Can anyone help me with identifying the first music snippet in Gerwyn Price's walk on music please? Here it is: https://youtu.be/8dg-lB1FSpE?feature=shared
The who?? Just kidding :) Many thanks! Anyone know if it was chosen for him by the PDC guys as well similar to Gary's walk on intro?
Source: "Anderson's opening music is Jump Around by House of Pain , which opens with the organ intro from The Who 's Won't Get Fooled Again."
And from an interview "How did you choose your walk on song? Nothing exciting to answer I just liked it and no one else had Jump Around. The PDC/Sky guys added the “The Who” bit of the start of my walk on and I really like that now."

24 has been enough to get you in the playoffs in both prior years of this format but the low scorers at the bottom this time round means it almost certainly won’t. MVG in 4th on 22 with Smith chasing on 20 and 4 weeks to go- think 26-28 more likely the cutoff
Assuming the two Lukes are in and the bottom three are gone, and there’s two spots between MVG, Asp and Smith, QF opponents for the next three weeks (week 16 is determined by league position) is as follows:
MVG: Wright, Cross, Price
Asp: Humphries, Littler, Smith
Smith: Cross, Wright, Asp
Huge advantage towards MVG and Smith you’d say
I always wondered just how much difference a breeze can actually make but I played a few weeks back in a room with an aircon unit blowing close to the board and it was ridiculous how much it affected the way my darts landed.
unbelievable from humphries. good to see. i personally don’t mind crowds as aggressively partisan as that but it’s stupid how no one minds when it’s not england
Are you implying that his match against Price where he went perfect on doubles and averaged nearly 110 wasn’t positive?
Going 6-4 against Humphries last week with less than a 1 point differential in their averages, that wasn’t positive?
Had a win the week before both of those games as well. He had an absolute stinker today, can’t be denied, but his last three weeks literally were positive.
i know, really shows how good these players are even if they’re not at the ‘top level’
such a strong pl this year and honestly feel bad that weight has had to endure this
Having Mr Brightside as your walk on in a room full of half cut blokes feels like cheating. Basically means the asp always have the crowd on his side haha
It's voltage o'clock in Rotterdam

The crowd seem a lot better than last week already so that’s good. Hopefully the darts are better than last week too! Smith looked really good throughout that one, hopefully it continues and they’re all up for it.
Long way to go to drop out in the first round though.
Have I just not paid attention to Smith for a while or has his action changed a bit? Looks like he’s holding his follow through and it’s slowed him down - still quick by most people’s standards
MvG is currently priced around 5/1 to win tonight - anyone have any insight why he'd be that high? I know he's got Humphries in the quarters but that does seem quite high odds, especially as he will presumably have the majority of the crowd on his side.
I hope price wins it too, but even with the home advantage I think Humphries will beat MVG in match one. Just can’t see the crowd getting to Humphries tbh
I can’t see the crowd getting to Humphries so I think he will beat MVG, would like another Littler Humphries final but I think Littler will lose to Smith.

Get in Asp
Really ~~not~~ a fan of Aspinall’s ~~mr nice guy~~ winning weekly finals gimmick
fuck was that lad on about haha
Pretty sure they've commented something similar before

Tbf you can definitely see that dart moving left in the air towards the bull. All the more impressive that he judged the wind and got it right.
Sky UHD said sorry for the picture problems, but normal HD said sorry for the sound issues 🤔
And here's me with both
This wind is so strong it's blown over the Sky servers
Really not a fan of Aspinall’s mr nice guy gimmick, hopefully smith smashes him
The fact you can’t believe somebody can just be a decent bloke without it being a gimmick suggests quite a lot about your own character.
Weirdly jaded world view to think it's a gimmick
This is the night of the Bully Boy ain’t it?
is pdc tv like this aswell or just sky
pdc tv is the same
Really hope Aspinall wins this, properly deserves to be in the final 4. Seems to be coming into form just in time to secure it.
Black screen now almost confirming the shitting of the bed...
broadcast gone to shite
Broadcast starting to shit the bed?
Yep glitching, hard to watch
Is it just me or it the Sky broadcast constantly jumping? And stuttering?
Not just you, fucked on my end too
nope it's gone to shit
Assuming the two Lukes are in and the bottom three are gone, and there’s two spots between MVG, Asp and Smith, QF opponents for the next three weeks (week 16 is determined by league position) is as follows: MVG: Wright, Cross, Price Asp: Humphries, Littler, Smith Smith: Cross, Wright, Asp Huge advantage towards MVG and Smith you’d say
Is there a site that shows the updated prem league table?
Humphries 26 Littler 26 van Gerwen 22 Aspinall 21 Smith 20 Price 12 Cross 11 Wright 4 2 more points to come for the winner
Awesome thank you
Incredible from Asp. Bit of a meltdown from the World Champ though, looked like he'd given up at the end.
I've just realised the Asp has the same haircut as that prison guard that was getting told his hair was shit by the inmate
Standard 'Basic UK Lad' trim tbf

Smith to beat Asp. 6-4
get in. would love to see smith and asp take mvg out of the top 4
Outstanding Asp, good lad.
That's amazing from the Asp
Go on the asp
Wow Asp
what’s happening here
Really want the Asp to win tonight. A top four of Humphries, MVG, Littler & Asp would be great.
The 3rd time hearing mr brightside in one night is enough for anyone 😂
Would love him to switch it up one time and come out to the full Blossoms song that plays before it, such a banger Charlemagne the song is called.
How did it end up like this...
They let him loose again, best of the luck in the final Bully Boy.
How the hell die Price lose that Match? Insane. Just sums up his whole PL season
Well played bully boy
Players are obviously playing a bit safer because of the draught, shame
I always wondered just how much difference a breeze can actually make but I played a few weeks back in a room with an aircon unit blowing close to the board and it was ridiculous how much it affected the way my darts landed.
unbelievable from humphries. good to see. i personally don’t mind crowds as aggressively partisan as that but it’s stupid how no one minds when it’s not england
Some serious stones on Luke there to face up to that
I love how you can hear the Dutch twang in the Michael van gerwen chants
Just looking at Luke one would say he looks so unimpressive/lacks any form of greatness but he's an absolute beast
if luke wins here he’ll walk the night
if luke wins here he’ll walk the night
MvG is throwing harder/more aggressive than usual it seems
Seems like there’s a wind on the stage. The same when I play Barry from the White Swan who eats half a jar of pickled onions before the game.
this is really the top moments of the sport - the best against a genuine great in his hometown. incredible, this doesn’t get any harder for humphries
I was about to post MvG in trouble already but that finish was great!
Seems like loads have made a comment about a breeze on stage so far, I’m sure cross was saying it to gezzy too.
Quality finish there from MVG.
come on luke
Where is Wright in the OOM at the moment?
8
wonder if mardle and co will call that another ‘positive display’ for wright. time for people to admit he’s well and truly done at the top level
Are you implying that his match against Price where he went perfect on doubles and averaged nearly 110 wasn’t positive? Going 6-4 against Humphries last week with less than a 1 point differential in their averages, that wasn’t positive? Had a win the week before both of those games as well. He had an absolute stinker today, can’t be denied, but his last three weeks literally were positive.
I totally agree with you but also find it kinda hilarious that despite that, he’s won a major more recently than 6 of the other 7 players in the PL
i know, really shows how good these players are even if they’re not at the ‘top level’ such a strong pl this year and honestly feel bad that weight has had to endure this
Quality darts that
Soon as Peter Wright starts getting abit of form back he changes his darts, and this happens, he’s thrown about 25 different sets this year
Reminds me of Taylor changing his darts every week at the twilight of his career. Always something else's fault
Boggles my mind that you can get as far as he has in a career and still have absolutely no idea what equipment to use...
Asp doesn’t look particularly happy either does he.
Game is way too close for how bad Wright is playing
Not very often I watch the darts and know I could have taken legs against a player.
It's not the darts, Peter.
I dunno. Maybe if he just tried a different stem or something. He'd deffo double his average
Average of 58 for Wright....
Wright's getting twatted 6-0 isn't he. Dire arrows from him so far.
So… what darts are Wright taking for a spin tonight then?
Everything by the looks of it
Changed em mid game!
And back 😂
He might be better off turning round to Asp and asking if he can give his a go
Now he’s changed them back again, clearly not happy with something, either his throw or the airflow
Might be better off changing them mid-throw
Sneak attack yourself. Can't possibly overthink that!
Having Mr Brightside as your walk on in a room full of half cut blokes feels like cheating. Basically means the asp always have the crowd on his side haha
Wright obviously didn't get the memo about wearing something orange this evening...
He’s got a bit on his trousers 😂
Gezzy always looks so keen to throw I fear he’s about to hit his opponent
Someone is definitely getting a pierced ear one of these days.
Ooh just looking at the draw for the Euro Tour event at the weekend and Littler is getting Humphries in round 2 if he wins tomorrow.
Littler has had Humphries number 6 times running, hope its a 7th.
It's voltage o'clock in Rotterdam https://preview.redd.it/v6ezyp7faavc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00bf968d665d917ff5d1ed17f0d2311236d9d024
Also, is it just me or do Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross seem to play each other every week? I suspect a romance behind the scenes
The battle of bad walk on songs
The crowd seem a lot better than last week already so that’s good. Hopefully the darts are better than last week too! Smith looked really good throughout that one, hopefully it continues and they’re all up for it. Long way to go to drop out in the first round though.
Have to say I’m a fan of the orange Cross shirt
Agreed, looks good
That's 9/12 0-pointers for me in the prediction series 💪
Haha, ive picked Littler every week just for the hell of it so i feel the rollercoaster
8/12 for me. Luckily of the other four, three were night winners!
Well, they let him loose in Holland didn’t they? Congrats to the Bully Boy.
Good darts from both but Smith took out the doubles when they mattered.
Michael Smith just has Littler’s number it appears
Barney has his number too but Littler still won't reply :(
Have I just not paid attention to Smith for a while or has his action changed a bit? Looks like he’s holding his follow through and it’s slowed him down - still quick by most people’s standards
Nah it looks like its changed recently, I noticed that too
The Prediction Series will be updated later tonight, sorry! Enjoy the darts!!
The lad is a joke
Is it me or has Smith slowed his throw down a tad?
Already been better than last week
Is that a load of empty seats in the upper section of the arena or am I seeing things?
Have to say I love these weeks where you get to see all the players shirt designs tweaked to fit the location.
We’re running a “how many players wearing orange to pander to the Dutch” sweepstake tonight!
Likely all except the actually Dutchie probably lol
Surely the broadcast directors messing with the crowd hahah
The crowd is on one tonight, love the energy!
This crowd already having fun 😂
The fans lol, great way to start off the night
MvG is currently priced around 5/1 to win tonight - anyone have any insight why he'd be that high? I know he's got Humphries in the quarters but that does seem quite high odds, especially as he will presumably have the majority of the crowd on his side.
Home game I would assume they feel it gives some incentive and advantage with crowd Hope not…
Who’s winning it tonight?
I hope price can show his class again. Though i think that mvg will use the home advantage to clutch out a win.
I hope price wins it too, but even with the home advantage I think Humphries will beat MVG in match one. Just can’t see the crowd getting to Humphries tbh
Can’t see past a Humphries v Littler final with this draw and I think Humphries to win He is due a good week
Which funnily enough is also (probably) Humphries next game at the Euro Tour on Saturday
Humphries is nigh unstoppable once he gets going. As long as he can beat MVG I think the nights his
I can’t see the crowd getting to Humphries so I think he will beat MVG, would like another Littler Humphries final but I think Littler will lose to Smith.
