- Song 236: Howling Wolf - Killing Floor. Obviously I'd also have accepted Hendrix here, as his version is teh famous.
- Song 237: Jimi Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic. Some REALLY spaced out lyrics on this one. It takes half a day to get there if you travel by dragonfly?
- Song 238: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song. Whenever I hear this tune, all I can think about is Jack Black belting it out while driving his van in "School Of Rock".
- Song 239: Gary Moore - Walking By Myself. "Still Got The Blues" is an awesome blues-rock album, and the guitar sound is flat out fantastic.
- Song 240: Megadeth - This Was My Life. One of my favorite Mustaine tunes off of "Countdown To Extinction".
- Song 241: Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour. Written partly as a tribute to Cliff Burton of Metallica after he died in a bus accident in Sweden, this Dave classic takes you on a journey from melancholy and sadness via self-pity to bitterness and flat out aggression. Such is the songwriting talent of Dave Mustaine that he will take you along for the ride if you let him.
- Song 242: Mika - Grace Kelly. So lemme' get this straight; all of y'all found Mika, yet you struggle to recognize artists with actual skills and talent like - say - Megadeth and Van Halen? I'd sure hate to be trapped in a car (or an elevator) with y'alls record collection blaring non-stop. ;-)
- Song 243: Eurythmics - There Must be An Angel (Playing With My Heart). Annie Lennox has one helluva voice. Totally wasted on the songwriting of Dave Stewart.
- Song 244: E-Type - Angels Crying. I'm not really a Eurodance music kinda' guy, but E-Type is totally my bag. It just might have something to do with the fact that the progressions etc. he uses is damn close to the music of some Power Metal bands like Freedom Call. Without guitars and with different drum patterns, but still. Just in case anyone of y'all wishes to crip on my set for occasionally rockin' E-Type in the car or on our stereo, I'd like at this point to call your attention to the fact that you all recognized Mika.
- Song 245: Van Halen - Jump. But without the main keyboard riff. Clever, eh?

Gary Moore - Walking By Myself. "Still Got The Blues" is an awesome blues-rock album, and the guitar sound is flat out fantastic.
Yeah, you can't beat the sound of an vintage Les Paul, can you?
;-D
Actually he used Heritage guitars for STGB......
;-D
Are we up for a nerdy link battle* to prove which guitars mr. Moore used for the Still Got The Blues album? I know Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac in the 70's, so the Les Paul was in the hands of mr. Moore before the recording of Still Got The Blues.
;-D
*...or is it the usual throw hands at you-know-where?
...not questioning the fact that Mr. Moore was indeed the owner of said instrument prior to the recording of STGB. But the sleeve says that he used Heritage guitars, and he had a sponsorship dealie with them from the time around "After The War" if my memory serves me here.
But by all means; let's throw hands >:-(
Reading the sleeve notes, eh? Where's the fun in that?
So lemme' get this straight; all of y'all found Mika
Yes, your dedictation to the music really shows in the playing. The more love and dedication you have for a piece, the easier it is for us to recongize it.
artists with actual skills and talent like - say - Megadeth
You funny guy! I know jokes like that as well. Let me see:
- True bands like Spice Girls
- Talented and skilled vocalists like Millie Vanillie
Djes. Skills and talent like Megadeth. That one really cracks me up... :-D
I'd sure hate to be trapped in a car (or an elevator) with y'alls record collection blaring non-stop.
Let me get this straight (yeah, it's my turn now): After knowning me for 15 years, just now after I got Mika right, you realized that you would go mental if you were trapped in a confined space and forced to listen to my record collection? You know, there is a reason that they played Metallica to the prisoners on Guantanamo Bay, and not something off my collection. Even Bush jr. would acknowledge that as crul and inhuman punishment...

It shut you up good, didn't it? :-)

Yeah; that must be it

Hey hey HEY now >:-(
After knowning me for 15 years, just now after I got Mika right, you realized that you would go mental if you were trapped in a confined space and forced to listen to my record collection?
What can I say; I'm known as the slow guy around these here parts
ou know, there is a reason that they played Metallica to the prisoners on Guantanamo Bay, and not something off my collection. Even Bush jr. would acknowledge that as crul and inhuman punishment...
..so what's your spin on the adverse effects of sunlight on vampires?
It shut you up good, didn't it? :-)
You can shut me up, but not the truth!!!
:-)

Are you saying I'm a spin doctor?

According to numerous interviews he has given to guitar magazines, he was the protege of British blues pioneer Peter Green, whom he had always admired ever since the Bluesbreakers days. When Green quit Fleetwood Mac and the entire music scene, he sold his famous nasal-sounding 1959 Gibson Les Paul to Moore, for the same price that Moore had managed to sell his then guitar (a Gibson SG).
The nasal sound of the neck pick-up on Green's guitar was not, as used to be believed, the result of the pickup having been turned backwards, but instead its two coils had been — perhaps accidentally — reconnected in parallel and out of phase, as per the "in between" positions of a Fender Stratocaster. [Others, such as the late British guitar maker Sid Poole & guitar expert Jol Dantzig (Hamer Guitars), believe the pick-up's permanent magnet was reversed*]. Moore has used this guitar in the recordings of some songs of his albums Still Got the Blues, After Hours and Blues For Greeny.

...so check it; we can BOTH be right...how 'bout them apples
we can BOTH be right...
Now, where is the fun in that? I claim that my random quote from google is much more credible then your sleeve notes...
.-D
Well....your quote is from teh internets, and so it has to be true. Damn you and your compelling arguments
