15 November 2007

help me pin down the origins of this guitar riff!!! [More:]i recently rediscovered the joys and wonders of chicago's late, lamented the jesus lizard, and while i was listening to the goat album, something about duane denison's main guitar riff in "then comes dudley" (it starts @ around 0:07) struck me as sounding awfully familiar, but in a different way. i seem to recall hearing an old miles davis record from the early seventies over at a friend's house, and god damn it if i didn't hear that same riff coming out of john mclaughlin's guitar (i think it was mclaughlin, anyway) at one point. it sounded like denison lifted the riff wholesale from that same record, but i'm hard-pressed to remember which one it was...

anyone else remember?
Nope, doesn't ring a bell here. Not a bad song, though!

On The Corner?

i don't think it was on the corner, but i'd love to hear that album again anyway, even if it's only to confirm whether that was where the riff came from or not.

i seem to remember that miles album being a japan-only release (it had one of those really cool paper sleeves like you always see on japanese imports). it may have been one of his live albums like dark magus or pangaea...

i dunno. regardless of whoever came up with it first, it's still one of the most menacing, creepy riffs ever crafted. (it worked brilliantly in hal hartley's amateur...)
