{ Lick That Riff! }

Hello everyone and welcome to another weekly riff and this weeks riff is from one of my favourite artists and songwriters. It's also always been a personal favourite riff of mine for a long time. To be honest I don't think I've ever seen an artist reinvent themselves so much. Released in 1974 this song is supposedly Bowie's most covered track which surprised me a little I must say, considering his other amazing hits; Starman, Space Oddity, Heroes, Life On Mars and Changes to name but a few. But this one is the most riff orientated out of those[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another weekly riff. This weeks riff is another from the 90's and is one of the msot recognisable riffs in rock history. It propelled alternative rock into the mainstream and made one band extremely popular and famous. Today's riff was released in 1991 when i was just a lil one year old :) It comes from a band, which I'm sure you all know, called Nirvana. Credited to Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Kurt Cobain, this riff defined a generation and had many youngsters moshing and throwing their hair around. The song,[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another great RIFF! This weeks riff is a real corker and comes from the early 90s. In fact I think I was only about three when it was released :-) Anyway it comes from an artist that I haven't heard too much of in recent years, and a guitarist that has written two of my favourite riffs ever. This guitarists, dreads 'n' all is of course the 90s legend... Lenny Kravitz. And the song? No its not his Number One selling 98 hit, Fly Away . Its the amazing fantabulous legendary Are You Gonna Go My Way. Taken from his[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another weekly riff. This weeks riff comes from one of the best guitarists of the last decade. The song is from the English alternative band, Muse. It comes from their second album, Origin Of Symmetry, which was released in 2001. This guitarist actually won my very own poll for the best 00's guitarist, so it seems about time that I did a post on him, and what's more fitting than paying homage to one of his greatest riffs. So, who is this guitarist I hear you ask? Well if you haven't already guessed, its the[...]

Hello everyone and welcome to another weekly riff. This weeks riff comes from one of the biggest artists the planet hasever seen. It is also taken from the biggest selling album of all time, Thriller. I think this is the first song that I have done which is not considered to be from a guitar album. This song also features a special guest appearance on the solo from one of the best guitarists of the 80's. That guitarist is of course, Eddie Van Halen. And the artist who sings this quality song is, as I'm sure you've already guessed, Michael[...]
