Re: Slither is the 2nd best riff of the century
^ Hash pipe is a great song...my band used to warm up with it cos it's so fun to play.
Not sure why anyone would think it's gay, these lyrics are purely hetrosexual 
"These players come to get me
’Cause they’d like my behind.
I can’t love my business,
If I can’t get a trick."
"The knee-stocking flavor
Is a favorite treat
Of men that don’t bother
With the taste of a teat."
"Come on and kick me, You’ve got your problems;
I’ve got my ass wide"

Here here. Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who cannot stand that band.
On a related note.

If someone doesn't like a band or artist, they would usually just ignore their music, but James Burns hates Weezer so much he's willing to raise millions to get them to hang it up for good. Seattle native Burns launched an online fundraiser to collect $10 million in hopes of sending Weezer to early retirement, The Stranger reports.
Despite only raising $12 to this point, Burns' plea to Weezer isn't so much about his own feelings for the band but rather the anguish the group causes his friends who keep waiting for the band to produce a monumental album like 'Pinkerton' and their debut, the so-called 'Blue Album.'
"This isn't about me. This is about Weezer fans," Burns wrote on the website. "This is an abusive relationship, and it needs to stop now. I am tired of my friends being disappointed year after year."
Patrick Wilson, drummer for Weezer, played along and responded on Twitter asking Burns to raise the stakes.
"If they can make it to 20, we'll do the 'deluxe breakup!'" Wilson tweeted.
The Stranger then interviewed Burns, and he says he's willing to stick out for the long haul until he raises the money. As for the angry fans attacking Burns, he doesn't mind them so much.
"I am not afraid of Weezer fans," Burns said. "I can take it. Besides, I'm doing this mostly for them."
Weezer's latest album 'Death to False Metal' hits the racks on Nov. 2.

It´s because sometimes(most times) music doesn´t need to be complicated or extremely elaborate to be really good. Wezzer makes good tunes with catchy melodies and that´s it. Basic or not sometimes less is more. I can understand people not really liking Weezer but seems like an odd band to hate to me.

Muse’s ‘Plug in Baby’ voted greatest guitar riff of the 21st century
http://www.futureplc.com/2010/10/04/mus … t-century/
Guitarists have named Muse’s ‘Plug in Baby’ as the greatest guitar riff of the 21st century, in a poll conducted by Total Guitar magazine.
Total Guitar asked their readers to vote for the ultimate guitar riff of the last 10 years, which is celebrated in a special ‘Monster Riffs’ edition of the magazine, on sale 1st October.
The poll generated the top 50 ultimate guitar riffs from the last decade, leading to some interesting results without the influence of more classic rock pre-2000; with bands such as Green Day, Kasabian, Biffy Clyro, Elbow, AC/DC, Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers all making the top 50.
British band Muse managed to take two spots in the top 5 with ‘Knights of Cydonia’ and ‘Plug in Baby’, alongside American rock band Avenged Sevenfold, Velvet Revolver, Dream Theater, Queens of the Stone Age, The White Stripes, Machine Head and The Killers who made the rest of the top 10.
Lead guitarist Matt Bellamy’s decade-defining riff is deceptively difficult to play according to Total Guitar magazine, with extreme attention to detail required for such a technically complicated riff.
Total Guitar – Greatest guitar riff of the 21st century
1. Plug in Baby – Muse
2. Slither – Velvet Revolver
3. Afterlife – Avenged Sevenfold
4. The Dark Eternal Night – Dream Theater
5. Knights of Cydonia – Muse
6. No One Knows – Queens of the Stone Age
7. Seven Nation Army – The White Stripes
8. Halo – Machine Head
9. Mr Brightside – The Killers
10. Beast And The Harlot – Avenged SevenfoldStephen Lawson, Editor of Total Guitar magazine said:
“I think Muse won because Matt Bellamy is a guitar hero for the 21st century. He’s genuinely innovative, a real creative type who comes up with unique guitar parts. I’m sure it helps that his riffs are catchy too. This poll proves that modern rock is just as exciting, as chock full of brilliant riffs as classic rock was. Is ‘Plug In Baby’ as great a riff as (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction? You bet it is!”
For the full run-down on the greatest guitar riffs of the 21st century, check out the latest issue of Total Guitar magazine, on sale 1st October priced at £4.99. The ‘Monster Riffs’ special also shows guitarists how to write their own riffs, as well as featuring an interview with ‘The Human Riff’ Keith Richards.
Very European outlook.
I;m guessing best American riffs would look a lot different
Re: Slither is the 2nd best riff of the century
Well, I really like Weezer. Catchy music is catchy music. Besides, they have their roots in glam rock/metal, so that doesn't bother me at all. The Green Album could have been a Kiss record. Except better.
Didn't they open for GNR a few shows? Axl and Rivers probably have a lot in common. Frontmen with weird views/backgrounds.
