Members Armchair Bronco Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Captions, people!CAPTIONS! And I'm sorry: but A LOT of the songs in this thread do NOT have great opening riffs! Great songs don't automatically have great opening riffs, and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lukenskywalker Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 What the F&*k does your rant have to do with the riff?Nothing, except it shows ignorance.

Members Lukenskywalker Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 I listened to Rod Stewart and the Faces 'Stay with me' that's pretty good, long assed-intro thiugh. I thought of some bass line intros. 'All is Quiet on New Years Day'/U2, 'We Got to get out of this place'/Animals' She's Not There, and 'Time of the Season' by the Zombies.

Members csm Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Seen this bring more people onto a dancefloor than absolutely anything ever recorded When I were a lad,the instant floor-fillers were Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour. Even if the rest of your repertoire was blues and rock, you could NOT get a gig unless you played those two songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
