I sure hope this isn't a long-term thing. No offense to Allen, but this song is just.... embarrassing. Too funky to be heavy, but too generic to really get much of a funk groove going. Ugh. WTF is up with our LAME intro songs? Wish they'd just make a generic dubstep beat or heavy metal, that'd be better than this.

Well, at least he's not Jerry Jones or Al Davis, and lets the GM pick the players. God, I hope this isn't a long-term thing, because that song is just WACK AS F@#$K!!!

I like it. It's not a great hit or anything, but I'd hardly call it embarrassing.

Of course it's a joke, they are more than likely going to go with the old stand by, "I Walk The Line" Jebus christy, somethings really f576ked up when something like this ruins your day. Make a suggestion for an intro song that we'd ALL agree to, ( like that's going to happen) then send to Owner, 1st Fan, Paul Allen eh?

I suggest anything by Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society. That's some pump you up music.

As I side note, I do love the new TD celebration song.

Not playing for me right now, I'll have to check it out later. No matter what, I can't imagine it can be any worse than Bittersweet Symphony, that was the worst intro song in the history of intro songs.... and that's not even an opinion, that's a fact!

Bittersweet Symphony is THE BEST. I was happy to hear it still being used in some capacity.

I would take Paul Allen's band over dubstep any day. I can't stand womp womps.
EDIT: Now that I've listened to it, this song isn't that bad. Even if it was, the guy saved our Hawks from leaving town, so he can do what he damn well wants to with the music. At least he put in the effort to write and record his own music for the games. Props for that.

Ditto. I think it's reasonable for an intro, IMHO.
Hey, if this is all it takes to keep a super owner like Allen around I'm all for it. Rock on Paul!

Remember, this team is Paul's legacy. He knows that he could be gone any day if the cancer comes back yet again (as horrible as that sounds). He wants to show his love for the team and leave something behind in the way he knows. He brought in designers to create the greatest stadium, the best practice facilities, went and got great coaches, stuffed all the places with great technology. He loves music. He is creating a song for his team that he owns. Cool tribute. I am sure someday when Paul is gone everybody who is griping about this will say how cool it is that Paul expressed himself in the form of art that he knows best and left something to his team that was personal. He's not a big talker or a guy who gets real involved. The closest I've seen in emotion from the guy is when he made a brief appearance on the field after the NFCCG. I think it's cool that he's done something personal for a team that he clearly loves.

Yeah but that's my point. I LOATHE dubstep, but at least it's kinda trendy and new. This song was embarrassing because it just sounds tacky, like old classic rock elevator music, doesn't get me jacked up AT ALL.
I just wish we had something that was intense as our team. Something that actually got the crowd fired up. Personally, I'd LOVE it if they played something like this:

This song makes me want to beat somebody up because it is so awful. Maybe our Hawks will think the same.

Thank you Shark for the classy post. And thank you Hans for the Slayer embed.
As far as the song goes, it's very generic, but not bad by any means. It could easily pass mustard as a background song in a television show. Is it appropriate for a football experience? No. But it's not like it's horrible or anything.

Yep.
I don't get all the hand wringing over an intro song....geesh. Is it really that important?
Answer: No.
Good on ya, Paul.
