Well, it depends. If you want action, I'd put it like this:


A hard rocking tune, if you want to make it a serious action video, or a slow ballad (not a love song, or anything). The words don't have to match 100%, but make sure you get at least a few of them met. Also, make sure you check what the theme of the song is.

i think the song sets the theme for ur amv, as ramonesfan mentioned. action AMV...either a very upbeat rap song with lots of bass or a rock song that is LOUD and plenty of drums. i dont know what ur AMV is about but...

how about...
linkin park- one step closer
missy elliott- lose control
lloyd banks- on fire
J-kwon- get XXX'd
DMX- ruff riders anthem
bonnie tyler- i need a hero
nelly- on the grind
DMX- party up (up in here)
just some suggestions

how dare you tell a newb to use linkin park....shame on you. dont we have enough of those already?


I suggest not using linkin park. So many videos using them are already out there most people will just pass up your video when they see what song you used. I like his other suggestions though.

From Bauzi:
Uhmm... Well the lyrics fit perfectly with the amv :wink: If I wouldn´t speak german, it would doesn´t matter!
how dare you tell a newb to use linkin park....shame on you. dont we have enough of those already?
AMEN!!!!
And: I think Linkin Park songs are not easy to handle. It is diffivult to fit the whole thing well with the music...
missy elliott- lose control
I don´t think it is a good song for a noob!

I think the lyrics are only important for drama-,love- and sentimal-AMV. Just "slow" amvs... In an action amv it is only the energy of the song, that counts.
Energie has for me groups like:
Slipknot or Spineshank
or use O.P.M

If you want a more happy action-AMV choose one song of the "Donots" (<--- hard to fail a good song of them :wink: )
For more wicked things use groups like "Rob Zombie" or "Marilyn Manson"
Or songs like this one:
Deftones - Elite
Deftones - Heads Up
Deftones - Engine No.9

Something with german lyrics, that rocks the house:
Rammstein - Links 2 3 4 (I am not sure If the song has that name, just search for "Rammstein-Links ..." that should do it)

I agree with both of you all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my two cents.

If you wanna make a straight forward action AMV, try stuff like:

Pantera-Shattered
AC/DC-This Means War
Manowar-Violence And Bloodshed
Sammy Hagar-VOA
Dokken-Cry Of The Gypsy
Shinedown-Fly From The Inside
Audiovent-Gravity
Tommy Shaw-Remo's Theme (What If)
And some others I can't think of right now.

If you wanna make an action video that's supposed to be fun, some stuff I recommend are:

Night Ranger-Eddie's Comin' Out Tonight
Kix-Blow My Fuse
Megadeth-Train of Consequences
RHCP-Fight Like A Brave
Skid Row-Piece Of Me
I'm not sure what else fits under this category.

If you're going for an action video that involves an element of drama thrown in, try:

Roger Daltrey-After The Fire
Dennis DeYoung-Warning Shot
Honeymoon Suite-Lethal Weapon
Guns N Roses-Knockin' On Heaven's Door

If I think of any more, I'll post them too.

Whip, do yourself a favor, and just do what you think will work for you.

Enough said.
