So I got bamboozled by Volbeat.



With that glorious, glorious song, they made me a promise of an entire discography full of tunes like that, but then only delivered, maybe, a handful. I am not satisfied. I am in dire need of as many songs as possible that are basically carbon copies of "Die to Live" and "Wait a Minute My Girl." That means:

- No extreme metal or harsh vocals
- Guitar-driven, so still hanging around in rock/metal/punk territory
- Speedy tempo
- Propulsive, "danceable" energy that keeps the song moving
- Every song must also prominently feature the piano as a melodic/percussive side dish
- Every song must also prominently feature brass sections or saxophones as a melodic side dish

I know these songs are out there somewhere, and you know where they are! Share with the rest of the class!

This has no piano, but everything else you described.

Already familiar with King Crimson, but I like where your head's at!

Tough criteria, but I gave it a shot. Maybe some of the picks are obvious.

Guns n' Roses - Move to the City (live - maybe not energetic enough, plus has band intros in the middle)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3x8ayiokRk

Magnum - Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping) (keys rather than piano, maybe not high energy enough)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipTmKwe5aBY

Less Than Jake - Good Enough (piano only comes in briefly near the end, not too high in the mix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASAz1xCPKqA

Riot - Privilege of Power if you never heard it, no piano but it's upbeat, raucous stuff and has plenty of sax and stuff mixed in with the speed metal.

Nah, none of those are quite what I'm looking for, in this case.

Although...I'll have to check me out some Magnum sometime soon to scratch a different itch.

What I'm looking for is closer to, like, 50s rock and rockabilly. Think Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard, but with modern production.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but you might enjoy this?

Already familiar with DD Verni and the Cadillac Band, but yes, that's pretty close to what I'm looking for.
