Rock's Greatest Guitar Riff

JohnnyTheFox said:
Saw the ultimate sin tour at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena, opener was Metallica who got booed and rightly so because they sounded bad. Anyway yeah definitely put that album up there with my favorites from Ozzy. Also saw Randy on the Diary of a Madman tour about 5 weeks before the accident, magnificent player very fluid almost like a violinist

Envy. I'm going to guess you have a couple more solar circles than I do. I was too young to see Randy on my own and my mother was not in tune with the Rock and Roll universe so she wasn't going to take me.

Good stuff if you like guitar stuff from those artists.

I found it ironic that that documentary featured one of the greatest guitarists in rock history along with two guitarists that are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Jimmy Page. The Edge is a one track pony with his delay pedal trick and Jack White is anything but a great guitarist. Both the Edge and JW have written some great songs, which is hugely important, but they lack the musicianship of the great Jimmy Page.

61 years old, wasn't allowed to go to concerts until 79 when I was 15 years old. Missed out on some great shows here but made up for it when I got going. First three concerts were Van Halen in 79, kiss and 79 and Rush on the permanent waves tour
 
You know, I've seen a ZZ Top song or two, but there should be at least 20+ of them on here starting with

  • Waitin' for the Bus!
  • Sharp Dressed Man
  • Gimme All Your Lovin'
  • Tush
  • Legs
  • Cheap Sunglasses
Another one I haven't seen yet is Skynyrd, Sweet Home Alabama

How can we forget the great Guns and Roses to boot. Heck, Appetite for Destruction alone was a master class in riffage.
  • Mr. Brownstone
  • Nighttrain
  • Paradise City

ZZ Tops Just got paid was the first on my list earlier.
That and La Grange are a blast to play on guitar for the main riffs.

Actually, his brother Malcolm was the riff machine. He wrote most of the iconic AC/DC riffs. Angus wrote the leads. Either way, that entire group was touched by angles. They like Van Halen had two iconic singers to boot.

My buddy and I always discuss how very similar Eddie / Alex where to Dime and Vinny. It's a shame that Pantera only had a single iconic singer. If they had. Freakin' wow.

Not to mention that VH also had one of the best backup vocals of all time in Michael Anthony
 


Haven't seen this gem mentioned. Might be one of my all time favorite intros and is so under rated.
 
Carlos Santana
Soul Sacrifice, black magic woman, smooth etc etc
