Joe Satriani - The bells of lal(part 2)

[cleremond]

The playing on this track was just absolutely inspired. This was back when Joe was still trying to make a name and was hungry to prove something. This is his "Eruption"! Best track on the album by far. The only thing that come close to this on FIABD would be his main solo on "I Believe". I get goose bumps every time I hear this stuff.

[godvergeten]

Every once in a while, those sounds starting at 1:07 pop up in my head, though I haven't listened to the song for years.

Can't do a fucking thing about it.

[truthhawk7]

My favorite song from Satch.

[AnnaAnnaYes]

"Surfing" may have sold more copies.But this is Satriani's best album by far!

[JC8546]

Uma das melhores músicas do Joe Satriani. D+!

[AnnaAnnaYes]

Stu Hamm fucking ROCKS on this Bassline!!

[DjAmbitiousHustla]

That groove! <3

[southflvitilla]

i pretty much like everything joe has done in his career, but the flying in a blue dream album is special for me. not only the songs are superb, but it takes me back to a real good time in my life.

[Preludiumi]

Does the LAL stand for Los Angeles or what?

[GladiatorsCorp]

@Preludiumi Lal is a character from the Star Trek series, it is an Android, the first one to look like it was having emotions, as it was processing danger situations and acting out of fear, Lal has the appearance of a humanoid female. It is cool to see that most of Joe's work is based on star trek facts.

[satchrules101]

@Preludiumi the story behind this is the bells of La some bells his wife gave him and the bells were for used on cam ails to cross the desert for good luck .. this has to be my fav of all time ...!!!!!!! FOR EVER JOE!!!!!!!!!!

[FiatObscuritas]

hard, why? i'll find out

[floridashorti]

the funk first then he SCORCHES the livin crap out of it

Satch RULES

[QuantumGh0st]

@floridashorti Nice description of the song. Lol, :)

[Impess99]

The intro to this song is so incredible... Joe Satriani is truly amazing.

[Onamonapiafied]

BEWHU BEWHU WAAAAAAH WEEEEEEEeH NYEEEEEHWHEEEEEEE NEEHNUNEHNUUUU NEEEEEEEWWWEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEEEI­IIEHEHE!!!!

[rungta7777]

i have love this song ... heard this more the 1000 times

[meknassi666]

satriani's the best at combining bass drums and guitar

some guitarists just focus on the guitar parts but I adore joe for not being one of them !!

[jar2089]

wow...maybe it's the best solo by satch??

[Metalqorri]

@jar2089

u can't chose a "best solo" from Satch, he has so many great solos. Try listening to Andalusia or The Forgotten part 2, those are two of my favorites.

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

@Metalqorri Some of my favourites include Surfin' With The Alien first solo, Ice 9, Friends, Driving At Night, Flying In A Blue Dream, Searching and Motorcycle Driver. Those are just a few, though.

[7byseven]

I like how he got the most out of the backing track, it's like a mash up of cool licks.

[TheRooster94]

DAMN, This song is SO catchy!

[Impess99]

@TheRooster94 I know, lol, just the bassline alone is so sick

[lowii237]

My favorite song on the whole album!!!!!!!!!!

[czarnuchification]

What a groove! Especially bass. Love it.

[namesR4tombstones]

People tend to overlook the strong rhythm behind this great instrumental...

Shame that.

[Ajohn13]

Damn, why is Satriani so good???? Makes me sick but he is great!!!!!

[namesR4tombstones]

@Ajohn13

Practice (and talent, of course!)

[megaladon73]

I love how the song ends the same way it begins, with the funk rhythm - you get the image of Satch walking into the room in the beginning of the song, while this cool funk thing is going on, laying down 4 minutes of blistering, face-melting guitar, and then just leaving the room as if nothing ever happened while the other guys are still playing the funk stuff and being like, "what the hell was THAT???"

[cfv22]

yo guys,the guitar on this song is sssiiiccckkk.unreal.i want to hear it live SO BAD.thks for the post Mrwinker.

[JC8546]

Amo esta música !!! Muita adrenalina de guitarra com baixo e bateria com swing de funk !!!!

[governorgilf]

I can't think of a better song that combines funk with metal! I literally wore this cassette tape out back in college.

[Obeth0020]

Acabo de escucharla, me encantaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! aaawwshf hheus temmtpurg ji laseewraa am, weedcfcx ---->[ Satriani Rulz ] <----

[Roddrummer]

Now you're just showing off, Joe!

Mindblowing piece of music!

[viperfishsasori]

Real guitar playing!!!!! I am tired of true talents like Joe not getting thier true accolades,

While so many of Todays "players" suck and consider this type of

guitar wizardy showing off! Chickenfoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnnaAnnaYes]

This is a better CD than "Surfing with the Alien"

[viperfishsasori]

@AnnaAnnaYes

 I agree

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@viperfishsasori The reason why so many of todays players suck

is because they feel they must develop an "image" first,and talent

second. Real guitarists like Rusty Cooley and Jeff Loomis represent

the new generation well,but they don't get the recognition they deserve.

Take Care!!

[cikcak01]

So glad to hear guys that you all love Satriani he is the greatest one !!

[joesatriani2006]

i would buy the album just for this song!

[ReViv4L]

I'm a big fan and this is one of the songs I wish he plays live someday!

[poleda1]

Thanks for the postings,brings back the satch days

[GuilleBlitzkrieg]

Sick fucking song!

Joe is the greatest one!

His style sounds so strange and unique!

He's very creative indeed!

[zubair671]

at some point in this piece sound becomes light- close you're eyes and enjoy satriani's vision. Something similar, on the same level is Go Strange by frank marino with jimmy ayoub on drums done in 1981: the power of rock 'n' roll.

[toolvool]

SICK BASS LINE SICK SOLO SICK SONG

Joe Satch rules!!!!!!!

[metalstance07]

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!

[mzmadmike]

@toolvool Stu Hamm on bass. Check out his other stuff.

[mdelair420]

@toolvool yea joe layed down te bass to.he did alot on this amazing album. first time i heard this i was 18. i went rite out and got a copy.peace

[marek0086]

percussion and base sounds better than Joe.

[metallicarox80s]

You mean *bass?

[marek0086]

i sure do!

[metalstance07]

nobody can touch this guitarist,he rules!minor,major,whatever man!!overdoze me please.......

[inghamket]

overdoze of minor mode, hahaha , minor.zip

[mdelair420]

satch is so bad ass he just plays like he is a alien.there are more notes in this song than ten songs put together.he just blows you away with that bad ass sound he has made his own.a true master in the ways of string instuments. tracks on this and other albums he has made,look in the jacket some or most he laid down the bass line as well.simular to y.malmsteen he also did alot of the bass work along with guitar.these type of musicians our rare indeed.peace,godbless. we know satch is blessed.

[GodsTwoProphets]

I can't believe someone actually gets it. Today's pop music is so constricted in it's scope. It's as if this is too inaccessible to them or something, most people just don't get it.

[mdelair420]

thanks, yea alot most just dont realize how much brillance this takes.plus satch was a teacher as well.he gave kirt hammet lessons,as well as other famous muscians.peace and happy new year.

[OmegasisGuyver]

my favorite satriani song ever

[Asahel318]

The bass line sounds like "She wants to move" by Nerd.

[Robearwgl]

killer base line too!!!

[gabbubbele]

my favourite one..

[westernflyer45]

The lick at 3:28 gives me chills every time. Sick.

[chtephoune]

ǝɯosǝʍɐ

[alekhine05]

One of the best solos of satch!

[satchrules88]

one of my favs

[jjgfx]

i wish he would play this live one day

[batvette]

you notice that too, huh.... for like almost 18 years this is my favorite guitar instrumantal and the putz just cuts the track and forgets it, like "oh what was that? I forget! there was no song there-forget it, move along!"

It goes to show even the most talented artist can still have horrible taste in music, not recognizing the best of their own work.

[Pauliv]

haha interesting comment
