If you could play any song on any instrument...

[shogunblade]

"Crush My Battle Opponents Balls" definitely rings for coolest song title in my book.

All 40 minutes of "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull...

Not on Flute, Ian Anderson's done it already.
Not on Guitar, Complicated but doable.

on a Fiddle... Because Charlie Daniels can't play the Fiddle on it.

 

[Jedoro]

The Imperial March on the didgeridoo

Damn, I don't know. Either:

Cohen's Masterpiece on piano

Where Did You Sleep Last Night? on guitar

[Jiggabyte]

OT: Maybe Master Exploder by Tenacious D on guitar.
Just love the intro to that song.

Ninja'd. A runner up is Kickapoo, but it lacks the impossibility factor beyond the changes in instrumentation.

 

[Soxafloppin]

The Intro to smoke on the water, on guitar.

 

[Disaster Button]

Bohemian Rhapsody on one super intrsument that allowed me to play all the other instruments involved.

Incidentally, I name this the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody ever.

 

[hazelwoof]

Personally, I would pick FunTwo's Canon Rock, on guitar, because it's awesome.

Cannon Rock is my favorite song ever. I'm going with that except I'd want to play it on the piano.

Agreed, that guy is insane.

So, if you could play any ONE song, on any ONE instrument perfectly, and nothing else for your entire life, what would you pick? Post a video of the song if you can/want.

Personally, I would pick FunTwo's Canon Rock, on guitar, because it's awesome.

Spoiler

Thanks Sasquatch

These are all drums, baby!

Jimmy Chamberland - Smashing Pumpkins - "Silverfuck"

Tim "Herb" Alexander - Primus - "Tommy the Cat"

Blake Fleming - The Mars Volta - "Ilyena"

Jon Theodore - The Mars Volta - "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus"

...I'd also love to be Brian Chase from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but I guarantee I'd fuck it up by trying to get with Karen O



Edit: I'll let you Escapists know when I get a new set (tama 7-piece, all-maple set) and accomplish this. Until then, rock band...

 

[funguy2121]

Edit:

Jimmy Chamberland - Smashing Pumpkins - "Silverfuck"
(only 'cos it's the coolest song ever - sorry I couldn't include the sample about masturbation in the beginning - why the Hell haven't the Guitar Hero people thought of this?)

Tim Alexander - Primus - "Tommy the Cat"
(Boom tat-tat doo-doo-tat do-ta!) Only drumline people get that. This is cheese, you should have this by now. This is more than cheese, this is cake...
(FURBURT, if you wanna hear bass...)

Blake Fleming - The Mars Volta - "Ilyena"
(Just really fast and really good without getting in the way - this fucker Commands the rhythm of the band)

Jon Theodore - The Mars Volta "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus"

Danny Carey - Tool - "Parabola"
(not their best technically but a masterwork of art, and Danny's fuggin' awesome throughout)
(you may want to skip a few min. ahead if you aren't into the whole metroid/atmosphere thing. I swear, Mechamputechure is an homage to Metroid...)

 

[BlindMessiah94]

If I could do that, I would be a happy man

This.

Or, I dunno, 1812 Overture on Accordion, why not.

 

[Ham_authority95]

La Sagrada Familia by Michael Manring, on bass obviously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSJTefTF7CM

 

[funguy2121]

I would have to say sarah's song (zelda ocarina of time) on any wind instrument. That would be the perfect way to kill time/pan handle

...or any song that can make it stop! No, you bastard, it's a romance that's doomed from the start! Duh-duh-dah, do-do-duh-duh-dah! No, please, God, no!

 

[funguy2121]

Oh yes.

I recommend you contact one Brendan Small

 

[WestMountain]

That I could sing the DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN song that Darth Vader have when he enters a room without moving my lips, people would think that Im be pretty darn awesome when I enter a room

Perhaps I'm a hypocrite here, b/c I'd totally fuck the Bejesus out of Pink, but I'd just like to say...

*****, you ain't no rock 'n' roll!

For more, see Meatloaf (who also, incidentally, ain't no rock 'n' roll)

Sorry for the octuplo-post...

I dunno man I saw her live and it was most deffinitely a rock show. A fucking awesome one at that. She covered Led Zepplin, AC/DC and the Divinyls. And her own songs were very rock n roll.

 

[aruseusx]

Inferno's drum solos.

Prepare to lose your sanity

 

[Jern Ferzio]

I'd say Don't Stop Believing by Journey...on..well idk. I can't play anything (lol) but maybe guitar.
