itt: infectious riffs

theShipment [Edit] [Delete] 83 replies 18:55, 16 March '11

Like when the drums drop out on Infinity Milk by Danananakroyd:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO8MkQPoc1E

or this one on Twist of Cain by Danzig
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-BwXAGDfk8

You know, the kind that get stuck in your head and that. Can be as simple or complex as you'd like.

Label your videos por favor.

love it or loathe it

the answer's A-Punk isn't it

brandt | 16 Mar '11, 19:13 | X
- "infectious riffs" (note the plurality)
  
  There is no ONE answer, but if I had to pick one, that wouldn't be it.
  
  theShipment @brandt | 16 Mar '11, 19:16 | X
  - i see the errrs of my ways
    
    but it is really infectious, in the same way as cholera
    
    brandt @theShipment | 16 Mar '11, 19:24 | X
this is a good place to ask

Is there a catchy riff that's longer than this one? If so please post

Riffs you say?

Well alright then.

..that'll probably do for now.

colossalhorse | 16 Mar '11, 20:50 | X
- Strong post.
  
  Soapmakers is awesome, hadn't heard that Banshee one. The rest are great too. Seems you like yourself some stoner rock.
  
  Eddie Hazel is amazing.
  
  Lol at that Spiritual Beggars album cover.
  
  theShipment @colossalhorse | 16 Mar '11, 21:26 | X
  - Yeah, I love a bit of stoner rock
    
    mostly due to spending a couple of years in my teens nigh on catatonic on weed.
    
    I once got thrown out of a record store for listening to that Spiritual Beggars track on the listening post for an hour.

First Communion by GGD has been stuck in my head for the majority of this week. Just the bit where the high guitar starts at the beginning is enough to make grown men cry at train stations:
