Top Cowbell Songs!
. 5. "Rock of Ages" Def Leppard: "Gunter�glieben�glauchen�globen," and with those four head-scratching German words (actually spoken by Def Leppard producer Mutt Lange), the Leps' still fully-armed drummer Rick Allen turns his attention to the almighty cowbell, clanging out the classic intro to one of the '80s greatest fist-pumping anthems. It's better to cowbell than fade away! 1. "Honky Tonk Women" The Rolling Stones: What separates The Rolling Stones copious cowbell from the herd during the intro to this debaucherous little ditty is the non-traditional beat producer Jimmy Miller thunks out on the cowbell (no, Charlie Watts did not play the cowbell on this one). Where most cowbellists stick to a straightforward hard-driving cow-beat, Jimmy's softer, funkier take on the beef bongo instantly identifies one of the Stones' greatest songs.
