Guest Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Anyone else got bit by the Link Wray bug? Rumble Fish/ Pulp Fiction and many other films contain his sexual and mesmerising riffs. A Shawnee native guy loses a lung in Korea and is told he can't sing again- Archie Blayer..the Hideaway chap... took him on and Rumble was one of thee first banned records! He found his voice/along with Doug- his Brother. Gutsy real Rock n Roll!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Rumble Ian. Brilliant. Rumble Fish was the group formed by Bruce Springsteens wife, Patti Scialfa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Stoke axeman Slash,with his sweet Child of Mine. Tony iommi, Paranoid. Keith Richard,Jumping Jack Flash. Richie Blackmore, Smoke on the Water. Just a few great opening riffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I recorded the prog from Friday night on BBC4. Also Guitar Heroes for the umpteenth time. Rarely have Rory on, although he was Bob Harris's favourite on Whistle Test . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 What about 'Diddle diddle diddle de'....... The intro to Layla played by the late great Duane Allman. The greatest 7 notes in the history of rock music! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiffy49 590 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I suppose I have many favourites but my "favourite" favourite is "Hotel California" by the Eagles. Second to that would be "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Smiffy if you've got Sky Arts on your TV there's a programme tomorrow night (Saturday) at 10.30pm "History Of Te Eagles 1/2) with part 2 on Sunday at 11pm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 When I saw the title to this thread I thought it might be something to do with 'The Desert Song'. But it seems not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHAQYJrhxuU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Always an enlightening subject. When I was a lot younger the raw guitar riffs inspiring my emotions were Tobacco Road by Nashville Teens, Stones Satisfaction and All Over Town and, later, any of the guitar bits in Ramjams Black Betty. And The Kinks You Really Got Me. Hmm ...1964...Skegness..Butlins..... Anyway, Earnie Shears' intro to Cliff's Move it we also considered brilliant because we could easily copy it and annoy the parents, along with The Pirates Shaking all Over. Alvin Lee got a mention earlier and quite rightly too, most of his work was impressive imo. So, moving off riffs, consider the guitar in his The Bluest Blues 2nd improv, it hints at a bit Gilmor-ish in places. Knopfler was always good for a riff too. So much to choose from it's difficult for me to make a definitive choice, it depends a lot on the weather. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
