Riffs...That You Wish You Had Thought Of

Houdini116 · Post by **Houdini116** » Sun Sep 12, 2010 4:27 pm

I was jamming with some of my friends yesterday, and we were playing some original stuff and a few covers and that all led to a discussion of some of the riffs/songs that we wish we could have thought of.

What are some riffs/songs that you wish you could have made up?

I'll start:
Masters of Reality - Rabbit One
Just listen to it once, and you will be hooked.

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
It's simple to play, but it's just got a really hypnotic groove to it.

The Black Keys - I Got Mine
Another song that demonstrates the power of using fuzz to drive a sweet riff.

And, anything by Marco Rodi

Just got to be - The Black Keys and Willie the Pimp - Frank Zappa.
Both these riffs make me groove like nothing else.

Haha, I always talk like that too, "if only I could go back in time and write that song..." Or I'd go back and make Ginger Baker my drummer, Geezer Butler my bassist, and I'd have a hard time picking a singer. I'm just weird I guess :cool:

I dont re write single riffs so much as I write riffs that get really close to 2 to 3 other songs

Scratch that.
Every single riff Rory Gallagher has EVER played.
The dude was awesome.

For all I care they can pretentious all over everyone's face. As long as it sounds good. And it does.

Of course that's just my opinion and, therefore, the only valid one.

"Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top. My God that thing splits my zipper.

I always wished I wrote "Snowblind" by Sabbath. So I do write it. Over and over. Every time I pick up a guitar, every time I have a band. So I got that going for me.

If you like Xiu Xiu you should try Indestructible beat of Palo Alto :lol:

I hope someone gets the reference.

I'm with whoever said Snowblind and Rory :rock:
