Songs famously played on a Marshall amp

[Tremster]

I think he played a Super Reverb, didn't he?
Those Marshalls, that must have been what the band was given on an England tour. But I'm not sure.

It's a pretty wide net for Marshall amps (and not just hard rock stuff)

RHCP - most of their stuff (at least with Frusciante) was done on Marshalls
Bonamassa - OK, famous only in the Blooze world, but he's a fairly entrenched Marshall lover
AC/DC - as previously mentioned, but the more I listen to it, the "cleaner" sounding the Marshalls are than on most other hard rock efforts
Everything that wasn't played on a Rockman between 1986 and 1990 was pretty much on a JCM800, though you're probably not looking to play Cherry Pie (yes, I know, Warrant was actually using Carvins at that time, it's sad that I know that, you know you're a gear geek when Bobby Brown (in her prime) is in the video for 90% of the time, and yet you remember the 3 second shot of the stack behind the blonde doode).
The Rev BG uses JCM2000 and JMP-1 on tour, but his studio sound is likely built off of more amps than every Guitar Center combined.

And don't forget Nigel Tufnel.

Having thought about it some more I realised that pretty much everything I played or attempted to play from 1980 to about 2005 involved a Marshall.

Don't forget the AC/DC and keep the gain lower than you might expect as GermanCdn pointed out.

Jim left an amazing legacy. Makes me proud to be British, brings a tear to my eye.

you need those ones that go to 11 tho

[slimtriggers]

Yngwie! 

[gordo]

Besides AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" (pretty much text book humbuckers to JMP/JCM) my fave Marshall tones are Robin Trower on "Bridge of Sighs" (IMO the best song ever recorded), and Richie Blackmore on Deep Purple's "Lazy".

[alanp]

Jon Lord too, IIRC, right?

[juansolo]

Ritchie Blackmore played through a Marshall amp with Deep Purple and Rainbow. A 200w Marshall Major amp.

As did Jon Lord! He had to keep up after all (edit: beaten to it by Alan).

Tonnes of stuff is played through Marshalls. But I suppose the most recogniseable is Angus and Malcom.

Gives me an excuse to post one of my favourite tracks.

If you're doing a demo for the new ROG Thunderfet, I say bust out the hairspray and do some warrant or great white or something.
1) It sounds 80s 'metal' in the opening demo
2) It'd be very amusing to see Jon play some Warrant

[juansolo]

Warrant did some great music (I'm ignoring Cherry Pie...). I can see Jon doing this, get your wig on!

Three really solid albums in Cherry Pie, Dog Eat Dog and Ultraphobic. Way beyond a lot of their hair metal contemporaries IMO.

[raulduke]

Motorhead.

Seen them live and there were stacks of Marshalls.

It was also LOUD.... almost to the point of being painful.


The Who.

Pete Townsend was their first 'Marshall Stack' customer.


There is a brilliant documentary about Marshall that was on recently on the BBC. 'Play it Loud: The Story of Marshall Amplifiers'

Definitely worth catching while it is still available!

Sorry to derail this, but I loved Jon Lord.

I haven't heard 'Child in Time' in ages! AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH! I'd love to do an acoustic cover of this in a little coffee house sometime with full on AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!'s. It would be bad for the coffee house's sales though.
