I was told I needed to broaden my horizons and listen to more classical music....okay

Mozart - Ecco la Marcia.

From Act 3, The Marriage of Figaro.

Are you sure? Because they were writing music to get paid back in the day, I’d imagine the same would hold true if they were writing for today. People don’t pay for out of tune garbage. Captain beef heart has a small niche and filled it.

Can you imagine what some of the classical composers would be playing today? It wouldn't be auto-tuned crap.

Although "classical music" in the Western sense is debatable terminology.

But let's say when the great opera houses were built.

So the first acts were usually servants or slaves sent to keep the seats.

Then the rich moved their tipsy supper party to the theater for the final acts.

Thus as an actor, the first acts were to completely indifferent people, but then you must raise the roof for e nobility who had too much Chardonnay.

Just found this thread and have only digested the first page and a half but I want to get back to watching the great NCAA tourney.

I'm gonna go old school with this one really quickly to bookmark this thread. It's not a shredder like in the OP, but Ritchie Frakking Blackmore is amazing on this. The slide guitar, the effects, the way he attacks the guitar just set it up for what is too brief of a orchestra session but we gets what we get.

Games over, so thought I'd throw this one in.

Scatterbrain. I saw these guys live and they were just like in this video. Kicked some ass that night.



Or we can do Mars: The Bringer Of War from ELP.

The Eagles:

That is Awesome i Downloaded that and will Play it Often.

Ironically the various styles of Heavy Metal (especially the post-punk New Wave of Heavy Metal in the late 1970's) had profound classical influences.

Although genres are very mixed nowadays, at one point one could say that's an American metal band (more blues, pentatonic minor scales), and that's a European metal band (more melodic major scales and classic influence).

But even the church-music people grew up with on respective continents was different.
Church music in Europe was heavily intertwined with classical composers, choirs and instruments.
There was no US-style gospel music till well post-World War II.
