Steve Morse - Cruise Missile Promo Video

[Socioistic]

One of the coolest basslines to have ever been invented.

[ohjames88]

Crazy shit! its funny how everyone in this band wants to be the lead guitarist ...even the drummer. He's all like "maybe if i smile big like EVH people will remember im here"

[jaquestotite]

Jerry Peek = underrated

[MrEddieMurray]

esse maluco eh bon !

[2Funky4me]

holy funk, a tele on steroids!

[TheMinority13]

Omg, I LOVE the bass in this song :D

[lewisoscar]

one of my very favourite tunes..... EVER!

Used to watch the film ski patrol endlessly as a kid... which combined with morse sound track is a classic..

good post thanks :)

[bigbadtone5]

POWERFULL SHIT LOVE IT,THEY DONT DO SHIT LIKE THIS ANYMORE ,WHAT A SHAME

[kingxofxsuede]

@bigbadtone5 They do man! You just have to dig a bit.. Look up Carl Roa and one of his projects, The Magic Elf. My old teacher's the bassist and turned me onto 'em =)

[grailkin]

I was so blown away by Steve the first time I saw him......he is just insanely great

[w5cdt]

That's pilot Steve.

[chype]

I wrote to him and he answered my question as well as posting it on his website. What a nice fellow :)

[10mak01]

deadboys1010, just go away you simpleton.

[jaquestotite]

And the rhythm section too. This was BAD when tit came ou!

[deadboys1010]

This was recommended off of a video of the Wipers.

-_-

Youtube, what the fuck!?

Nice bass work, but its just the same incredibly gay, instrumentally appealing (or unappealing, in my case) setting that Mr. Big brought to the table. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the Wipers.

[TravelingWheatheads]

@deadboys1010

Just so you know, this song came out years before Billy Sheehan took off his diapers and even thought about playing bass. Jerry Peek has since done some other similar work with violinist David Ragsdale. Check it out.

[kingxofxsuede]

Just because Jerry Peek is wear a gay sailor outfit, doesn't detract from the music... This is in no way like Mr. Big too.. Listen to other Steve Morse/Dixie Dregg stuff.

If you think instrumentally advanced music is gay or unappealing... I don't even know what to say.

[deadboys1010]

No, you're right, gay was the wrong word for it. Just my very first reaction to the overly 80s video.

I have a friend who loves Dixie Dregg. I didn't know Morse played for them before. Its still not my niche in music, but I could get into it more than this.

Personally, I don't find virtuoso instrumentals all that appealing. I respect the guys for what they can do, but the music doesn't mean anything to me.

Which makes it all the more confusing why youtube recommended the video to me.

[BJrok]

Am I the only one who likes his tele tone better than his musicman?

[onegnarlyguitar]

I saw this tour at the The Wiltern Theater in LA. I think they headlined over Jeff Berlin and Vox Humana (w/ Scott Henderson on guitar). It was the first time I ever saw Morse and, as you can imagine, I was completely floored. Later in the show, Andy West came out on stage and they played several Dregs tunes, I think it was Assembly Line and Pride O' the Farm. I could barely sleep that night and the very next day I went out and bought Dregs of the Earth. It was all I could find that day!

[shreder1500]

how does morse get that cool chorus sound at like 3.15, what effects is he using?

[ksmithdc]

@shreder1500 Steve plugs into two amps; a dry amp --> preamp out --> into a Lexicon PCM41 (chorus)-->volume pedal; Lexicon PCM42 Delay --> volume pedal --> wet amp.  The chorus is the PCM 41.

[jenko701]

What Ever happend to jerry peek ,I used to see him in a killer band called 3PM .late 70,s in Raleigh NC

[gvt76]

Jerry Peek is outstanding! I used to watch this vid on my vcr twice a day!!! One fo the top 100 coolest songs from Morse Band in my opinion! : )

[kingxofxsuede]

One of the top 100 coolest song of all time IMO.

[gizzad]

@kingxofxsuede hell yeah! i love finding my people on you tube.

[Ufipman]

I heard he went to go work for some kind of company that dealt with plastic after this album...I think I remember Morse saying this.

[gozapinya]

Very cool to see the video after a lot of years.

My old band used to play this tune. One of my favorites that we did.

It used to take a lot of stamina to play on the drums.

[elletsco]

the best guitar / bass duo that i have ecer heard. vai and sheehan are insane, but these two are so far beyond.

[MagellanOfBass]

This bass solo is great but unlike some other guys that commented here I can't it's my favourite!! I'd have to go for "Kat Food" by the Dixie Dregs... Andy West's solo there just fucking blows me away EVERY TIME, I always play it back over and over again...

[MagellanOfBass]

I meant I can't say*

[trevmm]

great tune one of my faves of morse the introduction great album p.s check out my channel for more good stuff

[elletsco]

king of guitar. arguements welcome.

[hakkerxxx]

Everyone in this group is awesome!!

[randallcaster]

Nice to see the Frankentele again! The equivalent of

Metheny's original es 175. I feel greatful to have seen them both playing thier original axes.

[juvserr]

Bought 'the introduction' after reading a write up of Steve - almost wrecked my car while listening to this on the drive home - Peek, Morgenstern and Morse rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DUSTYBASS]

Just incredible bass, so gifted! Not only how fast and accurate but what you play fast and accurate. AWESOME BASS!!!!

[snacksforaddicts]

Jerry Peek is incredible. He has the biggest palette of any bassist.

[rcskins]

I wouldn't want to follow that.

[kingxofxsuede]

Jerry Peek's solos are the reason why puppies are born.

[NeoThirteen]

ROFLMAO

The dude is bad ass

[fndrbss]

When did SM ever play with Winger? That's (disturbing) news to me. Or was that meant as a joke?

[macw04]

Steve Morse never was a part of the group winger, he filled in on some shows after reb beach left the group and Rod Morgenstein was steve morses drummer before he played for winger.

[fndrbss]

I don't doubt you but I can't find any mention of SM ever playing with Winger in any capacity. Hmmm.

[littlebus17]

The Drummer played with WInger...

[fndrbss]

Stewart from B&B wore a Winger t-shirt...or was it SM wore a B&B shirt? It's all so confusing... I went to a Deep Purple/Lynyrd Skynyrd show just to see SM play. A true master.

[philipshield]

On of my favourite songs by Morse!, Thanks for the video! Steve morse is a great guitarist

[clintbronson5]

Ummmmmmm Chris Impellitteri-Tony McAlpine-Vinnie Moore-Gary Hoey you guys can sit down now!

Big Papa Steve is in DA HOUSE!

[JTheSix]

faces xd

[mjolnir919]

Even blindfolded, within 2 bars, you always know it's Steve. His writing is that distinctive and beautifully crafted. Each tune is a box of smiles.

Thanks so much for posting this one.

[purple2112]

2:02 sounds like Walk this way by aerosmith

xD

[jspen2]

Wow!! Can't believe the stuff one can find on this here youtube.  Just great! Thanks for posting. Easy 5*

[ricaard]

My favorite Morse Band song! Thank-you for loading this one! They edited out part of the bass solo, though, as well as part of the head.

[smp156]

everybody thinks that EVH (cue blood-vomit) had such a crazy-looking guitar... wow, one pickup and some stupid stripes!!!

[jimisback]

I'd like to see what Steve would do with a Les Paul. His adjustments of course.

[scooticus]

It's the Frankentele!! Haven't seen this guitar on Steve in years.

[hipforgeman]

Dudes Mars is one ad Bass player!!

[hipforgeman]

Oh shit i just realized this is Jerry Peek on Bass not Mars. This is the real thing here on BASS. BMF!

[ibanezman14]

whoa dude those pickups are amazing on his guitar!

[ibanezman14]

fuckin amazing bass line, guitar is pretty sick as well.

[rondonjoseantonio]

simplesmente o melhor guitarrista do mundo!!!!!!!!!!!cara tu é bom mesmo Morse =D

[GaryNull]

That drummer is lame.

[jimisback]

You need to look into his stuff. Rod Morgenstien.(sp) Great drummer.

[peanutavalon]

dude, you have no idea!!

[GaryNull]

I have ears; you don't.

[MagellanOfBass]

Dude you can't say that Rod Morgenstein is lame, especially not if you've only heard this song. By the looks of you're channel you're into some pretty good guys (I even see a Buddy Rich video fav'd) so I'm sure that if you gave this guy a chance and heard some more of his stuff you'd change your mind. Get some Dixie Dregs albums like What If and Dregs of The Earth and you'll see what I'm talking about. Stay cool

[bigbadbob58]

Rod Morgenstein lame? Someone been smoking crack again?

[JonP1961]

@bigbadbob58

/watch?v=RgDTjd4TL4o <- Pretty lame, eh? ;)

[jeanapheena]

he's okay...he could've picked a better follow-up band to play with than Winger

[GaryNull]

maybe he couldn't, lol . . hence my point

[mariorudan]

great

[swennsyever9]

whatever happened to jeery peek? guy records the greatest bass solo ever and disappears from the face of the earth? maybe morse&morgenstein bumped into him while on some sort of interplanetary musical oddysey and he was "just visiting" this little spinning stone in space just long enough o record 1 lp b4 going back home to his own little stone?

[schnickita]

One video! But THE ONE! Steve Morse is my favorite guitarplayer. Thanks for posting! =:@] schnickita

[sandblastskin]

Jerry Peek is the MAN!

[mudylafeet]

damn, wish Morse still played the Tele, what awesome tone

[ibanezman14]

dude that is THE best tone i have ever heard come from a guitar

[mudylafeet]

indeed

Morse should get back on the Tele

i saw him here in Brazil with Deep Purple and his tone just wasnt all that great, but the playing was impecable

SM is awesome

[effzee]

Steve Morse is about the coolest gentelman guitar God alive. Thanks for post this! Woo Hooooooo!

[ahab666999]

eric johnson too

[countrysamurai]

OMG...he is absolutely brilliant! No we are not worthy! I have loved his music since he was with the Dregs! Rock On....Steve!!!

[MoGreensEye]

Where in the hell has Jerry Peek disappeared to?!

[poncelled]

I had wondered the same thing lo those years ago. I haven't heard hide nor hair of him either. A hell of a lot of musicians come and go after a stand-in opportunity and pursue a lot of other non musical commitments.

[Frisbieinstein]

Maybe my favorite bass solo. A few bars were edited out, too bad.

[ProtoCosmos]

Yeah, the coolest part in my opinion

[ZZFerdinand]

Greatest rock bass performance ever

[sirvoltage]

Sir Steve Morse!

We're not worthy!

[darrenmichaels]

Jerry Peek friggin' rules.

[mhanzo]

I agree that the intro is missing, in fact, the promo video doesn't have it :(

[DEATHddc]

This song is too great to be true, but dude!!! you are lacking that beautifull intro!!! still great thought. :)

[mhanzo]

This song rocks! And Jerry Peek looks like a friend of mine :D

[daleturner]

RAWK!!!!!!!! I still have this album on tape :-)
