R&F XM Listening Thread for 06/11/2008

[ANC]

Sweet Child O' Mine opening riff is insanely hooky

[Freakshow]

You Really Got Me, top 5 riffs.

Closest we have to a guitar god these day is Jack White.

[MadMatt]

I'll comment: It's UBERGAY AND SICK.

I don't like it either, but I was trying to maintain a polite tone and not directly "attack."

[Mark It Zero]

Seriously - it isn't "Work Safe" for the majority of us surfing at work.

EDIT: It isn't a comment on your personal taste or interests. You just have to be conscious of the impact on other board members. There isn't a way to (easily) block avatars from appearing.

Oh, gotcha.....I really thought I was in keeping....the girlie pictures that start the thread each day aren't exactly work safe either, plus I've seen some pretty racy graphics posted here and there.

But, not a problem, I can ratchet back from "NYPD Blue PG-13" to "PG" ;)

[A.J.]

Smoke On the Water, FTW.

[hexy68]

no "Satisfaction" in the top 100???????...this list is worthless :thumbdown:

[ANC]

Heartbeaker - Led Zep
Barracuda - Heart
Welcome to the Jungle - GNR

[Furtherman]

The best guitar riff I've heard recently is Gov't Mule's Streamline Woman.

This youtube sound doesn't quite do it justice...

[Freakshow]

:furious: C'mon. At least play the Kinks version.

[ibanez23]

Heartbeaker - Led Zep
Barracuda - Heart
Welcome to the Jungle - GNRAgreed.Jimmy Page was a master of the rock riff.

[bobsnin]

hendrix - fire

[A.J.]

"Whipping Post", Allman Brothers?

[MadMatt]

Yeah, the opening pics for this thread touch the line sometimes - I won't dispute that. However, they also tend to have all of the 'parts' covered and can be avoided relatively easily. Avatars follow you everywhere, on every post.

The other threads with racy pics are usually obvious ones to avoid when at work (ex: Hot Chicks thread).

Thank you for being considerate and changing your avatar though. We appreciate it. :thumbup:

[bobsnin]

[ANC]

Agreed.Jimmy Page was a master of the rock riff.

Hell yeah, Black Dog, Living Loving Maid, Immigrant Song.

[MadMatt]

I was thinking "Under Pressure," but that is a Bass riff, not a guitar riff. I guess it wouldn't count...

[porkchop32]

Hell yeah, Black Dog, Living Loving Maid, Immigrant Song.

IMMIGRANT SONG WAS WHAT I THOUGHT OF WHEN THEY STARTED THIS LIST

[midwestjeff]

Money.

Which, btw, I hate. Love Floyd, hate that tune.

[A.J.]

Agreed.Jimmy Page was a master of the rock riff.

Hell yeah, Black Dog, Living Loving Maid, Immigrant Song.

And perhaps his best: The Ocean.

[ANC]

You SHook Me or Highway to Hell ACDC has to be on there.

[ibanez23]

Being a guitarplayer for almost 30 years.The one riff everyone learns first is usually smoke on the water.

[Valued Listener]

...Are we going on best guitar tunes, or best riffs here??

[MadMatt]

"Eminence Front" by the Who has a great opening guitar riff, but I'm not sure if has reached "iconic" status.

Anybody?

[Freakshow]

White Strips, White Stripes, White Stripes.

Seven Nation Army, Hardes Button to Button, Blue Orchid.

Probably not very high on his list, but Song 2 by Blue is a great rock riff.

[ANC]

And perhaps his best: The Ocean.

We've done 4 already but now we're steady, and then they went 1,2,3,4...

:thumbup:

You're a guitar? I wish my guitar could post. Eh, maybe not, then I'd have to get her a laptop.

Play along at home.

As usual subjective and WRONG! :wink:

[CruelCircus]

According to the Rolling Stone website, the list is the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs, not riffs.

[ibanez23]

You're a guitar? I wish my guitar could post. Eh, maybe not, then I'd have to get her a laptop.I knew that was coming.:lol:

[MadMatt]

How about "Sleep Now in the Fire" by Rage?

[midwestjeff]

Let me guess, mouse freeze?

[chili]

The Allman Brothers are fucking massive down here, I don't know where the hell Ronnie is getting his info on this.

My walk to work used to be "Filmore East Whipping Post-long." Perfectly timed.

[Servo]

Paranoid Android, anyone? Anyone?

[Hottub]

AC/DC rules all opening riffs.

[Freakshow]

I like "Rocks Off" as the best Stones riff, honestly.

[ibanez23]

How is eruption a guitar riff?

[ChrisBrown]

I have to disagree with Ron. Allman Bros are big in the South. I travel to VA and NC fairly often and they are on the classic stations all the time.

[porkchop32]

Have to go with Dave on the Satisfaction debate.

[midwestjeff]

Winger rules all opening riffs.

Oh Tub, will the eighties ever end for you?

[Hottub]

Oh Tub, will the eighties ever end for you?

The opening riff to "Seventeen" is pretty damn catchy.

[midwestjeff]

Don't argue Ron, Fez knows all about baby penises.

[MadMatt]

why not just remove the phrase "Under God" from the Pledge? It wasn't added until 1954 and not part of the original pledge.

[A.J.]

The opening riff to "Seventeen" is pretty damn catchy.

Tub's the one on the left.

Ham n eggers who don't really know good guitar players love that shit.

[bobsnin]

My buddy was his sister's best man

[ChrisBrown]

Big A turns on Dave before Fez does. At least someone pushes back.

[Freitag]

I had a female groomsman (groomsmaid)... and if she asked me to stand up for her I'd do it in a heartbeat.

If his brother gets married, were does Dave stand? Face, dude.

[MadMatt]

Tub's the one on the left.

http://www.mtv.com/onair/beavisandbutthead/images/flipbooks/meet_cast/stewart/stew6.jpg

My left or your left?

[midwestjeff]

Sex with a baby is at five months.

ewww.

[MadMatt]

Yeah, but Sheepy probably won't be getting married any time soon so you won't have to worry about it.

[hexy68]

weddings suck :annoyed:

[Mark It Zero]

Does music like Joe Satriani count for Guitar Songs, or are they instrumentals? In any event, I think AC/DC is pretty darned iconic.

[ANC]

Fez has a baby penis countdown clock :laugh:

[midwestjeff]

Fez has a baby penis

Rude and rude!

[ANC]

Does music like Joe Satriani count for Guitar Songs, or are they instrumentals? In any event, I think AC/DC is pretty darned iconic.

I was going to say Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, but I think it's more of the mainstream/forefront bands.

[MadMatt]

Free-flowing booze tends to make a great party... :drunk:

[Mark It Zero]

The needs for a really great party? I'm having a pirate band, fireworks and a pig roast for my 40th birthday party in August!!

:drunk:

[ANC]

No fish? What the hell does that mean? :blink:

[ibanez23]

[ANC]

[Boyzbigg]

[midwestjeff]

Fez needs to send each listener $125 for the advice.

[ibanez23]

or Yngwie Malmsteen...Right! Love the Malmsteen.:thumbup:

[Boyzbigg]

BBQ in New York City the end of days is near!

[chili]

With few exceptions on both sides, I'm sure NYC BBQ is about as good as SC Italian.

[midwestjeff]

The orange stuff is your hair Dave.
Get it away from Ron's food.

[ANC]

Is it just me or when someone talks up a BBQ place, a pizza place, etc waaaay too much... I love to criticize the shit out of it.

[Mark It Zero]

Fare thee well, buddays!

[MadMatt]

Here are the real questions this afternoon - Is Earl cutting his food into small pieces and is he wearing his socks?

[Freakshow]

I'm craving Red Hot and Blue like mad now.

[hexy68]

[ibanez23]

With few exceptions on both sides, I'm sure NYC BBQ is about as good as SC Italian.Are SC pulled pork sanwiches served with cole slaw and spicy viegar sauce with pickles?

[bobsnin]

Have a good week all. I'll try to call in and give a review of the Nicole Atkins show performance tomorrow.

[RhinoinMN]

Is it just me or when someone talks up a BBQ place, a pizza place, etc waaaay too much... I love to criticize the shit out of it.

That's right. They are asking for it.

[chubb257]

what was that placed called?

[KnoxHarrington]

That BBQ place should just shut down. They're done. You do not disappoint Mr. B.

[ANC]

Are SC pulled pork sanwiches served with cole slaw and spicy viegar sauce with pickles?

The only way to serve them.. I'm starvin' now.

[Boyzbigg]
