Ted Nugent - Stranglehold (Official Audio)

 

[stratamania]

As a summer (vacation) project I am going through a long list of songs that I have tried to learn to play over that last few years, and trying to play them better.

That is a cool project, going back to songs with a new perspective

 

[Scab Pickens]

For some reason, I keep having this song flashing through my brain the past couple of days (along with random Bon Jovi songs - and I don't even like Bon Jovi! ). Please, God, help me ...

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold (Official Audio)

I saw Uncle Ted play at our local fair. It was awesome!

Europe - Cherokee (Official Music Video)

The video has Kee Marcello shown on guitar but it was actually played by John Norum.

Live with John Norum

Wow, the inaccuricies are worse than in Hollywood movies!
I do however remember this ”At the beginning of the song, drummer Ian Haugland says: "Nu ska vi spela!" which means "We're gonna play now!" in Swedish.” This can be heard on the version that is on the record (not in this video).

I’ve always liked the song, though!

John Norum has very tasty licks, like in this song, which is the name of a district in the city of Stockholm (Sweden).

Aldo Nova, man, what a brief life at the top he had, at least in the States. He was inescapable for about a year, and then poof - gone!

Turns out he has been a prolific and highly regarded producer, including the earlier albums for a little flash-in-the-pan artist named Celine Dion. Good for him.

After Googlin' and Wiki'n I am somewhat worried about my underlying brain. I honestly had no clue about the Aldo/Bon Jovi connection ... scary, man!

Wikipedia wrote:
" In 1990, Aldo Nova wrote the main guitar riff that would be used in the Jon Bon Jovi song, "Blaze of Glory".[1] In 1991, to return the favour, Bon Jovi worked with Nova on his Jambco Records (Jon Bon Jovi's label) release Blood on the Bricks.[1] It had three singles: "Blood on the Bricks", "Medicine Man", and "Someday"."

A hard rock supergroup fits this thread, so without further ado.

The Winery Dogs - Stars (Official Music Video)

Not quite Chuck Berry Red but
If You Want Blood (You've Got It) - AC/DC - (Official HD Video)

AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill (Iron Man 2 Version)

 

[VanHeGen]

The more I listen to AC/DC the more I’m impressed by the foundation that Malcolm created.

Indeed, a lot of rock solid rhythm work that perhaps goes unnoticed by some.

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers (from Come Hell or High Water)

 

[TBurst Std]

The more I listen to AC/DC the more I’m impressed by the foundation that Malcolm created.

You just recognized the true talent in that band.

 

[TBurst Std]

And he proved potentially the best rhythm sound is a Filteron through an ancient Marshall. Distorted yet clear.

 

[TBurst Std]

As I own an AXE, I’ve tried to duplicate the ‘Black Flag’ he used. Think PT and OT from 100w Plexi, preamp ala Plexi and tone stack from JTM 45. The JTM 45 has always been my fav Marshall. Gotten close enough for stage work. Filtertrons are the other part of the equation.

 

[Rick]

I like this one because you can see how they interact, especially when they are all locked into the pocket in front of the drummer. Beautiful. This is classic heavy rock ... with a little blues and country thrown in. At about 1:22 they lock in.
