Has there EVER been a better headbanger tune than Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart"?

I mean, damn. Everytime I play it in my car I have to hit “repeat” and listen to it at least one more time. It gets my blood pumping more than any song I’ve heard in the last five years. (For the record, I just bought the Crue’s “Dr. Feelgood” album, and had never heard this song before now.)

Randomly select any song of Back in Black by AC/DC and you’ve got one :wink:

Whiplash - Metallica

I never really thought of AC/DC as headbanging music. Most of their songs have really slow tempos, and they are more ‘hard rock’ than ‘heavy metal’.

I’d say just about any pre-90s Metallica song is better head-banging music than Motley Crue. ‘Kickstart my Heart’ is one of Crue’s heavier songs in my opinion, but it’s still ruined by Vince Neil’s high-pitched squealing of ‘Ooh! Yeah!’

Yojimbo, you were reading my mind. I was going to say Whiplash the second I read the thread title.

Um,

“Ain’t my Bitch” by Metallica. Rules.

um, anything by Motorhead maybe? But Kickstart my Heart is a killer song

Too Young To Fall In Love is a better Crue song…

“Super Bon Bon” Soul Coughing

“Hey Man, Nice Shot” Filter

“Down In The Park” Foo Fighters

“Whatever” Butthole Surfers

“Legia: Larghetto elegiaco” Tchaikovsky

Unless you mean only music by hair bands. Then, it’s hard to beat The Crue

Actually, Quiet Riot’s “Cum on feel the noize” makes me get the groove on every time I hear it…

Ace of Spades. Gets the blood flowing.

Man, there sure are alot of geezers on this board.

Sheesh!

Damn straight! I can bang my head all day long to “I Saw the Sign” and “All That She Wants” . . .

. . . oh, wait, this isn’t about Ace of Base?

The Trooper and Ace of Spades.

Another vote for “Ace of Spades”, nothing like a little Lemmy to get the blood flowing.

And watch what you say or I’ll beat you with my cane Sonny…:wink:

Drifter by Iron Maiden always comes to mind for me (particularly if you see the footage of the band playing it in the early days with a bunch of fans banging their heads in unison - a beautiful thing :smiley: ). Judas Priest’s camp classic Living After Midnight is another from the same era.

I agree that Kickstart My Heart is one of the greats. Whiplash is a bit too fast for me to keep my headbanging in time with, and anything by Motorhead, particularly the thread favourite Ace of Spades and also Overkill (which I was just spinning this morning).

Hmm - I meant to say that the Motorhead songs are great for headbanging, not that they’re too fast …

np The Dictators - Master Race Rock

ace of spades is a greeat one. also maybe some slayer songs like blood line. would you consider any of megadeth’s music?

I nominate “Antisocial” by Anthrax.

Kickstart My Heart is the only Motley Crue song I have in my personal collection.

Another vote for Motorhead and Metallica, and I’ll throw in Slayer’s entire Reign In Blood CD.
