49 - Elephant Funeral and Daydream

We've been Gaining it for Riffs for a full year!! To celebrate proper, this time we have an esteemed guest in Nathan Beaudry from the Deep Purple Podcast! Nate hits us with three main riffs and them some. We talk Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica/Megadeth, Herbie Hancock with sprinkles of Vanilla Ice / Queen, Jethro Tull and of course a bit of the ol' Deep Purple. #redhotchilipeppers #herbiehancock #metallica #megadeth #queen #deeppurple #jehtrotull #riff #podcast #guitar #gibson #fender #bass #cliffburton #davemustaine #iananderson #johnfrusciante #flea #anthonykiedis #chadsmith #jameshetfield #tonyiommi #blacksabbath #chameleon #jumpinthefire #mylovelyman #bloodsugarsexmagic #headhunters #killemall  

It is indeed WARPURGIS NACHT - and what better date to GAIN IT FOR RIFFS, yet again? The preciseness of The preciseness of the Police and the will to experiment of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard fueled our riff choices this week. 03:28 warrants The Police and at 35:46 we head on to Mars Enjoy!

Easter Special with your riff boys travelling through time and rock. As we have relapsed into habits of time travelling we have made stops both around Y2K with some hipster-stoner in "Sleepy Silver Door" by Dead Meadow and in the midst of the late 80s with some re-branded muscle rock balladery by David Coverdale's might Whitesnake. So, hey, hop on and join the friggin' show why dontcha!? Olle opens the Silver Door at 06:10 while Jon riffs through the Still of the Night at the 40:50 mark. ENJOY! [email protected]

While dental surgery takes its toll on the normal GIFR production line we at the network would like to invite you into this daydream. Music by Koltrast

What's up folks?! We did indeed file for sick-leave on both ends last week, but lo' and behold we are BACK! This week we visit beautifully groovy riffs from both ends of the Atlantic pond.  Olle tones in the deepest of purple at 06:18 and Jon drops the needle on the Snakeskin Cowboys at 32:32 ENJOY!

Having ended up amongst ancient tombs in the deepest of jungle, we are unsure if we are trapped within Olle's dengue fever or the schaman's magic pipe. What we are, however, sure of is that this week we take the Trek of Ancient Riffs! Hopefully Olle has recovered before next Wednesday for more clear-headed explorations! Enjoy!

The bums lurking about around the Thames surely didn't know how to prog out at the level of Genesis. But indeed, they inspired Ian Anderson and Martin Barre to compose long nasty riffs. Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, two megastars who may have pulled the best line-up split of known history? Jon rips onto the riffs of J. Tull at the 08:00 minute mark while Olle climbs Solsbury Hill at 37:37. Enjoy, folks!

So, it happened. We each made an undisclosed riff choice, as we do for most episodes, and happened to pick the very same band! This is Episode 666 (42..actually) : The Unexpected In Flames Special. Olle's mainriff is Clayman from the album of the same name and Jon's is Cloud Connected from the album after, Reroute to Remain. We take a trip back to teenage years and scope in on In Flames development and changing of style and members over the years. Othe riffs include "The Jester Race", "Dead Eternity", "The Hive", "Episode 666", "Bullet Ride" and "Only for the Weak" Outro tune: "Blackbird" by Jonatan Hedlin Enjoy!

Blizzards!  Jungle Valleys!  Deserts! What a mighty trek this week, folks. Your resident riff-mongers are now not only back on earth but completely ROAMING the globe. Jon is trapped in a blizzard but still welcomes you to the jungle with some mighty ass Slash-riffage as a (standing up!) Owlie explores Sky Valley with a guitar tone of Jurassic proportion. It's an adventure worthy the, by now, established season 2 of Gain it for Riffs! Enjoy!

Your riff boys are yet again touching ground on planet earth after a lengthy 144 days in Captain Beyond's Cosmic Space Station.  Coming back as seasoned Monster Astronauts both Jon'o and Owlie-Steen celebrate their newly re-kindled connection with mother earth, by riffing - of course. Olle is picking from the box this episode, crash-landing into Michael Amott's pentatonic riff-dreams from Halmstad: Spiritual Beggars! A familiar band for the true Gain it for Riffer and this time it is an all-out feature! Simultaneously, in another time, Udo Dirkschneider and Wolf Hoffman were plodding down autobahn in an old Volkswagen or Lada, touring their steady beer-chugging hymns from bierstübe to kneipe, from Wacken to Dong Open Air. So get your riffsticks out of the closet and pour yourself a bland german weissbier and RIFF ON! #michaelamott #spiritualbeggars #spice #ludwigwitt #perwiberg #saveyoursoul #angelofbetrayal #escapingthefools #stoner #metal #euphoricrock #accept #udo #udodirkschneider #michaelwagner #wolfhoffman #princessofthedawn #autobahn #kraut #heavymetal #beer #oktoberfest #germany #sweden Enjoy!
