Ok, theres a shit load!!! All metallica instrumentals kick ass (ORION).
Iced earth- 1776 (too fucking short though)
Blind guardian- Beyond the ice (awsome solos)
Gwar- Short history of the end of the world
Dissection- (all are good)
Death- Voice of the soul (killer!!!)
Morbid angle- (drum solo)
In flames- Hargalanten & Dreamscape
Testament- Musical death
Arch enemy- Snow bound
That's all I can think of for now...

After last night I'd say Conifer's whole set qualifies... although Chris Poland's (ex-megadeth) "Club Ded" is also one of my personal favorites...and the Alex Skolnick trio does some nice intrumental cover versions of songs

Wow, it is weird you should mention the Metallica ones, cause as soon as I saw the title of this thread, Orion was the first thing to come to mind. Here's my list, in no particular order:

Metallica - Orion
Metallica - To Live Is To Die
Metallica - The Call Of The Ktulu
Opeth - Sillhouette
Opeth - Requiem
Opeth - Epilogue
Opeth - Patterns In The Ivy
Opeth - For Absent Friends
Béla Fleck And The Flecktones - Sinister Minister
Dimmu Borgir - Sorgens Kammer
Dimmu Borgir - Fear And Wonder
Grateful Dead - Sage And Spirit
Iron Maiden - Ides Of March
Iron Maiden - Losfer Words (Big Orra)
Joe Satriani - Time
Joe Satriani - Devil's Slide
Van Halen - 1984
Van Halen - Eruption
Van Halen - Spanish Fly*
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

*Holy shit, if any of you have never heard Spanish Fly, then download it on Kazaa right now because it is seriously the most amazing display of guitar I have ever heard (keep in mind it was done on an acoustic guitar)

Yeah this list was too long.

Borknagar - Matter and Motion
Dødheimsgard - Oneiroscoepe
Dødheimsgard - Wrapped in Plastic
Emperor - The Wanderer
Emperor - Opus A Satana (one brief sung passage)
Emperor - Thus March the Nightspirit (one brief sung passage)
Old Man's Child - In Quest Of Enigmatic Dreams



And this is awesome (too big to insert):

John Paul Jones(led zep bass) put out a solo album called Zooma....GET IT!!! heavy as all fucking hell.

Conifer
Disrythmia
Pink Floyd

and Iron Maiden,Orion and the rest others listed, there's just more to music than metal

Brad said:

1. Yes
2. no shit that there is more to music than metal. i sure as hell posted a lot more than just metal... so its not my fault if you dont know most of the bands i listed. besides... this is a metal message board... did you really expect most of the replies to not have metal in it? if so, you are a very misguided man.

Word up! and one can turn any kind of music into Metal. Metal is very diverse.

spalding im SO glad you listed video game music

but where is the chrono trigger music?!?!
almost every sonic game had awesome music as well
but chrono trigger is essential.

you gain 100000 points for being a megaman freak.
me and my friend plan on doing a megaman party
all day, just going through every megaman game
inviting over as many people as we can that would actually care enough
switch off people for each level.
kind of a "sorry you're having a kid and your life is ruined" present for my roommate.
me and my friends are pretty nerdy about video games.

if you noticed... my list is a work in progress ;)

list updated

Jesus fucking christ spaldin! How many games do you own!?!

JellyFish said:

Yeah man. I don't see how someone can play an acoustic that fast (while hitting all those notes that is). Also, have you checked out the tab (if you play guitar)? At the tap on part there are some places where his fingers are 7 frets apart (index on 2, pinky on 9). ????? What the hell??

JellyFish said:

Whoops. I meant to add more i forgot.
In Flames-Dialogue with the stars
Gwar-Short History of the end of the world
Opeth-Reqiuem

And, no I dont play, but I did see it on the tab program. Its mind numbingly unbelievable talent

JellyFish said:

I tried to play it once. Couldn't even pull it off on electric. I can't believe Eruption gets more recognition then it, because if on a scale of 1 to 10 in difficulty Eruption is 5, then Spanish Fly is 13.
