Project Anthem

[The Moose]

The doom-laden bells were sounding at the start of the 2nd half, and were ignored. Then again, with the sound system in the Upper Holte, it might have been feedback....

[Villan For Life]

The single, funerial bell that tolled at the sound of the second half was awful.

The peal of bells at the end sounded great but with several versions of the song doing the rounds I guess that it was always doomed to end in failure.

Reminded me solely of an AC/DC concert

[D.boy]

I heard the bell as the teams came out for the second half and immediately thought of Hells Bells intro by ACDC.

[The Villa Werewolf]

I expected these two two walk out.

Loved the bells at the final whistle, though, that'll be a nice tradition after wins.

[D.boy]

Bloody hell Gold & Sullivan have put some weight on.

[UK Redsox]

All that bells nonsense was the worst idea I've seen/heard at Villa Park. It really added to the sense of doom pre-game. Hardly the most uplifting thing that could be played, was it.

As for the videos of people singing "Bells of ringing". Wow, gathering that many people without singing voices together in one place must have taken a lot of work. I know that people put a lot of effort into this, but IMO it was terrible.

Prefer Hi Ho Aston Villa at the final whistle to be honest.

Only heard a few half hearted renditions during the game.

We joined in one which was killed at birth by another chorus of "Joey Barton what a w****r"

Nobody knows the proper tune

The fueral bells were weird - thought Sabs were touring again

[SoccerHQ]

Yeah, while not having the historical link, Hi Ho Aston Villa does succeed in having people belt it out at the final whistle if we've just won.

I think I'd just prefer them to re-promote that than tarnish bells are ringing.

[wozwebs]

They need to trim first 40 seconds of the bells and go straight into the tune, far too long an intro

couldn't agree more

[Des Little]

I don't think it worked at all I'm afraid.  To be honest I'm not a fan of the song personally but there you are - it's all about opinions I guess.

[SX150]

Needs to be played at 45rpm rather than 33rpm. So slow its enough to send you to sleep. The original version sang by the fans all them years ago is still was favourite chant.

[JJ-AV]

They should get a proper recording done of it, like the Judy Garland version but with edited lyrics. It doesn't need a guitar or to be intimidating, it needs to be something we want to sing along to.
