Hey y'all!

I've been loving making these RR videos. While i love getting super technical and talking lead playing skills, its not the whole ballgame! Even if you have the most chops of anybody on the planet, if you don't have great rhythm guitar skills and riffs to use the other 99% of the song, you've got nothing! And that's what Riff Retrospective is all about: Worshipping at the altar of the almighty RIFF!!!

So which album should we talk next?!?! I'm gonna put up some options and also put an "other" choice so you can write your own vote in the comments. Much like Frasier Crane, I'M LISTENING!

Hope everyone is well. BTW, the fill-in singer (Derik Sibit) we had at the Skank gig last night CRUSHED IT! Good lord! If you're around Nashville, go catch his Dokken tribute band Under Lokken Key.

Cheers, y'all! Cast that vote and have a great weekend!

I voted for Powerage, but can we get a Thin Lizzy deep dive too? They do not get nearly enough respect

Kings X.....to those who don't know them....you should really give them a listen. Be patient and it will pay off big time!!!
