The Chain, who else misses it?

[pits]

Since the dawn of time The Chain has been the best F1 track ever, as it came on Radio 2 earlier it made me realise how much I miss it from the F1 intro, and how crap the current "just drive"(?) Track is.
Is it time that we try and get it back for Sky F1? Because this was awesome, just needs more Murray Walker and it's perfect.

Yes

Just drive is quite good i think. used first for an end of season montage. On that subject the best end of season montage has to be the one with my chemical romance.

The Chain is all part of the excitement build-up for the race for me, it is one of the reasons I watch C4 when they have full coverage and Sky only when C4 are not live (the main reason being DC's input).

[F1GTRUeno]

Grew up knowing it as the F1 song long, long before I ever knew it was what it was.

Probably a big reason for being a Fleetwood Mac fan.

[Blayney]

Keep it on C4. bks to Sky. Just get Brundle off them, all live on C4. Job jobbed.

[Mr Tidy]

C4 for me all the way - Sky can go and do one! Money-grabbing tw*ts.

Was this thread inspired by a BBC trailer/ad for Radio 2 live lounge ,with random popsters singing this tune ?

Probably substitute ruining for singing.

Harry Styles of One Direction fame. I thought he did a fair job of it, certainly didn't ruin it!

Better than his acting in Dunkirk at least

Aye, nobody will ever do a better job of it but as a Live Lounge cover he did alright!

[f1rob]

Listen to the show ponies version on YouTube
Never thought the original could be bettered but this gives it a run

[Debaser]

Have C4 stopped using The Chain? I didn't notice what music they played yesterday.

No, they play The Chain at the start of every one of their F1 shows.

To be fair the girl off the voice did a way better job last year...

Anyway - the chain will always be the F1 music IMO

Ignore me, I'm unable to read the OP correctly....

[The Moose]

Not me. I hear it every time!

I remember being at the Silverstone campsite a few years ago during F1 weekend in the big tent when the band played it. I swear the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as soon as the first few notes and drum beat were played. One of my favourite live music experiences and I have no idea who the band were. The place went nuts.
