Riff Life

I Love The Riffs In This One But A Few Really Stand Out.

Starting At 1:38 Things Build Nicely To 2:34 Mark From 2:34 To The 3:11 Point Things Just Progress To An Absolutely Pummeling Riff To End All Riffs (IMO Of Course). Great Stuff...Especially Live! What A Wall Of Sound And Power. Enjoy This One!

 
Whew! After that I could stand to lay back and groove a bit.

WARNING!! This is a live performance clip with extremely flashy bright lights!!

Let's enjoy, shall we?

 
This One Is A Banger! Intro Parts Are Cool But The Real Stuff Begins At :50 Though 1:15

From 2:02 Through 2:14 There Is Another Great Riff That Then Ties Back Into The One I Mentioned Above.

The Solo Section is Cool And Then Transitions Into Another Cool Riff At 4:38 to 5:30

Enjoy!

 
A Teenage Boy Just Hitting Puberty With Raging Hormones Likely Couldn't Keep Up With The Right Hand On This One...

A Picking Masterpiece...Enjoy!

 
The Main Intro Build Into The Core Riff Throughout The Song Is Clean, Precise, Articulate And Grindy All At Once. I Love The Stutters Thrown In Now And Then Along With The Hammer On Parts Sprinkled Throughout. It Just Chugs And Drinks Away...Great Stuff!

Was that satan himself singing, or just one of his helpers? I'm not sure how much content ole Luc is releasing these days.

Slew Foot And His Minions Are One In The Same In My Book. He Is Putting Out More Content Than Ever As He knows His Time Is Short. That Said, The Guitar Parts Are Awesome And I Tune Out The Vocals On Most Of This Stuff Anyway,

So Did you Like The Riffs Or Not?

Ok, so on the riffs…. Some of this type stuff I like. Some I really like. Some I don’t. Many times there is too much chugging of the low E or wherever the low E string is tuned, and not enough “other” stuff thrown in to keep my interest. Sometimes, it’s cool for a minute then gets repetitive, in part I’m sure, fueled by the constant chugging of the open low string.

I’m talking in general about this type of stuff. Keep in mind, I love Megadeth. They’ve been known to chug a little bit on the open low string, but it’s not overdone to the point of boring. Perhaps I think that when there’s a 4 minute long song, and 90% of the riff notes are the same note, it’s probably not going to appeal to me. Just my opinion, and nothing wrong with it, just not for me.

Now the vocals… I can’t listen for more than a minute. If the riffage isn’t great, I’m out quickly because I CAN’T STAND either the scream vocals or the Cookie Monster stuff.

Wow, haven't listened to the Corpse in probably 30 years. I don't remember them being that good, that sounds awesome.
 
Just heard to the version with vocals. Now I remember why it's been so long since I listened to them.

That said, Cookie Monster approves.
 
Here Is A Catchy One!

The Heavies Begin at 2:27 After A Long And Murky Intro. The Sea Sick Riff At 4:23 To 4:51 Ties In The Clean Parts And The Heavier Parts Nicely.

At 5:45 The Build Up Is Cool And Then Hits At 6:06 And Travels Nicely Along To The Lead Section At 6:59

Overall A Cool Song With Some Cool Parts To Vibe On. This Whole Record Is Great IMO.


 
Does anybody here remember the PRS Experience when Paul hisself got Jim McCarty of Cactus up on stage to perform? I'd never heard of the guy or his band, but that mofo played single note rock riffs like he invented the damn things. So much swagger in his playing! Paul was visibly freaking to see his hero on Paul's stage playing a PRS Singlecut. That was an epic weekend!
I remember seeing him play a bar in suburban detroit probably 20 years ago. Back before I was married and could stay out late. Those were the days.
 
I’ve always like riffs or grooves that had that “thing.” Where the drums are slightly behind the beat. I appreciate a lot of the heavier drop D riff stuff. But at least for me, listening to Zeppelin cover Eddie Cochran or Little Richard is all about getting a groove. Riffs (for me) need that groove thing.
