OT: The all encompassing HFSabres music thread with no rules (as long as it’s music posted)
- Thread starter MarkusKetterer
- Start date
All right, folks, here's a question: what songs get you amped up in the opening 5 seconds? I'm thinking Machinehead, Separate Ways, stuff that is iconic and cool and when it starts you just say Let's ****ing Go!
This is sort of a personal thing though right? Thinking of things off the top of my head -
This particular live version of this song -
This mostly out of wanting to simply shout this at life -
The urge to hit shit -
I'm sure there are others, those are what I could think of in the last few minutes and find links to quickly.
First five seconds instant mood switch? In no particular order

whoa. I didn't know this was a list challenge. I'll be back....
I've never seen this Styx (non-original lineup) cover of the Humble Pie classic. If you haven't heard the Steve Marriott / Peter Frampton / Clem Clempson / Greg Ridley / Jerry Shirley version, this one is pretty damn good alternative. It also looks as though there was an orchestra joining for portions of this show.
Went to Ireland recently and it was awesome wandering in to random pubs, along the way or middle of nowhere, and there's just a couple dudes chilling in the corner singing and jamming on Uillean pipes or accordions.
And thanks for the Guy Clark reminder, I circle back to him a lot when I'm trying to learn new stuff on the guitar. My favorite of his; I'd give my left nut to play like this

The first twenty seconds of "Sleep Now in the Fire" - RATM is as good as any cup of coffee or B12 shot out there
Released 50 years ago this month, Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow" was IMO his seminal work. A world-of-music-exploration into rock, fusion, jazz, funk, etc.. and he loved it all.. Here's a couple of the more popular favorites on the album, but there really are no weak links from start to end.
One of the several linkages / collaborations between Jeff Beck and Stevie Wonder. in the 1970s.
George Martin of Beatles fame was also the producer for this album. Beck covered The Beatles Lennon-McCarthy written "She's a Woman".

My sophomore year roommate was astounded when I said, "I hate U2." His name was Calvin, and he was a Calvinist. Like the actual thing, not an ego trip.
