I'll be asking the club not to play beats while there is play occurring on the court during the season. I find it a nuisance.

I assume it was just for that game. One idea I think would be cool would be to have some kind of crowd count down for backcourt violation. It seems this year we will be trapping and full court press a lot. If they had some counter that get everyone involved it could build some nice tension on the other team.

I like music being used with momentum. Keep the beats #hatersgonnahate

Haha, I didn't mean to make fun of your thread anon.

I wasn't at the game, although if you're not going into hyperbole mode then it's somewhat amusing for a DJ to think it is in any way appropriate to play entire tracks one after the other. That is bizarre. What happened to Skip? I always thought he did a good job...

Really, my post was in reference to the last 3 or so years of constant complaints about too much music being played and wanting no music played during game play etc.

I go to at least a few games every season and I've never taken issue with the amount of music or choice of music being played. I'm starting to be convinced that it's just part of the nature of being an Adelaidean - if we're not opposed to every minute thing then really what are we good for?

I think some are old school and don't want good old gameplay and crowd noise interfered with. I like grabs of tracks being played when 36ers have momentum, the rhythm can boost the crowd IMO.

Music at the ABC was awful too. Had to walk out the stadium temporarily because the constant loud music gave me a headache.

New leader running the nights entertainment. Remember crowds were lost in QLD with the QLD style of game night. Will be interesting to see how the successful Adelaide crowd go with full blown R&B for the whole season. Unfortunately you will probably only see more of tonight's style as the season goes on.

KET, I'm not a hater of beats during games, I enjoy it when done well. My team trains to beats all the time so I get how it can help bring bounce.

But last night it was just tedious in terms of being played too much and the way it was played, as highlighted above.

It also sent Hodgy loco en el cerebro :-)

For those who were at the game can you confirm if it Paul Bonzor playing the beats?

I think music cheapens the whole deal, especially how NBL teams use it. Do we really need the 1990s blaring to us? It makes us feel like we're watching a relic of the past, and the league should be doing everything it can to get away from that.

haha what?

Yeah, at the quarter time breaks, they put an ad up on the cube. Just a whole bunch of early 90s RnB songs. I assumed the the DJ was there as a pre-promotion for that event.
I just hope they get Skip back for the real season and we don't have to put up with it all year.

"I think music cheapens the whole deal, especially how NBL teams use it. Do we really need the 1990s blaring to us?"

:) My great memory of the Bullets in the early 90's was of a live Big Band playing.... those were the days. I think the Big Band was expensive cause it got smaller and smaller over a couple of seasons.

fwiw... My preference is for less music during the games too. The game builds atmosphere and then you can use music/sound effects sporadically to help build the atmosphere. I went to a Lakers & a Thunder home game last season & from memory, they didn't have constant music. The atmosphere was amazing, & the crowd noise at the Thunder game was crazy-good.

The music last night was terrible, great in a club,
but just distracted and disconnected me from the game.

also hoping they fix up the score board and use it for some game related stuff like who is on the court, scorers and stats,
and not just a constant barrage of adds,
that just stopped me from looking up and not knowing the score.

The stadium is finally being used for concerts! They must be doing some incredible pricing against the entertainment center

Is Skip coming back this season? A mate of mine who normally works with the game night crew hasnt been asked to come back and noone has responded to his emails.

Sounds like the club is going in a new direction with a lot of things this year.

Used to be good out there. The old days are gone forever. New people running the show now.
