Ian Anderson. Well not just Ian with Jethro Tull . Kansas had a flute guy .Marshall Tucker had a flute guy. Tim Weisberg was on everyone's record for awhile. All I can say is flute solos were very big at one point.
0:34 hope yall get well soon 😂 Mike is cracking me up lately LMAO "guitars weren't invented when i was born, we had flute solos... thrashin' out on the mandolin" 😂
ZZ Top formed in 1969 and remained the same line up, the same 3 guys until Dusty Hill unfortunately died in 2021. Imagine being a 20yr old and being in the same band until you die at 72, mind blowing to think🤯
It's super neat to see how guitar changes throughout the years, as well as how one instrument can be used in so many different styles. Incredible, great reaction guys!
I heard a story about Bono. U2 was performing live and during a break, he started clapping wlowly to draw attention to famine in Africa. He said, "Every time I clap, a child in Africa dies of starvation". Someone in the audience Saud, "Well then quit fucking doing it!"
Paul Davids is a great guitar player, and he makes amazing videos. Very high level production, and very creative, and very tasteful in everything he does. He strikes me as a class act. I used to love his videos, and it's nice to see that orange Strat again.
He’s so professional yet friendly and encouraging in his videos, he’s proper class 🤘🏼 he’s one of a few music YTers I am always impressed with their video quality
He had Ozzy twice but we have to let that slide since the first one was Black Sabbath and the second was solo. That was really enjoyable guys. Thanks, as always, for the great video.
The fact that this guy is playing all these intro's using just one guitar and not changing levels or messing with an amp is amazing. Granted he's using effects pedals, but it takes a real pro to pull this off.
Around #51/52 on the list at 6:24 when asked if he had repeated any of the artists at that point in the list, technically he had since Eddie Van Halen was actually the guitarist on Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (#41), and obviously performed on "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" (#31) as well.
Holy S**t, guys, this is the best “feel good” video I’ve seen for awhile. That guy had the perfect idea for a video and between his riffs and your reactions, I had a big smile on my face the whole time!
20:24 “no one’s perfect i suppose” bc he’s playing all these songs in standard tuning this track is in drop d tuning lol he did a fucking great job adjusting these songs to work in standard and 21:48 he had to pitch shift his guitar down like the original track lol it was right whattt
He definitely played seven nation army in the right key. He played other ones in different keys though. gotta do what you gotta do to nail 80 songs man😂
FYI I graduated high school in '86. This video is great and I think there were 3 I couldn't get and they were towards the beginning. Loved when he played Stockholm Syndrome by Muse. Thanks guys!
HEY!! That's my guitar teacher from the Netherlands, Mr. Paul Davids! (online course, of course). He also did a great montage of acoustic guitar songs you might like a lot! If you ever want to learn the guitar, Paul gets my recommendation. Look for 'Learn - Practice - Play'.
They didn't play Fleetwood Mac twice, though "Big Love" was a slight cheat. The song was released in 1987 by the whole band, but the one he played was the acoustic version which was released in the 1990's. "Seven Nation Army" was played correctly. And, I would've loved to have seen the camera pointed at his feet. He must've had quite a few foot pedals for all of those different tones!
The first one that popped in my head was Sweet Child O'Mine. I'll admit I didn't know all the earlier ones but it's weird that on Beat It, Eddie Van Halen wasn't credited. Eddie did all of that almost last second on the spot, Michael had nothing to do with the guitar stuff.
Eddie specified that he didn't want to be credited, or paid for it. He knew it would only create arguments within Van Halen about him playing with other people, and making money without them.
Lots of iconic intros, but I think world wide Seven Nation Army would probably be the most iconic. It's played in just about every sports stadium across several different sports in every part of the world.
Technically Office Bloke Mike was right about the beginning to seven nation army, but if you listen he clicked two paddles before he started playing it and one of them might have dropped the whole guitar one octave. The real way to play it is to turn down the low E one octave.
Apache-- by the Shadows, a popular British band right before the Beatles that played mostly instrumentals on Fender Stratocasters (some of the first in rock), Billy Gibbons of ZZ top was one of Hendrix's favorite new guitar players in 1969-70.
Talking of Flute Solos, There's an Indian Folk Metal Band Called Bloodywood that have a Flute Solo in one of their recent Songs. It's titled Aaj which translates to Today.
Musical videos don't get the same amount of views as they used to back when they started the channel. Check out their older videos if you want music or join Patreon. Cheers!
Unfortunately he played a U2 song, that you had to be so hardcore of a fan if you followed them into Auchtung Baby. I’d say Joshua Tree for me was their last great album. Unforgettable Fire is probably my favorite one, but all their early punk era music was killer.
Didn't make sense not doing more than 1 song per year during the best guitar era (60's-80's), then having multiple songs per year in the early 2000's. Cool seeing two Steve Lukather-played songs (TOTO & Michael Jackson) on there though.
can almost say there was another two band... Black Sabbath and Ozzy... I am stretching that I know.. I was surprised how many 90's songs I did recognize, but after 2003 forget it.. #apster was n my life and I was using for old/classic and finding my love of some metal bands.. loved seeing Hocus Pocus by Focus was on this!
Sorry to double up, but wanted to say thanks, just added that Papa Roach song to my playlist. Glad he moved forward into the 90s because I never really dug into that decade or beyond. Hopefully some of the other viewers are finding new bits they like in here as well.
As good and fun as this was its a crime only 1 zz top and ACDC. no Kiss Detroit rock city, no Seger Old time rock and roll, no bad to the bone, no Stairway to heaven, no Frampton do you feel like we do, no dire straits, no Eagles hotel California.... that's just off the top of my head... what is te world coming to? 😀
I like different kinds of rock and know most of these songs. My favorite genre is punk. I like punk from the 70s-now. My avatar is a Bad Religion album.
I completely forgot that “Message in a Bottle” is as old as I am. I always think of it as mid-80s “Seven Nation Army” doesn’t sound right because I think Jack White used drop D tuning on the original; I feel like it would be difficult to play all of these songs with that tuning, so he transposed it. But I’m a violin and cello player, not guitar 😊 If my ears serve me right, he transposed “Sweet Child O’ Mine” as well, but it could’ve just been the key leading into it that threw me off. Idk.
Little wing might be my favorite guitar song of all time… so killer. Hard to choose between Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn’s versions, but I gotta go with the original
This was cool but it's kinda of a shame he really had to dig to find good guitar from the last two decades. You could easily do a top 80 for each decade of the 60's, 70's and 80's and still leave intros off each list that people would argue about including
Bravo and well done for whoever requested this one! Paul Davids is a brilliant guitarist TH-camr, his recent cover of Under the Bridge is addictive and mesmerising
“Just enjoy them you f’n miserable old bastard”. 😂😂 Quite possibly the funniest Daz one-liner ever
agreed haha
I fucking lost it! His off-the-cuff one liners are great.
22:12
I love Daz 😂
Lmao Mike saying they did flute solos back in his younger years had me dying 😂
I just assumed he was talking about Jethro Tull LOL
Ian Anderson. Well not just Ian with Jethro Tull . Kansas had a flute guy .Marshall Tucker had a flute guy. Tim Weisberg was on everyone's record for awhile. All I can say is flute solos were very big at one point.
😂 I didn’t catch that ,but now I’m crying
And "thrashing out on a f-ing mandolin". lol
Probably some straight heat though 🔥
0:34 hope yall get well soon 😂
Mike is cracking me up lately LMAO "guitars weren't invented when i was born, we had flute solos... thrashin' out on the mandolin" 😂
I love seeing Mike crack up. He looks so happy lately 😂
ZZ Top formed in 1969 and remained the same line up, the same 3 guys until Dusty Hill unfortunately died in 2021. Imagine being a 20yr old and being in the same band until you die at 72, mind blowing to think🤯
HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY DID AIN'T TALKIN' 'BOUT LOVE!!
I totally thought he wouldn't. Cause no one remembers that song but me.
The look on Mikes face when Dave asked isn't that your ringtone? That had me laughing my as off.
“Just enjoy it, you fuckin’ miserable old bastard!”. Best laugh I’ve ever had on the channel.
It's super neat to see how guitar changes throughout the years, as well as how one instrument can be used in so many different styles. Incredible, great reaction guys!
Wow, this just flew by! I wasn't expecting him to do it all in one take and so smoothly. Amazing talent.
7:51 Half your audience just said "Turn it up" instinctively when they heard the chords to that song.
Yep exactly 😂
Dave must have an employee evaluation meeting dressed like that. Lol
I heard a story about Bono. U2 was performing live and during a break, he started clapping wlowly to draw attention to famine in Africa. He said, "Every time I clap, a child in Africa dies of starvation".
Someone in the audience Saud, "Well then quit fucking doing it!"

He’s so professional yet friendly and encouraging in his videos, he’s proper class 🤘🏼 he’s one of a few music YTers I am always impressed with their video quality
Does he or has he played in any bands of note? He's so good I'm sure he must have in the past.
This is one off the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever watched
He had Ozzy twice but we have to let that slide since the first one was Black Sabbath and the second was solo. That was really enjoyable guys. Thanks, as always, for the great video.
Born in 1967 and proud of the ones he used! I like all kinds of music. Great job on this one!
The fact that this guy is playing all these intro's using just one guitar and not changing levels or messing with an amp is amazing. Granted he's using effects pedals, but it takes a real pro to pull this off.

That riff in particular was played by Steve Lukather actually, Eddie only did the solo.
Mike having Black Sabbath as a ring tone. . . you are SO COOL! 😎
Sunshine of Your Love--perfect riff. Thank you England for Clapton, Baker and Bruce!
Oops and Scotland--Jack Bruce!
"Just enjoy it, ya miserable old bastard" 🤣🤣🤣
I am subscribed to you and the more I listen to you all, the more I understand your type of English😀
Enjoyed watching this with you guys. Inspired me to pick up my guitar for the first time in months.
Holy S**t, guys, this is the best “feel good” video I’ve seen for awhile. That guy had the perfect idea for a video and between his riffs and your reactions, I had a big smile on my face the whole time!
There was only one repeat artist in there, he first played Black Sabath and later also played Ozzy Osborne solo
20:24 “no one’s perfect i suppose” bc he’s playing all these songs in standard tuning this track is in drop d tuning lol he did a fucking great job adjusting these songs to work in standard
and 21:48 he had to pitch shift his guitar down like the original track lol it was right whattt
Just saw The Killers last night in Chicago- Mr. Brightside was the last encore- the whole place exploded it was awesome
He definitely played seven nation army in the right key. He played other ones in different keys though. gotta do what you gotta do to nail 80 songs man😂
FYI I graduated high school in '86. This video is great and I think there were 3 I couldn't get and they were towards the beginning. Loved when he played Stockholm Syndrome by Muse. Thanks guys!
The composure, the talent, the eclectic music sense….
And the guy playing guitar is good too!
Its amazing how many of these great guitarists were British!
That was a great journey. I got a lot of goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥 it’s 2:52am here in Japan and Now I want to pick up my guitar!
he stumbled on the Stevie Ray song, but who wouldn't? He's the true guitar legend
Watch some of his other videos about SRV, he nails it.
y'all all responded to Sweet Home Alabama at the same time! Love it!

Love this you guys need to react to the best that rock and roll has to offer definitely do a top 100 rock songs or music video reactions
Mike was right. Some of those tunes were in the wrong key. Some songs require custom guitar tuning, so he transposed them into a different key.
That boy can play! That was amazing, I haven't seen any cuts either, seems like this is one take? May be wrong but still awesome.
I agree, Dave...that was the best out of the lot.
Surprised that ACDC Back In Black didn't make the cut.... iconic.
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cow bell.
"Isn't that your ringtone" LOL
I can't hear Don't Fear The Reaper without thinking about the SNL sketch with Christopher Walken.
He'd have to retune his guitar to do a mess of these but great job.
Loved it. ty for this.
What England did for rock music could never be matched 🏴
Rock music is American music, f*ck off!
How is along the watchtower not featured? It's such an iconic guitar intro.
Wow. That was great, guys! Top Man him.
The first one that popped in my head was Sweet Child O'Mine. I'll admit I didn't know all the earlier ones but it's weird that on Beat It, Eddie Van Halen wasn't credited. Eddie did all of that almost last second on the spot, Michael had nothing to do with the guitar stuff.

Haha love how he put the capo on for Wonderwall
You guys always crack me up! 😂
Lol ever notice when a brit tells a story it always starts "I went to the pub last nite..."
Seven nation army was perfect. He even used the pitch shifter to drop it an octave.
its interesting to hear all these songs with the same tunning and amp settings.
LMAOOOOOOOOO “AIDS”😭😭
Mike's ringtone being paranoid by black sabbath is for some reason really funny to me. 😆
Lots of iconic intros, but I think world wide Seven Nation Army would probably be the most iconic. It's played in just about every sports stadium across several different sports in every part of the world.
Technically Office Bloke Mike was right about the beginning to seven nation army, but if you listen he clicked two paddles before he started playing it and one of them might have dropped the whole guitar one octave. The real way to play it is to turn down the low E one octave.
Apache-- by the Shadows, a popular British band right before the Beatles that played mostly instrumentals on Fender Stratocasters (some of the first in rock), Billy Gibbons of ZZ top was one of Hendrix's favorite new guitar players in 1969-70.
Great video guys! Content was awesome and you blokes were hilarious.
Talking of Flute Solos, There's an Indian Folk Metal Band Called Bloodywood that have a Flute Solo in one of their recent Songs. It's titled Aaj which translates to Today.
14:27 thrashing out on the mandolin 😂
Hey guys, you could do more like this please. This was awesome.

Feel good mood is the perfect way to describe this video
Proper Ace video on this one Blokes. Keep em' coming lads.
Didn't make sense not doing more than 1 song per year during the best guitar era (60's-80's), then having multiple songs per year in the early 2000's. Cool seeing two Steve Lukather-played songs (TOTO & Michael Jackson) on there though.

Quite nice to see that Paul Davids can't make an acoustic Simulator sound any more convincing than I can.
The end was just pure flexing lol
I hate to say, I think the Brown Eyed Girl into is very iconic and he sounded just like the recording 👌
The greatest guitar intro for me is Scorpions - Sails Of Charon, don't really consider myself a fan of the genre but there's just something about it
One of best videos you ve picked ❤
Paul played ‘Satisfaction’ by the Rolling Stones, iconic!
Mike was playing the skin flute back in the day
amazing talent
Sorry to double up, but wanted to say thanks, just added that Papa Roach song to my playlist. Glad he moved forward into the 90s because I never really dug into that decade or beyond. Hopefully some of the other viewers are finding new bits they like in here as well.

He played Black Sabbath and Ozzy, but it was two different guitar players (Tony Iommi and Randy Rhodes respectively), so I don't think that counts.
By a LONG shot, Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" is the most iconic riff.
Paul Davids killed this opening riff video
This was way cool! Loved It!
America 🇺🇸 England 🇬🇧
Love ❤️
I like different kinds of rock and know most of these songs. My favorite genre is punk. I like punk from the 70s-now. My avatar is a Bad Religion album.
Seven nation army transitions from notes to a glass slide
Going back through this and making a new playlist
Dave sure says a lot of words without really saying anything
Oh. The number of movies these songs have been.
I would love more music reactions!
I can think of 80 more that could go on this list
All Along The Watchtower is a cover. Hendrix covered Dylan on that one.
Petition to take away Dave's pausing-the-video privilege.
A lot of good new songs but the intros from the older intros beat down the newer ones.
Paul David’s is a incredible guitarist he’s one of the best on TH-cam he’s one of the best out there please make more reactions to his videos
I completely forgot that “Message in a Bottle” is as old as I am. I always think of it as mid-80s
“Seven Nation Army” doesn’t sound right because I think Jack White used drop D tuning on the original; I feel like it would be difficult to play all of these songs with that tuning, so he transposed it.
