I have like a few riffs that I have recorded that I thought were pretty cool or average at the moment, but couldn't think of any use for them.
For example I don't play black metal stuff, but I made this riff that I recorded with a fucking battery operated Marshall MS4 amp:

Sounds totally awful, but it is a "sound memo" for me about the idea. Well, today I remembered that riff and used the same chords but added the root bass note from the 6th string, so they actually turned into a triad chords. Then I added a demoloop and demo bass and the newly "produced" version sounds like this:

Another similar example:

and on the "finished" product I simplified the riff just a bit, made it about 30bpm slower and so on:
I wonder what I will use this, this, this, this, this, this, this or this for...
