No, no no no no no no no no no everybody is wrong snce no-one has mentioned Evil Elvis yet- that is one of the best bits of riffage I’ve ever heard. Ever. Unbeliever is pretty good as well, as are Teethgrinder, Potato Junkie and Screamager. Best Bass Line- Innocent X, and best drums?
T E E T H G R I N D E R !
Oh yes.

To continue the best drums issue: definately Opal Mantra! This is the most typical Fyfe-drums there is. I’ve never heard anyone drum like Fyfe did in Opal Mantra, it’s so fast, especially on the Isolation bootleg, it can’t get any better than this!

I love em all but for effectiveness i have gotta say either ‘breaking the law’ or ‘screamager.’ I also really like it half way through ‘loser cop’ and ‘stories’ progression riff is wicked.

Best bass: Innocent X by a damn sight
Best guitar: the solo in Tightrope Walker…gives me shivers every time I hear it
Best drums: dunno, but I get the opening to Meat Abstract stuck in my head every once in a while

As a drummer - Meat Abstract & Punishment Kiss. I think Fyfe was on drugs when he came up with Teethgrinder, cos it’s fuckin impossible to play it. If anyone says they can, they’re a liar!

Don’t you find the snare drum usage on teethgrinder to be a little off the beaten (or bitten) path of drumming methods, not that I’m a drummer.
I’m a guitarist, and I’d say the best riffs to have fun with, ie. jump around and don’t care if you get them a bit wrong would be Evil Elvis, Hellbelly, and Stop It Your Killing Me.

i agree roni, there are tracks that are much harder to play than teethgrinder. and i think its the slightly unusual beats that makes it such a great song. especialy the offbeat hihat fyfe was so fond of. TECHNO!!

i think that therapy riff are very simple to play but it has big power… I think alsat thats the best song is ‘Dancing with a Manson’ is very energetic rythm and very nice slides and chromatic sounds…
I like also ‘Zipless’ from nurse because there is nice strange sounds…

Roni, I’m talking about the version on ‘Nurse’. I can do Graham’s version perfectly, and I can make a reasonable attempt at Fyfe’s version - but I can’t perfect it at the moment.

hi Alan. Teethgrinder is actually pretty easy to play, and it’s quite similar to innocentx too. if you want harder songs, try isolation or even cc rider (which is quite easy for about a minute…). a fun beat i like to play is, er bollocks, forgotten the title. you know, ‘i can feel your fingers, feel your fingers in head…’ one of the b-sides to screamager.

Auto Surgery? Yeah, that’s cool to play. Teethgrinder is pretty similar to Innocent X, but just a tad harder. I love playing the tom parts to Punishment Kiss. Skinning Pit, Neck Freak & Nausea are great as well. Anyways, how exactly do you go about playing Teethgrinder? I lose control of my right hand (when playing the open/close hi-hats) when hitting that weird snare-bongo drum with my left hand. Know what I mean? Or am I just talking shite.

I know what you mean, are you just playing offbeats on the hihat or are you playing 8ths? i find 8ths easier. strangely enough i find innocent x harder than teethgrinder. The right hand on epilepsy is a bitch too…

I play offbeats so basically, right-hand goes back, hihats close. Then, right-hand strikes hihats as you release them with your left-foot. I think the songs kick drum is too irregular to use 8ths, I dunno.

Graham doesn’t close the hihats at all, which is much, much easier to play. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound nearly as good ‘cos the disco-style beat is gone.

He plays both sticks on open hihats at the same time. Then he just hits that weird bongo-snare with his left hand, and the snare with his right…pretty easy.
