I love the Pride of the Southland Marching Band. The Pregame Spectacular gives me chills every time I see it. It is indeed “A Pregame Tradition Unrivaled in College Football”. But please, somebody tell Dr. Sousa that “Iron Man” needs to go. It sounds like something a middle school band would play. I assume that this is intended to be one of those menacing songs played only when the Big Orange is on defense, but it fails to properly menace. At least we aren’t resorting to the worn out “Imperial March” (the Darth Vader thingy) but I am confident we can do better. Here are some suggested alternatives for Dr. Sousa:
1) War Machine – KISS
2) You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’ – Judas Priest
3) Metal Health – Quiet Riot
4) She Believes In Me – Kenny Rogers
