April 13, 200620 yr Let's discuss about riffs and riffers, people :D All those pieces of a song everyone knows, even without knowing the name of the song or the band that plays it. Those are problably the most famous sounds we ever created. My list on greatest/most famous would be: 1)Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water 2)Led Zeppelin's Black Dog 3)Eric Clapton's Layla 4)Guns N' Roses' November Rain 5)The Who's Pinball Wizard 6)Many Led Zeppelin songs, like Fool in the Rain, Hearbraker and Houses of the Holy In my opinion, Jimmy Page is by far the greatest riff maker, since so many Led Zeppelin songs have famous riffs. So, what are, in your opinion, the greatest/most famous riffs, and the best riff makers? ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me

April 13, 200620 yr Author Deep Purple - Black Night Deep Purple - Lazy Deep Purple - Space Truckin' Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain Rainbow - Long Live Rock'n'Roll Rainbow - Stargazer Rainbow - Kill the King Nobody beats Blackmore's riffs. His riffs and solos are really amazing :) I was gonna add Lazy to my list, but I thought there was no actual riff on it. Is there one? I mean, it has like 5 minutes of "solo", what part is the riff? ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
April 13, 200620 yr Oh well, to many to say them all, but today I was watching Lynyrd Skynyrd show, and I saw amazing riffs. ~komodo
April 13, 200620 yr His riffs and solos are really amazing :) I was gonna add Lazy to my list, but I thought there was no actual riff on it. Is there one? I mean, it has like 5 minutes of "solo", what part is the riff? I guess it's more a theme than a riff. But I'm calling it a riff. What part is it? It's the part you'd hum if someone asked you to hum "Lazy". Dreaming of that face againIt's bright, and blue, and shimmeringGrinning wideAnd comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

April 13, 200620 yr my definition of "riff" a seqence of notes that form a pattern that are played reapeatedly
April 14, 200620 yr Author That's the definition I'm considering, LP. Money for nothing riff, by Dire Straits is also great :) ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
