Mine is embarrassingly on the nose. Pretty sure Wrath for Dylan
Or maybe Disarm?

Why that one for Anders Breivik? He literally heard Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell and looping the song to play over and over.

Does anyone know what songs James Holmes had playing on his IPod during the shooting?

You made me curious since I know I have heard it before and they mention it here. https://youtu.be/JRE5KatNChU?t=849 It was techno music on max volume but he didn´t know what song that was playing.

According to Nikolas Cruz, some of the music he enjoyed listening to was "Russian Bass", which is some type of instrumental dub-step type-music with vocals in Russian. He also stated that he listened to Mac Demarco a lot and specifically the album "Salad Days".

I have no clue, but that was the music that he said he had been listening to 'recently' when he was being interrogated after the shooting. So for all we know he coulda had one of these songs playing in his head while he was doing the shooting. We'll probably never know as is the case with most shootings but I still felt it was relevant.

Music/music videos Nikolas Cruz listened to according to his cellphone records:
Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People (according to Zach, Nikolas played this song out loud at home while walking around with one of his shotguns)
Ak-47 Combat Tribute Music Video (not a song but has music in it)
I put Spongebob music over a school shooting (music/video)
Kill Everybody by Skrillex (searched on the night of Feb. 12th and again at 9:56 pm on Feb. 13th)
Pumped Up Kicks Remix Columbine Music Video (searched the night of Feb. 13th)
*He searched "school shooter hype music video" and clicked on a video that "Depicts Columbine Shooting dramatization with music playing in the background" according to the report. This was the one with the most views and is the first one that appears when you use those search terms.
Exception by Token (searched the night of Feb 13th)
Moskau by Dschinghis Khan (searched at 7:00am the day of the shooting)
This was the "Russian Bass" music that I was referring to earlier in one of my posts although the video I linked earlier was not accurate (since I looked up Russian Bass instead of the actual song name).
Knife Game Song by Rusty Cage (Youtuber)(searched the morning of the shooting)
Also, some of the terms Cruz searched on his phone were "good songs to play while killing people" and "school shooting music video". The last song he listened to on his phone was Pumped Up Kicks (he listened to it late morning on the day of the shooting).
Bonus: Not listened to by Cruz, but this song is about Parkland and other shootings and the video shows a shooting (not violent)
*I don't agree with the gun control message of it but the music video is good.

Dimitrios Pagourtzis probably had “Another One Bites The Dust” by Queen playing in his head.

Randy Stair liked 'I don't like mondays' by the Boomtown Rats. He said that he bought the song in one of his suicide tapes. TJ Lane put Oblivion by Grimes on his facebook page Devon Erickson liked Nico and the niners by Twenty One Pilots. There's a video of him singing it at what appears to be a school concert

Vladislav Roslyakov had Bone's TheCafeteria on his playlist. I find it hard to believe it didn't cross his mind during the shooting, considering he was practically recreating some of it's lyrics.

Salman Abedi:
Not because Salman was a fan, but because this song would be the last thing he heard moments before detonating the suicide bomb since it was playing in the concert. I also find it interesting how this was the song choice for the X factor's tribute for Sandy Hook.
Alek Minassian (2018 Toronto van attack) Tim Kretschmer (2009 Winnenden school shooting) - Move Bitch - Ludacris
Dimitris Patmanidis (2009 OAED Vocational College shooting) - Free Your Hate - KMFDM
Dylann Storm Roof (2015 Charleston Church Shooting) - Nigger Hatin' Me - Johnny Joseph Horton
Vladislav Igorevich Roslyakov (2018 Kerch Polytechnic College massacre) - PUMPED UP KICKS - 3TEETH
The first one actually did play. He had a speaker on his vest, which was blasting his favourite songs, including this one. Think I'm lieing? Watch the stream.
