Title: What in god's name is this song?!
Post by: Snake on Fri 21/10/2011 17:11:00
This has been solved, but if anyone else has a song that they are having trouble finding out what it is, feel free to post it here. If it's alright with the m0ds of course.

Hello, guys. I've had this song in my head all morning and I've figured out how to play it (at least this one riff) on my own, but I can't for the life of me remember what band it is that played it...

Here's the link to the song (http://www.freewebs.com/spentertainment/MISC/braincramp.mp3)

I hate this because I know who they are,  but now that I've finally learned this, I can't remember!

\\--EDIT--//
Here, I've re-recorded the song with a basic drum beat to help illustrate. I was thinking that maybe the beat of what I was playing was a bit lost since there were no drums. What I'm playing on the guitar is how the song starts and is the main riff throughout the song.

Nope, that's far from it, Zoot ;)

I was thinking maybe it was the band "Free", but I'm not sure now.

I'm sticking to my guess.

I am with Zoot.  That clip you made sounds a lot like Who Are You.

Guys, I can assure you and put the lives of every AGSer here on it that Who Are You is not the song.

I can say fairly confidently that is isn't Who Are You :)

I don't know...  It sounds somewhat familiar, and has a distinctive older maybe 70s or 80s vibe to it.  Where did you hear it?  The radio?  What kind of music or what era of music?

I'm pretty sure that it's 70's, maybe late 70's VERY early 80's. Like I mentioned earlier, I thought it was the band "Free" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siMFORx8uO8), but now I'm not too sure.

I definitely know the song, but can't remember what it's called or who plays it. I'm thinking maaaybe Boston? I think I'll ask my mom.

I don't know what that song is, but what I do know is that I want you to keep playing it.

It feels like Ratt.

This is not it, but it feels like it.

Sounds like "Livin' After Midnight" by Judas Priest to me.

It's a bit of a stretch ... but that was what popped into my head!

edit - just listened to your second link (w/ drums) ... I'm pretty sure this is it now :)

Fuckin' right, DDQ! That is the one! THANK YOU!
(or should I thank you're mum? ;))

Darth, nice try, the drums are almost exactly the same... hahaha

Duals, what the hell? I've been trying to get a hold of you! Working, no?

\\--EDIT--//
Oh and Dan, thanks very much. You made me laugh hysterically. Well, maybe not hysterically, but I laughed ;D

I'll PM the address Dual, but just so you know....it was kinda part of the marriage vows that I have to finish LE, so if you could have some thoughts in the background that'd be super!  8)

Oh, darn it! Well, if you could be so kind as if to send me all the files, I'd be glad to send it to Bungie, so they can make HALO 7: THE LEGEND OF LEITOR'S EDGE.
