Deadly tune.

Did we already have some Zep? Probably, but not this one. Supposedly one of Morello's favourites and you can totally hear the roots of his style in it. The riff first heard around 5 seconds in, behind the vocal. Great one to jam too.

Edit: Goldfish/over 40 memory... I posted some Zep already myself  :-X

Since I've extracted my head from my anus and come back to enjoying the Zepp, been spinning them again recently. Celebration Day and No Quarter will always be their best songs to my ears, but oh my that's a banging riff! Never knew the Morello affinity before.

Edit - my favourite riff of their's is the intro to Ten Years Gone, and how the bass follows it. Perfect.

Ten Years Gone is peak-peak Zeppelin, one of several unbelievably rich songs on Physical Graffiti.

Anyway, don't want to derail things too much from metal, so maybe, throwing caution and Marmite to the wind, some Tool to direct things back a bit? (No Quarter connection and all that.)

Riff climax at 3:12

Yeah had III and PG on earlier, immense albums.

That Tool cover of No Quarter is fucking amazing. Paid €25 for the audio CD only of Salival many moons ago just to have it.

Adam Jones was one for the first guitarists that thought me that riffs don't have to be technical/fast/widdly/whatever to be good and that feel/atmosphere are equally important/potent drivers of excellence.

The Crowbar version of 'No Quarter' is MIGHTY.

It fucking is. That and the Tool version are each mighty.

Since Tom Morello got a mention there, I think this is one of his best riffs. Born Of A Broken Man.

Hope Metal Blade manage to get the repress rights on that one. Think Demmel mentioned that they were looking into it a while back.

Ridiculous amount of riffs in that song. Loomis in my opinion is one of modern greats when it comes to riffs/solos.

4:51 onwards, just love a great clean section meshed with the heavy  :abbath:

Lovecraftian sledgehammer of an opener riff

Killer  :abbath:

I was listening to Agent Orange earlier tonight and it put me in the mood for this banger for some reason. Most often lauded for its solo, that shouldn't overshadow the sheer quality of the riffage throughout:
