Wow another amazing post from the OCUK turbo-troll. You have quite obviously missed the whole point of this thread.

Well, now its your turn iBot, lets have some riffs as you are quite obviously the master.

I would post mine but I need to go back to Abbey Road Studios and remaster it.

I selected the first preset I though might be remotely 'all round' for all 5 riffs. All are satisfactory for guessing the riff. The thread isn't supposed to be a display of tone or musicianship, so all comments regarding such will just make the poster look like a total prat.

Theres no need to explain yourself, everyone knows except the usual. Any excuse for a bit of attention...
 
I reckon;
1. Foo Fighters - My Hero
2. Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
3. not sure
4. Metallica - Blackened?
5. Radiohead - Airbag

That's to I Am Vengeance, nice tone by the way, what was it played with? :)

1,2 and 5 are right. As i thought! Songs were too well known. :)

Edit: The tone is just a Mesa Boogie dual recto with bad tubes, and a badly mic'ed Marshall cab. The guitar is a 57 black beauty with worn frets and terrible intonation.

All correct, way too obvious, as i thought. I don't know a lot of rock that isn't so well known, although, i thought the song judith would have taken longer to guess. I will have another go tomorrow.
 
Agh, can we use the colour to hide answers as previously stated? Just saw the answers to some I didn't want to know :(

Number 4 of the OP is still to be recognised...

If anyone would like to rehost it due to people disliking rapidshare, please do (fileshack doesn't seem to like me).
