Now THAT is some straight-up, stone-cold spaghetti Western GOLD, my man!!!

Speaking of spaghetti Western gold, here's another.

Written by Ennio Morricone for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly soundtrack, covered here by Metallica:

You can hear the gallop a few times in this vintage gem:

[CorvusRexus]

You can hear the gallop a few times in this vintage gem:

Queensrÿche, Queen of the Reich

Damnit, shart! You took the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
Hmmm. Does Run to the Hills use it?

 

[shart_attack]

If you listen well, you can kinda hear it in this a coupla times:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFLdHx2ZXUA]Little River Band, The Night Owls[/ame]

(Would be really fun to cover ^ that ^ using a full Maiden horse gallop throughout the song's entirety. Just sayin'.)

You know the answer to that, bro.

"Galloping hard on the plains. ..."

Another NWOBHM band intermittently doin' a slow version the Maiden horse trot:

Very audible from 3:19 to 3:59 in this Maiden frontman's 1994 gem:

[DriftingSand]

Not quite the beat you're looking for but a close cousin.

Motley Crue/Dr. Feelgood: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XHcPYorSJw]Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood (Official Music Video) - YouTube[/ame]

Listen well, and you can hear it here:

"He's got the midnight madness. He's got control. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's the ..."

Pretty prominent Maidenesque gallop throughout this vintage gem's rhythm:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4HyYB_uJaw]Stryper, The Way[/ame]

 

[DriftingSand]

A very slow version of da da DUM da da DUM da da DUM. More of a trot than a gallop:

Lynyrd Skynyrd/Sweet Home Alabama: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye5BuYf8q4o"]Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama - YouTube[/ame]

I've looked high and low for the fast gallop but it's hard to find. You already have most of them.

Yet another:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md3B3I7Nmvw]Metallica, Battery[/ame]

Looks like we're seeing firsthand on this thread that though many artists have featured the rhythm which is the subject of this thread, none have obviously used it remotely as much as Maiden has. Their staple.

Another gem from them:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_K6sl4jp3A]Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time[/ame]

 

[shart_attack]

For the antihero/ antiheroine in all of us, this.

Gallop along, mates:
