I’ve become fascinated by kickass riffs from artists who don’t normally concern themselves with ass-kickery.
Examples:
Darling Nikki by Prince
Movin’ Out by Billy Joel
Beat It by Michael Jackson (though it’s sorta explained by Eddie Van Halen’s presence)
Post your own.
excuse me say that again
I think of Prince Rogers Nelson as a groove guy more than an ass-kicker. He made music for dancin’ and screwin’, not headbangin’.
