Black Dog is one of my least favorite Zep songs. Very generic blues riff. Sad.

riff
rif/
noun
noun: riff; plural noun: riffs

1.
(in popular music and jazz) a short repeated phrase, frequently played over changing chords or harmonies or used as a background to a solo improvisation.
"a brilliant guitar riff"

It is the best rift, but the best section of the song is when the time signature shifts then the main riff is played at a different cadence starting on B instead of E.

>>69731018
Ten Years Gone is way better. Best Zeppelin riff right there.

Frusciante is literally the most overrated guitarist.

>>69734091
"no"

>all this basic bitch non-metal riffing
>ever coming even close to most metal bands
Might as well call it pop music with how repetitive and simple and boring these riffs are.

The point of melody/riffs are to be engaging and memorable. Look at Paranoid or Iron Man, less is more.

Metal speed shite is the complete opposite, just noise.

>>69731245
youre goddarm right

>>69734464
Some bands make it work.
They usually have other things going for them though.

>in popular music AND jazz

jazz btfo how will it ever recover?

>>69734389
Well, I posted Visions From The Darkside and Fall From Grace which both have intricate riffs without turning into wank, a variety of rhythms, a good number of variety of riffs themselves, and the sheer intensity/visceral feel that comes with riffs. Death metal tends to be harder to digest because it attacks with so much at once, but that doesn't make it bad you just gotta get used to its attack.

>>69734464
Nope. Don't confuse melody with riffs first of all. Melody is that next level shit you hear in jazz records or on like a Bach piece, not that basic bitch shit in popular music. Secondly, your standard for engaging and memorable is going to be totally different from someone else's so that's good for you but pointless in a topic like this where we are talking about the quality of the music itself not necessarily what it does for us personally (since what something may do for us personally isn't what it may do for anyone else.) Third of all, having a track just be based on a couple basic riffs doesn't really give that track much value in terms of listening except it being the equivalent of musical junk food. Metal riffs tend to be both cerebrally engaging due to how intricate they are, there tends to be more per track to ensure that there isn't some dumb "oh we are gonna just play two chords for the verse because our listener can't handle it" watered down pop approach that most tracks posted in this topic seem to have. Whether it does it the slower, groovy way, or the fast, intense way; metal always brings the most out of the riff idea.

>>69734720
Most traditional jazz stuff is just poppy riffs. Jazz doesn't become arty as fuck until certain big band jazzists and mostly bebop come into play.

>>69734010
funny story me and me pa was watching the clip from woodstock where Ten Years After play I'm going Home by Helicopter and he goes "who is this" I was like "uh I don't remember Ithink it's Ten Days After" he started laughing

"hahahha Ten Days After huh? The fallout didn't last very long eh?"

>>69734748
I know I thought it was worded in a silly way is all, as in it implied jazz wasn't popular.
