Greatest Riff Ever?


Recommended Posts

The smiths how soon is now is a good shout. Jonny marr is a genius.

Pink Floyd would've said shine on you crazy diamond pisses all over money. Strange decision that one.

Whole lotta loves ,just of rip off, of Muddy water and the small faces

The 'song' is a rip-off - of Willie Dixon, mainly, and of Steve Marriot - Plant has admitted as much.

The riff is original, though, I think.

Aye, admitted it after they took legal action,,Zep must be the biggest rip off artists in the history of Music

Ken - their worst rip-off was Dazed and Confused, which was nicked from a relatively unknown guy on the local scene - a fairly well structured piece of music.

I think the blues rip-offs are a bit more forgiveable - Plant often had to come up with a vocal on the spot, while Page, Jones, and Bonham jammed on a groove. I'm not saying it was right - just that you can see how it might have happened. I got into the blues through Zep.

The point I was making is that the Whole Lotta Love riff was Page's, rather than a rip-off.
