Hat Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well that bridge/riff/solo thing counts, I'd have thought. Yeah I'm aware that the song has guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howardm93 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Also I'm not sure if it counts as "riffs" but Animals is Matt's best guitar work to date I understand one what you mean it is very good but... (Muscle Museum)#2 the guitar work is just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Also I'm not sure if it counts as "riffs" but Animals is Matt's best guitar work to date I'd say it's tied with Bedroom Acoustics but yeah, this is true anyway The poll has 10 voters, calm your tits. Well, that, and Citizen Erased's riff really isn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzthief Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Then the solo that is sadly buried under vocals in the studio version <3 I think that maybe it was too difficult to sing over live. No? The live solo he played was more badass anyway. CE at Glasto '04, Micro Cuts outro, Stockholm, MK Ultra outro, every riff in Survival edit: oh and New Born is great too edit: not sure if counts, but Hysteria (inb4 but it's a bassline hurrdurr) Well, wasn't Hysteria's bassline written by Matt on the guitar?

Clunge Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 PiB? Seriously...? Wut? . Plug In Baby is easily Muse's most recognisable, iconic, classic riff. It will be one of the few moments that will forever define Muse as a band (and Matt as a guitarist) and rightly so. It's not personally my favourite but it is a crucial element in Muse's success.

JamesWS Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 What's the riff in survival? I think people are getting mixed up between a riff and a solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 From about 1.30 to when the main verse comes in, no? Definitely riffage, not solo. In fact, I'd say Survival doesn't have a solo, anything remotely solo'ish counteracts the riffage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picko Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The last 25 seconds of Stockholm Syndrome has always been my most favourite riff of all time. I also think the riff for Dead Star deserves a shout out. Great fun to mosh to/play on guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what Clunge said I would always associate a riff as a repeated phrase (much like an ostinato in classical music), I can see where the confusion lies though, it's a tricky one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 One thing we can agree on though is that the guitar work in Survival kicks major arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
