Best Marshall Sound Laid To Tape?

[jleftyy]

For my money the best Marshall tone ever recorded was on Fair Warning by Van Halen.
Eddie's guitar sound on that album will rip your head off. Amp is cranked and dry (except for a little flanger here and there). There is no way to fake that. I can only imagine how loud that room was. His anger at the time was really channeled through his "el-cheapo" guitar and Super Lead. Love it.
What's your ultimate???

Extremely difficult to answer, way, way to many great recordings...

Period.

There are soooo many, but ACDC's Burnin' Alive comes to mind.

+1
but I will add that most of that great tone were mostly 70's to early 80's

I think my favorite rhythm tone is ACDC - For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).

 

[Philip Lyon]

My personal favorite has always been the album "Black Rose" by Thin Lizzy.
The title track is an excellent example of a harmonised twin Les Paul Marshallfest and another number called "Get Outa Here" has in my opinion one of the most outrageously good guitar solo tones I have ever heard wail forth from a Marshall.
Back to the 70's again for this recommendation.

John Norum & Billy White come to mind ...

For my money, benchmark Marshall tone found on
FREE- Live
UFO- Phenomenon & Force It
AC/DC -High Voltage
(Honorable mention , Schenker's solo tone on Lonesome Crow)

For me, the ultimate expression of a guitar and Marshall amp was the AC/DC back in Black album. That blew the world away with raw tone and power.

Mutt Lange and his engineer really new how to get a great guitar sound recorded.

No question AC/DC is up there...The only thing that bothers me about the early AC/DC records is that they apparently did not own tuner. To play along with the 1st 5 AC/DC albums you need 7 guitars all tuned slightly different.

 

[jross68052]

Maybe they changed the speed slightly when they mastered the recordings

I heard on highway to hell they just all tuned to Malcolm..probably what they did on all the early albums..

What ever their tuning method was, I need a roadie to make all the guitar changes while jamming. Just on Highway there are 3 different versions of "standard tuning" used. The sound is amazing. My favorite AC/DC album.

For simple pure Marshall tone with no effects, my favorite album is the For Those About to Rock album by AC/DC. They always have really great tone but that entire album has something extra special going on.

 

[BanditPanda]

Solarburn's Super Bowl 2017 Phogue The Patriots recording. lmao

( oh sorry that was Marshall to phone )

 

[Solid State]

Without a doubt, Angus Young is Marshall tone.

Yngwie has a fantastic Marshall sound with a midrange growl, high end squish and howling leads.
