Wishbone Ash - Throw Down The Sword - 2003

[@flywithseaguls]

May God bless Andy Powell for carrying this wonderfull stuff through the centuries!

[@stubbieoz]

the seventies produced so many great bands. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Status Quo, Creedence....... I am very happy I was a teenager and was able to appreciate the great songs released back then. and still most of those old codgers can play a pretty mean tune. This is just one of them.

[@jiannisDimi]

music to enjoy and be delightfull to listen to... music with taste, soul, and beauty.. yes we were lucky getting old with such a rich culture... wish one ash, a treasure in art...

[@JayKyuu67]

Wishbone Ash rocks ! Saw them 2 times here in France, I was the youngest in the audience (that counted only 50 people each time, my French fellows do not know what true music is), and they were amazing ... The best show I saw, along with Marillion

[@metalmeister666]

I'm a newbie to this band.This is wonderful.Magic.

[@sfox85]

No matter how many times I have seen WA live, tracks like this never fail to blow me away.

[@SupComFreak]

Its funny as I think about how my dad went to an Ash concert around 1970, when he was 15. And 2 years ago, when I was 15, I got to a Wishbone Ash concert with my dad and it was clearly one of the best concerts Ive ever seen.

[@jonasjar]

heard this intro 35 yrs ago and could never forget it, today I play it with my 11 yr old daugther when giving her guitar lessons, and she seem to catch on! its so melodic, relatively easy and fun to do as a duet. Think its perfect as a lesson piece.

[@emouveurs]

One of the best rock song and guitar solo ever ! LOVE IT !

[@gustlpomberger1643]

Ist legendär und bleibt legendär ! Einfach ein Ohrenschmaus !

[@johnthonig8832]

Genau

[@alraune6666]

I'm born in 1962 and i love this music ! martingreen1959, you have damn right.....this is music, this is culture.

[@JohnBruceGuitars1]

Beautiful melodic guitar playing excellent song!

[@skinner768]

Fab song ive been to see them bout 10 times

[@gannonb4u]

I still have my original vinyl album from the 70's. The entire album was perfect then and still is after 40 years!

[@GoodyBob]

This is the song that reminds me most of the Wishbone Ash classic sound that I played on my 8-track, while driving my van thru the mountains into Aspen in Oct. of 74'. Great feeling/atmosphere of youth.

[@PaulC39]

I really like this song and Wishbone Ash is a very good Prog Rock band. Great sound live.

[@gruutschmoeh]

The sound of my childhood. Makes me cry. sentimental journey...

[@WatTyler13]

Here here. A good feeling came back to me again there.

[@omanp2007]

Perfect! beautiful! and also they are great band!

[@howsey182]

they are great iv seen them a couple of times ad theres not many words to describe them

[@ctjbush]

A great song and a great band. Fly Wishbone Ash for a great trip.

[@Marctull66]

My top favourite song from W.A. It's great that Ben Granfelt played the final solo along with Andy, creating something closer to the studio version.

[@oscailandoras]

I miss Ben Grandfelt. It's a great sound. I warmed them up twice...they're superb guys ! Andy Powell is a pioneer in the rock field...he's been there and done that...a legend ! thanks for the posting !

[@ibanezkiddo]

im currently learning this song im 14 and i love this type of music

[@4444ThinLizzy]

One of my Brother's favorites ! He's looking down watching my "watch" it ! Thanks !

[@siegfriedufps1983]

wishbone ash es una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos... wishbone ash is one of the better all time rock bands

[@PaganWarrior100]

I seen them live last night in St. Helens. It's the second time I've seen them. They never fail to impress me, they are absolutely amazing!

[@jakerandall123]

Damned Best Band of the 70's...Long live the DOUBLE LEAD Inventors!

[@tlm1951]

Awesome guitar playing, timeless music. Thxs for posting

[@DeclanProud]

I've seen this band more than any other, about 25 times at the last count over five or six years. Lineup changes, the lot. They're still awesome - guitarists obsessed with the newest, fastest shredders could learn something from these guys. They really did pioneer dual-guitar harmony and it's difficult to find anyone that betters them.

[@johnthonig8832]

Agree 100%

[@kingoliver1000]

great perfomance of an awesome old school band

[@dharvarde]

@onesths just hit 58 today, lived with thisfor so long. claaaaassic music. good taste my friend. tricky dicky jersey

[@anthonyprior154]

excellent haven't heard this for years

[@beerymon]

one of the best versions I've seen ... this band should have been huge ...sometimes there's no justice

[@johnthonig8832]

They are huge

[@Mike_Hunt_69]

That tone is DELICIOUS!!!!

[@woundedhorse]

Guitar tones to die for.

[@wallsmartsme]

Actually, as a guitar player myself, wishbone Ash has taught me how to play guitar. Positively influential. Improves my joy of life

[@DBD34GS]

Still great after all these years.

[@Maichka14]

I love this song SOO much ! And yesterday they were playing in Mezidon, I was here, and MY GOD ! It was soooo cool ! Perfect, what a wonderful moment I lived..

[@scouser640]

The best rock band ever. IMO. Argus was an absolute masterpiece.

[@TKDGSA]

There is only ONE Wishbone Ash (& that's the one with Andy in it) Great performance.

[@sportsportsport]

I've seen wishbone ash about 5 times have their music DVDs, play their music on guitar... got some signed stuff, spoken to andy.... and Wishbone ash are simply one of my favorite bands. My fav lead guitarist they ever had was 'Mark Birch' .. although not one to create their 'best' stuff... his playing and tone was superb. Andy has amazing tone and playing also. His fender supersonics and matamps are great with his pickups and BOSS EQ pedal.

[@Janoostrom]

Still a great band.

[@ChollitoP]

Live Dates, one of my best ... :-)

[@CatrionasRidiculousChannel]

Saw them on 24th April & 28th April, seeing them again on 12th May & 16th May... see you there JoshFluctuations! ;)

[@IngaFreitas]

From Vila Real - Portugal: we love wishbone ash

[@GrainneCarney]

its a great track to play on guitar. I was in a band at college, I've always been that rare kind of guitarist that stands away from the front of the stage and goes about his business in an unassuming way. It was always great to just launch into this and see people in the crowds reaction when this kid at the back of the stage play something like this.

[@jamesdoyle2574]

harataikiphilosopher dont.if ur good enough.entertain .

[@omanp2007]

Beautiful! I love this video!

[@twimas]

Yes! Argus! Great introduction. The first time I heard this on vinyl, my eyebrow hairs started twirling.

[@Abkeda]

Wow, that was lovely!

[@delfin0709]

geile Musik -immer noch

[@neilhawk]

can listen to it day by day

[@raffroland15]

This song gives me goosebumps

[@austun101497]

The sound man get's an A+

[@stephenhayesuk]

They played this song last night at The Brook, Southampon, England, and it was great

[@PrivateAngel89]

I have seen them in the blues garage in hannover, it was great ! but I was the youngest person there, it was kind of fun :D

[@bibby5000]

best intro ever!! cant wait to see them in 2 weeks!!!!!

[@turockandar]

These were the good old days when melody and harmony took precedence over pyrotechnical displays of shredding, tapping and other wankacious tricks...sheer talent and beauty was Ash!

[@AwakenTheGuardian]

Jazz cats were shredding before wishbone, and fusion artists were bringing that style of soloing to a more rock adjacent territory around the same time as Argus.

[@bobbyc920]

Oh hell it's 2012 they are still good !!

[@Cantrememberjack]

One of my favorite bands from that most troublesome period known as adolesence..They got better with time..Imagine that..

[@MrMaggoo24]

Cool! I'm seeing them next month in a small club in my town, very looking forward to it. :)

[@Chimagic]

bloody awesome tune, crazy intro

[@jonasjar]

very true, this is pure joy for guitar buffs, but its a wonder piece in more ways than that. Jeez, how good this band was!

[@CatrionasRidiculousChannel]

Total perfection...

[@videodog52]

Argus is one of the greatest rock and roll albums ever made!

[@Grocku]

what a great song i love it

[@memphisgarageband]

Miss the original lineup, but this is an outstanding version. Love that the replacements over the years have stayed true to the WA ethos.

[@66marlinmike]

Ben was one of the best guitarists to join Andy, particularly in this number. Bloody brilliant

[@keefykeyz]

A great version considering these guys have been around for so long...not much lost in the vocals...always loved this song

[@LukasFin]

Swords to ploughs..What a band!

[@hoodadzamin]

Amazing !

[@KrzysztofGkrg]

Prawdziwa pierwsza rockowa muzyka. Nic za nią, nic przed nią.

[@skinner768]

keep rockin andy, u the best

[@Mike_Hunt_69]

That TONE is DELICIOUS!!!!

[@TKDGSA]

Bloody brilliant

[@TKDGSA]

Wishbone Ash and Thin Lizzy are both great bands, but, to be honest, songls like this, Warrior, Blowin' Free and The King Will Come cannot really be classed as anything other than perfection.

[@54spiritedwill54]

MY best mates grandad is in this band and they rawk xx

[@godlyelf]

agreed 24 and love this stuff

[@CatrionasRidiculousChannel]

They were great at MK Stables-probably the best on that tour

4:32.. epic

[@snapshotsid]

I'm in St .Helens a lot. "Argus"was my favourite album when I was at school. Send us a message if you can.

[@racefan32]

The first time I heard this song was from the Live Dates vinyl ablum, ( I was high on MDA) , there was a WICKED Guitar solo Riff that blew me away, If you get a chance try and listen to it. the one here doesn't come close.

[@tonymontana1974]

Wishbone ash are about to go on a u.k. tour with "the groundhogs" and 1 of the greatest live bands going "focus" im gonna get tickets for preston guild hall. Id pay to see focus live but this band look great as well.

[@saintsluggo]

Progressive rock (often shortened to prog or prog rock) is a form of rock music that evolved in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of a "mostly British attempt to elevate rock music to new levels of artistic credibility." Considering that WA began in 1969 in the UK, and continue to this day, I would say that they have more then earned the lable "Prog Rock."

[@wydawake]

Though 'Andy Powell' is the only remaining member from original band.This is still greatness.

[@kasiaaa720]

17 luty Poznań, przybywam!

[@bibby5000]

dyu know for a fact that andys (these days) is better than the other other one???? i have the chance to see either one of them in the next few weeks n dno which one to go see...

[@wobblyone]

Thanks Saintsluggo, I'm ready for more WA if you have it :)

[@onesths]

@martingreen1959 i am a member of this "youth of today" that you talk of, and i am very in touch with 60's and 70's music and culture, we dont all listen to bllody slipknot or dizzee rascal!!! while i agree with most of your comments, dont be so quick to tar us all with the same brush. long live the ash!!

[@koolademasta]

5:00 absolutely beautiful guitar work

[@SOMAN1983V]

Fantazja !!!

[@emre3877]

***** BIG BAND!!!!

[@TheColliersMusic]

don't forget the brilliant Ray Weston on Drums also, Skeet on Bass and the magician from Finland Ben Granfelt.
