Best crusing song?

Vanimal, Joe Satriani is a very talented guitar player and he makes great songs, but his flash of his second cd Surfing with the Alien (if I got the title right) started to go away soon after, his next cd's are good but there is more boring stuff than what I would expect from him, I rather listen to Steve Vai, he is the closest thing to Joe in style more or less, not the same, but in the same vein. But its clear that Joe cant match Steve's abilities in playing or composing, which is sort of wierd because it was Joe who first showed Steve some theory. But as both of them said "thank god for Malmsteen, he showed the way". I just went to G3 to see Malmsteen and Vai then I left while Satriani was playing he is to easy to play and he can be boring to watch live. But I still like a lot of his earlier stuff.

 

True - Joe was Steve's first teacher in High School. Some school, huh?! Steve had a most interesting early career - for example - while still a student/tutor at Berklee, Frank Zappa reeled him in after Vai transcribed some of Zappa's most technical output, and sent Frank a copy of "Black Page". Story is well-told in David Walley's book, No Commercial Potential - mine's falling apart! Zappa called Steve "Stunt Guitarist" and "Little Italian Virtuoso."

Here's a few tunes that are blast-worthy on the road:
Blind Blake: C.C. Pill Blues (C.C.= Compound Cathartic - Mind-blowing Ragtime Guitar)
Moon Going Down: Charley Patton (First Rock Song, as far as I'm concerned, though best on headset - Loud)
John Coltrane: Love Supreme - (easy to Bombastic, in a hurry)
MC5: Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Unbelievable that they didn't have effects)
Isaac Hayes: By The Time I Get to Phoenix (18:42 track on Hot Buttered Soul bonus Kickass monologue)
Led Zeppelin: Heartbreaker/Livin', Lovin' Maid - (Shocked this hasn't been mentioned already)
Towering Inferno: Reverse Field (Brian Eno described the only T.I. album Kaddish as the most frightening record he's ever heard - it's about the Jewish Holocaust, and it is sonically mental)
Brian Eno - Baby's on Fire (So's his guitar)
Interpol: PDA (Spy Movie Groove)

That's just a start, heh

 

Yikes, ok, I'm clearly out of my depth on guitarists...I haven't heard his work, only mentioned it because I have a friend who is a guitarist and he said that Danny Gatton was amazing (comparisons to Hendrix and SRV). I'll shut up and go back to my Peter Gabriel now

 

Wax, I don't know if I got you right but just in case Satriani was a student in the same high school as Vai but he was a little older, they sometimes did burn joints around some field, Im not sure if it was a baseball field. Another thing is that when Vai sended the tape to Frank Zappa he did it because he was a fan of Frank's and he wanted tho see what Frank thought of him, Frank listened to the tape and got on the phone and called Vai and told him that he was great and that he wanted him to play along in his band, then Vai told him that he would love to but that he couldn't, when Frank asked why not? Vai then told him because "I am 17 years old", then Frank was speechless. Then Frank got him a job of writing in music notation the music he was composing and also doing many transcriptions, one day Vai took his parents to see Frank play and to meet him, at the end of the concert they all met and Vai's father asked Frank this question which I think he did alone to Frank, "MR. Zappa do you think that my son Steve has any real talent or is he just a dreamer?" And Zappa said "your son is going places, he is going to be famous". It was afer all this that he went to Berklee, by the way he went there as Mr. Correale as salesman at Shelton Ferrari in Fort Lauderdale went to Berklee also to study music he plays guitar also, but as he says he doesnt have the chops to play Vai. I know of Vai since 1985 some years before he made it big, and I can play his music also.
Entelechy, I am not putting down anybody's taste of what they like to hear or listen, Hendrix is a 60's icon and SRV did get many blues fans to hear him, and he was a better player than Hendrix and I could tell that from only 2 minutes of what I could stand of watching him live but thier music is very basic to play, but I would be ashame to play any of their tunes and it bothers me when people think that they were great guitar players or that they could play anything in guitar, they were just famous people with charisma and good guys but they werent great players and thats by a long shot. But then again there was nothing in the 60's like Hendrix in the 60's "rock music" he was more a entertainer than a guitarist, he was just a lot of noise. Santana which is about as basic and simple as it can get used to eat Hendrix for lunch anytime. When the 70's came around almost any guitarist could laugh at anything form the 60's and in the 80's the 70' and the 60's were pathetic, and now the rock guitarist are the worst ever, they are crap. The only good ones are not mainstream and are only known by old fans, most of them are from the mid 80's and early 90's, the ones that I have talked about in the previuos posts are some of them. If your friend is a player then is a most for him to listen to some of them, you will be doing him a great favor.

 

Paco de Lucia...great stuff!

How about Segovia?!

Cheers

The CD player says there are 97 tracks on the disc, and your ears are
assaulted by this fantastic variety of rude electronic noise, so you think
at first maybe it's a sampling CD, but it's not. It's just part of the
enigma promulgated by the band; from the sleeve, you'd think maybe their
name is kontEnt:id !=, or maybe +/-hekx|dAmage.gRi...D. I tried their web
site hoping to elicit some hard facts, but the site is straight out of Count Zero;
you can only experience it, not understand it.
About the record: Once in a while you have the hallucination that there
are remnants of tunes buried amid the sampled radio voices, oscillator
whickering, pitch-mangled fuzz guitar divebombs, and flying snare flams.
But probably not. After a few years getting synth-and-sampler CDs in the
mail, I thought I'd heard everything, but I've never heard anything like
this. -Jim Aikin

>>better than autechre and a lot of other stuff i've heard (chem bros, etc.) tho autechre is more "beat/pop" oriented

Always thought ZZ Top's "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" a cool cruisin' song.

 

Thanks for the insights - I'll pass them on to my friend

Some of the tunes I run with are

She's got the look - Roxette
I've got the power - snap
Axel Foley Theme

Soul Sauce (wachi wara) Cal Tjader
Taxi Driver - Joyce
Mais Que Nada - Sergio Mendes
and others.

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Red Barchetta" by Rush yet!!! That'll get the soul stirring of any Ferraristi.

Also have to go with:
"Dragula" - Rob Zombie
"Sex Type Thing" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Juke Joint Jezebel" - KMFDM (from the Bad Boys movie soundtrack)
"Thunderstruck" - AC/DC
"She Sells Sanctuary" - The Cult
"Ain't My *****" - Metallica
"Summer Song" - Joe Satriani
"Sabotage" - Beastie Boys
"Head Like A Hole" - Nine Inch Nails
"All Fired Up" - Pat Benetar
"Stages" - ZZ Top
"Everlong" - Foo Fighters
"The Game" - Disturbed
"I Will Follow" - U2

The list could go on and on...

Newerish fav song = Show me how to live - Audioslave.
I have about 40 cd's with "driving songs". When ever I'm in the mood to gain a few points on my license, I play one. Losing the license for a week {or a year, depending how fast!}, going to court and saying "I was just keeping up with traffic" and then the fine is always worth it. We only have ovals 'round these parts. Turning the wheel left all of the time is boring. I need to lose the rear end sometimes and "get in deep" while braking to have fun. I practice losing controll more often than driving fast. Weird huh?

 

There are so many good driving tunes out there!!.

For fast on-ramp merging...the first 35.sec of Motorcycle Driver by Joe Satriani from the Extremist album. Rest of the song rocks aswell but better for high speed driving.

Panama --Vanhalen from the album 1984, Unchianed--from Fair Warning

Bad Horsie by Steve Vai...From Alien Love Secrets

Baluchitherium--By Van Halen from Balance..no singing just Ed rockin away.

Satch Boogie---Joe Satriani from Surfing with the alien

Jimmy Hendrix--Red House for the drive back from a party..nice easy on the ears blues tune..love that tune

Metallica...Waste My hate..from Load, Sad But True, from the Black album, Were ever I may Rome, from the Black ablum.

ZZTop Pretty much every song off their greatest hits CD.

Iron Maiden---Run to the Hills...From Number of the Beast

Almost anything by Colin James..

Almost anything From AC/DC..same song over and over...but what a great song!!

Tom

SRV..Pride and Joy, Texas Flood, Tax man,

 

with allan's choices, and DMX, "where da hood at" is good, when ur angry, or even smashing pumpkins rat in a cage.

 

It's interesting to see the variety in the genre of driving songs that all of us Ferraristi prefer. As far as my favorite driving songs go, allow me to add my two bits:

- Kashmir: Led Zeppelin
- Boys of Summer: Don Henley
- Beautiful Day and Where the Streets have No Name: U2
- the entire Black Album: Metallica
- anything by Black Sabbath/Ozzy or R.J. Dio
- Anything by Jan Hammer
- and anything that's ever been played on Miami Vice.

As for every other day...the sweet sound of my 308 engine is better that anything I can punch up on my radio.

 

Did anyone mention Led Zeppelin's "The Immigrant Song"?

Turn up the volume and go to: http://www.oddwebsite.com/viking_kittens/
