But what\u2019s running through your head? Maybe you should be thinking about your strategy for when you enter the game zone. But instead there\u2019s that annoying song you heard on the car radio this morning \u2013 going over, and over, and over again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Sound familiar? Don\u2019t worry, it happens to the best of us. This is why we here at Go Ballistic are here to provide you with some of the most inspirational, motivating songs for you to listen to before you reign supreme in the paintball arena. Check them out below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Europe \u2013 The Final Countdown<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Swedish band Europe count down the seconds until you load up that hopper and pull the trigger with this hard rock classic from 1986. The song is based around an apocalyptic yet optimistic trip to Venus \u2013 but instead we can pretend that it\u2019s about a trip to one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/go-ballistic.co.uk\/\">UK paintballing venues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Rage Against The Machine \u2013 Guerrilla Radio<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The late nineties saw a few rap metal bands come to the limelight. One of these bands, Rage Against The Machine, proved to be rather successful with their signature brand of politically charged tunes. This one will get you psyched up, for sure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Drowning Pool \u2013 Bodies<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u2018Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor&#8230;\u2019. This nu metal classic from 2001 is perfect pre-paintballing listening material \u2013 hence the name. Although it can be used as a perfect paintballing soundtrack, it has been the theme song for a number of WWE events and has been featured in various films, TV programmes and advertisements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>The Prodigy \u2013 Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">This wouldn\u2019t be a motivational music list without a healthy dose of drum n\u2019 bass. Pendulum get the job done well on this classic from English electronic legends The Prodigy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Fort Minor \u2013 Remember the Name<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park formed an alternative hip hop group who released this banger back in 2005. The motivating lyrics can be applied to all kinds of sports, including paintball, as it has been included numerous times throughout television and advertisements in many countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Roy Jones Jr \u2013 Can\u2019t Be Touched<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No, you\u2019re not seeing things. Considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, Roy Jones Jr, holds multiple world titles in four weight divisions. Turns out, he isn\u2019t too shabby behind the microphone, either. This upbeat song is perfect listening material if you\u2019re looking to knock out your opponents (I\u2019ll grab my coat).<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Disturbed \u2013 Indestructible<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">This is the third single from American heavy metal band Disturbed\u2019s fourth album. Representing the band\u2019s success in the music industry, the song is also known for encouraging troops who are about to embark on the fiercest of battles \u2013 game on!<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>DJ Khaled \u2013 All I Do Is Win<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">This 2009 hip hop song from DJ Khaled will get you more than pumped for a paintball battle. Numerous sports teams from around the world have used this anthem as their walk on tune. You should do the same.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Kanye West \u2013 Power<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Kanye West released Power as his lead single from his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The title of the track says it all, with its powerful lyrics combining with the tribal-warfare backing track, you\u2019ve got a recipe for a perfect motivational track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>Survivor \u2013 Eye Of The Tiger<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">American rock band Survivor provide the motivation right until you step into the ring\u2026I mean, the paintball arena. It really wouldn\u2019t be an inspirational music list without this song, would it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">So there we have it, a list of songs which will hopefully keep you hyped-yet-focused throughout the duration of your paintball battle!
