The original taco riff @3:18 :


Unexpected taco @1:18 :


I don't know if they really count because they aren't a bridge or "the heavy part", but the main riffs in "Slaves and Bulldozers" and "4th of July" both tickle that same heavy part of my brain.

I think I said it in the original thread, but Smart Went Crazy's Con Art was chock full of 'em. Taco drum licks from Ocampo too, who also had some pretty mean Taco guitar riffs w/ Faraquet, some of whom are probably in odd meters. Speaking of which..

How about this riff in 11/4 from the tune "The Reenactment" off of Cheer Accident's wonderful Enduring the American Dream? Now that's my kinda taco riff.

Starts at 1:55

Been meaning to post a live version of this taco riff (for extra intensity), but couldn't decide which version to post.
So I'm gonna go with the original recording - video starts at the build-up, which is a pretty cool riff in itself.

3:40

Maybe not an *exact* taco riff, but this is probably 14 bars of the Replacements at their best, and it's taco-riffy.

Bumping this because I'd love to hear some taco riffs.

Also, I think a PRF Monthly Tribute winner should choose Taco Riffs as a monthly theme. That is all.

2:34 and 2:50 the best taco riffs take you by surprise



at 1:56 and 3:33 Mick Mars' dork-fingered guitar (Christgau's slam not mine) drops a tasty taco riff. don't hate.



the taco riffs at 54 sec and 2:19 and 4:37 settle into taco grooves. Taco riff coda.

1:33 and 3:38
