Re: Songs that make you want to turn up the volume

Great thread Zurf and thanks for resurrecting it captainbinky (and welcome to Chordie!).

Does anybody remember the band Triumph? Man, I remember my first car - a '74 Olds Cutlass Supreme - Cost me $900 and then I spent $600 on the stereo. I used to blast some Triumph from that thing. It sounded good from blocks away!

Definitely, 'Gimme Shelter' (Rolling Stones)!

Also,

Jimi Hendrix: 'Voodoo Chile'.
Rolling Stones: 'Honky Tonk Women'.
Queen: 'We will Rock You',

Are among many that blasts the old 'cobwebs' away.

You may be wierd, but if you are it isn't because you like to blast "Green Grass and High Tides."  That is definitely blastable.

Funny story with that song, or at least The Outlaws.  My brother-in-law Wild Bill and I were kayaking and fishing on a large river near my home.  As we were approaching the beach on an island that we intended to land and then wade from, we noticed that someone had already beaten us to the spot.  There was a tent set up, and music playing from a boom box.  As we got closer, we noticed that there was a very skinny, naked, not terribly hygienic looking man sitting in a lawn chair on the beach.  I don't mean to imply that he was filthy, but it did look like he had been camping a couple days and without benefit of a shower wasn't as fresh as he could have otherwise been.  He was cleaning a handgun.  He had a close eye on Wild Bill and I, but we figured that it's a public river.  It was hot.  There was a large pool to fish.  We could see fish in the pool.  We inclined ourselves to fish the pool, naked dirty man with gun or no naked dirty man with gun.  We did incline ourselves to fish from our kayaks directly rather than landing on the beach.  Well, that naked dirty man with a gun didn't wave when we waved at him.  He just glared at us.  And he kept glaring at us while we fished.  He wasn't aiming anything at us, which relieved us greatly, and so we kept fishing and he kept glaring.  The music ran out, so he set aside the gun for a moment and put in a new CD.  The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides!  Well, Wild Bill is a big Outlaws fan so he yells over to the naked dirty man with a gun, "Hey Beau!" (Wild Bill calls everyone Beau) "Crank it up!"   Well, naked dirty man with a gun sets his gun aside, turns up the Outlaws, and then calls out, "It's alright honey.  They's OK boys just doing a little fishing."  Just then a woman wearing only the bottoms of a bikini crawled out of the tent.  She was as dirty as naked dirty man and only slightly less naked.  She was also probably 300lbs or more.  I'm not sure how many stones that is for you Brits, but it's roughly 650 or 700kg for the rest of you Europeans.  Not a small woman.  Half her size would still not be small.  Wild Bill and I quickly decided that perhaps the fishing was better downstream after all.

Re: Songs that make you want to turn up the volume

That's hilarious Zurf "naked dirty man with a gun" ... calls out to her slightly less naked 300 lb woman.

Man, I got tears in my eyes laughin' at that - reminds me of a scene from Deliverance. SQUEEEEEL!

Hilarious and a great idea for a song. A dirty naked couple, fat and skinny. Sort of a Deliverace thing without the unhappy scene...you all know who I'm talking about

Re: Songs that make you want to turn up the volume

Pretty much anything from AC/DC. This music is made for blasting....

Gotta throw pre-Hagar Van Halen in here too. Mean Streets is my personal favorite from Diamond Dave, Michael, Alex and  Eddie. I used to seat belt my tecnique home stereo speakers in the back seat of my '75 Ford Maverick crankin' Van Halen through the middle of town pissin' off the old people and impressing the chicky-mamas..........

I also really dig driving long distances to Iron Maiden, Powerslave is my fav from these dudes.

Me love crankin' me up some live Grateful Dead. These guys are one of the few bands that sounded better live than in the studio.

Steve Vai or anything he has signed his name to must be consumed at high, high volume. I've seen Vai live several times and each time I am blown away more than the previous. This guy works so hard and continuously evolves as a musician and as a performer.

Finally, King Crimson's Discipline moves me from head to toe at high decibels!!!

Give everything but up.

Oh sorry! I didn't read the question properly, it's a big problem in Britain, nobody reads the questions right.

I agree... Being from Britain myself.

Re: Songs that make you want to turn up the volume

There are a lot of rock songs that fall into that category for me, but to be a little different, I'm going to say "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Songs that make you want to turn up the volume

LOTS of excellent adds that I agree with (Panama!!!! How can you not rattle the neighbors with that????)
But there are only 2 that are GUARANTEED to be turned up, regardless of mood, who is talking, what is going on.

Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty
Crimson and Clover - Tommy James and the Shondells

Obviously there are many more...but those GUARANTEED!!!!!
