THE FIVE
The Five Most Incredibly Awesome Examples of Cowbell in Song


(http://gypsysoul.lunarpages.com/cowbell.jpg)

1.  Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
2.  Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) the Reaper"
3.  Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages"

4.  Guns N' Roses' "Mr. Brownstone"
Forget heroin!  What GN'R really OD'd on was cowbell, with eight songs from their debut rockin' the bell.


5.  EMF's "Unbelievable"

As a personal rule, GN'R's best songs are the ones with cowbell:

Jungle, It's So Easy, Nightrain, Brownstone, My Michelle, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive, Bad Obsession...

Ok that leaves a few out but it does seem to be a winning formula!

It just made it easier for the band to count in. I think SCOM could have used some cowbell, I heard Slash spent all afternoon trying to get the intro in time with the rest of the music.

I always loved the cowbell in Bad Obsession.  Seemed to really fit the song.

Cheers,

I guess and feel this thread should be dedicated to me the man who represents Cowbell.  You can never have enough Cowbell in a song, I bet if Adler recorded November Rain we would of had some cowbell in their.  Nothing like a slash solo and alot of cowbell that is what makes good rock n roll. 

The list of Great songs will Cowbell can't be stopped at only 5. 

ACDC You Shook Me (All Night Long)
BTO Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Duran Duran Hungry Like the Wolf
