And with that note, goodnight, people. 🙂 Someone did indeed. Funny most people I talk to know that song but cannot remember who sings it. Ah delicious irony. This is one of those songs that kinda says it all. 3 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN? You really should've clicked here before 6pm on Sunday the 18th!

siolfir Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well, if we're going with 80s and iconic guitar intros... (chosen over Paradise City because the intro is all guitar: for both songs you know what it is on the first note) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Robin Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) @siolfir True, and a great pick. Honestly you could say that about most anything Slash did. His sound is iconic. Heart's is special to me for a few reasons, it was done by a woman at a time where there were few prominent female rockers, many of the more recent guitar gods like Slash, Eddy Van Halen, Nuno Bettencourt etc have sited Nancy as an influence... and it's acoustic. Speaking of prominent women, strut those million dollar legs Tina! Fun Fact: Spoiler Million dollar legs is a actually a literal attribution as Tina Turner had her legs insured by Lloyds of London for 1.6 million dollars... each.

Christopher Robin Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) You know I don't think I've ever heard that particular Rush song before. I'll have to give it a listen later when I can devote my undivided attention rather than having it play as background music while working on other things. Thanks @siolfir Sidenote: I'm not sure why the original version of the video doesn't come up on YT but I was able to find it on Vimeo. Might want to grab a copy in case it is becoming scarce. It's poetry in motion. Edited December 29, 2019 by Christopher Robin 3 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN? You really should've clicked here before 6pm on Sunday the 18th!

According to songfacts, it was supposed to be the original introduction to The Trees, but the producer (Terry Brown, aka Broon) didn't like it so it was cut for the album version. They played it for a couple of tours, which is how it got recorded for Exit..Stage Left and listed as Broon's Bane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Robin Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Good to know. Speaking, a bit earlier, about impressive guitarists and, even earlier, about creatures erupting from the stage during a show, made me remember this little gem. Yngwie Malmsteen isn't a name that just rolls off the tongue but he was no slouch on the axe himself. I feel like they threw a little of everything into this video. Wizards, check! Explosions and laser light show, check! Cheesy special FX and an epic guitar solo, double check! Fire breathing dragons, you bet! Chunky Conan wannabe, check! Wait wut?
