    Jesus Christ, man - I never said either of those posters said "best riff ever" - I said that people in general say that, when they haven't a clue. It's already been said numerous times ITT.
    I quoted those 2 posters because I disagreed with them. And then I spoke about people saying "best solo ever", etc, in a completely different post!
    Get with it. You applied a standalone post I made, to 2 other posters I quoted in an entirely different post.

    If you're not lumping them in with the best solo ever crowd why did you say they know nothing about music?

    Never said that. I know more about music than you though, and I'm a better musician than your entire band.

    Hahaha! What else? Did you once beat up Jean Claude Van Damme in a fight? Or pulled Angelina Jolie in a club one night when none of your friends had cameras on phones on them but you swear it's true?!

    I'd find you hilarious if you were 12, but i'm guessing you're a man in his 30s, possibly married and is typing this from an office right now.........

    From now on i'll only be able to picture this when I read your posts

    I actually just remembered this. I replied to him in another thread, about sneaking into movies at the cinema, with this and then he replied with this. T'was hilarious! So possibly a troll!

    On topic: I actually prefer Hotel California. Always hated Stairway in general and my parents are massive Eagles fans and i always liked that song.

    You know nothing about music. You're just repeating what you've heard. Next you'll be saying Clapton is "a guitar God" too, and that Flea is the best bass player in the world.

    Clapton is a guitar God, so guess I know nothing about music also

    Hotel is a decent tune as is Stairway but both have been overplayed to death

    oh I always disliked the Eagles, give me Credence anyday

    Two great tunes -but for me has to be Hotel California - Stairway way overplayed and not Led Zepplins' best tune imo.

    This for me is the ultimate great tune - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou7P0QX25IY

    (Hope I inserted link right - new to this

    Hotel to Heaven for me.
    A lot of people go on about the riff in California Heaven but for me Hotel Stairway's guitar work is superior.
    People in this thread know nothing about music.

    I listened to both of them just to remind me of them, don't know how anyone can pick Hotel California, Stairway kicks it's arse.
