As the new millennium settled in, ex-Guns N’Roses members Slash, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan joined forces with ex-Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland and rock group Velvet Revolver were born!.  Their first single ‘Slither’ is an excellent moshpit anthem, kicked off by a long, ominous intro, followed by a Zeppelin-style riff, it remains their best-known song. It is fair to say that Velvet Revolver exploded onto the rock scene with an aggressive attitude and immense amounts of panache!

Perhaps the eighties scariest band, Guns N’ Roses billed themselves as ‘The Most Dangerous Band In The World’.  ‘Welcome To The Jungle’, begins with a delayed guitar stutter before the bass and drums join in, and there’s a build-up to the key riff, which is reminiscent of The Sex Pistols.

This song has been imprinted on rock fans’ DNA since its release in January 1989.  Made memorable by its exquisitely hummable chorus, it was also known by the amazing riff that opens the track.  Based on three ascending chromatic notes, Slash has maintained the riff’s difficulty to emulate. It has recently been immortalised by none other than Hollywood hot stuff Tom Cruise, in 2012 blockbuster Rock Of Ages.
