WWE entrance music has the ability to spark a real emotion with fans. Although some pump your adrenaline and get you excited, others, like Kanes iconic music, can invoke fear in just about anyone.
The song Slow Chemical by Finger Eleven was used as Kanes entrance music in WWE from 2002 to 2008. The track was created after WWE provided the band with a basic concept to build from, but that doesnt mean it was something the entire band was gung ho about. After all, fans are very protective of that song, so he had reason to be careful.
The lead singer for the band Finger Eleven, Scott Anderson, recently opened up about how that WWE theme song came about while speaking to the Jeremy White Show. He was also not very sure about the idea when it first came around for the band. That being said, once he heard what his band put together with Kanes entrance music in mind, he was all aboard.
WWEs Forceable Entry album dropped in 2002, and it featured entrance themes by major rock and metal artists. Other than Finger Eleven, other tracks included Legs by Kid Rock, Never Gonna Stop The Black Cat Crossing Mix by Rob Zombie, The Beautiful People WWF Remix by Marilyn Manson, and Rollin Dead Man Mix by Limp Bizkit.
Finger Eleven wrote the song specifically for Kane, shaping it around WWEs theme that was originally written by Jim Johnston. In addition to its use in professional wrestling, Slow Chemical was also featured on the official soundtrack for the 2004 film The Punisher, according to posts shared on Facebook.
WWE has a ton of variations of classic wrestling entrances. The Finger Eleven version of Kanes song still stands out as notable for some. Obviously, it also made a big memory with the band themselves.
