That song is The Ecstasy Of Gold,written by Ennio Morricone. The Metallica band has been playing that as their intro music for about 40 years man. Every fucking show.:yah:dude:
+1In general, the entire dollar trilogy deserves top marks. Simply incredible music by Ennio Moricone, brilliant direction by Sergio Leone and ... Clint Eastwood! The heroes of the dollar trilogy performed by Eastwood were the idols of my childhood.
pretty sure it was played on some off-brand Italian guitarFantastic music, loved since it I was a kid, still have the vinyl in my collection! He's not playing vintage strat, just an old looking strat but you can't expect a pro guitarist for the DNSO to afford a fifties strat...
I do wonder if the original was played on a strat, somehow it sounds off to me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was played on some Italian guitar...
I studied this movie in film class back in the 70's, and the way Leone cuts from panoramic landscape shots and moves all the way in to extreme close-ups of the faces is masterful! Both the landscape and the music are almost characters in the film lending the story emotional nuance and texture!
It goes to show you that Stratocasters can handle any type of music...especially both kinds.:jim
The most brilliant film! The film became a cult classic and had a huge influence on the Western genre. I just recently wrote a review of movies, I used https://papersowl.com/examples/movies/ for this. I can't go a day without watching something. Recently I thought about the fact that there is nothing more worthy of films to watch. The feeling is like everything that is possible I have already seen.
