Bar fight music - Off-Topic

#1 Posted by Cynically_Happy (38 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

I need help with something, if a bar-fight were to break out what would be the best/most fitting music to be playing in the background?

#2 Posted by Feanor (1348 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

Whatever's on the jukebox when the fight breaks out?

Something with bagpipes.

I don't know, that's just the first thing that came to mind.

This is a song I'm going to use in a screen play bar scene I'm writing. Haha.

Mmm, probably this.

... Just kidding.

@Cynically_Happy:

What's the vibe you're going for? Is it slapstick, darkly comedic, brutally realistic, hyper-violent? So many possibilities.

Uh huh, trust me.

This always sounded like a bar fight song to me for some reason.

How about some video game boss themes?

@Grimhild: I'm not really going for a really dark and grim tone, the violence I'm not really sure about (this is for a random scene I came up with that I may or may not put into a screenplay at some point in the future, so I'm not sure how bloody or brutal I want it to be) but I do want a kind of song that conveys a sense of chaos and franticness as it will be a big fight (20+ patrons involved in the fight)

It goes with everything.

EDIT: I changed my mind. This is the perfect bar fight-background song. Hell, it's the perfect anything-background song.

I guess this would be my second choice:

#20 Edited by PhanThomas (88 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

Well, since it also was a bar fight scene, this music fits perfectly I guess :)

Also for the Irish bar fights - or social gatherings as they call them:

@S0ndor: Was just about to post that upon looking at the title lol

#24 Posted by PeezMachine (105 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

Look, I like you guys, but you're all wrong.

#25 Edited by Schmollian (195 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

Or we could turn the bar fight real dark. The Max Payne way

Seriously, I'd so be in that bar fight.

#28 Posted by Inkerman (1335 posts) - 10 months, 23 days ago

Bad things happen to me when this song plays.

@wewantsthering If you like Nick Cave barfighting music, may I also recommend the Ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane?

Anyway, the entire discography of the Dropkick Murphys would be appropriate for all bar fights, although that'd get tiring if you had to fight that whole time.

Yuzo Koshiro has the answer.

Lots of options with this one but there's a lot from the Dropkick Murphys that would work for this but just about anything over the top/absurd would be good.
