Thought I might as well post a mix. There's 5 songs with a 2 second gap between each.

Mix 1

Robosapien · 9 Jan 2008 at 20:01

1 Oasis - Let there be love
2 Chilli Peppers - By the way

?? Don't think they are correct, the endings of both make me think I am not on the right path.

This thread is awesome and must never die. Stude1983 got the answer to track two on my first mix. This is the answer to the subsequent remaining riff, which I don't think anyone will get because I made a hash of it and have ended up playing something that sounds nothing like it. Anyway it was meant to be the killer outro riff which in my opinion should have been used throughout the whole song. Still a fantastic song though.

Both not right. The way I played the first one does make it sound like that oasis song though.

Apologies for jumping the gun again Nitefly, I've done another one.
(Thread = too addictive.)
Apologies also for horrible tone, I can only afford primitive last-legs equipment.

Good point! - If it isn't then I'm saying it's Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen.

Riff 1 is so familiar but I do not have the faintest idea where it's from. Riff 4 sounds Black Sabbath-like?

stude1983 · 9 Jan 2008 at 23:15

Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

it does sound more like that tbh robosapien.
