kaiser Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Obviously this is done in chronological order according to when bands started but there wouldn't be the riff to "Day Tripper" without the earlier "Satisfaction" & definately not a "I Can't Explain" for the criminally over looked (in regards to this list) "You Really Got Me". Let the fist wringing begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the fist wringing begin... If you click on the link to the Dave FM site they have posted links to others that have posted similar clips to YouTube so this one video isn't the be all and end all of the 100 Riffs approach.
