    Lets say you're on death row and before execution, instead of the last supper....
    you were told you could listen to one last song before you died, what would it be?

    Orion by Metallica


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    thats a good one alright..... im still having trouble pin pointing one
    think bodycount - dead man walking would be fitting lol

    it would be a Metallica for me aswell though, "To live Is To Die"....

    "Dazed and Confused" live by Led Zeppelin because it lasts 26 minutes and 53 seconds


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 olly


    i think it would have to be 'the company wont colour me' by Colour of Fire coz its class or "Burn Baby Burn" by Ash to lighten the mood. might as well go out smiling

    "Floods" by Pantera, the way it fades out at the end is just class. If its the last song I ever hear I'll be happy (for a few seconds before I die anyway!).

    The Mears Volta - Cassandra Geminni, so I wouldnt have to die for another half an hour at least.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    tough choice

    a few that come to mind are


    Opeth: White Cluster
    Megadeth: A Tout la Monde
    Ozzy: Mama I'm Coming Home


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    The Beatles - A Day in the Life, from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - on vinyl.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness

    Not only is it the most breathtaking piece of music, ever, it gives me a whole hour to plot my escape or at least greatly wound the ego of the executioner :D

    BBF3 by Godspeed You Black Emperor from the vinyl version of "Slow Riot For A New Zero Kanada". Why? Because it is a locked groove track so it never ends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭Numina


    Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

    Its the best end for anything!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 246 ✭✭Mohanned

    That or Master of Puppets


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Johnny Cash-Hurt
    Metallica-Orion
    Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah

    It's kind of an occasion for an acoustic song I think. Either way, my last request would be to have Hallelujah on a CD player in my ears at the moment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Johnny Cash-Hurt
    Metallica-Orion
    Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah

    You only get one song you greedy bastid. That's it, no songs for you, straight to the chair! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Hmmm... I wonder if the buzz of the electric chair could be converted to a signal and sent to an amp...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    I'm sure Tom Morello could make something of it ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Heh. Or let Kirk Hammett jump up and down on a wah pedal somewhere along the line. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Citizen_Erased


    Boh Rap - Queen

    Because whenever my captors start doing the Bill and Ted routine ( lets face it, everyone does) I would silently slip off into the free world again unoticed! :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭Squirrel


    Thin Lizzy - Sarah, for my girlfriend


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭The Fitz


    Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen, Only song for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    Um, if i wanted to be super depressed going out Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest and Dream Theater - Disappear. Maybe Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, because its 42mins long... or maybe just Metallica - Nothing Else Matters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 953 ✭✭✭superconor


    Highway To Hell by AC/DC because i gotta go out in style!
    Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden because it is one of the best songs ever and its about death row.

    But probably, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Reminds me of my dad, and also its a bloody rocking tune :)

    The Beatles - A Day in the Life, from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - on vinyl.

    i gotta be one of the few who caught that...
    the center groove of the b-side of Sgt. Peppers is 30 seconds of random clips of conversations and music and songs from teh recording of the album. and because it's the center groove, on a vinyl record, it'll repeat until it wears out. which should take something in the region of 5000 listens with an ok set up.

    i'd pick the mercy seat by nick cave.
    or serves me right to suffer by johnny cash.
    or ride the lightning by metallica...

    actually, prolly the outlaw torn.

    Hmmm... I wonder if the buzz of the electric chair could be converted to a signal and sent to an amp...

    Listen to the Tender Prey version of the Mercy Seat by Nick Cave. The electric chair sound is made by a bass plugged into a distortion pedal and hit with drumsticks. But it doesn't really sound like what I imagine an electric chair to sound like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    Dark of My Moon - Gene Clark I think would be a good one to send you off..

    That or maybe Bobby Brown (Goes Down) by Frank Zappa :)

    HIM-Don't Fear The Reaper
    or maybe the good version (the original): by BOC


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Deadnight


    Hmmmmmm...it's between three:

    'Retrovertigo'~Mr. Bungle
    'Written in Stone'~Sinergy
    'A Tout Le Monde'~Megadeth


    Or ''Til Death' by Obituary, because everyone would die laughing when I'd try 'sing/growl/scream' along to it. And I mean DIE laughing....(think of that Monty Python sketch ;))
