martoon Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Took ages for me to like Colin's version as it screamed 1986 for years after. It eventually grew on me. However, I'm a maroon/white/maroon, never leave Gorgie, Hector version loving, traditionalist. The Hearts team should come out to his version. My teenage nephew prefers Colin's. Play the 80s version at half time/as the players come back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Same here. Thought it was a shite decision last week after so long away to have the teams come out to the Chisolm version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletes Feet Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Personally prefer the 80’s version… based on zero facts, I think we start better when that’s played vs Hector version. Feels more energetic and gets the crowd going more… As I say - zero facts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Both are fine, as is the Frightened Rabbit version. Hector’s version is the original one though so gets pre-eminence in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatsd Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Love both of them. That said I don’t think there is a better sound than the Hector Nicol version on a sunny day at tynecastle. There’s a certain bit of magic to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixHearts Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I prefer the Hector Nicol version every time but if we're being totally honest there needs to be a new Crust Punk version done. Or grindcore. I'm not picky. Edited August 28, 2021 by PhoenixHearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlett Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I grew up with Hector Nicols version so I prefer that. You know the version of that which I can’t stand? When the fans sing it at 100mph like the world’s going to end. Take your time Lads n Lassies and sing it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleLafferty Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hectors version is too slow and not fast enough before a game. However it should be played after games once we’ve won. 80s before, Hectors after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I reckon the team should walk onto the park with 'Marchin' Thru Gorgie' blasting around the ground, a great foot tapping song that would almost certainly get the crowd going.
