Riffs... Hmmm--"The Spirit Of Radio", anyone? And there's Yes' "Heart Of The Sunrise", and King Crimson's "Elephant Talk", too. (Crimson is actually a great source for Massive Introductory Riffage, depending on what you call a riff; try "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 2" and "One More Red Nightmare" on for size.)

They're more like.. Visual Kei J-rock. Which is obviously influenced by glam anyway.

Dynamo on "Best Opening Riff's" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-riffs#post-8340 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:27:55 +0000 Dynamo 8340@http://glamrock.com/forum/ The Sweet always did have great intro's, whether it was a siren like on Blockbuster or a "YAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" followed by a bomb going off like in Hell Raiser, or a great drum solo like Ballroom Blitz, but I always liked Andys guitar riff, accompanied by Steves Bass line of course, following on from the kids shouting "We want Sweet" in Teenage Rampage. I also like Sweet Child Of Mine by G<code> <pre><code></code></pre> </code>R, Action by The Sweet (Both album and single versions which are different), Roll Away The Stone by Mott The Hoople and Poison by Alice. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> BTW, talking of Blockbuster, the siren on the intro was banned in the USA when they released the single over there so it was removed. Has anyone ever heard or got a copy of the alternative version without the siren?

They would use that song to open their concert, or as a brutal segway into any killer tune. Every time I hear that to this day, it makes me want to slam a shot, do a line, scream at the top of my lungs, and jump off a building!! Mr. Scary for sure. <a href="http://tinypic.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i11.tinypic.com/85azrk9.gif"></a> gibsonsg0511 on "Best Opening Riff's" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-riffs#post-6724 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 14:11:38 +0000 gibsonsg0511 6724@http://glamrock.com/forum/ 1.
