But one thing is for certain, that great pile of Doggy-Doos that is Duff Leper haven't written anything worth listening to like EVER. Pig Thick ignorant deedahs the lot of them even if they aren't all deedahs. I suppose Duh Sabs Symptom of the Universe has a good riff The only Def Lep riff that stands out in my head as being any good is "Wasted." Lame song, but a decent riff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f67A6gF0pJk My Dad once helped Joe Elliott sing the chorus of Wasted back in '79 (At Chesterfield's Fusion Nightclub). He said they were shite. if only def leppard could have taken their music career as far as your dad has.. just think! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmclark Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Their live Mirror Ball album is on Spotify (nothing else of theirs is) - Joe Elliot's voice has held up surprisingly well over the years. He's not nearly as high pitched as he used to be (not unlike a certain Canadian we know) but he sings much better than I expected him to after all this time. Unfortunately, the rest of the band is inexcusably sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Donnie Iris and Cruisers - "Love is Like a Rock" <-This is the only riff I ever learned to play on a guitar. It is the king of riffs! Here's the proof "HEY! Love can rock you Never stop you... AHHH AHHH AHHH, Love is Like a ROCK!!" And then there's the opening riff to "Ah! Leah!" which just too good to be contended with. Which maybe the greatest music video ever! God, I love Donnie Iris! Edited April 28, 2012 by BigBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IChoseFreeWill Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 My ringtone is the opening riff from Limelight. But there are other very good ones. I love the opening one from Thunderstruck by AC/DC. And the one in the middle of The Final Countdown by Europe. And of course, the fast one in the middle of I Want It All by Queen.
