I agree Mike.A kid I have taught to play over the years came by to do some pickin last nite and told me I always pick out the hardest licks to play.I told him learning is learning it matters not how hard it is because your here to learn not play.A guy once told me.If we all liked the same thing,there never would have been any choc. ice cream.

Anders, thanks a lot for the comprehensive link on these videos. Lot of work, I know, but greatly appreciated.

Thanks for opening this discussion Elton. It's been done before in bits and pieces, but nothing with this kind of participation and without a lot of negativity.

There should be a link of some kind to this thread for others who are interested in the range of styles steel guitar has been and continues to be involved in.

Mike: Outlaws of country was the only show I ever watched on CMT. Very cool that you got to do that.

Here's another great unique approach to steel.

I just bookmarked the first page, and then you can come back to it any time and check the new additions. If you stickied it, it would freeze it.

This is an orchestral pop band that uses steel in almost every song they do. Sometimes you can't really tell it's there but it is.

The Heavy Blinkers
Here is one with some noticeable steel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wORH1T1onNE&feature=related
And one where the steel is buried real good, just a few pings here and there..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw_4-U8gQGU

Another band along the same vein:

The Polyphonic Spree

I don't know if this one has already been posted, but it appears to be pretty standard steel in a not so standard format.

Dang, Justin, you DO find some out of the way stuff!
Polyphonic Spree - catchy, poppy, almost '60s-ish vibe.
Nice!

Duncan: No, I don't think I've seen that clip. Nice as well!

Just ran across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKo0mW8e96M&feature=related

as well as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRTB7F0Hkuk&feature=related
and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR-YWUDnjrc&feature=related

BJ Cole was one one of my earliest heroes and influences. I so much prefer the above CLAIRE DE LUNE to the one on CD - no synthesizer (overdone), just a beautiful pedal steel solo.

Many more examples of BJ - from hip-hop/electronica to straight country - on youtube.

WOW, that's a fantastic selection, Justin!!
Gonna take a bit of time to get to them all.

Pete Drake with George Harrison, Ron Wood with Rod Stewart, Sneaky Pete with Frank Zappa, Bruce Kaphan with Thomas Dolby, Olivia Newton-John http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCaiat__Mwc&feature=related, didn't know there was steel on THE BOXER, Motley frickin' Crue?! - dang, steel's everywhere!!

Yes, Tom Waits is a genius in my book.
He uses steel now and then, to great effect.
Here's a track from ORPHANS, the BAWLERS disc,
steel by Bobby Black!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uTARf5TzPQ

Nice to know our instrument isn't disparaged by all artists and producers...

Yeah I binged a bit yesterday looking for some cool steel. Glad to have a place to put all this unique steel, thanks again to everyone who's been adding to the thread, I love coming back and finding some new stuff.

Daniel, I actually took the bus from Chicago to Columbus in 2006 to see Mr. Waits. Hands down the best show I have ever been to.

Just to keep people busy with steel.

SO I was watching some Leonard Cohen videos today. And realized he had a pedal steel player with him when I saw him here a few years a go. I can't remember which songs had steel on them but the man played for 3+ hours so I am sure there were more than the one I found.

Hey, Justin:
I checked some live versions of LET'S DO IT A DADA, and can't find a slide or steel. Seems to be guitar, unless there's some documentation to the contrary.
However, the former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones does play bass steel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCMjAdqtD0I&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUWA8aZZ7M8&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUygDMFclco&feature=related

Leonard Cohen - great!

KMFDM actually had a bit of steel, by Marc Durante.
(Hard to pick out, but it's there, according to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Durante)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdmhFhxJIXQ&feature=related

Marc's better known (to us) for his role in the Waco Brothers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdmhFhxJIXQ&feature=related

And I can't forget the great Rubber Rodeo, a relatively short-lived cowpunk band, with pedal steel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04YBqwp0nyw&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEug9VdNDU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDqthYKc-aM
On the SCENIC VIEW they did an excellent instrumental, CIVIL WAR. Find it if you can.

Daniel, I found out about through the discogs track listing
http://www.discogs.com/Einst%C3%BCrzende-Neubauten-Alles-Wieder-Offen/release/1127570
Of course, knowing them they could have been snipping strings off a tuned steel and recording the sounds.

I remember reading about John Paul Jones bass steel, but I had never heard it before. pretty cool.

And I hadn't listened to KMFDM since High school but I could hear some steel on there. Nice find.

Yea, "invented" instruments may not be a category at discogs. Couldn't see anything sliding in the live performances, but that doesn't mean it's not on the recording.

^That analogy (heh) is kinda painful. Mr. Green

I've been a bit hesitant to post this, as it's not really a 'different style', but it's quite possibly the first exposure I had to the instrument, even if I didn't know what exactly it was. IMO it sure is a pretty sound. And besides, Plant & JPJ have already been mentioned...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54j_WI4OPqs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3oh6RJ1ps8&NR=1

And speaking of JPJ, this is actually him on lap steel and *not* Page, way back in'70:

Elton, congrats on the session. Hope to hear it sometime. maybe some of these musical outliers for steel crept into your playing.

Christopher: I think the heart of this thread was styles of music aside from country that have steel in it. We may have drifted from that but the Zepplin counts. I rarely listen to III so I kinda forgot there was steel on there.

I know my morning jacket has been mentioned but I just heard this track on the radio yesterday and thought the steel was really interesting
