I'm putting together my academy video, we'll be done in 8 weeks!!!!!!!! YAY.....
I'm having a hard time picking a song, I wanted originally the rocky theme song, but not sure how that would play out overall. I was then thinking something of Nickelback, I like the beat, but that's more towards relationships and what not.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a song that'll REALLY go well with an academy class graduation? Open to anything, thanks guys.

I would go with 3 doors down. They got some good songs.

It's a tossup between Hinder and Nonpoint.
Personally I'd like to hear Bullet With a Name, but you guys might like Lips of An Angel.GeorgiaCarry.org is an influential civil rights organization committed to not resting until the State of Georgia ceases all infringements upon the people's natural right to keep and bear arms that is protected by both the constitutions of Georgia and the USA.

Definately Bullet With a Name then. You know Nonpoint is from Florida I think, support the home team.

I personally like fast tempo upbeat dance music... but as far as the video, something with a strong meaning behind it... something thatll be like damn that REALLY went well with the graduation for a police academy... I really have no idea
I like nickelback's style, but thast more of a love-relationship type music. I was going to go with the rocky theme song, good message and its known, but Im not really sure now.
It's very hard to pick something, and I have to start working on it now to show the director within a few weeks. whatever you think will fit, thatd be great. Just remember alot of adults will be looking at the video as well, and it has to be approved by the director of the academy. Something that'll definately be remembered.

I have always found Helloween very inspirational...
Helloween - I Can
May I take you higher
Feed well your desire
We won't be forgotten
Foes left slain and rotten
I will have my way
as once before
Others stand in awe
can't scorn at all
I can, I can, I can
make it all again
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna get drowned
I can, I can I can
heed the call again
Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured
will i be the flyer
keep you more inspired
Some will leave here shattred
Wish us tarred and feathered
Show me anyone who doubts our ways
I will laught out loud and I will say
I can, I can, I can
make it all again
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna get drowned
I can, I can I can
make the call again
Can attain ev'rything to leave you sure
I can
i canĦi..i..i..i can!
I can, I can, I can
make it all again
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna get drowned
I can, I can I can
heed the call again

These songs are somewhat heavy metal (sorta 80's hair bands)
Gamma Ray - Heaven Can Wait
Too many people, too much trouble,
too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble,
another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live,
and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Each day a new reason to give up,
each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up,
a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over.
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older.
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live,
and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Let it wait
Let it wait
Let it wait
Let it wait
Our eyes are close but they should be open wide
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside.
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait
Heaven - can wait 'til another day. (heaven)
can wait 'til another day. (heaven)
can wait 'til another day. (heaven)
can wait (heaven)
can wait 'til another day."No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Okay, enough with the lyrics. GEESH!!! Kryptonite by 3 Door Downs is good. It's not to hard, not too soft. Good for the old and the young.
Integrity is doing the right thing even when people aren't looking.

I listened to them, I dunno if it's because I'm too young (25) but I'm having a hard time grasping the concept of those songs in a class graduation video LOL. I've never even heard of these songs before
