super-righteous songs with that samba-rock thundering galloping horse rhythm like barracuda by heart or the immigrant song by zeppelin

1. barracuda
2. the immigrant song

3. Achilles' Last Stand

4. I Am Ahab - Mastodon

5. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

samba?

idgi

yeah this is not a samba guys

Figured this was some kind of crit-speak impressionistic use of the word "samba" and it sort of made sense to me that way.

yea they usually just call it a 'gallop' pattern.

Metallica's "Battery" is a faster version of this.

"Holy Diver" is a slower version of this.

use of sixteenth notes maybe.

i can see that, like how samba stresses the ONE e and UH TWO e and UH THREE, and that barracuda rhythm is ONE e AND UH TWO e AND UH THREE, you know?

yeah i was just fucking around, obviously not technical/exactly/really samba but kind of reminiscent somehow of that lurchy gallopy thing i hear in samba too

haha when we did the metal/hard rock songs poll a few months ago, the top 3 on my ballot was "Barracuda," "Achilles" and "Run To The Hills," true story

yeah it's the kick on the 1st, 3rd and 4th sixteenths that define this (snare on the 5th obv)

i can see that, like how samba stresses the ONE e and UH TWO e and UH THREE, and that barracuda rhythm is ONE e AND UH TWO e AND UH THREE, you know?

basically this stuff and Thin Lizzy (do TL have any songs that fit in this thread? hmm) kind of describe the kind of hard rock and early metal i like, stuff that's fast and driving but still kind of swings. are there any modern/cool/underground metal bands that do that kind of thing well?

you mean in the drum part, right? i feel like that rhythm (the one i posted) only gets really obvious in samba when an electric bass is involved, otherwise the surdo parts are don't stress that "uh" as much (although it's in some of the other percussion parts, like the tamborim and pandeiro).

I was actually just speaking from the point of view of the guitar.

Budgie-Napoleon Pt I and II

Yeah but in Samba the most important stress is the "UH" and in the gallop it's still the downbeat.

are you nerdy drummers gonna post stuff that sounds like barracuda or immigrant song or just talk about what samba is

yeah totally

(although i'd still argue that samba is a lot heavier on the downbeat when there is a surdo line involved, a la: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4Nhd8cmDGo)

Kind of a kindred slightly-mutated version of it, but to my ears certainly a righteous song, and related. You can hear the "Immigrant Song" guitar riff rolling along with the intro.

Drive Like Jehu, "Future Home of Stucco Monstrosity" (only the first 4 minutes of the utube):

Kind of unique in their cataloque too, a great album closer.

I meant that you can kind of hear the "Immigrant Song" riff laid over the top if you use your imagination, it isn't actually there.

"thunderkiss '65" (white zombie) uses that immigrant song rhythm

Make sure to plug some decent outboard speakers into your computer, especially if you have a laptop.

I guess The Darkness and Jet were playing in this kind of mode. I don't know if they are considered metal though.

Oh sweet jesus that solo in "Keep Yourself Alive". I think it may be my favorite Queen song ever!

ehhh, they're both more indebted to the more rigid 4/4 riff rock style of AC/DC, which i also love but is a completely different thing.

Kiss - I was made for loving you has this going on iirc

Stevie nicks 'edge of seventeen' is kind of a steady, cool, hinged take on this theme, eh?

You need to hear Slade's super righteous "Run Runaway" if you are into gallop-wave.

man, that Nazareth clip is awes -- never seen it before ('Loud and Proud' one of my fave albs of all time) -- thanks for posting, henry

how the heck did this thred make it this far without "Crazy Horses"??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy2Cg6PprvQ

oh yeah, "Crazy Horses", that's a riff...there's another clip of this on the Youtubes, where the Osmonds are decked out in the craziest pimp outfits ever...

I love how the audience just sits there during the Nazareth performance...the whole thing feels like performance art...

I love Keep Yourself Alive. it's a shame I like so little of the rest of Queen I.

You have to be Canadian to know this one:

It's also the only samba-rock thundering galloping horse song with a kazoo solo.

Obviously by name, but in the verses especially.
