I don't care how many times I've heard it...

... I can't get enough of this riff. River Dragon is still my favorite NM song because of it. Can't wait to get home so I can start bashing my head up against a wall trying to re-learn it.

Im sorry, but its these types of solos that make me want to sleep.
Fun to play though, but not the least pleasing to my ears. ;X

I remember learning that bastard solo lol

 

[RyanUsesThis]

I always thought of it as more of an elaborate riff than a solo. Guess that's left to interpretation. Either way, I like the way it goes from the mechanical riff into the more organic solo made up of mostly bends. Definitely my cup of tea.

Sounds musically pointless. Haven't heard the song though

 

[AboutBlank]

He plays soo sloppy^^

 

[RyanUsesThis]

I noticed the sloppy playing. All of the stuff he did in those sessions was a bit below his usual standards.... which of course is light years beyond my abilities.

 

[El_Gato]

argh, my ears are bleeding

This solo section starts at 3.28 into the video.

Its a awesome song, with an awesome solo I just can't get enough of Nevermore recently, and this is the only song I can play some of the riffs from I've got to practise some more...

 

[Chryst Krispies]

He's got some Bees tone going on.

Yeah, my ears are bleeding from how awesome this solo is

Haha...my band actually played a cover of "river dragon" in a live show on January and I totally fucked up this part...really embarrassing . In my defense it was my first live show ever and my hands were shaking throughout the whole set. Bad song choice for our first live show I guess. I don't think I'm going to attempt playing it live again anytime soon though...

Its brave of you to play this for your first live show dude! I don't think I'll ever be able to play it

Thanks, but it turns out it was more stupid than brave. I could play it in rehearsals fine most of the time but I found out that playing it in front of an audience it's a whole different deal, for me at least.

Just googled the song, and i have to agree with you!
As a riff, rather then a solo, its awezum.

I need to get some stuff with Nevermore.. havent really listened to them in yeaaaars.

Thousandth post for you!

Man that was like 3-4 years ago, just recently found and uploaded it

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Yeah, didnt notice haha!

I can tell it's pretty much spot on, but hearing guitar pro just gives me some depressing nostalgia haha

True true, every time I used to write out tabs for ideas for my band in front of my drummer, he'd always make fun of the playback noises it'd make when typing in the notes, LOL
