Mixtape: Best of WWE Wrestler Entrance Themes (Licenced)

Hello and welcome to another Mixtape entry. Here's the second of three Mixtapes in three days. Missed yesterday's Mixtape? Click here. In that I celebrate my favourite non-licensed WWE wrestler entrance themes.

Naturally that means today I move onto my favourite licensed themes. Licensed themes are an ever increasing thing in the WWE lately, as it pulls bands that fans might be familiar with, while the music quality is (usually) better too, although you could argue that the non-licensed themes are usually more memorable.

Not familiar with my Mixtapes? Here are the rules.

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong! 

So here are my favourite licensed WWE wrestler entrance themes! Enjoy!

1. Basic Thuganomics - John Cena (John Cena)
2. Here Comes the Money - Naughty by Nature (Shane McMahon)
3. American Bad Ass - Kid Rock (The Undertaker)
4. Get On Your Knees - Age Against the Machine (Jack Swagger)
5. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Hulk Hogan)
6. Ain't No Make Believe - Stonefree Experience (John Morrison)
7. Broken Dreams - Shaman's Harvest (Drew McIntyre)
8. One of a Kind - Breaking Point (Rob Van Dam)
9. Burn in My Light - Mercy Drive (Randy Orton)
10. I Walk Alone - Saliva (Batista)
11. Live for the Moment - Monster Magnet (Matt Hardy)
12. Whatever - Our Lady Peace (Chris Benoit)
13. Slow Chemical - Finger Eleven (Kane)

17. Enter Sandman - Metallica (The Sandman)

Mixtape: Best Debut Singles

Hallo. Welcome to another Mixtape. This is a personal Mixtape, because it's a topic that is purely biased from anyone's perspective.

Today I reveal my favourite debut singles. When a band is new on the scene they have to choose their first single very carefully. They have to hope that the song they release gets the ball running for the sake of their careers. If it flops or worse, is panned, it can destroy careers. It definitely can make a band's career a mountain to climb. But debut singles can work the other way too, it can make a career start brilliantly, but the success is short because they are then a one hit wonder.

Not familiar with the Mixtape? Here are the rules.

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!

No matter how the careers of the band's below went, these songs kick ass in my opinion. Enjoy my favourite debut singles!

1. I Only Want You - Eagles of Death Metal
2. Santa Domingo - Jon Fratelli
3. Fever for the Flava - Hot Action Cop
4. Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja - Lostprophets
5. Romantic Rights - Death From Above 1979

16. Get Your Gunn - Marilyn Manson
17. Institutionalized - Suicidal Tendencies
18. Cowboys From Hell - Pantera

Mixtape: The Best of Guitar Hero

On Monday and Tuesday this week I posted you The Rise and Fall of Guitar Hero, paying homage to the greatness and the unfortunate demise to one of my favourite video game series of all time. I posted the first half on Monday, which you can find here, and the second half yesterday, which you can find here.

But this post is about my favourite songs to play. Now, these songs aren't my favourite songs in the entire series, but a list of songs, proportioned across the six major titles, that are all fun to play if you have the knack for playing the game well. Now, my experience with Guitar Hero is that I'm a decent player, I can play all songs on "Hard" mode (bar two, which is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and "Through the Fire and Flames", both on Guitar Hero III), and a decent selection of songs on "Expert" mode. I have actually completed the first Guitar Hero game on "Expert", but no other. So, I can play a decent bit. So naturally, some of these songs are usually the harder tracks to play, but some are not, some songs, like "Love Me Two Times" by The Doors, aren't too hard, but are just so much fun to play.

But before I show you the list, let me explain what my Mixtapes are about.

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!

I do Mixtapes quite often on this site, so if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and use the tab "Mixtape" you can see other playlists I've created. But without further delay, here are my favourite songs to play in the Guitar Hero series!

1. Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes (Warriors of Rock)
2. Assassin - Muse (World Tour)
3. Spanish Castle Magic - Jimi Hendrix (I)
4. 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson (5)
5. Misirlou - Dick Dale (II)
6. Love Me Two Times - The Doors (World Tour)
7. War Pigs - Black Sabbath (II)
8. Cult of Personality - Living Colour (III: Legends of Rock)
9. Who Was in My Room Last Night? - Butthole Surfers (II)
