TAKE IT TO THE MATTHEWS BRIDGE

CHORUS!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MR ELTON JOHN

ROCK OUT! GO GUITAR, GO!

Before the solo he shouts 'GUITAR GUITAR GUITAR!'

I think it's really cool.

re 'False Advertising' that's the best part of the album!

The Clash - on Remote Control when Strummer shouts 'You're my guitar hero' whilst Jones is fret wanking on a solo.

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - On Abdul and Cleopatra Jonathan shouts 'alright, tell em Leroy' just as 'Leroy' launches into an ace 50's rock n roll style solo and pretty much does exactly that.

Ultimate has got to be Dance to the Music by Sly Stone, every line references an instrument, which then comes in and plays a solo then joins the backing music...

all good stuff

"help me out boys" or words to that effect before a solo in Train Under Water (i think).
The kings of leon main man yelps "GEETAR, GO GEETAR" in Black Thumbnail, which may be shit and cheesey, but i like it.

Maybe 'Monkey gone to heaven'?

['Monkey Gone to Heave' solo]

There's a shout of 'Chorus' before the chorus.

The song is a lost pop gem.

All of 'Put a Donk On It'.

She says take it away and he does the solo.

READY ART BRUT?

"solo!" before a cowbell solo.

Robbie Williams - "strong" (i think it's called?)
"that's a good line to take it to the bridge, before - yep, you've guessed it - the bridge. Awful awful writing.

but joyride by built to spill's has an entire verse about the song itself (sounds just like the 1st verse but has different words etc)

DRUMS

(justin timberlake - like i love you)

turn on the real drums

"PUMP IT UP PRINCE!"

'Well here I go! Here I go! Here I here I go now...'

where he goes 'Bring on the real fun, turn on the real drums' and the drum machine stops and the real drums kick in. Love that bit.

But I always enjoyed how Freddie Mercury said each of the bands name before they did their 'bit' in "Invisble Man'

For some reason I've always found it quite endearing.

(and the forty million cover versions of it) when they go "A li'l bit softer now, a li'l bit softer now, a li'l bit louder now, a li'l bit louder now!" and the music gets softer and louder - that counts, right?

You should have seen old Jimmy Wilson dance
Give that boy a dime and you could have a chance

To see old Jimmy Wilson dance

Dance Jimmy...
(I'm doing the best I can god damnit)
That's it...
(Well I can't really dance like I used to...I mean I try but...I'm an old
old man now)

I've got a real good feeling bout' old Jimmy Wilson
Sho' nuff' he's got what it takes
Do another number for me please won't ya Jimmy
Cause you're a really good dancer...

And then he does a little sax solo - amazing.

As is that Bright Eyes bit.

And also I've always loved when Ryan Adams shouts 'Guitar Solo!' in Halloween Head.

when he goes "second verse, same as the first" and sings the first verse again.

in I don't know how many songs.

"John Deacon!" *does bass solo*
"Brian May! Brian May!" *does guitar solo*
"Rrrrroger Taylor!" *does drum solo*

There's a Primus song where the singer says "Go Ler!" Guitarist 'Ler' plays a solo that lasts about 4 seconds. At the conclusion: "Thanks, Ler!"

And of course: "Can I count it off?"

says Noel before picking up the bass on 'Go Let It Out'

says Anthony Kiedis at the beginning of ‘Tearjerker’

"let the bass kick!"

…where Nick Cave talks to the band.

"GUITAR!" [solo]

good times.....

"And we're coming to the chorus now" on Gold Soundz

There's a Robert Forster song where he says "guitar solo" and the solo is a single note, played a couple of times.

"bass"

"Here come the drums..." at which drums emerge, but not as massively as the introduction might have led you to expect.

Naked Pictures of Your Mother - "SOLO!"
Improper Dancing - "STOP!......CONTINUE!"

DJ LETHAL, BRING IT ON

where Nick's like ROCK OUT, JIM! or equivalent.

I think.

Take 'em to the bridge!
Take 'em to the chorus!
etc

"...no...kill both bass players"

mmmm...

DRAAAAWP!

When he says "I think we better turn the bass up on this one" and then the bass guitar kicks in.

Joe Strummer to Cosmo Vinyl
"Alright Alright, Don't stop us when we're hot!"

Zack goes: "Yeah people come up" just before the drums come in, and then goes: "let's bring it from the bass line up on this one" before the bass comes in.
My favourite though is Ian Mackaye's "Stop!" in Epic Problem.

"Everybody solo!"

before Bill Ryder-Jones' solo in Bill McCai by The Coral,

Also: the whispered "Bass" at the beginning of 'She wants to move' - N.E.R.D.

two spring to mind for me:

Northside - Take a Trip : after the wah wah guitar and drums breakdown bit, the singer shouts BASS GEEEETAAAAAARRR as the bass joins in.

Shack - Mr Appointment : Singer shouts Build about 4 min in to intiate a musical build type thing with heavier drums and such like

some beatles song

"Ready Steve?"
"Andy?"

Or whatever their names are.

"PLAY IT FLETCHER!" *guitar solo*

in, of course, the second verse of an untitled musical project song

(Radio 1!) Play the drums!

that was a good drum break.

Hutchence goes 'Trumpet!'.

And then Kirk Pengilly plays the ... saxophone.

Bass player pumping
With drums a-thumping
Keyboards and me on my guitar (killer lick)

or something

the wave pictures - we come alive "tell them about it on the bass guitar" followed by bass solo. somehow, not terrible.

exploding hearts - boulevard trash. just before the solo in what's already one of the best rocknroll songs EVER, he yelps ALRIGHT! GUITAR! and seals it.

One more time

Kick PUNCH PUNCH
Kick PUNCH PUNCH

Bow and TURRRN

pretty much the entire song but some choice highlights are:Just a "Big bass line and drums, got guitarists sucking their thumbs,
four a bar or two, that's how to do it"

also "and the bass goes bomb", then it does, in that Nine Inch Nails tune off Year Zero.

Les Savy Fav - Blackouts

CHORUS!

"Jim, can you record the talk back?"

Sunset Rubdown- Paper Lace
"That's as good as it'll get!"

"Bells!"

"when i count to four i want everybody to lay out and give the drummer some... You don't have to do no soloing, brother, just keep what you got - Don't turn it loose, 'cause it's a mother."

cue the most sampled piece of music ever.

"......that was a good drum break"

Never fails to make me laugh

Gibb, Syd, Seth, Pat, Tim
Let's do it!

... uses that "Can you turn the track up a little bit?" on Hot Like a Sauna. He also does a "Move over... I said Move over..." on Black Coffe by Nearly God, just as all the weird feedback drops out.

The Milford Graves album 'Cosmic Unity' has a song where after five minutes of him playing a conga drum, he stops and says quietly 'Y'all wanna hear some cowbell?' before launching into an attack on said instrument.

The

"shit... we fucked it all up.."

"I play drums she's on tambourine" - tinkle.

Also, Cannibal's Hymn, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -

"But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals/Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten/ But I'm glad you've come around
here with your animals/ And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten/ And beating like a drum." - THUMP THUMPTHUMP THUMP THUMP

And how about Graham Coxon's Freakin' Out? -

"Nothing to do, nothing to say/Nananana nanana hey."

Says there's nothing to say then says nothing. Inspired.

Fall In A River by Badly Drawn Boy - love how the whole track proceeds to fall in a river.

The guitar comes in to play a solo, and Roger says 'take it away Mr Chips.'

Then the solo finishes, and he says....'goodbye Mr Chips.'

Brilliant song too.

When Matty shouts 'Break!' and begins the instrumental break.
