How many of the songs we posted over the 5 years of this thread were created during / immediately after the Vietnam War? Damn crazy time but it sure was creative.

This is a new release, I've really dig these guys music since day 1! I doubt XRT is playing this yet as they've been on their playlist?

There is only one...

 

[beanhead]

....all great ones guys! Like many of you I could go on and on...my musical tastes are all over the map so I'll just put one out there, for a pure guitar riff...

 

[beanhead]

You want riffs?....

Thunderstruck is all ways cool when watching Pro Mods at the track. There're doing their "burndown" with each other and they're blasting Thunderstruck through the PA speakers, really gets you all pumped up!

My favorite riff is TNT. The lyrics; "So lock up your daughter Lock up your wife Lock up your back
door And run for your life" cracks me up!

As a guitar player, my brain went into overload when I saw this thread. You folks have nailed so many great riffs! I didn’t see this one, might have missed it as some links didn't work, but every time I listen to this...I love it!

But there are so many more!
