To Forgive is to Suffer-Death

The Sails of Charon-Scorpions awesome dark riff and one of the greatest guitar solos ever!...years before it's time!

 

[Jurched]

There is but one riff I enjoy, and think is relatively brilliant:

Fate's Warning- At Fate's Hands

Jurched

 

[TheAssMaster]

For a start off:

Saxon - "Wheels of Steel"
Motorhead - "Ace of Spades"
SOD - "Freddy Krueger"
Metallica - "Damage Inc" (riff in the middle)
Pantera - "Mouth for War"
Iron Butterfly "In a Gadda da Vida"
Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen"

and anything by Black Sabbath Mk1 (ie. up to "Never Say Die"), to be honest!

To Forgive is to Suffer-Death

the chorus to "scavenger of human sorrow"
the chorus to "spirit crusher"
the whole song "flesh and the power it holds", especially the into bass line.
the chorus to "sacred serenity"

Yo, gas...should I go for Symbolic or Human next?

i like symbolic alot more...but human is good too...human has the guys from cynic on it, but symbolic is just fuckin great.

 

[schenkadere]

Cool...thanks. I've heard some of Human...it's a lot different than the Sound of Perseverance.

 

[The13thCandle]

Equimanthorn and 13 Candles - Bathory 2 of my all time favorite riffs

 

[schenkadere]

Top of the Bill-Scorpions
Natural Thing-UFO

 

[gaschamber]

Don't Talk to Strangers-Dio

it wins the gold medal for gayest lyrics too, as does any given dio song.

Oh, come on...there are hundreds of songs with lyrics much gayer. I don't care...Holy Diver is a great album...that and Last in Line...after that it goes a little too Dungeons and Dragons for my taste.

I'm an old fart...that's the metal I grew up on. Late 70's, early 80's shit.
