Woman Chokes on Someone Else’s Vomit

On 7 March 2002, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix in Saskatchewan, Canada, citing witnesses inside the Pine Grove Correctional Centre, reported that some female ex-heroin addicts so desperately crave methadone that they routinely consume the fresh vomit of fellow inmates currently on methadone treatment because enough is still present in the regurgitation. The newspaper uncovered the practice while investigating the death of an inmate. Said a source, “The whole building knows (that the inmate choked on vomit). That’s how she died.” —from News of the Weird, compiled by Chuck Shepherd

Nine inch nails are definitely the best when it comes to instrumental… For me the best would be Leaving hope on Still, Just like you imagined on the Fragile or A warm place on the Downward spiral, sorry, I just can’t choose!

Beck’s bolero by the jeff beck group, little wing by stevie ray vaughan, interstellar overdrive by pink floyd, white summer by the yardbirds, cliffs of dover by eric johnson, and day in the life by jeff beck

Wow loads of ppl voted for NIN - Just Like You Imagined sorry i really should hav scrolled down more. 65daysofstatic songs are nearly all instruments so their whole back catalogue pretty much should be there. Again, Leaving Hope by NIN

A Warm Place - Nine Inch Nails

tony you are absolutely correct. Just like you imagined is an awesome piece of music leaving hope is also amazing, trent should do some more songs like these

“Paradise by the C” by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is awesome! It can be found on Live 1975-85 and features Clarence Clemons at his best (cool guitar solo by Bruce as well).

Lonely Surfer- clearly inspired by Herb’s Lonely Bull
That song by Dickie Doo and the Don’ts, Ne na na na nu or something

Apache- Shadows

JUST LIKE YOU IMAGINED by nine inch nails

Technically don’t count, but I think the insturmental break on “Bohemian Rhapsody” needs mentioning. Great shit.

Nine Inch Nails, “Just Like You Imagined”
I’m just sorry that it took a movie to make people realize what a fantastic piece it is.

several not “true” instrumentals here… c’mon let’s be true to the question..

my picks..

i’ve got to agree with anything by the Meters..

i’d also say anything Bill Burford-era King Crimson… specifically maybe “Red”

How about Johnny Thunders with Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols off of his solo “So Alone” doing “Pipeline”

led zeppelin-moby dick

orion metallica
samba pa ti santana

I mentioned “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down” for three reasons.

1. It’s fusion; not traditional jazz. And it probably should receive credit for starting that movement.

2. Bitches Brew is listed as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s greatest albums.

3. You are right. It would wipe this field clean. The “Jack Johnson” album’s “Right Off” also deserves mention.

Okay, so I did think of one that’s actually halfway decent. In fact, it’s damn good.

“Chest Fever” as performed live by the Band. Or, actually, by keyboardist Garth Hudson. Live, the intro from the version on “Music From Big Pink” became huge epic and awesome. Makes you feel like you’re being run down by dogs at the crossroads.

So “Chest Fever” and “Lick My Love Pump” are the only two rock instrumentals you’ll ever need. Oh btw good call on whoever mentioned Miles Runs The Voodoo Down. But if we’re going to hook this up with jazz instrumentals too, that gives us encyclopedias full of instrumentals that could wipe the floor with any of the rock instrumentals mentioned here. Rock adn roll simply is not a forum for the instrumental. Goes against the grain.

If you’re going to choose a Santana tune, it has to be Samba Pa Ti; I would definitely include Rush’s YYZ, especially after seeing that stadium full of Brazilian fans “singing” the riff with the band on the Rush in Rio DVD; Link Wray’s Rumble; The Allmans’ In Memory of Elizabeth Reed…
But the absolute number one greatest is Jimi Hendrix’s third Stone From the Sun.

Y’all take this topic too damn seriously. Unless you’re Bob Dylan, rock and roll songs shouldn’t be longer than 4 minutes, let alone not have words. Well, at least no one’s mentioned ELP (and good Lord let’s keep it that way). Down with the self-indulgent instrumental/solo!

pineapple and the monkey-the faces

One of These Daze - Pink Floyd

You’re all wrong, the correct answer is: Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

NIN - “Just Like You Imagined”
Radiohead - “Hunting Bears”
The Black Heart Procession - “Destroying the City of Hearts”

And even though I think using post-rock is cheating a bit,

Mogwai - “Like Herod”

any colour you like - pink floyd

“Lick My Love Pump” by Spinal Tap.

which forever closes the door on any more self indulgent ridiculous rock instrumentals (as if that’s not redundant). It is the only one you will ever need. Well, no. I suppose the jester needs something to make fun of. So I suppose the guitasturbations of Van Halen, Metallica, Queen et al were necessary just to have something to make fun of.

And yeah, I should have put NIN’s “Leaving Hope” in there too. That damn song gets me all tear jerky even without any words.

Nine Inch Nails - “Just Like You Imagined”

leo3375 is right, it does make “even the most mundane activities seem fucking epic!” It’s one of my favorite songs to run to, it makes me feel like I’m running into a battle that will determine the fate of the world!
