[DieN]

Live: The Who: "Sparks"
Album: The Who: "The Rock"

[Ramihg]

Steve Vai and Joe Satriani have the best rock instrumentals.. Just at the top of my head try these songs:
Joe Satriani: Surfing With the Alien, The Extremist, Satch Boogie.
Steve Vai: Bad Horsie, Erotic Nightmares, Juice, Building the Church

Those have to be my favourites.. although there are alot of others. Have fun!

[bobsyouraunt]

Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Baroque & Roll, cause its ****in awesome

[H4x0r]

try this on for size, g3 live in denver, it has Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai together.Every song a favourite of mine.

[Kaarlo]

personally i rather like dream theater's dance of eternity. also another good one is emerson, lake & palmer's eruption which sounds a bit similar.

[nofx_2525]

Um..i would say.. Lamb Of God-Ashes Of The Wake-.-

[rockinlewis]

CKY - Testing is my favourite

[spunky_chooken]

wtf???? classic rock guys, not ****ty ****!

[Ramihg]

Indeed

[Malmsteen07]

Steve Vai - Blue Powder
Yngwie Malmsteen - Icarus suite opus 4
Hands down best instrumentals ever recorded ever...
I don't care how fast they play those tracks have serious emotion and arent just wankfests.
And this should be in the bands and artists forum not CR.
