Regarding the instumental thing.

[Shredder87]

Well I think it's pretty selfish of me to include tracks that I think are great metal instrumentals, so while Fogey is throwing his out there, I'll welcome any suggestions.

Transylvania

[Shredder87]

OH YEAH!!!!

That is a good one.

Transylvania
I call shenanigans, Genghis Khan is better.

[WhiffleBallTony]

"The Ides of March" FOR THE WIN!

Yes, I had to spell that out. It's short but amazing. Longer isn't always better.

[Quadraxiom]

Call of Ktulu - Metallica

I was gonna suggest Orion, but Ktulu seems more interesting on an all around instrument level...

[JerryBrudos]

I like Transylvania a little bit more than Genghis Khan. Listen to a version of it thats not on the studio album the drums and bass are too quiet on it, that song has some of the best bass I've ever herd along with awesome guitar. I do love Genghis Khan and Ides tho Transylvania is barely above either for me.

Agreed on Ktulu over Orion

"Into the Lungs of Hell" is another good choice

[JukeBoxHero]

By the Gates of Moria by Blind Guardian is a cool instrumental.

[HeavyChains]

Tony MacAlpine - Autumn Lords
YJM - Evil Eye
Racer X - Scit Scat Wah
Paul Gilbert - Technical Difficulties

[WhiffleBallTony]

I also would like to throw "Solarian 13" by Electric Wizard out there.

[iWargasm]

Ashes of The Wake - Lamb of God
&
Implements of Destruction - Chimaira

I had to include the video for people who haven't heard the song as its so amazing.
