The greatest guitar sound

[mcqlfc]

It can be a few seconds long or 10 mins but whats your favourite sound?

This really does it for me.... (1.21-1.30). [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azEpLihcavE]Queen - Hammer To Fall - Isolated Mix - YouTube[/ame]
I would love to sound like this.

That JTM sounds like its being pushed so hard at times, I LOVE IT.


I would do anything to nail the Monterey tone exactly.

Blackmore at the California Jam

For me, this one starts right off with some kick ass tone. Very 80's

Robin Trower Live "Rock Me Baby"

 

[tjinca1]

Or anything from Van Halen 1 of course!

 

[Söulcaster]

Billy Duffy on the Electric Album, all of it.

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

For a Strat, I'd say Hendrix's or SRV's clean tones on any slow blues songs.
For LP, I gotta go with "Since I've Been Loving You" live. It kind runs the gambit of what I think an LP should sound like.

There are too many examples that I love. I suppose I keep coming back to Eddie Van Halen on the Fair Warning album. 'Mean Street' and 'Unchained' have great sound...if I could dial in that sound perfectly I'd be happy with it for a long time.

Also love the tone on AC/DC Back In Black...every song just punches you right in the face

My more modern sound is a cross between George Lynch on the first 2 Lynch Mob albums, Steve Vai on Passion & Warfare, and Joe Satriani on Flying in a Blue Dream. They all incorporate delay into a killer overdriven distortion that I spent year chasing.

One last honorable mention....Zakk Wylde on Ozzy's 'No More Tears'....his tone on that song is pure awesome.

Great album, great sound. Never played a gretch, supposed to be cool guitars.

There's something about the intro of this song to about the 1 min mark, that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck...

[LesPaulopolis]

Tool "Lateralus" is one of my favorite heavy rhythm tones along with the Pumpkins' "Zero". Mesa amps have great heavy rhythm tones!

Lead tone goes to Dave Gilmour's Darkside, WYWH & Animals era.

Honorable mention to the Europe song "Cherokee"...a 'throaty' lead tone I've been chasing for years.

In all, 80s rhythm guitar tone kinda sucks IMO. 90s rhythm guitar tone is awesome!

90s lead tones are nasty. 80s lead tones are awesome!

70s tone is cleaner and usually awesome. Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest have ballsy tone!

Great album, great sound. Never played a gretch, supposed to be cool guitars.

Electric was recorded with a LP, love was recorded with a gretsch.
Actually the version of electric recorded with a gretsch was discarded, Bob Rock re-did the entire album, and made Billy play a LP. I have both versions. I know some of the videos from the album shows him playing a Gretsch white falcon, but he used a LP

Cheers

I saw them on a recent tour. They played the whole love album plus greatest hits.

For the love part...white falcon into 2 AC30s. He recorded the love album with one guitar which was a white falcon. When I saw it I was like "fuck where are the marshalls?" But seriously man he lit up the room. It was the best live rock tone I have ever heard. It just sat in the mix perfectly.

Then he jumped on a LP for the rest of the night minus a couple of tunes, and to me, his tone went from 10/10 to 9/10. Still awesome but just lacked that zing.

One of the best gigs I have been to.

EDIT.... I would be really interested to hear the Electric recording with a gretsch.

Grats on catchin the show man, sounds mad.

Ill see if I can dig it out, it was real reverby and not tight at all(very similar to love), the recording was sub-par imo. Bob Rock did wonders to get Electric to where it ended up. Such an under-rated album by a super band. Billy Duffy is the reason I play a LP. And Sonic Temple was a damn fine album as well. After that they went down hill, too much heroin =(
