what happened to the great guitar riff?

[krammer]

smells like teen spirit, sweet child of mine from the not too distant past spring to mind but the only current band i can think of who are true exponents of the riff are queens of the stone age. oh for the days of van halen, deep purple, sabs, floyd etc etc.

if yer not wearing the latest designer labels these days forget it. and heavy rock/metal just don't mesh well with designers

WinMX the new 'The Music' track
also if you can live with the singing the Muse have some great riffs.

i hear what you're what you'r saying about hey ya, for me the most inspirational track of the year, but i cant see the riff

Me and a mate went to Sherringham to a pub called the Crown, (down on the front,). They had a Band on called the Flat Greyhounds! A good covers band as well they were. But the crumpet there! I would have been put insde for wot I was thinking! The average age must've been 17 if you were lucky!

I quite like The Hives at the mo. They're sorta like a modern Dr Feelgood.

You weren't going to start a small fire or something were you?

[Rogue Monkey]

Papa Roach do some good riffs but they always sound like tampered with sab riffs (ALL hail the mighty IOMMI!) :)
