Just wanted to say how addicted I've become to a certain song.
Marty Friedman - Forbidden City. I play it again and again lately.
It seems to have everything I want a guitar instrumental to have.. Drama, passion, a little show-off, speed, feel, pompousness, composition, melody, melody, melody.. It's as if Marty had one chance to show just how serious he was about guitarplaying and how much it means to him, and gave all he got and ended up with a product greater than the sum of its parts, something rare, otherworldly, maybe even a bit divine. I might even go as far as call it the most awesome piece of shred I have ever heard. At least up to this date. It raises the hair on my back every damn time I hear it. It's really something special.
I have a similiar reaction when I listen to Schenkers intro to "Doctor Doctor" on the Strangers In The Night album too.. Almost brings tears to my eyes cause it's so emotional (to me).. Same with Eruption the first time I heard it, but that experience has kinda been ruined by all the wannabe's insisting on playing it to death..
Anyone else get a similiar reaction not nececerally to that song, but maybe have another song(s) that just raises the hairs flat on your back and makes you want to.. just scream and go wild cause it touches and triggers something really deep inside of you?
