12 Incredible Music Tracks You Need To Play Paintball To

Summer is here and there isn’t a better time to grab your semi-automatic marker, body armour and ammunition and prepare for epic paintball war. War paint? Check. Camo gear? Check. You’re gonna need some decent psyche-up music to gear you up too – from iconic ‘80s movie soundtracks to the bass-pumping sounds of Pendulum, wrap your ears around these before heading out to the battlefield…

12. “Gold Dust” by DJ Fresh

With an awesome video to go with it, DJ Fresh kicks proceedings off with this upbeat track to get you in the fighting spirit.

11. “Rockafeller Skank” by Fatboy Slim

The legend that is Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim brings the summer vibes to your paintballing experience. There’s nothing better for your survival chances than a positive mind-set – well, maybe a bigger gun…

10. “Lose Yourself” by Eminem

It goes without saying that whatever impossible situation you find yourself in out on the battlefield, never give in till the final paintball is fired!

9. “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

A little predictable and a cliché workout montage dream, this wouldn’t be a real motivational music list without it.

8. “Rampage” by Kavinsky

Intense driving electro beats from the French producer Kavinsky will soon have you focused and ready for action.

7. “Propane Nightmares” by Pendulum

Just one of many epic bangers from the Australian/British drum-and-bass outfit we all know as Pendulum.

The atmospheric centrepiece and musical spine of The Terminator, courtesy of Brad Fiedel. Don’t pretend you haven’t ‘done an Arnie’ whilst paintballing…

5. “Titanium” by David Guetta

Be careful not to actually think that you are made from titanium; false confidence may lead to quicker eliminations! Still, a real monster of a track, we think you’ll agree.

4. "Ride of the Valkyries" from Apocalypse Now Soundtrack

Who says classical music is boring? The stirring Ride of the Valkyries (originally composed by Wagner) perfectly represents the rush of imminent combat. Soak it up.

3. “Levels” by Avicii

A proper earworm, this one. Ideal really, as it keeps the adrenaline flowing and the body pumped.

2. "Barber’s Adagio for Strings" by William Orbit

Getting in the zone for paintball and trance music conveniently go together, and this dramatic classic from Will Orbit represents the very best of the genre’s halcyon days.

1. The A-Team Theme Tune

The Mac Daddy theme tune of all theme tunes – no battle scenario should be entered without the familiar military drum beat and brass band accompaniment that symbolises the awesomeness of the A-Team. With this playing, it’ll almost be as if the boys are there with you as you unleash a full hopper of paintballs upon your fleeing foes!
