Uncle Joe Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Wouldn't you think that some of the songs from Farm Aid would feature cowbells?

I remember that Saturday Night Live episode with the cowbell and the band playing "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and he was banging the cowbell so hard but his fellow band members didn't like it. Then Christopher Walken came out of the recording booth and said he wanted even more cowbell. That was so funny!

XXX Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 A cowbell CD is not complete until you have the 10 minute live version of NewOrder's "Perfect Kiss" Chris Isaak and other Country-like bands and singers have cowbell, but don't get it mixed up with the triangle!
Brad_M Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks, Brian. I just checked out that site and I downloaded the video. I used to have it on my old computer but the hard drive crashed on that and I lost everything. That video is so funny!
