Edge On The Influence Of Heavy Metal And Rock On His Character
The theme musics of Edge are really loved by the fans throughout the time. The first theme music of age was a stable music with Christian and Gangrel with his side, together they were known as the Brood. The theme is extremely famous among the fans even to this day.
Later, Edge and Christian separated from the Brood and formed a different tag team. Their music was quite famous among the fans as well, it was later used by Edge on a solo basis. After Edge turned babyface, he got a new entrance theme which is actually a heavy metal version of his previous Rock music. It is also loved by the fans.
The WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke to Revolver Magazine where he discussed about the influence of Heavy Metal and Rock on his character. He said;
“When I broke off from Edge and Christian, Rob Zombie was my entrance music and that was important to me. Because that sets the tone, and it also sets the tone for me as a performer because I need something that is going to jump me up. I had some great advice from [wrestler] Michael Hayes, which was “the more you give the audience, the more you’re going to get back.”
“So from that day forward, I came flying through that curtain and I ran side to side, but the music is what’s going to help me do that. From Rob Zombie then to Alter Bridge, and I realize now the serendipity of getting that song and those lyrics, and that riff and Myles [Kennedy, Alter Bridge singer] peeling the paint off the walls, that’s when I realized this is now my music for the rest of my career, because it just fits.
“And I know it fits when I have fans come up and ask, “Did you sing that?” [Laughs] Seriously, when people start to relate to you through the music like that, you know it’s the right place to be.”
