Andy Warhol started this at an outdoor festival. He painted the Statue of Liberty in a 1/2 hour with alot of splatter. Denny did it quicker at Woodstock. Michael Ostaski has been doing this for 14 years. He does an awesome Santana.

and check out the other Hooker and Santana collaboration.

I'm a whore

hahaha this is like a big advertisement for CB percussion

and poor santana, he was already looking constipated while playing 2 notes back then

Good call. I think I'll go and promote some hoogieboogie action to keep carlos some company.

^ I believe that would be "Every song Santana has ever done"

There's a Santana song from back in the day where Carlos sustains a note for like 45 seconds while everyone else in the band keeps going... anybody remember the name of that track?

Others I posted a while back. These are so well done!

The Santana and Ozzy ones are classic. The Santana one is on the sift but it's currently dead.

I'm glad to see there is interest in this subject including wazant's kicking the dead body of pinball generally. I've seen this documentary- I agree with its hype that its about our American economy in general. We have too much stuff. Should I buy a new Stern pinball game that doesn't seem as cool to me as Funhouse, for example- especially comparing the prices ( $4699 vs. $1300 on ebay). People didn't used to have as many choices for stuff to blow money on. Now, we also have too much information via this internet. It sections us all off in these pretend worlds where we're too obsessed about any one subject. People don't go out anymore because we have home entertainment. Also, people sound like little brats when they talk hatefully of each other on these forums because they don't risk getting their faces punched in if they talked smack in person.
Ask yourself, is music better because of mp3s? Is your enjoyment of it better? I miss hearing about new music from my friends instead of Pandora. I really am impressed by Pandora but its old music that I'm hearing. Don't we have to take seriously the gravity that forces us to consume retro fodder because this is a new option brought to us by DVR's and the internet. If I can rummage through the best music of the latter half of the past century, doesn't that make it harder for new music to move a whole nation like the Beatles did? Obviously, we have to accept that there are up and downs in cycles. Music is definitely in a down one. Hannah Montana is the biggest selling live show. Now, I'm 31 so its easy for younger people to discard my perspective as outdated. O.K. but have you condidered that if acts like Beck, The Beastie Boys and whomever from the 90's are already done compared to the Rolling Stones who performed well into their 50's, how do you think My Chemical Romance of your new metal act will fare in only 5 years? If we follow this trend music and everything else will be marketed to children in the womb and we'll all have to tolerate Barney type music "I like you, you like me...." In a similar observation, can we all celebrate Britney Spears going the way of the do do bird? Now, I'm genuinely worried about her life because she has been manufactured used and thrown away by the corporate machine that made her right after two sorority ditz's narrate her suicide on live paparazzi video. This is what I'm talking about. Half the country loves American Idol, the other want to shove a karaoke mic up the fat slob pitifully trying to seduce a girl by singing the Righteous Brother's "You lost that loving feeling". In the 80's my Dad turned me on to Boston. Everybody listened to the same music- even if you grew, evolved and quested for deeper "alternative" acts- you started out at the Beatles or something. Although, I did despise my folks popularizing Santana and that Matchbox 20 dude... Gawd! No.

Anyway, a little more back to topic. The nintendo wii grows affection for the physical play of pinball but pinball will gain no traction unless the tykes taste it and like it. We should appreciate good design because the ancient past is full of it and we are often too ignorant or jaded to pay respect where it is due. Also, don't get too excited about throwing broken stuff away so much that what makes America good is thrown out with its formerly dominant auto industry.

This is a great song, and it isn't even my favorite of his. (That would be "Children of Sanchez," a 14-minute piece from the album of the same name.) This is probably the one that had the most commercial success, though. I think Chuck Mangione ranks up there with Carlos Santana as a gifted instrumentalist.

According to Wikipedia:

A 1980 issue of Current Biography called "Feels So Good" the most recognized tune since "Michelle" by The Beatles. Recently, smooth jazz stations throughout the United States have recognized Mangione's "Feels So Good" as their all-time number one song.

WHOA. This is incredible. At first I assumed this was another one of those "shredding" vids, but after looking into this, I am now thinking that they are a "serious" band! I really wonder if it is some kind of inside joke they are having at the expense of all of us! Unbelievable!!!

FYI, for those of you that don't know, dft's comment about Carlos Santana was referring to this wonderful "shredding" viddy right here... http://www.videosift.com/video/Carlos-Santana-Shreds-1

Astonishing. These guys sound exactly like Carlos Santana.......

I am very strongly against the rage against the machine "riff" on this list. On the basis of the riff itself it's garbage. I am not familiar with the track, so maybe it is totally rockin'- but it's not rockin because of a so-cool-best-ever-omg-killer guitar riff. One chord and a wah-wah pedal do NOT a "riff" make.

That having been said, I would also scrap Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, and Lynyrd Skynyryr from the list. Mr. I have too many ys in my name is a very very catchy riff, but DAMMIT that's not rock- it's country!!!

... what's that? Oh this isn't just for rock?

Shit, well that opens up a whole new bag of cats now doesn't it?

What about
Mason Williams - Classical Gas
Django Reinhardt - Minor Swing
Andres Segovia - "Asturias"

Or even programmed guitar- how about Ministry - TV II, or Nitzer Ebb - Murderous?

OK, so nobody will ever pick those, I agree. I'm just saying, if you want to have a list, you've got to pare it down SOMEHOW. Just rock, or just metal, or something.

But whatever, as was pointed out, nobody will ever agree with a list, and while there are GLARING deficiencies with this one (in my opinion), my strongest beef with with rage against the machine. That isn't a riff. It's a chord and a wah pedal. argh.

Other than that, the list needs Metallica (Enter Sandman or Master of Puppets), probably at least one more beatles (Come Together, or birthday), some CCR (Suzy Q), and some floyd (Another Brick in the Wall, the trippy trippy floaty guitar riff at the beginning of shine on you crazy diamond, money, any of a dozen more), and probably at least one doors and one santana track.

Then change the Jimi to Voodoo Chile (slight return), and AC/DC to highway to hell (or just get rid of ACDC altogether) and we'll have a much better list.

OK!

no santana? no neil young? blaah

my list would have to include Slayer - Raining Blood
