I saw that commercial. I thought it was a joke at first. The song list is great, but the advertisement was the worst one I've ever seen. At first I thought they were making fun of people who like good ol' rockin' tunes, like the ones on the CD. The dude in the blond wig looked like he was trying to look like Sammy Hagar, and not doing a good job of it. I didn't know what to think when they showed them pop up at the funeral wake. I laughed my a** off. They looked so goofy with thier wigs jammin' air guitar. It was to much for me. I still have a hard time beleaving it was a real commercial for a real product. I thought I was the only one in the world to see that add, untill I saw this thread.
Great song list, but could have done with out the RunDMC version of walk this way, and the goofballs in the add.

At amazon uk the boxed set of volume 1 and 2 seems good value if you like the track listing of the two double albums.
The Best Air Guitar Album in the World... Ever! should not be mistaken for a "greatest rock album ever" kind of affair as it would cause monumental arguments as to why it includes Robbie Williams but not Led Zeppelin. The songs chosen by Queen guitarist Brian May are all there because they make the fingers start flexing, the head to start banging, and force you to assume the imaginary position of a pouting rock guitarist on stage in front of thousands of screaming worshipers. The first disc kicks of with Queen's heavy blues-rock anthem "Tie Your Mother Down" and ends with one of the most epic guitar solos ever recorded, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" which sadly appears as an abridged version. Highlights along the way are the brooding intro to Bowie's "Rebel Rebel", the Surfaris "Wipeout" and seminal guitar moment from beardy rock god Eric Clapton on "Layla". Disc two has a few more inclusions from recent years with Robbie Williams' storming "Let Me Entertain You", Weezer's "Hash Pipe" and Wheatus's "Teenage Dirtbag" alongside such classics as Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" and Motorhead's "Ace of Spades". So in summary there's no "Stairway" but plenty of guitar hooks, stabs and widdles to keep you prancing like Kiss while sounding like Beavis and Butthead.

Wow! 12 tracks on each disc. How do they do it? If I wasn't so dumb I'd think they could have gotten all of them on one disc.
But then they couldn't charge how much for the discs and s&h?

looks like some of the songs on the uk cd are cut. Layla is only around 3 min instead of 8 min, freebird is cut in half to only about 5 min instead of 9.
