ECW Extreme Music

Various Artists

Edit

If you're an ECW fan, you shouldn't need much convincing to buy this album. I noticed that none of the reviewers went through song-by-song and gave you the ECW credentials for each, so I'll go ahead and do that here.

This is Extreme! - First original ECW theme, used on ECW TV until 1999.

El Phantasmo - Lance Storm's theme song from the Impact Players era.

Walk - Rob Van Dam's theme song from the Mr. Monday Night/Whole F'n Show era.

Trust (Instrumental) - ECW promo theme song, used during countless ads for upcoming tour dates.

The Zoo - Used by Bam Bam Bigelow as his first theme song, and the theme song for Mike Awesome during the first few months of his reign as champion.

Enter Sandman (Motorhead) - Sandman never used this song as his arena entrance theme, but it's the version that's dubbed over for his entrances on the ECW DVDs by Pioneer.

Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck - Theme song used by Justin Credible for most of his ECW tenure.

Phantom Lord (Anthrax) - No real ECW ties that I know of.

Heard it on the X - Also no real ECW ties that I know of.

Kick Out the Jams - Again, no real ECW ties that I know of.

Big Balls (Muscadine) - Probably the weakest track on the album, and never used by Balls Mahoney in ECW. Balls used a cover of this tune, but the instrumetal was done by Boner, and he sang it himself.

Huka Blues - Phenomenal Sabu theme song, used from 1998 to the time he left the promotion in 2000.

Again, I'm rating the CD as an ECW fan, and I'll happily give it four stars. I'd give it five if not for the songs that ECW never used. In any event, happy shopping!
