This one takes a while to get rolling - I'm not the biggest fan of the jazzy opening. The highlight is probably the electric guitar in the middle section (and again at 4:42), followed by BREAKING NEWS at 3:19. Cool mixed-meter stuff elsewhere, but the guitar part feels kinda meandering at times. 23) Jesus Christ Superstar - Overture Submitted by: Raka_Putra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvuKX0KvKUY Probably the least likely track to wind up on this list, the Jesus Christ Superstar overture is so good that even after deducting some points for vocals near the end (and a few more for being more 'showtune' than rock instrumental), it still wound up this high. Make no mistake - this song is firmly into 'rock instrumental' territory from the beginning until the main fanfare at 3:22 - an incredible moment btw. I'm not even that big a fan of this musical overall, but boy the main theme is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUvUFZK5sLk ...and if you haven't seen the Mr. Show parody of JC Superstar, check this shit ooouuuuuutttttt 22) Planet X - Desert Girl Submitted by: Mr_Lasastryke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJxF-s96Igc The synth loop is so weird it's almost surreal....I'm still not sure if I like it or not. What I definitely do like is the phat beat drop at 0:43, then we go to an insane, frantic rhythm at 1:15, and back to the phat beat + a Rage Against the Machine bass riff this time at 1:31 - it's groove whiplash but in a great way. The section from 4:24-4:59 is wild - you have the guitarist, and especially the drummer, playing these crazy frantic fills - it almost feels like the whole thing's going to come apart, before they lock back in for the final ~minute. 21) The Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein Submitted by: TheKnightOfNee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65XSHM3jlAY One of the most well-known rock instrumentals ever recorded, and for good reason. Terrific musicianship all around, and the main riff goes hard right out of the gate. It pains me to say it as a drummer, but although the drumming elsewhere is excellent, I think the drum feature is the weakest of the solos and doesn't serve the song a whole lot. The build-up leading into it and the arpeggiation coming out of it are both great though. Nice addition of woodwinds at 1:32, that's a fun section. 0:16 is such a great little B riff, sounds like Beatles or something, it's really a shame it doesn't repeat near the end. --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify <cite>jcgamer107 posted [p:972621334] in Jcgamer ra...
