Voted "Back In The Saddle" on pure gut reaction.

Cream.

meisenfek, Thursday, 26 February 2009 09:20 (seventeen years ago)

actually its Ain't talkin' 'bout love...

The Day I Tried To Live = Kashmir backwards, sorta. I've always seen it as a rip-off of the chromatic idea that make Kashmir heavy.

This is "Purple Haze" although Hendrix had better riffs than that one.

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 26 February 2009 11:23 (seventeen years ago)

Best riff: Sunshine Of Your Love

Slash gets a gold star for singling out The Day I Tried To Live, my favorite song on Superunknown.

word

Carles Jr. (some dude), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:25 (seventeen years ago)

Rock Bottom

henry s, Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:30 (seventeen years ago)

The Day I... is a strange choice. Soundgarden had some way better riffs.

^^^^^this

bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

Jesus Christ Pose alone has, like, three that are better than this one

bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:49 (seventeen years ago)

Particularly the one that comes in at 3.50.

lol poor jeff beck, does he have any rabid fans that aren't also famous guitarists?

Lorax in NYC (some dude), Friday, 27 February 2009 00:55 (seventeen years ago)

I notice "Purple Haze" and "Black Sabbath" are both in the list. Slash has a thing for the tritone, apparently? :)
