leviramsey Posted June 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2012 About when did you decide, "this is all shit" and stopped the video, Mike? It's kind of striking that (unless one counts U2 and/or AC/DC as British) there were no British riffs (ignoring for the moment the attribution of "Pictures of Matchstick Men" to Camper Van Beethoven, though the Quo version was not a hit in the US, while the Camper Van Beethoven version was) between Dire Straits and Muse. 55.

MuseI watched it to the end, and I didn't think any of it was shit - a good riff is a good riff (although being pedantic, I would suggest some of those were licks rather than riffs). But you're right that that I was completely familiar with every one up to about the three-quarter way mark, while many of the later ones meant absolutely zilch to me. Wish I could play with that sort of ease. Little Hands of Concrete, that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
