Best "Lay it Down" Riff Contest

[Beyond Black]

Dio "Holy Diver"
Sabbath "Born Again" "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules"
Mercyful Fate " Melissa" and " Don't Break the Oath"
Savatage "The Dungeons are Calling"
Accept "Restless and Wild" and "Balls to the Wall"
Early 80's Scorpions, Ozzy, Maiden, Riot, Saxon, Priest, AC/DC.......All of these and then some were chock full of riffs that make "Lay it Down" sound like childs play in comparison IMO...

I do agree that those are some memorable riffs/tunes, but Lay it Down belongs right there with them. And I could throw more into the pot....I know everyone hates this Ratt riff but it is memorable.

It's all good. "Lay it Down" is a very cool riff. I just prefer my riffage a little less bubble gummy.

 

[LowDesertSludge]

That's a fun riff and song to play, especially with a good drummer.

Here's my SLO...this was three years ago? Into OwnHammer Scumback M75s. I believe the guitar was an EVH Stealth.

I'm not even sure all of those songs have "riffs"

I wasn't naming songs, I was naming entire albums. Entire albums that are loaded with killer "riffs."

I thought this tread was supposed to be about guys playing the intro to the "Lay it down" riff??

This is something I did a few years ago with Chad and Diego from this forum. I know I could do my parts better now with better tone...maybe I will redo it?

Anyway here it is. I took the liberty to ad-lib a ride out solo.

"I know you really want to lay it down..."

Question: What exactly is it that needs to be laid down, and how?

Just a rough overall view of 'laying it down' in the PG-13 version.

Let's not stray off topic, lest Splawner may get upset again.

Well done!!!
Thanks guys for bringing this thread back to it's origin.


OK so here's mine....

 

[Mailman1971]

I know people talk smack about this riff.....
but after a second or 2....you know what it is. It ruled my tape deck back in the day.

 

[jape23]

I want to hear your best "Lay it Down" by Ratt intro. Let's fuckin hear it!!

For the love of all that is holy, let's fuckin not....

So let me get this straight; you have a strong aversion to people posting their Lay It Down clips. You'd really rather not hear anyone do that. And yet you keep clicking on a thread that is dedicated to guys posting Lay it Down clips?
