Poll: Best pick-scrape

[Papus]

I'll start us off:

Just listened to Highway to Hell - the pick-scrape in the chorus after the guitar solo is pretty impressive!

Ted Nugent Stranglehold

Runner up

Michael Schenker Lights Out

Normally this song wouldn't really be on my radar but it literally came up as a joke in a conversation between friends the other day and someone mentioned that it had the best pick scrape ever:

Poison - Talk Dirty To Me

Seriously, right before the first verse.

This is the best poll ever!
Yeah i'd got to say High way to hell, i do like the pick scrape on the intro to Right next door to hell by Guns n' Roses.

Ummm, so where is the poll?

I'm with ya there, plus what other song out there feeds off the A String with C and D accents that even comes close to as heavy and recognizable as Stranglehold.

There is no more awesome pick scrape in history than the one at the very end of "You're Gonna Need Me" on the James Gang "Live In Concert" lp from 1971. First a slow slide up the strings then a perfect scrape back down as the drums and bass kick back in.

Joe also gives a demonstration of playing heavy without speed on this song. He's plugged into a HiWatt DR103 that Pete Townshend gave him, btw.
