7 Songs

[Spidey Revivey]

The soundtrack to your character, broken down to 7 songs. What would be on that list?


1. "The Future" by Leonard Cohen

2. "99 Problems" by Hugo

3. "Gods and Monsters" by Lana Del Rey

4. "No Light, No Light" by Florence + The Machine

5. "Save Yourself" by Stabbing Westward

6. "Bring Me To Life" by Jai McDowall

7. "Judith" by A Perfect Circle



Mostly anything with a bluesy dark undertone would go well with Ram I think. I've used Florence Welch before with "Seven Devils" as a theme song but I've played it so many times that I am over it now. Hell, anything on their Ceremonials album can play be heard on Ramparte's MP3 if he had one. I think what all of these songs have in common are their pretty poetic lyrics, and a bit of eroticism which plays onto his character. Something that fits The Recluse, or at least I think.

What do you guys listen to to get in the spirit of writing your character? Are there any songs you can see your WZCW superstar come to the ring with that isn't already their theme? Sound off, and maybe we can broaden a few of our musical tastes.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Usually I just listen to my entrance theme over and over again to get in the spirit.

I'm not sure how many mob themed songs are out there

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I like classic rock and usually listen to that all day in my truck.

Comfortably Numb is a good one for a creepy kind of vibe...make you want to grab a huge joint and smoke it all at once....not me but somebody who smoked joints...

Dr. Feelgood

Voodoo Child

Twighlight Zone

Santa Monica

Love in an Elevator.

Stuff that makes you jump out of your car and air guitar your way down the sidewalk.

Money for Nothing always pumps me up too....

 

[Dagger Dias]

When writing I have been listening to these tracks. They all get played for other reasons too, but they come up the most when I make a playlist to listen to while RP writing. They are listed in the order they see arguably the most listens while working on RP writing....


Shudder Before The Beautiful - Nightwish
I love this song so much. Almost always the first song I play after coming back home, without fail, whether I'm RP writing or not. I have 3 versions of it. The standard, instrumental, and symphonic. I often will listen to each of them one after another. I listen to at least one version of it every day.

Symphony Of The Night - Dragonforce
It's always between either "Shudder Before The Beautiful" or this song, when I get home. Always among the first I listen to if it wasn't the very first that day. It's what I listen to get into character and prepare before D&D, alongside "Last Ride Of the Day" which is also on the list. Not so much the lyrics, but the melody is just so heavy and fun, which helps me get into the D&D mindset.

Edema Ruh - Nightwish
One I briefly considered using as an entrance theme.

Alpenglow - Nightwish
Another I considered for quite some time as an entrance theme, before I picked the Waterproof Blonde track.

Last Ride Of The Day - Nightwish
Not as much recently on this one, but it'll still come up from time to time when writing. This easily topped the list in the past with more than ten times as much playcounts as any other track in my music library before 2015. I always listen to it on the way to D&D though and sometimes while posting on the forum and for during RP writing. I wanted an instrumental version of it as Theron's entrance theme at one point, but I wanted it to start a specific spot, so it would have been complicated to do. Plus "Sacrament Of Wilderness" was better at the time I was considering this song anyway.

Greatest Show On Earth - Nightwish
An epic 24 minute song with no breaks. The ultimate song for if you have around 20 minutes you need music for. I play it primarily for my level grinding montages, as the three versions of it back to back (standard, instrumental, symphonic) takes care of an hour by themselves.... but it gets some listens while RP writing too.

Scars Of Yesterday - Dragonforce
I listen to this a lot while posting in the other sections too. The melody of this song is one of the best examples of Dragonforce playing music that sounds like its from a video game. It's awesome.


Also, whatever video is being featured in the RP that round sees a ton of repeated play while I proofread.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Ghostbusters Theme to really get in a nutty mood.

Ghostbusters Theme to really get in a nutty mood.

I feel like I'm back in grade-school Gym class playing Dodgeball when I hear that song. It's what the coach always played any time that we did those types of games.

 

[M]

Is this referring to songs you listen to to get in the mood of the character? Or songs you feel represent your character? Or both?!? Fuck it I'll do both.

M's a fairly spontaneous character, so a disjointed list without any real rhyme or reason would probably suit him the most. Based on that, here's the 7;

Laser Cannon Deth Sentence - Dethklok
It's his entrance music for a reason.

I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness
Going from death metal to a comedy love rock song. If you don't get what I'm going for, go back and read my RPs.

Get Back - Ludacris
Picture M as the guy from Tropic Thunder.

The Grand Conjuration - Opeth
Another death metal song? I wonder what this will be followed by...

Wareta Ringo - Risa Taneda
M listens to this when he hangs out by the lake in the rain.

Camelback Cinema - Primus
M requires an upbeat drum based song after the previous two.

Finally Get Our Way - Art Vs Science
M haunts the theatre hall and plays the organ along to this song during inappropriate times.

As for what I listen to if I want to go through M's psyche... Well, since I am M it requires very little effort on my behalf, but I'll usually chuck Agent Fresco's album Destrier on repeat until I'm finished writing. I'm so happy nobody caught me advertising that album that one time, infractions scare me.

 

[NSL]

1. Type O Negative - Aenesthesia
2. Tool - Aenema
3. Lamb Of God - Walk With Me In Hell
4. All That Remains - Indictment
5. Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem
6. Butcher Babies - I Smell A Massacre
7. Disturbed - Down With The Sickness

 

[Prince Vee]

Am I the only Eminem lover here? Shame.

I used to listen to and sing along a lot of raps whilst writing my RP.

Mostly these,

1) Kings Never die
2) Till I collapse
3) Rabbit Run
4) Not Afraid
5) Lose yourself
6) 3 Am

I -like- Eminem's older stuff. Plus his Dr.Dre mash ups with just about every rap star going.

 

[Dagger Dias]

I like his older stuff. Especially "Stan". Also like "Lose Yourself" and "Like Toy Soldiers". I have his Curtain Call album.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

I feel a little cheap using Eve's entrance music in this list but when they were in rotation as Eve's theme, I listened to them over & over. I take freakishly long picking a song since I'd like something to match Eve's character... so yeah.

Also, links provided! Just click the song!

"Man! I Feel like a Woman" - Shania Twain

Eve's fun side, I guess. More about the song being almost a staple for any female character.​

"Sex Metal Barbie" - In This Moment

Conveys the whole "fallen supermodel" theme & the times she's gone crazy/bitchy.​

"Titanium" - Within Temptation

The fighting spirit within Eve.​

"Sky's the Limit" - CFO$

C'mon... do I need to explain why Sasha Banks' theme is in here?​

"Monster" - Paramore

Eve's relationship with Aubrey Sloan & Cerberus​

"Megitsune" - BABYMETAL

Translated, this song is about strong female foxes; female empowerment.​

"Masayume Chasing" - BoA

All of the above.​

After I'm done of the roster in the entrance thread, I'm doing optional, alternate ones too...I was thinking OH YEAH for an alternate for Eve....I think it would be catchy as hell

 

[Da Prophet]

"I Made It" - Kevin Rudolf

The original theme song for Cooper. It suited the original character since he was a rapper. It was also 2010 so this shit was played a lot.

"Wax On Wax Off" - KOVAS

The Mayhem Championship theme. Summed up Cooper's arrogance and his massive ego at the time while being at the top of the division.

"Wasteland" - EarlyRise

Current theme which conveys Cooper being held back and locked away by forces that never give him an opportunity.

"The Empire Strikes First" - Bad Religion

The best thing about working with Bowen was that he came up with this theme. I may use it one day because it's truly fantastic. It went perfectly with the idea of the tag team at the time and conveyed Cooper/Bowen rebelling against the establishment.

"Soap" - Melanie Martinez

Sums up Cooper saying things he probably shouldn't and getting himself into trouble.

"Villain" - Theory Of A Dead Man

Cooper will always be a heel. He's damn proud of it and believes heroes are villains just waiting to be discovered. My return RP a few years ago was built off the idea from this song.

"Mad Hatter" - Melanie Martinez

Cooper is a bit mad.

 

[Prince Vee]

I like his older stuff. Especially "Stan". Also like "Lose Yourself" and "Like Toy Soldiers". I have his Curtain Call album.

Half of the songs I said above are old too. But his new ones are cool as well, you should check it out. Guts over Fear, Kings Never die and my Entrance Phenomenal

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Seven songs you say? I suppose I'll list songs that I often listen to while I am writing Mikey RPs. Except I shall provide videos.

[YOUTUBE]GAN_O9xRkf4[/YOUTUBE]

I want to touch on it more in upcoming RPs, but Mikey came from a pretty small town and humble beginnings. Plus Ric Flair's promo interludes really put me in a wrestling mood.

[YOUTUBE]OQ5rI461KNE[/YOUTUBE]

The opening lines of this song really hit home for both fed Mikey and IRL Mikey. Dad wasn't around much growing up. Plus the little kids who trash the Christmas set up in the video was the inspiration behind the Christmas themed RP I did recently

[YOUTUBE]1WQV_cULobA[/YOUTUBE]

Mikey has always been this deeply depressed guy despite his happy go lucky demeanor. The line "When the lights shut off and its my turn to settle down, my main concern, promise that you will sing about me" really hits home for him because all he wants to do in this life is be remembered.

[YOUTUBE]27d138zhyZQ[/YOUTUBE]

Mikey is a freak and a geek, but he gets bitches. Not much else to say really.

[YOUTUBE]tG35R8F2j8k[/YOUTUBE]

The one thing Mikey wants more than anything, including the World Title, is to fall in love and be happy. He had it once, and when he lost it he was a train wreck that James Howard had to basically babysit. He falls hard for girls who show the slightest interest in him. He has a hard time discerning those who want to pursue genuine romantic interests with him from gold diggers, but he wants to give each girl he falls for everything.

[YOUTUBE]TSBs-hiapo4[/YOUTUBE]

Depressed Mikey time. I have used this song for so many lines in numerous RPs. The line "When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend" is Mikey at his core. There is a reason he latches onto other wrestlers so easily, he needs someone in his life that he can be around and share life with, even if it his completely hetero friendship with Matt Tastic.

[YOUTUBE]nfWlot6h_JM[/YOUTUBE]

At the end of the day, despite all the depressive thoughts, all the people who don't like him, all the stupid shit he gets himself into, Mikey is able to just shake it off.

 

[K Web V3]

Logan's mainly a classic rock guy, but he does partake in a wide variety of music.

AC/DC- Thunderstruck
Most definitely on Logan's playlist right before a match. The intro alone is enough to get you hyped.

Apocalyptica- At the Gates of Manala
Logan is big into Apocalyptica, preferring the songs without lyrics. This makes the list as it almost became Logan's theme

Creed- With Arms Wide Open
Basically Logan's thoughts and feelings when he found out about Hayden

CyHi The Prince- Credit I Deserve
Logan appreciates the lyricism of certain rappers, and this song in particular has some amazing metaphors, and metaphors within metaphors. one line is "I'm so off the chain, I can't even pedal forward." At end of the day Logan wants the credit he deserves

Disturbed- A Welcome Burden
Logan's favorite Disturbed song and former theme

G-Eazy- Far Alone and I Mean It
Logan relates to this song due to mostly being alone, except for Brittany most of his life. People always judged him, and now he's here. As for the other one, Logan has always been known to mean what he says, and takes pride in keeping his word.

Led Zeppelin-Kashmir

Bad Company-Feel Like Making Love
The song playing the first time Logan and Brittany made love

There's so many more, but Logan leans towards classic rock and sum hip-hop
