<![CDATA[Greatest Guitar Riffs]]>UK Radio station is trying to find the 'best guitar riff' and has a shortlist of about 100. Some pretty awesome stuff in there, including some I didn't already know, and since it's from over here, maybe some will be new to you guys (even you Steve!)

Deep Purple? Are they a Shallow Lilac cover band?

I don't know.....but I think a variation on the name: The Violet Abyss.....would actually be a good name for a band, no?

Edit: in checking, I see that there is a Violet Abyss as some kind of Manga character:

Ya gotta point. I never thought Kurt Cobain would be talked about this long 😉

He sure wouldn't if he'd lived.

In my opinion neither would Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin.

@axe said:

Actually, I find the attempt amusing 😆

And actually, that was the purpose

Here's some facts for you, That "pc of Shit" as you call it is the title track from a gold record.

I only called it a piece of shit to bust your balls on it. It may be a perfectly fine piece of music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_to_the_Wall

Balls to the Wall is the fifth album by German heavy metal band Accept. European label Lark Records released the album in December 1983, but its US release was delayed until a month later in January 1984 as to not compete with the band's then-current album Restless and Wild, which had arrived in the US in early 1983. It is Accept's only record to attain Gold certification in America.[1]The album's lead single, "Balls to the Wall", became Accept's signature tune and remains a metal anthem and trademark in the genre.

Now that metal anthem was released 31 yrs ago and is STILL considered a genre classic.. I'm going to suggest that in 31 yrs no one remembers a thing about the White Stripes (whom I personally don't have a problem with) or the Black Keys.. And Accept is still going strong..

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, I suspect some people years and years ago may have said "I bet in 31 years no one remembers a thing about the Rolling Stones or the Beatles or The Who"......or "about Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Chuck Berry".

.....I mean, some of those guys are still going strong after over 50 years.

To be released in the US August 19th..

Their last two efforts were OUTSTANDING! I expect this one will be as well..

Can't take the least bit of criticism even though nothing I said could be the least bit inferred as personally offensive to you. Well I can't say my heart will be broken.

This one isn't significant in the "Greatest Guitar Riffs" discussion but it's extremely significant to me.

It cracked the wall I had thrown up, late at night on the day I buried my 20 yr old daughter..

Pull Me Under & Under a Glass Moon aren't too bad either..

Accept IS simple.. And simplicity often makes for the best riffs. The youtube I posted of Accept was probably not the best one I could have selected of that particular track. Raw, but that's what rock is.. Regardless, I swapped it out for the original 84 video. 😉

Megadeth.. Mustaine has written some classic riffs!

Alex Lifeson!!

Thank you Steve, I think 😕

I collect show dvds. One of the best I own is Pink Floyd's "Pulse"

I can respect things I don't particularly enjoy. I'm not a big fan of blues rock or most hard rock but I do like some. Still have a great deal of respect for a lot of those players. I think you are a hell of a guitar player from what I've heard.

Technically I think Accept is a little bit run of the mill as far as hot guitar players go.
