i was with my dad the other day and he listens to a boomer rock radio station and when we got back in his truck they were playing an outro to a rock song that was sort of fast staccato strummed chords on what sounded like a 12-string acoustic guitar with strings/maybe string synth which then broke into a huge drum solo
what song is this? my dad didn't know and they didn't say what it was afterwards
the song kind of stops and then it starts again with the choppy acoustic guitar strumming and then goes into a sort of operatic sounding string section and then these huge flanged sounding drums come in
it seems like I've heard it before but ive tried looking it up using those terms with no results they dont have anything like that on their website i wish they did
this isn't it, the song i'm looking for was almost certainly a studio track
its not that. there aren't any electric distorted guitars in the song i'm talking about ekks dee le epic meme my fellow redditor upvoted big CHUNGUS style
Ian Phillips
Mr Blue Sky
Anthony Gray
My next guess would be to make a list of period related bands that did drum solos.
Landon Martin
Is it Kashmir?
Gabriel Butler
no. i know kashmir it isn't this either
Blake Martin
it wasn't pinball wizard was it? short and no strings but there's definitely some noticeable staccato
no. the strings/operatic sound that comes in after the drums might have been some kind of synthesizer, i don't know. maybe like a mellotron or something like that?
John Murphy
c'mon people this isn't some obscure song here
Jose Ramirez
Eminence Front by The Who?
Michael Jones
Its pretty hard to get a song just from a written description user. Still we're trying
Aiden Parker
no i'm looking through moody blues songs but i haven't found it yet, i have no idea what it is bit it has to be something they'd play on classic rock radio and i know they play the same stuff over and over with hardly any variation so it can't be some hidden gem they played once just to drive me crazy
