What do you feel are the best Rock Instramentuals out there, of any style or sub-genre.

The fuck is an "instramentual"? Is it a partial menstral cycle, or something? Oh, INSTRUMENTAL.

 

My favorites are:

Shadows Fall - "Casting Shade"

Shadows Fall - "Lead Me Home"

Beyond The Embrace - "The Bending Seas"

Dream Theater - "Overture 1926"

Metallica - "Orion"

Metallica - "To Live Is To Die"

Speaking of instumentals, what's everyone's opinion on Joe Satriani?

 

I have two of his albums (Surfing With the Alien and The Extremist) and happen to enjoy his work enough to want to get more of it.

Chimaira- Implements of Destruction

 

Great song, and an awesome album altogether. Everyone needs to own Chimaira's 'The Impossibility of Reason'. You won't regret buying it, unless you absolutely hate that kind of music.

I have most of Satch's work including 2 live albums.

 

Flying In A Blue Dream is a great album, but 5 songs have him singing. His voice isn't all that bad, but his lyrics are very campy in the "let's rock forever" sorta way.

 

You should pick up Crystal Planet next, which is my favorite Satriani album.

Anyone here like Acoustic? Two words: Leo Kottke. He's like the Hendrix of acoustic guitar. Seriously. Most of his CD's/albums are mainly instrumental and AMAZING.

 

Edited: And of course, the coda of Layla.

I saw Leo Kottke in concert. Oh man, he did more talking than playing. It was horrible. He talked and talked and talked about the dumbest stuff and of course all the fourty year old midwesterners laughed and laughed. It was painful to sit through.

 

I do think his albums are solid espically his most recent.
