Definitely always a jump scare seeing any of my own old posts come up....even from a couple of moths ago I sometimes think Who Is This Cunt? The price of opening your mouth is the way I see it.

Don't know if it'd top many peoples lists but I absolutely love Warthog's Coward

Pages, years, and no Sonic Youth??

99% of Slayer riffs are basically variations on the actual best metal riff ever:



but after that I got into a whole heavy metal thing, and in the end decided it was one meal or I'd be here pigging all night. So with the above pie I'd have this sauce:

Pages, years, and no Sonic Youth??

awesome, def would pick the first two

 

[ska invita]

THis is amazing Spinal Tap foundation!

 

[rutabowa]

ohh if we're going black flag i think i pick this (another bass riff, the guitar is just grimey noise widdle)

It isn't just the bass; the guitar does the riff too... idiot. I agree with choice though.

 

[rutabowa]

I have a couple more, this bridges the gap between black flag "my war" and Sleep/Sunn O))) etc, but is probably the best riff of the lot:


and this is just amazing

Best riff from Zimbabwe, The Four Brothers- Wapenga Nayo Bonus



Best riff from what was then Zaire, Pépé Kallé & Nyboma - Zouke-Zouke

Jimi was dead before I was born.

But, Voodoo Chile is the correct answer.

Can you believe he wrote that when he was 24/25? I mean... barely out of nappies and you're doing shit like that

I have a suspicion, based on no evidence, that most great tunes in the rock and pop world are written by young people. IME it's rare when a musician keeps writing great music as they age. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, yes. I'm sure there are more examples. But I think they're the exceptions.

Yeh. I'd agree. Equally, most of the great tunes are written by self taught musicians who have no idea how to read music. Pure instinct. Jimi being an example.

The second part is awful though. The slide guitar is out of tune and goes on ruining the quite pleasant chord sequence for what seems like years. It’s like a squeaky chalkboard of bad intonation.
