Songs

what is everyones favourite song and guitar riff.
my mate baz's is twisted sister's were not gonna take it ,and riff is crazy train.


and mine is
man of golden words by mo ther love bone or nirvana and best riff is smells like teen spirit by nirvana.

 

Hmmm... my favourite song depends on what mood I'm in, but at the moment it's 'Zombie' by the Cranberries

As for guitar riffs- it's got to be 'Sweet Child of Mine'

 

well my mood does change a bit,
but come on man everyone says sweet child o'die

 

Can't round down to a single song, but my favourite riff is Paranoid Android

 

My two favourite songs both by Belle & Sebastian

Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying
From "Are You Feeling Sinister" 1996

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
'This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye'
Said the hero in the story
'It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words'


The Boy With The Arab Strap
From "The Boy With The Arab Strap" 1998

A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
When you've been inside
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town

Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
Squalor and smoke's not your style
'I don't like this place'
We better go
Then I compare notes with your older sister
I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
She accepts my confession

What did you learn from your time in the solitary
Cell of your mind?
There was noises, distractions from anything good
And the old prison food
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
Cause anything's better than posh isolation
I missed the bus
You were laid on your back
With the boy from the arab strap
With the boy from the arab strap

It's something to speak of the way you are feeling
To crowds there assembled
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
Everyone suffers in silence a burden
The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
The Asian man
With his love hate affair
With his racist clientele

A central location for you is a must
As you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts
We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon
Until noon again
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
You're the boy with the arab strap

Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest w***s
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bathtime could take a while

 

cmon charis we know u have a place in your heart for the riff to iron maidens run to the hills

 

Hmm, maybe lol! Although One by Metallica is also cool and of course, Harvester of Sorrow.

 

DA, you're meant to set a good example for us, I think you forgot there is swearing in that song.

Good choices though by the way
