3 songs to get Vegas Golden Knights fans pumped up for the 2024-25 season
Music is a beautiful medium that makes the world go around. Different genres convey different emotions and feelings within us, whether it's happiness, focus, or sadness. They also keep us from going insane, providing us with an escape from the real world. Having good music in your head goes a long way in exploring different universes, including T-Mobile Arena and other stadiums.
That's why you saw a playlist on the post about my trip to Anaheim. Driving through the Mojave Desert requires music, specifically, if you're seeing the Vegas Golden Knights play. Want to turn on some Panic at the Disco? Let's write sins, not tragedies. Maybe you want to explore your warrior side with The Hu? Get your war chants ready and say "Yuve Yuve Yu."
Perhaps you want to climb a "Stairway to Heaven" when driving to California. Let's get Led Zeppelin going and explore the Golden State's beautiful mountains. The point is music provides people with a blank canvas for their imagination. It also resonates with us through real-life experiences, including dealing with a bad breakup or losing a loved one.
Now let's explore the playlist Golden Knights fans should be bumping in the coming days. There are some tunes that fans will recognize, regardless of if they're on the Strip or inside T-Mobile Arena. So why not fire up Spotify and start banging your heads to the upcoming hockey season? Here are three songs that should be in the rotation as the Golden Knights make their long-awaited return.
Vegas Lights, Panic at the Disco
"Vegas Lights" by Panic at the Disco is the official goal horn of the Vegas Golden Knights. It's played every time the team buries a puck past the opposing goaltender. The fans hear this and wait for the accompanying slot machine sounds after the fact, signifying that Golden Knights hockey is, indeed, back.
Originally, the goal horn didn't do much for me. It was up-tempo, but it was too chaotic. However, it takes a few listens to grasp the song's messaging, which talks about the fun times in Sin City. Who doesn't love a good time where you're swimming with the sharks until you drown?
Playing the goal song is always necessary when preparing for a new NHL season. You want to practice celebrating those good times and chanting along with the words. It also gives you something to look forward to as you head back to T-Mobile Arena, making game days much more fun.
"Yuve Yuve Yu", The Hu
This song always stuck out as a warrior song. The Hu has the war chants and battle cries down to a tee. The Mongolian band brings out your inner fighter with this song, where hockey fans can battle their opponents and claim victory. After all, two points are on the line and you need every ounce of strength to win.
That's the thought I had when hearing this for the first time. It represented Vegas Golden Knights hockey well, offering a vision of the players skating onto the ice. They were emerging from the Golden Knights helmet with smoke surrounding the arena. The warriors were ready for battle, defending the fortress against any assailants.
That's what makes this the perfect song for people heading to T-Mobile Arena for a hockey game. You're ready to battle alongside the Golden Knights, prepping to defend the fortress. You want the home team to win, so you're singing alongside The Hu to claim victory for Las Vegas.
"From the Pinnacle to the Pit," Ghost
Much like the previous song mentioned, this was one that stood out regarding warrior anthems. Only this had a hockey feel to its music, compared to the predecessors. There's suspense mixed with some impending sense of doom lingering, which other teams will feel when the Vegas Golden Knights hit the ice.
Ghost has always stuck out as a band that you'd listen to for an upcoming NHL game. They get you fired up for the action, right when the players enter the ice. You get pumped for the body checks, the fights, and breakaway goals coming your way, which is why fans should put this on blast.
Native Nevadans should get the car ready and play this before every hockey game. You'll be more pumped when players like Mark Stone or William Karlsson score a goal, much like when Panic at the Disco plays. That way, you're ready to head to the "pit" when the game starts.
