Famous guitar riffs vol. 2
Simple but heavy, Jimi Page's riff is one of the undisputed roots of heavy metal music. This timeless simbol of rock is based on E power chords and typical Zepp's bluesy-hard rock style. Page played the loose blues riff for the intro, on a Telecaster through a
100W Marshall "Plexi" head amp with distortion from the EL34 output
valves, which ascends into the first chorus.
Led Zeppelin's bass player John Paul Jones has stated that Page's famous riff probably emerged from a stage improvisation during the band's playing of "Dazed and Confused", but Page denied that: "No. No. Absolutely incorrect. No, it was put together when we were
rehearsing some music for the second album. I had a riff, everyone was
at my house, and we kicked it from there. Never was it written during a
gig--where did you hear that?" And later explained: "I had [the riff] worked out already before entering the studio. I had
rehearsed it. And then all of that other stuff, sonic wave sound and all
that, I built it up in the studio, and put effects on it and things,
treatments".

Great covers in rock and metal music No.1
We are starting with some some great covers, some of them are quite famous, even better known then the original, and some of them are quite unknown... Jimi Hendrix made a great cover of Dylan's All along the watchtower, even Dylan admitting it the best, Metallica brought Thin Lizzy's rock version of old Irish folk song back in spotlight, giving it metal overtones. Very few people are actually aware that I fought the law (The Clash) and Ain't no love in the heart of the city (Whitesnake) are actually covers, and for those who didn't hear it already, enjoy this great soulful Steve Lukather's interpretation of Little Wing...
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Metallica - Whiskey in the jar (Thin Lizzy, Irish folk song)
The Clash - I Fought the Law (Sonny Curtis of The Crickets, later The Bobby Fuller Four)
Toto (Steve Lukather) - Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix)
Whitesnake - Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City (Bobby "Blue" Bland)
More to come...

Heavy Metal
Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music[1] that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the Midlands of the United Kingdom and the United States.[2] With roots in blues rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion,
extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy
metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity and machismo.[3]
The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence;[4] Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal had attracted a worldwide following of fans known as "metalheads" or "headbangers".
In the 1980s, glam metal became a major commercial force with groups like Mötley Crüe and Poison. Underground scenes produced an array of more extreme, aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, while other styles like death metal and black metal remain subcultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s, popular styles such as nu metal, which often incorporates elements of grunge and hip hop; and metalcore, which blends extreme metal with hardcore punk, have further expanded the definition of the genre.

Hard rock
Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards.
Hard rock developed into a major form of popular music in the 1970s, with bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Van Halen, and reached a commercial peak in the mid to late 1980s. The glam metal of bands like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and the rawer sounds of Guns N' Roses followed up with great success in the later part of that decade, before losing popularity in the face of grunge. Despite this, many post-grunge bands adopted a hard rock sound and in the 2000s there came a renewed interest in established bands, attempts at a revival, and new hard rock bands that emerged from the garage rock and post-punk revival scenes.
