The story of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell is one, ultimately, of tragedy. Could there have been a Rage Against The Machine, a Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, without Walk This Way? Even Cypress Hill, Ice T and Eminem owe a huge debt to this pioneering collaboration. But, by hook or crook, Rubin conspired to make the recording happen, and a Rap/Rock masterpiece was born that created a whole new genre. Walk This Way was different to almost all the collaborations in this list because, legend has it, the two bands didn’t share a lot of mutual respect, and feared that both reputations would be damaged. To say Run DMC were not immediately keen on the idea is an understatement, but Rubin was undeterred. But one of the most iconic and surprising collaborations occurred when Hip-Hop looked beyond its own horizons, and some smart cookie named Rick Rubin convinced streetwise rap superstars Run DMC to collaborate with fading hair-metal band Aerosmith. Indeed, collaboration is in its very nature – MCs, DJs and dancers collaborating to create. Hip-Hop is a genre rooted in collaboration. Without further ado… the 10 Greatest Musical Collaborations of All Time (possibly): David Bowie and Queen – Under Pressure. When great musicians complement each other, inspire each other, and vibe off each other, magic can happen. So, this Top Ten is an homage to the collaborative spirit. Uninvited and unsure of how this would be received, it was a bold move that proves the point: a collaboration has to be a meeting of minds, as well as of instruments. Not content with simply flying in, throwing down a solo and swanning off he rearranged the middle section of a track by one of the biggest stars on the planet. Indeed, Eddie Van Halen’s amp-incinerating solo on Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ is the perfect example of this. It’s more than a guitarist being bussed in to perform a solo over an otherwise complete track. Let’s start by defining a ‘great collaboration’.Īgain, this is a subjective interpretation, but for me, a great collaboration is more than just a singer being brought in to sing a top line over an instrumental. Having said that, some music is objectively fantastic! These tracks are (we think) 10 of the greatest (recorded) music collaborations of all time. Music is far too subjective to objectively define what is good, or best. The Soul of Cinder will also now have access to Lightning Spear and Lightning Storm, both of which are easily avoided.The 10 Greatest Musical Collaborations of all Time.Īny ‘Best of’ must always be taken with a pinch of salt. If you are caught in any of the first four attacks, you will be stun-locked until the combo is over. The Soul of Cinder will engulf itself and its weapon in flames, giving it a new moveset as well as more powerful attacks, the worst of which is a massive five-hit combo. When you empty the Soul of Cinder's HP, back away, as the fight is not over. If you are caught in this, you will more than likely die. This is telegraphed by it charging its attack before letting loose. It also uses the insanely powerful Soul Stream. Last of all, the sorcerer’s staff will, as expected, allow it to cast a few different Sorcery spells, namely Homing Soulmass and Magic Greatsword. In curved sword mode, the Soul of Cinder becomes extremely acrobatic, flipping around to create distance where it will use Pyromancy attacks on you or cast Power Within on itself (without losing HP). When in straight sword and spear mode, its attacks are a bit easier to avoid and will be fairly straightforward. The boss' weapon has four different variations: a straight sword, a spear, a curved sword, and a sorcerer’s staff. It has a large variety of attacks and can even change its weapon mid-fight, making it a bit unpredictable. The Soul of Cinder can be quite a handful. When you are ready, equip your best fire defensive gear, and head inside for the final showdown. Along the way, if you have followed Anri of Astora and Yuria’s story as instructed for this first playthrough, you should find a summon sign for the Londor Pale Shade and Yuria of Londor, though if you are playing online, I would recommend summoning a human helper instead. Interact with the coiled sword on your left to be transported to another section of the area. Return to the Kiln of the First Flame and head outside. Inspect his remains to get the Skull Ring (Checklist Ring 67/107). Head up to Ludleth’s throne to see he has burned away. Light the bonfire and quickly return to Firelink Shrine. You will reappear in the Kiln of the First Flame.
