Top Gun Anthem (Steve Stevens) - Por André Leonardo (Med Guitar).

André Leonardo, a medical student of the University Center of Maranhão (UNICEUMA), São Luis, playing Top Gun Anthem, theme from the movie Top Gun, composition of guitarist Steve Stevens. One of the most beautiful guitar solos.


"Top Gun Anthem" is an instrumental rock song played on guitar by Steve Stevens. It was the theme for the 1986 film Top Gun. A variant of the song without the electric guitar is played at the introduction when an F-14 Tomcat is being prepared to takeoff from the aircraft carrier. After the F-14's engines are on full afterburners and the aircraft subsequently launches from the catapult, the music changes immediately to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins.
Top Gun Anthem won a 1987 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. The song's music video, directed by Dominic Sena, shows Harold Faltermeyer playing the piano and Stevens on electric guitar in a hangar with Naval aircraft. This video was re-released within the 2004 Top Gun Collector's Edition DVD.
The song was put together by composer Harold Faltermeyer, who was recording keyboard parts for Billy Idol's Whiplash Smile album. Harold asked Stevens to play guitar on the track. Stevens was shown a clip of the then untitled film, and agreed to play on the track because the film seemed like it would be a smash hit. A guitar track had already been laid on the demo that was given to Stevens. Stevens wanted to record his parts using one track, and avoid any overdubbing.[citation needed]
Stevens used a Hamer SS into an old plexi-front 100 watt Marshall to record his part. He also used a small Boss compressor pedal to add more sustain.[citation needed] There is only one guitar track throughout the entire piece, with the exception of the fade.
The song is available on both the original Top Gun soundtrack album and the expanded edition.
