Take the stage to the strains of your favorite movie soundtrack!\u00a0*power metallers immediately look up title theme from Krull<\/em>*

Everyone likes to make an entrance.\u00a0Trouble is, if it’s just you showing up to a party, your herald\u00a0is little more than a door knock, a crappy doorbell or maybe\u00a0another guest seeing your unimpressive ride pull up and park poorly on the street, shaking your head in dismay at its state of disrepair\u00a0as you pull some warm beer out of your trunk and fumble with your keys in your filthy\u00a0pants.<\/p>\n

If you’re a successful touring band, you have a bit more on your side to make your entrance impressive: lights, good sound, an enthusiastic announcement from a roadie or opening band, etc.\u00a0The downside is the crowd probably won’t give a shit when you just stroll out\u00a0onto the stage like some loser who can’t even park his car at a party, much less build up some serious excitement for a performance.\u00a0That, and the fact that your filthy\u00a0pants can\u00a0can be seen from the back row.\u00a0Seriously, wash your goddamned pants you hobo.<\/p>\n

Easy way to pump up the crowd: play some entrance music. Your\u00a0choice\u00a0can either set the conceptual stage for your\u00a0music (i.e., sci-fi, dragonfucking, satan, etc.), generate some\u00a0humor\u00a0or nostalgia, or just basically fuck with the crowd, like\u00a0Type O Negative<\/strong>‘s repeating of “The Chicken Dance” or “What’s Up Pussycat” for agonizing minutes on end.<\/p>\n

Metallica<\/strong>\u00a0have been entering to\u00a0“The Ecstasy of Gold” from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly <\/em>for pretty much forever…<\/p>\n
