid Tension Experiment
Wasted Years-Iron Maiden
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here-Porcupine Tree
Don't Stop Me Now-Queen

Songs I'm considering:
Meduzz-Infected Mushroom
Smokin'-Boston
Highway Star-Deep Purple
Gravemakers and Gunslingers-Coheed & Cambria
Red Barchetta-Cover by James LaBrie & Steve Morse
The Mob Rules-Black Sabbath

I have a bunch of rock/metal stuff on here already, which I love, but I've just been asking around through facebook statuses and now, this forum to see if we can get into other genres/bands outside of my normal rock/metal/prog leanings. Alright, hit me!

Anything by DragonForce

Anything by DragonForce

Thought about that, but I already have two monster songs (Bat and Arriving Somewhere, 9 and 12 mins) and I don't want to devote 7-9 minutes for Dragonforce, though I have considered Strike of the Ninja, their shortest song, which everyone knows is the greatest Dragonforce, nay, the greatest power metal song ever.

How about The White Rabbits

Fort Nightly is probably their fastest album

Also Percussion Gun

Be My Head · « **Reply #4 on:** 13 Jun 2009, 18:53 »

Maybe some thrash and punk?

Stuff like Exodus, Kreator, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc...

Interested in that kinda music?

This Mix needs lots of Kyuss. Something off ofWelcome to Sky Valley should do the trick.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 Jun 2009, 06:12 »

Thanks for the replies so far, but for stuff like Cannibal Corpse, I forgot to make it clear I'm looking for GOOD music that doesn't sound like vomiting.

@Yayniall: How the hell did I forget one of the most rockin' videogame soundtracks ever??? Hopefully it can find a home.
@Squawk: Holy Fuck is pretty good. The Pulse is definitely gonna have to find a way onto this, and I'm gonna have to invest in an album/EP.
@Be My Head: Some thrash for me is okay, but Punk hasn't interested me that much ever. They're just two genres that have a few good songs apiece but the rest I can just ignore.

Thanks again!

On repeat for seventy minutes.

I'm struggling to think which track from 69 Love Songs would go on this mix. As we all know, every mixtape has to include a song from 69 Love Songs. It's the Law.

As Inlander said, that is the only song you need. Maybe Sister Ray as well.

If the police signal you to pull over, play this song and break three more laws before pulling over with your window open.

This.

"Gardenia" or "Odyssey" should fit the bill perfectly.

Nujabe's "Ristorante Mixtape"

Caspian · « **Reply #21 on:** 16 Jun 2009, 05:05 »

Kyuss and Metallica's self titled have been my driving mix for a long time. Also, Slayer's debut. I alternate them with Ulver's Nattens Madrical occaisonally if I'm in a bad mood/feel like annoying the car next to me (I've got a car with a removable roof, see).

Inlander · « **Reply #22 on:** 16 Jun 2009, 05:49 »

Actually what you need is a cassette. On one side, as previously discussed, will be "Road Runner" on repeat. On the other side will be just a shitload of bluegrass.

Oh, and somewhere on the cassette you'd have to have "The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side" from 69 Love Songs, because it's about driving and because you don't want to get pulled over by the mixtape police for not obeying the Law.

Surely this would be more appropriate? (Also a better song).

Right, looking at the songs in your first post, and positing off in a variety of directions, only things I can find on youtube:

Star One - Set Your Controls
Star One - Hawkwind Medley (feat. Dave Brock)
Wuthering Heights - Land of Olden Glory
Judas Priest - Hell Patrol
Judas Priest - All Guns Blazing
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
KMFDM - Son of a Gun
KMFDM - A Drug Against War
Nightingale - Losing Myself
Orange Goblin - Scorpionica
Arch Enemy - Angelclaw

It is a MUCH better song, I just like the intro.

That CD needs a little Trash-Metal.

What about a little Megadeth, Sodom, Kreator.... or heck, why not

W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody ...

Saxon is good too. Motörhead, Manowar...

And if you want to know what already earned me a speeding ticket - it was Iron Maiden. Run to the Hills.

Guess, my next one will be either due to Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) or Disturbed - Land of Confusion (Genesis Cover).

Unfortunately I couldn't find the Redline/Whiteline version on youtube. That is my favourite version, as it includes the extended intro and the absolutely indispensable "B-B-B-BURNOUT....................Let's HIT the FUCKING road!" bit.

Other great songs not on youtube included all the Orange Goblin songs I actually wanted, mainly Magic Carpet and Quincy the Pig Boy.

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod

Yes.

Don't actually know most of those songs, but those three at least belong on there.

I've found that heavier stuff actually is less likely to be good driving music for some reason. I guess the type of driving music depends, some music is good toe-tapping (assuming you are driving an automatic, otherwise that can be hazardous to your health), steering wheel drumming, exciting driving music, and some is for when you have miles of empty roads in your headlights, nowhere to go, nothing to do, and two pots of coffee in your belly. Kyuss and s/t-era Clutch are good examples of the latter kind of driving music, but not the first kind. At least Sky Valley Kyuss, whichever record it was that had Hurricane on it might be different.

Then there is the rainy/snowy driving music, and if you don't have The Mantle or Ashes Against the Grain as an option for that, you are doing it wrong.

Just put on some coldplay instead. The music is pretty much the same, but the vocals are a bit less annoying.

Caspian, I think you just made every Agalloch fan in the world burst into simultaneous tears. The sea level has risen an inch due to all the tears falling, and it's going to be attributed to global warming.

To be slightly more on-topic though, we have:

Electric Wizard- Funeralopolis
Meshuggah- Bleed
Intronaut- Sores Will Weep
The Ocean- Hadean
Textures- Storm Warning
