Your Favorite Pick Slide Ever Recorded?

[serial]

The first ones I noticed was the Boston stuff. I was starting to actually pay attention to guitar parts in songs on the radio (thanks to Kiss) and thought Tom Sholz' stuff was the coolest sounding stuff ever. It was one of the first really good distinct guitar tones I could discern

My fave is Angus on HTH.

Steve Hackett on Genesis' The Musical Box was the first one I can remember, and one of the most notable to me because you didn't hear a lot of them in the early '70's (he was also an early practitioner of two-handed tapping).

There's two examples at 3:49 and 7:05 here:

Magic Bus, Live at Leeds. was probably the first one I was aware of what I was hearing. So prolly that

Yes, that one but there was also another that stands out in my mind. I don't remember which I'd heard first. But the other one wasn't in a song it was coming into (fading in) on the first Kiss Alive album. There was also a flanger involved. I remember rushing out to buy the album because that sound byte was in the TV commercial. Seems like it was coming into the 2nd or 3rd side.

You guys are waaaaay off. Best one ever?

Nigel. 'His solos are his trademark'- right before he starts kicking the out of tune Bc rich.

Many good ones in here.

One of my favs is just before the first chorus....

[RobB]

The beginning of the outro solo on "Heaven and Hell", eight bars before Dio comes in with, "... they say that life's a carousel", etc.

That one sounds absolutely menacing.

Laneys and treble boosters: can't argue with Mother Nature.

The strangest pick slide I ever heard was by Greg Lake on his Alembic bass on "Fanfare For The Common Man"...

[Hamer Bass Head]

How about a 2-fer? "the needle lies" intro on Queensryche's Mindcrime.

That slide is Ted and Derek doing pickslides at the same time. That makes it sound so thick!
