Rocktober

All they have to do is break down and play FWTBT when Holliday comes to bat, and this thread is no longer hijacked :wink:

Is Rocktober before or after Smarch?

I always wondered if your screenname was a Metallica reference. After reading this, I'm pretty sure it is.

 

Cliff Burton (RIP) + best Metallica song (For whom the bells toll) = Burtonbell

 

I also use it for Burton C Bell from Fear Factory, one of my fav bands back in the day.

 

For Whom the Bell Tolls is my favorite Metallica song also. I just get chills from the first 2 minutes of the song.

 

That would be an awesome song to have as your "entrance music" (relief pitcher, UFC Fighter, et. al. Sadly, Metallica would likely not allow it.)

I'm surprised you guys both say it's your favorite. Definitely not a bad song, but it probably wouldn't make my top 15 by them.

 

Also, I don't think playing clips from the song for a brief period at the start of an AB violates copyright rules, so not even Metallica could shoot it down. Sort of like how we're allowed to post quotes from linked articles here, but can't post the whole thing.

 

I can't recall specific instances in the majors, but I know there were several players from Oakland's AAA team that used clips from songs off Puppets, and they aren't far at all from Metallica's hometown of San Fran.

 

Doesn't Mariano Rivera come in to gaves with 'Enter Sandman' playing?
