What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[light_bulb]

what I'm playing right now:

Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley

 

[light_bulb]

Chris De Burgh - Lady in Red (sue me)
[/url]

i remember that song when it came out, had a little radio in the bed with me, comes back like crystal

 

[light_bulb]

Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

and for fun :tongue2:

 

[honestrosewater]

Dio - Holy Diver

Haha, thanks, that was cool. Do you ever listen to Tenacious D?

Also, I'm totally there with you on Lady In Red and Wonderful Tonight, though I might not always admit to liking the former either. EC is supah.

 

[radou]

Don't specially like the video, but couldn't find anything better. It's the theme from the movie American Beauty, composed by Thomas newman.

It makes shivers go through my entire body every single time I listen to it.

Oh yes and, depressive themes aside, here's a timeless classic:

YEah, I saw Tenacious D. I rather liked the movie, but it was just a bit heavy on the bodily function jokes for me. I can only laugh at so much of that. Otherwise it was great. Dio was the one that sent him on his trip to Hollywood. I think all the songs I've heard from Tenacious D on the radio were also in the film. Jack Black's voice is very similar in style to Dio and Iron Maiden.

Yeah, I don't often admit to liking 'Lady in Red' either, but I'm getting too old to bother hiding stuff anymore. I've almost given up the thought of ever being cool. Glad to see I'm not alone.:tongue:

Magic Carpet Ride. I believe it's from Steppenwolf. I like how they fit it into this Doctor Who video.

Of course it's from Steppenwolf.

And the fit is amost perfect, I agree.

Haha, speaking of not being cool, someone just reminded me a song that often makes me dance around like a fool: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1jqsw_moses-supposes-singing-in-the-rain" from Singing in the Rain.

Another song that turns me into a happy singing fool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6OVkLlyuA" àla DMB. How can I hurt when hearing it? One... touching one... reaching out... touching me... touch-ing yooooooooooooooooooooou...

SWEEEEET CAROLIIIINE! BUM! BUM! BUM!(Hm, is it "one" or "warm"? Haha, whatever.)

No way that beats Sweet Caroline, come on! I love Carreras in Simon Boccanegra, but I couldn't find any samples online.

Remember Bugs Bunny in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTydGEYdVbE", I guess. (What I saw of the video is quite funny.)

If this is turning old skool, here is the best performance that I could find online of my favorite song ever, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xq4wu_igoshina-chopin-etude-op10-n3" . Mm. It's quite a nice performance visually too.

Wow, that was an impressive piece. However, I do have something that will easy top that and everything else
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bkQxrdOk8Us
You really have to watch the whole thing, it is absolutley stunning.
It tops for my favorite organ piece- the video really does not do it justice though.

 

[Winzer]

Ok I must bring up Bach's Bradenburg concerto No.5 with the awesome harpsichord solo.http://youtube.com/watch?v=VxzY3tFTz9k

Wow, that was very nice. It makes me think of the contrast between people's will to create and destroy (or maybe that was mostly the organ). I'll have to keep an eye out for other performances too. Thanks.

Evo,

Sorry if this was already pointed out to you, but here is the Authorative Vaseline Machine Gun

It's the last in a short medley.

Good sound too.

One of my favorite songs from long ago.
THE BYRDS "Eight miles high"


The Byrds - "Eight Miles High" - Live extended version, classic birds.


The Byrds - "Turn, turn, turn"


The Byrds - "Mr. Tamborine Man"




Eight miles high bass solo - for any base players here



I miss the 60's and early 70's. :tongue2:

Dead Can Dance - Don`t Fade Away


Ronan O'Snodaigh is the drummer in the back usually. He plays a large drum and you can see him in the video "Toward the Within" bopping up and down when they play 'Rakim'. He really gets into it.

Thanks to Evo for turning me onto DCD. :!)

It's totally great, and Toward the Within is a great DVD.

 

[Astronuc]

Yeah! I have to get it.

I love Yulunga, the music is great and I love the folks in the video. I have a preference for so-called 'primitive' societies anyway :tongue2: , as opposed to modern industrialized culture :yuck: .


Also Lisa Gerrard has a website - http://www.lisagerrard.com/

There is a CD called https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005A8IY/?tag=pfamazon01-20, not to be confused with the Movie, DVD and soundtrack of the same name. On the CD Baraka, there are two really beautiful pieces of music Berceuse (for Elain) and Berceuse (Reprise). I wish they had developed those further.

 

[antonantal]

For those of you who like classical music here is "The Ballad" by Ciprian Porumbescu, and some beautiful images from my country - Romania (you know, Dracula.. :tongue2:)

That was lovely. Is it such a somber place to live? It looks quite tranquil at first glance, but then you get the sense that there's really this subdued yearning everywhere. All of the pictures look that way. Is it the sky? What is it? Hah, it's so strange.

Maybe it's because there's no living creature in those pictures, and combined with the yearning feeling expressed by the song (it sounds like the "Marche funèbre" by Chopin in some parts at the beginning) and the cloudy skyes, it gives you a melancholic mood - kind of like I was feeling the last evening

1,683 guitarists play 'Smoke on Water'

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Kansas - More than 1,680 guitar players turned out, tuned up and took part in what organizers say was a world record rendition of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" — a song that was the first many of them ever learned.

Some came from as far away as California and Germany on Sunday to take part in a Kansas City radio station's effort to break a Guinness world record for the most people playing the same song simultaneously. The record had been 1,323 people playing the same song in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994.

"It was cool to see little kids playing, people who had been playing for their whole lives, like older people, and then I'm sure there were people like me who just picked up the song a couple days before," said Autumn McPherson, of Winfield, a senior at the University of Kansas.

:rofl:

If you like electric guitar solos, check out any of Robben Ford's CDs that he recorded with Rosco Beck and Tom Brechtlein (The Blue Line). His tone is gorgeous and his solos are infectious!
