Ah now then, I need your help - there is a track by Focus which contains a rendition of a thunderstorm in it with a jet airplane going over half way through, do you know which track it is, it's driving me NUTS!? I thought Focus 3, but I cannot find it on utube.
Oh and the riff has to be Heartbreaker - unless I can have the baseline from Ramble On - trips my trigger every time! |

No, I'm sure it was Focus - it was a very long electronic instrumental track anyway."
The track I mentioned has lyrics in it so I guess it's not the one you're looking for....it's the only one I can recall with a storm as part of the intro.  |

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac are one of my all time favourite bands.
Hunt YouTube and find "Need Your Love So Bad", its simply beautiful. Gary Moore did a cover of it too (using the same guitar as Green, long story for guitar nerds) which was equally wonderful.
Anyway, back to riffs...
Shadow Play-Rory Gallagher
Brute Force and Ignorance-Rory Gallagher
Hot for Teacher-Van Halen
Oh Wild One-Gary Moore (although he never recorded a studio version of it before he died). |

I love them. Why Cant We Be Friends is one of the most consistently happy songs I have in my collection. Such a great untypical funk band |

"Mean Street - Van Halen

Aint that the truth, Eddie is a riff machine but never as much as late 70's to mid 80's when Diamond Dave quit |

I saw them in '84 with Dave and they were awesome. I saw them on the last tour while I was in the states too, Dave's voice hasn't lasted but Eddie is still the king! |

Never saw them but I preferred Sammy Hagar as a singer for a long time. But he went off the deep end and went all Hollywood. Now Dave's back older and wiser and less of a douche, i can live with that lol |

Spammy is the anti-christ!...lol
They made some great records with him and he was superb live, just wasn't Dave though.
I saw them every show they played over here with Sammy... |

Not sure if most people know what a Riff or Lick is....
Anyway mine is Rhiannon which was written by Stevie Nicks but I guess the guitar riff was written by Lindsey Buckingham. |
