  1. god damn i love the entire second half of this track so fucking much. saw it live at hollywood bowl last october and it blew me away. one of my new all-time favorite guitar solos.
  2. i thought i was right but i did a deeper dive into the liner notes and recording sessions and i was wrong. the sax dominates for sure but there is a Bb trumpet in it that hits (and i can hear clearly now) that is in the sustain note at the end of each section (1:20, 2:03, and 3:32). so i retract what i said, it technically qualifies.

    you aren't. don't think that your additions in this thread don't get read. i'll admit that our tastes don't exclusively overlap (you have a much higher tolerance for nonsense than me - which is a good thing) but about 10-15% of the stuff you post here leads to me listening to some new stuff so it is appreciated. also, "subpar snatch" is a pretty fucking awesome name and sounds like it came from a surly "that would make a great band name" post. great band visual. unfortunately, another one that i gave a 20 minute try out to based on top streamed tracks and gonna have to move on. they do seem like they'd be an entertaining live show though.
  4. 2nd movement of stravinsky's rite of spring egmont overture - beethoven bolero - ravel shostakovich 7th and 12th symphony tchaikovsky - fucking everything but symphony 6 is probably best fountains and pines of rome - respighi (this one will surely draw out all the high school orchestra nerds) mahler symphony 2 and 5
  5. i just realized you weren't limiting this to pop/rock. if open to all genres, then this thread can basically just be: 1a. everything miles davis did from 1958 to 1970. 1b. everything chet baker did from 1952 to 1965.
  6. misirlou - dick dale (bones, horns, trumpets, tuba) all you need is love/got to get you into my life/penny lane - beatles (full orchestra brass, flugelhorn) uptown funk - bruno/ronson (horns) digital witness - st. vincent (horns) fake empire - the national (bones, horns, and trumpets) sledgehammer - pg (trumpets and horns) born to run - springsteen (i think this one might not work actually - can't remember if it was all sax) bitch and doo doo doo doo - stones (trumpets) national anthem - radiohead (horns) walking on sunshine - katrina and the waves (horns) the boxer - paul simon (piccolo trumpet) was going to say just the way you are by billy joel but i'm pretty sure that's all sax, as is baker street. i'm pretty sure picking up the pieces from awb above is also all sax. everything ever by james brown, chicago, or ew&f.
  7. it's not supposed to be...it is. i am trying to figure out why fudge nuggets drove-by saying it wasn't real and what stupid shit got over on him.
  8. what makes you say this?
  9. Umm, she willingly chose to marry Alex Jones.
  10. you're a fucking florida guy...the literal center of the jort universe. jesus.
  11. one of the more amusing things about this circus is the delusion the maga dipshits betray when they all claim they want bondi's head on a pike and to replace her with someone that will release the epstein names...as if bondi is not doing trump's bidding by refusing the release the information in order to clearly protect a guy that was known to have a very close relationship with epstein for decades, is a known piece of shit adulterer who has been found civilly liable for rape and who was convicted of 34 felonies stemming from paying off a porn star that he fucked. they genuinely don't understand that replacing bondi would not change the outcome because she's not making that call. they truly are that delusional and cannot see the plainest of plain realities slapping them in the face. it's so naked and obvious...and yet, here we are.

    no fucking way...are you serious? that colossal piece of shit got nominated for an award?
  13. something something, username.
  14. not in texas, apparently.
  15. man i love 5 star linebackers.
  16. south austin pretty much nailed it. bono truly is insufferable in his need to make it seem like everything he says 100% of the time in every setting and every context is somehow profound and transcendent. it's performative and exhausting as he seemingly has no chill. i genuinely would have no interest in spending any time with him in any setting because my eyes would get exhausted rolling into the back of my head. it is a testament to the other three guys' patience and tolerance that they endured and held it together so long. i disagree with g650 obviously...edge is undoubtedly an inferior "player" to knopfler, gilmour, etc... but his sonic experimentation with what he can do with the guitar and constantly reinventing it from unforgettable fire through all that you can't leave behind - which while it all seems inevitable now - was amazing. i honestly think of him more as a producer than a guitarist. unlike bono, i would happily spend weeks in a studio with edge messing around with sounds. moving on from u2... some other classic intros that i haven't seen or overlooked in here - "voodoo child," "little wing," and "purple haze," "let's go crazy" and the drums on "take me with u," "angel" (massive attack), "carmina burana" (orff), "california love" (very few songs can make you immediately move like that one), "under pressure," "rhythm of the heat" (peter gabriel), "don giovanni" (mozart), "whiter shade of pale," "levee" and "going to california," "upper hand" (pearl jam), "mayonaise" (pumpkins), "block rockin beats" (chemical bros), "play that funky music," "come together," "welcome to the jungle," the underutilized bass only start to "lovely day" (withers), probably doesn't count as an intro since the motif is the whole song but the beginning of "every breath you take" can't be denied, "throw it up" (lil jon), "also sprach zarathustra" (strauss) "let's stay together" (al green), outshined (soundgarden), half the shit by metallica, "crazy train," also s winner of best intro under three seconds long: "let's get it on" by marvin.
  17. it will never cease to amaze me that texas fans - when pointing to the shittiest football years in history - always point to mackovic instead of mcwilliams. objectively speaking, while the teams were not elite, the 94-96 teams were somewhat fun to watch. mcwilliams was way shittier. way, way shittier. like so shitty that charlie strong's teams were the only ones that were competitively as bad since ww2. even the one decent season in 90 was a complete fucking farce of unbelievably shitty opponents that miami put on full dispaly to cap things off. but because he was a texas guy (and i guess the gardere outcomes against ou), mcwilliams gets off the hook while everyone points to mackovic. to me, mcwilliams and strong are the co-presidents of the texas football makes you suicidal club. mackovic won the last swc, the first big 12, and was responsible for my favoite horn ever in ricky. mcwilliams got abused by everyone except gary gibbs. sorry for football'ing (the single shittiest board on this site - kind of like mcwilliams) the cr. just needed to say that.
  18. for sure he's played it a billion times live but even for him, i suspect it takes a little practicing to get it nailed. if you watch closely in the video i posted, he looks extremely focused and is rocking back and forth to keep his tempo (he never really looked like that the rest of the show...he just walked around the stage completely loose and chill like it was a rock concert) because, as i figured out when i learned to play that riff, that 8th dot delay can really screw up your perceived tempo as you get deeper into it despite the left hand being extremely simple and the right hand not being too terrible. but then again, i'm me and he's edge so yeah...you're likely right.
  19. I think the Rattle and Hum tour was the best they ever did with it live but it was pretty solid at the sphere a couple of years ago. My seats were last minute so not great but still gives a good idea. I wonder how long Edge has to re-rehearse the riff to get back up to speed whenever they go out IMG_5685.mov eta: actually, i just remembered the super bowl halftime show right after 9/11 where they did mlk right into it...that was pretty fucking amazing.
  20. i'll be honest, i looked them up to see if there songs were all protest songs against bushy cooch. it was even worse than that. holy shit, what a shitty lords of acid ripoff.
  21. and of course, very few songs throw their dick on the table with a bang after a crazy sonice start like sledgehammer.
  22. lots of good ones in here already...some of my favorites that have not yet been mentioned.
  23. While your point is 100% valid and applies you at least 90% of Texans (I.e., idiots), bateshorn lives in Maryland or Virginia. though given his career, I still find it surprising he’s not that familiar with Paxton’s general awfulness given the national profile he’s tried to cultivate in being on the vanguard of the race to the bottom.
