Yeah, well, seeing how we're being all subjective and no one can be wrong..

What you posted epitomizes the pussification of America imo..

If someone asked me to listen to it again I'd tell them that before I would, I'd slap the dick taste so far out of their mouth that it would be late next week before they could enjoy it again.. But hey!! To you it's great !

Just being subjective and all.. No one can be wrong,, right

Now maybe,, before you decide to get all snarky again under the guise of subjectivity and insult some one else's appreciation of good taste on anything, perhaps you'll remember...

c'est la vie

or

Pura vida

OK, no pussification here: What you posted sucks.....and you are dead wrong for thinking that piece of music is anything but a piece of shit.

Any attempt on your part to argue otherwise means that objectively that you are a part of the pussy cat dolls that argues for subjectifiation.

(do you prefer that attitude? )

Well I don't like the Black Keys.

Steve mostly doesn't like anything that is bluesy.

But if you have ever caught his act, you know that could be an outstanding blues singer......but that is not his taste.

However, one of his best compositions was in fact basically a blues number:

Actually, I find the attempt amusing

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

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..

To be released in the US August 19th..

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

Thank you Steve, I think

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.

WSS

Axe

Thank You sir! I really appreciate that .

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!!

John Petrucci.........................

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..

The Cysko Kid

That pussy song by the pussy black keys from that pussy album went platinum in every English speaking first world country. Pfft. Gold.

Axe

This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by The Cysko Kid. View it anyway?

Umm, no....

Have a good life young man...

The Cysko Kid

What a pansy ass move. 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.

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

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.

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.
