BRITISH Heavy Metal vs Heavy Metal USA (Guitar Riffs Battle)

[chilipeppermaniac]

TBH Gball, I can live with that, all our paths took different roads.

In my case, just like in my life since I have been able to drive, I take many many unknown roads to see where they go, to see where they lead me and to get the experience along the way.

Another seminal album/band that took me on a journey was Physical Graffiti which was my 1st Zep album. ( not my first Zep experience, but my first Zep Album) My fave too.

My first was LZII, but my favorite by far is Physical Graffiti

I do like British metal too but its not heavy enough for me.

Jo Bench would like a word with you...

Id say one day, we might have to call a formal UN summit and apologize to the rest of the 192 members for polyester leisure suits, acid wash denim, hair crimpers , Pontiac Fieros, JNCO jeans and basically the entire musical years of 1998-2003.

We can blame Canada for Celine but yeah, screw Europe for that wave of dog poop they flung at us. We're even lol

@Iron1

Hard to believe you would listen to that when you live where this was created:

It does explain the tops, though...

 

[SG John]

Don't you ever feel loke relaxing with some softer rock? You are a man of broad musical tastes and everyone needs a frozen cocktail, say...on a boat, once in a while

If I'm relaxing on a boat, which does happen, we're usually listening to reggae or ska. I often ask to hit the 'MBR archives to play some Afrobeat or other west African music. I usually get shot down. If only they would give it a listen.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

I like both.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I like both.

Me too, GOO

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

As do I

This isn't really metal riffs, but interesting, nonetheless.

My vote goes to The Offspring riffs.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

OffSpring all the way here alao Smitty.I always thought Noodles was one of the best of the power chord guys.Tastefully done power choding if there is such a thing.Is now lol.

I have my reasons to agree but in reverse. When I was 10 I pretty much wore the grooves off of Led Zep ll and I take nothing away from PG. Might be their best but ll is my favorite.

Both are definitely great. My favorite is actually one of the lesser loved, Led Zeppelin III. Thought it covered so much ground perfectly

For me USA

Not to compare them head to head but many of the bands on the US side would not be the same had they not heard the British rock. No doubt the American stuff is quite aggressive and hard edge.
Almost all the British side predates the American , it is a natural progression in aggression.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

Progression in Aggression would make a great song title!

For me, it was a heavy Australian influence.

Those are the guys who made me want to pick up a guitar in the first place, actually
