To all you OTB Players...

So, like in the WWE, each wrestler has his own "entry music" that plays as he makes his way to the ring, right?

Now, I was thinking, how cool would it be to have the song of your choice blasting as you make your way to the chessboard, entourage in tow, for a high-stakes, high-pressure OTB chess game..

Which song would you use and why?  Please discuss.

(P.S.: I'm not sure if they do this yet in Chess Boxing, but if they don't its a crying shame)

Such a tradition seems out of place for such a noble, refined sport as chess...it's supposed to simulate war, not stimulate it.  It would generate some hype for chess boxing, though, I would agree, but the money's just not there if the fact that the WCBO main page has a sign-up link is any indication.

Still, in going with the question, I'd probably use Ride the Lightning by Metallica.  Such a sweet opening riff.

Well I checked out this chess boxing video and it seems like "Back in Black" by AC/DC was playing as one of the contestants made his way to the ring!
