I've not been able to follow/take them seriously since the Napster days I don't think. I always think of Jim Bruer when I hear Metallica now, lol.

The problem is you need a long instrumental intro without the lyrics, that the reason the Disturbed song works.  I realize it's looped now, but still the longer the intro before the lyrics, the less it's looped.  There's tons of songs with catchy riffs and beats at the beginning of them, but the lyrics start within a few seconds.  You can't loop a 10 second intro for that long (player introductions) without it sounding bad.

Interesting post. The disturbed remix of Down with sickness was being played since 2012. It was made with extra drum loops to allow the Top Cats and percussion to play and dance along in rhythm. I know, I made the track. What people don't know for 2 years we play a different song for the players inside the tunnel when they come out of the locker room when the blue light comes on (Charles Johnson suggestion). The warm up music is designed for the players and usually has a lot of play requests. The game music is all over the place to cover all the different tastes of the fans as Charlotte is very diverse. Everything from Drake to Five Fingered Death Punch to country to 90's hip hop. Very little if any jock jams. We are actually rated by the NFL #3 in total entertainment (they have a rep at every game scoring every song and break through the game. 

In saying all this, this year everything is up for re-evaluation and I expect some changes in music and direction. Fans have a lot of input in music is why it's so diverse but I expect with new ownership to have more freedom to be exciting. People who give lam ass comments of outdated don't go to games and see the variety played. And it's loud sometimes to cover up the fans are not getting loud enough themselves and volume makes people get louder as well. 

Lets hope for a great season with loud fans and a energy filled stadium. New ownership is awesome and we should expect only good things moving forward.

My lame ass comments of outdated comes from being a PSL owner going to every game since the 90s. I’m in my early 30s.

It also comes from the fact I’ve been to Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas, DC, San Fran, and Nashville stadiums recently. Have you? I would say the stadiums entertainment is not top 3 even from just those stadiums let alone out of 30.

I’m not attacking your job personally I’m simply speaking from experience. Saying the disturbed song has a long intro that can be looped and that is why it has been used for almost ten years seems lazy to me to be honest. There are other options and ways to tailor/remix songs without vocals to make it work. Can’t think of a good reason to play the same song for almost a decade.

Sweet Caroline is a song about an affair. Adultery. And has absolutely nothing to do with the Carolinas other than Caroline, someone’s name, sounding *almost* like Carolina, the state. Again not sure why this is still a song played after a win.

During games though and warm ups, pre-game, I can say what is played is pretty decent.

I’ve lived all over the US and Charlotte’s music tastes are anything but diverse. 80% hip hop rap 19% country, 1% everything else.

Sorry for the lame ass comment but it's not accurate. It's my job to know it all and all the people that come in there. I have been to Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas, even NO, Baltimore, Tampa & NYG. I listen and get to tour behind the scenes and understand what and why they do what they do. If you've been to games you know the music is gradually changing over the last 7 years and now under new ownership, it's gonna get even better. I have even gotten player input when they would play what players wanted years ago.

I was told to play Sweet Caroline since before I started, just like the TD song. If I had my way we would play "All I do is win". I made the intro loop because that is what they wanted and still wanted. But now, new rules so it's gonna be exciting. I DJ multiple events all over Charlotte and its very diverse. I've polled fans at games, had people text me requests and they are all over the place. EDM house is huge. Mash ups are in. 90's hip hop and early 2000's is the biggest request along some good 80's classic rock. What % IDK.
