OK, I did songs about cars and several people talked about songs that make them (huh "make" them) driver faster.

So what songs/tunes push your pedal to the medal.

for me they are:

1) Battle without Honor or Humanity by Tomooyasu Hotei (also on Kill Bill Vol 1 sound track)

2) Highway Star - naturally

3) Hot for Teacher - Van Halen

4) Knockin at your backdoor - Deep Purple

5) Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

Yea I know that last one is kinda an unusual pick, but it is a long story about a girl back in college (yes named Diana, and of course long before the song came out)......the kind your momma wouldn't approve!!!

 

The volume **** should be directly connected to the accelerator.

 

"Kick Start My Heart" by Motley Crue always does it for me!

 

My 442 is right foot therapy ,great tunes just make it better.

From Aerosmith to Zep, It's all good!!!!

 

"Back in Black" and "Thunder Struck" does it for me!

 

Mistress for Christmas...............

 

L.A. Woman- Doors

Money for Nothin- Dire Straits

Shoot to Thrill, If you want Blood - AC/DC

Radar Love- Golden Earing

Black Betty - Ramjam

Rock'n'Roll- Led Zeppelin

 

flirtin' with disaster - molly hatchet

 

x2 on that!

I'd also like to add:

-"Neon Knights" by Black Sabbath (R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio)

-Anything by Rush

-"White Flags" by BOC

-"The Breeze" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Also x2 on deep purple coltsneckbob!

Too many to list...

Also x2 on

 

LA Woman get's my vote for #1
Paint it Black Rolling Sones
Crosstown Traffic Jimi Henrdix
Life in the Fastlane Eagles
Break on Through Doors
China Grove Doobie Bros
Voodoo Child Jimi Hendrix
Panama Van Halen

 

For me it "Highway Star" and "Eastbound and Down" or "Westbound and down" from "Smokey and the Bandit". I just feel like drifting around corners at 75 when I hear the last two.

 

Though a total departure from my typical red dirt tunes, these are guaranteed to motivate you...........straight into a ticket!!!!!!!!!

Cowboys from Hell/The Art of Shredding (Pantera)

NWO (Ministry)

Wargasm (L7)

 

Great Springsteen tune, "Light of Day" -

 

Big generational gap in musical tastes.

GM had SCV which was Speed Control Volume.
My 2000 GMC Jimmy had it. It annoyed me and I turned it off.

 

"Kickstart My Heart" by Mötley Crüe

 

So funny that this post came up now. Just this weekend I installed a RediRad in my daily driver and finally hooked up my Ipod. Driving home last night, Master of Puppets by Metallica came on....it was almost scary how my right foot got very heavy at that same moment! LOL

 

He ain't heavy, He's my foot.

 

YMCA

But always I wreck when my hands go off the wheel

 

Nothin' wrong with red dirt. It don't get much better than CCR (Cross Canadian Ragweed, not that other band with the same initials).

BOC "Take Me Away" and "Mistress of the Salmon Salt" always did it for me in the car. Filter, Cult and Monster Magnet tend to make my foot a little heavy too.

T101 had a neat interview performance with Ian Astbury and the Cult last night. They sounded a little tamer than I remember them live, but that may have been the setting.

Just saw The Cult a few weeks ago....they still rock out. Not quite as they did the first time I saw the 20+ years ago though. Would love to see Monster Magnet.

 

x3
Most up-beat Southern Rock tunes for me.

 

Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Iron Maiden - Run To the Hills
Motorhead - Overkill
Motorhead - Built For Speed
Judas Priet - Turbo Lover
Metallica - anything from Kill 'em All


Adam

 

Blue, that's awesome! So many great tunes on here already, here's a few more:

BTO - Roll on Down the highway
Just about any Van Halen - with Sam or Dave
Ooh, speaking of Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55 will always work for any generation
Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
Ozzy - Crazy train
not the biggest country fan, but... 455 Rocket
My new favorites - Burn it to the Ground - Nickelback or Uprising by Muse

For oldies, any good old rockabilly Carl Perkins...
Jimmy Lloyd - Rocket in my Pocket
Billy Lee Riley - My Gal Is Red Hot
Commander Cody - Hot Rod Lincoln
Eddie Cochran - C'mon Everybody
Come On Let's Go - Richie Valens

Would any of those for ya D Appledorn?)

 

Boston - Don't Look Back
Sniff 'n' the Tears - Driver's Seat

 

Yep most of them would do the trick

 

Now I know just how heaven feels
When she reach beneath my big old steerin' wheel
Dyna flow, power glide
Bored and stroked, I'm satisfied
When I take my baby for a ride

"Let it Roll" -Little Feat

 

Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway...

Dang- haven't heard "Driver's Seat" in forever. I remember finally having to order the album. Ordered it and the Chilliwack "Fly at Night" album at the same time. "Fly at Night" could make my foot press harder under the right circumstances, but it was more a night cruising tune. Steely Dan's entire "The Royal Scam" album could also affect my driving under the right circumstances.

I could not listen to "Detroit Rock City" in the car- I'd find myself traveling way faster than was sensible, and sensible to me back then was 10-15 over the limit.

 

You could be mine - Guns and roses (song from terminator 2)
and
Die Die my darling - Metallica (cover from the misfits song)

 

BE VERY CAREFUL JOHN! With a tank like yours, you can hurt a building very badly. Lol Tom

 

Ha, don't you mean tanks like "ours"? You do have the same car as me now AND a Custom Cruiser which is way more tank than a Ninety Eight!

Love the full sized Olds!

 

I'm an 80s 'Hair Band' guy so most all of that makes me want to drive fast. A lot of Joe Satriani stuff too.

 

The tune that does it for me, "Gear Jammer" by George Thorgood and the Destroyers

 

Talk to us Aces- what makes your right foot mat the pedal?

 

Allman Brothers Band "Whipping Post" and "Ramblin Man"

 

what about Shocking bleu? with venus. or never mary a railroadman.

This was a Dutch (my country) band thaty broke through in the states with the song venus.

What a voice.

"Aceshigh" i'm 31 and like the older style music more.
It is more about good taste

like i like bleus but do not like the r&b of today, and rock against pop/techno.

 

No, it's more about the culture you're exposed to and the genre that moves you more.

Some people are moved by Elton John.
Some by Country, Some by Blues, Some by Rock.

I dig some classic rock too......mainly because my father listened to it and that's what I grew up to.
The classic rock is my mellow music, Boston, Doobie brothers, The Who, etc.
I've even seen George Thorogood live in San Francisco in 1996.

Don't get skerred now. lol

The saying goes.....
IF it's too loud and fast, you're too old. Crank it, or Retire

Slipknot - Psychosocial
All That Remains - Two Weeks and the more gutteral Air That I Breathe

 

I tend to exceed the speed limit to:
Keep on Chooglin (CCR)
Flight of the Phoenix (Grand Funk)
Gear Jammer (George Thorogood)
Marsailles (The Angels)
We gotta get out of this place (ditto)
Shadow Boxer (ditto)
Take a long line (ditto)

The other Zeppelin & D/Purple songs have been covered.

Aces, my music collection would probably stun you. It does most people. I'll listen to anything except rap/hiphop/modern R&B, and this drivel that passes for top 40 these days- what a friend calls "pop-tart music". Though I'm sure some folks think Britney Spears and Justin Bieber rule. Each to their own. Me, I'm more like what Ozzy Osbourne said in an interview with Mark Hoppus a while back- "Who the f__k is Justin Bieber?!"

That collection includes classical all the way back to 1400s Gregorian chant thru modern rock such as Slipknot and Korn, on shellac, vinyl, tape and CD. Screw an mp3 or iPod, it compresses the music too much and you lose the engineering and about half the frequency range. Not that it makes much difference with a lot of this modern musical noise.

Would it surprise you to know that I've met and had a pleasant conversation with Henry Rollins? Very intelligent and erudite man who can converse at length about a lot of things.
