The most bad ass song of all time?

[Inspector #20]

There is always Hendrix.
Pick a song. Any song really.
They are all oozing with badassery.
Hey Joe
Foxy Lady
Purple Haze
Voodoo Chile.
Along the Watchtower
Wind Cries Mary.
Hell. He made the Star Spangled Banner badass.

For me, recording a cover of "All Along The Watchtower" was a milestone for me. I was so impressed with Hendrix.

So most bad ass is hard to pick but I would give this one contender status for me and the song that changed my life. Made me want to play guitar.

That is a bad ass song. I have been playing it in the car a lot. Love everything about it.

So you want me to pick just one and says that's the most badass of all time? Just take my eyes, my kids and my wallet why dontcha?!? Lmao jk


Oh boy....to pick just one?

I know I'll turn right around after this and go " Oh $hit I forgot this other song!!" But, I'll play

Right now off the top of my head?

Here's why I say this:
1) It sums up the rock n roll attitude, perfectly
2) It's a song written for the fans themselves
3) It's the ultimate closer of any show, especially adding cannons blasting at the crowd


But in fairness, I can name off at least 20 others right now that I'd say are just badass thru and thru

Malcom- check
Cannons -check
Stadium ready-check
:dood:

Pick a UFO song. All good.

By the way on Don Kirshiners he is player my favorite guitar. The Medalian "V" only a few hundred made in 1971. T Tops and a plexi. I'll be damned if I hear a wah?

I saw Schenker a few years ago and he still brought down the house with Doctor doctor

Zep is part of my core being.
Hard to pics a fav.
Seeing this from the MSG vid as a teenager made me want to play.

Hard to argue that the mighty Zepplin is not a huge contender, so many songs to pick from. I saw the laser zepplin at the planetarium under the influence of herbal medication a few times. And laser Floyd also.

 

[C-Grin]

Maybe not a contender but one of my all time faves, just try not to sing along
(Its not possible to resist)

The planetarium in Pittsburgh did the same thing - they called it laserium.
I saw the Floyd version under similar circumstances.

Everything is so subjective. Lots of good songs and I keep going back to Sails of Charon. It checks al boxes for a metal guitar performance.

Not everyone will see that the same way on another forum I used to spend lots of time on it would be beat down.
I appreciate the open minded folks here.

Well said sir, i also appreciate the ability for us to have different thought and not get a smack down for it. There is so much good music out there we all get to have our fave. Hell I didn’t even make a snarky comment about that Nickleback tune (just busting balls norm it is a great tune). But I digress.
I have a wide variety of things I like I grew up with pshycadelic rock in one house hold and the ballad of the green beret in the other, you there was both kinds of music there Country AND Western. But the herb flowed from both sides, so there had to be common ground somewhere.

 

[DirtySteve]

There are too many, my brain is about to explode trying to pick one. I'll just put up this one, definitely badass.

 

[smitty_p]

Hard to pick a "most".
One of my favorite jams.

Ha!

I have that DVD of the Doobies at Wolftrap. What’s even funnier is that I watched it last night right around the time you made this post!

Crazy, huh?

 

[smitty_p]

I can’t answer this thread, at all.

I am, quite decidedly, not anywhere close to being a “bad a__“ type of person. I couldn’t pick a suitable song to save my life.
