L'arc~en~Ciel - READY STEADY GO

J-pop and J-rock consistently has some of my favorite playing. Even when it's relatively simple, it has such cool little bits, and it's often very rhythmically and harmonically dynamic. The little run up to the chorus in tetsu's part here does a neat thing where there's a tritone up to get up to D, which just sounds super cool.

Pride month music observance!
It's important to remember that queer people have existed forever; many seem to forget that and just focus on queer people of the 20th Century and onward. In particular, some legends of classical music were definitely or likely gay - among the "likely" category are Chopin and Handel, but Tchaikovsky is fully in the definite category.
Here's an attempt at the beginning of his violin concerto on bass.

Bass cover of bass and guitar parts from Nightfall by Blind Guardian. Possibly my favorite song in the world, almost certainly my favorite album. on the occasion of its recent 25th anniversary.
I love Andre Olbrich’s solos so much. Not overwrought, tuneful, memorable. And Oliver Holdswarth’s parts, which tend to be both simple and deep in the mix (if I could change one thing about this album…), but here they weave nicely in and out of doubling the solo.
