Vote for Axford's 2011 Intro Song!

[Jarjohm]

"New Noise" was within six votes of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" last night when I checked, but for some reason "TGTB&TU" is making a charge today. It's up by almost 20 again. I don't get it. A closer's entrance song should pump up the crowd. You won't even be able to hear that song over cheers...

If you haven't voted yet, vote "New Noise." If you have, tell everyone you know to vote: Axford's Entrance Song Poll - Round Two

[Schlitz001]

I voted for Rush again. If he trims it to 5 songs, I'll vote for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and between the top 3 songs I'd go with "Bulls on Parade".

[brewtank34]

Voted for Rage. Would have liked For Whom the Bell Tolls, but it's just too close to Hells Bells. He's gotta distinguish himself differently from the Hoffmeister. When The Ax comes out of that BP, it's time to Rage!

Down to 4. Final Round. I still want Rage.

[And That]

Refused and Audioslave are getting clobbered. Rage is 8 votes ahead of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Vote RATM!

Rage definitely needs to win this. No one wants to hear The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It's pretty evident that the votes from the eliminated songs are all going to those 2 songs though.

[trwi7]

I still want Rock Your Baby for the comedy.

[PrinceFielderx1]

I want the Good the Bad and the Ugly. That's a one of a kind entrance song and IMO can't be matched. Everybody knows what movie it's from and what it represents. It's perfect for the 9th inning. Like Hells Bells was perfect for Hoffman.

[PrinceEatMeat]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly would probably be one of the most boring closer intros of all time, and would fail to get the crowd pumped up. I heard Axford prefers Audioslave - Cochise, which is why it moved to the final 4 even though it barely had any votes.

[TooLiveBrew]

If Axford prefers a song I don't know why he doesn't just pick it for himself.

[PrinceEatMeat]

If Axford prefers a song I don't know why he doesn't just pick it for himself.

I agree, and I still think he will. He's just doing this to appease the fans in my opinion. I hope he listens to the fans, but the fact that Cochise is there makes me think that he will just pick it.

[cwolf2012]

The theme for TGTBATU doesn't build up at all. It's a great novelty concept, for sure, but it will never hold up over time as an entrance music. I want Cochise to be the choice for sure, but it looks like that's not going to happen. I hope he overrides the vote.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm sure he will override the vote, seeing as he already has done that when he narrowed it down, lol. Cochise had half the votes of some songs, but still made it to the Final 4. I'd prefer Cochise or Bulls on Parade.

[Jarjohm]

"New Noise" is up by 26 votes now on "Bulls on Parade." If it holds the lead, I hope Axford doesn't override the vote (although I'm sure he probably will). "New Noise" would be such an epic entrance song.

Axford was on the D-List this morning. They talked a lot about twitter and the poll in particular. Axford had the following comments about each song (not verbatim, this is from memory):

 

New Noise - I've always really loved this song, but never really thought about it for an entrance

Good, Bad, Ugly - Just kind of a novelty, I put it up there and people have really run with it

Audioslave - This is the song I used most last year

 

He didn't comment on Rage, and definitely sounded like he likes New Noise, for what it's worth.

 

God, this season needs to start soon - I've been reduced to conducting analysis on entrance music polls and radio interviews.

[patrickgpe]

yeah, there really isn't much to talk about minus the 5th starter and axford's entrance song. I really need meaningful baseball

[Jarjohm]

It looks like the vote will go down to the wire. "New Noise" is only a few votes down from "Bulls on Parade," which had been down by like 30 yesterday.

I dig Rage, but I think Miller Park Drunk put it best: "Hard not to like this one, but do we really want a song about the American military-industrial complex leading us into the ninth inning of a potential win? Isn't that a bit heavy?"

[And That]

Have to think Axford will make his decision shortly. Rage Against the Machine is making a late push.

 

Rally 'round the family!

[jjkoestler]

Any word on the winning song?

[RyDogg66]

Voting is still open until the song is needed.

[Warning Track Power]

Won't need it tomorrow. Big win for the Crew tomorrow. 4-2 to finish the homestand and we'll forget about this little 0-4 start. Let's go guys!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Rage is up by 3 votes right now. I would guess that he already picked his song and has an intro and everything already set up though.

[patrickgpe]

from right field bleachers, take it for what its worth...

FYI, spoke with a Brewers employee who works with the new scoreboard. They designed the intro with "New Noise," but hadn't got the final word from Axford at the time (this weekend). So, Axford's intro did exist with "New Noise," but it might never see the light of day.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I would believe that. New Noise was leading up until the last day or two. If he does pick the leader, he might have to be ready to change it until it is actually used. He said on his facebook yesterday that he can't decide between the top 2, which are New Noise and Bulls on Parade.
