    Great unknown riffs/grooves

    Are you familiar with a tasty riff or groove that you are pretty much convinced virtually no one else knows but you? Then this thread is for you!!

    I'll go first.

    I can't find anyone who even remotely remembers the band from the way early days of grunge called Love On Ice. To me, they kinda sound like what you might get if you dropped Ugly Kid Joe and Jane's Addiction in a blender. This tune was their single. The riff and the over all groove has stuck with me for 21 years now (sickening). Their only CD, Nude is phenomenal and they have a great song on the Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack called Showdown.

      Around here, pretty much anything by Parliament/Funkadelic...

      Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

                          Y'know, thankfully, I'm unfamiliar with this particular "riff". I steered my kids away from this show the best I could.

                              Fortunately, my folks didn't steer me clear of this creepy fella from my yoot.

                              OK, totally derailing my own thread already. Just great.

                                                  Wow! After years and years I finally got a clean copy of this tune!

                                                  An April Wine single from 1972 called "Teacher". It was the B side of their hit single "You Coulda Been A Lady" from the album "On Record". THIS song, however, was never included on the album or released on any other record.

                                                  I have this single, but by 1980 it was all scratched and when I finally recorded it to cassette in the 1990s, it was scratched badly....skipping, clicking, popping, etc....

                                                  Listen to the section that begins about 2:03...

                                                  THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN GUITAR SOLOS OF ALL TIME!

                                                  Listen to that TONE.....in the initial few bars there is this great pick sound......the acoustic rhythm begins and the fucking guitar BURNS. Then it is sort of evens out before going back to the chorus one time...

                                                  The solo transcends the song......then there is a short outro solo.

                                                  I was given this by my cousin from Denver in 1972 and I played the shit out of it.

                                                      I saw those guys live with Lover Boy as the opening act. I think it was my second concert I ever saw. Yeah that solo sounds great. I remember April Wine being a solid band live.

                                                      No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

                                                          That's awesome Hardrock! The solo is kind of like Frampton's solo to the Lodger, but on cocaine... so much cocaine!!

                                                          Where's that cat?
