More Cowbell


This is just a riot to watch. Perhaps the most underrated instrument of all time - The Cowbell!

Ok here it is - the biggest hit ever with mostly all cowbell!!!

A number 30 single in the UK in 1968!

No vocals. Just COWBELL, clave (cross-stick) and B3.

"Go Your own Way", Fletwood Mac

"Workin’ for the weekend", Loverboy

Oh yes, "The Wizard", by Black Sabbath.

He made exactly ONE cowbell hit in that song. Probably one of the only metal or rock songs around... where the drums were the lead. And Bill Ward...never repeats himself... similar, yes but no repeats.


For any drummer wanting a great sounding cowbell, look for the one Zildjian made for a while. Best sounding cowbell I've ever heard! Sweet, musical sound.
I must admit I hadn´t seen nothing yet ; )

Cos BTO rocked ! Great taste in music for sure : ) 

... and there´ll be more:

Ladies and Gentlemen ... MOUNTAIN

Felix Pappalardi you are the best, the great producer and the fattest & heaviest bass sound in the business, crème de la crème in American rock´n´roll

RIP

You're forgetting the track Christopher Walken was producing...Don't Fear the Reaper.

My friend Farmer Ed sez: "There’s a cowbell in all of my favorite songs. That’s why we call it moosic."
