I grew up as a KC Chiefs fan during the early 70s. This anthem/song does remind of all those great Chief-Raider battles during that time. For all my hatred towards anything Silver and Black, I must admit that the Raiders have the coolest anthem.song in the NFL,. Just gives me chills up and down my spine.every time I hear it
I am from Mexico and I have been a Raiders fan since I was 6 years old. Now, I am 42 and in a surrounded by Cowboys, Steelers, the Patriots (the fashion team) and ultimately by Chiefs fans... I am stand alone, always proud of my Raiders. This feeling is very, very profound in my soul and it defined my life. Poise & Pride. Always with the shield. Thanks Raiders!
I was in special Ed when I was kid and I looked up to this team cuse they where the black sheep the underdog the one that wouldn't amount to something, and they became legendary. Just like all us outsider's RN4L
Though a Cowboy fan since young lad in the early 70's when I first discovered football, this is epic and Raiders fans must get chills, hell I do, when they hear this with Facenda narrating. The 70's era had so many teams that would dominate any normal decade, but the likes of Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, Vikings, Rams, and Dolphins were all perennial contenders and then you had the Broncos, Redskins and a few others who had some great seasons...what an era!!!
Omfg this song damn near makes me wanna cry every time i hear it lets go nation time to awaken this beast!!!!!!!! Lets return to glory!! 2016 time to take back the west!!!!!!
Antonio Ramirez dude I almost teared up cause I was in the game when the raiders are playing against panthers at oakland and they play this song before the game shiiiit gooosebumps!
I respect the tribute. I am a Falcons Fan, Atl all the way but I must admit as a NFL fan, you raiders have alot of history. Go Falcons and also Go NFL!!!!!!
Ah, that 1970s Steelers/Raiders rivalry...what a rivalry it was. The Ravens/Steelers rivalry was nothing compared to Raiders/Steelers. As a Steelers fan, it would be nice to see the Raiders get back to their glory days. I think they are on the right track with Jack Del Rio and Derek Carr leading the way.
The Ravens/Steelers rivalry sucks, it's a "I hate you but respect" thing, and those suck, the Raiders/Steelers and NFC east, is a "I pray no one does" thing. Those are the best.
I remember what Gene Upshaw said after Snake came back from missing 3 games, being replaced by pencil neck QB David Humm: .. "There's no more Kool Aid breath in this huddle".
This something they should play before each game over the loudspeakers during home games. The Raiders need to be good again. It is important for football that they matter.
I Love it brings tears to my eyes of the Raiders glory days and players, I grew up in Oakland ,my heart pours out to Oak town and my brothers and sisters, But let me Express my disapproval of political powers that did not Build the Raiders a New Stadium if we are honest they had all those years to give the Raiders and residents of Oakland A new stadium, I don't blame the Raiders one bit.I will always be a Raider and part of Raider Nation until the day I die., But we need to vote every person out office that had anything to do with Raiders not getting a new stadium. Go Raiders ## WJN III
Lions fan here and all I have to say is when I hear voice and song of "Autumn Wind" I get goose bumps. Love the Raiders and can't wait to cheer them on because I have always respected the tradition of the fans and organization. They will always have the respect of the Pistons and Lions fans from the Bad Boy era when Al Davis took care of Isiah Thomas during the 89 championship against the Lakers when the Lakers didn't let the Pistons use their medical facility in the old forum. Al Davis help created the marketing of the Bad Boys of basketball.
This always brings a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye at the same time! Good to see the old Raiders and their winning ways, but it just reminds me of how far the Raiders have fallen from glory! Just looking at the 2012 team and i can honestly say, in a best case scenario, we're 5-7 yrs from being on top again! At Best! Need to blow the whole team up and start from scratch.
R.I.P. Al Davis, and thank you for all you've given us via your love for football. I hope the Raiders take the Lombardi trophy this season. "Pride & Poise, Commitment to Excellence, and Just Win, Baby!"
Been a Raiders fan since the Dark Ages, with #2 at the helm. He's so bad I can't say his name. Being 10-2 is foreign to me, after countless 2-5 win seasons, we came close in 2010 & 2011 though.
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, but I have admired the Oakland Raiders since even before J.Madden became HC. Absolutely loved Mr. AFL...at least as far as OL go, Mr. Jim00Otto, Pete Banazcak, Marv Hubbard, Darryl Lamonica, Fred Biletnikof, Billy Cannon, and on the defensive side Ben Davidson, Dan Birdwell, Ike Lassiter, Dan Conners, Willie Brown, George Atkinson, Jack Tatum, George Blanda, Ray Guy, and many others. I know there were many more.... sorry for leaving anyone out. God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈
There will never be another NFL classic era where The Oakland Raiders, pilfered & pillaged many a victory with a deafening ornery of freedom unknown to the league today 🏈 👀
I'm a life long bills fan but if the bills didn't exist I'd be a radar fan you all are other than bills fans are the most passionate and loyal fans....the bills and raiders are forever connected ralph wilson bailed out davis when he had financial problems and al helped ralph bring the bills to buffalo so cheers to brothers and sisters in the silver and black
Coming from a life long Steelers fan I coundn't agree more.The Snake should have been in the HOF years ago!Why he hasn't is a mystery to me.MLR from Steeler Nation to Raider Nation :-)
long time chiefs fan here and i adore my chiefs, but i've often said i'm a chiefs fan who thinks like a raider because i believe football is about hitting your opponent in the mouth, giving maximum effort and doing what you have to do to win. a few of my favorites have worn the silver and black like lyle alzado, john matuszak, howie long, ted hendricks, jack tatum and skip thomas. they all played the game the way it was suppost to be played. the NFL is better when the chiefs and raiders are both on top of their games, it's the best rivalry in football and while i may not like the raiders, i respect them because they've earned it. unlike the chargers, with their wimpy powder blue jerseys and "air coryell" BS, the most overrated offense in NFL history, not to mention kellen winslow is as soft as lynn swann.
I am a Steeler fan & I cannot believe what I am reading. You guys speak the truth. You must of been drinking. Wow. Anyway....I remember the great WIllie Lanier & Ed Podolak & of course who can forget Stabler, Shell, Hendricks, etc but I always thought Villapiano was overrated & that Matuzak took downs off.
naw you got it wrong the NFL is Better when the raiders are good not with the chiefs? the sport analyst and other former NFL players from other team they never mention the chiefs with raiders. it's always been the NFL is better when the raiders are good.
Best theme song,best uniforms and logo,Best return to excellence come back happening right now.
Bro yeah
Only the late great voice of John Facenda can do justice to this poem. Awesome!
Only John
Ram it

Long live the spirit of Al Davis, one of the greatest and the single most progressive sports team owner in history!

The best theme song in the NFL without a doubt!
RIP John Madden! Raider Nation will never forget you!
John Facenda=THE greatest voice over man ever!!
Im a Cowboys fan but Them Raiders will always have my respect!!! Win or lose !!!
I just wish the NFL would play like da past when it was football
🍺😎👍
Feeling isn’t mutual. F the Cowboys.
R.I.P Mr. Davis
Thank You for all you've done for the sport.
He was the man
I'm a Steeler fan, but this is the best NFL related video out there.
this was when the nfl wasnt biased
Nah, the league always hated All Davis and the Raiders.
Al*
Thank you, brother.
It's football.[ < period].
@@senordiablo2856 and we take pride in that.
Rest In Peace, Al. Despite the Raiders assassinating my Jets two weeks ago, I join Raider Nation in mourning your passing. Godspeed, Mr. Davis.
My father sends me this every time the raiders win
i get goosebumps when I hear this every damn time.
This is one of the all-time great sports anthems!
John Facenda or as Al Davis called him "The Voice of God"
R.I.P. John Facenda, Al Davis Ken Stabler,
+Andrew Is A Raider Lyle was crazier with the Raiders than with The Orange Crush

From a Bengal fan, Raiders have THE best theme song. Sam Spence knocked out so many compositions over the years, and this is easily one of his best.
Giants fan here but I think the Raiders are one of the most badass teams in the NFL and their theme is the best and most badass!
I was in special Ed when I was kid and I looked up to this team cuse they where the black sheep the underdog the one that wouldn't amount to something, and they became legendary. Just like all us outsider's RN4L
The one and only John Facenda narrating. RIP:( Never has been or will be another like him !
seaness267 True but Harry Kalas was probably the best replacement they could find and excellent as well.

another guy who there will never be another of

+Skillmaster couldn't agree more.
afc championship 2016 steelers raiders
Raiders/Cheifs will be up there soon.. Raiders have 3 prime time games.. MNF SNF and TNF we always play Pitt tough !
The Ravens/Steelers rivalry sucks, it's a "I hate you but respect" thing, and those suck, the Raiders/Steelers and NFC east, is a "I pray no one does" thing. Those are the best.
Roll Tide Snake!!!! The HOF just got the coolest QB to ever play the game.
INDEED!
The Autumn wind is here 💀💀💀
RIP Kenny "Snake" Stabler ! Favorite QB of all time!!! See 0:41
+SUPA DUPA Lemmy Koopa omg how didnt u no that when he died like a year ago now
I remember what Gene Upshaw said after Snake came back from missing 3 games, being replaced
by pencil neck QB David Humm: .. "There's no more Kool Aid breath in this huddle".
The genius of "THE SNAKE"!
This something they should play before each game over the loudspeakers during home games. The Raiders need to be good again. It is important for football that they matter.
anakina1 Two years after your comment, here we are. 9-2.
Tyler The Spartan And they play this after the game and scores.
Freakin' awesome theme!!!!!

My favorite NFLTeam
The autumn wind is upon us
The Raiders have the best NFL theme music/poem (RIP Steve Sabol), just like the USC Trojans' Fanfare/Tribute to Troy is the best college FB music!
Dont forget the best logo ever
Lions fan here and all I have to say is when I hear voice and song of "Autumn Wind" I get goose bumps. Love the Raiders and can't wait to cheer them on because I have always respected the tradition of the fans and organization.

I hear ya
Yea dont care stick to your rams
Im a raiders fan 4 ever I loved when the band would come down 2 the parking where we would be tailgating and they would play the raiders autumn

"The Autumn wind is a Raider..."
H~
Gives me goosebumps boy!!!
Dolphins fan from NJ. Salute the Autumn Wind.
I am a diehard Patriots fan from way back, and feel that the NFL is always better when the Raiders are bad-ass!!
I'm a diehard Patriots fan too and I love this poem. But I hate the raiders! I remind the raider fans about the tuck rule.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Gets me pumped when they play this before the games start #RaidersNation
Dude, I'm a Cowboys fan I couldn't agree with you more. The Raider's Theme is the best NFL song by far.
A work of art! This is a tribute that embodies the true essence of the Raider Nation. Great job.
Ken the snake stabler... RIP... Legend

Mason & Ireland on ESPN radio brought me here...
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan,
but I have admired the
Oakland Raiders since even before J.Madden
became HC.
Absolutely loved Mr. AFL...at least as far as
OL go, Mr. Jim00Otto,
Pete Banazcak, Marv Hubbard, Darryl Lamonica, Fred Biletnikof, Billy Cannon, and on the defensive side Ben Davidson, Dan Birdwell,
Ike Lassiter, Dan Conners, Willie Brown,
George Atkinson, Jack Tatum, George Blanda, Ray Guy, and many others. I know there were many more.... sorry for leaving anyone out.
God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈
Thank you for sharing this! Go Raiders!!!
I am not a Raiders fan, but Jesus Christ this is one badass fucken song. Kudos!
R.I.P. John Facenda, the NFL voice of god and a legend!!
Steeler fan here misses the best rivalry of all time .The 70 's rivalry was the greatest rivalry of all time .I never respected a opponent more .
The raiders logo and colors are so cool.
THE AUTUMN WIND IS A RAIDER!!! Can't wait to get to Oakland this year!!
THE BEST AND BADDEST THEME SONG OF ALL TIME HEAR IT AND WEEP HATERS!
Thank you, Raiders for ever
Just heard the "Autumn Wind" for the first time. HUGE
Raider Nation from NorCal, living in NY. Silver and Black and a swashbuckler.
I love my buffalo bills forever... but this is great song for the Raiders... black and silver!!! Making teams shiver!!!!
They will play this at my funeral...Raiders Por Vida Por Vida Raiders!!!!!
The greatness of the Raiders lies in its future
Not at all a Raider fan, but this is Badass!!!
this theme, ice cube, tecmo bowl, and al davis are the only reasons anyone outside of the Oakland/LA/Vegas area are raiders fans
myself included as the Raiders just oakland-ed my hometown bucs.
Love this theme song
Like to come hear this before every game to get fired up! Raider Nation!!!
raider fan since 1987
NFL FILMS, John Facenda, the music and the raiders. Doesn't gett better!
R.I.P Steve Sabol, Thank you for the most baddest team anthem ever made!
RAIDER NATION BABY!!!
Not particularly a Raiders fan or anything, however I do admire the team's history, Autumn Wind included.

Wherever the Raiders call home, the put this song on it's there home
I am not a Raider fan but, it's a slap in the face to Tim Brown not putting him in the hall of fame

There will never be another NFL classic era where The Oakland Raiders, pilfered & pillaged many a victory with a deafening ornery of freedom unknown to the league today 🏈 👀

I feel melancholy with this now

That is badass.
Skillmaster, in the 70s there wasn't a more violent, vicious, hatred then the Raiders vs the Chiefs
When I get married, this is what I’m walking out to. Arriba mis pinches raiders!!!

Impossible! How the hell can you have two teams and the Raiders be second? You ain't no Raider fan.
