Apparently, the rock band, Pop Evil, has recorded a Michigan Football tribute song. The song will be released at the end of the month and they made a 'teaser trailer'/hype video for it. I found it here: http://banana1015.com/pop-evil-teases-2011-michigan-wolverines-football-song-in-the-big-house/ and it is pretty cool. This is my first time starting a topic. Hope the embed works.

Another failure, although this is real popular here in Oregon...

Wow did all you old timers take you daily pills? This video and song by Pop Evil is amazing. If you don't get excited hearing it you are too old. We need a tired grumpy old people section at The Big House.

Those rap verses were really not that good and this song shows why you do not use player's names when writing a song about your team.
how did we forget this one....classic

But I am feeling this song! Very nice.
EDIT: typed this before the video finished. Song and video both end awkwardly, but I don't hate it.

Nope. Actually pretty happy I didn't know that.

Agreed, but a little too close to ND's Freek Bass disaster.
At least
This doesn't have a ridiculous bassist bopping around for the whole song.

This is just a preview of the song right? Because otherwise that's not catchy at all...
Yes
It is just a preview of the song.
Disclaimer: Not a big fan of this genre. I actually can't stand rock music anymore. I listen to a lot of Metal. Most hype vids have hip-hop or just beats...this is a little different. I thought it was cool that a band would write a song for the Wolverines and it talks about tradition and believing...

What is the difference
What is the difference between rock and metal?
Disclaimer: I am old. You probably guessed it since I don't even have a clue that there is that much difference between various rock genres.

Valid Question
Although I cringe when people say they can't tell the difference, I can step outside and understand why. You can ask 5 metalheads this question and get 5 different answers, but the quickest way I can say it is that Metal is generally more complicated. Metal=Quantum Physics and Rock, appropriately, is Geology. I could probably write a DIARY about this subject, but this is not the place. Have a wonderful day, Baldbill.
METAL is HEAVIER than ROCK

Metal is a sub-genre of Rock.
Metal is a sub-genre of Rock. I think you paint with a pretty broad brush when you say that Metal = Quantum Physics. There are certain metal bands that just bang on the drums and strum as fast as they can while moving their fingers to different notes in a single scale.
In general, I'd agree with you, though. Metal bands tend to have a better understanding of music theory than the standard pop-rock stuff you hear on the radio. There are lots of bands in different genres that have a great understanding of music theory, though. Metal, to me, seems to have heavier distortion and more complex riffs and solos.
My analogy would be Rock is physics; Pop-rock is algebra-based Newtonian physics that you learn in high school where they give you the equations; Metal is calculus-based Newtonian physics; any band that transcends genres is Quantum Physics and that generally is going to be a personal preference.
More accurately...
More accurately, you could have said "You can ask 5 metalheads this question and get 10 different answers."

Metal is a sub-genre of rock. What I think he means is he doesn't like the pop-punk/grunge stuff that is popular on "rock" radio stations.

This is not the worst thing I
This is not the worst thing I have ever seen (see: Freakbass), but in general I think bands should just avoid writing songs about sports teams, particularly a team I love.
Unless of course the band is writing a horribly embarrassing song about a rival. That's ok.
Those Who Stay...
haha
beat me to the punch by a minute
"Vegeta, what does the scanner say about Denard Robinson's power level?"
"It's OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!"
Are there any good
pump up videos where the song was written about the team? It's impossible right?
Edit: Nice job with the embed though

Oh my gosh! I sense a Pop
Oh my gosh! I sense a Pop Evil vs Freak Bass Battle of the Bands halftime show!!!
Oh NOES!
I am afraid thats why it's a night game this year. So they can have that. Special K, is goign to do the mix board for them, and Dave Brandon will have a wardrobe malfunction when he spills pizza on his tie.
Meh, I'm glad they did it,
Meh, I'm glad they did it, but not my type of music.
Gonna be honest, Pop Evil
Gonna be honest, Pop Evil sounds little different to me than the afore-mentioned Nickelback...whose lead singer Brian does not resemble...
So
Brian got that haircut?

OT-
slightly OT, but how did you get the video to embed in the OP??? I always thought vids couldn't be embedded until the thread...
Well...
I looked up the meta post about how to embed...and it worked. Lucky me.

I thought the song
I thought the song wasn't that bad.
hmmmm...
First of all they lost me with the line "we're gonna get loud". I was thinking...srsly.
Second, is this the same band that sings the god damned WWE theme song? Freakily (and crappily) similar to a Nickelback tribute band.

Cool video...
God awful music. Nice lyrics though. I think.
All in for some manball.

Ick. Just Ick.

There are no corners in space.
Okay
At least we are now aware of it...and will not be caught off guard by it in the future, right?

If this was Dave Brandon
If this was Dave Brandon initiated, I might have to rethink my stance on him. Please tell me this won't ever be played in the stadium...
Noooooo
Do not want do not want
Tremendous!
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Please make this go away. Please tell me this isn't happening. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Let's not jump to conclusions about Brandon and this dreck
I haven't seen anything indicating this is officially approved by the athletic department. For one thing, the "Hold the rope" sign is very visible early on, and since that was an RR catchphrase, I would be surprised if it didn't get painted over soon after Brady arrived.
But aside from that, burn it with fire. The lyrics sound like they were written by a middle-schooler, and this variety of rock—whether you call it metal or something else— is just highly amplified noise with no musical hook or interest.
*Archangel, this isn't intended as a shot at you. Everybody's got an opinion when it comes to music, and you're gonna hear them all in response to this.
Cool
No sweat

It's definitely not metal.

I think queefcore is the acceptable term for this genre.
