Title: Songs famously played on a Marshall amp
Post by: midwayfair on December 18, 2014, 03:37:47 PM
I need a few to learn that aren't just ... not me. It would help if there are no other effects involved.

They have a whole discography? I thought they just made the same record 11 times?  ;D

That was a nice one mate,  ;D
Also most of hendrix, trower and cream tones were played by marshall amps.

Most Slash stuff is straight Marshall with the odd wah bit. Bon Jovi (the obvious tracks). Early Clapton (Bluesbreakers / Cream). Early Van Halen - You Really Got Me. Did anyone mention AC/DC?

Ritchie Blackmore played through a Marshall amp with Deep Purple and Rainbow. A 200w Marshall Major amp.

You'd need the preamp from an old tape recorder.

Also Dio, ZZ Top.

Anything that came out of D.C. during the 80's and 90's.  I've noticed some obvious fugazi/minor threat influences in your pedal demos.   ;)

Appetite is definitely hard-core Marshall.

Iron Maiden's base tone for Piece of Mind and Powerslave was Marshall-based (JMP, Plexi, JCM800).

What I'm gathering from this thread is I haven't listened to any music using a Marshall since I was like 16 ...

I think I can manage some early Clapton and ACDC.

That made me chuckle.

But I'm sure it's not just rock rock that's been made on Marshall amps, e.g. Steve Cropper:

Wait, really? On any recordings? I could have sworn all his stuff was a Deluxe. If this is true, then I've probably got a dozen things I can use.

I think he played a Super Reverb, didn't he?
Those Marshalls, that must have been what the band was given on an England tour. But I'm not sure.

It's a pretty wide net for Marshall amps (and not just hard rock stuff)

RHCP - most of their stuff (at least with Frusciante) was done on Marshalls
Bonamassa - OK, famous only in the Blooze world, but he's a fairly entrenched Marshall lover
AC/DC - as previously mentioned, but the more I listen to it, the "cleaner" sounding the Marshalls are than on most other hard rock efforts
Everything that wasn't played on a Rockman between 1986 and 1990 was pretty much on a JCM800, though you're probably not looking to play Cherry Pie (yes, I know, Warrant was actually using Carvins at that time, it's sad that I know that, you know you're a gear geek when Bobby Brown (in her prime) is in the video for 90% of the time, and yet you remember the 3 second shot of the stack behind the blonde doode).
The Rev BG uses JCM2000 and JMP-1 on tour, but his studio sound is likely built off of more amps than every Guitar Center combined.
Warren Haynes/ABB

Having thought about it some more I realised that pretty much everything I played or attempted to play from 1980 to about 2005 involved a Marshall.

Don't forget the AC/DC and keep the gain lower than you might expect as GermanCdn pointed out.

Jim left an amazing legacy. Makes me proud to be British, brings a tear to my eye.  :'(

Besides AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" (pretty much text book humbuckers to JMP/JCM) my fave Marshall tones are Robin Trower on "Bridge of Sighs" (IMO the best song ever recorded), and Richie Blackmore on Deep Purple's "Lazy".

As did Jon Lord! He had to keep up after all (edit: beaten to it by Alan).



Tonnes of stuff is played through Marshalls. But I suppose the most recogniseable is Angus and Malcom.



Gives me an excuse to post one of my favourite tracks.

If you're doing a demo for the new ROG Thunderfet, I say bust out the hairspray and do some warrant or great white or something.
1) It sounds 80s 'metal' in the opening demo
2) It'd be very amusing to see Jon play some Warrant
Title: Re: Songs famously played on a Marshall amp
Post by: juansolo on December 19, 2014, 09:26:18 AM
Warrant did some great music (I'm ignoring Cherry Pie...). I can see Jon doing this, get your wig on! ;)



Three really solid albums in Cherry Pie, Dog Eat Dog and Ultraphobic. Way beyond a lot of their hair metal contemporaries IMO.

Motorhead.

Seen them live and there were stacks of Marshalls.

It was also LOUD.... almost to the point of being painful.


The Who.

Pete Townsend was their first 'Marshall Stack' customer.


There is a brilliant documentary about Marshall that was on recently on the BBC. 'Play it Loud: The Story of Marshall Amplifiers'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04c3l7j (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04c3l7j)

Definitely worth catching while it is still available!

Heard a local guy years ago at an art gallery show do a stellar version on the gallery's megabuck grand piano, no Marshalls required!

Beat me to it! Classic Olde English folk song that one.

At the risk of sending the thread spinning backwards I was lucky enough to see Jon Lord a couple of times with Whitesnake and at the Deep Purple reunion gig in 1985. The bloke was a star, he rocked that organ musically and literally backwards and forwards.

Early Whitesnake is full of Marshall goodness. "Ain't no love in the heart of the city" would be a good place to start.

I see big Marshall in their old live videos, but it looks like something different in this video. This sounds Marshally, but brighter to me. Anyone have any info?



EDIT: Damn it, the studio version was a music man.

Figures, one of the few shred-y songs I love and it's a Fender-style amp.
