OT: How about some instrumentals

[Steelerone]

When a symphonic metal band plays with a full orchestra (sorry this is cheating a little bit because there are some vocals from the chorus, but no words). Darth Vader definitely deserves some head banging for his theme music. Skip to about 3 minutes for the rockin' stuff.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A good example of folk metal.

Just popping in and hopefully not repeating:



Ooopps there is a vocal ... bad, bad.

Scud, this might have been, along with Peter Gunn and Hawaii Five O, the greatest theme for a television show ever. I was in Pittsburgh when they filmed the show that guest starred Lee Marvin. The story I got was that George Maharias, who appeared as "Buzz" got carried away in one of the fight scenes with Marvin. Marvin, who was a highly decorated hero during WW2, apparently grabbed him and established a line of communication. There were no further problems. Shortly after that Maharias left the show claiming "health problems."

Hey Steeler, wow, great story - I'll have to see if I can find that episode somewhere - I haven't seen any of those old shows for a long time, so I'm due anyway.

Wow, it's been a long time since I heard that. I have a CD ripped from the LP; I'll have to dig it up. The early EWF stuff is amazing (love the kalimba). It's really different from their later stuff, but there's an underlying style/vibe that's always present.

Early in the thread there was a guitarist named Leo. I figured it was this guy, but it was a different Leo.

I used to play (a very simplified version of) that on the mountain dulcimer. Believe it or not, it was quite recognizable. I still marvel at a bottleneck being used on a 12-string.

There's so much Frank Zappa to choose from. I went with this one with a big band:

Sir Duke from 1950:

[bantamlaker]

I liked this way back in 1959 (still sounds pretty good to me). Trivia - A little known group called the Beatles was the opening act for Johnny and the Hurricanes at the Star Club in Hamburg in 1962.

Tina S. - She was a teenager when she played this... Beethoven Moonlight Sonata.

2 Cellos AC/DC Thunders Struck. We saw these guys in concert at DPAC in Durham. Fun show.

 

[Woof 101]

I am very surprised the Hendrix version has not been posted yet which I enjoyed but for my money these days it's the UCMB... The Pride Of Connecticut...

 

[uconn1999]

Did a word search and didn’t see this classic. apologies, if it’s already posted.
Enjoy with your squeeze

Sorry there's no Korean translation, but she is a gifted guitarist named Haeun Jang Pilos. (I just don't know how her hair doesn't get in the way.)
