Everything else is little more than an amplified string quartet.

I love this riff, Its the Red Hot Chilli Peppers performing Californication live at Slane Castle.... it goes on for a few minutes then kicks in for the song its immense I think, by none other than John Frusciante and Flea.

 

 

Enjoy !!

Pretty well covered here for riffs, but some others I would add;

 

AC/DC - Love At First Feel

Sex Pistols - Holidays In The Sun

The Clash - 1977

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules

Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing ( saw a vid of him doing this at Blackpool Town Hall and its just brilliant)

Judas Priest - Victim Of Changes

Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera

Slayer - Mandatory Suicide

The Hives - Hate To Say I Told You So

 

Oh, and

 

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

Stevie Wonder - Superstition

 

I defy anyone not to shake their bootys to those two.

Very good that hamstrung. What a fucking riff Battery is too.

 

Found this on that site, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain doing Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme, very good (seen this lot a couple of times at festivals, right laugh):

 

 

The Good, The Bad, and The Ukulele | Groovy Grooves

 

It's a different version, which is interesting, but all the way through I was just thinking, I'm putting Ennio on after this is finished.

Nothing quite like a bit of Friday afternoon Ennio. Had me some "Ecstacy of Gold" earlier.

that tune by the Cribs, Men needs has a nifty enough riff

Hendrix could destroy this thread. Purple Haze, All Along The Watchtower, Voodoo Chile, Spanish Castle Music, Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire...
