Boris is powerful. Authoritative. He is the bringer of hope. He is the bringer of life, the promiser and the overcomer.

Boris has once said unto me "I am Boris. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

One more day to go, get those votes in people. Whatever riff wins this round will go against those who submit more riffs from Melvins songs. It will be limited to 15 including the winner in this round.

[gesundheit]

It should be a second, separate round. Then take the winners from each and they should be pitted against each other one on one.

That would make more sense...just my opinion.

[Mad Arab]

Okay the winner for round 1 is POTRE! Now I am taking submissions for the first 15 submissons for round 2 to decide who to pit against POTRE.

Suicide In Progress
Starting at 0:00 - 1:30


The Melvins - Suicide in Progress

[Mad Arab]

Alright, forget it. It's evident that no one wants to take part in this any further. POTRE has the greatest guitar riff from Buzz Osborne he ever created. I'm glad that is settled.

if i may speak for myself, i think we all are.

p.s. i would have nominated 'zodiac' for round 2.

The interesting thing about all this is that most songs do actually have more than just ONE riff in them. Sure, there are a few that it is consistently one main riff or that one particular riff is just assumed to be the riff in question...but songs like Zodiac and POTRE have more than one awesome riff. In the case of POTRE there is just a slight variation but still...

We could get down to specifics but I am also happy that it is agreeably settled and we can all move on in life. Phew!!

I couldn't pick one as the best, but The Fool, The Meddling Idiot has had a lot of power with me.  When I saw them in 2004 Buzz introduced it as his then favorite song by them (but you know how fleeting his self assesments can be).  I think it was the show closer and it just slayed me.  I've always loved it, and that moment still ranks as one of the most sonorously pleasant experiences ever.
