Music Review #137: "Crowd Chant"

Today, I will be reviewing "Crowd Chant" by Joe Satriani. This song was released in 2006 as part of Satriani's "Super Colossal" album. I really like the rhythm in this song. Also, Joe Satriani is really a guitar wizard. He always flies on his guitar and it is an awesome thing to listen to. The multitude of guitar riffs make this song awesome. My favorite part of the song goes from the 1:03 mark till 1:29. This song is frequently played at sporting events and it definitely gets fans excited. This is a solid song. I give this song a ten out of ten.

Music Review #135: "Rooster"

Today, I will be reviewing "Rooster" by Alice In Chains. This song was released in 1992 as part of Alice In Chains' "Dirt" album. I think it is very interesting how the song has a mysterious sound at the beginning. I really like the opening guitar riff. I have always been a big fan of the duo consisting of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. The bass guitar in this song is also great. Compared to other songs by Alice In Chains, this song is relatively mellow. I really like this song. I give this song a ten out of ten.
