Favourite Riffs? Need something new ...

[BloodMountain]

EDIT: oh yeah forgot about Amon Amarth.... Chest beating Viking metal riffs galore!

Ooooo, just had a listen to those guys on iTunes ... awesome riffage! I feel a purchase coming on ... Asator on 'With Oden on our Side' is just superb, although probably far faster than anything I could actually play :D

+1 for the recommendation BM, just the sort of thing my new Warpigs have been waiting to play me thinks.

i just got With Oden On Our Side this week, it''s full of riffage! "Gods of war arise" and "Hermods ride to hell" are just 2 of my favourites! definitely buy it. also have a good look at their previous album "Fate of Norns" which also is full of riffage!

yeah, Metallica are also awesome, but you forgot Orion and The Call of Ktulu!

that's why I put the three dots in the end, otherwise I would be listing all of pre-load 'Tallica songs there

I've had With Oden On Our Side since it was released and it's full of awesome riffs but Versus The World and Once Sent From The Golden Hall still remain my favs

also some Savatage riffs are awesome, for example Hall Of The Mountain King

MADNESS REIGNS... IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING! *über riffage*

what are they like? sounds good!

kickass 80's heavy metal with some symphonic elements and lots of piano
Jon Oliva has awesome voice and Criss Oliva (R.I.P.) cracked up some amazing solos
Testament's Alex Skolnick also provided the guitar work on the album Handful Of Rain after Criss' death
Zak Stevens became the lead vocalist also at one point, he has great voice but I prefer Jon Oliva's


this thread needs more Judas Priest
Painkiller, Between The Hammer And The Anvil, The Ripper, Electric Eye, Breaking The Law...
also some Accept, Balls To The Walls oooowwwnnsss

+1 to the Priest. Grinder off British Steel was the first song I learnt to play by just listening to the record (not that its actually very hard to play, but I was chuffed at the time :) )

And from a totally different genre, I am also partial to a bit of Franz Ferdinand. They have some supremely playable stuff in there IMO, check out Jacqueline, Take me Out, The Fallen. Good tracks when you want to dial the gain back a bit.

Mnemic - Door 2.12 - Also ace.

Edit: Add Replica by Fear Factory.

It was Dream Gear material? :o

Going to the LGS and gunna see which BKPs are suited for it aswell.

More riffs - Hot for Teacher and the intro to Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, some good ole VH.

Surely Camo Nailbombs in such a guitar, anything else would just be wrong :)

+1 for Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, was just getting to grips with that one today, and also 'Oh Well' by (Peter Green's) Fleetwood Mac. That whole intro rocks.

I was thinking Camo Warpigs to murder the 81s that come in it :D

But Nailbombs are definetly crawling into my mind.

They're both aimed for metal, and are both extreme high output, so what's the main difference between them?

[Kepu]

or you could ask battle-worn camo pickups, that would look brutal :twisted:



and on topic some Deep Purple wouldn't hurt
Burn, Smoke On The Water, Highway Star, Black Night, Speed King...
