SMF, I haven't seen the Mineo movie. Is it any good?

My own favourite, J Mascis current rig apparently it's like standing in a wind tunnel while someone punches you in the kidneys.

Elmore James should be in there too instead of a lot of the old toot that gets a rating.

Re: BBC Radio 2 All-Time 100 Greatest Guitar Riffs
Formby by did they provide a definition of a riff? Some don't seem to be what I'd call riffs, but I can't offer much of a reasoned explanation. Also have they put together a " mix tape" of just a bit of each riff? Or something like Neil's WELD.

Re: BBC Radio 2 All-Time 100 Greatest Guitar Riffs
After the fantastic concert last week - I'd have to add Mr. Dylan's Love Sick - live version. Was Long Way to The Top on the list?
And I'd have to say Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and Tumbling Dice are better riffs than Satisfaction.

Re: BBC Radio 2 All-Time 100 Greatest Guitar Riffs
Haven't looked at the list yet but it should definitely have the supersick Stone Cold Crazy by Queen .....
one they don't have, I'll bet, is ...
Funky Dollar Bill by Funkadelic ... Eddie Hazel was a rifmaster extraordinaire!
