I just have to put in a vote for the mighty Iron Maiden!!! Come on, any band that gives you a song dedicated to the Spitfire pilots of WW2 such as "Aces High" or tracks like "The Trooper", "These Colors Don't Run" and "The Longest Day" surely deserves a mention here.. Cool

Steve Harris, I am not worthy!!!!

The Iron Maiden guys used to be fans of Jethro Tull, I heard- it influenced them a bit I suppose.

Iron Maiden's music is always derived from movies, shows or famous literature- actually, they did pretty well coming up with material that way!

I always liked the more guitar influential music myself, as well as classical and symphonic/movie soundtrack pieces.

Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson's earlier works were kickass. For Satriani it goes great with aircraft motiffs, such as:

The Snake- imagine F-5 Aggressors at Nellis, hassling with F-15s.
Circles- perfect for F-16s squaring off against some Floggers.

An F-15 demo flyer used to do his routine to 3 specific Eric Johnson tunes in this order:

Cliffs Of Dover
Righteous
Trademark

All from the same album, the demo flyer used them for like 4 years straight in the early 1990s.

I used to love making cassettes for airshow traveling back then. Cool

That's just perfect.... Drool

Cliffs Of Dover is an amazing song, but really hard to play in the guitar (I'm still trying to play it... since March, hehe)

Right on RyanCollins....

I'd love a Steve Harris replica bass, but I know it would be waaaaay out of my price range...

You've mentioned plenty of other awesome bands too... Got feeling we have very similar music tastes... Very Happy

This is a cool jam Cool

Ya'll seem to have forgotten one of the best guitarist of all time,
SRV........... Stevie Ray Vaughn. No better blues guitarist ever !!! Two Cents

But I do have to agree that Richie Blackmore burns up the frets better than most.

Hey, I'm back (only for this post, I'm studying, so I haven't got a life now, hehe!

Yes, SRV is (along with BB King and Hendrix)one of the gods of blues... He had a wonderful playing (mostly inspired by Hendrix) and the most impressive thing is that he learned all by himself!

Here's SRV playing one of his best songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U

Of course tim... and Blackmore did things that other guitarist can't do: he was perfect playing blues and heavy rock, with a lot of feeling and technique, and he was gorgeous playing classical pieces and minor scales (like Bach, Beethoven, and more...)

Here's a good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqqyEv0Qy9Y

hope you enjoy it, greetings!!!
