Metal with a horn section...

Was listening to RIOT - the Privilege of Power this morning and the song "KILLER", which is a heavy number has a horn section. Can you name some other metal or thrash songs with a horn section?

"Don't Let It Die" by Raven.

Beat me to it! Dang you!

Raven also used a horn section on "The Bottom Line" and "Hyperactive"

Freddy what's the song on WS's "Chill Pill" album with horns? I'm thinking it had Michael Monroe on the same song?

Oy... I can hear it in my head but can't think of the title... haven't listened to that CD in awhile. Was it "High Road?"

I just found on Google that Michael Monroe played sax on "Ha ha ha" and harmonica on "High Road"


So, "HA HA HA" by Warrior Soul counts.

You're right, now I remember, there is indeed some saxophone squealing amidst all the chaos of "Ha Ha Ha"

Pro Pain "One man Army"

Gwar had some horns on a few songs.

YES! I should've thought of them. There are prominent horns on the track "Saddam A-Go-Go," off of THIS TOILET EARTH for starters.

Alice Cooper- Welcome To My Nightmare
Crap thats not metal but whatever, people categorize him as so many different categories

Exodus- B*tch

thats a thrash one

maudlin of the Well - Stones of October's Sobbing (description: slow, progressive doom/death..stuff..amazing song)

Extreme - Get The Funk Out

Dio - Holy Diver

Queensryche has saxaphone in Promise Land.


Arttie

Black Sabbath - Break Out (Never Say Die)

Where are the horns on Holy Diver???

STORMING THE GATES OF HELL by RIOT also have a horn section.

Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger song "New Damage" had a crazy sax at the end of the song.

Thin Lizzy-Johnny

I think he's mistaken for the keyboards.

Dead Conspiracy - As You Would Have Them Do

Didn't Ult create this exact same thread a while back. Or was that just about the trombone? Haha.

I started one awhile back called "Do Saxophones Belong in Metal?" which was not at all serious.

Anyway, I have two more additions that I don't believe have been mentioned yet:

Suicidal Tendencies' "Get Whacked" opens with a burst of trumpets (at least I think they're trumpets). I think there is a bit of saxophone tooting in the background of ST's "Send Me Your Money" too.

There are also some horns on the brief instrumental piece on Megadeths' WORLD NEEDS A HERO (I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head and don't have the CD handy) that leads into "Return To Hangar."
