Pickslides rule. Guitar players- please do them once in a while. Its hot…cause its funny. Here are the best ones I know:
1. Shout at the Devil - Motley Crue
There’s about 50 of them throughout the song. Yeah, Mick Mars! I actually met Mick Mars when I was 19. It was awesome.
2. Stranglehold - The Nuge
Right in the middle of the song, there is a horrendous pickslide. Todd and I used to play the song on the bowling alley jukebox in Raleigh and when the pickslide came up we would try to time it perfectly with a strike…I think it worked once.
3. Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
Also, right in the middle of the song. Good solid sound, well timed.
Do you know anymore songs with earmelting pickslides?
fuckyeahrock’n’roll: reblogged by request!
Argh. I answered before I remembered that Mountain Song by Jane’s Addiction has a total killer.
Also, Turbonegro’s Get It On is worthy of mention, as are any amount of examples by Mr Van Halen of course..
