honeybucket - guitar riff
let it all be - drum riff - first bit
night goat - bass riff
we all love judy - guitar riff
mombius hibachi - guitar riff - first bit
"The bit" is on the top of my list, and I'd have to think what the others are...probably the whole riffing of "Instant Larry", also
yeah id put 'The Bit' is top of my list too.
i think 'Queen' has a really cool, sludgy riff. definatley a standout riff on stoner which. awsome for a slow tempo song.
that really chunky, bone crunching part of 'the fool, the meddling idiot' when it sounds like armagedden approaching.
heaps of others but these are in my mind at the moment. oh, and basically anything high distortion, palm muted, on dropped D....which is alot!
number two pencil-intro..badass
hooch-chorus
oven
rickets :wink:
AMAZON!
the extra groovy rockin part in "in the freaktose the bugs are dying"
bass riff in little judas chongo is one of my favs, especially when buzz kicks in with it towards the end. oh ya its shoved has got to be one of the best.
oven, easy as it was, eye flies and anaconda are killer riffs, the it's shoved riffs kick many asses too :)
anyways, the melvins are the riff masters, they have loads of awesome riffs
The Bit - Guitar riff
Its Shoved - Drum
:D :D
the controlled feedback on At the Stake. How do they do that?
Also, the Wipers cover Youth of America. Very cool to see live.

its very eazy, my dog can do that
you just move with the "stick" on yer guitar
i dont know how its called in english, here its
p
whammy bar
Definitely agree with the AMAZON and the fool... crunch part.
Charmicarmicat also kicks ass.
In fact now that I think about it most guitar based Melivns songs have cool riffs - I guess that's why I love them.
i don't think he's using a whammy bar on at the stake. i think he's just pushing the string down behind the nut.

damn. never thought of that. thanks smokey.
sweet willy rollbar.
brain center at whipples-really good catchy riff, one of there best
eye flys-the bass.........the feedback
the bloat-amazing bass by Mark D.
the horn bearer- heavy guitar madness, insane drumming
boris- the definition of a sludge riff
some consider Stoner Witch their masterpiece,
but I actually think Stag is their best CD. And by
extension that Mark D solo disc too. Great riffs on
every song. hard to pick favorites!
honeybucket!
I agree with anaconda on this one. Stag is probably there best. It really represents there diversity.While I think there three classic albums are Bullhead, Stag, and HAT.Stag is probably there most definitive album.
anaconda wrote that: some consider Stoner Witch their masterpiece,

Are Stoner Witch and Stag the only two albums released on a major label?
And what do y'all think of HAT? Its my favourite because i sounds unlike any other ( but then again i have only 5albums), and it is a really good arangement. It flows smoothly, and it just SOUNDS great, raw. In saying that though, my favoruite songs arent on that album. But what do y'all think of HAT??[/quote]
Houdini, Stoner Witch, and Stag are the only major label releases by the melvins
the ending of "oven" is one of the heaviest riffs ive ever heard
best melvins riff... that one in the fool the meddling idot is really awsome... just so heavy... hmmmmm...
Divorced with Tool has an awsome riff... so does Skin Horse (its just so tiny) Also in Brain Center At Whippys when the guitar noise follows Buzz vocal snarls almost perfectly.
I can't choose a favourite, but a really good rif along the lines of CHarmicarmacat is the one from Speciman (available on the 1-12 singles, plus live at various shows). Should check it out if you havn't already.
The riff they played during Jamies "Kranky Klaus" was heavy as fuck. Anyone have a mp3 of this?
definetely the main guitar riff on queen, the drum intro to anaconda, riff from leech, also echo/ don't piece me
I could narrow it down to about 100 songs, if you want! :lol:
eye flys
charmicarmacat
see how pretty, see how smart
boris
judy :shock:
So many, but these might be the heaviest.
We All Love Judy
Billy Fish
Charmicarmicat

Yeah, I got it. So, your not really in Paris? In Paris, but not French? I was gonna ask if you and bloated pope know each other. And both have an awesome view of the Eiffel Tower from your apartments. That's what Americans think. :lol:

I studied art history in Paris for a month back in '05. Every bar was a gay one, and everyone smoked! Even the alley cats! What fun!
