Longest Riffs

[interviewer02]

What musical passages and/or riffs that you know of take the longest to run through one cycle?

I was trying to think of ones today at my job, I only came up with the opener of "Hex Omega".

[Bread and Faxes]

Deliverance by Opeth is a long one.

[Transient]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM


/thread

[Meatplow]

I remember reading in the Guiness Book of World Records as a kid that Prince actually held this record for this or something

[Aaron]

Om
Sun O))))

[Txus]

John Cage

sup?

[Angmar]

Rainfall

/thread

[Silenius]

Rainfall doesn't have riffs, just someone taking a **** slowed down and advertised as music.

[beans]

the ending of my curse by killswitch engage

they repeat the same part for about a min straight

the same damn 3 notes

[morjens]

the ending of my curse by killswitch engage

they repeat the same part for about a min straight

the same damn 3 notes

But it's a good riff!

What about the riff in the new Gojira song 'The Art Of Dying'?
the last riff(the awsome sounding one) lasts for a pretty long time.

[eliminatorz]

there are a lot of long songs with only one riff stupid thread

[Benzum]

There are lot's. These spring to mind at the minute...

Decapitated - Winds of Creation + Blessed.
Actually a lot of stuff by Decapitated.
Emperor - Empty

there are a lot of long songs with only one riff stupid thread

Yeah except that's not even relevant.

[EightMilesHigh]

Dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggoooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffooo oooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcc cccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee e

[Benzum]

Yah. Dragonforce.

[eliminatorz]

bezym u wanna ifeght

[Benzum]

knife fight

[lak89]

Dream Theater - Finally Free

That ending bit drags on for like 4 minutes or something

[Dimmu Burger]

Meshuggah - Catch 33?

[Thor]

Pretty sure Sunn O))) takes the cake here, if you can even call those riffs.

[Dimmu Burger]

Yeah I dunno if those are riffs, but if so Sunn O))) wins. If not then Meshuggah's Catch 33 wins.

[Reductio]

Is it just me or did Dimmu Burger essentially repeat Thor's post?

[Dimmu Burger]

There! I added some content.

[Reductio]

Oh cool so now you're repeating Thor's post and one of your posts

Much better

[Thor]

Who dares repeat Thor?!

[Dimmu Burger]

My apologies God Of Thunder.

[Ceminon]

Om
Sun O))))

Win.

[bastard]

John Cage

sup?

sup

[Altmer]

My apologies God Of Thunder.

Lightning strikes!

[bringonthebreakdown]

Yeah I'm thinking Opeth or Meshuggah.

[McP3000]

Are we talking about the length of one cycle of the riff, or the amount of time the riff is cycled?

[Dimmu Burger]

I thought it was the length of one cycle of the riff. Catch 33 is prettymuch a 40 minute long riff.

[Shattered_Future]

Doesn't Reverend Bizarre's newest album have that one song that's essentially the same riff for about 8 minutes?

[Altmer]

that meshuggah album is like the one riff recycled for 45 minutes so I guess it wins

[hXcPLISIT]

lolol

btw, thread idea kinda bl0z

[pate]

Doesn't Reverend Bizarre's newest album have that one song that's essentially the same riff for about 8 minutes?

The whole album is one riff repeated for 100 minutes.

[Dimmu Burger]

Isn't there a Beatles song that is one chord strummed for the whole thing?

[keyboardmosh]

yes, it's called 'strength and anger'

[bringonthebreakdown]

it's called almost every beatles song ever written =]

[keyboardmosh]

clearly youre too inelite to recognize ildjarn

[Nostalgia]

yeah forest poetry is like 1/2 a riff over and over. and yet it still destroys

[Correction]

that album does rule

[Det_Nosnip]

Wow...like 2 people actually got what the TS was looking for.

He's looking for the riff that takes the most amount of time before it cycles through and repeats itself...so, the OPPOSITE of most of your suggestions.

yeah knowing this definitely makes the thread better

[interviewer02]

Its the longest cycle of one riff, not how much a riff is repeated. God, who gives a **** about how long a riff is repeated?

I can always count on you to be smart. I can count on just about everyone else on this forum to amaze me with stupidity.

[keyboardmosh]

yeah forest poetry is like 1/2 a riff over and over. and yet it still destroys

strength and anger is basically one riff the entire time, and its pretty boring after one song

but its definitely really influenced what me and erik do when we record

[interviewer02]

you threads is stupid

Its just over your head, just like most of my discussion topics.

[masscows]

[interviewer02]
