Gain it for Riffs!

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.

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!

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!

Music by: Jonatan Hedlin

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!

??!

YES! JUDAS!

Finally the dual lead prophets of Judas Priest,

Glenn Tipton and KK Downing gets smashed

together with progrock pioneer Steve Howe of YES.

And there is only one place on the podcast heaven 

where these stars align - you guessed it:

GAIN IT FOR RIFFS!

Olle gets stuck in the Roundabout at 00:05:47 and Jon pokes

the Electric Eye at 00:43:50!

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!

LISTEN: JUMP ON A MOON BEAM AND RIDE!

Captain Beyond - S/T (1972) is the deserted island album pick

for both of your resident riffsters, and the 35-minute riffstravaganza 

has brought an unfathomable amount of joy to us since we first heard it.

An undeniable classic but at the same time sadly forgotten

by time, sloppy management and bad luck - at the moment the album 

is not available on any streaming service..!

So our goal with this New Years Special is to play every riff on the album

and make an introduction to this mystery super-group featuring

Rod Evans (vocals, ex-Deep Purple), Bobby Caldwell (ex-Johnny Winter, ex-Armageddon

ex-Allman Bros), Rhino (ex-Iron Butterfly, ex-Rhinosaurus, ex-Allman Bros) and 

Lee Dorman (ex-Iron Butterfly).

Just like the album, this episode should be experienced as one unit, 

the imploding center of a dying star, the penultimate accomplishment in 70's riffdom,.

The LP that forged a bond stronger than quasars: 

CAPTAIN BEYOND

So strap on your fave purple guitar and riff along!

Happy New Year!

'tis the season! - or something like that, right?!

As philanthropic non-profit riff merchants  we come baring gifts.
We know you've all been GREAT (no kidding) this year  and thus deserve the HEAVIEST gifts wrapped 'neat the fir.

Olle jingles his heaviest bells with riffs by Corrosion of Conformity and Jon rips out the German veterans in RAMMSTEIN for a proper Weinnacht vibe!

Hell, what can we say.. but:

MERRY RIFFMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all y'all rock and roll children!

Your riff brothers are building an ethereal airthrone as a respite from the ongoing lockdown. 

Two quintessential musical duos with riffs heading in vastly different musical directions. 

Olle explains why the electric bass is a funny instrument and why getting fired is more important than getting hired. 

Jon convicts his right riff hand to three tones of hard labor!

Enjoy the ride, lockdown riff lords!

Fate has brought us both to the late 1960s...rock and/or roll in it's semi-adolescent years. Psychedelic habits, roaring Hammond B3s, increasingly heroic string pugilists. Yes, and why not? This is a great time indeed, a great time for riffs. A worthy stop on our ever elongated journey into and beyond riff dominion.  

So, this week Olle riffs out on Iron Butterfly and Jon hits it with the American Band themselves: Grand Funk Railroad. 
Intro: Christmas for Dummies by Olle Stjerne

In A Gadda Da Vida, honey!

#riff #podcast #grandfunkrailroad #ironbutterfly #inagaddadavida #in-a-gadda-da-vida #wereanamericanband

After a bit over half a year of doing this we take the opportunity to look back at our first 35 hours or so, a.k.a. Season 1!
Never mind the audio drop out 05:21-05;29.

If you are not familiar with Gain it for Riffs this would also serve well as a type of introduction as to what we've been up to since starting this.

We look back at riffs by artists such as  Led Zeppelin, Rush, Down, Link Wray, Death, High on Fire, ZZ Top, Justice, Kurt Vile, Metallica and Iron Maiden.

Intro & Outro music: "Born Again (for the very last time)" by The Reverend John Loathe

Prince of Massachusetts! 

We both ended up in the later 70s with two rather different but equally brilliant music maestros in Tom Scholz and Prince.

In each episode we pick one main riff each, undisclosed to the other part, to base our discussions around.
In this episode Jonatan jams out on "Long Time" by Boston while Olle goes for "Bambi" by Prince.

We head on to Boston at 06:00 and we stumble about on the ice starting on 40:10

Outro music "You Are The Boss" composed and performed by Spirit Heath

Isaak Blooming Oaktree is a beast of a bass player and a cool-handed rhythm-guitar player to boot. Today our esteemed musical colleague  and friend makes his on-air debut with not one, but TWO class acts:  

Joni Mitchell plucks on our heart strings with her suspended chords lining up like voters on their way to a both. The tension is heartbreaking.   

Johnny Marr, the eclectic pluck-meister from the new wave sensation The Smiths, was the perfect foundation to Morrissey’s crooney ramblings, during a simpler time, when politics came on a distant second place. 

Meanwhile, from across the polder, Olle melts your brain with some pill-popping,  mind-expanding space rock courtesy of Dave Wyndorf and his magnetized gang  of sofa-lying monsters!  What a feast for your poor ears!

Hey, man, if your uncle loves tools and drops acid over and over again until he can feel his lateralus, this just might be the episode for you! 

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats is probably the best retro act active today, because they have the decency to wear their influences on their sleeve, while still keeping a few aces up the same.  

TOOL is an unlikely mainstream hit, blending drop-d riff barrages with a clever twist on the dated prog-routine and vocal deliveries that made them your AND your math teacher's favorite band!

In each episode we pick one main riff each, undisclosed to the other part, to base our discussions around.
In this episode Olle jams out on "Over And Over Again" by Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats while Jon goes for "Lateralus" by Tool

The acid trip kicks in at 04:47 and we spiral out with Tool at 35:44

Manosaur Jr!
STARK contrast in this episode, STARK. Alternative rocker and slacker-master J Mascis chills out with a fresh pot of coffee in his cozy living room while Joey DeMaio and his boys in Manowar are constantly riding into further glory in their make believe warriorland. We also touch on infinite outros as well as perverted rockstars.

We are balancing on the Edge of Riffdom here, my friends! From somewhere just outside the inner harbor in Gothenburg, the sadistic string-pugilists of At the Gates meet the solitary axe-man born in Rangoon, Burma, known as Nick Drake. In this week's episode Jon brings the pain with Slaughter of the Soul and Olle peers beyond darkness with Day is Done.

This episode is a tribute to amazing gifts.

Enjoy folks!

Kurt Samuel Vile is famous for his work as a solo-outfit as well as his part of The War on Drugs.
His fame comes as no surprise to us here at Gain it for Riffs as his riff ideas evoke all kinds of feelings and associations in our respective studios. We also peak back into Japanese video game soundtracks with some hyper speed hovercraft racing in the name of F-Zero.

In each episode we pick one main riff each, undisclosed to the other part, to base our discussions around.
In this episode Olle's pick is "Pretty Pimpin" by Kurt Vile while Jon goes for "Big Blue" (a.k.a "Decide in the Eyes") from the video game F-Zero on Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64.

Classic Stockholm Death metal / Death'n'roll outfit Entombed have most definitely been a huge part of our life within music. This being a fact, it comes as no surprise that this prolific heavy duty HM-2 buzz saw quintet got a bit of a longer spot than the usual GIFR segment - with nearly an hour and a few riffs going back and forth. In addition to this Olle brought a riff that has annoyed him for some time past, with hopes of exorcising it for good.

In each episode we pick one main riff each, undisclosed to the other part, to base our discussions around.
In this episode Jon goes for "Chief Rebel Angel" by Entombed and Olle's pick is "Tres Brujas" by The Sword
At 07:50 we summon the Chief Rebel Angel and on the 60:50 minute mark we warp-ride along side the three witches.

Slayer is as fast and hard as they get, but were they ever banned for a riff? Nativeamerican rocker Link Wray trailblazed  powerchords all the way back in 1958 with his instrumental-monumental riff rocker Rumble. These riffers mesh unbelievably well in this week's RUMBLE IN THE ABYSS!!
